Chapter 325: Warring States High Platform

When they saw that building, everyone was surprised, because no one could have imagined that under that grid cave was an area that resembled an ocean, and in this area there was an ancient building.

Although the underwater visibility was high and the water was clear, the building was vague and looming, like a mirage.

Wei Chiran gestured with his hand and asked Xie Meng, what is that? And Xie Meng just pointed downward, signaling that everyone still followed her.

Just when everyone followed Xie Meng to dive down and approached the bottom of the underwater building, they found that the bottom of the building was surrounded by brown algae, and at the same time, several water snakes would emerge from the algae from time to time. As before, the water snake did not attack them, but only slowly swam past them.

Xie Meng motioned for everyone not to be nervous and followed her in, and then she went straight into the pile of brown algae.

The moment Xie Meng got in, the rest of the people hesitated, there is the unknown in the algae, and what humans are most afraid of is precisely the unknown.

Even on land, if there is nothing special, no one will casually burrow into the bushes of the deep mountains and old forests, and no one knows what is hidden there.

A few seconds later, Xie Meng, who found that they hadn't followed, emerged from the algae again and motioned for them to come down. The torture technique hesitated slightly, and finally got in, Wei Chiran and Hou Wan glanced at each other, and simply got in.

The moment he got into the algae, Wei Chiran regretted it a little, because he couldn't see anything in front of him, except for the algae, there was only algae, even through the wetsuit, he could still feel the strange feeling of the algae brushing the surface of the wetsuit, as if he had fallen directly into the snake pile, and at this moment there were thousands of snakes swimming around the body, looking for the weakest place in the human body.

Except for Xie Meng, the feelings of the rest of the people were also completely the same as Wei Chiran's, from the slight fear at the beginning, it gradually turned into the fear of being lost, because even if he turned back, he couldn't see the world outside the algae, only dense algae in front of him.

Just when Wei Chiran panicked, a water snake suddenly appeared in front of him, the water snake and Wei Chiran collided head-on, Wei Chiran subconsciously trembled, changed his downward posture, and directly suspended there, staring at the water snake in front of him whose body was also trembling.

The water snake stared at Wei Chiran with its head held high, then slowly approached, its body directly against Wei Chiran's face, and then swam along his face towards the top of his head.

In this process, Wei Chiran felt that the water snake swam with electricity, and a tingling sensation began to spread from his face to his whole body, I don't know how long it took, until Hou Wan approached him, he came back to his senses.

Wei Chiran pointed to the top of his head, Hou Wan came back to his senses for a long time, looked carefully, and shook his head after finding that there was nothing there.

Wei Chi adjusted his breathing and continued to dive with Hou Wan, and Fang Xunyi and Saker in the consciousness space in his mind also felt extremely uncomfortable, in Saker's words, he felt that he was sitting in a submarine that could sink at any time at this moment.

After diving in the algae for a while, it finally became clear to them, and they could clearly see that Xie Meng was waiting for them at the bottom of the water below.

There was a ditch similar to a river under Xie Meng's body, and with the buildings behind it, it could be seen that it seemed to be a moat.

A moat in the water? What is this? It's so bizarre.

Just as Wei Chiran and the rest of the people were approaching Xie Meng, a huge black shadow emerged from the moat, and the moment it appeared, everyone in front of Xie Meng stopped, and even forgot to breathe, just looked at it directly, because the thing was too huge.

Xie Meng didn't seem to notice the huge creature in the moat behind him, but instead waved his hand to let them hurry forward.

The lieutenant Chi Chi raised his hand and pointed at her back and poked hard. Xie Meng came back to his senses at this time, turned his head to look behind him, and at this time, a black water snake with a huge body raised its head from the moat, staring at Xie Meng and the others in the water.

When Xie Meng saw the giant snake, he was also stunned, just looking straight at it.

The head of the giant snake began to approach Xie Meng's side, and then stopped, Wei Chi noticed that the giant snake seemed to have no eyes, and its head was all pitch black, and then, the head of the giant snake left Xie Meng's side again, approached the position of the others, and after a circle, it slowly returned to the moat and disappeared.

Xie Meng kept taking a deep breath, and then motioned for everyone to follow her.

Wei Chiran and the others followed Xie Meng closely, came to the edge of the moat, and went directly into a place similar to a drainage canal near the high platform.

The drain is obviously a U-shape, and it is completely impossible to turn around after drilling into it, in this environment, plus it is still underwater, which makes people feel more depressing, but fortunately, the drain is not too long, and it did not take long to surface and come to a small room.

Xie Meng struggled to get up, stretched out his hand to drag Wei Chiran up, and helped him pull the others up.

After everyone went ashore, Xie Meng took off his mask and wetsuit, and breathed directly against the wall.

Wei Chiran looked into the room, his eyes naturally looked at the door, and asked, "What kind of place is this?" ”

Hou Wan also asked, "What was that just now?" ”

Xingshu, Sima Qing and Yun Jian also naturally stood together, staring at Xie Meng, and Xingshu took the lead and said, "Boss Xie, you have something to hide from us." ”

After Xie Meng entered the water, she was familiar with the road, even a fool knew that she must have been here.

Xie Meng asked, "Torture, you also saw this building on it before, tell me what you think." ”

Although the torture technique maintained respect in his tone, he still couldn't hide his dissatisfaction: "Boss, you haven't answered our question yet. ”

The criminal technique here is talking about "we", not "me", and the meaning he wants to convey is very precise.

Xie Meng didn't seem to accept this: "Answer my question first." ”

The torture technique did not fight anymore, and recalled: "It looks like a high-rise building from the Warring States period. ”

Wei Chiran and Hou Wan looked at the torture technique in surprise, the high-platform building? Warring States period?

In Chinese architecture, the origin of the platform is very early, there is a Lutai in the Yin Dynasty, and there is a Lingtai in the Zhou Dynasty.

Chinese. There is a passage from Wu Ju in Volume 17 of the Chu Language: "Therefore, the first king is the Taixie, but the Xie is only about the military, and the Taiwan is not looking at the atmosphere." Therefore, the pavilion is in the residence of the great pawn, and the platform is at the height of the view. ”

This sentence reflects the original function of the platform, which was roughly a rammed earth platform for lookouts, and then a simple wooden house was built on top of it, which was used for practicing martial arts and archery, called the pavilion, which is the prototype of the platform.

During the Warring States Period, the wind of building Taiwan was very prosperous, and the rulers of various vassal states competed to build Taiwan, such as Wei's Wentai, Han's Hongtai, Chu's Zhanghuatai, and Qi's Luyutai, all of which are famous in history.

"Yanzi Spring and Autumn" notes: (Qi) Jing Gong climbed the platform of the road bed, and could not end up with His Majesty, and he was angry and colorful, and he was unhappy and said: Which is the high platform, the patient is even worse. "Lao Tzu": The nine-story platform is made in the soil. The lecture table can be up to nine stories high, making it a very tall building.

Chinese. Chu Yu" volume 17 and cloud "(Chu) King Ling for Zhang Hua's platform and Wu Ju ascension, said: Tai Meifu? Said to it: I don't hear that it is beautiful with the noble carving of civil engineering. It is indicated that the platform is a richly decorated building. Therefore, ancient historians have already made the comment: "The high platform pavilion, the beautiful official room, with the sound of pride", reflects that it must be a high-standard building at that time, extremely tall and gorgeous, so the ruling class at that time, the so-called royal family was proud of building a high platform, in order to boast of their power and wealth.

However, since the Qin Dynasty, the records of the later Taiwan have gradually decreased, but the records of the palace have increased. Historical Records. Qin Shi Huang Benji said: "Every time Qin broke the princes, he wrote and imitated his official office, and made Xianyang in the north and Wei in the south." From the east of Yongmen to Jingwei, the palace house restores the Zhou Pavilion and belongs". It is only said here that the palace hall did not mention the platform, but a new pavilion appeared. The pavilion is the pavilion road, the elevated road, which indirectly indicates that many palaces and palaces are built on the high platform, so it is necessary to use the elevated road to connect to avoid the trouble of going up and down. It can also be proved that most of the palaces of the vassal states in the late Warring States period were built on high platforms. Although the documents after the Qin Dynasty no longer refer to this type of building as a platform, in essence, it was developed from a platform.

The building that Xie Meng, Wei Chiran and others are in at this moment is a city dominated by four high platforms, this architectural style is from the Warring States period at first glance, but in fact it is very different, that is to say, this underwater building only imitates the architectural style of the Warring States period, but the architectural pattern is very different.

After the torture was finished, he asked again: "Boss Xie, it's time for you to answer, what the hell is going on." ”

Xie Meng looked at the ceiling and said, "I originally wanted to keep it hidden." ”

Wei Chi didn't speak, after all, he had already guessed what was going on.

Hou Wan asked, "What are you hiding?" ”

Xie Meng continued: "My original plan was to pretend to grope after entering the water, and then lead you to the bottom, but under the premise that there is no way to communicate and no way to speak, I can't act anymore, I know very well that once I bring you here, the journey will be too smooth, and sooner or later you will be suspicious." ”

Yun Jian couldn't hold it back: "What are you hiding?" ”

Xie Meng sighed and said, "I've been here, and this is my second time." ”

Xie Meng's simple explanation did not make the torture and others eliminate the dissatisfaction in their hearts, after all, everyone knew that it was definitely not the first time she had come here, otherwise how could she be so familiar?

Xie Meng looked at Wei Chiran at this time and said, "You are really smart, you got a clue from my words yesterday, so, now I hope you can help me convince them." ”

Xie Meng's words caused Xingshu and the others to look at Wei Chiran, and Wei Chiran only understood at this time that Xie Meng was worried that after his identity was exposed, Xingshu, Yun Jian and Sima Qing would deal with him.

Wei Chiran and Hou Wan were not opponents of those three after all, and Xie Meng's move was obviously not to hurt Xingshu and the others, she wanted to convince them, so Wei Chiran could only answer: "I'll try my best." ”

"Thank you." Xie Meng chuckled, then looked at the torture technique and said, "I am the undercover agent sent to you by 517." ”
