Chapter 527 The person who left footprints
Just when Liu Cong drew the eyes of the other members of the team to the building that looked like a city wall, the flares that slowly fell in midair finally went out completely.

This time without Chen Benzhong speaking, a team member fired the second flare.During the more than a minute when the flares burned, the eyes of more than a dozen people in the team did not leave that section of the city wall.

Because the crack in this section of the city wall is located in the middle of the deep well, it is much shorter than the crack where everyone is. I can only guess that that part of the city wall should be a corner of the Dragon Vein Palace.

It wasn't until the light from the second flare was exhausted and the deep well became dark again that more than a dozen people looked back.At this time, Liu Cong waved his hand to the team member who fired the flare, meaning not to continue firing.

This time the team was not big, they didn't carry much equipment, and there were not a few flares in total. It's better to save some, and the effect of firing flares won't be much better. Everyone has already understood what they are looking at, and there will be no gain from watching it any further.

Without the third flare, quite a few people pointed their flashlights in the direction of that section of the city wall.Perhaps because they were used to the strong light from the flares, everyone felt that the beam of the flashlight was much darker than before, and that section of the city wall could not be seen clearly under the light of the flashlight.

Squatting on the edge of the crack, Chen Benzhong kept licking the white stubble with his fingers, thinking about something carefully, and then he said softly: "Old fellows, what do you think?"

"What are you looking at? It couldn't be more obvious. It should be the Dragon Vessel Underground Palace. Don't waste your time here. Just go there and study it." Chen Sanjin said while rubbing the spikes on the front of his stainless steel shoes against the ground. He said, making a clattering sound, seeing his action, he should be a little impatient.

"That's what I mean too. It's better to go and have a look and talk about it than to think about it here." Xu Yi, the ground dragon, tightened the straps of his backpack, and grabbed the engineer shovel firmly fixed on the backpack. Ready to go.

"You two are still so impatient, it's okay, let's go over and have a look, but it seems that it is not easy to go there." Chen Benzhong said, staring at the crack in the mountain in the distance.

This deep well is roughly in the shape of a cylinder. The diameter of the cross-section of the deep well is about 150 meters. Due to the height difference, the straight-line distance between everyone and that section of the city wall should be about 150 meters.

"I understand that the stone slabs that fell into the pool didn't fall off on their own because they were too old, but were artificially removed after the construction was completed and completely closed.

As long as these stone slabs are destroyed, there will be no way to control the water level in the deep well. As you can see, the water level in the pool below is very low, and although there is water injected here, the amount of water injected is very small, basically the same as before. The amount of water flowing out of the pool remains the same.

The deep well, which was originally used to transport materials or personnel, turned into a defensive mechanism after removing these stone slabs, so that people standing here can only look at the opposite side and sigh. "

After what Chen Benzhong said, other people also felt that this was the truth.It is indeed not easy to travel such a long distance, especially in the Qing Dynasty, when there were not so many advanced tools, the width of this deep well is almost like a moat, directly blocking people who are interested in the Dragon Vein Palace. here.

"Old man, why don't you let me try?" Chen Sanjin walked to the edge of the crack and checked the condition of the rock wall in the deep well. It seemed that he had outlined a climbing route in his mind so that he could climb directly to the opposite side.

"Hmph, I don't need you to take action this time. The rock wall here is very slippery. Although you are very capable, you can't keep the stones on the rock wall clean after years of water washing. , Maybe the inside of the rock wall is full of cracks, and when you hold the gravel, it is likely to fall off.

In addition to considering that direct climbing is more dangerous, there is another reason why I don't want you to go there. Even if you go by yourself, it is useless, there is no way to take us there.

If you tie the rope to your body, the 200-meter-long rope is very heavy, which will seriously hinder your movements, and even pull you down directly and fall into the pool below. "

"Climbing from the side is indeed very dangerous. I can climb over the top of the rock, and then go down the rock wall after reaching the opposite side. It will be much safer."

"It doesn't work that way. There are many iron bars interspersed among the stones on the top of the rock. These iron bars are placed there, which means that the top of the rock is not very strong and needs to be reinforced with iron bars.

In addition, these iron bars have been used for so many years, and it is likely that many of them have decayed and cannot withstand it at all. Under your pull, it is very likely to break from them.If these iron bars are broken, it may cause the collapse of the rock top above, and the loss outweighs the gain. "

"En." Chen Sanjin nodded, he had already considered these when he was thinking about how to climb over.Chen Sanjin felt that he was seventy-eight percent sure that he could climb along the rock wall to the opposite side, but he was not even a little sure about getting the other people over.

"Hmph, when this institution was put in the Qing Dynasty, it might indeed hinder a lot of people, but the times are different now, it's very different! Cong'er, come here."

"Yes!" Hearing Chen Benzhong's words, Liu Cong waved his hand, and the three team members walked to the edge of the crack and got busy.

Team No.1 took out a small laser rangefinder and measured their distance to the opposite rock wall and the distance to the cracks in the city wall.And the other two team members connected the long ropes together.

While these team members were busy, Chen Ziyang was thinking about another thing, that is how the person who left footprints passed here.

Judging from the previous footprints, there is a person who came here alone, and his target should be the dragon vein underground palace in front. Although everyone does not know the identity of this person for the time being, one thing is very certain, this person knows the details of the dragon vein underground palace. Location.

There is only one road from the place where the footprints were found to the edge of the crack. Although no other footprints were seen, it is obvious that this person did not go anywhere else at all, and he should have come here.

Although the stone slabs in those pools have been soaked in water for many years, it is very difficult to identify them, but Chen Ziyang can still see that those stone slabs have been soaked in water for more than a few decades, and they should have been constructed in the Dragon Maiden Palace Then it fell into the pool, which is consistent with Chen Benzhong's speculation.

The previous footprints were left decades ago, that is to say, when the person who left the footprints came to the place where everyone was standing, the deep well should have looked like this.So how did this person get to the dragon vein underground palace on the opposite side?
Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang turned around, looked at the dark crack behind everyone, and an idea came to his mind.

Perhaps the function of this wide mountain crack is not only to transport the materials for the construction of the underground palace as Chen Benzhong said, it is very likely that this crack can also lead directly to the outside.

This point is also easy to understand. In addition to protecting the dragon veins inside, this dragon vein underground palace also contains a lot of treasures, and these treasures are to be taken out, so the people who built the underground palace must have left a secret passage. Go straight into the underground palace and take away the treasures inside.

There is a very high possibility that the other end of this crack in the mountain is hidden in a secret place. As long as you enter from there, you can come to the crack, walk along the crack to the front of the deep well, and then use the deep well to reach The dragon vein underground palace opposite.

Because when the team came in, they came in from a small branch of this wide crack, and did not explore the situation on the other side of the crack, so it is not known whether this is the case, but Chen Ziyang guessed My own guess is almost inseparable.

Thinking about it this way, the identity of the person who left those footprints can also be roughly guessed. That person is likely to be a descendant of the Qing royal family, or someone who has a very close relationship with the descendants of the Qing royal family.

As the top secret of the Qing Dynasty, the dragon veins are known to very few people. It is very likely that only the emperors of the past knew of the existence of this place.Even Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian, who learned the secret of the dragon veins from Yongzheng who was not clear-headed back then, only knew the exact location of the dragon veins. .

And judging from various signs, the person who left the footprints knew much more than Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian.Judging from the footprints, the person did not return, and there are no bones near here, and there is only one path. Combining these factors, it can be concluded that the person who left the footprints should have arrived at the Dragon Vein Palace on the opposite side. .

Who would be a person who knows so much about the Dragon Veins of the Qing Dynasty?
"The footprints left decades ago are the descendants of the Qing imperial family. Could it be...is this person Puyi? Puyi? By the way, it must be Puyi, and he must be someone sent by Puyi!" Chen Ziyang Suddenly woke up.

When they met Chen Benzhong for the first time, Chen Ziyang and Chen Benzhong discussed for a long time, studying the treasure of the Qing dragon vein.

After Puyi escaped from Changchun, he came directly to the remote Dahetao Town in Linhai City, which is very intriguing.

Although it is said that the Big Walnut Town was an iron mine opened by the Japanese, the foundation is very good, which can guarantee the safety of Puyi, and from there, you can cross the Yalu River and go to Japan through the Eastern Dynasty. This seems a reasonable escape. The route is very unreasonable.

In Big Walnut Town, Japan announced its unconditional surrender, and Puyi also called for his abdication. This puppet emperor lost his value, so he was abandoned by the Japanese.

After Japan announced its surrender, the Japanese arranged for Puyi to fly to Japan on a special plane in Shenyang. As a result, just as Puyi's plane was about to take off, the Soviet Red Army rushed into the airport and captured Puyi and Yoshioka Yasuko.

According to historians' speculation, this was deliberately arranged by the Japanese in order to hand over Puyi to the hands of the Soviet Red Army in order to obtain some convenient conditions for retreat.But thinking about it the other way around, this reveals one thing. Why didn't the Japanese let Puyi fly directly from Changchun to Shenyang to Japan when they arranged for Puyi to escape?
Now it seems that this question already has an answer, that is, there is a reason why Puyi had to go to Big Walnut Town, and this reason is the treasure of dragon veins here.

Big Walnut Town is not too far away from the Dragon Vein Treasure of the Qing Dynasty. The last time Chen Ziyang came here alone, without knowing the exact location, it only took five or six days.

If you let him go again now, with the help of a car, it may only take two or three days to make a round trip, and most of the time is spent hiking on the mountain road.

It seems that Pu Yi should have proposed to go to Walnut Town on his own initiative, so that he could rely on the local Japanese to ensure his own safety, and at the same time, he could send people here to check the dragon vein treasures of the Qing Dynasty.

It is estimated that Pu Yi at that time wanted to make a comeback with the help of the treasures in the Dragon Vein Treasure.Japan's defeat is already a certainty, and it is impossible for Puyi not to know this. Maybe he knows that the Japanese are about to be defeated, so he has already begun to think about his own way out.

But unfortunately, Japan's sudden surrender disrupted his plan, and under the betrayal of the Japanese, Puyi became a prisoner. Since then, he has never had the opportunity to go to Big Walnut Town to check the dragon vein treasure.

Just when Chen Ziyang wanted to understand this point, several team members under Liu Cong had already finished their preparations, and a strange mortar-like equipment was placed on the edge of the cliff.

The pitch-black cannon barrel was lifted up obliquely, and in front of the cannon barrel, a mortar-like warhead with a tail was placed.

A rope was tied behind the tail of the warhead. The rope passed through the pitch-black barrel, protruded from the buttocks of the barrel, and coiled a large pile under the barrel.

This pile of ropes is like a hill, but these ropes are coiled very neatly, layer by layer, wrapped around a circle, very neat.

Seeing the overall structure of this equipment, Chen Ziyang understood that when the warhead is fired, it will pull the rope behind and fly forward. As long as the bullet is fired with enough force, the warhead can hit the opposite side. The cracks in the mountain body lead this long rope directly across.
