Chapter 130: Strange Caves, Strange Iron Gates
Du Ang tiptoed to try to light his movements, for fear that he would make some noise and wake up his father, and when he went out of the door, Du Ang came to the corridor, looked up, and saw that the light really came through the small hole, diagonally upward, and shot at the corner of the top of the corridor.
However, this is not the end of the light.
Du Ang saw that in this corner, the light was refracted again, and if he looked closely, Du Ang found that in the corner there was a small and hidden mirror, which would not attract the slightest attention if you did not look closely.
At most, it's the size of a fingernail.
Judging by the angle and position, this small mirror must have been deliberately placed here, where the light refracted and formed a parallel state to the top of the corridor, pointing straight in the opposite direction - it was the back door of the Earl's Court.
The light got here, and it was blocked by the back door.
Duang hurried over and opened the door.
Outside the door, there is the back garden of the Earl McNers's Palace.
Relatively speaking, the back garden of Earl McNuss Court is not large, a little shabby, not as magnificent as the royal garden, only equivalent to most of the standard football field, open the back door, the light is not blocked, from the corridor shot out, it is outside the back door, the position of a goalpost.
And on this doorpost, there is another small hole!
It's just that, unlike the small hole in the wall of the house before, this small hole is not straight, but presents a fan-shaped angle, and the light is refracted in it and then points to the depths of the back garden, and the reason why there is such a refraction angle, obviously, there is also a very small lens in the position of the small hole in this doorpost, otherwise, such a refraction angle is simply impossible.
Duon walked in the direction of the light.
The night was deep, there was no one in the back garden, it was silent, only occasionally there was a rustle of the night wind blowing the branches and leaves, Du Ang muttered in his heart while walking, fortunately this is in his own home, if it is replaced by the wilderness, this kind of dead of night, he must not have the courage to come out to play adventure, but since it is at home, it doesn't matter, if there is any danger, as long as he shouts a few times, he will call the escort warrior who is responsible for patrolling the night.
Besides, although his level is a little lower, he is still a genuine magician, isn't he?
That's a fart!
The light swept through a bush, Du Ang took a few steps back, learned a trapeze Liu Xiang, and jumped over with a standard hurdle position, because now the endurance has increased, Du Ang's physique is also much better than before, if it was placed in the past, he would not have the ability to jump so high and so far, it is estimated that he will trip over the bushes halfway through.
The physique of tofu dregs mixed with farts kills people!
Of course, although Duang's physique was better now, he was not to the point where he walked across the cornices, and he stepped over the bushes, but he was quite embarrassed, and was scratched several times on his leg by a small branch.
"Damn...... It must be that old gardener who is lazy again, how long has it been since he pruned these bushes? Grow so tall, wait, tomorrow I will sue you fiercely and deduct half of your salary! ”
Duang grinned and rubbed his legs, muttering indignantly.
But this is still not the end of the light......
Every once in a while, there will be a turning point, so that the direction of the light is refracted, anyway, in the back garden of his own house, there are not so many scruples, Du Ang turned left and right to follow the light, dizzy and I don't know how many turns, finally, the light shines on a stout big locust tree, and it ends!
The final destination!
"It's the end?" Du Ang looked up at the big locust tree, nothing special, no different from other locust trees in the back garden, maybe it was a little bigger, and it was very normal to slap it a few times in the past, and I didn't see any strange reactions.
Duon scratched his head a little.
I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, tossing for so long, sweating and bleeding, is this really a prank made by someone who has nothing to do?
Can you?
Thinking about such a rigorous and meticulous route of light refraction, just those mirrors used for refraction are quite a big project, is it really just for a prank to spend so much energy?
As soon as this idea came out, even Du Ang himself didn't believe it!
The current Earl's Court of McNus is the first generation of Patriarch Dirk, who made his mark in the Great Patriotic War? Placed by McNuss and later repaired several times, every patriarch of the McNus family who held an official position in ** would live here.
These ancestors and ancestors are all people who do great things, and there shouldn't be anyone who has the leisure to play pranks like this, right?
This is certainly not a prank, but something else.
It's just that, even if there is really any mystery, it must be at the position where the light hits the trunk, and the position where the light hits the trunk is on the top of Duang's head, and it is impossible to reach it, he is only thirteen years old now, although his height is tall compared to his peers, but it is not yet complete, far less than the height of adults.
After thinking about it, Du Ang went to move the telescopic stool that the gardener usually used to prune branches and leaves, and put it under his feet, although Du Ang was tired enough to choke on such a toss, but he had no complaints, if he didn't get things to the bottom of his heart, he would be aggrieved.
Now, standing on the stretch stool, you can reach the spot of light as soon as you reach out.
However, Du Ang touched it for a long time, and he didn't find anything unusual here, there was no difference from the rest of the trunk, Du Ang frowned and got off the stretch stool, thinking to himself that this is not right, if there is no here, where should it be?
Du Ang suddenly thought, is it on the back?
Check it out!
He moved the stretch stool behind the trunk of the tree and stepped on it again to touch it and touch it...... Sure enough, Du Ang found that there was an inconspicuous protrusion on the trunk on the back, and Du Ang's heart moved, it should be this.
But what is it?
If you touch it with your hands, you can only get a rough shape, but now it's dark, and the light here is so dark that you can't see the reason with your eyes wide open.
Just when Du Ang was puzzled and wondered if he would wait for the dawn to come back to see what was going on, suddenly, for some reason, this small protrusion turned slowly.
At the same time, there was a slight grinding sound, as if it were the sound of the gears turning.
At this time, Du Ang's feet trembled, the ground trembled, he almost fell, and Du Ang hurriedly took a step back.
It was subtle, as if it were the sound of a stone slab rubbing against the ground.
Du Ang saw that just below the big tree, where he was standing just now, there was a crack in the flat ground, a neat, square crack, it turned out that under a layer of floating soil there, there was actually a huge stone slab, and now, the stone slab was slowly receding, displaced, and then, a black hole appeared in front of Du Ang's eyes.
An authentic entrance!
Du Ang was afraid that something strange would break into it, so he put up with it for a while, but there was nothing, the sound of the gears and the sound of the stone slabs rubbing disappeared, and the surroundings became very quiet again.
It was only at this time that Duang cautiously leaned over and looked down.
It's black, there's no light in it, it's like a bottomless black hole, and it looks a little scary.
A cellar to store things?
Wrong!
Du Ang had lived in the Earl's Court for thirteen years, and he knew where the cellar of his family was, and it was certainly not here.
Unable to see the situation below, Duang thought for a moment, silently recited the incantation, and the flames sprang out on the tips of his fingers, and by the faint light of the fire, Duang saw that there was a stone staircase, leading straight below.
Would you like to go down and have a look?
Duang was very entangled.
Go down, if there is anything bad in it, it will be bad, so that every day should not be called the earth and the earth are not spiritual, even if you die in it, no one will find out.
But it won't go down...... I'm sorry for my thumping curiosity.
Go down and have a look!
In the end, curiosity prevailed, and Duon kept the fire on his fingertips alive, and then cautiously walked down the stone steps.
Of course, in order to guard against the danger that may arise at any time, Du Ang grabbed a handful of itch powder in his hand.
As soon as he went, a strong smell of dust rushed into Duang's nostrils, and there was dust everywhere, and Duang couldn't help but sneeze a few times.
I don't know how long no one has been here, and there is a smell of old and decay everywhere.
Duon walked down slowly and carefully, holding on to the stone wall next to him, maybe the seal here was not too tight, rainwater seeped in, and the stone steps were a little damp, and there were a lot of dark green moss growing on them.
The soles of my feet rubbed against me, and they were a little slippery!
Fortunately, this hole is not very deep, it only took less than ten minutes for Du Ang to go to the bottom, there are no stones under his feet, it is a very ordinary dirt road, the winding path is deep, can only accommodate one person to walk, Du Ang swallowed his saliva, continue to move forward, I don't know how far to go, after turning a zigzag turn, Du Ang suddenly found that just in front of him, there was a little faint light!
Duang was shocked again, could it be that there is someone here?
He hurriedly stood up, held his breath, and pricked up his ears to listen, but for a long time, the faint light was still there, but no strange sound came out.
Dead silence!
Duang breathed a sigh of relief, and boldly continued to walk, and after walking for a while, a door made of metal appeared in front of him, which was tightly closed.
At the end of the day, there is no more road.
I don't know how many years have passed on this door, and it is already rusty, and the faint light shines through the crack in this iron door.
"What is this place?" Du Ang muttered vigorously in his heart, it was so strange, he had never heard anyone say that there was such a place in the back garden of his house.
Duang reached out and pushed the iron door, but did not move, but there was no response.
Pulled, too.
Is it rusted or locked? Doon examined the door closely, but found nothing like a keyhole...... (To be continued.) )
