Chapter 2293: Open secret path
After cutting the granite floors with a water knife, Ye Tian did not immediately pry them up to see what secrets were hidden under the floor.
He carefully observed the granite floors, then stood up and said to everyone at the scene:
"Everyone, if my guess is correct, there are really secret passages that lead to the depths of the underground under these granite floors. If they are closed for a long time, there must be a lot of dirty, even poisonous gas accumulated inside.
For safety, it’s best to wear protective clothing, masks, gloves, and goggles to avoid accidents. The Pope and the Portuguese president and his wife outside the church need to be evacuated temporarily.
Wait for everyone to put on their protective equipment. Let's lift up these granite floors to see what is hidden under the floor. Is it the famous Templar treasure or some other invaluable treasure"
Hearing this, everyone at the scene nodded and no one raised objections.
Next, several brave men fearless exploration company employees took out the protective equipment they brought and distributed them to everyone one by one.
Outside the church, Matisse and Leonardo, who received instructions from Ye Tian, put on masks and goggles, and began to evacuate.
Their evacuation targets are mainly the Pope and the Portuguese president and his wife.
After listening to Leonardo’s explanation, the Pope and the Portuguese President did not raise any objections. They retreated a distance very cooperatively and stood beside a small garden inside the castle, waiting for the results of the exploration.
In a blink of an eye, everyone has put on protective equipment, and the atmosphere in the church has become tense.
Ye Tian took a quick glance at the scene and made sure that there was no problem before starting the next step.
"Jason, I'm going to pry open these granite floors. You kid be smart and listen to my orders. If I say to run, you don't care about anything, just rush out of this prayer room as soon as possible."
As he said, Ye Tian picked up the crowbar next to him, ready to do it.
"Understood, Steven, my good life has just begun, I haven't enjoyed enough yet, buddies don't want to die here, don't worry, buddies must escape quickly."
Jason joked and nodded vigorously.
"Hahaha, this is good, nothing is precious"
Ye Tian chuckled twice, and then inserted the thinner end of the crowbar in his hand into the gap between the two granite floors, deeply inserted.
Immediately afterwards, he held the crowbar's right hand and exerted force suddenly, and slowly pressed it down.
Following his movements, the granite floor, which was surprisingly thick and heavy, was pryed up a little bit.
Just when one side of the granite floor was about to leave the ground, Ye Tian paused in his hand and held the granite floor with a crowbar to prevent accidents.
However, there was no abnormal noise under the floor, and no crossbow arrows or javelins shot out. Nothing happened, and it was calm as usual.
After confirming the safety, Ye Tian continued to exert his strength and supported the bottom of the granite floor with his left hand and lifted it directly.
"boom!"
With a loud noise, this heavy and abnormal granite floor has been completely pryed up and turned over to the next floor.
Then appeared in front of Ye Tian's eyes. It was a compacted ground that was very strong and mixed with a lot of granite gravel, which looked almost like the concrete poured.
Seeing this scene, Ye Tian pretended to smile helplessly and said:
"We not only have to pry open these heavy and abnormal granite floors, it seems that we have to continue to cut the ground with a water jet, and then excavate to open the secret tunnel buried underneath.
But this is also normal. In my expectation, if the protection measures are not so strict, the entrance of this secret passage could not be hidden for more than 800 years, and it has not been discovered."
said, he inserted the crowbar into the gap between the other two granite floors, applied force again, and began to pry one of the granite floors.
In just two or three minutes, the granite floor in the center of the prayer room, which was carved with the mysterious symbols of the Knights Templar, was pryed up by Ye Tian and pushed aside.
With his movements, there was a big hole on the floor of the prayer room. It was one meter two to three meters wide and about 1.5 meters long, and the area was not small.
Next, he picked up the waterjet cutting gun again and started cutting the ground under the floor.
Waiting for him to cut the hard ground to pieces, it was Jason's turn with the engineer shovel and the others to start digging, digging out the gravel and soil in the pit.
Seven or eight minutes later, Mark, who was digging at the bottom of the pit, suddenly said with excitement:
"Steven, I dug to the end, there seems to be a large piece of granite underneath, and the engineer shovel can't be inserted."
Hearing this, Ye Tian and Jason immediately came to the edge of the pit and looked at the bottom of the pit.
At the same time, Mark also used an engineer shovel to scrape away the sand at the bottom of the pit, exposing the granite under the sand.
As Ye Tian had expected, it was a granite rock with a width of about 20 centimeters from above. The length is not known for the time being. It lies at the bottom of the pit and supports the building above.
Seeing this scene, Ye Tian immediately pretended to be excited and said:
"Well done, Mark, you cleaned all the sand out of the bottom of the pit. Under this granite rock, there is probably a dense tunnel leading to the deep underground."
"Okay, Steven, look at me"
Mark at the bottom of the pit nodded in response, and then started digging again, and was full of energy.
Soon, the bottom of the pit was cleared, Mark also came up from the bottom of the pit, and Ye Tian jumped into the bottom of the pit again and began to check the situation at the bottom of the pit.
In just a few moments, he finished checking, and a bright smile appeared on his face.
At the same time, the Bishop of Kent, David and the others, and the three Portuguese, seeing that there is no danger, they all entered the prayer room, came to the edge of the pit, and looked towards the bottom of the pit.
"Steven, what's the situation at the bottom of the pit? Have you found the entrance to the secret passage?"
Fr Ramirez asked probes, full of anticipation, but also a little worried, and he was very conflicted.
Ye Tian raised his head and looked up, and then said confidently:
" Gentlemen, Father Ramirez, please take a look at these granite slabs. They are basically the same length, and they are arranged side by side in a seamless manner. They are very abrupt here.
They are here to cover up something and bear the weight of the building above. The sand and gravel piled on top of these granite bars~www.wuxiaspot.com~ are some perfect cover.
I can say with certainty that under these granite stones, there is probably the entrance of the secret passage, leading to the deep underground, leading us to the palace deep underground."
When he said this, Ye Tian also pointed his finger at the granite stones at the bottom of the pit, and pointed out the condition of the edges of the granite stones.
At the edges of the granite bars with a length of about 1.5 meters and an overall width of 1.2 meters, they are compacted very strong sand and gravel ground and disorderly scattered granite stones.
Just as Ye Tian said, these granite slabs lying at the bottom of the pit do look very abrupt, and they are obviously placed here deliberately.
As long as you are not a fool, you will understand when you see this scene, there must be some secret hidden under the few granite stones, and it is a major secret.
"Wow! There really is a secret road here, I don't know what is hidden at the end of the secret road, treasure or something else?"
"I can't believe it, there is such a secret passage hidden deep underground in the Sarola Church, and no one has discovered it for more than 800 years. It is incredible!"
There was a cry of exclamation at the scene, and everyone was full of joy and expectation.
Before the exclamation sound fell, Ye Tian at the bottom of the pit had issued another command.
"Jason, Mark, you take the winch into the prayer house, assemble it on the edge of the pit, and then put down the sling and safety rope, and prepare to lift these granite stones to open the secret road hidden below"
As the order was issued, Jason and the others immediately took action.
