Chapter 1905 Underground Vault
In the only remaining underground chamber of the Chapel of St. Anna, Jason and Derek are scanning the floor and walls little by little with a pulsed metal detector, exploring the treasure.
Ye Tian and David, as well as the Bishop of Kent, stood in front of the wall on the north side of the chamber, observing the mysterious symbols unique to the Knights Templar carved into the walls.
As with previous explorations, they still can't decipher the meaning of those mysterious symbols, what they mean and what secrets they hide.
The mysterious symbol carved into the door of the vault found in the abandoned medieval castle of Larnaca and in the Château d'Arzhny in France has not been found here.
Standing in front of the wall and observing for a while, Ye Tian and the others didn't see the reason, everyone was still confused.
Of course, this does not include Ye Tian.
He knew better than anyone whether there was any treasure in this underground chamber, or whether the treasures of the famous Knights Templar were hidden here.
At this moment, the puzzled expression on his face was just a performance, just to cooperate with everyone and make everything look logical and flawless.
"David, Bishop Kent, let's go and look at the mysterious symbols on the wall next to us, maybe we can find something."
Ye Tian said with a smile, and was about to walk to the wall on the west side of the basement.
At this moment, several pleasant prompts suddenly sounded in the basement, which attracted everyone's attention at once.
Immediately after, Tommy's excited voice reached everyone's ears.
"Steven, come and see, we have detected a metal signal here, and the signal is relatively strong, and the burial depth is about one meter and a half"
Hearing this, Ye Tian and the others immediately turned their heads to look over, and walked quickly to Tommy's side.
Within three or two steps, they were up to Tommy's side and looked at the LCD in his hand.
After quickly scanning the data on the LCD twice, and groaning slightly, Ye Tian shook his head and said:
"This is not a treasure, it is about fifty or sixty centimeters long, and it is scattered in three places, and it looks like several ancient weapons, perhaps Roman daggers, or perhaps construction tools or agricultural tools.
Our goal is the Knights Templar treasures, and for us, these pre-medieval weapons or metal production tools have no value to excavate, so leave them to the Brits."
Hearing his analysis, everyone nodded slightly, somewhat disappointed.
After this little episode, everyone got back to work and continued to scan every floor and wall in the place.
Unfortunately, Jason scanned the place thoroughly with a pulsed metal detector and found nothing, and found nothing surprising.
On the walls and floors engraved with the mysterious symbols of the Knights Templar, Ye Tian and the others did not find anything, let alone find the treasures of the Knights Templar.
Soon, the underground chamber, built in the late twelfth century, was thoroughly searched by the joint exploration team, and nothing was found.
Then, Ye Tian took David and Bishop Kent, as well as Jason and them, out of this underground secret room.
As soon as they came out, Brown, who was waiting near the door of the secret room, walked up quickly and asked impatiently:
"Steven, Bishop Kent, have you found anything? Is there any treasure hidden in this underground chamber? Tell me about it?"
Not only him, but also the other Britons who rushed forward with him also looked at Ye Tian and them with great eagerness, expecting to hear the best answer.
Ye Tian glanced at these guys, then shook his head with a smile and said:
"There are many mysterious symbols left by the Knights Templar in this underground vault, but the Templar treasure is not in this underground vault, that's completely certain.
In the process of exploring, we scanned a few metal objects buried deep underground, which should be weapons from before the Middle Ages, and may have some value.
When this joint exploration is over and we leave, if you are interested, you can dig them out and experience the fun of treasure hunting."
After speaking, Ye Tian told the Britons in front of him the burial location of those ancient weapons.
Not surprisingly, these Brits all showed a look of intention on their faces, and they were all ready to move.
Next, Ye Tian and the others returned to the temple church.
On the way back, many media reporters gathered around the church, as well as the crowd watching the excitement, asked Ye Tian in a loud voice, asking them what they had found and whether they had found treasures.
Ye Tian didn't hide it, and told these guys who were full of expectations about the actual situation before entering the temple church.
After entering the church, the same scene played out again.
Prince William and his entourage also couldn't wait to ask about the results of the exploration, and Ye Tian also told the truth.
Like the others, after listening to Ye Tian's introduction, a trace of disappointment flashed on Prince William's face, and the British Minister of Culture was the same.
Next, Ye Tian and the others stayed on the first floor of the Temple Church for a while, and then began to explore the underground buildings of the Temple Church and continue to search for the treasures of the Templar Order.
In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour passed.
Ye Tian and the others came to an underground chapel again and continued to explore.
It is a basement made of marble and concrete, with an area of about one hundred and twenty or thirty square meters, which is very solid!
Soon after its completion, it was converted into a vault by the British branch of the Knights Templar, where it was used to store gold and silver treasures.
Due to its special purpose, it is a natural place to become the main target of the joint exploration team.
Once inside, everyone split up and Jason scanned the floor and walls with a pulsed metal detector, carefully exploring every corner.
As for Ye Tian and Bishop Kent, as before, they continued to study the mysterious symbols carved into the floor and walls to see if they could find something.
During this process, Ye Tian also kept hitting the floor and walls with the rubber hammer in his hand to see if there were any holes behind the floor and walls.
If there is a void, it is likely to be the entrance to a secret chamber or passage, or a wall or a secret compartment.
There is indeed a secret hidden here!
It didn't take a few minutes for Ye Tian's constant tapping on the floor and walls to pay off, and a slightly strange sound suddenly sounded in the basement.
The moment he heard this voice, a bright smile immediately bloomed on Ye Tian's face, but the others didn't know why, and they didn't hear the not-so-obvious difference.
Seeing this situation, Ye Tian didn't explain much.
He directly raised the rubber hammer and tapped the wall on the east side of the chamber a few more times, so that everyone could listen and distinguish the nuances for themselves.
As he moved, everyone finally heard the difference, and there was a burst of excited cheers in the basement, and everyone was extremely excited.
At this time, everyone has understood that there must be a secret space hidden behind this wall, whether it is a secret room, or a secret passage, or a sandwich wall and a secret grid, only by finding a way to open the wall can you know!
When the cheers fell, Ye Tian immediately began to study the piece of marble on the wall, looking for a way to open the secret space behind the wall.
It didn't take much effort for him to find a way to open that secret space, and he opened it very quickly.
Hidden behind that piece of marble was a small dark compartment.
It's a pity that there was nothing in that dark grid, it was empty, and everyone was disappointed!
From some of the scratches left in the dark grid, Ye Tian quickly determined that as early as the early eighteenth century, this hidden dark grid had been discovered and was no longer a secret!
What was originally hidden in this dark compartment has been taken first.
It is not known who the man who made the first move was, but it was probably a lawyer who had run the area in the early eighteenth century.
After that, no other discoveries were made, and the pulsed metal detector did not sound again.
Disappointed, the group then walked out of the underground vault and prepared to continue exploring another adjacent basement.
At this moment, Ye Tian suddenly said:
"Guys, you go explore this basement next door, and I'll go to the 'confessional cell' over there and see if I can find anything."
With that, he stepped out and walked alone to the 'confessional cell' not far away.
There was nothing strange about his actions, this kind of thing had happened many times before, and everyone had long been accustomed to it.
After Ye Tian left, David and Jason walked into the adjacent basement and continued to explore.
