Chapter 1907 The Secret Passage That Was Landfilled

As Jason and the others walked out of the temple church, constantly moving various equipment back and forth, there was a commotion almost everywhere inside and outside the temple church.

"Look at those guys, all of them are happy and industrious like a swarm of ants, I'm sure that Steven guy must have made a major discovery, maybe they've found the Templar treasure!"

"Wow! The rumors are true, God will always favor that bastard Steven, and this time is no exception, that bastard must have found something, otherwise he wouldn't have put up such a big battle"

In the midst of the ups and downs, everyone stared closely at Jason who came and went, and every pair of eyes was full of curiosity, envy, and even jealousy.

Not only the many media reporters and onlookers around the church, but also Prince William and his entourage, who were inside the temple church, were also very curious at this time, and wanted to know what Ye Tian and they had found.

It's a pity that no matter how much they ask and inquire, those bastards of the Brave Intrepid Discovery Company don't reveal the slightest information, and they don't even bother to talk to them.

The British Minister of Culture and the administrator of the Temple Church also wanted to go into the basement to see what was going on in the basement.

However, as soon as they reached the door of the basement, they were stopped by armed security guards with loaded guns and were not allowed to pass through at all.

Faced with this situation, these British could only suppress their strong curiosity and continue to stay in the church, suffering helplessly.

Soon, more than twenty minutes had passed.

The confessional prison cell, which was empty before, with only Ye Tian and the others, is now full of all kinds of exploration equipment, and even the corridor outside and the basement next door are also stacked with a lot of exploration equipment.

Once Jason and the others returned to the confessional cell and transported the last of their equipment to the basement, the next step of exploration began.

"Peter, you use the drill to knock off the concrete around these marble floors, be careful not to bump those marble floors, lest those Brits use this as an excuse to get into trouble"

Ye Tian stretched out his hand and pointed to the marble floors on the ground and issued an order to act.

"Okay, Steven, don't worry, I'll be careful"

Peter nodded in response, then picked up the electric rig and got to work.

The next moment, the confessional cell was filled with the sound of an electric drill rig spinning at high speed, followed by an even more piercing, scalp-numbing sound of burrowing.

However, when this voice was heard in Ye Tian's ears, it was extremely beautiful, like a heavenly sound.

The huge movement of the confessional cell naturally could not hide the ears of those Englishmen who stayed on the first floor of the church.

The fellows, without exception, all turned their heads to look in the direction from which the voice came, and their eyes were eager and curious.

Unfortunately, they could only look at the basement entrance and guess what was going on below, but they couldn't go down to find out.

In the blink of an eye, the concrete between and around the marble floors was broken and cleaned by the drilling rig, revealing several gaps of different widths.

Then, Ye Tian picked up the crowbar again, and then asked the rest of the people to dodge a little, preparing to pry up the marble floors that looked quite heavy by himself.

However, when he inserted a crowbar into the gap in the edge of one of the marble floors and pressed down with force, the marble floor only shook a little and was not pried up by him.

Seeing this situation, Ye Tian did not exert his strength again, and forcibly pried the heavy and abnormal marble floor, which would definitely damage the other marble floor that was used as a fulcrum next to it.

"As expected, this marble floor is very heavy, weighing at least 600 kilograms, and the thickness must be exaggerated, so in order to avoid damaging the marble floor next to it, you can only start from the surroundings"

As he spoke, Ye Tian pulled out the crowbar, then changed direction, inserted the crowbar into the gap, and began to pry the Poorbeck marble floor next to him.

This time it was much easier, and without much effort, the marble stone weighing about two hundred kilograms was pried up, and then it was lifted by Ye Tian to the vacant space next to it.

As this marble floor was lifted, everyone immediately saw that the marble floor that Ye Tian had originally pried was planted deep in the ground, which was much thicker than the Purbeck marble floor next to it.

"Hiss——!"

There was a gasp at the scene, and everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them.

"Sure enough, as you expected!Steven, these marble floors can't be called floors at all, and it seems more accurate to call them marble columns."

The Bishop of Kent said with emotion, a look of surprise.

"Now I'm even more sure that there must be a huge secret hidden under these marble floors, maybe a huge surprise"

Ye Tian said with a smile, looking confident.

Next, Ye Tian continued to pry up all the Purbeck marble floors around the boulders in the center of the cell.

As the marble floors were pried up, the boulders in the center of the confessional cell were suddenly isolated.

Without exception, the boulders were planted deep in the ground, as if they had grown out of the ground, much thicker and naturally heavier than the surrounding Purbeck marble floors.

Without the slightest pause, Ye Tian immediately withdrew to the side, and then said to the employees of the company under him:

"Guys, let's start digging, in pairs, take turns, change when you're tired, be careful when digging, don't get hurt"

"Okay, Steven"

Everyone responded in unison, and then began to dig.

Five or six minutes later, the boulders, or marble columns, that had been erected in the center of the cell were excavated.

As Ye Tian said before, these marble pillars were very heavy, each of them looked like they were more than 700 kilograms, and I didn't know how the Knights Templar had collected and transported them here in the first place.

After some amazement, everyone moved on to remove the marble pillars and explore the secrets hidden deeper underground.

This time, Ye Tian didn't do it himself, and moved these boulders alone, which would be too shocking and would inevitably attract a lot of attention.

Under his command, Jason and the others quickly assembled the modular hoisting equipment, and then lifted the heavy boulders all to the side.

Peter and Tommy then grabbed the sapper shovels and jumped into the pit they had just dug to continue digging.

It didn't take long for the confessional cell to change its appearance, not only was it filled with all kinds of exploration equipment, but also a few hills of mounds.

Even the hallway outside, and a basement next to it, had a few more small hills.

Soon, more than twenty minutes had passed.

The big pit in the center of the confessional cell had been dug deeper and deeper, and it was getting bigger and bigger.

The two company employees who were digging at the bottom of the pit no longer had their heads in sight, only buckets of dirt being hoisted up from the bottom of the pit and then transported to the basement next door.

"Bang"

Suddenly there was a crisp sound at the bottom of the pit, very loud.

Immediately after, Derek's excited voice came from the bottom of the pit.

"Steven, we've dug to the bottom, and there's a marble slab at the bottom of the pit."

Hearing this, everyone's faces immediately flashed with surprise, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, Ye Tian and Bishop Kent came to the edge of the pit and looked at the bottom of the pit.

As Derek said, a gray marble slab appeared at the bottom of the pit, right under Derek's feet, and it is unknown how big it is.

Ye Tian glanced at the situation at the bottom of the pit, and then said to the few people at the bottom of the pit:

"Derek, you guys clean the edge of this marble slab, and then you can come up, and I'll take care of the rest."

"Okay, Steven"

The two people at the bottom of the pit responded in unison, and then continued to dig, much more energetic than before.

Ye Tian and Bishop Kent, who were standing on the edge of the pit, took a few steps back and retreated to a safe area so as not to interfere with the ongoing excavation work.

After standing still, the Bishop of Kent immediately said in astonishment:

"Steven, this scene in front of us is too similar to what we encountered at Alzhny Castle, the Knights Templar's secret arsenal is also buried deep underground, sealed with a stone slab, and sealed with soil on top."

Ye Tian nodded lightly, then said with a smile:

"Yes, this scene is very familiar, but it is also normal, don't be surprised, don't forget that both the Château d'Arzhny in Lyon and the Templar Church once belonged to the Knights Templar.

Although the locations were different, they had the same way of hiding things, and it was the old Middle Ages, and the Knights Templar were a group of professional soldiers, so there were probably not many options to choose from.

And I guess that the situation under this marble slab is the same as what we encountered at the Alzhni Castle, and under the stone slab is a secret passage, and the exact location of this secret passage is unknown for the time being.

Obviously, this secret passage was deliberately filled in by the members of the Knights Templar, and as for why and when it was filled, as long as you open this secret passage, I believe you will find the answer,......"

As he spoke, Derek's voice came from the bottom of the pit again.

"Steven, this marble slab at the bottom of the pit, we've cleared it out"

Hearing the report, Ye Tian immediately stopped talking and said to the two guys at the bottom of the pit:

"You can come up, Derek, and I'll take care of the rest of the exploration."

Immediately afterward, he said to the others at the scene:

"Everyone put on protective suits and gas masks, just in case, and then it will be a moment to witness a miracle, hoping that there is a great surprise hidden under the marble slab at the bottom of the pit"

As he spoke, he took the hazmat suit and gas mask that had been placed next to him and began to put them on.

The rest of the people at the scene were the same, putting on full protective suits and gas masks.
