Attracted by the strangeness of the iron gate just now, the three of them didn't pay attention to the situation behind them.

But when they saw the inner room, they couldn't help but be amazed.

The three of them have never seen such a bizarre place!

The place they were in now was just a platform, and three meters ahead there was no foundation, and it was unknown what was going on underneath.

But the walls above the vast inner chamber were hung with countless oil lamps, like stars twinkling.

The three of them didn't know what to do, and after taking a few steps forward, they looked down to see what was going on.

It turned out that the platform was connected to an extremely steep stone staircase, although there was an oil lamp above the inner room, but this stone staircase seemed to be bottomless, and Wang Tianhua and they couldn't see the situation below.

Wang Tianhua was thoughtful, then picked up a pebble-sized stone from the ground and threw it downward.

I heard the sound of stones falling on the slabs.

The three of them frowned and pondered in unison, thinking that listening to this voice, the end of the stone staircase should still be a stone road, and Xiao Hei must be below.

"Dao Chief, that Weng Zhong of yours?" Wang Tianhua wanted Ai Daochang to take out Weng Zhong to explore the way below.

But Ai Dao Chang said helplessly: "Poor Dao's ability is limited, and the distance to control Weng Zhong cannot be five meters away. ”

Wang Tianhua was stunned for a moment, and then suggested: "It doesn't matter, the Dao Leader can follow behind Weng Zhong, as long as it stays within five meters!" ”

Ai Dao Chang smiled a little embarrassedly and said: "It's not that the poor road doesn't want to do it according to the law, it's really that the poor road can't do it!" ”

"What do you say?" Wang Tianhua was a little puzzled.

"Poor people are shallow in their learning, and they can't move around at will when controlling Weng Zhong, otherwise they will be distracted."

Wang Tianhua said "oh" at this time, indicating that he knew it in his heart.

Ai Daochang's meaning is very clear, if you move around at will while casting the spell, distraction will cause the spell to fail.

Moreover, through the temptation just now, it must take a long distance to reach the ground, so Weng Zhong's method of pathfinding cannot be used.

"Let's go down!" After listening to their conversation, Gao Dao Chang sighed, then lit the fire and walked down.

Wang Tianhua and Ai Daochang glanced at each other, nodded slightly, and then followed.

The two Taoist masters of Ai Gao often go out to travel, so they both carry the commonly used fire folds.

Although there was already a "foreign fire" at this time, "foreign fire" is a match, and because it is a foreign product brought by foreigners, it is called "foreign fire".

However, after years of war, there were many fewer good people who offered incense, which led to the income of the Taoist temple being much worse than before, so in order to save money, Ai Daochang and they did not buy more expensive "foreign fire", but brought homemade fire folds.

The fire fold didn't last long, and soon the fire fold in Gao Daochang's hand was extinguished.

Daoist Ai was about to take out his fire fold, but was stopped by Daoist Gao.

Immediately, Daoist Ai knew that the senior brother wanted to use the "fire control spell" to illuminate.

The reason why I didn't use it just now was because the following situation was still unclear, and I wanted to keep some more physical strength, because the fire control spell was at the cost of igniting one's own mana, although the mana would gradually recover after that.

However, mana is depleted very quickly when used.

Gao Daochang's right hand pointed at the sword, and he said sincerely: "Heaven and Earth Xuanzong, the root of all qi, the divine fire descends from the sky, help me destroy the essence, and I am as urgent as a law!" ”

Suddenly, a small ball of fire rose from the finger of Gao Dao's long sword, which was very strange.

This "fire control spell" was originally a spell to subdue demons and destroy demons, and it can be described as earth-shattering and crying ghosts and gods.

At this time, Gao Daochang used it for lighting, which is indeed "a knife for killing chickens", which is overkill!

However, Wang Tianhua didn't know that the "Fire Control Spell" was really used, and it was a hundred times more spectacular than at this time.

But the small ball of fire that Gao Dao Chang only summoned was enough for Wang Tianhua to be amazed and shocked.

In extremely dark places, ordinary people cannot see.

Ai Gao and the two are cultivators, so they are naturally not afraid of the dark, but at this time, in order to be able to see the furnishings underground and find Xiao Hei, they have to light a fire.

And after having the light, Wang Tianhua also felt a lot more relaxed.

The reason why people are afraid of the dark is not the so-called "fear of the dark", the essence is the fear of the unknown, if you can see things in the dark clearly, this fear will be reduced a lot, and even the fear will disappear.

Generally speaking, the ground is relatively damp, but Wang Tianhua found that the stone staircase under his feet did not have moss.

Although he felt the stickiness and dampness in the air, it was caused by the heavy yin qi at that time.

In fact, the original air here is not humid.

This means that there is a high probability that there is no water underground, and not only that, but the underground drainage system must be doing a good job.

Wang Tianhua thought to himself that such a big project could be compared to the emperor's mausoleum, and such a big project could only be done by gathering the strength of a country in ancient times.

But it seems that I have never seen a record of this in a book.

Thinking of this, Wang Tianhua shook his head self-deprecatingly, thinking that there are so many books in the world, he can't read every one, and there may be more books that have been scattered and lost for thousands of years than those that have been handed down.

And it is quite possible that the books that recorded this event have long since been annihilated.

When he came back to his senses, Wang Tianhua took advantage of the firelight to look around, and felt very surprised in his heart, because he found that there were oil lamps on both sides of the stone staircase, which looked very similar to the ones in the aisle outside, which meant that these lamps could illuminate themselves without the need for lamp oil.

But somehow, at this point these lights were all extinguished, and there were even a few lamp brackets scattered to the ground.

In fact, the further down they go, the heavier the yin qi becomes.

The two Dao Masters have achieved great cultivation, and these Yin Qi do not have a great impact on them.

Wang Tianhua was also able to breathe freely in a place where the yin qi was thick because of the rusty sword in his hand.

After walking for about a stick of incense, Wang Tianhua and the others arrived at a platform again.

Looking up, the lights above were really like stars, twinkling at this time.

Seeing this, Wang Tianhua was even more confused, thinking to himself what was the purpose of spending money to build such an ingenious place?

"This place is magnificent, it can't be done without the power of one country, is this the mausoleum of some emperor?" Ai Daochang also sighed with emotion.

"I haven't heard of it." Gao Daochang said expressionlessly.

"I haven't heard of it either!" Wang Tianhua is a local, but he has never heard of an imperial tomb in Pei County.

And if there is such a major event, it will inevitably be written into the county chronicles of Pei County, Wang Tianhua has several county chronicles at home, and he has also read them, but he has never found that this matter is recorded in them.

Such a large project will inevitably have a great impact, even if the imperial court at that time deliberately concealed it, but the number of people involved in the construction was large, and it was inevitable that someone would leak it out.

Unless...

The more I thought about these three people, the more scared I became, and I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Unless all the participants are killed after the construction of the dungeon is completed, it will not be kept secret!

But when I think about it, I think this is not possible!

Because this method is extremely vicious, the orthodox court will not do such a hurtful thing at all.

There may have been some emperors who trapped all the craftsmen inside the mausoleum after it was built, but only killed a few people who knew the mausoleum's mechanism.

The main purpose is to prevent them from leaking the method of cracking the mechanism, causing the emperor to be disturbed by thieves after his death, and he will not be at peace.

However, the construction of this underground palace, if it is only manpower, will take more than ten years and millions of people before and after.

It is impossible for a sane ruler to order the killing of millions of people, which will not only lead to rebellion, but also to the rapid weakening of the country.

After all, most of these millions of people are strong laborers, and without them, the national strength will inevitably suffer.
