Chapter 350: The Underground Palace (2)

The most eye-catching thing is an ancient plank road standing in this underground cave, and I don't know who built it for what. This ancient plank road is three feet wide, and along the edge of the cave, it stretches infinitely downward, and I don't know where it leads. Although in the cave, the stone path turns back and forth, and it is common for confusion to intertwine. But at this time, the strange rock shapes we see in our eyes are strange that we can't see in the next place. Testing the solidity of these rock formations, I carefully climbed a large rock and stepped onto the boardwalk.

I don't know how many years have passed, but the wood is still very solid, and it has not been squeezed with too much dust. The more I walked, the more I felt uneasy, as if I was walking along the passage, to the depths of the underworld, to the netherworld hidden at the darkest end of the world.

"Brother Shuzi, why do I feel so cautious and panicked! It's a really eerie place, and I always feel like someone is staring at me. Xiao Jiusi looked around and shook his shoulders.

Sanzang and I cautiously paid attention to the situation around us, "It's okay now, nothing abnormal, just be careful!" ”

There is a section of the plank road that is very oppressive, the rock on the top is pressed down, and the head is bent down, or it can be rubbed over the scalp. finally passed this paragraph, and just straightened up, I was stunned by the unseen and unheard of wonder I saw in front of me. I don't know where the sun's rays come from here, and when I go out from the plank road, it's an underground wasteland. A waterfall is pouring down from the top of your head into a pool of water, splashing droplets of water and printing colorful light in the sun. The impact of the water brought an earthy yellow waterwheel, which was actually made of clay, and it was still running after so many years of water flow and time.

The wheel of this waterwheel has eight corners, and as the waterwheel rotates, the eight corners in turn dip into the pool of water under the waterfall. The copper plates tied to the horns jingle the bells. The horns were drenched in water and stained with maroon mucus. Inside the waterhole on the ground, there was a black, snake-like thing wriggling, the color of the thing was indescribably filthy, and there was a kind of soul-stirring poison between the wriggling. Sanzang and I opened the 'underworld' early in the morning, and we could clearly see the black aura of the forest.

On two of the corners of the waterwheel, there are actually two people hanging on them. Looking closer, one of them was a middle-aged strange man with a slightly obscene appearance. The other, but a little familiar, after a little thought, seems to have seen it during the military training procession, it should be a classmate from the same department as us.

The two of them were all lying on it, without a trace of movement, but their appearance was terrifying. It's just that the upper body of the two of them is still intact, and the lower part of the drooping down itself is not so beautiful, only a pair of bones remains, with a little meat foam sporadically, and the internal organs such as intestines fall out, and they are also eaten unevenly.

The waterwheel wheels clamped the middle-aged man, slowly immersed in the water, and as soon as the toes touched the water, the black snake-like thing in the waterhole wriggled excitedly. It quickly wrapped around the middle-aged man's feet, and as the water wheel turned, his legs were gradually wrapped tightly, trying to reach the falling internal organs. There was a tingling gnawing sound on the scalp, and even the white bones were gnawed into tiny cracks.

The waterwheel was still turning, and the middle-aged man left the pool, and the entangled black strange thing fell, floating up and down in the pool, and a series of bubbles suddenly appeared on the surface of the water like a pot. The boy who was caught in the other corner followed the rotation of the waterwheel and entered the pool, just as in the previous picture.

The black mass of unknown creatures suddenly split into two groups, one still standing under the waterwheel, and the other rushing towards the shore where the three of us were standing, accompanied by a gurgling bubble sound. Different reminders, the three of us retreated at the same time, away from the pool. The black mass rushed out of the pool and slapped on the shore again, struggling and twisting a few times before reluctantly sliding back into the water. But he still refused to leave, just kept churning around the shore.

Unconsciously took a few steps back to make sure he was away from the edge of the pool, and then took a closer look around. In a boulder crevice, there is a faint "whining" sound, which looks very eerie, sad and cold, and it sounds in this kind of place, which is even more concerning.

I glanced over there, moved my steps, and walked that way, Sanzang and Xiao Jiu followed behind me, and the flashlight hit into the gap, but it was like an arch. Cautiously passing through the gap, I was greeted by a tall wall of quartz. The stone wall is carved with a circle of spiral stripes, which are clearly not naturally formed, and there are traces of artificial carving. Although the spiral is rudimentary, it is fine and complex, forming countless grooves and folds, and the strangest thing is that these stripes still seem to wriggle, giving people a bewildering feeling.

My heart shook suddenly, my eyelids jumped wildly, my consciousness had begun to blur, I quickly retreated and closed my eyes, my teeth bit the tip of my tongue without hesitation, and the stinging sensation hit, and the feeling of confusion was suppressed, and the person was more sober. Shouted: "Don't look at that totem!" ”

Unfortunately, I was still a step too late, and no one responded to me, so I closed my eyelids fiercely, and then I opened my eyes, but I didn't dare to stare at the quartz stone wall again. The eyes fell on Sanzang and Xiao Jiu, their condition was not very good, Sanzang still struggled, but Xiao Jiu was completely hollow and fell in.

Raised his eyelids lightly, stared at the root of the wall that was not engraved with stripes on the stone wall, took off his shirt, groped with one hand to cover the surface of the stone wall, and held the stick for pathfinding in the other hand, and poked it vigorously according to the Sanzang acupuncture point, "Sanzang, wake up!" ”

Sanzang's brows were furrowed, his eyes fluctuated, he blinked, raised his hand and pressed his forehead, rubbed his temples vigorously, shook his head, and then looked at me a little confused, "Brother Shuzi, what's going on?" ”

Holding the clothes with both hands, he didn't let it slip off the stone wall, and pointed his chin in the direction of Xiao Jiu, "Don't ask yet, take a look at Tang Xiaojiu, you have to wake him up quickly!" ”

Sanzang turned his head to look at Xiao Jiu, and saw that he was still stunned, so he stepped over and shook Xiao Jiu, "Tang Xiaojiu, you wake me up!" Seeing that he didn't react, he reached out and slapped him the face a few times, and then choked his middle again.

"Hmm!" Stimulated by the pain, Xiao Jiu reacted, with a muffled snort in his mouth, and his pupils began to fluctuate violently. After a while, his eyes finally rolled. (To be continued.) )
