Abbot Fang was relieved. Such a quantity, even if entirely excavated, should not cause significant damage to the temple.
Guided by the location, the archaeological team began to dig.
They dug nearly two meters deep before they unearthed a large chest.
"Professor Jiang, are the treasures here the same as the treasure Mr. Luo found?" one of them asked.
"We will not know until we dig it up," was the response.
The depth at which the treasure was buried varied.
But that was not much of a problem.
If the intention was to confuse outsiders, then the treasure must be buried deeper. Buried too shallow? It would not look like treasure, especially since Zhang Xianzhong did not regard it highly!
Or perhaps it was that the monks of the past unearthed it and reburied it themselves.
Jiang Biehe was more inclined to believe it was the monks' doing.
