Li Chengqian in his previous life was a serious designer.

He is very familiar with the structure of houses.

And not only that, he also understood the construction principles of houses in the Tang Dynasty very well.

No matter what era you are in, as long as you are building a house, there are two necessary elements that cannot be separated.

One is the bearing point of the house, and the other is the stability of the foundation.

After all, if the load-bearing capacity of the house is not satisfactory, it will inevitably collapse, and the same will be true if the foundation is not adequate.

Nowadays, we don’t have reinforced concrete like in later generations. If you want to build an underground garage, it’s just a matter of words from the real estate developer.

In this day and age, it would be quite troublesome to build a secret room in such a temple.

The first is that you cannot dig out the location of the secret room before building the house.

One is that if the secret room is prepared too early, it will be easily exposed and the meaning of the secret room's existence will be lost.

The second reason is that there was no reinforced concrete in this era, and wooden and stone structures simply could not achieve the load-bearing capacity of reinforced concrete.

Even if it is forcibly built, it will collapse due to one or other reasons in the future.

Therefore, if you want to build a secret chamber in this era, you can only design the foundation and supporting points in the temple in advance, and start digging the secret chamber after the house is completed.

In this case, it can be inferred that the size of this secret room will not be too large, at most ten or twenty square meters.

And if we build a secret room of 20 square meters in the main hall, which is only more than 30 square meters in itself.

Whether it is for confidentiality or safety, the entrance to the passage must be in the main hall.

In the main hall, apart from the stone statue, there is only one visible incense table, and nothing else.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian didn't hesitate.

He walked directly towards the stone statue. After drilling around the stone statue twice, he found the secret.

This stone statue does not stand directly on the ground. There is a one-foot-high white marble base at the foot of the stone statue.

After Li Chengqian thought for a moment, he grabbed the wine bottle placed on the incense table, and then poured the wine in the bottle down the base engraved with tiger and leopard patterns.

Sure enough, it was just as he imagined.

The wine moved all the way down against the white marble base, and when it fell to the ground, it did not spread outwards, but continued to seep downward.

Seeing this scene, Li Chengqian immediately concluded that there must be a mystery underneath the white marble base...

He didn't ask anyone for help, he just stretched his arms and used all his strength to lift the stone statue, which weighed hundreds of kilograms, off the white marble base.

After placing the stone statue smoothly, Li Chengqian locked his eyes on the white marble base.

But this time, even with all his strength, he could not move the white marble base even half an inch.

At this time, Li Chengqian was also a little confused.

You know, he has the 'Meng Ben's Power Skill Package'.

He had already tested his strength earlier, and the stone statue weighing hundreds of kilograms was as light as nothing to him.

But why can't it move the white marble base that is three or four times smaller than the stone statue?

He was 100% sure that he was in the right place.

The entrance to the secret room must be here.

But obviously, this place cannot be cracked by relying on brute force, there should be other mechanisms.

That was when Li Chengqian was frantically looking for a mechanism in the palace.

Suddenly I heard a voice coming from outside: "Why are you here, kid?"

Hearing these words, Li Chengqian suddenly turned around and saw Li Shimin standing outside the hall carrying a food box.

"Father?"

Li Chengqian was a little surprised.

He really didn't expect that Li Shimin would come to this place.

Li Shimin first saw Li Chengqian, and then saw the scene in the palace.

In an instant, his expression also changed.

{Received tension value +99 from Li Shimin...}

The moment the system prompt sounded, Li Shimin's somewhat guilty voice also came: "You... how did you find this place? And what are you doing?"

"Looking for the secret room."

Li Chengqian said it openly and honestly.

Then, he stepped forward and grabbed Li Shimin's arm and said, "Father, you built this place. You must know where the secret room is, right?"

"Hurry, open the door quickly, I'm going to save people!"

"Secret room? Rescue people?"

Li Shimin said with a puzzled face: "Are you crazy? Is this the place you should come to?"

Then, he straightened his face and said: "I think you deserve a beating. If you don't restore this place to its original state today, I will make your butt explode!"

"Oh, Father."

"How long has it been and you still want to spank me?"

Li Chengqian said with a helpless face: "Father, please don't tell me these things. Human lives are a matter of great importance now."

"Hurry up and open this secret room. When I save someone, why don't I let you beat me to death?"

Seeing him like this, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

But he didn't hesitate for too long, and walked to a beam on the side.

He raised his hand and groped on the beam for a moment, and then pressed some button.

Then, there was an undetectable friction sound from His Highness' convenience.

Immediately afterwards, the white marble base that Li Chengqian could not move no matter how much he moved before slowly began to rise, and was then pushed aside by the mechanism below.

Seeing this scene, Li Chengqian was shocked and angry.

He turned back to look at Li Shimin and said: "My father, you are so advanced in making a secret room? You also told me that you don't have top craftsmen around you?"

To be honest, Li Chengqian now wants to fight Li Shimin desperately.

You have built such a high-end secret room, but later you tell yourself that you have no craftsmen, forcing you to go to the world to find it yourself.

Isn’t this too much of a trap for my mother-in-law? Is there such a thing as cheating on your son?

After hearing what Li Chengqian said, it was obvious that Li Shimin also felt guilty.

He raised his hand and touched his nose and said: "I didn't think of it for a moment, and he was too busy to help you with those little things."

"I……"

Li Chengqian really wanted to swear at Li Shimin.

But this guy is my father after all, and he is also the emperor.

Forget it, just give him some face and won't scold him this time.

Furthermore, it was also for the sake of my own ass, so as not to say bad words and get spanked by this guy.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian no longer hesitated and walked straight towards the exposed passageway.

After looking down, Li Chengqian walked down the stairs of the passage.

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin, who was holding an oil lamp, was about to stop him.

But before he could speak, he heard a strange scream in his ear.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Li Chengqian's figure suddenly disappearing at the entrance of the passage...

Mother...

This is so stupid that Li Shimin doesn't even want to recognize his son.

He knew it was pitch dark down there, so why didn't this guy turn on a light?

And he originally wanted to hand it to him with a lamp.

But before he could hand him the oil lamp, Li Chengqian, a reckless man, stepped down.

"You guys are so damn stupid."

"When can I let you and I have some peace of mind?"

Although he was cursing, Li Shimin's face was full of anxiety.

Then he didn't stop and stepped directly into the secret passage...
