Chapter 28 028 Village
Finally, around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, he arrived at the destination of his trip, Cork, the second largest city in Ireland.
Although it is said to be the second largest city in Ireland, it actually has a small population, with a permanent population of around 20.If you put it in Huaxia, it is estimated that the population of many counties is larger than this.
This is a city built at the mouth of a river, and the buildings of the city are mainly distributed on both sides of the Li River.
And unlike Dublin, which looks modern, the city of Cork is full of classical meaning.Especially the buildings in the city are almost all buildings with three floors or less.
As a city that retains its classical style and strong Irish characteristics, Cork naturally attracts a large number of tourists.
For example, when driving through the urban area, Liang En saw two huge cruise ships moored on the pier, as well as many tourists who obviously came from all over the world.
After booking a room for himself in a hotel in the urban area, Liang En drove out of the city and drove to his destination in the southwest of the city.
After driving out of the city along a two-lane asphalt road for nearly 20 minutes, and then along a road that was almost annihilated in the weeds for five or six minutes, he finally arrived at his destination: Michael Village.
After parking the car on a grassy field by the side of the road, Liang En came to a small slope only ten meters away from the parking space and looked towards the ruins of the village not far away.
Because this area is located on a plain as a whole, even if it is just a small slope of five or six meters high, standing on it can give a panoramic view of the ruins of the entire village.
Since the village has been abandoned for more than 100 years, what Liang En presents now is the ruins of a village that has been almost completely swallowed up by nature.
The long time has caused the wooden structures in the village buildings to basically decay.Only those stone walls have survived to this day.And those ruins are the last thing left in the world by this village.
It's no wonder that the clue left by Jacques de Brian will point here.Both the proximity to the port and the fact that this small village is not too different from the rest make this place an ideal treasure trove.
After taking a general look at the situation inside the village, Liang En stepped on the soft grass and walked towards the largest building wreck in the village, which was where the church in the village used to be.
Because as long as you look at the layout of the village, you can know that the only church in the center of the village that fits the title of the most holy place in the whole village.
As a country where almost all the people have a devout belief in religion, almost every village in Ireland is built with a church as its core.
And the ruins of the church standing in the center of the village now are such a church. Like those ordinary country churches, this is also a small stone church with only the main hall and the bell tower.
"It seems that this building has a history of at least 400 years." Liang En, who majored in archeology as a university student, inspected the small church and quickly analyzed some specific conditions of the church.
Like other buildings in the ruins of the village, the church also fell into ruins.Even the entire roof of the building has now collapsed due to the complete decay of the wooden beams and created a huge pile of rubble inside the church.
In the same year, the roof probably fell directly to the ground at one time, and as a result, even the walls of the church collapsed, leaving only half of the walls standing there.
It may be due to the blessing of the gods, so the rubble pile in the direction of the pulpit is not too large.After a simple calculation, he felt that he could do it in just one or two hours.
Seeing that there were still about three hours before dark, Liang En took out all the equipment he had prepared earlier from the trunk of the car, and then began to clean up the ruins.
According to the knowledge he had learned in school, he first cleaned up the broken tiles with weeds on the top, and then sawed off the decayed and blackened beams under the tiles with a saw.Finally, clean up those beams.
Fortunately, not many of the fallen stones from the surrounding walls had landed near the pulpit, so he was spared the work of clearing the head-sized ones.
In this way, the whole work is obviously much easier than he expected before.After just over an hour, Liang En cleared out about seven or eight square meters of ground on the pulpit.
Since it is said to be the holiest place, the most sacred place in this church should be the pulpit, because this place is not only where the clergy preach, but also the tables with religious symbols are placed here.
In addition, if the last 12 is understood as the twelve o'clock direction, then this also happens to point to the pulpit.
After cleaning off the last layer of dust and building debris with a shovel, slabs of stone emerged from under the construction debris.
Different from the simple repaired stones used to build the exterior walls of the church, the stone slabs used for paving the floor here have not only been trimmed into a rectangle of the same specification, but also polished on the top, and even have some simple patterns.
These were some small stone slabs whose sides were about the length of the palm. After careful observation, he found that the concrete around the two stone slabs was different from the other concrete, and there were obviously some traces of being pried open and then repaired again.
After taking out the large iron hammer and chisel from his side, Liang En began to beat hard on the two stone slabs.
It was indeed not such an easy job, but fortunately these stone slabs were not that big, so after more than an hour, with a few slight bumping sounds, he successfully pried the two stone slabs away.
However, unlike what he had imagined, what was exposed under the stone slab was compacted soil, and there were no holes or containers filled with treasure as imagined, but only some compacted soil.
This gave Liang En a head-on blow. Feeling a little unwilling in his heart, he quickly took out a steel drill and began to explore the soil under the two stone slabs little by little.
As a result, after he spent 20 minutes poking those two small pieces of land into briquettes, he had to admit that there should be nothing hidden underneath.
"Did someone take the things away before, or did I misunderstand in some aspects?" Liang En, who was a little frustrated, sat down on the ground that had been cleaned up before, and then showed a thoughtful look.
A few minutes later, he realized that he had missed some places before, so he stood up and began to check the two stone slabs that had been chiseled just now.
Sure enough, there was a difference between the two stone slabs. One of them was uneven at the bottom, which was an ordinary paving stone, but the bottom of the other stone slab was smooth and had many characters carved on it.
"mmp, did the Frenchman design decryption games before?" Liang En felt a rush of blood rushing to his brain the first time he saw the lettering under the stone slab.
At least in his opinion, the guy who can design this kind of treasure hunting plan is obviously out of his mind, because it makes people really unable to figure out whether he wants people to find what he left behind or not people find.
Soon, he translated all the French on the slate.It turned out that this time the slate was only talking about the origin of the village.
