Chapter 1156 Ghost King Pit

……

In Yamaguchi Village, and even in the entire Yamaguchi Town, there is no one who does not know the murderous name of the Ghost King Pit. And as long as they are mining here, no one dares to go deep into the mine, let alone walk around. If you get lost in an underground mine, you may never get out again!

"If you are willing to wait here for death, then you can wait here!" the old man with an unswerving face finished speaking, held his headlamp, and strode towards the depths of the mine.

Just when Zhang Erchun and the others looked at each other, Liu Dong had already followed behind Old Man Zhang.

"You're bold!"

Seeing Liu Dong, Old Man Zhang was somewhat surprised.

"Hehe, I don't have a place to go anyway, it's safest to follow you!" Liu Dong complimented without a trace.

At this time, looking at the two people who were getting farther and farther away, Zhang Erchun and the three of them in the back looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and hurriedly followed!

This time, the mine cave is extraordinarily deep, and there are many forks next to it, and the black hole is invisible, which makes people daunting at a glance.

"Elder Zhang, why don't we find a way out of these forks in the cave and go to the Ghost King Pit?" Liu Dong asked.

"You are a stranger, you don't know, the mines in these forks are all left over decades. Decades have passed, and many of them have collapsed or been buried! Moreover, with the shortage of Qingtian stone resources, many mines have formed pits in continuous excavation. We don't have cables on us, and it's too difficult to find a way out of these mines!" Old Man Zhang shook his head.

"Then it's not easy to find a way out of the Ghost King Pit, right?"

Ghost King Pit, just by listening to the name, you know that it is not a good place.

"Of course it's not easy, but it's because it's not easy. Therefore, the original old mine cave is basically preserved. Not destroyed. So. If we're not unlucky, we should be able to find our way out!"

Although he said this, Zhang Lao also had some doubts in his heart.

In the hearts of their locals, the murderous name of the ghost king pit can stop children crying at night!

It is precisely because of this that people are deterred from mining there, and most of the old mines from decades or even hundreds of years ago have been preserved.

Old Man Zhang's words fell, and Liu Dong nodded clearly. Didn't ask again. And the atmosphere in the entire marching team became silent again.

For an hour, two hours, people in the darkness did not feel the existence of time. Under the threat of death, exhaustion and hunger are forgotten. The only supporter of them is the hope of living.

This time, Liu Dong really saw what it means to know the way of an old horse and what it means to be experienced!

Although Old Man Zhang did not have the relics that he could see in advance, Old Man Zhang was able to accurately find the way to one direction in the complex cobweb-like mines. Although it is inevitable that there will be a little wrongful path in the middle, it can often be changed back quickly.

Even if you come across a deep pit, you can find another hole to bypass.

And the method that can allow Mr. Zhang to accurately identify the direction is the thickness of the dust accumulated on the ground. The shape of the cave, the traces of excavation around it. These may seem like inconspicuous features.

And Mr. Zhang's rich experience has also maintained a trace of vitality in the team full of pessimism.

After about seven or eight hours of walking, the surrounding caves suddenly widened. Many of the caves that could only be walked hunched over or even crawled seemed to have disappeared all at once.

"Look at your feet! Don't trip!" Old Man Zhang's reminder suddenly sounded in the mine.

"Wow......!"

"Tamad, that's scary!"

After a few exclamations, Liu Dong also saw something that caused a commotion.

I saw that on the edge of the mine cave more than two meters wide, two white skeletons fell to the ground. The clothes on the skeleton were rotten. But judging from the shape of the hair that has been preserved, these two skeletons were at least figures from the late Qing Dynasty during their lifetimes. Basically every skeleton has a pig's tail lying next to its head that has not completely rotted!

Looking at the hollow eyes of the bones, it added a bit of hideousness in this gloomy environment.

Liu Dong also obviously found that after walking past the two white skeletons just now, the atmosphere in the team became even heavier.

However, God is obviously not willing to let them go so easily. On the way forward, many decaying white skeletons appeared one after another. Judging by the integrity of their skeletons, it is clear that the cause of their death was not to be killed, but to be trapped in a cobweb-like minehole without finding a way out!

"It's here!"

After following Mr. Zhang for more than an hour, the other party finally stopped.

Because the mine cave has widened, Liu Dong also walked behind Old Man Zhang smoothly. With the bright headlamp on his head, Liu Dong also saw the situation in front clearly.

If I have to describe it, the situation in front of me is like the abandoned underground coal mine in the first part of the movie "Journey to the Center of the Earth".

At this moment, the five people were standing at the exit of a mine, with a bottomless pit under their feet, and more than a hundred meters above their heads to be able to faintly see the uneven rocks on the top of the mine. In front of us is a huge stone forest of different sizes and thicknesses.

In these stone forests, even the thinnest one has a diameter of twenty or thirty meters, and at first glance it looks like a pillar of heaven.

Moreover, there are obviously Qingtian stones in these stone pillars, after the old man Zhang's headlamp shines on the nearest one, the Qingtian stones of different colors on it emit a faint red, green, yellow, purple and other colors of light.

Liu Dong didn't know how many of these giant pillars supported the stone cave in front of him. Because, even if he had reached the 1,200-meter radius of the Relic Yuanguang, he couldn't find the boundary of this super giant stone cave.

Looking at the situation in front of them, it was as if they had left Earth and came to a completely different underground world.

"Uncle Zhang, this is the Ghost King Pit?"

A few people who were completely stunned by the magnificent scene here only reacted after a long time and asked.

Listening to Zhang Erchun's trembling voice, Old Man Zhang also nodded with amazement.

In the past, he had only heard his father talk about the majesty of the Ghost King Pit when he was a child, but now he saw it with his own eyes and felt firsthand how incredible this artificial miracle was!

"In the past, this place was not called the Ghost King Pit! But it was called Gongmyeong-dong! Since the Han Dynasty, the mining of Qingtian stone has been in Gongmyeong-dong. For more than 1,000 years, the Qingtian stone of Gongmyeongdong has been supplied to the royal family and the scholars of the world! It was not until the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty that the Qingtian stone here was dug up and completely fell down, and it became a terrifying ghost king pit!" said the old man Zhang with emotion.

"This place has been dug up for more than a thousand years!" Zhang Erchun exclaimed.

"Fifteen hundred years to be exact, if it hadn't been excavated for such a long time, would you have been able to see this majestic scene that is not man-made?" asked Zhang Lao rhetorically.

However, if the situation in the Ghost King's pit is exposed, I'm afraid that this place will become a world miracle like the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang!"

The shock brought by the majestic scene in the ghost king's pit temporarily suppressed the fear of death in everyone's hearts.

"By the way, Uncle Zhang, why was this place called Gongmyeongdong before?" Ding Chuan said curiously.

"Stupid, don't you know that Zhao Gongming is the God of Wealth?...... It's not called Gongmyeong-dong, it's replaced by the God of Wealth Cave, how cheesy!"

After reprimanding Ding Chuan, Old Man Zhang looked around with a headlamp.

"Uncle Zhang, what are you doing?"

"What are you doing? of course it's looking for a place to go down!"

"Shouldn't we hurry up and find a way out of the mine?" Ding Chuan asked.

"Get out, you've seen the bones on the way here, and if you want to find a way out of the mine here, there's no door!"

"What then?"

"Go down to the bottom of the cave!"

"The bottom of the cave?"

"That's right, if you want to get out of the Ghost King Pit, you either need to go from the top or the bottom, and these two places have the fewest forks. We have the greatest hope of getting out alive, and if we want to go out in other places, we are simply looking for death!"

Zhang Lao's words fell, and everyone looked at the surrounding cave walls with the help of the light, densely packed like beehive-like holes, and gradually agreed with Zhang Lao's words in their hearts.

The underground labyrinth composed of hundreds of mine caves is indeed not something that everyone can get out of alive, and it is no wonder that after this place is abandoned, it will become a ghost king pit.

"There's no place to borrow under your feet, and it's impossible to get out of the overhead mine. Now the best option is to go down!", said the old man, taking a picture to the bottom of the bottomless pit.

"Uncle Zhang, but why do we go down without even a rope?" Ding Chuan asked.

"Let's go, I naturally have a way to take you down!"

As he spoke, Old Man Zhang took the headlamp and walked back to the mine where he came.

Ding Chuan, Zhang Erchun and Yang Guohui also hurriedly followed when they saw it. In this environment, Mr. Zhang is their backbone. It is also where their hope lies in their survival.

However, Liu Dong, who was lagging behind, did not plan to leave with him this time.

When he used the relics just now, he had a new one in this huge underground mine, which surprised him to discover.

"If they can't get out, help when the time comes!"

Hearing the sound of footsteps getting farther and farther behind him, Liu Dong said in his heart.

After making a decision, Liu Dong did not hesitate, under the shroud of the relics yuanguang, he 'looked' at the ghost king pit that was more than two hundred meters high, like a cliff, took a step forward, and jumped down without hesitation.

Of course, Liu Dong didn't think about it, but he was a master of art, and with the help of Relic Yuanguang, he didn't need any rope to go down to the bottom of the cave safely.
