Everyone followed the little brother and took two steps forward.

Soon they discovered that the situation in this place was more complicated than they imagined.

These sloping downward stone steps were all excavated on the mountain.

It is as if a series of stone steps have been dug out of the mountain.

And this passage of stone steps that has been sloping down is actually not that big.

Up to one meter in front of the passage is the wall.

What is strange is that there are holes in these walls at intervals.

This kind of hole is only as thick as a thumb, very deep, and I don't know where it leads.

Moreover, the position and orientation of each hole are different.It's as if it was randomly hit on it.

But in ancient times, there were no electric drills, which means that all these holes were manually knocked out bit by bit.

And they seem pretty sure there's room behind those directions.

Because when they put their hands on these holes, they could clearly feel the wind blowing from them.

Zhang Weishan said.

"This should be a kind of exhaust channel. Although these holes are very small, there are a lot of them."

"So after the wind blows out from inside, it gathers in this passage, forming that cool feeling."

"If I'm not mistaken, behind these holes should be the space for placing bronzes."

It makes sense for everyone to nod their heads.

Strangely though, they didn't see any larger passages here.

Because if there were no such passages, how were the passages for storing bronzes dug out?

For this question, everyone can only temporarily understand that they haven't gone deep into it yet, so they may not have met yet.

The little brother took the lead in the front, and everyone followed closely behind, walking down the steps step by step.

Gone, about 10 minutes.

In front of everyone, it suddenly became clear, and the steps that were sloping down disappeared.

What appeared in front of everyone was a space of twenty square meters.

This space is much smaller than the place where the stone coffin was stored before.

And there were no such holes on the surrounding walls.

There is not even a coffin, obviously the function of the previous space is different.

And the space as a whole looks very messy.

There are a lot of wood debris on the ground, all of which will be broken when stepped on. Obviously, the corrosion is very serious.

And in the corner of the wall is filled with something similar to a log.

Everyone felt curious, so they went up to check.

They discovered that the logs had actually been sawn open.

And many logs have only a thin layer left.

But that layer is not bark, but solid wood.

The wood has been completely blackened, and there is a layer of carbon ash on it that is similar to that left after being burned by fire.

Lao Wang scratched it with a dagger, and immediately black carbon ash flew up.

He felt very curious, and poked it with a dagger again, and found that the whole log was very solid.

Especially for those very thick logs, the dagger couldn't poke them in at all.

Xiaoxi also touched these logs and said.

"This kind of wood is very special, the texture is very hard, it seems to be used as some kind of tool."

Lao Wang took a deep breath and said.

"This is stone wood. I didn't expect them to find so many stone wood!"

"What is that stone wood?"

Everyone looked at Lao Wang, obviously not understanding.

Old Wang said.

"This stone wood is a very rare kind of wood. It is named stone wood because its texture is as hard as stone."

"In ancient times, many metal objects were poured using this kind of stone wood."

"It was later that the method of making models with adobe was invented, and this kind of head wood is very precious and extremely hard to find, so it was gradually replaced by the method of making models with adobe."

"Fatty Master once met at an overseas auction, and a piece of stone and wood as thick as a little finger was sold for a sky-high price."

"There are so many here, don't we want to make a fortune!"

"Let's not talk about whether you will get rich or not. This log is as heavy as a stone. If you carry it all out, at least your fat will fall off!"

Old Wu laughed.

Lao Wang was so angry that he let it go. He immediately went to see if there were any stones and woods that were smaller and could be taken out.

Everyone is not as fond of money as he is, so they went to check for other clues.

Zhang Weishan looked around.

Soon he discovered that there were many well-presented wooden doors on the surrounding walls of this space.

The surfaces of those wooden doors were covered with a layer of cloth.

And there is a layer of stone-like material on top of the cloth.

It should be sticky and ground into powder with the stone here and then stirred and pasted on it.

After these things dry, the lines formed will be similar to the surrounding stones, so it is easy to miss if you don't look carefully.

He went forward to try it, and found that the cloth and the stone powder on it had all solidified.

With two kicks, the whole piece of cloth fell off with a lot of stone powder, revealing the wooden door inside.

The wooden door was also very severely corroded. After shaking it twice, the whole wooden door fell off.

Behind the wooden door, there is a space about one meter high, which does not seem to be deep.

He tried to go in with a flashlight, and quickly saw what was inside.

This channel is only two or three meters deep.

At the end of the passage, there is actually a horizontal passage connected at 90 degrees.

The two passages come together, like a T-shape.

And in the passage in front of him stood a huge bronze vessel.

The bronze vessel is at least as thick as an adult's waist, and the tail cannot be seen from the front to the back.

The bronze vessels were placed on the ground.

Zhang Weishan stepped forward and found that the whole bronze vessel was very firm without any shaking.

And he turned the flashlight to the front and back sides to look for it, and soon discovered the problem here.

He found that the space above the head of this passage presents an arch.

This arch is very large, spanning more than ten meters.

The closer to the left and right sides, the lower the height, and the closer to the connection of the incoming passage, the higher the height.

The highest point must be at least two meters, allowing an adult to stand normally.

And the lowest part is not even a meter.

That's been affixed almost entirely to the bronze.

Everyone then walked in, and when they saw the situation in front of them, a question in their hearts had been completely solved.

This is apparently one of the places where workers built those holes in ancient times.

In ancient times, workers used stone logs as grinding tools.

The longest stone logs were nearly two meters long.

By splicing several logs together, the length may be longer.

They used this kind of stone log to dig a passage in the mountain that was only a circle larger than the log.

The logs are then inserted into it, and copper water is poured into the middle of the long hollowed out logs.

After the bronze ware reached the log limit, they dug out such a space for workers to come in.

Then pull out the log.

Build the bronze ware to the edge of the entire space, and then put in stone logs to keep pouring.

Such a construction mode could indeed save a lot of manpower at that time.

I have to say that this kind of craftsmanship was definitely one of the best at that time.

From this point of view, behind the wooden doors in other places, there should be such a space.

And these bronze vessels are actually connected to the entire bronze artifact Yaoyang.

But it is a pity that this passage cannot pass through, and only bronze vessels can pass through the narrowest place.

So they still had to find another entrance.

"Let's go!"

Zhang Weishan greeted and led the crowd out.

However, the strange thing was that when they came out, they didn't see Old Wang.

Seeing this, Old Wu thought that the fat man had gone to study the logs again.

So he shouted.

"Come out, fat man, we found gold!"

"If you don't come again, you won't have your share!"

However, after saying this, Lao Wang still didn't come out, and there was not even a little movement.

For a moment, everyone couldn't help but tense up.

Apparently something might have happened here when they got behind the wooden door!
