Ten minutes later, the air in the secret escape tunnel was successfully replaced, and it was replaced two or three times.
After confirming that the air in the secret passage was fine, Xiao Ran tied up the safety rope and went down to the bottom of the pit to check the situation for the first time.
At this time, there was an entrance about one meter long and half a meter wide on the vault of this secret tunnel, which was more than four meters deep underground and made of red bricks and concrete.
Through this entrance, you can easily enter the secret passage and carry out further exploration.
Although a hole was cut out at the top, this underground secret passage was still very strong, without collapse or even cracks.
It can be seen from this that Lu Qinzhai, the great traitor, put in a lot of effort when building this underground secret passage.
After standing at the bottom of the pit, Xiao Ran immediately came to the entrance of the newly cut hole and looked inside.
It can be seen clearly with the natural light from above.
The lower parts of the walls on both sides of this secret passage are made of granite stones and are very solid.
The upper part of the wall and the vault are made of red bricks and concrete, while the floor of the secret passage is made of larger square bricks, with some artistic shapes.
The same square tile floor can also be seen on some streets on the Left Bank of Paris, which has a rather artistic flavor.
In addition, there were wires and electric lights on the wall on the right side of the secret passage, but no murals or Buddhist niches were seen.
Xiao Ran quickly took a look at the situation in the secret passage, and then said with a smile:
"It can be seen that Lu Qinzhai worked very hard to build this secret passage, but it is a pity that he did not use it until his death."
"Judging from the internal conditions and direction of this secret passage, this should be a secret escape passage, not a place used to hide treasures."
"Even if there are some antique cultural relics and works of art hidden in this secret passage, the number is not very large."
"Next, I will let my men use small drones to fly through this underground secret passage and conduct a preliminary exploration, and then send people in to explore."
Following his words, the live broadcast rooms suddenly became more lively.
While everyone was watching the live broadcast with great interest, they all talked about it:
"Xiao Ran, when you use small drones to explore, it's best to send the real-time footage to the live broadcast room so that everyone can participate in the exploration. That will be fun!"
"I also support live broadcast. In that case, everyone can see the situation in the secret passage for the first time, and maybe we can discover a few national treasure-level antiques and artworks together!"
Xiao Ran couldn't help but laugh after listening to the suggestions put forward by many fans.
The next moment, he nodded slightly.
"Of course, no problem. I will transfer the footage captured by the small drone to the live broadcast room for live broadcast."
“I’d like to satisfy everyone’s curiosity, but it’s best not to have too high hopes, lest you turn around and be disappointed.”
After speaking, he ordered his staff to prepare.
After a while, a company employee standing at the entrance of the secret passage folded seven or eight fluorescent lighting rods in half, lit them, and threw them into the secret passage one by one.
As these fluorescent lighting rods landed, the secret passage suddenly became brighter.
The picture everyone saw became clearer, but there was nothing more.
Immediately afterwards, two small drones carrying searchlights, high-definition cameras, and night vision cameras flew into this underground secret passage to explore.
As the two small drones flew into the secret passage, the situation on both sides of the entrance to the secret passage appeared before everyone's eyes.
It can be seen from the footage captured by the small drone that there are dark and long corridors on both sides, leading all the way to darkness.
Except for the electrical wiring and lighting fixtures on the walls of the secret passage, there seemed to be nothing superfluous.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ran immediately issued an order.
"Guys, first look at the floor, walls, and vaults in the secret passage to see if there are any traps."
"Then explore along the secret passage towards the villa. Two small drones fly up one at a time, trying to cover the entire secret passage."
"Understood, boss"
The two pilots nodded in response and immediately started taking action.
The next moment, two small drones flew to the ground and one wall of the secret passage to explore.
The images they captured not only appeared on the iPad held by Xiao Ran, but also appeared simultaneously in the live broadcast room.
It can be clearly seen that there is nothing else on the floor and walls of the secret passage except moss, dust, and some mouse tracks.
Next, the two small drones flew to the vault and the wall on the other side, but still found nothing.
Judging from this point alone, there seems to be no traps in this secret passage.
Although nothing was discovered, this immersive sense of participation made every fan in the live broadcast room excited.
In the excitement, everyone started talking about it.
"I'll go! This perspective is really great. It's like playing a treasure hunt game. It's quite exciting."
"Who says it isn't? This kind of swaying and floating scene gives people a really strong sense of reality and participation."
Listening to everyone's discussion, a smile flashed across Xiao Ran's lips.
Giving everyone a better sense of participation and witnessing what happens next is exactly one of the goals he wants to achieve.
While talking, two small drones flew towards the villa, but they were in a secret passage deep underground.
While flying forward, they continued to take pictures, transmitting all the images deep in the secret passage to the ground.
Unfortunately, there have been no surprising discoveries, nor any fatal traps.
It took about ten minutes for the two small drones to fly forward more than thirty meters, leaving only about ten meters away from the basement of the villa.
In the process, the two small drones found nothing good.
I only found a small rest room on the right side of the secret passage, but it was empty, not even a hair on it.
This result undoubtedly disappointed everyone.
Next, the two small drones continued to fly forward and continue exploring.
At this moment, something different finally appeared on the wall of the secret passage.
This is a stone Buddha statue about thirty centimeters high, placed in a niche on the left wall of the secret passage.
The moment they saw this Buddha statue, both Xiao Ran and the tens of thousands of fans in the live broadcast room couldn't help but be stunned.
Of course, Xiao Ran was acting, but the others were really surprised.
The next moment, Xiao Ran pretended to be surprised and said:
"Hey! There is actually a statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva here. Judging from the shape of this Bodhisattva, it should come from the early Ming Dynasty."
"And the statue is well preserved. It looks like a pretty good antique cultural relic. It's also a little surprise."
Following his words, tens of thousands of fans in the live broadcast room suddenly woke up.
Everyone suddenly became more excited when they saw that something was finally discovered, and it was an antique cultural relic from the mid-Ming Dynasty.
"I'll go! I finally found something. This is called treasure hunting. We haven't waited in vain."
"Hey! This Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva statue looks familiar. I think I've seen it somewhere, but it's just smaller."
At this moment, Xiao Ran smiled and continued:
"It looks familiar to everyone. I guess many of you have been to Lingyin Temple. In the Main Hall of Lingyin Temple, there is a statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva."
"The shape of the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva statue is exactly the same as this Bodhisattva statue, but it is much larger, so everyone will feel very familiar when they look at it."
"This place is located deep underground. Lu Qinzhai has done a lot of hard work. It is normal to place a statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva here."
"I just don't know if Lu Qinzhai ever thought about it when he placed this Bodhisattva statue. He was the one who smuggled and sold this Bodhisattva statue to France and left his homeland."
"How could Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva protect him under such circumstances? In a fit of rage, the Bodhisattva would probably send him to the eighteenth level of hell, where he would never be reincarnated!"
The tens of thousands of fans in the live broadcast room were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
"Yes! How dare he, a big traitor who destroyed so many Buddha statues, have such extravagant hopes, and how can he have the nerve to pray for Bodhisattva's blessing?"
"Don't even think about it. If there is such a thing as reincarnation, Lu Qinzhai will never be reincarnated!"
