Chapter Twenty-Three: Breaking into the Netherworld and the Ghost House

I rushed over in a hurry, and when I looked at it, it was really gone!

I'll quickly ask everyone to look for it with a flashlight.

Finally, at the top of the cave at the end of the passageway, the cigarette butt was seen moving at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The reason for this is also very simple: due to the age of the machine, the speed of the flat road is actually normal and slow, but the higher the higher the faster, because the machine will implicate other parts every time it moves, resulting in the conveying link will aggravate the movement trajectory, inertia, the higher the forward top, the larger, then the greater the moving distance.

At this time, I happened to see the cigarette butt move, and a square hole appeared on the top of the cave for only one person to enter and exit, and I put my hand deep into it, and I could feel the wind blowing my fingers inside.

"We've got to climb in, there's wind in there, there's a lot of space!" As I said to everyone, I asked Liu Erhe and Yan Liang to lift me up.

It was very dark inside, probably a tunnel like a pipe, so I quickly propped my hands on the entrance of the cave, and pushed my waist into the tunnel, and when I entered, I looked back and saw that the hole was already narrow enough to reach a person.

It seems that this machine is getting faster and faster, and I have no choice but to wait for them to turn over one by one.

Once we were all together, we crawled deeper into the tunnel.

In a few moments, I was showing my head outside the tunnel, and as soon as I opened my eyes, I was stunned by what I saw.

In front of me is a hall, about three meters away from me, there is a nine-step high step, in the middle of the steps is a stone slab that is paved down obliquely from top to bottom, the top of the stone slab is carved with a unicorn beast, and on both sides of the step there is a majestic four phases, one with a sinking head and one with a high head, with a fierce light in his eyes, an evil face and fangs, and a stone tray on his head, in which the fire is faint, and the green and faint light shines on the door of the hall.

I don't know how many years the fire has been burning, it will not be extinguished, although there seems to be a fire jumping, but there is no sign of extinguishing at all.

I slowly dragged myself halfway out of the tunnel and stood still.

Looking up along the steps, the building on it is a bit like the temple of the monk's temple, two stone pillars are erected on both sides to make the support of the roof, the top cover is covered with scattered gray tiles, in the middle of the roof, there is a stone plaque, which is engraved with four big characters———— Hellish Mansion.

This is the underworld! I was cold all over, and I didn't dare to move when I looked at those four big characters.

Although this Hades Mansion is hearsay, the deepest layer of terror is actually the Yama Temple, that is, the Hades, and we actually found the tomb of the legendary Lord of Yama!

Suddenly, my ass was pushed up, and when I looked back, Liu Erhe was sweating profusely and hitting my buttocks.

When I came out, I became bolder, and I slowly walked towards the door of the underworld, my legs couldn't help but tremble, and the fire of the underworld reflected the four big characters in green.

Soon everyone climbed out of the tunnel and came to me.

I recalled the ancient books I had read, there were very few records about the underworld, I used to read the Journey to the West, I only thought that the Yama Hall could not have more than a dozen floors underground, and there were eighteen floors of hell!

Above the Hades is a row of majestic city walls, all gray, illuminated by the fire of the underworld, which looks extra terrifying.

I looked around, all over the terrain, behind which there are high mountains towering, the mountain wall is polished with light, there is a stone spring on the left, only the waterfall is in the shape of a waterfall but there is no water fragrance, and then look at the mountain wall on the right, it is also straight into the sky.

Surrounded by mountains on three sides, this entire claustrophobic space is all green, and I look at the faces of the people around me, and I shudder.

I wonder if I can see the real Lord of Hades in this underworld?

I thought about it and stepped on this unicorn stone steps.

Who built this tomb and why it was built here, with many questions, we walked in step by step.

When the body completely walked into the city wall, the faint fire disappeared immediately, gusts of yin wind blew from nowhere, blowing goosebumps all over my body, I saw a blue brick tomb in front of this house, there were two rows of unicorn lamps on both sides, the wick had already run out of oil, I don't know if it can be used.

I asked the plug to try it with a fire fold, and the bolt sounded good and went away.

I don't know if it's because my hands are shaking, or if this gust of wind blows, and the bolt can't open the match.

The bolt was also in a hurry, and shook it twice, and then the fire broke out on its own.

The bolt blocked the fire with his right hand, and leaned against the wick with the match in his left hand.

I tried it twice, but the wick didn't catch up, and we didn't dare to go inside, and I didn't know how many mechanisms we had encountered along the way, it was already dark here, and once I encountered something and fell, if it was the abyss, it would definitely be dead.

Just when we were at a loss, the wick suddenly lit up on its own.

We looked up at the green wick and felt that it should be fine, so we went inside.

Because it was the fire lit by the bolt, we walked in the front, and we followed in turn.

Just as the bolt's feet were about to step into the tomb, a green fire dragon suddenly rose, crawled along the tip of the wick to the wall on the right, circled from above and then went down to the ground, like a fire dragon flying through the sky, circling out!

I endured the sharp pain under my feet, stepped forward and jerked the bolt back.

The bolt was startled, and watched with wide eyes as the fire dragon in front of him circled to the end, and he lay on the ground, looking at the fire dragon for a long time without making a sound.

As I expected, there's a mechanism here! Presumably, on the wall, it may be a bit of a doorway!

Although the circle of fire was very thin, it was clear that it seemed to climb up the ravines on the wall and on the ground, and this was the fire ditch that had been dug a long time ago!

I am familiar with this thing, and in those ancient books I have seen, there are records of the hidden yin fire in this tomb, and this mechanism is very easy to use, and it is deeply loved by the owners of all kinds of tombs.

But the one in front of him is a little different, that is, the speed at which it flies out of the fire dragon is much slower than the fire dragon coil rope recorded in the book.

So I immediately concluded that the Tao here is on this wall!

Now that the yin fire canal here has been burned, I am not afraid, I slowly approached the wall, and when I looked from the side, I found that the wall seemed to be coated with a thin layer of fire oil, black, and the dark green flame was burning on this fire oil, and I could still hear the sound of crackling and burning in this fire oil.

It may be that there is no exploration in this tomb all year round, so there is only the wind coming out, but there is no wind coming in, and when we go inside, it happens to drive the air flow, so when we enter, the flame on the wick instantly pounced on the fire oil on the wall, which touched the mechanism of the fire dragon circling.

It's really dangerous, almost got into another life, and when the bolt reacted that I had saved his life, he immediately turned around, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to me, and shouted while kowtowing: Thank you for saving him! Thank you for saving me!

It was also frightened, and I held him under the armpit and propped him up, and both of his legs began to go limp.

Ancient books say that the ordinary fire dragon does not hover for too long, because the fire in its fire channel is limited, and it is impossible to burn all the time.

So we just stood where we were, quietly waiting for the dragon in the fire canal to disappear.

Because of the spectacular spectacle of the fire dragon circling just now, we can also clearly see what is inside this tomb.

The height of the tomb road is not very high, just enough for a few of us to walk in from the inside, the top and bottom are paved with stone bricks, and every half meter is the body of a fire dragon.

As I expected, it didn't take long for the fire dragon to slowly subside, and I took the lead and walked in first, observing the fire channel on the ground as I went.

There seems to be black powder in this fire channel, presumably it is used to ignite the fire, this kind of fire is not extinguished unless it is burned by itself, man-made is not extinguished, if it is stained with a little, it will burn more and more, and the burning will be bigger and bigger, if a living person happens to touch, even if it is stained with a little flame, it will slowly burn into ashes.

This Lord of Yama is really merciless!

The tomb road is not long, we have not walked long and have come to the end, and when we get out of this tomb road, we look at the place outside, and only then do we realize that it is really like the Yama Hall in my heart.

The structure inside this place is a bit like a courtyard house in Beijing.

On the left and right, there are rubble roofs with rolled eaves, and the place in front of it looks like the general's mansion, with a large open stone door, and you can see the inner hall inside from here.

Although the halls on both sides are made of stone, the carvings on them are lifelike, the curtains and doors can be seen clearly, and the carvings on them are also very exquisite.

I saw a door open in the hall on the right, so I decided to go in and take a look.

Lao Jiu and the bolt are now because of my existence, and they have rescued them many times along the way, so they are extremely dependent on me, and they are busy following me when they see me going inside.

Before I could see the furnishings in the house, I suddenly heard the sound of thunder in the air, and when I looked up, I saw that the corners of the mouth of the statue facing us were rising slightly.
