Chapter 22: "Towers" in the "Chimney"
    "Raw stone flowers? The torturer stepped forward and took a closer look, "Sure enough." β
    Hu Sanqian also touched up and down: "Yes, it is a combination of stones and raw stone flowers, in this dark environment, with stones close to raw stone flowers and raw stone flowers combined, you can't see clearly if you don't get closer, but there is no point in doing this?" Once you get close, you will be discovered. β
    He Chenxue shook her head: "I'm sure this wall is made by the Jade Casting Society." β
     Torture turned to look at He Chenxue and asked, "Why?" β
    "Because the people of the Jade Casting Society like to raise this thing, the reason is very simple, this thing is durable, drought resistant, and does not need to be taken care of, and it looks like a stone. He Chenxue groped up and down, "But when the raw stone flower entered the Jade Casting Society, everyone began to like it, and it was only ten years, which is not long, which means that this wall has not been built for a long time." β
     Torture thought for a while and said: "No, this wall is estimated to have been built very early, you must know that during the 7381 project, Geng Lao found the people in the secret door, and this wall must have existed before that, otherwise it would be meaningless to hide it with raw stone flowers, in addition, this old tunnel is one hundred and twenty meters long, and it is not accidental, I think, the Japanese must have discovered something here back then, so they deliberately dug the cave ten meters more, creating an illusion for others." β
    Hu Sanqian squatted on the ground and checked: "Yes, the ground on this side of the tunnel is too clean, obviously someone deliberately cleaned up, but it was not completely cleaned up." As he spoke, Hu Sanqian squatted on the ground, picked up a piece of gray-white things, and handed it to the torturer, "This is a broken bone of the human body, judging from the first touch, I must have been dead for decades." β
     Torture looked at the broken bones and said: "So, there have been a lot of dead people here, maybe they were wiped out by the Japanese, maybe this bone is the Japanese army, three thousand, find the entrance, it shouldn't be difficult to find, Xiaobai has found it." β
    Hu Sanqian nodded, and after looking for a long time, he found that there was a rectangular cave at the bottom of the wall that was nearly one meter long and about 30 centimeters high, like a leakage.
    Hu Sanqian squatted there, took out something like a tape measure from his bag, threw it directly to the opposite side, and then lifted and lowered, carefully dragged it back, and then put the ruler that had not been taken back on the ground to check, and then said: "Three and a half meters." β
    He Chenxue immediately asked, "How is this thing measured?" β
    Hu Sanqian put away the ruler and said: "This kind of cave will crawl from time to time, in this way, it will cause less dust in the cave, but it is inevitable that there will be cobwebs, but outside the cave entrance is not necessarily, the composition of soil and dust will be different, and the cobwebs will not be knotted in a place where there is no support, I stretched out at the same time, raised the ruler, touched the top of the cave, and then pulled back close to the ground, and then looked at the things stained on the ruler, Basically, I can judge the approximate length, but five meters is the limit, and beyond five meters, I can only use other things. β
      Torture Leaned over and looked: "I'm advanced." β
    Hu Sanqian shook his head: "We don't need to be advanced, it's advanced." β
     said, Hu Sanqian took out a snake, after the snake escaped, the torture technique directly retreated a few steps, hid in the distance, his face was pale, and then looked at He Chenxue but leaned over with a smile on his face, and said in a female voice that could only appear when a cat or a puppy appeared: "So cute!" β
    The snake with white circles wrapped around Hu Sanqian's arm, and approached He Chenxue with its head held high, like a cat ready to make out with humansβat least in He Chenxue's eyes.
    However, in the eyes of torture, this thing is the most terrifying animal in the world! 10,000 times more terrifying than ghosts, zombies, zombies, zombies, Terminators, and the like Decepticons......
    torture looked at it from afar: "Hey, Sanqian, why are you carrying this thing when you have nothing to do?" β
    "This is the best buddy of underground workers. Hu Sanqian lifted the snake and stuffed it into the cave, "It's best to use it to find the way." β
     Torture was stunned: "Underground workers? You're not a tomb robber, and you know I hate tomb robbers the most. β
    "Hello, fellow underground workers. He Chenxue also reached out to touch the snake, and the snake was not afraid of He Chenxue, and swam on the back of He Chenxue's hand for a while, and then entered the cave.
     The torture technique was scared enough, and after the snake entered, he slowly walked over and squatted down and said, "Three thousand, let's discuss something, okay?" β
    Hu Sanqian immediately said: "I understand, I won't let Hu Hu come out when it's not necessary." β
    "Hu? Torture was stunned, "You give this terrifying reptile such a cute name?" No wonder you don't have a wife. β
    "Heh-" Hu Sanqian smiled at the torture technique, "Say it as if you have a wife." β
     Torture was choked by Hu Sanqian's words and couldn't refute it, so he had to squat there and wait, while He Chenxue said with a smile: "So you're afraid of snakes?" β
    Hu Sanqian looked at the entrance of the cave and said: "Generally speaking, those who are afraid of snakes are afraid of other reptiles, lizards, turtles and the like." β
    He Chenxue smiled: "Are you still afraid of turtles? β
    torture squinted at He Chenxue: "Do you know the snapping turtle?" One bite of that thing, the durian can be crushed for you, no one is not afraid. β
    As he was talking, Hu Sanqian's Hu Hu got back, wrapped it around Hu Sanqian's arm, spit out the letter and got back into his bag.
    Hu Sanqian then said: "Let's go, no problem, there's no danger over there, I'll go first." β
     said, Hu Sanqian lay down, crawled forward and climbed into the cave below, followed by He Chenxue, followed by the torture, and the torture began to keep a distance from Hu Sanqian with the snake.
    The moment he crawled out of the cave, he remembered something and asked, "Sanqian, how did you get the snake on the train?" β
    After asking, he found that the two did not answer, he struggled to get up, and when he was about to raise his hand to pat Hu Sanqian, he was surprised when he raised his eyes, standing side by side with He Chenxue and Hu Sanqian, looking at the huge deep well on this side of the wall, and in the deep well stood a huge cylinder.
     After a long time, Xingshu raised his finger and pointed to the huge cylinder in the deep well, and asked He Chenxue: "Chenxue, can you see it with your eyes?" β
    He Chenxue nodded: "It's vague, but I smell a familiar smell." β
    Hu Sanqian stepped forward, walked to the edge of the deep well, stepped on the platform he was standing on with his feet, it was obvious that the platform should be built during the puppet Manchurian period, when digging the tunnel, the wall of the well was cut through, in order to study the well and the cylinder in the well, the Japanese army not only deliberately extended the length of the tunnel to 120 meters, but also built a cement platform at the wall of the dug well.
    The distance between the platform and the cylinder in the well is not long, at best, it is one and a half meters close to two meters, and the depth of the entire deep well cannot be measured, whether it is looking up or looking down, it is all pitch black, and the distance that the flashlight can reach is also limited.
     torture took a flashlight and shone it on the upper end: "The subway line is multi-layered, not a single-layer buried depth, according to the calculation on Geng Lao's notebook, the average depth is about 25 meters, but Geng Lao's information also said that he did not record in detail, after all, some are confidential, the tunnel in order to avoid the foundation of the ground building, bypassing at the same time will extend obliquely, the deepest position is about 65 meters." In the past few days, I have checked the information, and the deepest civil air defense project is North Korea, with an average depth of 100 meters, and the deepest place reaches 200 meters. β
    Hu Sanqian stood on the platform, shining a flashlight on the wall of the well, stretched out his hand to touch it, and then found his coffin nailed to it and chiseled it for a while, then reached out and touched it, sniffed it again, pinched the powder and handed it to the torture technique.
     Torture Technique approached and sniffed, and gently pinched and rubbed it with his fingers, and then said for a while: "It's quartz sand." β
    He Chenxue also leaned over, and then affirmed: "Yes, it's quartz sand, so the age when it was built here is not far away?" β
    Criminal Shu shook his head: "No, judging from the current situation, first of all, it can't be after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it can't be in the puppet Manchukuo era before liberation, you also saw it, the Japanese also wanted to study this, but finally gave up, probably because of lack of time, so the age of this well is even older." β
    "Moreover, not only quartz sand, which is also mixed with river stone, you know, in the past, the ancients drilled wells, fixed the wall of the well are river stones, to the Qing Dynasty, the wells used in the general mansion, the walls of the wells are made of green bricks. Hu Sanqian thought carefully, "If you say that the origin of quartz is closer to here, it is either around Jingbo Lake in the Mudanjiang River, or it is in Inner Mongolia, anyway, there is definitely no suburb." β
     "Jingbo Lake ......" Criminal Technique Speaking of this, he glanced at He Chenxue and asked, "Chenxue, is the situation here very similar to the lantern well under the Heaven and Earth Mansion?" It is also a well-like place, except that the position of the lantern becomes such a cylinder. β
    He Chenxue nodded hurriedly: "Listening to you say this, it's really similar, but the stone on the well wall in the Heaven and Earth Mansion is the kind of alchemy stone used, and this place is made of quartz sand and river stone, which is slightly secondary." β
    " should be different. Hu Sanqian, who had been observing the surroundings, pointed to the bottom and said, "You turn on the flashlight, shine it below, and I'll take a closer look." β
     Torture and He Chenxue immediately did so, Hu Sanqian observed for a while, looked up at the torture technique and said: "The appearance below here is not a well, but similar to a chimney, you look carefully." β
     The torture technique looked carefully for a while, and He Chenxue could only wait by the side because he couldn't see too far.
    After looking at it for a while, he nodded and said, "Yes, the further down you are, the longer the diameter is, like a horn, but it is most appropriate to say that it is a chimney." β
    Hu Sanqian got up and said: "No matter what it looks like, this kind of thing is the first time I've seen it, and the Tiandi Mansion you went to last time, I've never seen it, it's unheard of, if only I could go with you last time." During the Tang Dynasty, there were people in the Bohai Kingdom who were so skilled that they could make the kind of precision instruments powered by flowing water, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they were ingenious, but I don't think there is any connection between this place and Heaven and Earth. β
    Hu Sanqian finished speaking, He Chenxue also echoed: "Sanqian is right, I also think there should be no connection, according to the territory division of the Tang Dynasty, now the entire Harbin area, part of it is in the Bohai Sea, part of it is in the Buyeo country, and it is also close to the Khitan country, the so-called cast iron immortal built the Tiandifu, to say the least, it was also a few decades before the fall of the Bohai State, and the official opening of the Tiandifu was the destruction of the Bohai State, what happened after the king fled, and the Bohai State was destroyed not long after, the Buyeo Kingdom was also destroyed by the Khitan, and then the Great Liao appeared in history. β
    Hu Sanqian nodded: "Yes, so, if someone did this kind of thing in this plain area at that time, it would definitely be discovered." β
     Torture looked around, and when he remembered it, he suddenly said: "Chenxue, do you still remember what happened about Yelubei, the prince of the Khitan Kingdom, recorded in those images in the mirror of heaven and earth at that time?" β
    He Chenxue said: "Remember, there is a contradiction in it, saying that the king betrayed the king of Bohai and told Yelubei the news of the king's escape, and Yelubei led a large army to chase, and after entering the Heaven and Earth Mansion, he died in the cave where there were insects, but later it was recorded that Yelu Bei took the soldiers to seal the entire Heaven and Earth Mansion, and it was clearly recorded in history that Yelu Bei lived well, and later abandoned the country and fled to the Later Tang Dynasty, until the Later Tang coup was killed. β
    Hu Sanqian looked at the two: "Torture, didn't you say that you suspect that Yelubei was replaced after he died in the cave?" Maybe that's doable, but does it have anything to do here? β
     Torture shook his head and said: "I don't know, but I always think it should be related, after all, the guy who calls himself a cast iron immortal is so obsessed with mechanical mechanisms and secret ways, it is impossible to only do one place in Heaven and Earth for the rest of his life, don't care about these for now, go after Xiaobai first, I'm worried that something will happen to him." β
    He Chenxue immediately said: "The key is how do we move forward now?" β
    torture frowned and looked around: "Yes, it seems that you can only slide through the gap between the wall of the well and the stone pillar, and there is no entrance or exit on the surface of the stone pillar. β
    Hu Sanqian pointed to the stone pillar and said: "Maybe it is into the stone pillar, you see, the diameter of the well body where we are located is about twenty meters, and the distance between the outside of the stone pillar and the wall of the well is about two and a half meters, so it is speculated that the diameter of the stone pillar should be about fifteen meters, and the size of the plane area can be calculated according to the diameter, which is equivalent to the size of the ancient watchtower area in the past, and even larger than the general, so it cannot be solid inside, Because that doesn't make any sense. β
    "But why build a 'watchtower' without any windows in this 'chimney'? The torture technique looked carefully up and down, left and right, and then the flashlight stayed on the wall of the well on the left side of the platform, and immediately waved Hu Sanqian, "Sanqian, look over there." β
    Hu Sanqian stepped forward with a flashlight, looked at it carefully, and then asked He Chenxue to grab the body of the torture technique based on the hole that crawled in, and the torture technique supported the wall to fix the body, and then grabbed Hu Sanqian's belt with one hand, and let Hu Sanqian lean out to check.
    Hu Sanqian, who was wearing a headlamp, approached there and looked at it carefully: "This is the trace left by the climbing tool, judging from the traces, it should be left by the tiger's claw, this trace is new, it should be left not long ago, although there are other traces around, but it is very old, and some places are like the impact marks left by bullets." β
    The torture technique dragged Hu Sanqian back and said: "Climbing tiger claws should be Xiaobai's tool, it seems that Xiaobai is holding the well wall and the outside of the stone pillar and sliding down with gecko skills." β
    Hu Sanqian looked around and said: "If we want to go down, the only thing that can tie the rope is the platform under our feet, wrap the rope around the protruding platform, and then slide down slowly, but I am sure that Xiaobai will not slide down from here." β
    "Why? The torture technique immediately asked, and after asking, Hu Sanqian pointed to the wall of the well with his finger, and then pointed to the outside of the stone pillar, and then realized that he had made a serious mistake, "The distance between the wall of the well and the outside of the stone pillar is two meters and five, and no matter how long Xiaobai's arm length is, it is impossible to reach this length, and he can't support his body at all." β
    Hu Sanqian nodded: "Yes, in this kind of place, everything has to be thought about several times, and sometimes, people will suddenly ignore obvious things, but because of such an ignorance, people will die." β
    "But why did Xiaobai's tiger paw mark stay there? He Chenxue immediately asked, "This is also unreasonable, right?" β
    " reasonable. Hu Sanqian said while preparing the rope, "Xiao Bai must first jump to the wall of the well from here, fix his body, and then jump to the outer body of the stone pillar below, and then jump to the opposite wall of the well below, so that he goes back and forth, after reaching a certain position, because this is a chimney-shaped body, and there is an inclined surface at the bottom, after getting there, he can slide down the outer body of the stone pillar with a small inclination, which is the best way to go down from the outside, of course, you also need skills, I and the torture technique should be able to do it, but Miss He, you should not be able to." , so, only use a rope. β
    Hu Sanqian had already wrapped the rope around the platform under their feet as he spoke, and at the same time locked the fixed lock on the rope on He Chenxue's waist: "Miss He, you should be able to use the figure 8 ring descender, right?" β
    He Chenxue nodded, and Hu Sanqian said: "Control the speed, maintain the same height as the torture technique, and listen to my command!" β
    torture tightened his gloves, put the tiger claws on them, and examined them carefully: "I haven't used this thing for more than a year. β
     "It's okay, whether it's the wall of the well or the surface of the stone pillar, there is a certain gap between the stones, it should be able to grasp it steadily, I'll go down first." Hu Sanqian said and lifted the safety rope lock around his waist, "Pick up the lock and put it on the belt, so that if you feel that your body can't be fixed, you can throw the rope to Miss He." β
    Torture nodded: "Understood." β
    "I'll go down first, and the position of your body should be the same as my previous position. Hu Sanqian said, pointing to the waist bag with tools, "It's best not to think about using pitons, we don't know what's inside the stones and quartz sand, in case the expansion nails can't be fixed well, something will happen." β
     Saying, Hu Sanqian squatted down, got up again, moved his body, and said: "I haven't worked for a while, I'm a little rusty, you wait for my signal." β
    Hu Sanqian jumped up from the platform after speaking, jumped to the wall of the well on the left, grabbed his body slightly in the air, his limbs were close to the wall of the well almost at the same time, the tiger fingers of his hands and the fixed boots on his feet collided with sparks on the surface of the stone, and slid down violently.
Seeing this, he pinched a cold sweat and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Hu Sanqian fixing his body.
    Hu Sanqian raised his head and said, "It's okay, you can fix it, wait for my signal!" β
     As he spoke, Hu Sanqian turned around and jumped towards the surface of the stone pillar, grasped it firmly and then bounced to the lower left wall of the shaft, and soon disappeared into the darkness, only the sound of metal and stone collision could be heard in the dark.
    Although He Chenxue couldn't see clearly, she also knew that Hu Sanqian would go down quickly, and sighed: "This Hu Sanqian is so powerful, do all the people who open the coffin have this skill?" But I never figured out what these coffin openers were doing. I used to think they were some kind of grave robbers. β
    "No, no, no, it's completely different. The torture looked down and explained: "The history of the coffin opener can be traced back to the Qin Dynasty, to put it bluntly, people like them are to help big families deal with the aftermath, after historical changes, it has become a very strange profession, whether it is for Chinese magic, gossip feng shui, Qimen Dunjia, or ancient martial arts, these people have a certain attainment." (For more information about the coffin opener, please see "The Coffin Opener")
    He Chenxue was slightly stunned after hearing this: "I always feel that you are looking for him this time, it seems that there are more than these reasons." β
    Criminal Technique nodded, and said in a low voice: "The main reason is that over the years, I have had very little contact with Hu Sanqian, so people who are familiar with me will definitely go to Yan Gang if they know that I have something, and some other insiders, these people's identities, backgrounds and personalities are easy to grasp, but Hu Sanqian is an exception, about finding Qimen, I want to find a group of people who have not been used before." β
    He Chenxue asked again: "Isn't Bai Zhongzheng also right?" β
    Criminal Shu shook his head slightly: "Now we know that Guo Hongkui, Guo Shiji and Bai Zhongzheng are the descendants of the Guo family, and they came for the Guo family's strange gate, and the location of the Guo family's hidden strange gate is only known to Xing Renju, but the Guo family itself does not know?" And they have to protect it, don't you think it's weird? β
    "Yes, after I knew Bai Zhongzheng's identity, I also felt strange and didn't understand why this happened. He Chenxue shook her head, "It seems that the purpose is not so simple." β
     Torture looked down, still didn't hear Hu Sanqian's signal, and said: "Also, the almost identical peerless painting we saw in the basement, I now realize that maybe there is no direct connection with Pan Feng and them, but it may be related here." β
    "Here!? He Chenxue didn't understand the meaning of the torture words.
      Torture took out a hand-held monomer version of the GPS locator from his bag: "Although the signal has been lost now, it has begun to be intermittent, and before we entered the old tunnel, the signal was completely cut off, but before it was broken, our location was not far from the peerless building." β
    He Chenxue immediately said: "You mean, where we are now, is just below the peerless building?" β
     Torture nodded, putting away the GPS: "Yes, I think this place should be connected to the basement of the Peerless Building somewhere, and it was set on fire, maybe because we were worried that we would find the entrance." β
    As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a whistle from below, which was Hu Sanqian's signal.
    torture technique immediately got up, carried the rope and slowly lowered He Chenxue, and after she was suspended and balanced under the platform, she took a few steps back, looked at the position where Hu Sanqian jumped for the first time before, took a deep breath, moved her lower limbs, and then jumped over.
