Chapter 120
Early the next morning, Fan Jiannan and Cang Yunxiao set off for Chunqiu Yancheng in Wujin.

The Chunqiu Yancheng ruins, covering an area of ​​500 hectares, have a history of more than [-] years, and archaeological confirmation is that it was built during the Spring and Autumn Period.It is the most complete and oldest ground city site preserved from the Spring and Autumn Period in my country.

And pity, like other slightly famous places.A series of man-made monuments have also been built here.Open to the outside world Yancheng Traditional Commercial Neighborhood, Yancheng Chunqiu Relics Park, Yancheng Wildlife World, Chunqiu Yancheng Museum and Chunqiu Cultural Park.

Its name is to comprehensively and scientifically display Yancheng culture and Spring and Autumn culture, and perfectly enhance the overall cultural taste of Yancheng tourist area.

But Fan Jiannan looked at the large bronze gate, feeling disgusted from the inside out.Compared with these renovated tourist attractions, he would rather see a desolate ruins of the ancient city.

He sighed and looked at Cang Yunxiao, who followed behind him expressionlessly. "Why did you stop?" Cang Yunxiao glanced at him and asked.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking, if it wasn't for this gathering, I'm afraid I'd never be bothered to come to this kind of place in my life." Fan Jiannan smiled wryly.

"This kind of messy tourist landscape has long been familiar. If you have the time to sigh, why don't you help me get some equipment." Cang Yunxiao was carrying a big bag in his hand.

"What's in there?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

"LED searchlight, light stick, compass, water and food." Cang Yunxiao said coldly, "I've been carrying it since I came out in the morning, don't you think it's time to change my back?"

Fan Jiannan shook his head and said, "I don't think so. On the contrary, I think this bag is nothing to a martial arts master like you. Even if you memorize it for a month, you won't feel tired. But it's obviously not to me, a cultural person who is a fortune-teller. It fits."

Cang Yunxiao said coldly, "Then quickly find the entrance, I am not your human tractor."

Fan Jiannan smiled slightly, "Human Tractor? The name is interesting. You see, with me, you even have a sense of humor. Don't worry, I've already calculated the location. And I can conclude that it will last up to 5 minutes. , your human tractor should be unloaded."

"What do you mean?" Cang Yunxiao said coldly.

"Look there. Although the man-made monuments in the scenic area are disgusting, they are not useless. At least they provide tourists with the convenience of boating on the river." Fan Jiannan pointed to the distance and smiled.

What Fan Jiannan was referring to was a place where boats were rented in Yancheng Scenic Area.Yancheng is famous for its canoes, and smart tourism project developers will naturally not miss this opportunity.A dozen or so small boats are scattered along the edge of the charter center.

"By boat?"

"Of course, don't forget that we are tourists now. Although Ancient Yancheng is surrounded by three waters and three cities, its water system must be connected. We have to sit on a boat to find the entrance carefully." Fan Jiannan shrugged.

The two went to the charter center and rented a small boat.According to the safety regulations of the scenic spot, tourists who want to go boating must also wear life jackets to prevent accidents caused by falling into the water.Of course you have to pay a fee.

Fan Jiannan and Cang Yunxiao got into the boat and rowed carelessly along the river in the ancient city, but they were actually looking for a hidden entrance.

Searched around and found almost nothing.The two of them didn't give up, and the boat rowed to the southeast of the moat of the ancient city. Cang Yunxiao suddenly patted Fan Jiannan and said, "Look there, could it be the entrance to the secret office?"

Fan Jiannan looked at it and shook his head and said, "Impossible, the sewers in Yancheng cannot be this unadorned earthen cave. Don't forget that it is rainy in the south of the Yangtze River. If it is this kind of earthen cave, let alone more than 2000 years, it will take two years. It collapsed. Besides, according to my hexagrams, the orientation is not right at all."

"But we can't find any other caves at all. Could it be that this sewer is hidden under the water?" Cang Yunxiao frowned.

"Impossible, I just carefully looked at the moss on both sides of the river bank. I can basically confirm that the water level of these moats has remained unchanged for many years. There must have been another underground channel when the ancient city was built, so that once the water level reaches a certain level This position will be leaked away. Since the ancients wanted to maintain the water level, there must be their reasons." Fan Jiannan mused, "I wonder if we have fallen into the habit of thinking, and we are looking for it along the side of the city. .and ignore the other side."

"The other side? But shouldn't the location of the secret office be on the side close to the city?" Cang Yunxiao asked strangely.

"The location of the secret place is indeed on the side of the city. But what we are looking for is the secret passage to enter the secret place. Who stipulates that the secret passage must be a straight line?" Fan Jiannan deliberately rowed the boat to the other side. . "I feel like it should be here, let's look for it carefully."

"Here... can't it? I always feel that this leads to the outside..." Cang Yunxiao frowned.Even so, he carefully searched the inner walls of the river bank in this area.

This really made a new discovery. He really found a sewer entrance on the inner wall of the river bank.The banks of the river are covered with vines and some wild goji berries hang down from above.As a result, this entrance is covered, and it is really difficult to find it without careful observation.

But looking at the entrance, Cang Yunxiao frowned again.

He sighed and said, "Although this entrance is large enough for a small boat to row in, it is made of cement red bricks mixed with stones. Obviously, the construction of this entrance will not take more than a few decades."

Fan Jiannan shook his head and said, "You are wrong, the entrance must be here. You can see that although the cement and red bricks cannot be ancient, but you can see that the stone is obviously old. I can be sure that this is the ancient waterway, but It was rebuilt at the beginning. You know that the materials for river bank construction are very troublesome. Therefore, in line with the principle of obtaining materials nearby, some of the original stone materials were used. But the materials were not enough, so some bricks were used to fill them. "

"It makes sense, why don't you go and have a look first?" Cang Yunxiao nodded.

The two rowed the boat in. The inside was so narrow that the boat could barely pass through.

The light was so weak that it was impossible to see what was inside.At this time, Cang Yunxiao had already taken out the hand-held searchlight, and the two continued to row inside with the help of the searchlight.

After a while, the inside was blocked by an iron fence.Although it is rusty, it is obvious that this iron fence was added later.

Fan Jiannan looked at it with the searchlight for a long time before saying, "It's a very common iron bar, similar to the iron bars on ordinary people's windows. Fuck, it's up to you."

What kind of person is Cang Yunxiao?That is the master of mountain technique, and also a real inner master.Although he hadn't practiced hard skills such as iron sand palms, it was not a problem to unscrew these heavily corroded iron bars with his bare hands.

In just a few minutes, Cang Yunxiao tore open the iron gate in the waterway, allowing the boat to continue passing.To their surprise, the inside seemed to gradually become more spacious.

Fan Jiannan carefully observed the surroundings with the searchlight in his hand.

After cleaning the moss on the top with his hands, he found that the walls and top of the sewer were all piled up with stones.These strips of stone are roughly made, and although they are old, there are still dense traces of chiseling on them.The mining of these stones is obviously not a modern mechanical process, but hewn by hand.

"It seems that the ancient waterway is here." Fan Jiannan said in a low voice, "Our ancestors bless us, our luck is not bad, I hope there is no collapse in front of us." After all, the two underground waterways built more than 500 years ago, No one is sure.

Cang Yunxiao pulled out the dagger, carved a mark on the stone wall at the top, and painted it with a kind of powder.

"What is this?" Fan Jiannan asked strangely.

"A fluorescent agent, with this, you can find this mark even in a dark environment. Of course, you can't see anything now. To see this mark, you must wear special glasses." Cang Yunxiao explained road.

"Where did you get so many weird things?" Fan Jiannan found it interesting.

"This is handed down by the old people who walked the rivers and lakes. This is called a secret. In the past, in order to commit crimes, some thieves often stepped on the spot during the day, marked the route with this secret mark, and then committed crimes at night. Most people can't see it." Cang Yunxiao said in a low voice. .

Fan Jiannan nodded and continued to row the boat inward.The underground waterway is getting colder and damper, with water seeping out from the walls and top and dripping into the water.A strange sound was formed along with the echo.It's a little creepy.

The boat stopped for a while, and the waterway was almost full of forks.Every ten meters is a channel of the same specification. The inside is dark and seems to be far away, and the hand-held searchlight can't reach the end.And it seems that there are forks within forks.It is a huge labyrinth of underground waterways.

The compass in Cang Yunxiao's hand also failed, and the needle kept shaking, with no intention of stopping.

"It seems that there are magnets around here, causing the magnetic field in this area to be chaotic, and the compass is useless." Fan Jiannan whispered. "Now I can only move forward according to my speculation."

Cang Yunxiao nodded and said, "I will carve marks along the way so that we can find our way back. Let's start..."
