Chapter 348: Blindfolding
When Alan instructed everyone to open the entrance to the basement, Chen Xu knew that the basement of this ancient temple was not very difficult to find, and its location was impressively under the stairwell on the second floor. ΔΔ『.M
It's just that no one has gone down for decades, and the monks in the temple have piled up a lot of sundries under the stairwell, which is a typical dark lamp, and if you don't deliberately move the sundries, you can't easily see the existence of the entrance.
The biggest trouble in the underground chamber is that it is not well ventilated, and it is closed all year round, and if the air is not renewed after the initial opening, it can easily lead to poisoning. To open the chamber normally, you need to use a blower to send air underground, and then enter the room at least two or three days later.
However, Chen Xu and the others don't have to worry about this problem if they have gas masks, as soon as the wooden board at the entrance is lifted, a few glow sticks are thrown down, and now there is only one staircase down, and there is no trap, after sending a brave soldier to enter the exploration to confirm safety, Chen Xu and others also followed one after another.
"Chen, this place is like the corridor of a hotel, these doors are like hotel rooms, there are six secret rooms, we are rich!" Alan stepped down and was convinced that this was the real treasure room of the Kerala royal family.
The basement is an underground tunnel three meters wide and two meters high and about thirty meters deep, but there are gates every ten meters on both sides of the tunnel, a total of six rooms, if each room is filled with gold and jewels as expected, then the wealth of this ancient temple can really be used to buy a country.
"Young master, come here! This room is probably the largest and most important room here! Singh, a Sikh who had never opened his mouth before, carried a camping lamp and studied it carefully at the doorway of a secret room not far from the entrance, and said in very magnetic English with a London accent.
"From where?" Alan hurriedly leaned up, and now this is a double-opened, two-meter-wide iron door, covered with copper skin to prevent rust.
The six doors of the chamber are made of different materials, some are made of stone, some are made of wood, and more are made of copper, and secondly, iron. However, in ancient times, copper and iron were precious things, and being able to cast a whole door with this metal shows that the owner of this secret room has considerable financial resources, and the things in the secret room will be more abundant.
"Here's the difference! cobras? In our Indian legends, Shiva is not only the human embodiment of the three main gods, but also a powerful guardian, and anyone who dares to open this door without permission will be cursed and will incur great calamity. Singh pointed to the hideous cobra motif and explained to Alan in detail what it meant to be carved into the door.
"It was heard that the royal family of Travangol in Kerala had a special penchant for gold, so his subjects were also keen to offer the money they had earned to the king. And this royal family has ruled Kerala for thousands of years, and there will be a few thrifty rulers, who feel that these treasures are the source of trouble that disturbs people's minds, so they gather them together and send them to the temple and bury them in the ground. Chen Xu also walked over and stroked the uneven cobra icon with his hand, and said angrily while wearing a gas mask urn.
Chen Xu remembered that the Indian government had obtained nearly 100 million yuan of gold jewelry just by opening the No. 1 secret room, including gold, diamonds, gemstones, and jadeite, which were all very valuable treasures.
And this secret room with a cobra pattern is room 2, when the government officials wanted to break the iron door, but the believers of the ancient temple resolutely opposed, thinking that it would bring disaster to Kerala, this icon is the ancient king Travangol specially warned future generations, do not open the door easily!
And the royal family of Travangol also suffered a big loss, and the treasure actually slipped away from his eyes, and he was extremely remorseful, so he did everything possible to prevent the government from opening a second secret room. In this way, whether the second secret room was opened or not, it has never been reported again, and it is believed that even the royal family of Travangol is afraid of the warnings of their ancestors, and does not dare to easily open this second secret room, which is expected to contain more treasures than the first secret room.
"Shall we open this chamber then? What if there are really some monsters suppressed inside! Alan swallowed his saliva, this guy has lived in a life of bullets and bullets all year round, and he is more faithful to God, so he is a little uneasy in his heart.
"No matter how powerful the monster is, we have guns and artillery to die, what are you afraid of!" Chen Xu is a firm red warrior, he is not afraid of these bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods at all, and besides, the thief is not empty, this time he will naturally dig out all the secret rooms and leave no one behind.
"Alright! Anyway, I didn't take these treasures, presumably these ancestors of Ah San wanted to find someone to settle accounts, and they were also wronged and debtors, and I can't blame them. Alan swallowed, he had been in India for a long time, and he was somewhat affected, and he was really afraid that these historical legends would come true.
"This iron door can't be chiseled, let alone toss for hours, and someone will come and blow the door open for me with explosives." Alan got off his watch, and suddenly remembered that this incident was serious, so he ordered his subordinates to quickly blast the six rooms and blow the doors open.
After installing explosives on the doors of the six secret rooms, all the people withdrew from the basement, and Alan himself secretly pressed the button to detonate, and the ancient temple shook violently, and the dust on the beams fell downward, and the dust mixed with smoke sprayed out from the entrance of the basement, and the entire ancient temple was filled with thick smoke and dust.
After the smoke and dust dissipated a little, Chen Xu waved his hand, and more than a dozen heavily armed soldiers wearing gas masks rushed into the basement, and the two soldiers at the head were carrying flamethrowers!
Chen Xushao is a movie like this, but whenever the ancient tomb or secret room is opened, a large group of man-eating mosquitoes, poisonous snakes, scorpions, etc. will always rush out, in short, it is very infiltrating.
And preparing the flamethrower in advance is to guard against these guys, in short, no matter what poison, you have to obediently retreat under the scorching flames.
"Chief! All the secret rooms have been searched, and there are no anomalies! A soldier stood in the basement and reported to Chen Xu and others at the entrance.
"Haha...... Isn't there a lot of treasure, and are your eyes blinded? Alan asked excitedly.
"Report long, all the secret rooms are empty, only a small number of chests are in them, and there is not a large amount of gold and jewelry!" The soldiers below hesitated for a moment before they stumbled.
"Empty!" Alan exclaimed, then climbed down the stairs with his hands and feet, and walked to the door of the No. 1 secret room, only to see that the original stone door had been blown away, and it was empty, only a few large stones were scattered in the room, and there was no treasure at all.
And when I turned to the secret room, it was better than the first secret room, and there were still a few treasure chests placed in the corner, as if they were laughing at the greedy people.
"Grass! It's really empty, it's a lot of work! Allen's face was full of unwillingness, and he could only face the reality helplessly after checking back and forth in the six secret rooms.
"Alan, don't be impatient, if these secret rooms are opened and the doors are full of gold, silver and jewelry, then it will be a ghost! The real treasure room must definitely set up layers of tricks, in short, to deceive the thieves and make them return in vain. These six secret rooms are the treasure hiding places of the Travangol royal family for thousands of years, if one of them is empty, it is understandable, but all the secret rooms are empty, then it is completely proved that there are indeed great treasures here, but they are all hidden and have not been revealed. Chen Xu was very calm, because he knew that among the stones in the No. 1 secret room, there was a secret tunnel entrance underneath.
"Young Master Allen, Director Chen is right! This is underground, so there will definitely be hidden secret doors under the walls and floors of these chambers that lead to deeper chambers, a common trick used by the great Indian aristocracy to hide the real treasure with a fake chamber. Some secret rooms even have two or three layers on top of each other, and sometimes you have treasure on the second floor, which is actually a cover for the third secret room! "Singh himself is an Indian, in Britain familiar with the history of the Indian Peninsula, the Indian royal nobles are very clear about the means of hiding treasures, the British colonized the Indian Peninsula years, but there are many battles with these native nobles, from their mouths out of a lot of treasures, it is said that the British royal storeroom, half of the valuables are looted from India.
India is the most precious jewel in the crown of the British Empire, this is not an empty statement, the huge India is like an inexhaustible gold mine, as long as you are willing to look for it, you can always dig up treasures.
"What are you still doing! Once we have found out the secret room, we only have two hours left, and during the day we will stay in this temple not only to face the crazy believers, but also to compete with the KGB agents who rushed over after hearing the news, so we have no time to waste time here. ”
Time was so tight that five or six soldiers were banging on the walls or floors in the six chambers to find a mechanism to open the door.
"These stones must not be placed in this secret room to move them away!" Chen Xu didn't dare to show off his foresight, and together with the soldiers, he moved the big stones placed in the No. 1 secret room one by one.
When the second stone was removed, there was finally a secret passage that only allowed one person to enter and exit, and in the light of the light, this secret passage was a narrow passage half a meter wide and two meters high, but I don't know how deep it was.
"Haha! Behind the secret passage must be the real treasure room, I'll go down first and you follow me! Chen Xu knew that there was no danger in this secret passage, but it was indeed very scary when it was pitch black, so he asked the soldiers to follow behind him to give him courage, he didn't dare to go in alone!
