Chapter 1827： The secret behind the wall

The basement that was inhabited by large groups of bats and piled with bat dung before has become brightly lit, like daylight, brighter than the Gothic building directly above!

This basement, which was originally foul-smelling and disgusting, had long been cleaned up by Ye Tian and the others, restored to its original appearance, and could even be said to be spotless.

In the past few hundred years, the endless darkness that has been shrouding here has been completely dispelled by the light. The gloomy and gloomy feeling before has basically disappeared!

Ye Tian and Bishop Kent have been in this basement for a while, and they are now standing in front of the north wall of the basement, observing the conditions on the wall.

As Ye Tian expected, this is indeed a water prison of the Knights Templar. Except for the granite steps that enter the water prison, there is no other exit from this basement, not even a transom.

The area of ​​the basement is about 30 square meters, which is a bit larger than the basement above. The roof, ground, and four walls are all made of granite and concrete, which is very strong!

Three rows of rusty iron hooks are nailed to the ceiling of the basement, which is about four meters high, and each hook corresponds to a stake on the floor with an arm's thickness and a height of about 1.5 meters!

Obviously, the iron hooks above are used to hang prisoners, and the stakes on the floor are used to bind prisoners. Although they are covered with rust, they still make people shudder!

Like the torture instruments in the upper basement, these iron hooks and stakes have been used quite limitedly or have never been used.

Their appearance is unconventional and uniform, and there is no deformation or wear caused by the prisoner's painful struggle, unless the prisoner who has been locked here is not in pain!

In addition to these instruments of torture, the walls and ground of the basement are also engraved with many mysterious symbols unique to the Knights Templar, more than any other place.

Many of these mysterious symbols were discovered for the first time.

Even a Vatican scholar who has studied the situation of the Knights Templar has never seen these mysterious symbols, let alone Ye Tian!

Unfortunately, no one at the scene was able to interpret these mysterious symbols and did not know their specific meaning.

After entering here, Ye Tian didn't immediately open the hidden secret room or secret passage, but took everyone to visit the basement, and took all the conditions here and kept it as video material!

It is basically certain that today is not only the first time they came to this basement, the first time they saw everything here, but also the last time.

Even if you have the opportunity to come here again in the future, you will come here to explore the treasures of the Knights Templar as a tourist, not as a treasure hunter.

After visiting this basement, Ye Tian led everyone to the north wall of the basement, ready to uncover the secrets hidden in this basement.

He first turned his head and scanned the people around him, then pointed his finger to the wall in front of him. .

At a height of about one meter and five meters above the ground on that wall, there was a gap less than one centimeter wide, extending straight to the ceiling.

Extending upwards for about two meters, the gap disappeared. At the top of the gap was a whole piece of granite, blocking the path of the gap.

Coincidentally, on the two pieces of granite at the upper and lower ends of this gap, a mysterious symbol is engraved on each. I don't know what it means!

Following the direction of Ye Tian's finger, the Bishop of Kent and Jason all looked at the gap, and everyone was extremely excited and full of expectations!

At the same time, Ye Tianqinglang's voice also reached everyone's ears.

"Do you see this gap in the wall? This is a gap that I accidentally rushed out when I used a high-pressure water gun to wash this wall from top to bottom. At first, I didn't think it was any strange!

However, when I continued to wash this place with a high-pressure water gun, I found that the water flowed directly into the wall along the gap, and did not flow out from below. The water flow seemed to be swallowed by this wall!

This is completely different from the situation in other places. As you can see, this basement is made of granite and concrete, and it is used as a water prison. It has been specially treated with anti-seepage treatment so that water can not enter!

It was this difference that caused my suspicion, and then I continued to flush this gap with a high-pressure water gun. As expected, the gap became longer and longer, and the flow of water swallowed more and more!

During the period, I also tried to wash some other gaps, but no results were achieved. Those places remained motionless, and all the water that washed up on the walls eventually flowed down the walls to the floor.

After that, I used other methods, such as tapping on two adjacent pieces of granite in this gap, and judging whether there is any secret behind the wall by tapping the feedback sound.

After some tests, I can basically confirm that there is either a secret room behind this wall, or there is a secret tunnel leading to other places, maybe it has something to do with the treasures of the Knights Templar we are looking for! "

With that said, Ye Tian raised his right hand and smashed it **** the piece of granite on the right side of the gap.

"Boom"

A few muffled noises came out immediately, echoing in this basement.

This voice didn't seem to sound special, and both Bishop Kent and Jason were a little confused.

Before they could say anything, Ye Tian clenched his fist and smashed the granite on the left side of the gap, and there were several muffled noises.

"Hey! The sounds on the two sides seem to be a little different. Relatively speaking, the sound from the granite on the left is a bit more dull!"

Jason spoke first, and he heard the subtle difference between the two knocks.

The Bishop of Kent also nodded their heads, but they were still somewhat confused, obviously not listening very real.

Ye Tian glanced at Jason, then smiled and nodded and said:

"Yes, behind the granite on the right is empty, and behind the granite on the left is a solid wall, so they make different sounds!"

With that said, Ye Tian tapped a few more times to make everyone hear more clearly.

With his prompt, everyone listened to these percussive sounds again, and sure enough, they found the difference.

Immediately afterwards, everyone had a lively discussion.

"Wow! It seems that there is a secret room behind this wall, but I don't know what treasure is hidden inside. If it is really a treasure of the Knights Templar, it would be great!"

"Steven, how do we open this wall and enter the secret room hidden behind? One more thing, is there any mechanism set up by the Knights Templar here? It's better to be careful!"

While discussing, everyone stared at the seemingly indestructible wall ahead.

Everyone's eyes are extremely hot and hot. I wish they could shoot two lasers in their eyes and burn them directly through the hard granite to see the secrets hidden behind the walls!

Ye Tian smiled softly, and then said:

"After discovering this gap and confirming that there is a secret room or secret passage hidden behind this wall, I carefully checked this basement used as a water prison, and did not find any deadly organs.

This dungeon is a cover for people's eyes. Perhaps the Knights Templar have never held any prisoners here, and they have not set up any institutions here, so as not to be self-defeating!

In other words, if we stay in this basement, there should be no danger. I also studied this Gothic building. Although it has a long history, it is not in danger of collapsing immediately!

If there is a mechanism, then it is also behind this wall, at the entrance of the secret room or secret passage, or inside the secret room and passage, before opening this wall, don't worry for now!

It has been closed for more than seven hundred years, and it is very humid, and there are a lot of bats. Even if the Knights Templar set up any deadly mechanism, it is estimated that it has long been scrapped and will not threaten everyone! "

Hearing his words, the Bishop of Kent nodded their heads slightly, expressing agreement, and the worry in their eyes was reduced a lot.

After a short pause, Ye Tian continued:

"Although I don't think there is any danger behind this wall, for the sake of safety, I don't plan to push or pry open this wall directly. I'm afraid of everything, safety is the most important thing!

I am going to make a small hole in this piece of granite to pass through the space behind the wall, and then use the endoscopic probe to detect the situation behind the wall, and then proceed to the next step."

"This method is goodAlthough it is time-consuming, it is very safe and secure. There should be no accidents!"

Bishop Kent nodded and said, and the others nodded.

After that, Ye Tian squatted down, opened a metal trolley box next to him, and took out a handheld drill from it, ready to start drilling!

He didn't intend to fake his hands for this job, he was most relieved only by doing it himself.

He was the only person at the scene, and he knew exactly what was going on behind the wall and where the holes were most appropriate.

"Woo!"

As Ye Tian pressed the start button of the drilling rig, the sound of the high-speed motor was immediately heard in the basement.

The sound was very harsh, but everyone at the scene heard it like a natural sound, very beautiful!

In the next second, Ye Tian clasped the electric drill with both hands, and stretched the high-speed rotating drill towards the wall in front!
