Just when Liu Cong attracted the attention of the other members of the team to the section of the building that resembled the city wall, the flare that slowly fell in mid-air was finally completely extinguished.

This time, without Chen Benzhong's words, a team member casually fired a second flare. For more than a minute when the flares burned, the eyes of the dozen or so people in the team did not take their eyes off that section of the wall.

Because the crack where this section of the city wall is located is located in the middle of the deep well, which is much lower than the crack where everyone is located, the rock on the upper part of the crack where the city wall is located blocks everyone's sight, making them not so real, and more than a dozen people can only guess that the section of the city wall should be a corner of the dragon vein underground palace.

It wasn't until the light of the second flare ran out and the deep well became dark again that a dozen people withdrew their gaze. At this time, Liu Cong waved his hand to the team member who fired the flare, meaning not to continue firing.

This time, the size of the team was not large, there was not much equipment carried, and there were not a few flares in total, so it was better to save a little use, and the effect of firing flares would not be much better, and everyone in the entire shaft had already seen what to see, and there would be no gain if they continued to look at it.

Without the third flare, many people shone their flashlights in the direction of that section of the wall. Probably accustomed to the strong light emitted by the flares, everyone felt that the beam of the flashlight was much darker than before, and that section of the city wall could not be seen clearly under the light of the flashlight.

Squatting on the edge of the crack, Chen Benzhong kept soaking the white stubble with his fingers, thinking carefully about something, and then he said softly: "Old guys, what do you think?" ”

"What to see, it couldn't be more obvious, it should be the Dragon Vein Underground Palace, don't waste time here, just go over and study it again." Chen Sanjin said as he rubbed the spikes in front of his steel shoes on the ground, making a rattling sound, looking at his action, he should be a little impatient.

"That's what I mean, let's go and see, it's better than let's talk about it here." Xu Yi tightened the strap of his backpack, and grabbed the sapper shovel firmly fixed to the backpack, seemingly ready to go.

"You two are still so impatient, so let's go over and have a look, but it doesn't seem easy to get over." Chen Benzhong stared at the mountain crack in the distance and said.

The diameter of the cross-section of the deep well is almost 150 meters, that is, the distance between the two cracks is more than 150 meters, and if you count the height difference, the straight-line distance between the people and that section of the city wall should be about 200 meters.

"I can see that the stone slabs that fell in the waterhole did not fall off on their own because of age, but were artificially made down after they were built here and completely closed.

As long as these slabs are destroyed, there is no way to control the water level in the deep well, and as you can see, the water level of the pool below is very low, and although there is water injected here, the amount of water injected is very small, basically the same as the amount of water flowing out of the pool.

The deep well, which was originally used to transport materials or personnel, turned into a defensive mechanism after removing these stone slabs, so that the people standing here could only look at the other side and sigh. ”

After Chen Benzhong said this, other people also felt that this was the truth. It is indeed not easy to go over such a long distance, especially in the period of the Qing Dynasty, there are not so many advanced tools, and the width of this deep well is almost like a moat, which directly blocks people who are interested in the Dragon Vein Underground Palace.

"Old man, why don't you let me try?" Chen Sanjin walked to the edge of the crack and checked the rock wall in the deep well, as if he had outlined a climbing route in his mind so that he could climb directly to the opposite side.

"Hmph, I don't need you to do it this time, the rock wall here is very slippery, although your ability is very great, but you can't keep the stones on these rock walls have become unstable after years of flowing water, maybe the inside of the rock wall is full of cracks, when you grasp these gravels, it is very likely to fall off.

In addition to considering that it is more dangerous to climb directly, there is another reason why I don't want you to pass, even if you pass alone, it is useless, there is no way to take us over.

If you tie a rope to you, the 200-meter-long rope is very heavy, and it will seriously hinder your movements, and even pull you down and fall into the pool below. ”

"It's really dangerous to climb from the side, I can climb over the top of the rock from above, and when I get to the opposite side, I can go down the rock wall, which is much safer."

"That doesn't work, there are a lot of iron bars interspersed among the rocks on the top of the rock, and these iron bars are placed there, which means that the top of the rock is not very strong in the first place, and needs to be reinforced with iron bars.

In addition, these iron bars have been used for so many years, and it is likely that many of them have rotted and cannot stand the force at all, and under your tugging, it is very likely to break from them. If these bars break, it may cause the top of the rock above to collapse, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

"Hmm." Chen Sanjin nodded, he had already thought about these when he was thinking about how he should climb over just now. Chen Sanjin felt that he was seven or eight points sure that he could climb along the rock wall to the opposite side, but he didn't even have a point of confidence in trying to get other people over.

"Hmph, this organ may indeed hinder a lot of people in the Qing Dynasty, but now the times are different, and they are very different! Cong'er, you come. ”

"Yes!" Hearing Chen Benzhong's words, Liu Cong waved his hand, and the three team members walked to the edge of the crack and got busy.

The first team member took out a small laser rangefinder and measured their distance to the opposite rock wall and the distance to the crack in the city wall. The other two team members held long ropes together.

While these team members were busy, Chen Ziyang was thinking about another thing, that is, how the person who left the footprints before passed here.

Judging from those footprints before, there is a person who came here alone, and his target should be the dragon vein dungeon in front of him, although everyone does not know the identity of this person for the time being, but one thing is very certain, this person knows the specific location of the dragon vein dungeon.

There was only one path from where the footprints were found to the edge of the crack, and although no other footprints were seen, it was clear that the man had not gone anywhere else at all, and should have come here.

Although the stone slabs in those pools have been soaked in water for many years and are very difficult to identify, Chen Ziyang can still see that those stone slabs have been soaked in water for more than a few decades, and they should have fallen into the waterhole after the construction of the Dragon Vein Underground Palace was completed, which is consistent with Chen Benzhong's speculation.

And the previous footprints were left decades ago, that is, when the person who left the footprints came to the place where everyone was standing, this deep well should have been like this. So how did this person get to the dragon vein dungeon on the other side?

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang turned around and looked at the pitch-black crack behind everyone, and an idea popped up in his mind.

Perhaps the function of this wide mountain crack is not only to transport the materials for the construction of the underground palace, as Chen Benzhong said, but it is very likely that this crack can also be directly connected to the outside.

This is also very understandable, in addition to protecting the dragon veins inside, this dragon vein dungeon also contains a lot of treasures, and these treasures are to be taken out, so the people who built the dungeon must have left a secret passage, from where they can directly enter the dungeon and take the treasures inside.

There is a very high probability that the other end of this mountain crack is hidden in a secret place, as long as you enter from there, you can come to the crack, follow the crack to the front of this deep well, and then use the deep well to reach the dragon vein dungeon on the opposite side.

Because the team came in from a small bifurcated crack in this wide crack, and did not probe the situation on the other side of this crack, it is unknown whether this is the case, but Chen Ziyang estimated that his guess was eight or nine.

Thinking about it this way, the identity of the person who left those footprints can also be roughly guessed, and that person is likely to be a descendant of the Qing imperial family, or a person who is very closely related to the descendants of the Qing imperial family.

As the top secret of the Qing Dynasty, the dragon vein is known to very few people, and it is very likely that only the emperors of the past dynasties know about the existence here. Even Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian, who learned the secret of the dragon vein from the mouth of Yongzheng, who was not sober back then, only knew the specific location of the dragon vein, and they didn't know how to enter the dragon vein at all, and what were the mechanisms in the dragon vein.

And from all kinds of signs, it is speculated that the person who left the footprints knows much more than Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian. Judging from the footprints, the person did not return, and there are no bones near here, and there is only one path at the same time, based on these factors, it can be concluded that the person who left the footprints should have arrived in the dragon vein dungeon on the opposite side.

Who could be a person who knows so much about the Great Qing Dragon Vein?

"The footprints left a few decades ago are the descendants of the Qing royal family, is it difficult to ...... Is this person Pu Yi? Pu Yi? By the way, it must be Pu Yi, it must be someone sent by Pu Yi! Chen Ziyang suddenly came to his senses.

When he met Chen Benzhong for the first time, Chen Ziyang and Chen Benzhong discussed for a long time, studying the treasure of the dragon vein of the Great Qing Dynasty.

After Pu Yi fled from Changchun, he came directly to the remote Dahetao Town in Linhai City, which is very intriguing.

Although it is said that Dahetao Town was an iron mine opened by the Japanese, the foundation is very good, which can ensure the safety of Puyi, and from there you can cross the Yalu River and go to Japan through the Eastern Dynasties, this seemingly reasonable escape route is very unreasonable.

At the time of the Great Walnut Town, Japan announced its unconditional surrender, and Pu Yi also announced his abdication, and the puppet emperor lost his value, so he was abandoned by the Japanese.

After Japan announced its surrender, the Japanese arranged for Pu Yi to go to Shenyang to take a special plane to Japan, but just as Pu Yi's plane was about to take off, the Soviet Red Army rushed into the airport and captured Pu Yi and Yoshioka Yasunao.

According to historians, this was deliberately arranged by the Japanese in order to put Pu Yi in the hands of the Soviet Red Army in order to obtain some convenient conditions for retreat. But thinking about it on the other hand, this exposes one thing, why didn't the Japanese let him fly directly from Changchun to Shenyang to Japan when they arranged for Pu Yi to escape?

Now it seems that there is an answer to this question, that is, Pu Yi has a reason why he has to go to Big Walnut Town, and this reason is the dragon vein treasure here.

Great Walnut Town was not too far from the Dragon Vein Treasure of the Great Qing Dynasty, and the last time Chen Ziyang came alone, it only took five or six days without knowing the specific location.

If he were to walk again now, he would probably be able to make a round trip in just two or three days with the help of a car, and most of that time would be spent on foot.

It seems that Pu Yi should have taken the initiative to go to Dahetao Town, so that he could use the local Japanese to ensure his safety, and at the same time, he could send people here to check the dragon vein treasures of the Qing Dynasty.

It is estimated that Pu Yi at that time wanted to make a comeback with the help of the treasures in the dragon vein treasure. Japan's defeat is already a sure thing, Pu Yi can't be unaware of this, maybe he knows that the Japanese are about to collapse, so he has already begun to think about his own way back.

Unfortunately, Japan's sudden surrender disrupted his plans, and Pu Yi was betrayed by the Japanese, and after that, he never had the opportunity to visit the Great Walnut Town to check out the Dragon Vein treasure.

Just when Chen Ziyang figured this out, several members of Liu Cong's team had already prepared, and a strange equipment like a mortar was erected on the edge of the cliff.

The pitch-black barrel was raised diagonally upwards, and in front of this barrel was a mortar shell-like warhead with a tail fin.

A rope was tied behind the tail of this warhead, and the rope passed through the pitch-black barrel, protruding from the butt of the barrel, and coiled a large pile underneath the barrel.

The pile of ropes was like a hill, but the ropes were coiled unconventionally, layer upon layer, wrapped in a circle, very neatly.

Seeing the overall structure of this equipment, Chen Ziyang understood, when the warhead was launched, it would pull the rope behind and fly forward, as long as the warhead launched the force was large enough, the warhead could hit the opposite mountain crack and bring this long rope directly over.
