Half an hour later, most of the clutter in the meditation room had moved outside.

Five people walked into the meditation room.

There is a large bunk that occupies one-third of the area of the meditation room against the inner wall, and a few broken straw mats are spread on the bunk. The broken straw mat was gnawed by rats, and there was a lot of rat droppings on the straw mat.

"The sound must be coming from here, and my pillow is on the other side of the wall." Master Chen pointed to the north side of the road, "The pillow I sleep on is on the other side of this wall." ”

The straw mat is uncovered from the left to the east, and the floor is laid underneath the straw mat.

Master Chen moved quickly, lifted the two paving boards, and leaned against the wall.

The underneath the plank was empty, the same as the bed in the meditation room where Jinghei used to live in the Western Zen Temple. The bed is covered with green bricks.

Chen Jie used a flashlight to carefully inspect each brick, including the gaps between the bricks and the bricks.

Ouyang Ping firmly believes that if there is a problem with this meditation room, the problem must be under the meditation bed. There may be a secret passage under the bed near the west wall that connects to the mountain, and there is no support on the other three walls, the north, south, and east walls. Earlier, the author once explained that the west wall of this meditation room is close to the mountain.

There is also some sediment on the bricks - a thin layer of soil, and there is no sign of loosening between the bricks and the bricks, and there is no sign of being pried into it.

Master Chen was so motivated that he brought a brick knife and climbed under the meditation bed, where another young craftsman also climbed in. Two people, one prying, one moving.

After picking up five green bricks, Master Chen used the grip of a brick knife to dig a few times underneath, and the soil underneath was underneath.

Ten minutes later, the master and apprentice pried up all the green bricks within one square meter. A craftsman brought a pickaxe and a shovel.

The apprentice digs with a shovel, and Master Chen uses a pickaxe to plan.

Everyone was very disappointed that the shovel had been dug to a depth of forty centimeters, but still did not find the secret passage that the comrades were looking for.

Master Chen wiped his sweat and panted at the same time, and several other craftsmen also straightened their waists, they were all tired and a little deflated.

Chen Jie climbed into the meditation bed, squatted at the mouth of the pit, and used a flashlight to shine back and forth at the bottom of the pit.

"Master Chen, how is the softness of the soil?"

Master Chen understood what Chen Jie meant: "It's brutal." "What Master Chen means is that the soil has not been touched.

"Master Chen, don't dig any further, you're already very tired, and it's not too early. Hard work masters. Ouyang Ping said.

"Captain Ouyang, I think - let's do it, let's dig two more shovels deep, it's really not good, we'll call it a day." Master Chen saw the disappointment on the faces of his comrades.

The depth of two spades is about 40 centimeters. Dig to 80 centimeters, if you can't dig anything again, there is really no need to dig down.

"Master, I've dug so deep, no matter how deep I dig, it's the result." A craftsman said, "We still have something to do tomorrow, the deadline is so tight." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, no matter how tight the deadline is, there is no shortage of time. Dig, dig two more shovels deep, and if there is no more result, we will sleep. ”

A few craftsmen buried their heads and got to work.

Han Lingling suddenly walked up to Ouyang Ping and Chen Jie and tugged at Ouyang Ping's sleeve with her hand.

"Han Lingling, what's the matter?

"Captain, someone's coming." Han Lingling pointed to the outside of the meditation room and whispered.

The light outside the meditation room suddenly brightened a lot—a beam of light and shadow was moving, and it was getting brighter and brighter.
