After passing the gatehouse, the night owl continued to walk forward without looking back. Li Wenyuan had no choice but to retract his gaze and continue to walk forward behind the night owl leader. Li Wenyuan secretly calculated in his heart, and now he was almost out of the courtyard of the night owl. But I haven't seen the dungeon yet, could it be that if you really want to go on like this, will the dungeon be built outside the county of Zhangye? If that's the case, then it's a bit tricky.

But Li Wenyuan's doubts were quickly answered, and when he walked forward, the night owl commander said to Li Wenyuan: "His Royal Highness the Tang King, pay attention to your step. From here, we're going to go down the stairs. From here, the stairs may be a little steep, and the torches next to them are not as well lit. After all, this place is already very close to the inside, and if there are too many torches, it will only make the air more and more dirty, making it difficult for people to breathe, and even the risk of fainting. ”

After saying that, the Night Stalker Commander took a torch from the shelf next to him, and after lighting it with the torch next to him, he still walked in the front. Li Wenyuan followed the Night Stalker Commander down the stairs. At the first corner, I saw a stone wall in front of me, not to mention the uneven surface, and in some places there was the reflection of torches.

Li Wenyuan was curious, so he reached out and touched the reflection. I was shocked: no wonder these night owls are not afraid that people will come to dig tunnels to dig through the dungeon to save people from escaping, it turns out that the dungeon is surrounded by tired stones as walls, and iron juice is poured on the gaps between the stones.

This level of sturdiness will take an hour to blow up even if Li Wenyuan's most popular and powerful explosives are used in the army. Not to mention the tools that the common people can only use, shovels and stone chisels, and smashing their heads on the wall, just leaving a white mark. It can't shake the stone wall at all, so there is no need to think about it, someone will dig a tunnel to enter and rob the prison, so as long as you keep the only entrance, this dungeon is a fortress that will never be captured.

All the way down the steep stairs, I don't know how long it took to walk out. Li Wenyuan only felt a little dizzy walking around the load-bearing pillar in the middle, and finally the night owl commander no longer went down, but came to a passage.

The group extinguished the torches and threw them into a nearby water tank. After all, this place is underground, and if it really catches fire, it will definitely kill people, so it is careful to start a fire here.

After the fire is extinguished, you can still see your surroundings with the help of the light of the torches placed on both sides of the wall. So the group continued to walk forward, and after a short while, they came to a black gate. The Night Stalker reached out and slammed his hand on the door. Listen to the sound, the whole door turned out to be made of steel. And judging by the sound, the thickness of this door is definitely not thin, otherwise it would not make such a dull sound.

Not long after the Night Stalker knocked on the door, a small window opened to the inside. Later, after the people inside saw through this window that the person outside was the leader of the night owls, they closed the window and called the people next to them to open the iron door together.

Because the iron gate is too heavy, in order to ensure that it is relatively easy to open and close quickly, a slide rail was made under the iron gate and a wheel was installed. But even so, when the two sturdy night owls inside dragged the iron door open, it still took a lot of effort for the entire iron door to open slowly.

After the iron gate was opened, Li Wenyuan followed the night owl commander and continued to walk inside. The air here is also different from the filth in the empty passage, and there is a lot of moisture in the breath here. And along the passage, you can faintly hear the wailing of people, the sound of cursing, and the sound of crying for mercy. Li Wenyuan's originally tired spirit suddenly lifted, and it seemed that he had finally arrived at the destination of his trip———— the secret dungeon of the night owl.

Sure enough, the group continued to walk forward for a long time before they came to a relatively wide place. In this place, the voices of people crying for help, cursing, begging for mercy are heard more clearly. This is a closed space, in addition to the direction of entry, there is also a gate in each of the other three directions, Li Wenyuan asked the night owl commander where the three gates lead?

The night owl commander pointed to these three gates and said to Li Wenyuan: "Your Royal Highness the Tang King, starting from this gate on the left hand side and going to the right, there is the bedroom of the night owl and the staff here; night owls and the canteen of the staff who have passed here; And on the far right is the passage to the dungeon. ”

Then, the night owl commander took Li Wenyuan from the first gate on the left and looked over one by one:

When the door on the far left is opened, there is a long and narrow passageway, densely packed with wooden doors on both sides, and when you open a wooden door, you can see two single beds, two desks, two bookcases, and two wardrobes for personal belongings and clothing.

Obviously, this is the night owl and the staff's bedroom here, and each one is a double room, the overall space is relatively sufficient, and the brightness of the lights and candles in the house is not low. In addition, the interior is decorated like an inn, with fake doors and windows installed on all sides, so that people can live in it and have the illusion of living in an inn, rather than living underground. Obviously, the psychological pressure caused by long-term underground living has been fully considered in the design, so this kind of costume is set up to relieve the psychological pressure of the people living here.

Pushing open the second door from the left, the one in the middle, is an extremely large space, larger than the previous three, with tables and chairs lined up in one corner full of jars.

The night owl commander introduced to Li Wenyuan that some of these jars were filled with wine, bacon, and pickles, and the purpose was to burst out all kinds of food that was easy to store for as long as possible. As for the staple food, the cook transports the daily portion to the downstairs in the morning every day, and occasionally sends some vegetables and fruits to improve the lives of these people underground.

Finally, I arrived at the third door that Li Wenyuan was most interested in during his trip, that is, the one that led to the prison cell.
