When you first enter the cave, you can see a ray of light slanting in, and after walking a few meters, it will be pitch black. Manzhu was stunned for a moment, then touched into his arms, and Lao Wu, who was walking behind, hurriedly whispered to her, "What are you doing?" ”

"Take a pearl of the night to light the way, lest everyone fall."

"No! In case this guy is hiding inside, you will disturb him by doing so. Qi Lu hurriedly turned around and whispered to persuade her.

When Manju heard this, she felt that it made sense, so she dispelled this idea. They slowed down and groped their way through the cave.

Where I passed, I felt that the cave was very dry, but the cave was tortuous, some places were very high, and people could walk forward with their heads held high, but some places were very low, and they had to bend down.

After walking for about half a pillar of incense, he suddenly felt that there were water droplets falling on his head and neck from time to time in the cave, which was so cold that he shivered, and the soles of his feet began to slip up, and there seemed to be a thick layer of moss when he stepped on it, if it wasn't for Manzhu's support, Ding Xiaolan almost slipped and fell to the ground.

They walked cautiously for a while, turned a corner to the right, and suddenly there was a much larger stone cave in front of them, and the walls of the cave emitted a bright white light, so that people could vaguely see the situation in the cave.

Qi Lu looked intently and found that there were white stone milk hanging on the top of the cave, and the walls of the cave on both sides were relatively smooth, but they did not seem to be artificially carved. The cave is three or four meters wide and nearly ten meters high, with a large towering rock in the middle, about a meter high and three or four meters wide.

Qi Lu circled around this towering rock, turned left and right for half a circle, and found that there was a stone gate on the east and west sides of the rock, as if it had been artificially renovated, and the two stone gates were blocked by bamboo curtains, which turned out to be a hole in the hole.

Qi Lu was stunned, stretched out his hand to lift the bamboo curtain on one of the caves, and before he could stretch out his head to look, he heard a low cry stop from the inside, and he was suddenly shocked and quickly retracted his head.

The cry began as a convulsive low sob, like that of a weak child, and then grew louder and louder, and the more sad it wept.

When everyone heard this sad cry, their faces changed slightly, and they also heard that it was a woman's cry.

Lao Wu and Manzhu hurriedly walked to the entrance of the cave, Qi Lu suddenly felt a fever on his face, he turned his heart sideways, opened the bamboo curtain in front of him again with his hand, and strode in.

The three of them were shocked when they entered the cave, there were no furnishings in the cave, but the surrounding rock walls were full of human heads.

"What's going on!" Qi Lu screamed.

"Don't be nervous, they're just rocks." Lao Wu was taken aback at first, and then said coldly.

Only then did Qi Lu come back to his senses and take a closer look, only to find that these heads were really as Lao Wu said, they were heads carved from rock. It's just that they are so lifelike that at first glance people think that real human heads are hung on the stone wall.

Qi Lu then approached to inspect it, and found that his judgment was wrong, it turned out that these stone statues were carved from the rock wall, not carved and then hung on them. There were men and women, young and old, but there was no image of a child.

The facial expressions of these stone statues are also very rich, but when Qi Lu looked closely, he found a terrible fact, because although each avatar had a different expression from the others, none of the stone statues had a happy or joyful expression!

Manzhu also noticed this detail, and she couldn't help but sigh softly: "This ghost place is a little similar to the place where I live." ”

After her reminder, Qi Lu suddenly felt a chill in his heart. Manjoo is right, this ghost cave is really like a miniature version of hell. If this is hell, then these avatars are painful souls who have done evil deeds in life and are punished by the Netherworld after death.

"Ahh There was a sudden exclamation at the entrance of the cave, and the three of them hurriedly looked back, only to see Ding Xiaolan trembling and slumped on the rock wall at the entrance of the cave.

Qi Lu knew that she was frightened after seeing these terrifying avatars, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help her out, and comforted her for a long time before Ding Xiaolan's face returned to calm.

Ding Xiaolan, who came back to her senses, wanted to enter the cave with Qi Lu, but was stopped by him. It turned out that Qi Lu couldn't bear to let her be frightened anymore, so he let her keep a sentry at the entrance of the cave, in case the mastermind behind the scenes suddenly appeared in the cave to sneak attack, Ding Xiaolan could also report in time to let them take precautions.

After Qi Lu calmed Ding Xiaolan and re-entered the cave, he heard Manzhu ask: "It's strange, who would be so boring and carve so many ugly heads here?" ”

Qi Lu and Lao Wu looked at each other and were speechless, they also wanted to know the reason, but this secret could only be answered by the carver himself, this person may have died a long time ago.

At this time, the strange cry they heard before entering the cave came out again, and when they searched for it, they found that it was the cry of a woman's head.

When they got closer, all three of them were speechless in astonishment, because it was a living human face embedded in the rock wall!

Judging from her face, she is a woman who is about twenty or thirty years old, but the curls on her head are not modern, as for the hairstyle of which dynasty in ancient times, Qi Lu couldn't identify it for a while.

What made him even more frightened was that the weeping woman's eyes were actually bloody, which was now flowing down her emaciated cheeks, adding a bit of ghostly aura to her face.

"Hmph, a lonely soul, do you also want to pretend to be a ghost in front of the deity?" Manzhu stretched out her index finger and wanted to give this strange head a fatal blow, but Lao Wu, who was standing next to her, quickly stopped her.

"Don't worry, let's ask her first, maybe we can get some clues." Lao Wu raised his head to look at the face as he spoke.

"Who are you?" When he was questioned, Qi Lu had already noticed that this human face did not exude any yin and demonic energy, which couldn't help but make him feel very surprised in his heart.

"I ...... I...... I ......" The woman stopped crying and uttered a dozen words in a row, as if she were born to stutter.

Qi Lu frowned, and asked tentatively, "Are you buried in the rock wall?" ”

"I ...... I ......" The woman suddenly showed a frightened expression, she opened her mouth wide, and shouted two words as if she had exhausted all her strength: "Help me!" ”

"How to save your ......" Before he finished speaking, Qi Lu was surprised to see that this human face turned into a lifeless stone statue in front of him.

"Hey, hey, are you alright?" Qi Lu hurriedly stood on tiptoe and asked, and at the same time touched the human face with his hand, only to find that it was completely integrated with the rock wall, as if what they had just seen was an illusion.

Lao Wu suddenly lost his voice and shouted, "Mao girl! ”

Qi Lu was stunned, and then he heard Lao Wu repeat the name again, Qi Lu suddenly came back to his senses and realized who this strange face was.

Mao Nu is said to be the palace maid of Qin Shi Huang, after the fall of the Qin Dynasty, she ran to Huashan to take refuge, where she met a strange person and learned the magic of immortality, so she cultivated into an immortal in the mountains. Because her whole body is covered with white hair, and no one knows her real name, so the world calls her Mao Nu.

Qi Lu hurriedly asked Manzhu to take out the Night Pearl, and then raised it up and carefully looked at the human face that had turned into stone, only then did he see that the woman's hairstyle was really the Qin Dynasty, and he couldn't help but turn his head and ask Lao Wu: "Is she really a hairy girl?" ”

"It shouldn't be wrong, I met her once in the Han Dynasty, when this woman knelt down and begged me to teach some spells, I saw that her qualifications were a little poor, and I didn't teach her."

Qi Lu was shocked when he heard this, and then held the night pearl to look at the avatars on the surrounding rock walls, through the hairstyle and the decoration on the head, Qi Lu recognized that they were all ancient people, and the farthest age could even be traced back to the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors.

To his disappointment, he was never able to find a living human face, all of them were cold stone statues.

Lao Wu asked behind him, "Could it be that these heads were once living people, and then they were turned into stone statues by someone with a spell?" ”

Qi Lu replied: "I haven't heard of this kind of spell, if there is, it is also a demon spell." ”

At this time, Manzhu sneered a few times in the back, Qi Lu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly turned around and asked her, "Madam, did you find a clue?" ”

"What Tian Wu said makes sense, this is likely to be the effect of some kind of forbidden technique."

"Do you know the name of this forbidden technique?" Qi Lu was overjoyed.

"I don't know." Seeing Qi Lu's disappointment, Manzhu smiled again and said, "But with my keen observation, it seems that these heads are some kind of container used to imprison human souls. ”

"Containers?" Qi Lu was stunned again, he felt from Lao Wu's eyes that neither of them could find the breath of a spirit in the avatar.

"Fairies have lived in the netherworld for a long time, and naturally they are more aware of the existence of spirits than we do." Lao Wu praised Manzhu, and he asked, "Can you break this forbidden technique?" ”

"I don't have a way to crack it." After a pause, Manzhu said, "But there's a way to try." ”

"What's the solution?"

"Since these stone statues are containers for souls, we might as well destroy them directly, and these poor lonely souls will be freed from the dungeon."

"Never!" Qi Lu's face changed drastically, "What if you destroy these stone statues, and the souls trapped inside will also be destroyed with you?" ”

Seeing that Qi Lu had some scruples, Manzhu had no choice but to purse her lips and stop making a sound.

But at this moment, they suddenly heard Ding Xiaolan's scream, which was not from outside the cave, but from the other side of the rock wall.

Qi Lu suddenly remembered that there was another hole on the opposite side, could it be that Ding Xiaolan was in danger in that hole? In a hurry, he rushed out of the cave, raised his hand and cut the bamboo curtain at the entrance of another cave with a sword, and jumped in.

Suddenly, there was a day in front of him, and Qi Lu's eyes couldn't be opened, and when his vision recovered, he was surprised to see more than a dozen ice coffins erected in the cave, each coffin had a woman imprisoned inside, and Ding Xiaolan fell to the ground trembling.

Qi Lu, who was in shock, immediately understood that Ding Xiaolan felt a little bored after being on guard outside for a long time, so he entered the cave without permission and was frightened to the ground by the surprised scene in front of him.

At this time, Lao Wu and Manzhu also came in, and Lao Wu had already helped Ding Xiaolan aside to rest. Qi Lu, who came back to his senses, opened his eyes and looked at the women in these ice coffins, and suddenly involuntarily cried out, "What's the matter...... Possible!? ”
