Paris is an honest big boy. One day, he went to a mountain near Lunbao to herd sheep and watched the sheep grazing leisurely there. Paris was lying on the grass, dreaming and falling asleep. When he woke up, he found that the most obedient old goat was gone. This really worried him. Let's have a look around. Not far from the hillside, he saw a big crack below and thought, "Did the sheep get in?" He came down doubtfully. Careful observation will reveal that there is no end in sight. What should we do?
Thinking of his father's majestic eyes at home, he still got up the courage and went in along this endless tunnel.
It's dark in the tunnel, so you can only follow a little light outside. He went deeper, darker and more afraid. He moved forward almost step by step. If you go any further, he will be scared to death! Because his eyes are full of skeletons. Panicked, Paris couldn't help kneeling beside those skeletons and praying to God for fear that a ghost would suddenly jump out and kill him. After all, the big boy is a little man. Later, he gradually stabilized. At this time, he noticed that not all of them were skeletons, and there were several big boxes on the ground that could not tell what color they were. Boldly open the box, suddenly shine at the moment: it is full of gold coins!
Paris filled her pockets with gold coins and turned and ran home. The next thing can be imagined. This thrilling experience completely changed his and his parents' family situation overnight, and soon attracted many comments from people in Lunburg: some people were puzzled, some speculated, some were jealous, and some even reported him to local officials. Paris is a devout believer. He doesn't want to lie, but he doesn't want to tell the truth either. Because he never revealed the true origin of these gold coins, he died in prison for unwarranted theft. However, the stubborn child did not tell the secret of the catacombs until his death.
How many gold coins are there in that catacombs? How many treasures are there? Who is hiding there? According to the research of later generations, it is a treasure as high as 654.38+08.5 million gold coins (654.38+09 14 is equivalent to 654.38+08 billion francs)!
Whose "golden mountain" are they?
Among the opinions of the French in the past hundred years, there are roughly three kinds of opinions that are relatively concentrated:
Some historians believe that this huge treasure was hidden by French Regent bransch de Castilla in 1250. They are at least 70,000 years old. Why did the Queen hide this treasure in Lunburg?
It is speculated that in February 1250, an armed riot, mainly composed of shepherds, serfs and urban poor, once swept through northern and central France because of the oppression of aristocratic owners and the burden of king's taxes. In order to avoid the influence of the riots, Queen Castilla brought people to Lunburg. At that time, Rennes Castle was called Radar, with nearly 3,000 residents. Surrounded by solid walls, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is considered an indestructible castle. Moreover, this castle is backed by mountains, and it is relatively comfortable to advance and retreat. More importantly, Renbao is located on the main road of Spain. If necessary, you can retreat to Spain to avoid it. Therefore, the Regent later decided to use Renburg as a temporary "Daofu" and hid this treasure in a secret place under the "Castle Tower" as a reserve when she needed it.
These treasures are enough to support a considerable number of troops and are of great significance to rebuilding hegemony. Regent died on 1252. Before dying, she told her son the secret.
Her son was later King Louis IX or Saint Louis of France. Louis IX was good at riding and hunting since he was a child. He ascended the throne before 13 years old. He was a devout Christian and a famous figure in the Crusades. 1244, when Jerusalem had fallen into the hands of pagans, he decided to go to the liberation holy land for the seventh crusade. 1248 On August 25th, he set out with 35,000 knights and 100 warships, landed in Cyprus, and then occupied Damietta. 1250, Louis IX was captured in Manasseh, Egypt, and he had to pay a ransom of 400,000 to be free. From 1250 to 1254, he lived in Jerusalem for four years, trying to reorganize Palestine and Syria. 1269 decided to explore Africa again. At the beginning of July, 1270 led the troops to land in Tunisia. At first, they won again and again and occupied Carthage. After that, his army was attacked by the plague, and he himself was killed by the plague. On his deathbed, he told the secret to his heir and attached a roll of parchment.
Later, the brave Philip III guarded the treasure with great vigilance. In addition to keeping the parchment, he secretly executed some insiders. Originally, he wanted to tell his future successors. However, before he could realize his wish, he died of a sudden fever on his way home after the war in Smogas.
Philip III's successor is Philip IV (1268 ~ 13 14). Born in Fontainebleau, he lost his mother at the age of 3 and was knighted at the age of 16. This man is tall and handsome, with blond hair and blue eyes, so he is called "handsome man". 1285 went south with his father and fought for the Aragon throne for his brother Charlie. 1294 started the war against England. 1303 After making peace with England, she married her daughter Princess Isabella to the future King Edward II of England. This marriage has kept Britain and France at peace for many years. Before the Anglo-French War, Philip IV led troops to suppress the Flemish people. Due to the huge expenses of more than ten years of war, the people have become poor. 1306, in order to plunder people's property, he decided to expel all Jews and confiscate their property. For the same reason,1September 307, he dissolved the Templar and gained a lot of wealth. Unfortunately, he didn't know that his late king was hiding such a huge treasure.
Others believe that this treasure is not necessarily hidden by the mother of King St. Louis, but may be the treasure of an ancient Frenchman named King alaric. King alaric's capital is also located in Lunburg. It is said that the king was brave and good at fighting, and won many treasures from the battle. But there is no evidence for this statement, because the ancient tomb was found according to the inscription on the parchment of Castilla, and the gold coin was cast 1250 years ago, not an ancient coin.
Others think that this may be the treasure of the "Purists" of the French heresy in the Middle Ages, because Lunburg was once one of the main strongholds of the Purists. According to historical records, this sect lived a simple life, but accumulated a lot of treasures, which were often buried for emergencies. This treasure may be the emergency wealth accumulated and hidden by purists. But later, for some unknown reason, the treasure keeper who knew the details lost his inheritance, so the treasure was lost in the long river of history.
1654, people rebuilt the town of Radar and renamed it Lunbao. Since then, the true whereabouts of this huge treasure has become a historical mystery.
It took more than 200 years to erase all traces of Paris and this treasure. Nothing seems to have happened in Lunburg.
1892, a very accidental opportunity made berenger Sauniere, the pastor of Lunburg Church, enter the mysterious catacombs, which made Lunburg attract the attention of all France.
On 1885, Bellenger Sauniere was appointed as the pastor of Lunburg Church. This man is very devout and charitable, and soon won the respect of the local people. And won the heart of the beautiful young Mary Denado.
1892, Sauniere got a municipal loan of 2,400 francs to repair his church and altar.
Father Bellenger Sauniere quickly used the money to invite masons to repair the roof of the church. One day, Babong, a mason, was too busy to be alone, so he asked the priest to help him choose one of several waxed hollow wooden pillars as the altar pillar. The priest picked up a piece of wood and found an old parchment with some ancient French and Latin written on it. At first glance, this is just some fragments in the New Testament. But Sauniere intuitively guessed that there must be many articles in it.
Father Sauniere hastily completed the renovation of the church, and then devoted all his energy to delving into this roll of parchment. He recognized a passage in the New Testament and found the autograph and seal of French Regent bransch de Castilla. So in the winter of 1892, he went to Paris to consult a linguist. Out of caution, he only showed linguists a few words that could not explain their meanings.
Finally, he finally realized that the imitation parchment was the secret of a treasure of 65.438+08.5 million gold coins hidden by the queen of France. When Sauniere returned to Renbao, although he didn't know the exact location of the treasure, he already had reliable information. He looked in the church first and found no trace.
One day, beautiful Mary saw an epitaph in the cemetery that fell from the tomb of Countess audubon Blanchford and was engraved with some strange inscriptions. Incredibly, these inscriptions are very consistent with the words on the parchment. Is the treasure hidden under that tomb?
With Mary's help, the priest began to wander around the cemetery. One night, they finally got inspiration from the countess's epitaph and found a tunnel named "Castle" under an empty cemetery. They walked along the tunnel that the stubborn boy Paris walked more than 200 years ago, and finally walked into a mysterious catacombs, where they found valuables such as gold coins and jewels!
Sauniere didn't forget the danger. In order to keep this secret forever, he simply scraped off the inscription on the countess's tombstone in the cemetery, carefully ruled out all clues that could let others find the catacombs, and hid the roll of parchment in the catacombs that only he and Mary knew.
The priest and Mary got many gold coins and jewels from the catacombs. When everything was finished perfectly, they closed the grave.
In order to hide people's eyes and ears, he and Mary agreed that he would go to Spain, Belgium, Switzerland and Germany first, exchange gold coins for cash, and then send them here through the post office in the name of Mary Denado. Soon, by 1893, Father Sauniere had become a rich man with hundreds of thousands of dollars.
He invited the best architects and renovated the whole church with the best materials. The newly-built church is resplendent, noble and elegant, comparable to any famous church in France. Then he rebuilt the house and built a pavilion with fountains and rockeries in the garden. Later, I bought land and a house, both named after Mary Denado. Later, the priest married Mary, and the charming Mary suddenly became the most distinguished first lady of Lomborg. This sudden change of the priest, which made everyone stunned, quickly attracted people's doubts. First the mayor, then the bishop, the archbishop, until the Pope kept asking where his money came from.
The mayor first found the priest and asked him about the source of funds. He even suspected that he was stealing money from parishioners. The priest told the mayor that he inherited the inheritance of an American uncle and gave the mayor 5000 gold coins (19 14 is equivalent to 5.6 million francs). After the mayor got the gold coin, he never asked anything again.
Bilal, Archbishop of Responsible Fort Church, was also deeply disturbed by what Sauniere had done. He sent someone to investigate, but the priest's gold coins, wine and delicacies made the investigation go away. Even the Archbishop of Ballal received gold coins and played dumb from then on.
1897, Father Sauniere began to build villas in Bedania. The cost of this villa with walls and towers is equivalent to 6,543.8+0,000 gold coins. In order to enjoy flowers all year round, the priest also built a greenhouse and a luxurious bathroom for him to take a bath. Everything he did was excessive and exaggerated, a luxury that no one could have imagined at that time. Bishop De Boselle, Bishop Bilal's successor, asked Father Sauniere to explain his wealth again after taking office. But at this time of Sauniere don't see the bishop in the eye.
The matter finally reached the Pope, who asked the Roman court to investigate the matter. Father Sauniere was summoned to Rome to appear in court. Finally, the court announced the suspension of Father Sauniere.
The rich priest ignored the verdict of the Roman court and continued to attend mass and pray in the chapel of his villa. Interestingly, almost all parishioners also came to his house to pray and attend mass. As a result, the new priest was embarrassed and had to swear never to go to Lunburg again.
Sauniere is also keen on public welfare undertakings. As a priest, he made a long-term plan to beautify Lunburg. He said that he would build a road to Curisa, build water diversion projects, water conservancy facilities and buy vehicles to facilitate local people's travel. Its total budget expenditure is 8 million gold coins, which is equivalent to the astronomical figure of 8 billion francs in 19 14 years!
Unfortunately, the pastor's brilliant plan has not been implemented before. 1October 51917,65438, he just signed several purchase orders, and his life was taken away by cirrhosis. Mary, in great pain, covered the priest's body with a piece of cloth with red fluffy balls and put it on the balcony. All the residents of Lunbao came to pray for the priest automatically, and everyone took a red pompon from the cover of the priest's body, just like taking the holy things from the saints.
From then on, Mary lived in seclusion, and only Mary knew the secret of the ancient tomb.
From 65438 to 0946, the gentle Mr Noel Kirby met the lonely Mary in her later years. He walks and chats with Mary all day, winning Mary's trust and friendship and finding him very reliable. Mary, who has always kept her mouth shut, said to Kobe one night, "Don't worry, you will have inexhaustible money in the future." Before I die, I will tell you a secret. "Unfortunately, on 1953 18 June 65438+ 10/8, Mary suddenly fell ill, lost consciousness and left this world forever with the secret of her treasure.
Poor Mr. Kobe didn't know the secret and didn't get any benefit from Mary, but he added another heart disease. From then on, he wandered around Lunburg like a headless fly, trying to find this treasure. After 10 years of searching day and night, until 1965, Kobe finally despaired.
No wonder Sauniere and Mary were able to find the grave. They relied on parchment and the inscription on the tombstone. When these two clues were ruled out again, where did the latecomers find them?
