Chapter 2758： Step by step

At the entrance of the secret passage at the bottom of the pit, Ye Tian gently wiped away the dust and moss on the first step of the spiral staircase and the walls on both sides with a towel, pretending to carefully check the situation.

Then, he said aloud:

"Guys, there are no traps at the entrance of this spiral staircase. It looks safe and you can enter with confidence. As for the situation in the deeper part of the secret road, you can only explore step by step.

Peter, Derek, you just have to follow me. Remember, you must step on my footsteps and don't act without permission. I don't want to see any accidents happen.

Before entering the unknown space behind the stone gate, your task is very simple, that is, to arrange lighting fixtures to thoroughly illuminate the spiral staircase designed by Leonardo! "

"Understand, Steven, we know what to do and we will never act without authorization"

Peter and Derek, who were standing in the pit above, responded in unison, and let out a sigh of relief, somewhat relaxed.

The two of them were going to follow Ye Tian to explore this secret road from Leonardo da Vinci's hands and the underground space in the depths of the secret road, and they were naturally a little worried.

At this time, the corridor in the basement had been taken over by David and Matisse with a few armed security team members. No one could approach it without Ye Tian's permission.

Representatives of all parties, including the Bishop of Kent and Giovanni, as well as a few experts and scholars, can only stay at both ends of the corridor and look towards this side.

Of course, the reason why Ye Tian made such an arrangement was for safety reasons. He didn't want to let others cut the way when he was competing with Da Vinci deep underground in time and space!

Especially with the many Italians on the scene, those guys' eyes have long been red, so I have to guard against it!

And above this deep pit in the middle of the corridor, a combined winch has been set up and a safety rope has been tied to ensure the safety of Ye Tian and the others.

In the following exploration process, if Ye Tian and the others are in danger, Matisse and others who are staying in the pit can immediately use the safety rope to pull them out of the secret road directly.

After inspecting the steps and walls at the entrance of the secret passage, after confirming that there was no danger, Ye Tian picked up the heavy police shield set aside, blocked it in front of him, and stepped onto the first step, along the stairs Go down.

"boom"

It was the heavy police shield that first landed on the granite steps, which made a muffled noise.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian also stepped onto the first step and truly entered the secret road built by Da Vinci.

Nothing changed, no deadly javelins or crossbow arrows shot out, no venom splashes, and no traps such as **** or rolling stones.

Seeing this scene, David and the others gathered in the pit, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Next, Ye Tian picked up the heavy police shield again and fell to the second step.

The police shield fell, and his footsteps followed immediately, still nothing happened.

At the same time, Peter and Derek, who were staying at the mouth of the pit, also acted.

They each carried a mountaineering bag, tied a safety rope, and brought a lot of exploration equipment, lighting fixtures and wires, and went down to the bottom of the pit one after another.

The first time they got to the bottom of the pit, they had arranged two lights here to illuminate the bottom of the pit as if it were day, and it was extremely bright.

While speaking, Ye Tian had already walked down four or five steps and came to the first bend of this spiral staircase.

When he reached this point, he stopped, turned his head and looked at the candlestick embedded in the No. 0 stone pillar.

As seen on the drone monitoring screen before, this is a Renaissance-style stone candlestick, which is quietly placed in an alcove and connected to the No. 0 stone pillar. It cannot be taken out unless it is sawn off. !

Ye Tian naturally didn't bother to do such a thing. He didn't reach out to touch the candlestick. He just took advantage of the light from the headlight to appreciate this antique cultural relic up close. .

After admiring the candlestick, he turned his head again and looked at the marble statue on the diagonally opposite wall.

Like this candlestick, the marble knight statue is also an antique art in the Renaissance style, but it is more exquisite, more artistic and collectible, and is a pretty good antique cultural relic.

Ye Tian still just admired, and didn't reach out to touch it, as if he didn't want to be out of touch with it!

In fact, he knows better than anyone that this candlestick and marble sculpture are pure antique cultural relics. They are not deadly traps, and there are no secrets hidden behind them.

It is a pity that neither the candlestick nor the statue of the knight was carved by Leonardo himself. It should be the work of the craftsman who built it and another artist at that time, otherwise they will be more valuable!

After admiring these two pieces of Renaissance-style antique art, Ye Tian took the towel hung on the inner handle of the police shield and gently wiped a few times on the wall next to the marble knight statue.

With his movements, the dust and moss attached to this wall were immediately wiped away, exposing the granite wall below.

On this wall, there is a mural, the content of which is a war scene.

One of the people in the battle was the Milan army under the command of the Sforza family, and the Sforza family's double-headed snake banner was extremely conspicuous.

The other side of this war was the army of another principality in Italy at that time, and the other side was also flying the banner of his own family!

In addition, there are several lines of Latin engraved on the side of this mural, which should introduce the war.

Seeing this mural and text, Ye Tian couldn't help laughing softly.

Undoubtedly, these are also valuable antique cultural relics, with high historical research value, as well as a certain artistic value and collection value!

Next, he pretended to carefully check the surrounding situation.

Here, he did not find any traces of organ traps, there was not even a shooting hole on the walls and ceiling, and there were no traps such as **** on the steps under his feet.

After confirming his safety, he smiled and said loudly:

"Peter and Derek, you can come down now. There are no traps in the first half of this spiral staircase, and even the entire spiral staircase is the same. The first test we face should be the stone gate!"

After speaking, Ye Tian picked up the heavy police shield again and continued to walk down the stairs, still acting very cautiously, step by step.

Peter and Derek responded in unison, and immediately entered this ancient secret path.

As they entered, the spiral staircase suddenly became brighter, even far beyond the basement above, and bright lights illuminated it like daylight.

The exploration continued, and Ye Tian and the three of them walked down the spiral staircase and gradually walked into the depths of the ground in a muffled sound after another.

As Ye Tian expected, there were no deadly traps on this spiral staircase, and it was very safe.

Why Da Vinci did this is not known. Perhaps this is just a bait he released to lure the intruder into the ground and relax his guard.

The stone gate located deep underground was the first meal he prepared for later intruders, and the test really started from there!

During the journey, Ye Tian saw several candlesticks embedded in the wall and several marble statues of different sizes, also embedded in the wall.

As before, he just admired these antique artifacts created in the Renaissance, and did not rashly reach out to touch them, nor wipe the dust and moss on these antique artifacts.

On the No. 0 stone pillar surrounded by the spiral staircase, and on the outer wall, there are still some murals and texts, including religious stories, myths and legends, and the history of the Sforza family.

For these murals and texts, Ye Tian also skimmed past, and did not spend too much time and energy to study, now is not the time!

It didn't take long before Ye Tian had come to the bottom of this spiral staircase and stood in front of the heavy and unusual stone gate.

When he walked here, he quickly scanned the space and determined that there were no traps, before he began to study the stone gate in front of him and the No. 1 stone pillar standing next to the stone gate.

As for the legendary Da Vinci cryptex, he did not rush to study it, but put it at the end.

After another two or three minutes, Peter and Derek also went down to the bottom, standing on the last step of the spiral staircase, watching everything here with excitement.

With their arrival this space located deep underground suddenly becomes brighter.

Ye Tian, ​​standing in front of the stone gate, looked back at these two guys, then pointed to the granite stone pillar beside him and said:

"Peter, Derek, this is the No. 1 stone pillar that should have stood on the ground. Its location corresponds to the upper left corner of the one-square-meter square in the corridor, which is not bad at all!

Da Vinci hid this granite stone pillar deep in the basement to support the space in front of the stone door. He did this for another purpose, which is to mislead everyone."

Following the direction of his fingers, Peter and Derek saw the Arabic numeral engraved on this granite pillar at a glance, 1!

And this number is very well preserved. After Ye Tian wiped it off, it looked like it had been engraved just now!
