Chapter 4 Lotus Terrace
Going down from the entrance, a cool feeling hit instantly, this time it was replaced by Zhang Erhe in front, and Liu Yuan followed closely behind, looking back from time to time, but he had to shake his head and enter the hole.
A row of bluestone steps slowly descended, the space on the first floor is not much, if it is according to what Zhang Erhe said, they should be going from the top of the tower to the bottom of the tower at present, Zhang Erhe led the way in front of him carelessly, looking at the cautious appearance of Li Jian and the four of them was a little funny.
"I said, what about you? There's not even a lynx in this place, so look at you guys all nervous. Zhang Erhe walked in front, humming a little song from time to time, which seemed a little out of place in this empty tower.
Li Jian also knew that there was nothing dangerous in this tower, but after years of hard work, he realized that it was better to be cautious in everything, so he laughed twice at Zhang Erhe and continued to follow quietly.
The first floor is just a slightly larger circular building, seamless on all sides, and it looks like an entire stone wall has been excavated, which is indeed admirable.
"Strange, why is there water on it, but when it comes to this tower, it is nowhere to be seen?" Liu Yuan held a black wooden stick and followed behind him, the tower was empty, and there would be nothing he was interested in.
The second floor is about the same size as the first floor, except that there are some small Buddha caves on the surrounding walls, which seem to be used for some Buddha statues, but now, it has long been cleaned up, not to mention the Buddha statues, not even a stone.
"Don't look at it, those things have already been confiscated, and it's not difficult to find this kind of place, how can good things be left to you?"
When Li Jian and the four of them saw the Buddha cave for the first time, they immediately aroused a strong interest, and the four of them scattered, constantly looking for something in the second layer of space, and Zhang Erhe did not stop it, complaining on the side.
It didn't take long for the small second-floor space to be searched by Li Jian and the others, and even the stone steps couldn't escape.
The next few layers of stupas are the same, there are empty Buddha caves, but they are empty, fortunately, the oxygen in this tower is quite sufficient, and the oxygen facilities prepared earlier are completely useless, so that the weight on everyone's body will be somewhat reduced.
"Li Jian, the lotus platform is integrated with the underground rock, even if we dig it out, we can't take it out, the hole is too small." As soon as he arrived on the sixth floor, Zhang Erhe asked.
Li Jian didn't care, laughed twice, and said, "Brother, you don't care about this, you just need to take us over." ”
Zhang Erhe frowned, and it was not easy to say any more, after all, what was discussed before was that he only needed to lead the way, and as for the rest, all the rest would be left to Li Jian and the four of them to do, and the money was too easy to make.
"Okay, that's the last layer down there, we'll go back when it's done."
Li Jian didn't speak, the tower was dim, and he couldn't see his demeanor clearly at this time, but Liu Yuan paid a little attention, and saw that a few people were going down, so he had to follow.
As soon as he entered, Liu Yuan noticed that something was wrong, the six floors of this pagoda looked unusually dry, but the air within these seven floors was quite humid, thinking of the water stains on the cave wall in front of the tower and the stagnant water on the ground, something vaguely appeared in his mind, but he couldn't think of it for a while.
The seven-storey structure is completely different from the upper six floors, not to mention the spaciousness, even the layout is far from the pagoda, here is like a small Buddha hall, in the middle position, a huge stone lotus platform rises from the ground, nearly one person high, the lotus platform is empty, and around the lotus platform is a small circular waterhole, the lotus platform surrounds it, the waterhole is surrounded by a small lampstand, all of them are stone, and the place where they and their group settle is the periphery of the waterhole.
There is a dome above the lotus platform, the flashlight is illuminated, and the Buddha statues of various colors stand tall, forming a surrounding trend from the top of the dome, and the lotus platform is surrounded in the middle.
"Tut-tut, the wisdom of the ancients is really unfathomable, it's just a matter of building a tower underground, and you can make such a layout, I really admire it." Zhang Erhe listened to Li Jian's praise with disdain, and was disdainful.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you here, my task is complete, I'll go back first." Zhang Erhe looked at the huge lotus platform in the middle and said that it was fake, but for so many years, no one has taken it away, it must be a little difficult, this operation is easy, just bring people to it.
"Hehe, brother, the plan has changed, I'm afraid you'll have to stay here a little longer."
Zhang Erhe frowned, and was about to get angry, but Liu Yuan's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly ran over, and hurriedly said, "We have this intention." ”
Seeing Liu Yuan pushing himself, looking at his eyes from time to time, Zhang Erhe was unwilling, snorted, found a dry place by himself, and sat down.
"Brother, don't blame you, the boss specially ordered that you must not leave before the matter is completed." Li Jian said, slightly apologetic.
"I know that the money is not so easy to make, but the ugly words are ahead, I won't move this lotus platform!" Zhang Erhe didn't have a good airway, and when he saw the stone lotus flower that was bigger than himself, he felt bitter in his heart.
"Hehe, my brother laughed." Li Jian comforted and exchanged glances with the three people, and the three of them understood and hurriedly took action.
The water flow in the waterhole is not very deep, and the four of them each took out a small round thing from their bodies, flowed through the waterhole, and fixed it under the lotus platform, after this action, several people retreated, and pulled Zhang Erhe and the two to the entrance of the seventh floor.
"Are you crazy? This lotus platform is a treasure, you are actually going to blow it up? "After understanding what a few people did, Zhang Erhe was a little stunned, and said that he would just take the lotus platform away, but if it was blown up like this, it would be completely destroyed!
"Don't worry, you won't lose a penny of your money." Li Jian said lightly, it seems that destroying this lotus platform is normal for him.
Zhang Erhe had to say it again, a huge roar suddenly appeared, even with the sixth floor, there was a slight touch, Zhang Erhe knew that the lotus platform was only over.
The gravel flew over, and the movement continued for a while, and seeing that the momentum was stable, Li Jian casually threw out a shovel.
"Let's go, today's purpose is not this useless lotus platform."
Zhang Erhe heard vaguely, it's not Liantai, so what could it be? Could it be that there are other treasures under this tower?
Back on the seventh floor, the huge stone lotus flower had already turned into rubble and scattered, and the stone lampstand above the waterhole was also affected, and there was not one in ten.
"If that's right, let's dig five meters deeper."
These words aroused Zhang Erhe's interest, and he glanced at Liu Yuan, both of whom were shocked.
"I said, there is a million remuneration for leading the way, how can there be a pie in the sky?" Zhang Erhe glanced at Li Jian and said sarcastically.
Li Jianquan didn't hear it, one person was in front, three people were behind, each holding a shovel, and flowed over the pond, Liu Yuan took a black wooden stick, patted Zhang Erhe, and said, "Uncle Zhang, let's go over and take a look?" ”
Under the stone lotus, there is a connected rock, which is not realistic to excavate, so it can only be blasted again.
"Wait, let me see." When Li Jian was about to continue to take out the small bomb, Liu Yuan stepped forward to block it, and the stone lotus was indeed connected with the mountain rock.
Liu Yuan stepped forward, pulled down the gravel in the middle, and touched it lightly under the gravel regardless of the surprised eyes of several people.
"No more blow-ups, give me the shovel." Liu Yuan observed for a while, but did not look back, and his expression was a little strange.
Li Jian and the four of them didn't move, and they looked down on such a little hairy child.
"And then." Zhang Erhe saw Li Jian and the four of them standing there stunned, and was displeased, so he handed over the shovel in his hand.
Liu Yuan stopped talking, put the black wooden stick in his hand aside, picked up the shovel and smashed it on the rock a few times, seeing that the rock did not move at all, it was slammed again.
"Alright, let's blow it up." Li Jian looked a little impatient.
"Hehe, the rock is hard when it meets water, and soft when it meets soil, and there is a faint smell of earth under this base, and the hardness is much stronger than above, you said before that you will dig another five meters deep, but in my opinion, it is only two meters away, are you not afraid of blowing up again and collapsing this place?" Liu Yuan turned his head and sneered.
"You. . . Hum! Li Jian was angry in his heart, but he valued this young man a little, according to the information they obtained, this lotus platform was indeed empty, and it was difficult for him to say anything more.
"Haha, nephew, there you have it! Li Jian, you have to listen carefully to what my nephew says, he is much better than you tomb robbers. Seeing that Li Jian was deflated, Zhang Erhe couldn't help but laugh at it, this Li Jian changed his face several times from the beginning, which made him very annoyed.
"Nephew, how you dig it, my uncle will listen to you."
Liu Yuan thought for a moment, looked at the waterhole quietly, frowned, and turned his head to look at Li Jian and the others.
"Dig!"
This time Li Jian and the four of them did not refute, one of them replaced a sharp cone, and violently chiseled towards the lotus base, sure enough, it was not long before they chiseled, only to feel that the bottom was soft and abnormal, and several people were instantly overjoyed, and replaced the awl with a shovel, and the original gravel was gradually covered with mud.
"Be careful, it's not far away." Seeing that the surrounding soil was piling up more and more, Liu Yuan reminded, and at this time, he had only dug out a little more than a meter high.
"Alright, go up!" It didn't take long for Li Jian to give an order, and the four of them climbed up along the edge.
"Little brother, you are really a god." had many dissatisfaction with Liu Yuan before, but now, he had to admire.
Zhang Erhe's face was colored, and when he saw Liu Yuan staring at the unopened soil below, he also looked at it generally.
Li Jian is busy in the gang, and ropes are essential.
"Uncle Zhang, let's not go down." Liu Yuan stood aside and said, but he was not interested, but it didn't mean that Zhang Erhe was the same, listening to Liu Yuanyi, his face was long.
"It's all here, it's good to satisfy my uncle's curiosity." When he first came to this seven-story underground tower, Zhang Erhe didn't care at all, but now, there was still a world at the bottom of the tower, and he was very itchy.
"Hehe, brother, your task has been completed, and the next thing will not need you to reconcile." But it was Li Jian who said.
Liu Yuan's expression was a little colder, but he didn't speak, but Zhang Erhe's quick temper was not happy at the time, and scolded: "You group of **** things, I wanted to leave before, but you didn't let me, and now Lao Tzu doesn't want to go, and you drive me out again, do you really treat Lao Tzu as a monkey?" ”
When Li Jianhou heard Zhang Erhe's insults, his expression suddenly turned cold, and he instantly pulled out a pistol, and the muzzle of the gun was aimed directly at Zhang Erhe's forehead.
"Do you want to go?" The voice was cold, but it made Zhang Erhe shiver.
"Uncle Zhang, let's go."
