Chapter 8 Chapter 7 Digging for gold in the ground

Ruan Yao said: "Why not, I have already hired many workers and worked for several hours. The first layer of pavilion foundation has been completely removed, and the lower layer of granite has also been removed in half. , it seems to be a layer of granite, do you want to take a look?" I took a deep breath: "Of course, I will come with Dr. Le Sheng!" I put down the phone and immediately told Dr. Le Sheng about the situation, and then I left home immediately. Dr. Le Sheng and I arrived at the door of Ruan Yao's house at the same time. We walked all the way in. Not long after, we heard the sound of a jackhammer, as if we had entered a road repairing construction site.

When we saw Ruan Yao, he came to us happily. As soon as I saw Ruan Yao, I felt an impulse from somewhere, and immediately shouted: "Ruan Yao, stop!" Ruan Yao was stunned for a moment before saying, "Stop? Look, if there are any unimaginable consequences, it's too late now!" As he said that, he pointed to the Tingji of the pavilion. I don't know what that pavilion looked like, because when I first came to Ruan Yao's house, it had been demolished, but I was deeply impressed by that pavilion base. The base of the pavilion is made of big stones, which are higher than the ground. At this time, I saw a large piece of big stones that had been dug up and piled up on the side. There were about ten workers working profusely. The sound of the pickaxe was deafening.

The base of the big stone pavilion has been completely flattened. Under the cement, there are many square granite stones, and more than ten or twenty granite stones have been dug up. However, after the first layer of granite was dug up, it can be seen that the lower layer is still granite of the same size. At this time, two workers were drilling the second layer of granite with a pickaxe. I watched for about half a minute and said, "It's still too late, Ruan Yao, stop now, there's still time!" Ruan Yao asked back: "Why do you want to stop?" I shouted: "You dig like this, what do you hope to dig out?"

Ruan Yao laughed and said, "What do you think you'll find out? There's a cellar below, with the seal of the Supreme Lord on the cellar, and there are seventy-two earth demons and thirty-six heavenly gangs imprisoned in the cellar? After opening, there will be a black air , go straight to-" Ruan Yao spoke triumphantly, but before he finished, I yelled loudly: "Shut up!" Ruan Yao looked at me in astonishment, and I said, "Ruan Yao, don't forget that simply lifting the slate led to Professor Tang's death!" Ruan Yao took a deep breath and said, "But, it's just painted gold, and there's no danger sign. Besides, I've been working for a long time, most of the day, and nothing happened!"

I looked at Dr. Lesheng, hoping that Dr. Lesheng would stand by my side, but at this moment, Dr. Lesheng walked forward instead, because two workers had already pried up the second layer of granite. . Ruan Yao ignored me and walked forward, so I had no choice but to follow. I saw the two workers standing up straight and shouting, "Mr. Ruan, there is another floor below." Ruan Yao, me, and Dr. Le Sheng all saw that after a piece of granite on the second floor was hoisted, there was still a layer of the same granite underneath. Ruan Yao frowned and said, "It doesn't matter, you keep digging, I will provide board and lodging, and the salary is ten times what you usually work!"

The dozen or so workers who were working, when they heard Ruan Yao's announcement, shouted together, expressing their extreme satisfaction, and working vigorously.Ruan Yao said: "Look, it's all right, I have called another group of workers to work overnight." I didn't say anything, and I also know that this is the most straightforward way to discover the secrets. Although I also know that there must be some unpredictable results, but at least until now, there is nothing. Ruan Yao was supervising the work with great vigor, and soon it was dark, and the lights had already been turned on in this corner, and another group of workers arrived, the first floor of granite had been completely dug up, and the second floor was also dug up. After more than half of the excavation, two pieces of granite were broken and hung up on the third floor.

Below the third level, there is still a layer of granite. Ruan Yao snorted: "Even if you have a hundred floors, I must dig to the bottom!" He looked at us again: "I'm very tired, I'm going to take a rest, you stay here and watch, and call me as soon as you find something!" Since he was so determined, I naturally couldn't stop him, and Dr. Le Sheng didn't want to stop him at all. Ruan Yao left, and Dr. Le Sheng and I watched the workers work. By midnight, the second layer of granite had been fully removed, more than half of the third layer had been removed, and a few pieces of the fourth layer were also removed. Below the fourth layer, there was still a layer of granite.

While working, the workers talked a lot, guessing what was going on below. Not to mention the curiosity of the workers, even Dr. Le Sheng and I were dumbfounded when we saw this situation. I didn't believe that Ruan Yao would be able to sleep, but he did have to take a rest. Sure enough, Dr. Le Sheng and I watched the workers work, and even we also participated in the work, moving up and moving large pieces of granite one after another. Only then did we "drive" Ruan Yao away for less than half an hour. He appeared again! He obviously never fell asleep, because there were more red threads in his eyes. When I saw him, I said, "Why are you here again?"

Ruan Yao spread his hands: "How can I sleep? How is the situation here?" As he spoke, he walked over. At this time, since there were already two layers of granite, they were all removed, so the place where the pavilion base was originally sunken, he came to the edge of the sunken place, looked down, frowned, Then he raised his head and smiled wryly: "Another layer!" I nodded: "So far, five layers have been discovered. I dare say that under the fifth layer of granite, there must be another layer of granite!" Dr. Le Sheng said at the side: "In order to build a pavilion, laying so many layers of foundation stones is really a big deal. Looking at the situation, a building can be built on these foundation stones!"

I shook my head: "These stone layers are obviously not made for the pavilion above. I believe that there must be something extremely bizarre under the granite!" Ruan Yao looked at me with his bloodshot eyes: "Wesley, you have had all kinds of strange experiences, can you tell me what lies under these granite layers?" Hearing Ruan Yao ask me this, I couldn't help laughing bitterly. I shook my head: "I don't know, I believe no one will know until the end!" Ruan Yao said: "Okay, I'll dig to the end!" Dr. Le Sheng spread his hands: "It is possible to dig to the end, and we still don't know the result!"

I agree with Dr. Le Sheng's statement, because there are many things in the world that have no results at all.Especially in the case of mysteries.But when Dr. Le Sheng said this, it was like pouring cold water on Ruan Yao. He showed a very angry expression and stared at Dr. Le Sheng fiercely. I have already seen that Ruan Yao's mental state at this time is very abnormal.It may be due to his excessive fatigue, or it may be due to his excessive expectations. In short, if this abnormality continues, the only possibility is that there will be a greater abnormality. So, I stretched out my hand and patted him on the shoulder: "If you keep digging, you can naturally dig out a result, but I see that there are layers of granite, and I don't know how many layers there are. For things that can have results, you must rest, and we must also rest!" Ruan Yao blinked at me: "I know I need to rest, but I can't sleep, what can I do?" I said: "It's very simple, call the doctor and inject you with a sedative so that you can sleep!" Ruan Yao looked at me again and blinked for a while before saying, "Okay, I accept your opinion!" I waved to Dr. Le Sheng, the three of us entered the room together, and I called and invited a doctor. Before the doctor came, Ruan Yao was just wandering around in the room. The doctor came and injected him with a sedative. We saw him lying on the sofa and fell asleep before we left together. At the door of Ruan Yao's house, the doctor said to me in a curious tone: "Mr. Ruan's spirit is in a state of extreme excitement, what exactly makes him so excited?" I can't answer the doctor's words, but the doctor's words make me feel that the really rich people are really sad. Because they have everything, there is no new thing to arouse their senses and spirit. Stimulation, like that, what's the fun in living? I said vaguely: "It's a very mysterious matter, related to the ancestors of the Ruan family, I can't tell now." The doctor got in the car, and Dr. Le Sheng and I also broke up.We estimate that Ruan Yao can sleep for at least eight hours, that is to say, we won't be late tomorrow morning. When Dr. Lesheng and I parted ways, we agreed to call again at 8:00 tomorrow morning.When I returned home, I was in a state of confusion. Under the foundation of the pavilion, there were so many layers of neatly laid granite. What was it for? Could it be that the golden color on Rollo's map means that there are many layers of granite under the base of the pavilion? However, layers of granite alone are meaningless. What is the secret under the granite? I don't know what will be revealed if I keep digging down, but I can be sure that if I don't find it, if I find it, it must be extremely amazing. Ruan Yao hired so many workers and used modern machinery to dig out the layers of solid granite. It took so much effort. Pit, what a huge project when granite is paved layer by layer! Under whose auspices is this project carried out?The biggest possibility is naturally Ruan Yao's great-grandfather. I also remembered that Ruan Yao said that his grandfather spent almost his whole life in their family library.Then, if it is assumed that the part about this mysterious incident in Ruan Yao's great-grandfather's diary was torn up by Luo Luo, then Ruan Yao's grandfather must have seen these diaries. I was thinking about it wildly, but when I thought of this, I jumped up and stood there blankly. At that time, we were looking for Ruan Yao's great-grandfather's diary, letters, documents, and county annals in the family library of Ruan's family, but we never noticed the things left by Ruan Yao's grandfather! Ruan Yao's grandfather, since he had seen those torn diaries, he must have a thorough understanding of this mysterious matter.If this is really a mysterious matter, then his grandfather must have his own thoughts, and most likely, he also left something in the diary, but we ignored this at the time!As soon as I think about it, I feel utterly excited.It is naturally the most straightforward way for Ruan Yao to dig in the gold-painted area on the Luoluo map, but to understand this mysterious incident, the ins and outs from the beginning to the end must be investigated from the data. I know that Ruan Yao is currently asleep due to the effect of sedatives, and I should wait until tomorrow, because at this time, even if I go, I will not be able to wake him up.However, I think the three of us, since we ignored grandfather Ruan Yao's diary, letters and other materials at that time, we must be able to discover something in this respect! Originally, I had already changed into my pajamas and was about to go to bed, but I hurriedly took off my pajamas again, it doesn’t matter if Ruan Yao doesn’t wake up, the servants of Ruan’s family know me and know that I am their master’s friend, even if I put the family book They won't blame me if I try to open the door lock of the hotel. I ran out of the door and got into the car. It was past midnight and the street was very quiet. I drove the car through several red lights and headed straight for Ruan's house. When my car was driving on the main road leading to Ruan's house, I could only hear the siren of the police car and the siren of the fire engine. My car chased after me, and I had to pull the car closer to the side of the road. , to slow down. When my car slowed down, I saw a police car and three fire trucks driving forward at a very high speed. At that time, I hadn't connected the police cars and fire trucks with the purpose of my trip. However, after three minutes, I felt that something was wrong. At that time, I was quite close to Ruan Yao's house, and I could already see that there were flames and thick smoke rising in front, and Ruan Yao's house was on fire! My heart was beating wildly, and I hurriedly speeded up. When I arrived, the police and firefighters were already busy at work, and I also saw the place where the fire broke out, which was Ruan Yao's family library. I jumped out of the car and ran forward, but two police officers blocked my way, and I shouted urgently: "I am the owner's friend, there is something urgent, let me in!" As I spoke, I saw two servants and a senior police officer come out together. I called the names of the two servants again and said, "Is Mr. Ruan awake?" As soon as the servant saw me, he wiped his sweat: "Okay, Mr. Wei is here. Mr. Ruan is still sleeping. Oh, what should I do!" The two police officers, seeing this situation, let me go in, and I went straight to the building of the family library. The rescue work had just begun, and flames and thick marriages came out of that house. . I grabbed the fire officer in charge of directing the firefighting work and said, "There are very important things in this room, I want to go in and get them out!" The fire officer looked at me: "You saw this situation, no one can get in!" I grabbed his arm and shook his body vigorously: "I must go in, I must!" The way I looked at that time seemed a little crazy. The fire officer pushed me away forcefully, and I gasped: "Give me the equipment to rush through the fire window, and concentrate the water power to open the way for me. I want to go in." The fire officer sternly said, "No way!" I also sternly said: "Now, if I rush in, maybe I can still make it in time, otherwise, if I can't save anything, you will be responsible!" The fire officer shouted: "You are crazy!" I yelled, "Don't worry about it!" While yelling, I ran to a fire truck, pulled out a suit of clothes, quickly put them on, snatched a helmet from a firefighter's head, grabbed a smoke mask, and walked straight ahead. ran over. Just as I was running to the door, there was a bang, and the door of the building fell down, and several jets of water shot directly into the door. I stopped for a while, and my whole body was drenched in water. I just stopped for half a second, and rushed in amidst the screams and shouts of many people. As soon as I rushed through the door, I saw that the fire had obviously started from below, that is to say, in the place where the books were stored, and I ran to the top of the stairs, smoking thickly. The stairs were full of fire, and I couldn't rush down at all, and I couldn't see clearly what was going on below. When I came in, my body was drenched with water, but at this time, I had only rushed in less than a minute, and my hair had already started to "squeak" and scorched. I took the risk to step down the stairs, and a large puff of smoke rushed straight up, turning my eyes into darkness. Although I was wearing an anti-smoke mask, I couldn't bear it at this time. I only felt a burst of extreme dizziness. I leaned forward and almost fell straight down! Under such circumstances, if I fell straight down, there would be only one result, that is: after several hours, my body was found, and it was a ball of coke! And at that very moment, I felt someone pull hard on my shoulders, and then, someone grabbed my waist, someone grabbed me, and hugged my body out! I rushed in desperately, but under the current situation, I can no longer insist on rushing down! I was dragged out of the fire pit, and I was still conscious. I saw that the one who dragged me out was none other than the fire officer and another fireman who prevented me from going in just now. I took off the smoke mask and smiled wryly at the panting fireman. For a moment, I couldn't even say a word of gratitude to him. And at that moment, there was another "boom", and the roof of the entire building collapsed. When the roof of the building collapsed, we were so close, it felt earth-shattering, and the fire went straight up, so high that the water jet shot up, and it was completely unaffected. The fire officer pulled me and ran for a dozen yards before I gasped and said, "Thank you, thank you!" The fire officer stared at me and said, "Sir, the most precious thing in the world is people, although there are fools like you." In my life, I have rarely been scolded like this by others, but at this time, the fire officer scolded me like this, but I was completely convinced by his scolding. I gasped and said, "Thanks to you, otherwise I must die Already!" The fireman ignored me, turned around, directed the firefighting, and several more fire trucks arrived. Fortunately, the fire did not spread, but the Ruan family was already in chaos. The fire was brought under control, and at dawn, the fire had been completely extinguished, with only a little smoke coming out. I was taken by a servant to take a shower and change clothes, and then I made a phone call with Dr. Le Sheng, but no one answered, so I went to see Ruan Yao. Ruan Yao is still sleeping, but he is the victim. Both the police and the fire department need to ask him for questioning. After discussing it, there is no other way, so I have to wake him up with freezing water. Ruan Yao opened his eyes, and when he saw me standing in front of him, he turned over and sat up immediately, and said, "But have you found something?" I quickly shook my head: "No, last night, your house caught fire!" Ruan Yao was stunned for a moment, I took a few steps back, and he also saw the police fire officer. The fire officer said: "Mr. Ruan, a building has been burned." I immediately said: "It's your home library, we were still there last night!" Ruan Yao jumped up: "What is the cause of the fire?"
