Coming back from the Great Ci'en Temple, everyone was worried, and finally found a clue, but was blocked by granite more than three meters thick, and to open the mechanism, it was necessary to have a long-lost jade seal.

This is simply impossible to accomplish, it seems that the Ming Fourteenth Tomb is really close to the end of the world, obviously in front of you, but there is nothing you can do.

When I returned to the hotel and saw Liu Hao sitting in the lobby, my mood was a little better.

"What kind of wind has blown you here, is it that Brother Ting is worried that things are not going well, and sent you, the minister, to supervise, hehe."

"Look at what you said, don't be sarcastic about me, I'm just working hard, don't Brother Ting worry that you are a Sven, you can't do dirty work, you still have to come to me." Liu Hao smiled and put his arm around me and said.

When I returned to the room, I told Liu Hao about the progress of the matter, who knew that Liu Hao smiled lightly.

"I thought it was difficult, look at a few of you who are in a hurry, how strong the guards can be in this Great Temple of Mercy and Grace, I will take people into it overnight tomorrow, not to mention a dungeon, even if it is a bank vault, I will dig it out for you."

"More than three meters thick granite, you can take people into this, I believe, but the digging movement in it is so big, you are a monk of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple are all deaf." I shook my head and said.

"Don't make a sound, it's simple, you can't dig inside, we can't dig from below, you can't dig the granite three meters thick, and you can't dig the soil underground?" Liu Hao said disapprovingly.

"You should be a tunnel war, there are no drawings, there are no landmarks, you just dig casually, and when you dig through, you may show up, and what is waiting for you is the police." Yue Qianling said weakly.

People with simple ideas often think about problems simply, but sometimes simple solutions are the most practical.

My eyes lit up, and I walked back and forth around the room a few times, saying thoughtfully.

"This idea may seem whimsical, but it is still possible!"

"You...... You don't really want to dig tunnels, do you?! Yue Qianling said angrily.

Qiu Nuo suddenly smiled next to him and said.

"There is no need to dig tunnels, the drainage system of the city of Jingzhao has been following the prototype of the drainage system of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, and there is also a drainage system under the Great Ci'en Temple, as long as we find a place, this method is really feasible."

After discussing this plan proposed by Liu Hao with others, it can really be operated theoretically, but there are a few things missing, one is the current drainage system drawings of Jingzhao and the construction drawings of the Great Ci'en Temple.

The previous Liu Hao wrapped it on his body without saying a word, saying that he would definitely get it at noon tomorrow.

As for the architectural drawings for the second Great Temple of Mercy and Grace, this one is tricky, but Qiuno says she can figure it out.

At noon the next day, when Liu Hao proudly put the Jingzhao drainage system drawings on the table, I was not surprised, and it was not a matter that money could solve this year.

When Qiuno laid a yellowed roll of paper on the table, I was dumbfounded and laughed and cried.

"This ...... This shouldn't have been picked up from your Aunt Qingyang again? ”

"I was also trying my luck, I didn't expect her to have it there."

The yellowing of the drawings indicates that they are old, but the drawings are clean, and there is no other text except for the buildings drawn, and at a glance you know that this is the final drawing, and the seal in the lower left corner is clear and eye-catching.

Produced by Fan Zhong, the head of the household!

This attached drawing is like a daughter, this should be the original drawing of the construction of the Great Ci'en Temple, Qiu Nuo was able to find it from Qingyang, I am more and more interested in this Qingyang, she always gives me countless surprises, and every time it is different.

After comparing the Gyeongzhao underground drainage drawings with the original architectural drawings of the Daci'en Temple, I quickly found the best place to excavate.

Liu Hao is responsible for arranging manpower, and the stakes are very high, and he is afraid of leaking the news, and the people who are responsible for digging are all trusted henchmen brought by Liu Hao from Rongcheng.

Just in case, I arranged for Qiu Nuo and Yue Qianling to accompany Gu Anqi to the Great Ci'en Temple again, Gu Anqi is now a distinguished guest of the Great Ci'en Temple, and no one doubts it when it comes and goes, in case something happens, there is also a care.

The actual excavation was scheduled three days later, and I deliberately looked at the weather forecast, and there was heavy rain on this day, so that I could hide the sound of the excavation.

Things went more smoothly than expected, and the original plan was that it might take a long time to dig to reach the bottom of the underground palace, but I didn't expect to dig on the third day, and I found the bluestone slab in the excavated soil.

I have seen this kind of bluestone slab in the underground palace, which means that it has been dug under the underground palace.

Liu Hao immediately called someone to bring the cutting machine, the bluestone slab is too big, if the whole piece is excavated, it will take a lot of effort and a long time, and it is most convenient to cut it directly with a cutting machine.

When the cutter sawed the bottom layer of bluestone slabs, suddenly the person in charge of cutting inside turned off the machine and said in a low voice.

"Brother Hao, come and see, there is something left from above."

"Damn, you can let it flow out of it, and it's over when you cut yours." Liu Hao ignored it.

I thought about it next to me, the waterproof room in this dungeon should be the same as that of the dungeon, there is no water to seep in, since there is no water, how can something flow out.

"Stop, don't move." I had a vague sense that something was wrong.

The cat crawled to the innermost part of the tunnel and calmly asked the person in charge of cutting.

"What's coming out?"

"I don't know, I can't see clearly, but it doesn't quite look like water."

I stretched out my hand and touched the gap in the bluestone slab on my head a few times, there was indeed something leaking, like some kind of liquid but very smooth, slowly moving outside, Liu Hao turned on the flashlight, I was surprised at first glance.

"Mercury!"

"Don't make a fuss, I've dug a lot of graves, and it's normal for mercury to be in the tombs, usually for embalming."

"You're talking about tombs, mercury is used for embalming, but this is a secret room, not a mausoleum, mercury is used...... What are you doing with mercury......" I took a deep breath and suddenly raised my head and shouted. "Stop, stop digging, fill in the soil that was dug up intact!"

My expression was very serious and eager, Liu Hao saw that he had already dug into the secret room immediately, and suddenly shouted that he would not dig it, and he had to fill it back.

"Yan Hui, what is this for, it is all a success, and now I have lost all my efforts."

"There is mercury seeping out of the secret room, this is a kind of anti-theft mechanism, this is called a thousand silver top, between the foundation and the secret room with a very thick layer of mercury partition, so as to prevent someone from digging from below, Zhu Yuanzhang seems to think of being afraid that someone will find another way, so he used this anti-theft method, if you dig again, the entire secret room will collapse, and we will also be buried alive in it!"

As soon as Liu Hao heard that the situation was serious, he hurriedly backfilled it according to my instructions, I was somewhat remorseful, and I saw that I was about to get it, but I really underestimated Zhu Yuanzhang, how could this emperor, who had always been suspicious by nature, be so careless and not think about this.

There was no point in staying here, I just wanted to go out and take a breath, and as soon as I stepped out of the sewer, I saw a man leaning in front of the car and smoking a cigarette nonchalantly.

It was somewhat surprising to see Wei Yong here, but it was not surprising to think about it, since Wei Yong handed over the Ming Fourteenth Tomb to me to find, how could my every move not be under his control.

"I didn't expect Secretary Wei to have a lot of opportunities and time to come to Jingzhao, and it was even more coincidental that he found me so quickly." I patted the dirt on my body and said lightly.

"In the past few days, I heard that there are a lot of strange things in Jingzhao, and even the real body relics of the Buddha have appeared, so I also came to join in the fun." Wei Yong spat out a puff of smoke and said disapprehantly. "It's great to see you again, otherwise I'll have to think about it in the long run."

Wei Yong made a pun, I understood it, raised my head and asked in surprise.

"Secretary Wei is worried that he will never see me again?"

"Of course." Wei Yong smiled and looked at the watch on his wrist. "I just thought, if you don't come out at this point, I'm afraid I won't see you again in the future, hehe."

"You...... Did you know there's mercury underneath the chamber?! I asked, a little surprised.

"The Big Wild Goose Pagoda began to tilt during the Kangxi period, after three hundred years, until now the tilt span of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda can be distinguished by the naked eye, so the country has organized rescue maintenance, at the beginning experts have always believed that the culprit is the excessive exploitation of groundwater, resulting in the sinking of the tower base, but in the process of excavation and restoration, it was found that there is mercury seepage in the soil layer, so the project was stopped immediately, after exploration, with the underground palace as the center, the foundation around fifty meters is buried with a large amount of mercury, and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is just in it!"

"Since you know that there is mercury in the ground floor, and you know that I am digging underneath, don't you know what the consequences will be?" I asked angrily.

"Of course I do!" Wei Yong smiled lightly. "First of all, it will cause a large-scale collapse of the Great Ci'en Temple, and many important cultural relics and monuments will be destroyed, of course...... You'll be buried here! ”

"Since you know it's so dangerous, why didn't you inform me in advance?"

"I need a smart person who can help me find the Ming Tombs, why should I notify a stupid and lucky person." Wei Yong slowly put away his smile and said coldly. "If you die in it today, it will only be one less person in this world who knows my secret, and at the same time, let me know that you are not the person who can find the Ming Fourteenth Tomb as I expected, no matter how you look at it, it seems that there is no loss to me."

I felt a chill in my back, although Wei Yong said it bluntly and coldly, but in fact I was really careless about the whole thing, if it wasn't for the discovery of mercury, the consequences would be unimaginable.

I took a deep breath and asked with a blank face.

"Since I'm still alive, Secretary Wei can wait, it's not too late to collect my body next time."

"Hehe, since I can still see you, it means that you are still a smart person, so I will tell you something."

"What's the matter?"

"How to enter the secret room of the underground palace!"
