Chapter 1907 The Buried Secret Road

As Jason and the others walked out of the Temple Church and kept moving various equipment back and forth, there was a commotion almost everywhere inside and outside the Temple Church.

"Look at those guys, all of them are beaming with joy, and they are as diligent as a group of ants. I'm sure that guy Steven must have made a major discovery. Maybe they have found the treasure of the Knights Templar!"

"Wow! The rumors are indeed true. God will always take care of that bastard Steven, and this time is no exception. That bastard must have discovered something, otherwise he wouldn't have put up such a big battle."

Amidst the discussions one after another, everyone was staring closely at Jason and the others who were coming and going, each pair of eyes was full of curiosity, envy, and even jealousy.

Not only the many media reporters and onlookers around the church, but also Prince William and his party inside the temple church were also very curious at this time, wanting to know what Ye Tian and the others found.

It's a pity that no matter how much they asked and inquired, those bastards from the fearless exploration company didn't reveal any information, and they didn't even bother to talk to them.

The British Minister of Culture and the administrator of the Temple Church also wanted to go into the basement to see what was going on in the basement.

However, as soon as they reached the door of the basement, they were stopped by armed security personnel with live ammunition and were not allowed to pass at all.

Faced with this situation, these British guys could only suppress their strong curiosity and continue to stay in the church, suffering helplessly.

Soon, twenty minutes passed.

The confession cell, which was empty before with only Ye Tian and the others, is now filled with all kinds of exploration equipment. Even the corridor outside and the basement next door are also piled with a lot of exploration equipment.

After Jason and the others returned to the confession cell and transported the last batch of equipment to the basement, the next step of exploration began immediately.

"Peter, you use a drill to knock out the concrete around these marble floors, be careful, try not to bump those marble floors, lest those British guys use this as an excuse to make trouble"

Ye Tian pointed to the marble floors on the ground, and issued an action order.

"Okay, Steven, don't worry, I'll be careful"

Peter nodded in response, then picked up the electric drill and started to act.

The next moment, the sound of electric drills turning at high speed sounded in the confessional cell.

Immediately afterwards, there was an even harsher, scalp-numbing sound of drilling the ground.

However, this voice was extremely pleasant to Ye Tian and the others' ears, just like the sounds of nature.

The huge movement in the confessional cell naturally couldn't be concealed from the ears of the British guys on the first floor of the church.

Without exception, those guys all turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound, and everyone's eyes were extremely eager and full of curiosity.

It's a pity that they can only look at the basement entrance and secretly guess what's going on below, but they can't go down to find out.

In the blink of an eye, the concrete between and around the marble floors was smashed and cleaned out by the drilling machine, exposing several gaps of different widths.

Afterwards, Ye Tian picked up the crowbar again, and asked the others to get out of the way, preparing to pry up those seemingly heavy marble floors by himself.

However, when he inserted the crowbar into the gap at the edge of one of the marble floors and pressed down with all his strength, the marble floor only shook a bit and was not pried up by him.

Seeing this situation, Ye Tian didn't try again to forcefully pry the heavy and unusually heavy marble floor, which would definitely damage the other marble floor next to it as a fulcrum.

"As expected, this marble floor is very heavy, weighing at least 600 kilograms, and the thickness must be exaggerated. In order to avoid damaging the marble floor next to it, we can only start from the surrounding area."

With that said, Ye Tian pulled out the crowbar, then changed direction, inserted the crowbar into the gap again, and began to pry the Pulbeck marble floor next to it.

This time it was much easier, without much effort, the marble strip weighing about 200 kilograms was pried up, and then lifted by Ye Tian to the vacated space next to it.

As the marble floor was lifted, everyone immediately saw that the marble floor that Ye Tian pried at first was deeply planted in the ground, much thicker than the Purbeck marble floors next to it.

"hiss!"

There was a sound of gasping for air, and everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them.

"It's exactly as you expected! Steven, these marble floors cannot be called floors at all. It seems more accurate to call them marble columns."

The Bishop of Kent said with emotion, with a surprised expression.

"Now I'm even more sure, there must be a huge secret hidden under these marble floors, maybe it's a huge surprise"

Ye Tian continued with a smile, looking confident.

Next, Ye Tian continued to pry up all the Purbeck marble floors around the boulders in the center of the cell.

As the marble floors were pried up, the boulders in the center of the confessional cell were immediately isolated.

Without exception, those boulders were planted deep in the ground, as if they had grown out of the ground. They were much thicker and heavier than the surrounding Purbeck marble floors.

Without the slightest pause, Ye Tian immediately withdrew to the side, and then said to the company employees under him:

"Guys, start digging with your hands, in groups of two, take turns, change when you get tired, and be careful when digging, don't get hurt"

"Okay, Steven"

Everyone responded in unison, and then began to dig.

Five or six minutes later, the huge stones, or marble pillars standing in the center of the cell, were dug out.

As Ye Tian said before, these marble pillars are very heavy, each one seems to weigh more than 700 kilograms, and it is unknown how the Knights Templar collected them and transported them here.

After some amazement, everyone started to remove these marble columns, and then explore the secrets hidden deeper underground.

This time Ye Tian didn't do it himself, and moved these boulders alone. It would be too shocking, and it would inevitably attract a lot of attention.

Under his command, Jason and the others quickly assembled the modular hoisting equipment, and then lifted all the heavy boulders and moved them to the side.

Then, Peter and Tommy picked up the engineering shovel, jumped into the big hole just dug, and continued to dig.

It didn't take long for the confession cell to completely change its appearance. Not only was it full of various exploration equipment, but there were also a few hilly mounds.

Even the corridor outside and a basement next to it had a few more hills.

Soon, twenty minutes passed.

The big hole in the center of the confessional cell has been dug deeper and wider.

The two company employees who were digging at the bottom of the pit could no longer see their heads. Only buckets of soil were being hoisted up from the bottom of the pit and then transported to the basement next door.

"boom"

Suddenly there was a crisp sound from the bottom of the pit, very loud.

Immediately afterwards, Derek's excited voice came up from the bottom of the pit.

"Steven, we've dug to the bottom, and the bottom is a marble slab"

Hearing this, surprise flashed across everyone's faces, and they all let out a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, Ye Tian and Bishop Kent came to the edge of the big pit, and looked at the bottom of the pit with their heads.

As Derek said, a gray marble slab appeared at the bottom of the pit, right under Derek's feet, the exact size is temporarily unknown.

Ye Tian glanced at the situation at the bottom of the pit, and then said to the people at the bottom of the pit:

"Derek, you guys clean up the edge of this marble slab, and then you can go up, and I will take care of the rest"

"Okay, Steven"

The two people at the bottom of the pit responded in unison, and then continued to dig, with much more energy than before.

Ye Tian and Bishop Kent, who were standing on the edge of the pit, took a few steps back to a safe area so as not to interfere with the ongoing excavation.

After stepping back and standing still, the Bishop of Kent immediately said in surprise:

"Steven, the scene in front of you is too similar to the situation we encountered in the castle of Argeny. The secret arsenal of the Knights Templar was also buried deep in the ground, sealed with a stone slab, and sealed with soil"

Ye Tian nodded slightly, then smiled and said:

"Indeed, this scene is very familiar, but this situation is also very normal. Don't be surprised. Don't forget that both the Castle of Argeny in Lyon and the Temple Church once belonged to the Knights Templar.

Although the locations are different, their methods of hiding things are the same, and it was the ancient Middle Ages, and members of the Knights Templar were a group of professional soldiers, so there were probably not many options to choose from.

And I estimate that the situation under this marble slab is the same as what we encountered in the Argeni Castle. There is a secret passage under the stone slab, and it is temporarily unknown where this secret passage leads.

Obviously, this secret passage was deliberately buried by members of the Knights Templar. As for why it was buried and when it was buried, as long as you open this secret passage, I believe you can find the answer..."

While speaking, Derek's voice came up from the bottom of the pit again.

"Steven, we have already cleared this marble slab at the bottom of the pit"

Hearing the notification, Ye Tian immediately stopped talking, and said to the two guys at the bottom of the pit:

"You can come up, Derek, the next exploration work will be handed over to me"

Immediately afterwards, he said to the others at the scene:

"Everyone put on protective clothing and gas masks, just in case. Next, it will be the moment to witness a miracle. I hope there is a huge surprise hidden under the marble slab at the bottom of the pit."

As he spoke, he took the protective clothing and gas mask that were placed beside him, and began to put them on.

The rest of the people at the scene were the same, putting on full protective clothing and gas masks.
