Nearly an hour later, the secret passage hidden deep underground and leading to the woods was dug out first.
The excavation was carried out in an open space outside the backyard, avoiding hidden spaces deeper underground for safety reasons.
Moreover, in the middle section of the secret passage, we excavated from diagonally upward to reach the vault of the secret passage.
At the same time, excavation operations in the back garden were also carried out simultaneously. The digging was more than four meters deep and was not far from the entrance of the corridor.
After two excavators excavated, there were two large holes in the back garden and the open space outside.
Everything excavated from the two large pits was moved to an open space next to it and can be backfilled in the future if necessary.
The accumulated water generated during excavation was pumped out immediately.
Hearing that the secret passage had been dug, Xiao Ran and the others immediately came out of the back garden and went straight to the edge of the pit above the secret passage, ready to check some conditions.
Many villagers living in this village, as well as some media reporters who had heard about it, gathered outside the cordon to watch the excitement.
Seeing Xiao Ran bringing people over, the media reporters immediately started asking questions loudly at the top of their lungs.
"Hello, Mr. Sean, I am a reporter from France 2"
"Excuse me, what did you dig up? Is it Lu Qinzhai's treasure?"
A male reporter in his early thirties asked loudly.
Immediately afterwards, another beautiful reporter also began to ask questions loudly.
"Hello, Sean, I'm a reporter from the National Geographic Channel. I'm happy to interview you."
"Excuse me, why are you excavating in two places at the same time? Are there two unknown treasures here?"
As they asked questions, the people watching the excitement looked at Xiao Ran with envy and jealousy.
Everyone understands that he must have made a major discovery here, otherwise he would not go to war!
As for what this discovery is, no one knows the exact answer!
But everyone generally believes that the secret or treasure hidden here is most likely the Lu Qinzhai treasure!
After hearing the reporters' questions, Xiao Ran immediately stopped and looked at those guys!
The next moment, he smiled and said loudly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, friends from the media, thank you for your attention."
"There is no need to deny that we have indeed made some discoveries here, but what exactly these discoveries are is yet to be determined!"
"At this excavation site, we discovered a secret underground passage that leads to the woods not far away. It should be a secret escape passage."
"And deep underground in the back garden of the villa, we discovered a very secret underground space. It is definitely a man-made underground space."
"What exactly is in this secret passage? Is there anything hidden in the underground space? It is not known for the time being. The answer can only be known by entering it."
"Now we are preparing to open this underground secret passage. The answer will be revealed soon. Everyone can wait patiently."
Hearing his answer, the media reporters immediately felt like they had been given blood and rushed to continue asking questions.
Xiao Ran stopped paying attention to them, but turned his attention to the bottom of the big pit that had just been dug.
This large pit is about four meters deep, the bottom has been tidied up, and it is large enough for four or five people to stand in it.
Looking down, you can see a corridor vault made of bricks and cement, which looks quite solid.
Except for this red brick vault, there is nothing else at the bottom of the pit, and there is no trace of the existence of traps.
Seeing this situation, Xiao Ran thought for a moment before giving the next step of action.
"Guys, you first use a pulse metal detector to scan the vault of this secret passage to see if there are any metal objects inside."
"If there are metal objects, based on their distribution, we can roughly determine whether there are fatal traps in the secret passage and where they are."
"According to my observations and previous detection results, there should be no traps in this secret passage, but for safety's sake, it's best to scan it again!"
"After the scan is completed and it is basically confirmed that there are no traps, everyone can put on gas masks, demolish the vault of this secret passage, and then enter the secret passage to take a look."
After the words fell, the three employees who stood in the affirmative nodded in unison and said:
"Okay, boss, leave it to us."
After saying that, these three guys acted quickly and prepared to use the pulse metal detector for a second scan!
Immediately afterwards, other employees standing at the edge of the pit hoisted a pulse metal detector down.
Xiao Ran and the others took a few steps back and left the pit.
At this moment, Fang Yufei suddenly came closer and said:
"The live broadcast can start, all preparations have been completed"
"There are enough fans in several live broadcast rooms, and everyone is waiting for the live broadcast to start!"
"Okay, let's get started."
Xiao Ran nodded in response.
Then he reached out and turned on the high-definition camera and miniature microphone attached to his chest.
The next moment, tens of thousands of fans who heard the news and stayed in the live broadcast room immediately saw the scene here.
At the same time, Xiao Ran's voice also came out simultaneously.
"What you are seeing now is a real-time picture of our exploration operation in a village outside Paris. It is already noon here."
"In this village, there are several houses and a large piece of land belonging to the Lu Qinzhai family. I bought them all some time ago."
"In the late 1940s, Lu Qinzhai lived here for a long time and personally presided over the construction of some buildings."
“After checking the information and discovering this, I bought this land and the buildings above it, and it’s not until today that I led a team to explore here!”
"I really made some surprising discoveries here, such as a late Tang Dynasty stone tablet that may be related to Li Shangyin, as well as man-made spaces hidden deep underground, etc...."
Next, he quickly introduced the relevant situation. ,
At the same time, he took a high-definition camera and took pictures of the scene environment and the surrounding scenery.
Then we walked to the edge of the pit that we were exploring and took pictures of the situation at the bottom of the pit, so that everyone could feel the atmosphere and increase their sense of participation.
Following Xiao Ran's introduction and looking at those high-definition pictures, several live broadcast rooms suddenly became as lively as a boiling pot.
Before he could finish introducing the situation, countless fans were already talking about it enthusiastically.
"I'll go! Xiao Ran is obviously heading for Lu Qinzhai's treasure. Is it possible that Lu Qinzhai's treasure is hidden here? If that's the case, that would be perfect!"
"Judging from the current situation, the possibility seems to be very high. If it weren't for hiding the treasure, that traitor Lu Qinzhai wouldn't have to build a lot of construction deep underground!"
"The treasure of Lu Qinzhai may be hidden deep underground in that garden. It may reappear in the world today, and everyone will witness this scene together!"
Just as everyone was talking about it, Mr. Jin's familiar voice suddenly came.
"Xiao Ran, I just heard you say that you found a stone tablet related to the great poet Li Shangyin of the late Tang Dynasty. Is it true or false? Did I hear it correctly?"
"If it's true, can you take a picture of that stone tablet? That treasure might be a national treasure-level antique cultural relic."
Not only Mr. Jin, but also several other appraisal experts and famous collectors also echoed the sentiment.
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
"Of course, no problem. I will ask the technicians to send high-definition photos of the stone tablet to the live broadcast room."
"Everyone just happened to help me identify the origin of that stone tablet..."
While he was talking, a voice suddenly came from the bottom of the pit in front of him.
"Boss, we have scanned the excavated vault and found no metal objects."
"There should be no traps here. Can we break the secret passage?"
