Chapter 307 Find the entrance
Although this picture is new, anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is nothing wrong with this picture. It should be a copy. Xiao Miao definitely did not bring the original picture.
Maybe Xiao Miao saw that I was looking seriously, so he asked me: "Chen Zhuo, did you see anything?"
"Xiao Miao, let me ask you, is this picture an ancient picture?"
Xiao Miao listened to my words, hesitated for a while, and said: "Yes, this is an ancient picture, which has been collected by our family from past generations. It is said that it is the handwriting of the previous craftsmen."
"That's right."
I spoke.
When Xiao Miao heard what I said, she was stunned for a few seconds.
Some didn't respond, so she asked me: "What's wrong?"
"Don't you know? One meter in ancient times is different from one meter today. If I read it correctly, you should use a modern ruler to measure the depth."
When I said this, Xiao Miao was stunned for a few seconds, and then she looked enlightened. After a while, she showed a look of surprise again. She raised her hand and patted her forehead, and then said: "How can I
Didn’t you think of this? It’s really..."
Xiao Miao almost wanted to "scold" herself.
Rulers in ancient times were different from today.
But there was no concept of rice in ancient times.
Ancient people often said that a man was seven feet tall. If we take the current measurements as three feet and one meter, seven feet in ancient times was just over two meters.
Needless to say, how many people in ancient times could grow to more than two meters?
Even now, there are very few people who can reach two meters.
According to the ancient convention, one foot is equal to the current centimeter. Let me tell you a few things that I remember. In the Qin Dynasty, one foot was about 23cm.
In the Sui Dynasty it was 29.6cm.
In the Tang Dynasty it was 30.7cm.
Now, one foot is roughly equal to 33.333...cm. It extends downward infinitely.
So no matter what, the ancient three feet were at least about 10cm shorter than the current three feet.
So when we measure height, we should subtract 10cm from one meter.
In other words, the depth is thirty meters. In fact, we need to measure it at about twenty-seven meters to find the entrance.
From a depth of twenty-five meters, you have to push up three meters to find the entrance.
"Xiao Miao, you are in the dark under the lamp. You didn't think of this common sense for a while."
I said calmly.
There is nothing to be proud of because he discovered this flaw. Xiao Miao's abilities are naturally superior. The reason why this happened today is most likely because Xiao Miao was negligent.
After we confirmed this, we did not delay and quickly started measuring again, and soon we reached the position of twenty-seven meters.
At this time, many lights from above fell on us, obviously wanting to see what we were doing.
When we reached the position of twenty-seven meters, Xiao Miao seemed a little nervous. He took a deep breath, then glanced at me and said, "Chen Zhuo, do you think this is really where it is?"
"Is it right here? I have to try it."
I spoke.
Xiao Miao looked at me with firm eyes, but without saying any nonsense, she nodded and said, "Well, you're right."
We soon began to search for the Buddha at a distance of fifteen meters.
We were alone, searching for a while, and I suddenly heard a sound that was different from a solid sound.
"Bang bang bang" a somewhat hollow sound sounded.
When I saw this, I quickly called Xiao Miao over. Maybe my voice was a little loud and the people above heard it. Someone from them soon asked: "Have you found anything?"
I glanced at Xiao Miao and looked at each other. I didn't hide anything and said, "Well, maybe we found the entrance."
When I said this, the people above immediately cheered as if they had been given a shot of blood. As long as they found the entrance, everything would be easy.
Xiao Miao came to me at this time, and I said: "Xiao Miao, the entrance may be here."
Xiao Miao heard my voice and started to knock here. After waiting for a while, he said: "Well, it should be here."
"Then let's smash this place open."
I didn't say anything nonsense.
After knocking on the door and answering the knock, he took out his tools and started hitting the Buddha statue.
If this Buddha statue had not been submerged by the soil, it might not be easy to break it open, but now this Buddha statue has been buried in the soil for at least a hundred years.
So it is not difficult to break it open.
Even when the tool fell on it, the "back" of the Buddha statue was a little brittle, and a fist-sized hole soon appeared.
When we saw this, I didn't delay and continued to knock for about three to five minutes. A complete entrance appeared in our sight, with a width and height of about one meter, so
If we want to get in, we can only crawl in.
But this should be just an entrance. We must pass through this Buddha statue to enter the so-called Holy Land of Ten Thousand Buddhas.
After all this was done, Xiao Miao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, this operation was organized by the Xiao family. If it returns without success, everyone will naturally doubt the strength of the Xiao family. This is definitely a disadvantage for the Xiao family.
We cleared the entrance and quickly headed up.
The time came to half past one in the morning.
I felt very tired, and so did Xiao Miao, so I said: "Everyone, the entrance has been discovered. I don't think everyone should take any action tonight. Wait for a night's rest before going in."
After everyone listened to Xiao Miao's suggestion, they didn't say anything against it.
In the current state everyone is in, it is indeed not a wise choice.
Now that the entrance has been discovered, it is only a matter of time to get in, and it doesn't take more than one night.
I quickly ate something and then returned to the tent. After two or three days of fussing, I was still a little tired.
I quickly prepared to rest, and Zhang Qing came to the tent not long after. He said to me: "Master Xiao Zhuo, I'm going out to stand guard."
"No, just go to sleep."
I said calmly.
But Zhang Qing said: "Master Xiao Zhuo, they are all being watched. If I don't keep an eye on them, we will definitely suffer if we look back."
I thought about it and realized that what Zhang Qing said seemed to make sense, so I didn’t say anything more.
I was very sleepy anyway, so after saying a few words, I closed my eyes in a daze.
Time passed by, and I don’t know how long it took, but I suddenly heard a loud noise.
This burst of noisy sounds immediately woke me up. After I opened my eyes, I looked at the time. It was 3:30 in the morning. I remember it very deeply.
I didn't waste any time and got out of the tent.
Chapter completed!
