After winding up the line, Xiao Kereng had recovered from the shock and looked at the four inspection workers who had no choice but to stop work, and if he had some enlightenment: "Mr. Feng, eight million pounds to buy two favors, is this account worth it? I
A little bit... I don’t understand, this is the artistic conception of the ancient people’s saying that a thousand dollars can’t buy a smile? In order to win a beautiful woman’s smile, do men spend a lot of money without changing their expressions?”
She doesn't understand the mysteries of that guqin, and I don't want to bother explaining. I just want Tengjia's soul to have a free place to live.
I pointed to the main building and changed the topic: "Xiao Xiao, it seems that our detection failed again."
The four workers received the banknotes from Xiao Kereng's hand, but we got nothing, except a long list of "no"s in the white report form. There was no interlayer, no unknown magnetism, and no metal mechanism. We imagined
I didn't see anything that should have appeared.
This was a bad start. After a brief discussion with Xiao Kereng, I ordered the workers to relax and speed up the dismantling work. If it was completed within three hours, the wages would be doubled.
Under the temptation of money, the foreman who led the team bought lunch boxes. The workers were divided into two groups and took turns eating, without slowing down the progress at all.
The down-to-earth and hard-working style of Japanese workers impressed me a lot. They are the people at the bottom of this commercial society, but they never complain about others or give up on themselves. Instead, they work hard and get paid in a way they can accept. World War II
It is indeed an incredible business myth that the devastated Japanese cities can become one of the "Four Asian Tigers" in just 40 years.
Perhaps this almost dull "ant chewing bones" spirit is what smart Americans fear the most.
If there had been no "Sino-Japanese War" and "Nanjing Massacre", we might be able to be like the Chinese during the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, open our hearts to accept this small neighbor in a strip of water, and place all the islanders under the protection of China's broad wings. However,
, now this has become an unimaginable myth.
Seeing that the walls had turned into piles of construction debris, Xiao Kereng's mood continued to be depressed and he had no desire to eat. He had asked me the same question more than ten times: "Mr. Feng, what do you expect us to get?"
In fact, the answer is already written in her eyes: "A pile of garbage, a lot of garbage."
If this is a wrong decision, I am willing to bear all the infamy. The picture of the "Nine Palaces and Bagua Bird Killing Formation" is still on the coffee table, with a cup pressed on each corner. The layout proportions of the formation can be found in many ancient Feng Shui books.
Now, Xiao Kereng and I both know it well. She has already contacted another company specializing in water conservancy projects by phone, and will be stationed in the villa tonight or tomorrow to carry out the construction of water canals.
Tycoon and Xiaoyan did not appear again. They were probably at the Water Mist Villa, always paying attention to the direction of the US$1.5 billion.
At exactly two o'clock in the afternoon, the workers completed their task twenty minutes early and cleared the foundation of the main building.
It is much easier to dismantle a villa than to build it. When I stood on the flat foundation of the main building, my heart was suddenly filled with inexplicable sadness. Maybe my eldest brother was standing on the empty wasteland like this, planning to build a villa, alone -
- No, maybe there are twin sisters beside him, "Lan Yao, Lan Ji" whom Scalpel once said. What is he looking for? Traveling across the earth and visiting ancient tombs all over the world is not just for money and treasures.
Simple.
The workers were sitting in twos and threes on the withered yellow grass. A few of them were curious and kept looking up. The people on the watchtower had not received the evacuation order yet, so they were leaning on the railings boredly, chatting and whistling. Xiao
Ke Leng was sitting silently in the water pavilion. Under this situation, she must be full of frustration just like me.
Next, I should dig the foundation and build the "Nine Palaces and Bagua Bird Killing Formation" to fulfill Guan Baoling's long-cherished wish. Almost all the unusual events during the entire trip to Hokkaido revolved around Guan Baoling. If she hadn't intruded rashly
The gate, there would be no direct conflict between me and the Japanese; without her disappearance in the middle of the night, there would be no ninja raids and the intervention of the Sharpshooter Association... Too many "ifs" are related to her. Until now, the demolition
Building canals.
"Am I wrong?" I walked around on the foundation for almost an hour, and finally stopped at the original location of the bathroom. Guan Baoling's mysterious disappearance began here. Up to now, I clearly remember what that incident brought to me.
A huge shock that will never be forgotten.
"Gulu, Gulu..."
I heard some strange sounds in my ears, and I immediately raised my head and looked around. I had been meditating for too long, and my brain felt a little numb and almost stopped functioning.
"Grrrrrr..." The sound sounded right under my feet, and I subconsciously jumped back, like a sleepy traveler in the desert who accidentally stepped on the tail of a rattlesnake.
"Mr. Feng——" Xiao Kereng called to me from a distance, probably sensing something strange about me.
I raised my head and glanced at the setting sun, and a familiar, mysterious and terrifying feeling crept over me, because I heard the sound of bubbling water again. There was no doubt that this sound was what I heard when I first arrived at Xunfu Garden.
, along with it will be the mysterious disappearance of Guan Baoling.
Xiao Kereng ran over quickly and stood beside me: "Mr. Feng, you look very bad. What's wrong?"
I tried my best to suppress my excitement: "Xiao Xiao, I heard the sound of water bubbles, it came from underground." Intuitively, the sound of water bubbles came from the ground one meter away in front of me, but there was only a large piece of incomplete concrete floor there. The workers had already
After removing the debris and dust, the gray-black concrete will be clean, with no gaps or holes on the surface.
Xiao Kereng leaned over and took a look, shaking his head helplessly: "Is it an illusion? It seems that this place is completely normal."
The sound of bubbles continued, but it seemed that she knew nothing and couldn't hear anything. I picked my ears hard twice, and the gurgling sound coming from the deep water reminded me of the "Psychic Well"
The rising white bubbles that constitute an oracle - "Is there also an infinitely deep strange well under this villa?"
"Xiao Xiao, I want the workers to dig down. I want to know what's buried underground, quickly!" I yelled stubbornly, believing that my intuition was right.
As long as they can make money, the workers don't care what they do. Digging soil and digging pits is their specialty. Half an hour later, a large pit with a diameter of two meters and a depth of one and a half meters appeared in front of me.
Behind the concrete floor is ordinary black soil, which is no different from the soil in the fertile wilderness of Hokkaido.
I jumped into the pit, knelt on the ground, and put my ears to the earthy-smelling soil. The sound of bubbling water came from below, far and near, and I felt like they were rising continuously from the deep water bottom.
"Just down there, keep digging, keep digging—"
The workers looked at each other and seemed to think I was crazy.
Xiao Ke smiled bitterly, wordlessly taking out a stack of banknotes and shaking them in the air. They were more effective than any slogan, and the workers immediately continued digging with enthusiasm. Finally, when the depth of the pit reached three meters,
One of the workers' shovel made a crisp sound, which was the sound of the iron tool hitting the iron plate.
Everyone was refreshed and moved faster. Soon, a dark iron plate appeared at the bottom of the pit. It made a clanging sound when knocked, but the edge of the iron plate was buried in the soil. It should be very large and the thickness should be at least ten centimeters.
.
I jumped down into the pit impatiently, took the shovel, and kept banging on the iron plate. Then I raised my head and shouted to Xiao Ke coldly: "Xiao Xiao, arrange for a light excavator to come over immediately. I suspect
This iron plate is at least fifty centimeters thick and extends over fifteen meters square." Professional knowledge told me that there is a space covered under the iron plate, which is the real secret of Xunfuyuan Villa.
Before Xiao Kereng could make a call, I ordered again: "Bring the radiographic inspection vehicle over. I want to see what's hidden underneath."
The workers who dug the soil exited, and a testing worker named "Xinshan" jumped down, holding a gray testing rod in his hand, his face full of surprise and curiosity. According to common sense, the farthest distance of radiation detection can be penetrated
It is about fifteen meters underground. When the power of the ray generator is adjusted to the limit, it can detect metal materials within forty meters below the ground.
Therefore, I understand Xinshan's consternation. Their machine should have discovered the existence of this iron plate long ago.
He pressed the red button on the handle of the detection wand, and an LCD window next to the button lit up immediately. A set of Arabic numerals kept changing, but always hovering between zero and five.
His astonishment grew more and more, and in the end he couldn't help shouting in a low voice: "Isn't it possible? There was a large metal plate in front of him, but the detection meter showed that no metal elements were found. Could it be that this iron plate is sensitive to radiation?
Absorption equals zero?”
The people on the top of the pit were watching the two of us nervously. After twenty minutes of detection, Xinshan stopped further movements in surprise and stared at me: "Mr. Feng, the machine is intact, I just
It can be said that the ray cannot identify the metal plate because it cannot change the speed and attenuation of the ray at all. Therefore, the machine cannot sense its existence and cannot know what is behind the iron plate. It is like a
Block the wall and block our detection route."
The situation he mentioned should only occur when the ray encounters a lead plate with a thickness of more than ten centimeters, but the piece under your feet cannot be said to be a lead plate in any case.
"I have been working in the industry for more than four years, and this is the first time I have encountered this situation. Even if it is a lead plate, it should show that the rays are shielded or absorbed by it, and at least one of the other yellow and red lights will light up, but now
There's nothing." Xinshan squatted down, took out a sharp knife, and scraped it on the iron plate a few times, making a strange "crunching" sound.
He raised his face again and smiled bitterly: "Did you see it? A special catalyst was added to the blade of this knife during forging. It is so sharp that it can be freely carved on a copper plate. No matter how high-quality steel is, it should leave scratches.
That’s right, but you can’t see anything now. I dare say that this is an extremely rare metal plate. Mr. Feng, this discovery is enough to make you famous all over the world.”
Sure enough, after he scratched it hard for more than a dozen times, the iron plate did not leave even the slightest scratch. This is like the sapphire dial of a Swiss watch, which will not wear out for a lifetime.
Xinshan and I returned to the ground, and a wheeled excavator had already driven in. Everyone spread out backwards. The excavation speed of the machine will be ten times that of the workers. Soon we will be able to dig out the iron plate and let
It has seen the light of day again.
"Is it empty under the iron plate?" Xiao Kereng's face was livid. She and Scalpel paid a high fee to detect the secrets under the villa. Now it seems that everything was in vain. It is not that there are no secrets under the villa, but the detection
The method is completely ineffective.
"Empty." Among the information I have read, there was a structural diagram of the villa drawn by a professional architect. Now that I think about it, the hall, bathroom and stairs of the main building form a square whole with a side length of nine meters.
The second floor above, including the bedroom, living room, study room, and stairs, is of course the same square, and can be seen as two identical nine-square grids.
"Mr. Feng, what do you think will be under the iron plate? A monster's lair or an underground treasure house?" With the mysterious incident of the fanged demon in front of him, Xiao Kereng couldn't help but talk about the tiger's discoloration. Human beings' fear and survival of the mysterious underground space
I always feel that is the most unstable factor.
I answered frankly: "I don't know, it's hard to imagine now, but with the excavator here, we can get the answer soon. According to my estimation, it may be equal to the projected area of the second floor."
Fortunately, the two cranes did not leave. According to my estimation, the weight of the iron plate must be extremely shocking, and the moving work must be completed by a crane.
The excavator dug out more and more earth. Every time the iron plate expanded half a meter in all directions, the workers would let out an indescribable exclamation. It was not until an hour later that they finally found its edge. The result was the same as I expected.
It is a nine-meter-square square that covers the location of the nine-square grid.
"A huge iron plate with a length of nine meters and a width of nine meters? It's unbelievable!" Xiao Kereng sighed, but the thickness of the iron plate of fifty centimeters made her expression change drastically again. There was such a big thing buried under the main building.
If the scalpel were still there, I'm afraid it would be overshadowed. I hate that my previous detection work was just trying to find a way to fish, and it would always run counter to the truth.
No one knew what was buried under the iron plate. The eyes of all the workers were burning with fanatical and greedy light, as if opening the iron plate would reveal a treasure house full of gold, silver, pearls and jade. Everyone looked eagerly into the water pavilion.
Xiao Kereng and I hope to issue the order to "move the iron plate" as soon as possible.
I poured out the remaining tea in the glass pot, warmed the pot and cup with hot water, and then put in a spoonful of the best Longjing tea.
"Mr. Feng, do you want to take off the iron plate now?" Xiao Kereng looked at my slow movements and couldn't help asking anxiously.
The water in the electric kettle boiled, making a strange "snoring" sound. I pressed the switch to let the water stop boiling and settle, and asked with a smile: "It has been silent under the main building for so many years, why bother to rush it?"
Xiao, what do you think is below? Is it bad or good?"
The dark green tea leaves slowly stretch in the water, changing their colors like old trees blooming, or more like the newly blooming buds, with new changes every second. After pouring the water, the second
After pouring boiling water for the first time, my mood is like this pot of good tea, calm and peaceful, calm and calm.
I also hope that I can see the secret under the iron plate earlier. Everyone has curiosity, but once the mystery is revealed, it is difficult to predict whether it will be good or bad, so you really need to be cautious.
"Mr. Feng, do you want to mobilize some more people from the Sharpshooter Club to make preparations?" Xiao Kereng held the walkie-talkie in his hand. If there is some kind of monster hidden down there, he should really prepare a group of heavy weapons to serve him. The problem is the iron plate
Buried in such a deep position, even if there are monsters, don't they need to crawl out to breathe? At this moment, Xiao Kereng's situation is in chaos. It is impossible to help me consider the overall situation. I can only rely on my own wisdom to decide the next step.
The action is right or wrong. Therefore, the calmer you make a decision, the more correct it is.
"Xiao Xiao, after drinking this cup of tea, let's go to the iron plate and have a look. Maybe it's empty underneath. The ancients also used the 'hole-in-the-ground' and 'air-castle' styles to build houses to eliminate certain defects in the ground structure.
I believe that the wisdom of Hero Yang Tian can be called 'unprecedented and unprecedented', and every decision he makes is very meaningful."
The blue-green tea in the glass was like a ball of warm jade, with an intoxicating aroma, but it did not arouse Xiao Kereng's interest at all. Her mind was all on the strange iron plate, and she could not relax for a while.
Come down. The gap between her and Su Lun is not the slightest bit. In almost every aspect of action, I can see her obvious shortcomings.
Considering the "big evil", could the eldest brother have built the sinister layout of "Nine-Headed Bird to Earn Life" to suppress something? First seal it with an iron plate, and then use something like the "Heaven-shaking Seal"
Building suppression will prevent that thing from turning over forever. If this is the case, we remove the iron plate, just like the fishermen in One Thousand and One Nights removed the iron plate.
