Passing through the place where Gu Fengyuan was originally imprisoned, as we continued walking down, it became increasingly quiet and dark, and even the light from the torches could not reach very far.
The stone stairs spiraled down, and Mu Yunhan felt like his head was spinning: "Are we going deep underground?"
Gu Fenglin smiled slightly: "Strictly speaking, it is not, because it is only in the middle of the mountain and above the horizon."
Mu Yunhan tightened his grip and praised: "How much manpower and material resources will be spent on this? Such a big project...do the people in the palace know?"
Gu Fenglin shook his head: "Of course I don't know, this place was supervised by our ancestors. His power at that time was completely different from ours now."
After all, he was the hero of the founding of the country, and he answered hundreds of calls, otherwise Taizu would not have been so worried when he was about to collapse.
As I walked, a relatively broad platform appeared in front of me, surrounded by fences.
Looking down from the top of the fence, you can see the dark area below, with occasional sparkling waves passing by, and light water vapor swirling up mixed with the mountain breeze.
Mu Yunhan knew what he was thinking: "Is there an underground river below?"
Gu Fenglin smiled and said: "Yes, there are boats prepared on the shore for easy access."
Mu Yunhan said: "Then the warehouse is not far away?"
Since a warehouse has been built, it is necessary to consider the convenience of transportation of materials in the warehouse.
The road up the mountain is full of stairs, and the spiral stone stairs inside are even more steep and narrow, making it inconvenient to transport things.
If there are waterways, they must be used to transport things.
Gu Fenglin nodded: "That's right."
He pushed and pushed on the stone wall next to the platform. The stone wall made a dull "creak" sound, and a secret door two people wide opened in response.
Inside is a thick cast iron door with three keyholes, which is quite different from the locks in the world.
Gu Fenglin took out three keys and inserted them, then turned the gear on the side back and forth several times. There was a slight "click" sound, and the cast iron door loosened a little.
Gu Fenglin turned the key and pushed open the cast iron door.
The long-lasting smell hit his face. He took off the torch on the wall and waved it inside a few times. A huge spider crawled into the darkness like lightning.
Mu Yunhan hid behind Gu Fenglin and looked in. He saw a huge warehouse with neatly arranged shelves and several boxes and cages. He didn't know what was inside.
Gu Fenglin led her inside and opened the boxes one by one to show her: "These contain money, these are medicinal materials, these are grain, these are cotton cloth, and these are daily sundries."
Against the wall, there are some jars containing oil, which can be used for lighting and food.
In fact, it is a place to store supplies. The things stored may not be very precious, but they can be used in emergencies at critical moments.
Mu Yunhan said: "Food and medicinal materials have a storage period, so how often do they need to be replaced?"
Gu Fenglin glanced at her appreciatively and said, "It is usually changed once a year. There is still water here."
He led her inside and saw several separate stone rooms deeper inside, all furnished with bedding and furnishings. One of the rooms was similar to a kitchen, with a stream of running water flowing down through the pipes.
"From now on, people should prepare dried meat and other items. We should also save some food."
Gu Fenglin said: "This place can accommodate hundreds of people to survive for more than a month."
