forced himself to take a few deep breaths, and Lao Luo finally calmed down.

After all, he is not an adventurer who does whatever he wants, but a professional sergeant who always remains calm and rational. It's been nearly two years since I left that familiar time and space, and when the desire to return to my own time and space suddenly pops up, it's really not easy to control. He is not the kind of person who has no heart and lungs to forget his father and mother, even if he has two brothers and two sisters at home to take care of the elderly, he can't help but miss the old people at home, even if it is endless nagging.

Finding an unobstructed spot in front of the tall stone house being renovated, Lao Luo, who was undisturbed, stared at the busy people on the wooden shelves in a daze.

This is the kind of psychology that is said to be the momentary gain and loss, Lao Luo actually knows very well that the secret of the underground cannot have anything to do with his coming to this time and space. Both the axe and the ring are related to Eastern Taoism, and they will not have any entanglement with the Macedonians thousands of years ago.

"Bartol, how is this house doing?" Al Hesian walked from behind Lao Luo, leaning against the big rock behind him, and looked up at the busy people above.

"Oh? Well...... Not bad! Lao Luo came to his senses and said casually.

"I found out that this building may be a temple at that time, and there may be an altar under this stone behind us......" Like later generations of scholars, Alhesion doesn't pay attention to human affairs, as long as there are things worthy of their attention, nothing else, so he didn't pay attention to Lao Luo at all, "On the wall opposite the entrance of this house, look there, there is a mural, but unfortunately it has been damaged and I can't tell which god is depicted...... I guess it could be Apollo, it couldn't be Mars, because Mars ......"

"Uh-huh...... Old Luo snorted only for a moment, what was the difference between Apollo and Mars, he didn't understand at all, although he could speak a few words of Greek.

"The Athenians liked to use marble to sculpt the gods (1), because there are many stone mountains on the Apennine Peninsula, but not here, there is no marble here, and the pillars are all sandstone, so they can only paint on the walls......" El Hesian pulled Lao Luo around the scaffolding of the workers, walked to the inside of the "temple", and said with a gesture.

Lao Luo's attention eased. There is some truth in what Alhesian said, but in ancient times, Central Asia was probably the bottom of the sea, mostly a folded area composed of sedimentary rocks, not without marble, but the surface was very small, and the excavation of soil and stone crusts was not possible in this era.

Without disturbing Al Hessin's train of thought, Lao Luo listened to Al Hessin's narration while carefully observing the inner hall of the cleaned "Temple". The sediment and dirt have been removed, revealing the same sandstone surface, which is damaged but no longer obstructs the observation of the structure.

In fact, this space is not large, the largest span is only six meters, the top of the house does not have the dougong commonly used in the West, but is framed horizontally with stone strips, and you can also see the gaps in the top stone strips, and there is a lime layer mixed with clay on the walls, but it is mottled and looks very dilapidated.

The general layout of the building is a horizontal flat cross, the entrance is indeed opposite the position of the fresco, there is no obvious functional sign on both sides, and it is two rectangular spaces with a span of six meters and a length of more than 20 meters.

"I guess this is probably the conference hall...... Or," Lao Luo casually echoed Al Hesyn.

"Well, God is with man...... This is in line with the custom of the Greeks as recorded in the book...... And Alexander the Great's teacher was the Greek Aristotle...... "Speaking of allusions, Elhesion's words are very addictive.

"Legend has it that Alexander the Great attacked the east in order to verify his teacher's teachings?" Lao Luo asked about a rumor he had heard.

"It's been too long, as if someone said that...... However, it is said that Aristotle believed that the ground under our feet is spherical, and perhaps Alexander the Great was trying to prove this. Like you said! Alhesion said with a longing expression, wishing that Aristotle was right in front of him, and that he could ask many questions.

"Okay, let's go back to this question...... "Lao Luo didn't want to discuss with him whether the feet were spherical or not, the two of them had talked about this issue many times, because he was not a scientist after all, and he would not use mathematical concepts to prove this problem." Al, don't you notice the ground here is weird? ”

"You mean......" The horsehair brush in Al Hessin's hand was sweeping the details on the walls.

"I feel that this place is not simple, the foot is ...... For example, the ground here may be empty......" Lao Luo stood next to a collapsed stone brick, and gently touched the collapsed position with his foot.

This location is the long hall on the east side, near the easternmost end of the entire building, and the stone bricks on the ground are still wet, apparently covered with a layer of earth.

"How so?" Al Hesian stopped what she was doing, walked to Lao Luo's side, and observed, "I asked someone to clean up the dirt here in the morning, but I didn't pay attention to this place...... However, even if there is an authenticity, it won't be here, right? ”

He was not surprised that the ground was empty, as both the Greeks and Romans had a habit of digging basements or escape routes under buildings.

"And where do you say it should be?" Although he sensed it with mental power, Lao Luo didn't want to explain it directly. Because that would reveal a lot of problems, he didn't want to explain, and whenever he left a little bit of back, it was fundamental. It's not that he doesn't trust Al Hesyan, it's just that this scholar-tempered bearded man is really difficult to keep anything secret, Al is trustworthy, and the people around Al may not be able to.

"I think the ground behind the ruined mural stone wall is suspicious......" Al Hesion said after a moment's thought.

"That position...... I think it's used to confuse people, close to the hall of the temple, anyone can think that there is something strange there, maybe after going down, it will be a series of traps...... "Lao Luo is too lazy to delay time, not to mention when the spiritual power is inducted, that place is indeed an entrance to the underground, but there are flaps, pits, falling stones, and thorn walls abounding, and the final position is even more weird There seem to be a lot of things that will move, and he can't sense what will move, but whether it's a snake or an ant or a mouse, it's not easy to get along, God knows if there's any poison or germs out there.

"That's right......" Al Hesion hesitated.

There is very little information on the ground, and if he can find the underground space, there will definitely be a lot of leftovers, which may allow him to learn more about the past of Alexander the Great.

"Well, let's do it here, I think it's likely to be a passage that can enter people...... Lao Luo didn't hesitate, the purpose of calling Al Hesian was because this thing couldn't hide from people, he turned his head and greeted Olki, who was standing guard at the door: "Olki, call ten people from the pro-army team, remember to take the shovel!" ”

"Yes, Lord!" Olki was absolutely crisp when he carried out the order.

Nuralman followed behind Lao Luo, staring curiously at the potholed stone surface, his expression still like that of a curious child, well, in fact, he was only eighteen years old.

In a few moments, more than a dozen soldiers with shovels quickly walked in, and a few more of them were holding iron drills and iron hooks, which were used to pry and hook stones.

Lao Luo just made a slight gesture, and the muscular men began to move, these guys now have a lot of strength to boil their bodies every day, and the stones on the ground are only a hundred and ten catties that can't stop them at all.

The area that needs to be excavated is relatively large, because the total area of collapsed stones is more than a dozen square meters, each stone is half a square meter, and there are dozens of stone bricks on it.

Beneath the rocks is half-dry and half-wet sand, and it is clear from the appearance of the solidification that no one has touched it for a long time.

There was a faint smell of blood in the sand along with the musty smell, Lao Luo frowned, he was all too familiar with this smell, where no one had touched for many years, there was such a smell of blood, what it was like in the middle of the killing, either there were too many killings in the past, or someone had entered in the middle, and many people had also bled and injured many people.

The layers of sand were dug away by the shovel, and a stone staircase that was slanted down was exposed, and then dug down more than two meters along the stone steps, and the earthwork had already filled half of the east hall, and a huge metal plate of four square meters at the bottom was revealed.

"Stop, stop......" Al Hesyn hurriedly stopped the hard-working muscular men.

He didn't say why, waited for the soldiers at the bottom of the pit to come up, and hurriedly walked down the steps. With the bristle brush in your hand, you begin to sweep around the metal plate.

A few pine torches were lit, and through the small windows on the wall, it was already clear that the sun had begun to set outside.

"This is the idol of Tatarus! The god of the abyss of ancient Greece! Al Hesyn swept away the reliefs on the metal plates, saw the pattern by the light of the torches, and cried out, "Don't uncover it, only the gods know what the hell is underneath!" ”

"How, El?" Lao Luo was a little confused.

"Tatarus is the god of the abyss in ancient Greece, the god of demons and monsters and fallen gods, and whatever it is, it's not a good thing down there......" Elhesian said with some frustration.

"Could it be that Alexander the Great is still holding a sacred cow down there?" Lao Luo didn't care at all, and reached out and pulled El Hesian up.

"This ...... It's hard to say......"

"Okay, that's all for today, go to the damp, and talk about it tomorrow!" Seeing that it was getting dark, Lao Luo didn't want to continue, anyway, there was such an evil god's foreshadowing, no one dared to touch the things here easily, even the pro-soldiers who were digging hard just now showed some timid expressions.

In this day and age, the gods are always high up and feared, regardless of the race.

Only Lao Luo is an exception.
