Tie Xiangyu took the oil lamp and went to the small well in the middle of the courtyard. But it's a pity that the light of the oil lamp is not very strong, and the small well seems to be very deep, probably only two or three zhang deep can be seen at the wellhead, and then down, it is pitch black.

"Did the three of them leave this little well?" Tie Xiangyu asked.

Tianba's younger brother signaled that he was fine, and Yang Huairen let go of him, came to the entrance and looked inside, "It seems that this is also the only possibility." ”

Lan Ruoxin roughly measured the diameter of the wellhead, "This well is only more than two feet in diameter, and people with a little fat can't go down." ”

"Yes," Tie Xiangyu answered, and looked at Yang Huairen again, "If the three of them really left here, then do we have to continue to follow?" ”

Yang Huairen was also a little undecided, this well was indeed a bit scary to look at in the dark, he bent down to listen with his ears, and he couldn't hear the movement at the bottom of the well at all, and he couldn't tell whether there was water at the bottom of the well.

And it's so deep that there's no telling what's going to be strange at the bottom of the well. When people face the unknown environment, they will always have some fear, especially this kind of claustrophobic deep well, and there will always be a feeling of careful thinking and extreme fear.

But after thinking about it, since he has followed Chai Zhizu here, if he just gives up, then this trip will be in vain, and there is a logical reason to urge Yang Huairen to continue to follow, that is, since Chai Zhizu can go down, then it means that the bottom of the well may not be so terrible.

All fear, in fact, comes from the awe of the unknown environment in people's hearts, and then think about it carefully, this well must be the entrance to an underground tunnel, since it is a dark passage, that is to say, there are other roads at the bottom of the well, those imaginary ghosts and monsters, are just shadows produced in the heart.

Tie Xiangyu saw that Yang Huairen had been hesitating and didn't speak, so he said, "I think I can go down and continue to follow, the time has been delayed for a long time, if I don't go down again, I may really lose it." ”

Yang Huairen nodded, "Well, that's right, since Chai Zhizu is so mysterious, then he must have a more secret conspiracy, if we just give up, we may not have a chance to know what he is doing, and if we have to deal with it in the future, we will be completely in a passive situation." ”

He then turned his head and said to Tianba, who was sitting on the ground, "The four of us, we can't all go down, we must leave one person to guard the well, in case this is a trap, when we all go down, once someone blocks the wellhead from above, then we all have to be blind under the well."

Tianba, your foot is injured, it is better for you to stay at the entrance and guard, if we don't come back tomorrow, you will find someone to come back to save us. ”

Tianba's younger brother didn't seem to be very pleased, and jumped up with his swollen and painful right foot, "I, oops, I'm fine, besides, if my brother is no longer by my brother's side, then who will protect my brother?" ”

Tie Xiangyu was a little impatient, and said angrily to Brother Tianba, "Don't be reckless, look at the width of this wellhead, do you think your big body can go down?"

Asking you to stay at the mouth of the well is also to protect the safety of the three of us, and if we can't come back at sunrise tomorrow, you can still find someone to help! ”

Lan Ruoxin seemed a little worried about Yang Huairen, "Do you really want to come along?" It's better for you to stay at the entrance with Tianba, and I'll go down with Mr. Tie. ”

Yang Huairen smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, many things not only need your martial arts, but also some times, they also need my mind." ”

Lan Ruoxin sighed worriedly and helplessly, "Then I'll go find the rope." ”

"No need," Tie Xiangyu stopped her and pointed to the stone wall under the wellhead, "You see, there are some stone mortars dug by hand on the stone wall below the well, and I think it is likely that these stone mortars are used to climb. ”

The three of them slowly moved down the stone mortar on the stone wall, Tie Xiangyu volunteered to walk at the bottom, Lan Ruoxin followed, and Yang Huairen was the last to go down.

Tie Xiangyu and Lan Ruoxin both have some skills, and they can climb down while freeing one hand to take an oil lamp, and the more the three of them go down, they also find that the space under the well has gradually become wider.

I climbed down to a place about ten feet away from the mouth of the well, and finally saw the bottom of the well, and found that it was a dry well that had been dry for a long time.

Or it can be said that the existence of this well is not for the purpose of excavation to get water, but indeed it is just the entrance to an underground secret passage, and the ground is made into the appearance of a well, perhaps just to hide people's eyes.

The bottom of the well was very flat, about a foot square, and the three of them soon saw a hole in the vault. The entrance to the cave is not wide, about seven feet high and three feet wide, and it can only be passed by one person, and if it is taller, it will not be able to stand up with Ben's waist.

By the light of the oil lamp, you can still see the traces of the cave when it was first excavated, and when you look into the cave, it is even darker, and it is impossible to tell how long the passage is.

"As I expected, this is an underground secret passage that I don't know where it leads."

Tie Xiangyu said that she continued to walk in the front, and Lan Ruoxin put Yang Huairen in the middle this time, and she was at the end to protect Yang Huairen's safety.

The three of them cautiously walked slowly along the secret passage, and there were traces of excavation on the stone walls on both sides of the way, and they did not find any dark rooms or mechanisms in the middle.

However, Yang Huairen calculated from the direction of the excavation of the secret passage that this secret passage should be a secret passage out of the city, but the secret passage was too long, and the three of them walked a distance of more than three hundred steps, but they had not yet found where the other exit was.

Yang Huairen began to become a little worried, it was not a way to go on like this, and when he was about to say something, he suddenly heard Tie Xiangyu shout, "Look! ”

Yang Huairen poked his head, followed the direction of her finger, and found that the secret passage more than a dozen steps ahead suddenly became wider, as if it was a secret room, and the path of the secret passage was also blocked by a huge stone door.

The three of them stepped forward and took a closer look at the small stone room, and found nothing unusual, but the stone door was made of granite, and from one side alone, they couldn't tell how thick the stone door was, and the door crack in the middle of the stone door was also tightly closed, and they couldn't see what was on the other side of the stone door.

Tie Xiangyu tried to push hard against the stone gate with both hands, and found that no matter how hard she tried, the stone gate still didn't move.

"Don't be stupid, come and help!"

Tie Xiangyu shouted, Yang Huairen stepped forward helplessly, and instead of pushing the stone door, he pulled her aside, "Are you stupid, don't talk about us, even if we have thirty people, this heavy stone gate can't be opened!" ”
