The basement that was previously home to a large group of bats and filled with bat guano has now become brightly lit, as if it were daytime, even brighter than the Gothic building directly above!
This basement, which was originally smelly and disgusting, has been completely cleaned up by Ye Tian and others, and has been restored to its original appearance. It can even be said to be spotless.
In the past few hundred years, the endless darkness that has shrouded this place has been completely dispelled by the light. The previous dark and gloomy feeling has basically disappeared!
Ye Tian and Bishop Kent have been down to this basement for a while, and are now standing in front of the north wall of the basement, observing the situation on the wall.
As Ye Tian expected, this is indeed a water prison of the Knights Templar. Apart from the granite steps into the water prison, there is no other exit from this basement, not even a transom window.
The basement is about thirty square meters in area, which is a little larger than the basement above. The roof, floor, and four walls are all made of granite and concrete, which is very solid!
On the ceiling of the basement, which is about four meters high, there are three rows of rusty iron hooks nailed, and each iron hook corresponds to a burning stake on the floor that is as thick as an arm and about one and a half meters high!
Obviously, the iron hooks above are used to hang prisoners, and the burning stakes on the floor are used to tie prisoners. Although they are both covered with rust, they still make people shudder when they look at them!
Like the torture instruments in the upper basement, these hooks and stakes have been used only a limited number of times, or have never been used.
Their appearance is very regular and uniform, and there is no deformation or wear and tear caused by the painful struggle of the prisoners, unless the prisoners who were once locked up here were not in pain!
In addition to these torture instruments, there are also many mysterious symbols unique to the Knights Templar engraved on the walls and floors of the basement, more than found in any other place.
Many of these mysterious symbols are discovered for the first time.
Even a Vatican scholar who has done extensive research on the Knights Templar has never seen these mysterious symbols, let alone Ye Tian and the others!
Unfortunately, no one at the scene could decipher these mysterious symbols and had no idea of their specific meanings.
After entering here, Ye Tian did not immediately open the hidden secret room or secret passage. Instead, he took everyone to visit the basement and took pictures of everything here to keep as video material!
It is basically certain that today is not only the first time they have come to this basement and the first time they have seen everything here, but it is also very likely to be the last time.
Even if I have the opportunity to come here again in the future, I will come here to explore the Knights Templar treasure as a tourist, not as a treasure hunter.
After visiting the basement, Ye Tian led everyone to the north wall of the basement, preparing to reveal the secrets hidden in the basement.
He first turned his head and scanned the people around him, and then pointed his finger at the wall in front of him. .
On that wall, about one and a half meters above the ground, there was a gap less than one centimeter wide, extending straight up to the ceiling.
After extending upward for about two meters, the gap just disappeared. At the top of the gap was a whole block of granite, blocking the way to the gap.
Coincidentally, there is a mysterious symbol carved on each of the two pieces of granite at the upper and lower ends of the gap. I don’t know what it means!
Following the direction of Ye Tian's finger, Bishop Kent and Jason all looked towards the gap. Everyone was extremely excited and full of anticipation!
At the same time, Ye Tian's clear voice also reached everyone's ears.
"Have you seen this gap in the wall? This is a gap that I inadvertently made when I used a high-pressure water gun to wash the wall from top to bottom. I didn't think it was anything strange at first!
However, when I continued to wash the place with a high-pressure water gun, I found that the water flowed directly into the wall along the cracks, and did not flow out from below. The water seemed to be swallowed by the wall!
This is completely different from the situation in other places. As you can see, this basement is made of granite and concrete, and is used as a water cell. It has been specially treated with anti-seepage treatment so that water cannot splash in!
It was precisely because of this difference that aroused my suspicion. Then I continued to flush the gap with a high-pressure water gun. As expected, the gap became longer and longer, and the water swallowed up became more and more. many!
During this period, I also tried to flush out some other gaps, but did not achieve any results. Those places did not move at all. All the water rushing up the wall eventually flowed along the wall to the floor.
After that, I used other methods, such as tapping the two granite blocks adjacent to the gap, and using the feedback sound from the tapping to determine whether there was any secret hidden behind the wall.
After some testing, I can basically confirm that there is either a secret room behind this wall or a secret passage leading elsewhere, which may be related to the treasure of the Knights Templar that we are looking for! ”
As he spoke, Ye Tian raised his right hand and hit a piece of granite on the right side of the gap several times.
"Bang Bang"
A few muffled sounds were heard immediately, echoing in the basement.
This voice didn't sound like anything special, and Bishop Kent and Jason were a little confused.
Before they could say anything, Ye Tian clenched his fist and hit the granite on the left side of the gap, and several more muffled sounds were heard from the scene.
"Hey! There seems to be a slight difference between the sounds on the two sides. Relatively speaking, the sound made by the granite on the left is duller!"
Jason spoke up first, and he heard the subtle difference between the two knocks before and after.
Bishop Kent and the others also nodded, but they were still a little confused, and it was obvious that they did not hear clearly.
Ye Tian glanced at Jason, then nodded with a smile and said:
"Yes, the granite on the right is empty behind it, and the granite on the left is behind a solid wall, so the sounds they make are different!"
As he spoke, Ye Tian knocked a few more times to let everyone hear more clearly.
With his tips, everyone listened to the knocking sounds again and found the difference.
Immediately afterwards, everyone started a heated discussion.
"Wow! It seems that there is a secret room behind this wall, but I don't know what treasure is hidden in it. If it is really the treasure of the Knights Templar, that would be great!"
"Steven, how do we open this wall and enter the secret room hidden behind? One more thing, are there any traps set up by the Knights Templar here? It's better to be careful!"
While discussing, everyone was staring at the seemingly indestructible wall in front of them.
Everyone's eyes are extremely hot and scalding. They wish they could shoot two laser beams from their eyes, burn directly through the hard granite, and see clearly the secrets hidden behind the walls!
Ye Tianze smiled softly, and then continued:
"After discovering this gap and confirming that there was a secret room or secret passage hidden behind this wall, I carefully checked the basement used as a water cell and found no fatal mechanism.
This water prison is just a cover to hide from others. The Knights Templar may have never detained any prisoners here, and they have not set up any mechanisms here to avoid self-defeating!
In other words, there should be no danger for us to stay in this basement. I have also studied this Gothic building. Although it has a long history, there is no danger of it collapsing immediately!
If there is a trap, it will be behind this wall, at the entrance to the secret room or secret passage, or inside the secret room or passage. Don't worry until this wall is opened!
This place has been closed for more than seven hundred years, is very humid, and is home to a large number of bats. Even if the Knights Templar set up any deadly mechanisms, they have probably been scrapped long ago and cannot threaten everyone! ”
Hearing his words, Bishop Kent and the others nodded slightly in agreement, and the worry in their eyes also reduced a lot.
After a pause, Ye Tian continued:
"Although I estimate that there is no danger behind this wall, for the sake of safety, I do not intend to directly push or pry open this wall. I am afraid of anything unexpected, and safety is the most important thing!
I plan to drill a small hole in this piece of granite to penetrate the space behind the wall, and then use the endoscope to explore the situation behind the wall before taking the next step."
"This is a good method. Although it is time-consuming, it is very reliable and safe. There should be no accidents!"
Bishop Kent nodded and said, and the others also nodded.
Then, Ye Tian squatted down, opened a metal trolley box beside him, took out a hand-held drill from it, and was ready to start drilling holes!
He does not intend to do this job for others. He is most at ease only if he does it himself.
He was the only one on site, and he knew exactly what was going on behind the wall and where was the most appropriate place to drill holes.
"Woo——!"
As Ye Tian pressed the start button of the drilling rig, the sound of the motor rotating at high speed immediately sounded in the basement.
This sound is very harsh, but to everyone at the scene, it is like the sound of nature, extremely beautiful!
The next second, Ye Tian grasped the electric drill with both hands and extended the high-speed rotating drill bit towards the wall in front!
