175. Inverted bucket
Jiang Bai's body suddenly became uncontrollable and continued to move forward.
It seems that the goose has activated the anti-suicide function......
Wang Fatzi followed closely behind him, and the two of them walked in the thick fog one after the other. At first, he was still a little suspicious of Jiang Bai, but as they walked faster and faster, the white fog around them became lighter and lighter, and finally completely dissipated.
Looking back, at this moment, they were still white and vast, but with the green mountains on the opposite side as a reference, they had walked at least a few hundred meters high.
At the end of the bluestone staircase is a circular platform made of marble, which is the top of the altar, and the center of the ring is actually empty, and it is dark from above, as if this altar is the giant mouth of a monster.
Along the entrance of the cave, a circular wooden boardwalk winds down into the depths of darkness.
This is already the highest place of the altar, but the old village chief is not here, but if you go further, you will only go deep into the altar.
"Is this the Ghost Gate?" Wang Fatzi looked at the abyss, and suddenly thought of the story told by Shan Muqing.
"It's a door, indeed. Jiang Bai leaned over and measured inside the ring made of huge stone bricks, and there was a crack as thick as an arm, "There used to be a door here, but now the door is open." β
"Shall we go in like this?" asked the fat man in a low voice.
Entering the ghost gate so rashly is an extremely dangerous thing.
"If I'm right, all the secrets of the village are hidden in the depths of the door. Jiang Bai glanced at the ancient temple with incense on the mountainside, "Let's go, time is running out." β
"Time?" Wang Fatzi was stunned.
The villagers were praying, and the door opened. Once the festival of light is over, I'm afraid this door will be closed again. Jiang Bai held the skull crusher hammer tightly and stepped on the plank road cautiously, "Except for the village chief, I'm afraid no one can open it." β
As is characteristic of the structure of this massive pedaled building, on the outside, countless bluestone steps crisscross into a path leading to the top of the altar, while on the inside, only an endless plank path spirals down to the abyss.
The sunlight could only shine near the entrance of the cave, and the deeper it went, the more solemn the cold aura became, as if even the breath was slowly being frozen. The intricate incantations carved on the inner walls spread out like ancient vine stems, and the ends faded away until they melted into the darkness completely.
It's really like a black abyss, with no end in sight.
It is as if it is located in the depths of the Mariana Trench, through the observation port of a deep-sea submarine, surrounded by only the black and silent boundless water, like the beginning of chaos. Loneliness, anxiety, restlessness...... Little by little, these dark emotions seeped out of your mind, and only the occasional floating sea glowing creature made you feel alive, but there was no light at all.
"Here leads to hell?" asked the fat man uneasily, of course he would not be naΓ―ve to think that the altar led directly to the depths of hell, and in the hall of the palace, he could still meet the cow head and horse face of the housekeeper.
"I'm afraid that no one in this village has ever been here except for the village chief, and what Shan Muqing described was based on what the village chief told him to imagine. Jiang Bai nodded slightly, "And from a certain point of view, this is indeed a ghost gate." β
Jiang Bai pointed to the wall, and that direction was also shrouded in darkness, and normal people couldn't find it if they didn't concentrate on it.
"This is!" the fat man narrowed his eyes and tried to look into the depths of the darkness, but the moment he saw it, his eyes widened.
"That's why I said this is a ghost gate. Jiang Bai smiled.
"How is this possible!" the fat man whispered to himself, and an inexplicable fear arose.
It's a wooden coffin!
Wooden coffins one after another!
I don't know when they have been surrounded by dense coffins!
This platform-like altar actually extends from the inner wall with countless small platforms, and a number of coffins are placed on each stone platform. The coffins were only a step away from them, but they were too dark to see even from such a close distance.
"The whole altar is a cemetery. Jiang Bai lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of waking up the sleeping person in the coffin.
"Shouldn't they all be evil ghosts?" Wang Fatzi thought of a terrifying thought, if the corpse of each villager was put into a coffin by the village chief, and turned into a ghost after death......
"I don't know. Jiang Bai shook his head, "But it's best not to act rashly." β
Jiang Bai smelled a sense of crisis, no matter whether there were ghosts in these coffins or not, there must be a big guy in the altar.
There was no fire, but I don't know if it was lucky or unlucky, there was no obstacle along the way, and the contents of the coffin were as if they were asleep, and there was no movement.
When he took the last step, Jiang Bai did not feel any ease, but his expression became more solemn.
At the bottom of the altar is a huge, empty flat ground, because there is no end in sight, and no one knows what shape it is or what is in it.
Seeing nothing alone, he couldn't see anything, and in his mind, a simple detection map similar to a radar map appeared in front of his eyes out of thin air.
Goose Goose's radar was still very good, and he started walking towards the black dot on the map, and he knew what it was.
He took out a torch from the small vault, and when he lit it, the bright light of the fire enveloped the figures of the two people.
Suddenly there was a sense of security.
"Damn! There are torches!" the fat man was shocked.
The storage ring is just the place where the beans are pointed, and it is obviously a waste of space to put some sundries, and the fat man is not even willing to put a flashlight, but Jiang Bai actually engaged in such a luxury thing as a torch.
"Doctor Jiang, you Tinker Bell, why didn't you take out the torch when you walked the plank road before?"
"If you light a torch, you don't necessarily see anything good. Jiang Bai said quietly.
Wang Fatzi's shock was followed by fear, and a huge chill crept up his back.
The firelight acts as a barrier, instantly illuminating everything around it.
Three black lacquered wooden coffins were placed directly in front of them.
Two people and three coffins, this scene looks really weird.
Jiang Bai moved the torch to the top of the coffin, and the coffin was actually engraved with a line of small characters.
The Tomb of the White Lady!
"This is actually that woman's coffin!" Wang Fatzi's face changed, "We really ran to someone's lair this time, are the other two her parents' own? β
"Don't complain at this time. Jiang Bai shook his head with a solemn expression, "I'm afraid those two coffins were prepared for us." β
"Doctor Jiang, don't scare me. The fat man cried with a sad face.
"The two coffins were freshly made, the paint hadn't dried yet, and it was clear that someone had left them for us. Jiang Bai rubbed his fingers, "This is also a good thing, after all, evil ghosts don't make coffins for people." β
