Chapter 20: The Candlestick That Doesn't Go Out

Following the light source, we climbed the mossy stone steps, there was no standing water at the top, my whole body was soaked, and drops of water from my clothes, shoes, and hair hit the stone steps I was stepping on. Even I had water in my mouth and ears.

I squinted at Mei Xiya, who had nothing to do, and felt a little unbalanced in my heart. Stomping his feet, shaking his clothes, and by the way, getting out of his ears, although it looks sealed, the air is indeed very fresh, and look at the stone steps under his feet, such a remote and barren place, there are man-made things, looking at the head all the time, and go straight to the stone steps above.

I felt the cold to my bones, maybe I was soaking wet, and now I was still being blown by the wind, so I was shivering with the cold, hugging my body, standing still, trying to keep warm.

"No, why is it so cold here, there was no cold when I was in the water just now. ”

"This cave is deep underground, the temperature is much lower than the surface, and there is a lot of water, it is not surprising that this area is cold, let's go, go up and have a look. ”

"Hey, don't go up yet, what if there's something up there?

"If you don't believe me, you have to believe in yourself, after all, fools are foolish. ”

"Who is stupid?"

"I'm stupid, I'm stupid, let's go, if you don't go, I think you might freeze to death here." ”

Mei Xiya's temper became inexplicable, it turned out that when I first met, she was pretending, and she wanted to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger? Fortunately, I was witty, otherwise her conspiracy would have succeeded.

After going up, it was really not cold, she walked in front of me in a red dress, she was famous for showing me the way, I don't think so, what if she wants to take the opportunity to get the baby first?

The stone staircase was hewn out of the stone wall of the cave, and looking at the stone staircase that could not be seen, I sighed a little that it took so much manpower and material resources to build this huge project, and the idea was so strange that it was by no means possible for ordinary people or ordinary people to build.

It seems that it should be a government construction or a project built by the imperial court. Although there are no treasures, this cave is very strange, and it is not surprising that it can attract huge material labor from the bureaucracy to build it, especially since there is a treasure in front of it, indicating that this is a cave with hidden treasures.

Thinking about what I'm going to see next, I'm very excited. It's been a long time since I've trotted to see something with great anticipation.

"Slow down, this stone staircase is a little old, you should be careful. ”

I trotted ahead of Mexia, and although it was narrow, the stone ladder was big enough for two people to pass side by side, and as I brushed past Mexia's cold body, I could clearly feel her body tense.

"What are you afraid of? If you're afraid, you can wait here for me. ”

"Slow down, I'm afraid, I, I'm afraid of heights. ”

"Poof, hahahaha, you're going to laugh at me to death, you ghost you tell me you're afraid of heights?"

"Really, can I pull you?"

The stairs were getting higher and higher, and looking down was a pool of clear water, and we had climbed the high stone steps, and I looked down, and we were in a very high position, and I looked at her nervous and frightened, her lips tensed, and her trembling body, and I really owed her.

I walked over and asked her to pull on my sleeve before continuing to climb up.

"Thank you, sister. ”

"It's okay, anyway, we don't know each other, and we've experienced life and death together several times, so you're welcome, let's go quickly, and you won't be scared when you go up." ”

I said that these were all words of comfort to her, this hole was not visible when I came in, but now I have climbed for a long time, and still I can't see the place above, the cave we walked on, not wide or big, looking at the stone stairs that have been going up, I think this is probably a passage deliberately left by the builders at that time.

I kept walking, and I felt so thirsty that I couldn't do it, and my stomach started to protest, cooing. I embarrassedly reached out to cover my stomach, pretended nothing had happened, wiped the sweat from my forehead, and continued to walk ahead.

"Let's take a break, it's not a problem to climb up like this, just stop and rest and walk. ”

"No, you won't want to get up when you stop, and you're not afraid of heights, are you so tall, are you sure you won't tremble?"

"I, I'm fine, but you're right, so let's hurry up, I think this is like an escape route, and if you go up, it's definitely the ground." ”

Feelings: The way we went back the way we came turned out to be going all the way down? Now we have to go back to the ground, it's difficult, it's too difficult.

"Hmm. ”

In the end, I don't know how many hours I walked, and finally I came to the end, but it was actually the ground, it seemed to be a building, I reached out and pushed the baffle on the top, and I couldn't push it open, and the material was wood, and it was not thick, but I couldn't push it away, so it was nailed on.

Mei Xiya didn't tremble at this time, seeing that I couldn't push, she also came over to help, the thrust of the two people was really strong, but still couldn't push the black wooden baffle.

"Stand down a little bit, I'll get it. ”

Seeing this, it seems that Mei Xiya is finally planning to cast a spell to break this plank to help me. When he saw that he closed his eyes, his palm flipped over, and when he opened his eyes, his palm stretched out, and then the plank finally split apart and broke a boxy exit.

After going up, it was indeed a place where people lived, but this room had long been dilapidated, cobwebs everywhere, the walls on the ground were full of a thick layer of dust, and the air was also dusty, a little choking.

"Ahem, let's get out, it's too gray in here. ”

"Well, the door is over there. ”

Tables and chairs were knocked over to the ground, blocking our way, and the cobwebs were scary. Seeing that I was scared, Mei Xiya waved her hand slightly, and all of this made way for a way out to the door of the room.

"Thank you. ”

"You're welcome. ”

No one knows that Mei Xiya can't use her spells casually in the world, there are rules in the world, and there are naturally rules in the underworld, and when the ghost arrives in the world, she can't try to use her spells to change everything in other people, if she violates these rules, what awaits her is the next unknown punishment.

When we walked out of the house, we went out into a courtyard with a pond in which the black water was full of dead lotus leaves.

There are weeds all around that grow higher than the courtyard wall, but there is a temple in the middle of it, which houses several immortals whose names I can't name, but looking at their majestic appearance, they should be very good at martial arts.

It's night, and although it's dilapidated, there are lanterns everywhere, and looking at the flickering candles, this is probably a candle flame that won't go out.

"This is an inextinguishable candle, look at the quantity, at that time, the people who built here were not just rich as simple, such an ancient building, at that time, even if you had money, it was impossible to get so many rare inextinguishable candles, this place is not like a palace, or a temple, more like a private offering. ”

"What?"

I don't know what she's talking about, but I guess there's some great treasure hidden here.

She glanced at me and continued, "Look around, you might find something." ”

"But what is that light source we're following? It can't be these inextinguishable candles, right?"
