In front of the stone gate
I don't know when, the sky began to snow again, which made Yu Siqi, who was already struggling, stumble all the way. + Pine, Pine, Rose, Small+ said that in the end, Luo Ning seemed to be unable to stand it, and forcibly carried him up. It was strange to be carried on his back by a skeleton of bones, but no matter what, his body was finally able to stop overloading.
In this way, they finally arrived at the canyon that Wan Jie said. Indeed, judging from the distribution of the surrounding rocks, the size of the battleship was most likely impossible to observe up close. It seems that Wan Jie has really picked a good hiding place for them, but now there is a new problem in front of them, they should find a place where they can make a fire to keep warm as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to continue to maintain their body temperature.
"We're not going to have to go through the canyon, are we?" Gong Chen put his hand to his mouth and asked with a hot breath: "This damn night is too cold." ”
"Not necessarily, I remember very well, there's a hidden entrance right around here." Wan Jie bent down and groped in the bare snow for a moment, then pulled out a chain of strange material and pulled it hard.
A dull and strange sound echoed around them, not loud, but somewhat eerie.
Immediately after, Wan Jie walked to a sharp rock not far in front of them, brushed off the snowflakes on it, and then pressed her hand on it. Seeing Wan Jie slowly sink into the ground with the sharp stone, an ancient and deep underground passage appeared in front of everyone.
"What is this?" Yu Siqi couldn't help but ask.
"The underground temple, which has long been forgotten by people, although I know that it is underground, but I have always thought that it is just a legend. Who would have guessed that it really existed, and that it was actually in this canyon. Luo Ning quickly answered Yu Siqi's question, "I think it's probably because there is nowhere to go that the tax official will take us to this place." After all, something terrible happened in this place! ”
"What's the problem?" Gong Chen leaned over and asked.
"More than 100 priests in the entire temple were sacrificed overnight on a snowy day... That's right," Luo Ning deliberately lowered his voice after noticing that the attention of others was attracted to him, and said, "It's like the current snowy day, all of them were killed." Then several groups of investigation teams were sent over, but they all returned in vain. In the end, the place had to be closed and sealed in an unknown underground, and only the most high-level personnel were able to regain their location. ”
"All killed? That's kind of interesting. Father Ann suddenly became a little interested, and pulled his gaze downward.
"I'm good, you're not going to investigate an old case from years ago, are you?" As soon as Gong Chen finished saying this to Father An in a mocking tone, he heard heavy footsteps from below, and then Wan Jie, who had gone down before, appeared in front of them.
Judging by her expression, she seemed to be angry with someone.
"I thought you'd be a little more mature, Ronin. As a result, they waited down there for almost five minutes, and they didn't see you leading them down. Can you tell me what is important that is delaying you? ”
"I'm sorry, Tax Collector." Luo Ning hurriedly lowered his head, and then whispered: "Big guy, come down with me, if you have any stories you want to hear, you might as well wait until you get to a warm place and continue talking." ”
"I have no opinion." Father Ann said.
"I actually wanted to go down for a long time, but seeing that you guys were chatting so well, I couldn't bear to dissuade you." Gong Chen said unashamedly.
"I almost believed your nonsense."
Yu Siqi had a whimsical plan to make a snowball to smash Gong Chen, to express his 'dissatisfaction' with his eyes open and talking nonsense. But because the range of movement was too large, it shook directly from Luo Ning's back. At this time, he began to regret why he was messing around. However, there was no regret about taking the medicine, unless he rewind the time a little earlier. Unfortunately, just as he was about to do so, a strong arm held him steady, completely avoiding his close contact with the ground.
I guess it was Father Ann who helped him again, but he thought about it in a blink of an eye, no! Father An stood behind Gong Chen, no matter how powerful he was, he couldn't help himself without Gong Chen moving! After all, his arms are not made of rubber, so there is no way to bypass Gong Chen's body! So the question is, who is it? This kind of touch is definitely not what Luo Ning's ribs can have. And he was also very sure that it wasn't Gong Chen, so there was no reaction to this thing at all. There is only one possibility...'After thinking so much, Yu Siqi, after standing still on his feet, looked up at the person who helped him, it was actually Wan Jie. After noticing her gaze, she turned her head and walked down the steps and said, "Come on, there are still several levels down there that I need to open, and I don't want to let me not have a good rest because of your grinding." ”
Since Wan Jie said so, others naturally didn't dare to say more. In this way, their figures gradually disappeared under the ancient steps, and no one knew what was in this long-abandoned prison. As all of them went underground, the steps behind them gradually faded into thick rocks. The braziers on both sides glowed pale blue when people passed by, and Yu Siqi noticed that the flames that appeared out of thin air would continue until they were far away.
Then Yu Siqi also realized that they seemed to have walked a long way down before they saw a somewhat broken stone door standing in front of them. Looking at the closed door, Yu Siqi guessed that most of the procedures needed to move on. Sure enough, not long after he had such an idea, Wan Jie stood in front of the stone gate. Watching her place her left hand on the stone door while her right hand made a gesture of writing, Yu Siqi had the illusion of whether she was going to write something on the stone door. Immediately after, his conjecture came true, although it was a little different from reality.
Yes, when Wan Jie wrote her request to enter in Lamentiani on the stone gate, a line of text actually appeared on the stone gate, a line of very mottled and ancient text. Originally, it was almost impossible for Yu Siqi to understand this kind of ancient Lamusiani text, but he was surprised to find that he could actually read the meaning.
Look at what it says: "Venerable Three-Pillar Body, please forgive us for not being able to respond to your request. Given your current physical condition, rushing you into the temple will only hasten your fall. This is not our intention, nor is it our duty. It is our duty not to let anyone pass through here, and this is the order of the Master. ”
This seemingly euphemistic but unhelpful statement to Siqi is naturally very unpleasant, let alone on such an occasion.
Wan Jie stretched out her finger and wrote on the stone door: "You don't need to worry about my affairs, you still have to worry about yourself." I'll give you a choice, open the door or die! ”
The stone door hesitated for a moment, but finally opened slowly.
"What did she talk about with the broken stone?" Gong Chen hooked Yu Siqi's neck and asked.
"Why are you asking me this?"
Yu Siqi wanted to pretend to know nothing, but he was easily recognized.
"Oh, come on, you kid just stared at that stone door! Let me tell you, I've got a good look in my eyes. Gong Chen pretended to strangle Yu Siqi and said, "Hurry up and recruit from the truth, otherwise I will be unkind to you." ”
"You won't." Yu Siqi looked at Gong Chen's smile on his face, he knew that the other party was joking with him. So he gaged and said, "I really don't know, you misunderstood me." ”
"Really? I thought I'd guess you, but it turned out to... Ay... This thing is really what a priest should do, and I have nothing to do with his job. Gong Chen let go of his arm and laughed at himself in frustration.
"I don't mind you doing that, as long as you can."
Father An glanced at Gong Chen with a wicked smile, and gently nudged Yu Siqi, motioning for him to follow Luo Ning and them.
