For a pit of less than one square meter, the further down you dig, the smaller the space.

Half an hour later, the depth of the pit had reached two-thirds of the shovel handle, and Ouyang Ping visually measured that the depth of the pit was at least seventy or eighty centimeters.

You can't dig any further.

Ouyang Ping looked at his watch, the time was a quarter past twelve.

Chen Jie stood at the mouth of the pit and dragged Liu Dayu out of the pit.

Liu Dayu's feet had just stood firm on the edge of the dirt pit, when he suddenly heard a low voice, and when he looked down, it turned out that the soil under Chen Jie's right foot had collapsed, and Liu Dayu and Master Chen grabbed Chen Jie's left hand.

Han Lingling suddenly shouted: "Captain, look-"

At this time, the beam of Han Lingling's flashlight pointed directly at the north of the soil pit, revealing a brick wall where the soil collapsed.

"How can there be a brick wall under the foundation?" Ouyang Ping muttered to himself.

"I'll take a look." Master Chen walked up to Chen Jie and Ouyang Ping and looked at the place where the flashlight beam was pointing.

"Master Chen, what do you think?"

Master Chen took the shovel from a craftsman's hand and dug up a part of the soil: "There should not be this wall under the foundation, there must be a famous hall underneath." Providence! This is probably the Buddha helping you in secret. ”

A few craftsmen are back in the works.

Master Chen dug up the soil on the south side of the pit, and when the shovel reached 20 centimeters, the same brick wall was revealed.

The width between the two brick walls is about 1.3 meters.

Under the command of Master Chen, several workers dug up all the soil between the two brick walls.

Twenty minutes later, a rectangular space about 1.3 meters wide and about 1.5 meters long appeared in front of everyone's eyes, which was obviously the entrance to a secret passage.

Three craftsmen jumped into the pit.

Five minutes later, the head of the shovel in Erzhuzi's hand touched something hard, and judging by the sound, it was either a brick or a stone.

The second pillar scraped a layer of soil three or four centimeters thick with a shovel, and the sound of the shovel head scraping against the hard object was very harsh.

The beam of the flashlight in Han Lingling's hand followed, and a flat stone slab appeared in front of everyone, the position of the stone slab was on the east side of the rectangular space, the width of the stone slab was about twenty centimeters, and the two ends of the stone slab were still buried in the soil, so its length was not known yet.

Master Chen asked someone to bring a flashlight, the light is too dark, there are two flashlights, the light will be better.

There was still some soil on the west side of the slate, and the two pillars dug up the soil on the west side of the slate, and after a few minutes, another slate was exposed. The second slab is about twenty centimeters lower than the first, and it is exactly the same width as the first.

"Captain Ouyang, this should be a stone step, there must be a secret room underneath. My ears heard it right, last night, someone was busy here all night, and there was so much earthwork that one person couldn't do. They wanted to seal the exit of the secret passage with earth. ”

"Master, fortunately, we continued to dig, but I didn't expect that there was a big secret hidden in this meditation room."

"Yes! When we first entered the monastery, they deliberately piled up a lot of miscellaneous items in the meditation room and locked the door, fearing that we would discover the secrets under the meditation bed. At that time, I once told Abbot Huijue that there were so many of us, and there were a few women, living in two meditation rooms, which was crowded and inconvenient. But the abbot of Huijue said that he could only vacate these two meditation rooms for us to live in. She also said that there were some important ritual artifacts in this meditation room, and now, we have all seen it, and it is all some rags. ”
