In the dim underground world, the surroundings are pitch black, and the light of the flashlight cannot completely penetrate the darkness, only the sound of sparse footsteps echoes, occasionally accompanied by the sound of water droplets falling to the ground, in this quiet world, it seems a little weird.

"Yuan'er, if there is any danger later, you run first, don't worry about me."

"Got it!"

"Yuan'er, if there are any demons and monsters rushing out in a while, you will whip him with a locust stick."

"Superstition!"

"Yuan'er, if I die here, you will give this handkerchief to your Aunt Chen."

"Are you annoyed, you have to give it to yourself, a big man, who is arrogant and domineering on weekdays, why is he like a resentful woman now."

"You rabbit cub, if you hadn't handed you over to me, I would still be idle, no big or small all day, go back and clean you up!"

"You're embarrassed to say that if it weren't for me, you wouldn't know where you would be now? White-eyed wolf, negative man! ”

The two of them quarreled with each other, but they didn't feel that they were underground, especially Liu Yuan, who went to the ground for the first time, and was much better than Zhang Erhe, and was scolded by Zhang Erhe's "rabbit cub, rabbit cub" all the way.

The inner tower space is much wetter than the outer tower, and in the Buddha cave above the wall, all kinds of small Buddha statues, some have been eroded, and Zhang Erhe cried out heartache.

"Don't touch these things, it's not good to take them." Liu Yuan prompted, but did not explain why this was so.

Starting from the fourth floor, the further down they go, the narrower the space becomes, and contrary to the outer tower, their destination is the spire buried deep in the ground at the bottom of the tower.

As soon as he got down the fifth stone step, a faint golden light appeared in front of the two of them, Zhang Erhe was startled, and hurriedly blocked in front of Liu Yuan, Liu Yuan frowned, but he didn't find anything abnormal, but he felt a strange feeling of peace and tranquility in his heart.

"Uncle Zhang, do you feel it?"

Zhang Erhe also had a general feeling, as if he had entered the sixth floor of the pagoda, and the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart were instantly relieved.

"I feel weird, is there still a light underground?"

Liu Yuan smiled and put the black locust stick behind him, "Let's go, go down and have a look." ”

The sixth-story stone steps were only seven or eight steps away from the seventh-floor entrance, and Zhang Erhe walked in front, cautiously approaching the entrance, and the faint golden light was close in front of him.

"Yuan'er, you wait here, I'll go down and explore first." The first time he approached, Zhang Erhe immediately became cautious, turned around and glanced at Liu Yuan, and walked down.

In fact, Liu Yuan didn't know anything about the things below, seeing Zhang Erhe's serious expression, he couldn't refute his face anymore, so he had to continue to stay on the sixth floor, bored left and right, and lit a cigarette again, waiting, the fire just started, only to hear an exclamation, but Zhang Erhe stumbled up, and he didn't know where to throw the flashlight, and shouted, "There is a ghost down there!" Come on! He looked frightened, and cold sweat flowed from his forehead.

Liu Yuan was startled, and he couldn't care about lighting a cigarette, so he grabbed Zhang Erhe, "Uncle Zhang, what are you afraid of?" What the hell is there in this world? ”

Zhang Erhe was frightened, as soon as he came out of the stone steps, he was dragged by Liu Yuan, his body was paralyzed, he raised his head, panted, glanced at Liu Yuan, and he didn't know where the strength came from, and he got up again in an instant.

Liu Yuan was curious, seeing that Zhang Erhe had not yet come to his senses, he glanced at the entrance, and walked out.

"Don't go!" Zhang Erhe was shocked, his hand was half a beat slower, and Liu Yuan had already entered inside.

As soon as I entered the mouth, I felt a cool feeling coming to my face, the air was moist, the whole space was covered in a layer of pale light, the light of the flashlight was reduced to the lowest here, the visibility was only about one meter, and the sound of water droplets falling into the water sounded from time to time around, "Ding Dong Ding Dong" seemed to have a rhythm.

The more you go down, the more tactful the sound is, the stone steps from the sixth to the seventh floor are much higher than the other tower floors, Liu Yuan went down six or seven meters and has not seen the bottom, he is puzzled in his heart, and he walked down three or four meters, the faint light is still the same, a misty piece, under the light, it is the same as ordinary haze, but here, the stone steps are also considered to be at the end, and the lower end is submerged in the water as a whole, and it is not very high.

Calculating the distance, Liu Yuan was even more puzzled, Zhang Erhe just came down, it only took more than a minute to come back and forth, his cigarette was not lit, he ran out from the entrance, but he walked slower, it took more than two minutes to get here, this is only the time to come, if you go back, at least one point must be added in this world, this time difference, there are only two situations, one is that Zhang Erhe lied, and the second is that on the way, Zhang Erhe encountered a situation.

If it is the first type, Liu Yuan really can't think of a reason for Zhang Erhe to lie, saying that he is cowardly and too far-fetched, Liu Yuan doesn't think that Zhang Erhe is such a person, then there is only the second case.

The stone steps went to the end and didn't find the situation, and it seemed that the bottom of the tower should be a pool, how deep it was, Liu Yuan couldn't guess, and when he glanced around, the pale light was still bright, there was no source, and he couldn't see the change.

Liu Yuan's heart moved, the steps from the sixth to the seventh floors were a little longer, about ten meters high, and he looked at the waterhole in front of him, turned around, and turned back step by step.

"Uncle Zhang, come down!" Liu Yuan walked back and shouted, his voice echoing in the empty underground world for a long time, but he knew that he had walked nearly half the way without Zhang Erhe's voice coming.

"Uncle Zhang? Uncle Zhang? Liu Yuan shouted a few more times, but he didn't respond, and he muttered in his heart, so he hurriedly ran up, and the flashlight scanned around, but where was Zhang Erhe's figure?

"It's strange, did Uncle Zhang really leave me and run away?" After thinking about it again, it was unlikely, after thinking for a while, his eyes were cold, the room walked to the edge of the wall, raised his left hand, rubbed it on the cave a few times, the cold light in his eyes was even worse, he squatted down, glanced at the ground, and buried his head in contemplation.

"Organs?" Liu Yuan's brows were tightly locked, and he vaguely thought of something unusual in his mind, and then combined with his current location, he suddenly understood, his brows stretched, but he stood up and smiled lightly: "Haha, Uncle Zhang, you can stay honest for a while." His expression was quite relaxed, and then he didn't look back, and went down the stone steps again.

This time, Liu Yuan walked very slowly, every time he stepped down, he had to stop and take a closer look, the faint light around him was still the same, only reverberating on the seventh floor, the flashlight was almost useless, the first order, the second order., when he walked to the eighteenth step, Liu Yuan stopped.

"I see, hehe, the wisdom of the ancients is really unfathomable." At the eighteenth step, Liu Yuan squatted down, holding a flashlight in his right hand, and gently wiped the stone wall under the steps with his left hand, and finally found something.

"Seniors, juniors have no intention of offending, some things are better to give to people than to bury them in the ground and turn them into smoke, which can be regarded as a creation and offense." Liu Yuan said to himself in front of the empty pagoda, and his voice echoed for a long time, and vaguely, there seemed to be a Buddha voice.

The eighteenth staircase is no different from other places, but for Liu Yuan, the changes under the stairs can't escape his eyes, there is an obvious watershed from the eighteenth staircase, which is caused by the erosion of the water, the waterhole he saw when he walked into the bottom before, in the early years, the water level should be at this position under his feet, but due to the decline of the local water level, the water in the water beach in this tower has also fallen, as for the reason, it is a phantom that can be seen at the eighteenth staircase.

Liu Yuan flicked it with his hand, and the misty light instantly surged, and under the illumination of the light, a distorted grimace slowly appeared in front of him, with a painful expression and a struggle.

The grimace was only half a meter away from Liu Yuan, but it was more than twice as large as a normal human face.

"Oh, that's it." When he saw the grimace for the first time, Liu Yuan was also startled, but it returned to normal in an instant, thinking that there was a ghost that Zhang Erhe said earlier, it was expected that it was caused by accidentally seeing this grimace.

Liu Yuan didn't procrastinate, pulled out the black locust stick from behind, and hit it twice on the grimace, and a metallic sound echoed for a long time, like hitting a bell.

When he first heard the sound, Liu Yuan was overjoyed, took a few steps back, and moved back and forth with his hand a few times, and after seeing the grimace clearly, he found the right direction and jumped over in one step, it was actually a huge copper pillar!

Liu Yuan fixed his body, this copper pillar is only one foot square in size, a person just stands still, and Liu Yuan's body is agile, and he is an ordinary person, in such a situation where he doesn't know the situation, most of them have to suffer a big loss.

As soon as he stood still, Liu Yuan flicked back and forth with water a few times, and entered the light mist, where to distinguish the direction, so he had to rely on his feelings, groping forward, and sure enough, he found a huge grimace, different from the first one, with green fangs, like a rakshasa.

"I even used the Eighteen Ghost God Array, this tower master is so generous!" Liu Yuan exclaimed, and for a while he became more curious about the unknown things here.

According to Liu Yuan's guess, this seventh-story tower should be a scene that simulates the eighteenth layer of hell, otherwise it is impossible to go up to the sixth floor for ancient Buddha statues, and in this seventh layer, there are not only flooded pools, but also eighteen hellish evil ghosts and bronze pillar carvings, which is really a ghostly workmanship, and has to be praised!

Eighteen is said to be hell, then there must be a suppressive thing behind the eighteen bronze pillars, that is, the core of the entire underground stupa, that is Liu Yuan's goal.

Thinking about this, Liu Yuan didn't hesitate, sure enough, every time he passed a copper pillar, a new grimace would appear in front of him, a full seventeen copper pillars, each of which had traces of Liu Yuan stepping on, I had to sigh, to be able to bury such a huge copper pillar into such a deep underground, even modern people have to spend a lot of effort.

"What's going on?" However, when the seventeenth bronze pillar on the Liuyuan Pagoda arrived, he had to face strange things, the eighteen bronze pillars he expected were now only seventeen, and the remaining eighteenth bronze pillars did not appear in front of him in the form of grimaces as he thought.
