Chapter 5: The Secret Passage

The guide that Chi Yan found was called Stygian Sun, with a black and white cross around his neck, and his handsome facial features attracted attention even in the crowd, especially his purple eyes, and the temperament of the whole person, just like his name, was like the sun of the underworld.

Mingyang booked four presidential suites in the best hotel in 'Jingsu Town', Mingyang and I had a single room, and Pei Yilin and the two of them had a double room. The style here is dominated by the style of European aristocracy, but it makes people feel very comfortable in this luxury. The glass in the rooms of this hotel is the kind that you can see from the inside and you can't see the inside from the outside, and my room is facing the street, so you can clearly see the outside scene, and the whole style is exactly what I like.

This 'Xiu Town' is a town that combines modern and retro, modern architecture, old style, style, and ......

After tidying up our things, it was already evening, and it was time for dinner, and when we were about to eat, we began to discuss how to act, because it was a private room, and the sound insulation effect was the best, so we didn't have any scruples.

"This time we are handling this matter in the name of the government, which can be much more convenient. The Stygian Sun directly stated their decision.

"After the problem is solved, it can also help Chiyan earn a good reputation. Scarlet said heartlessly.

The others didn't answer, just smiled, and acquiesced to Styx's words.

After dinner, I walked around, but I found that this hotel is different, that is, the leisure and entertainment area of this hotel, which is a huge, transformed forest park, many towering ancient trees, and many rare flowers, but not because of many flowers, and the smell is strong and unpleasant, but a faint, mixed floral fragrance. Although this forest park has been renovated, it is also renovated on the basis of the original of this forest park, and has not destroyed the original state of this forest park, from these aspects, the owner of this hotel is a very careful person, but also very fond of the environment, but also a person who will enjoy, but also very shrewd. After the walk, a few of us went back to our rooms to rest, preparing for tomorrow's work.

Early the next morning, I took my prepared things and went to a nearby ancient well to start inspecting them. Most of the ancient wells had dried up and were already steaming hot, and there was even a spitting fire, and the last well, although damp, had no water. In the end, it was decided that I, Pei Yilin, and Le Xuan would go to the bottom of the well to inspect, and Bai Shenghuang, Scarlet Thunder, and Styx Yang would answer on it, just in case. After deciding on the decision, I redistributed my luggage, and in addition to enough food and self-defense weapons, I also brought oxygen tanks and simple diving equipment in case I couldn't walk when there was water.

Go down at the first well that forms the pattern of the Pleiades of wells. When I got to the bottom of the well, it was pitch black, and when I turned on the miner's lamp on my head, the whole bottom of the well lit up, and the walls of the well were covered with moss. After turning around at the bottom of the well, it was found that there was a passage, which seemed to have been excavated on the basis of this natural hole, and judging from the thick moss on the mouth of the well and the wall of the well, the age of the well was not too short, it must have exceeded a thousand years, and from the outside of the well, the well was only a few hundred years old. Combining these two points, there are only two possibilities: one is that someone discovered this passage hundreds of years ago, and the water resources are abundant, so they opened a well nearby, and several others did the same, but did not find the connection;

"Do you want to go up, discuss with them, or continue walking?" Although Le Xuan is usually a ruffian, at this time, he will definitely not mess around.

"Keep walking, and if something doesn't go wrong, turn back immediately. "At this time, I will only make such decisions, if it is other decisions, not to mention that they will be surprised, they will be suspicious, they will not believe it, even I will not believe it.

"Let's go. Pei Yilin said two words expressionlessly.

This secret passage is not big, just as wide as a person, and there is room to turn around, this secret passage is not very straight, but it is not the kind of crooked, and the ground is not the kind of potholes because it is soaked in water all year round, so it is not difficult to walk.

By the light of the miner's lamp on his head, he observed the road conditions and looked at the walls on both sides, although he had been soaked in water for a long time and covered with some moss, he could still see that there were paintings on the walls, but they had been soaked in water, so they had faded.

"Wait a minute, take a closer look at the wall, it looks like something is written on it. "When I stopped, I told them to stop and see.

"Judging by the extent of the corrosion of this fresco, it is not difficult to see that these are more than a thousand years old. The paintings are corroded and some are covered in moss, but they are still recognizable. Pei Yilin also quickly saw the relationship here.

"Looking at the records of these paintings, it seems that there are some things in the Zhou Dynasty. "Look at the paintings on the walls, and the age of this secret passage, and make a bold guess.

"What you mean is that this secret passage may have been from the Zhou Dynasty, but after thousands of years of changes, there was stagnant water in the secret passage, and over the years, the entire secret passage was full of water, so no one found it. Le Xuan was a little unconvinced.

"It depends on what else can be proved in this secret passage. ”

It took most of the day to walk through the entire secret passage, and the entire secret passage was like the pattern of the jingsu (xiu), and the walls were painted with paintings, all about the Zhou Dynasty.

"After walking for most of the day, I found nothing but the paintings on the walls. Le Xuan was a little impatient.

"Not necessarily. Pei Yilin said coldly.

"That's right. It would take at least two to three years to build such a secret passage, and it would cost a lot of money. It is impossible for ordinary people to do this. If it is a nobleman, an official or a wealthy merchant who wants to build such a secret passage, just to avoid disasters and escape, then they don't need to go to such great lengths. "I can't figure out the existence of this secret passage.

"If this secret passage exists, can't it be somewhat similar to the Mogao Grottoes?" or is there a mechanism?"

"The possibilities are high. I replied without hesitation.

The murals here tell about some things that could not be known at that time and some secret things in the royal family and nobles at that time.
