Chapter 1351: Secrets Relating to Napoleon

The eye passes through the corner between the street and the wall, through the solid ground and the thick layer of soil, and obliquely penetrates into the basement of the building, where the situation inside is clearly visible.

Like this old building, this basement was built hundreds of years ago, and it is also very old, with an old layout and a small space!

Compared with the buildings above, this basement should not have been remodeled and renovated many times, and in some places you can still see exposed rocks, which is quite quaint.

The current owner has divided the basement and converted it into a storage room and a wine cellar, where some miscellaneous items are piled up, and the wine cellar is stocked with some French red wines and other liquors.

At first glance, there is nothing surprising about this basement, nor is there any eye-catching antique art, just an old basement.

Within the scope of perspective, Ye Tian quickly glanced at the several rooms in the basement that were divided and facing the street, and there was nothing surprising to find.

There are no hidden grids or traps on the ancient granite walls of the basement, so you can't find anything!

Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian looked at the ground paved with stones and blue bricks in the basement to see if there was any secret hidden deep underground!

It was only two or three meters away from Ye Tian's feet, and there were several storage rooms on the street, and Ye Tian didn't find anything like a secret passage or a secret grid.

All he could see was an old stone sewer, about a meter below the ground of several storage rooms.

After hundreds of years, this stone sewer has long been abandoned, almost clogged with all kinds of garbage, and there are traces of rats crawling everywhere!

The current water and sewerage system of this old building is supposed to have been remodeled in recent decades, replacing the old stone pipes with metal pipes and PVC pipes.

Nowadays, these metal pipes and PVC pipes are closer to the ground, which is easier to maintain, and some of the pipes can be seen in the basement, which looks a little out of harmony!

After exploring several storage rooms facing the street, Ye Tian's gaze continued to extend forward, looked at the wine cellar located directly below the living room on the first floor, and began to explore the situation deep underneath the wine cellar.

The floor of the wine cellar is all paved with granite strips, and the size of each stone is not small, the shortest is more than a meter long, between 50 and 80 centimeters wide, and weighs hundreds of kilograms.

Ye Tian's line of sight easily penetrated those granite stones, and he had a full view of the situation under the stones!

The hard rocks, the black-brown soil, and the various creatures that lived in the dirt, such as earthworms and the like, Ye Tian saw only these at first.

But when he looked out over the south wall of the cellar and through the granite bars beneath the solid wood shelf, he saw a scene that made him ecstatic!

Clinging to the wall, under two granite strips weighing hundreds of kilograms, a rusty iron gate covered with thick earth appeared.

Beneath the iron door was a dark hole, moss-covered steps leading deep into the ground.

Seeing this scene, the ecstatic Ye Tian almost cheered!

I finally found it, and it was not in vain that the buddies worked hard to perform for so long!

There is a secret hidden here, but I don't know what it is, is it a secret about the French Revolution, or is it a great treasure, or is it empty, just an empty joy?

Ye Tian, who had been tested for a long time, quickly stabilized his emotions and did not show even the slightest abnormality!

After a moment's pause, his gaze immediately extended down the hole and began to probe the secrets hidden deep underground, with great anticipation!

But unfortunately, the line of sight was blocked in the darkness for less than ten meters.

In front of the line of sight is an arc curve, what is hidden behind the curve, it is unknown, it would be nice if the line of sight could turn a corner, but that is just wishful thinking!

As for the granite wall in front of his line of sight, Ye Tian couldn't see through it, this was already the limit of his perspective range, and his line of sight could no longer move forward!

Even so, what he saw through that secret passage was enough to make him ecstatic!

In the granite passageway, every two meters there are bronze candlesticks in the Rococo style with elaborate ornamentation, which are placed in niches carved out of the walls on either side.

The bronze candlesticks all radiate a dazzling red glow, and there are eight or nine layers of enchanting light wrapped around them, each of which is a valuable antique art!

From the strength of those red rays and the inscription marks engraved on the bronze candlesticks, Ye Tian instantly came to an extremely accurate judgment.

All the bronze candlesticks in the secret passages were made in the early 19th century by Napoleon's royal craftsmen, and each bronze candlestick bears the logo of the craftsman's workshop!

Seeing this, the answer is already coming out, this dark secret passage is likely to lead to the treasure house that Napoleon used to hide some great secret!

Even if this is not the secret vault that Napoleon used to hide secrets, it must be inextricably linked to him, and it is definitely a major discovery that shocked the world!

Although those bronze candlesticks are from the Napoleonic era, through the ancient carvings on the walls of the secret passage, Ye Tian understands that this secret passage was not built in the early 19th century!

A more accurate proof comes from an alcove at the bend in front of the passage.

In that niche was a statue of the Virgin carved out of granite, thirty or forty centimeters high, radiating a dazzling yellow light.

The dazzling yellow light accurately reveals the age of the birth of this secret passage, and also shows the extraordinary value of the stone statue of the Virgin!

Like the old Renaissance building above, this passage was built in the mid-to-late 15th century and is five or six hundred years old!

In addition, through the direction of the secret passage, Ye Tian also judged that the place where the secret passage led was the atrium garden of this ancient building!

In other words, the great secret closely related to Napoleon is hidden deep underground in the atrium garden of this ancient building!

In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian had already grasped the general situation in that dark secret passage, and he was even more determined to take down this ancient building, no matter the cost!

Next, he quickly looked through the ground of the other rooms in the basement, and as long as it was within the scope of perspective, he didn't let it go!

The basement of the remaining rooms is full of hard rock and black-brown dirt, and there is nothing surprising to find!

Those areas that are outside the perspective range cannot be explored for the time being, and only by finding a way to enter this ancient building can you find out what is hidden beneath those areas!

In just ten seconds, Ye Tian thoroughly searched the places he could find, and did not let go of any corner.

Then, he withdrew his gaze and ended the perspective!

Next, he continued to pretend to explain to Betty and the others, and carefully admired the ancient building, and no one saw anything unusual!

After a minute or two, the explanation is over!

Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian pointed to the ancient building next to him and said expectantly:

"I was very interested in this early Renaissance building, it was so rare that I wanted to go inside and see the interior of this old building and get a more complete picture.

Why don't we knock on the door and see if the owner of this old building is at home? See if the owner can allow us to go in and have a good look? If so, that's great!"

"That's a very good idea, Steven, but let me knock on the door, your face is so famous in Paris right now!

If you come forward and knock on the door, it is estimated that no one will open the door for you, and they may even be frightened, and then call the police directly and let the police drive us away!"

Anderson joked and strode through the gates of the old building.

"Hahaha"

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and everyone laughed.
