Xiahou lit the candles, and the candlelight was actually blue, but it soon illuminated the entire cave, and then he saw that there was nothing to be worshipped on the altar, but there were a few stones that had been crawled with cobwebs there.

With the help of the blue light, Xiahou and I looked around, and after making sure that there was no search value here, we blew out the candle and left here.

said that he was leaving, but in fact, he just walked to the deeper environment of the ancient temple.

The area of the ancient temple is very large, and after discussing with Xiahou, I decided that it is safer to act together, especially now that it is obviously daytime, but no matter where the ancient temple is, there is no natural light at all.

Consistent with the ancestral hall room seen before, all the rooms in this ancient temple are very simple, and you can basically see the whole room clearly by scanning a circle; And no matter which room we enter, there will be a lit candle on the candlestick, so that Xia Hou and I will not be blind when we enter the room, and we can't see anything clearly.

"L.A., did you find any clues?" Xiahou asked me after looking at the last room.

I shook my head and exhaled in frustration before saying, "No, but I think we haven't found anything." ”

Xia Hou listened to my words, his figure was slightly stunned, he frowned and thought for about a minute, he suddenly said: "This ancient temple is an ancient building, and it is not a place where ordinary people live, so there should be a basement or a dark room or something like that." ”

"If that's the case, where do you think such a design would be set in the ancient temple?" Xiahou's words made me pause, so I immediately asked.

"I'm not sure about this, after all, you and I just walked around, and there are too many rooms in the ancient temple." Xia Hou shrugged helplessly.

I naturally understand what Xiahou means, but it is too troublesome to go through so many rooms again, and it is too troublesome to carefully check whether there is a dark room in each room when you go, and it also consumes a lot of physical strength and time.

"Maybe we can search by elimination." Just as I was Xiahou's voice sounding again.

"Tell me about it."

"This kind of ancient building, under normal circumstances, should be designed with a basement or secret room, and this kind of place should be designed in a place with less traffic, but because it is a temple, in addition to such a place, there are several places that are most likely to have such a design."

"If you choose the latter, let's look for the possibility of the latter first." After listening to Xiahou's analysis, I made a choice without hesitation.

Xia Hou nodded: "The room where we came first only has the ancestral platform, and the treasure hall where the monks chant and meditate, that is, around the Buddha statue..." ”

Following Xiahou's doubts, I recalled them carefully, and didn't find anything wrong, so Xiahou proposed to start looking for clues from there first.

I have no objection to this.

Because Xiahou had just mentioned that the Scripture Pavilion had a strange feeling, when I entered the room of the Scripture Pavilion again, I paid special attention to the surrounding environment

In line with the feeling of the entire ancient temple being empty and gloomy, the Scripture Pavilion was also filled with such a feeling, I frowned and took a deep breath, and then separated from Xiahou and looked for a mechanism in the room that might be to enter the basement or secret room, and all of a sudden, the sound of flipping through books and knocking on the wall or floor was heard throughout the entire Scripture Pavilion.

"L.A., I think I finally know why this place gives me a strange feeling." Just as I lifted a scripture map hanging on the east wall, Xia Hou suddenly walked up to me and said.

I was startled, and immediately turned around and scolded in a low voice: "Why don't you make a sound when you walk, it's scared to death." ”

Xia Hou blinked depressedly: "You are quite bold, how could you be scared to death, and this is the point I want to say." ”

“？” I raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"This room is carpeted, and because it's old, it's covered with a thick layer of ash, so it's easy to hide footsteps when walking, and this room is noticeably brighter than any other room when the candles are lit."

According to what Xia Hou said, I walked two steps on the ground at random, and sure enough, I found that I couldn't hear any sound at all if I didn't listen carefully, as for the brightness of the room, maybe because I listened to Xia Hou's words, I had a preconceived feeling, so I also felt that the brightness in the room did become a little higher.

After this incident, Xia Hou and I investigated the room more carefully, and finally found a slightly raised part on the floor in a corner that resembled the entrance to a rat hole.

If I hadn't touched such a place by mistake, it would have been impossible for anyone to find it, and when I transmitted this information to Xiahou, he laughed at it.

Pressing the raised part, because there was no movement for a long time, I suddenly felt that what I might have found was not the mechanism, so I stood up and was about to go to other places, when suddenly there was a small sound in the rat hole.

"L.A., get out of the way." As the subtle sound grew louder and louder, Xia Hou suddenly grabbed my arm and pulled me some distance from the mouse hole.

The moment I left the place, I shivered with extreme coldness, because I saw dozens of large black rats gushing out of the mouse hole, and then there was a turmoil on the ground, and the wall with the mouse hole was directly half stomped on half.

After a period of time when the walls were being trampled, the entire room was covered with a large layer of ash, and Xia Hou and I had no choice but to temporarily evacuate the room and not enter again until twenty minutes later.

After entering the room again, Xia Hou and I couldn't help laughing, because of the bombardment of the wall, the secret room was fully exposed, and even the staircase leading to the underground under the empty floor of the secret room was also exposed.

Xia Hou and I both had flashlights on our bodies, and we walked down the stairs.

Looking down from the entrance, the staircase passage leading to the underground was only one meter wide, but it was dark inside, just in case, I walked in through the staircase first, and Xiahou followed closely behind me, shining a flashlight on the passage in front of me by the way.

The passage was a bit long, and we couldn't see the front at all by flashlight, and because the passage was closed for a long time, we didn't dare to light candles at will.

After walking for about ten minutes, Xia Hou and I suddenly noticed a faint light coming from the passage in front of us, so we immediately accelerated our progress.

As the light source in front of me became brighter and brighter, I thought that this passage might lead to the outside of the ancient temple, but it turned out to surprise both Xia Hou and me, because the light source was actually from a super large night pearl.
