After dealing with the Wang family, Chen Ziyan turned his attention to the underground palace. When his eyes swept around with the flashlight beam, he found that the side he was on now was clearly different from the other side of the empty statue.
There are not only many daily necessities here, but also some modern instruments, as well as a few things that seem to be inexplicable.
What attracted Chen Ziyan’s attention the most was a bronze tree not far from him.
Because of its position in the front and its unique shape, Chen Ziyan had already noticed it when he charged, but he didn't have time to pay attention to it at that time.
With the help of a flashlight, Chen Ziyan discovered that the bronze tree had a total of twelve branches. These branches were scattered and pointed upward, and there were many inverted miniature bronze bells embedded on it.
Chen Ziyan estimated based on the location of the pothole when he came down, and found that the location of the bronze tree was directly below Li Wu's joint point on the ground.
If he guessed correctly, this bronze tree should be a device for collecting ground information.
Walking around the rusty bronze tree, Chen Ziyan made a new discovery, and this new discovery also confirmed his guess in disguise.
On the edge of the base of the bronze tree, two bronze roots of the same material extend out. One of the bronze roots is connected to an instrument not far away, and the other bronze root Then it sank straight into the underground palace wall.
The bronze tree root that is submerged into the wall of the underground palace extends in the direction of the camp. It must be connected under the hidden device in the camp.
Although the operating principle of this set of bronze vessels is not yet clear, the specific effects are not difficult to guess. This is obviously a set of mechanical equipment that uses sound and vibration to transmit messages.
Chen Ziyan feels that this set of bronzes is of great research value, and plans to pack it up and take it away when he leaves, and bring it back to Shirley Yang, an agency expert, to study it.
Even if they cannot copy everything, as long as they can get some inspiration from it, then they will not lose!
Chen Ziyan then observed the small bronze bells on the branches. However, except for the special placement of these small bronze bells, there was nothing special about them.
No matter the inner or outer walls, there are no totem patterns. Except for a hole at the bottom of the inner wall, there is nothing worthy of attention.
As for the hole inside the bronze bell, Chen Ziyan had a guess. If he guessed correctly, this should be the entrance to the channel for sound transmission, which would also explain why the bronze bell was placed upside down.
Although there is no clear evidence yet, it can be seen from this that there should be a corresponding passage inside the bronze tree.
I don’t know why, but both the bronze tree and the small bronze bell placed upside down on the branches gave Chen Ziyan a vague feeling of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
But no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
But one thing Chen Ziyan can be sure of is that the bronze tree in front of him seems to be old, but it is definitely not an antique.
After all, he is an archeology major, and he has a thousand-year heritage from Xiling, so it is not difficult for him to identify the age.
Chen Ziyan had determined from the first moment that although the bronze tree looked ancient and vicissitudes of life, it would not actually be produced for too long, and it would only last about twenty years before it could survive.
After pondering for a while and still having no clue, Chen Ziyan put the matter aside. He had many things to deal with now and had no time to dwell on such trivial matters.
Besides, this set of bronzes is already in his pocket. He will have plenty of time to study it when he is free, so there is no need to rush at this moment.
For Chen Ziyan, the first thing that needs to be dealt with now is to get the Wang family members who have lost the ability to move to the ground.
He had already made plans to completely control the staff in the camp as soon as he got there, and then started to modify the camp to prevent the Wang family from jumping into panic after getting the news. After all, negotiations are negotiations, but precautions must be taken.
And based on Chen Ziyan’s understanding of the Wang family, he believed that the other party would not be so willing to admit defeat, and they would probably have to do it again.
While thinking about the possible counterattacks of the Wang family, Chen Ziyan looked around casually.
And just as his eyes swept across the corner not far away, an indescribable feeling of confusion suddenly arose in his heart.
This feeling is very weak, but it is real.
This unexpected discovery caught Chen Ziyan's attention. He temporarily restrained his thoughts and walked towards the corner.
It was fine from a distance, but when he got closer, he was shocked to find that this seemingly blind spot turned out to be a clever visual trap.
The two seemingly intersecting walls actually have no contact at all. They just take advantage of the unique dark environment of the underground palace and the slight tilt of the wall angle to artificially create the visual illusion that this is a blind spot.
This location is essentially an imperceptible corner, and behind the corner, Chen Ziyan also discovered a passage that can only accommodate one person.
Although it is said that it can accommodate one person, in fact, the width of this passage is at most 40 centimeters. A slightly stronger person will have a hard time walking. It does not seem to be a conventional entry and exit path.
Then Chen Ziyan held up the flashlight and carefully observed the ground, and soon found some faint footprints inside the entrance of the passage.
These footprints look very confusing, and coupled with the direction of the footprints, it is self-evident what they represent.
Chen Ziyan stared at these footprints for a long time, raised his head and let out a low sigh.
“Time is running out now!”
He thought he had done a good enough job, but he didn't expect something to slip through the net.
After taking a deep look at the deep and dark narrow passage in front of him, Chen Ziyan issued a pursuit order to Huahu not far away.
Let him follow him and have a look. It would be best if he could find the escaped Wang family. Even if he couldn't catch him, he still had to figure out where the exit of this passage was.
However, Chen Ziyan didn't have any hope in this, because he didn't hear any noise in the passage at all.
In such a closed environment, his current hearing ability is enough to hear sounds from a long distance. Now he can't hear anything. There are only two possibilities. One is that the runaway has ran away. It's very far away, and secondly, there is something else deep in this passage.
But no matter which possibility it is, it means that it is difficult to catch the opponent.
If possible, he hopes to make this trip by himself. After all, Huahu is a puppet and is good at executing orders, but the problem is that he cannot adapt.
It's a pity... This sudden situation no longer allows him to waste time on it. (End of this chapter)
