No matter what, the secret room must have been found. As for whether there is any treasure hidden in it, Cheng Yu actually doesn't care that much anymore.
Compared with obtaining the treasures, this treasure hunting process was enough to make Cheng Yu feel interesting. In his true heart, Cheng Yu never cared about the treasures. Of course he was curious, but it was just that.
It's just curiosity. Cheng Yu didn't pay attention to the wealth hidden behind the treasure. What he really cared about was
, it is nothing more than the points brought by the treasures, which is a key step for him to get rid of the divine system. And as Cheng Yu began to search for these treasures seriously, every clue he found during this period, even if it turned out to be useless.
The clues did not bring any help to the final result of the treasure hunt at all, but just went to
Except for one wrong answer, this still allows Cheng Yu to feel the fun. The kind of finding clues from countless impossibilities, picking out a thread from thousands of tangled clues, and the regret after removing the wrong answer.
But he immediately became enthusiastic and excited again, which made Cheng Yu
Have fun doing it.
But now, all the efforts have come to fruition. He firmly believes that this is the last time. No matter whether there is a treasure here or not, this should be the place where Ji took the good fortune to hide it.
Four hundred years ago, the clues Ji Qishan left for his people must eventually lead to this place. As for whether there are treasures here, that is not something Cheng Yu can control, or even Ji Qishan can control.
This is like two wise men who have been separated for more than 400 years, having a conversation across the air. One poses a question and the other solves the riddle. Both of them should feel happy at this moment.
Ji Qishan should have a smile on his face, because even after more than four hundred years, there are still people who can understand him and find the place where his treasure is hidden according to the clues he left behind.
Cheng Yu, on the other hand, was already smiling broadly. This had nothing to do with treasures or wealth, but only that he had found the only possibility from the impossible. Looking at the gap in front of him that was as dark as a deep well, Cheng Yu's face was full of smiles.
A happy smile, even if the body is so tired, even if the water is still flowing all over the body. If it is not worried about causing unnecessary trouble,
Trouble, Cheng Yu really wants to look up to the sky and scream at this moment. Approaching the entrance of the cave, Cheng Yu shines the beam of his flashlight in. The cave is at least more than five meters deep. There is a wooden shelf standing next to the cave entrance, and on the shelf is a windlass.
, just like the ropes used to roll up the wells in rural areas
It is like a windlass used to lower a bucket to draw water.
It's just that over the years, the ropes on the wheel have long been broken, but a small broken end of a knotted hemp rope can still be seen on the hub wheel, which fully illustrates the role of this wheel in the past.
Cheng Yu stretched out his hand and pushed the wheel gently. The creaking sound and the violent shaking of the frame fully demonstrated that the wheel was now useless and had no use at all. However, Cheng Yu was not worried.
In this regard, not only this time, but also when he came here twice before, Cheng Yu had already thought that if there was a treasure secret room, it would most likely be underground. In order to prevent the cave from being too deep,
Cheng Yu always carries a climbing rope and iron drill.
He took off his backpack from his back and took out the iron drill, hammer and climbing rope. Without any effort, Cheng Yu nailed the iron drill to the ground beside the hole.
When he was in the United States, Cheng Yu also went rock climbing with his classmates. Although it was indoors, he learned the most basic knowledge of mountaineering. For example, how to tie knots and how to ensure your own safety.
He quickly tied a sailor's knot, put the climbing rope on the iron drill, and then tested its strength, and then hung the climbing rope around his waist and armpits with confidence.
Grasping the climbing rope with both hands, Cheng Yu jumped down from the hole. He tightened his wrist and grabbed the climbing rope, and his body stopped in mid-air.
Stretching his feet forward, Cheng Yu easily stepped on the cave wall, and then it became easy. Just like this, he relaxed and tightened, Cheng Yu kept stepping on the cave wall, and his body fell quickly.
It seemed that the visual distance was relatively reliable. After descending about five meters, Cheng Yu felt the ground below while wandering.
Standing firmly on the ground with both feet, Cheng Yu turned on the flashlight and looked around. There were earth walls on three sides, but they had obviously been compacted. Even after four hundred years, the earth walls had not peeled off, but were covered with weeds.
Dark and tide-resistant moss. As for the only direction with a road, Cheng Yu relied on his own sense of direction to think that
That was heading towards the entrance of the culvert.
Therefore, there is a high probability that the secret room where the treasure is hidden is actually right below the entrance of the culvert.
Cheng Yu untied his climbing rope, held a flashlight, and walked towards the only road in the cave.
The road is not wide, only about one meter, and the height is about just over two meters. Cheng Yu can reach out and touch the top of the wall.
After walking only about ten meters, Cheng Yu saw a wooden door. The wooden door was closed, but Cheng Yu knew that he had finally arrived.
Stepping forward quickly, Cheng Yu gently touched the wooden door. The wooden door was already damp and rotten, and it had a soft touch when pressed on it. He tried to push the wooden door, but it seemed that the wooden door could not withstand the gentle force. After two creaks, it
, unexpectedly fell directly backwards. When it landed on the ground, it immediately fell apart. It didn’t make a particularly loud noise. It shouldn’t have happened.
It will be transmitted through the soil layer above.
Although the door opened, Cheng Yu was still very careful not to walk in immediately. He was worried that Ji Qishan might have set up some mechanism at the door. Although the possibility was low, Ji Qishan was not a skilled craftsman after all.
In the past, their group of people had to build houses, reclaim wasteland, and build such a basement here. It was already a huge project. In ancient times, machines and institutions were all classified knowledge.
It is not something that some Yao people who have fought for several days can master. And even if there is a mechanism, even the door has decayed after four hundred years.
Even if there is a mechanism, I am afraid that it will have rotted and rusted long ago, and it will be difficult for it to play its original role. But he is still very careful not to make any mistakes. This is the last step, but it is best not to cause any new problems.
Turning on the flashlight, Cheng Yu stood outside the door and looked in. No matter what, a feeling of disappointment still vaguely rose in his heart. Cheng Yu saw that there was a man four to five meters tall, wide and vertical.
The huge basement is almost ten meters long, but it is empty.
There is nothing, not to mention treasures, not even boxes, cabinets or desks containing treasures.
Even though he didn't really care about those treasures from the bottom of his heart, Cheng Yu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he found that there was nothing here.
He stretched out a foot and stepped on the ground inside the door, stepping back and forth. It seemed that there was no mechanism or anything to trigger. Moreover, under the beam of Cheng Yu's flashlight, he
I didn’t see anything that looked like a mechanism on the walls in the basement. The earth walls were so flat that there were no holes, and there were no underground palaces like those seen in TV movies.
In this way, there are various patterns carved on the walls, which almost means that there are no dangerous mechanisms here.
After inquiring and understanding, Cheng Yu stepped in.
When he stood in the center of the square basement, his only emotion was that it was really not easy for Ji Qishan back then. He dug a culvert leading to the underground river, but dug another passage in the middle, in the opposite direction.
We turned back here and dug such a large basement under the culvert. What a huge project it was, even with modern machinery.
It would be impossible to complete it even if we help each other in less than a year. I really don’t know how long it took Ji Qishan to create such a big movement in the ground. Excavation bit by bit, compaction everywhere, and baskets after baskets.
The excavated soil must be transported out without affecting their normal lives, so only a small number of manpower is destined to carry out the vast underground work.
This project was completely accumulated over time. It took many days and nights to finally complete such a miraculous basement.
But there was nothing in the basement, which seemed unreasonable.
Cheng Yu walked towards an earth wall and observed it carefully with a flashlight. When he saw the third earth wall, Cheng Yu finally saw some differences.
There were many tiny holes on the earth wall, less than the thickness of a little finger. Cheng Yu shone a flashlight into the holes to see that they were nearly two inches deep. Moreover, he found that these holes were arranged neatly, from top to bottom.
There are six rows in total, and the spacing between each row is almost equal, about one foot. And horizontally, there are holes about half a foot apart. These holes
, obviously all caused by man. After some gestures, Cheng Yu probably understood that this should be a place for hanging something. Those holes should be left after pushing in things like iron brazing wedges.
Traces, like modern people on the wall
Just like driving nails, they are used to hang picture frames and the like. But what exactly Ji Qishan and his tribe hang here is unknown. Maybe it is a portrait, maybe it is a spiritual tablet, or maybe it is simply something
There are horizontal boards, which are used to place certain things, and these certain things may be those treasures, or they may be their dead relatives.
Human souls. Now that everything has disappeared, it is impossible for anyone to know what was placed on this earth wall. Other than that, there is nothing special about this basement, but let Cheng
What surprised Yu was that he had been underground for such a long time, but he had never felt any feeling of stuffiness. It was normal to be in a culvert. The flowing water would undoubtedly bring the air, and it would also flow in to ensure that the culvert
The air inside will not be exhausted. But after turning into the tunnel dug by Ji Qushan and his tribe and the basement here, there will no longer be water to help carry him.
It's time to move the air. Although Cheng Yu is alone and can't consume too much air, he will still feel a little uncomfortable if there is no fresh air supply.
But Cheng Yu didn't feel this way here, and he didn't know whether it was because Ji Qishan had left an eye or something, or because the special terrain here meant that there was no lack of air in the not-too-deep underground.
Of course, Cheng Yu had no intention of exploring this matter. He just went back and forth and carefully checked the basement. Except for the hole in the earth wall, he really found nothing.
Cheng Yu even carefully searched the ground. He wondered whether Ji Qishan had dug another basement in this basement to store the treasures, but he couldn't find anything. Perhaps, this is just a basement.
The place where the clan members’ spiritual tablets are stored, or where the treasures given by Zhu Youtang were once hidden, but were later taken away by Ji Qushan’s descendants, or simply sold out. After all,
For four hundred years, the people of the Ji clan also need to survive. I am not too disappointed. Originally, the treasure hunt was just to add to the success. It would be great if I could find it. There is nothing to be disappointed if I don't find it. If those treasures are really there, Cheng
Yu still has to worry about how to transport things back to the country.
