25, the gate of the ghost palace
We quickly walked through the huge cavern square where the gift, and in the distance a large cave appeared on the rock wall, and it was pitch black inside.
We soon reached the mouth of the cave, and it was pitch black. Can't see anything. We turned on our headlamps and a huge surface of water appeared in front of us, no wonder the white phosphorus here was so well preserved.
The whole surface of the water is undisturbed, like a black mirror.
"Is this a lake?" Brother Neng asked.
"It's not a lake, there's not a bit of flowing breath on the surface." Mi Ye threw a little herb powder on it and said.
The herbal powder on the surface of the water did not show the slightest sign of fluttering at all, and fell directly into the water.
"It's like a huge well." I said, looking at the water.
"That proves the past, it's impossible to swim that far away." Brother Neng said.
"Look around, there will definitely be some mechanism or secret passage leading to the other side." I said.
We began to carefully investigate the surrounding area of the cave, and there was no sign of artificial excavation at all in the entire cave entrance, which was completely a miracle of nature. Isn't it here in the past? I asked myself, this is not the place to go. My gut told me that this place was not the way to the depths, and that we were looking in the wrong direction.
"Did you find anything?" I asked.
Brother Neng and Mi Ye shook their heads, and Brother Neng said: "There is no organ or artificially excavated breath here, it is completely natural. ”
"We may be looking in the wrong direction." I looked at the calm water and said.
"Brother, then we should quit?" Mi Ye asked.
"Well, there must be another way out there in the cave, and that's the real way to the depths." I said.
"Xiao Linzi, you won't do that again, will you?" After listening to me, Brother Neng asked a little uneasily.
"Brother Neng, I'm fine, I just vaguely feel that this is not a passage to the depths, and my intuition tells me that the passage is still outside." I explained to Brother Neng.
"You're okay, let's go." Brother Neng saw that I was sober and answered his question, and said happily.
Soon we were back in the brightly lit cavern, carefully searching for possible passages.
I looked at the totem on the dome in a daze, and suddenly, I noticed that the direction of the bird's beak was pointing, and a doorway in a completely dark corner appeared in front of me.
"The door is there!" I excitedly pointed to the door in the shadows.
Brother Neng and Mi Ye were attracted by my voice, and following my fingers, a very ingenious stone door appeared there.
"Let's go." I said to Brother Neng and Mi Ye.
The three of us started to walk towards the stone gate, which was not big from where we were, but when we actually walked here, we found that the stone gate was much bigger than we thought. The huge stone door was cut directly out of the rock wall, without any pattern, and if you don't look closely, you won't notice that there are two rusty bronze knockers on it.
I looked at the huge stone door and said helplessly, "How can this be opened?" It's too big, isn't it? ”
"I'll see if I can push it away." Brother Neng said as he stepped forward to push the huge stone door.
I saw that Brother Neng was a little struggling alone, so he also went up to help, but Shimen didn't move at all, and he was not pushed by us at all.
Suddenly, Mi Ye put down her backpack and carefully searched for something on the ground. Brother Noh and I looked at her like this, and guessed that she knew that the opening of the mechanism was on the ground, so we began to search for it with her.
Finally, with our concerted efforts, an anomaly was discovered on a floor tile two feet away from the stone gate.
I saw that the floor tile is not the volcanic stone we have seen before, but a piece of jade rough that is very close to the color of the volcanic stone, the surface color of the original stone is somewhat similar to the color of the volcanic rock floor tile, the jade rough stone is polished extremely smooth, but it retains the rock layer of the mountain surface, and there are two words on it carefully, the simple and vigorous big seal, I am a little confused, if what Mi Ye said is true, then when this underground palace was built, according to historical records, the Central Plains culture has not been introduced to this southwest land.
After I carefully identified it, I found that the big seal on it was actually written "Ghost Palace".
What kind of place is this place? I was really a little confused, and Jian Hanyi said that I would get the real Great Witch Blessing inheritance here, and then I could open the real Lemo Mausoleum. Mi Ye and his people said that this was the mausoleum built for Lemo. But what is this "ghost hall"?
"Ghost Palace, you say this is the Ghost Palace? Will that lead to hell? Brother Neng asked jokingly.
"No, it's not that magical." I looked at the two words on the floor tiles and said.
"Brother, look?" Mi Ye pointed to the gap between this floor tile and the next floor tile.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" I asked a little incomprehensibly.
Mi Ye took off her necklace, pinched the pendant on it, and gestured at the gap.
I watched Mi Ye's movements and suddenly realized, "The pendant is the key!" I said happily.
Miye handed me the pendant and asked me to decide if I wanted to open the door or not.
I hesitated a little with the key, what is this so-called ghost temple? Behind the door, it won't really be like what Brother Neng said. Suddenly, I felt that I couldn't hold the small bronze pendant in my hand, it was so heavy.
Brother Neng looked at me and said: "Lao Tzu hasn't been to the Netherworld yet, what are you afraid of together, and it doesn't necessarily mean that you really go to the Netherworld." Xiaolinzi, Ma Li, we have to go back and reopen. ”
After listening to Brother Neng's words, I looked at Mi Ye, and she nodded to me, Okay, go to your ghost palace, or the underworld, we all have to end their fate in Xiaoye.
I inserted the pendant into the gap according to the texture of the gap in the floor tiles. Press hard.
Creak~
The boulder door slowly opened.
We stared at the open stone door, imagining the sight of the netherworld.
Quiet, exceptionally quiet.
I could hear our heartbeats and breathing.
There is no imaginary picture, behind the door is a staircase that extends to a high place.
"This is the Ghost Temple? Kidding me? Brother Neng came back to his senses and said.
I pulled out the pendant inserted in the crack of the ground and handed it to Mi Ye, and said with a smile to Brother Neng: "Brother Neng, you don't really want to go to some underworld, are you, I'm so disappointed to see this?" ”
Mi Ye put on the pendant I handed her again, walked over and picked up the backpack she had left on the ground before, and said to us, "Brother, do you want to go in?" ”
"Since it's not the Netherworld, of course we have to go in and get what we should have." I said.
