The entrance to the city is mutated

What does the game of the nine ghosts mean?

"What? Have you found the secret passage into the Golden City? I asked, surprised.

"Yes! Got it! Li Qiang nodded and said, "However, we had better hurry, if it's late, I'm not sure if we can go in." ”

"What? Do you mean that the entrance to this secret passage will still be closed? I asked, surprised.

"Not off! It's ......" Li Qiang didn't continue, and when he said this, his people had already walked out.

I hugged ICE and walked out of the ruined temple with Li Yan'er after him.

The broken temple is built at the foot of a mountain, built by the mountain, there is no courtyard wall, there is a vacant lot outside the temple gate, there is a very old ancient tree in the open space, standing alone outside the broken temple, it looks arrogant and discordant.

After Li Qiang walked out of the broken temple, he led the two of us from a path on the left to the bottom of a cliff not far from the broken temple.

The cliffs are steep and overgrown with weeds.

When Li Qiang walked to the bottom of the cliff, he first looked back at the two of us, and then suddenly showed a mysterious and excited smile.

Then, he slowly cleared the weeds, and then I saw a dark cave.

The cave is not big, only enough for one person to barely get into, if it weren't for Li Qiang leading the way in front, maybe I wouldn't have found this place in my life.

"How did you find here?" I looked at Li Qiang and asked.

"I naturally have my own way!" Li Qiang looked at me and said.

"Okay!" After I finished saying this, I glanced back at Li Yan'er and said leisurely: "Do all the people in your family like this kind of selling?" ”

"Huh! Only he is like this! Li Yan'er shrugged her shoulders with a smile, then looked at Li Qiang and continued, "Is the entrance in this hole?" ”

"Yes! It's in there! Li Qiang said.

"What? Isn't this an entrance? I looked at Li Qiang and asked.

"Of course not, it's just a passage to the entrance!" Li Qiang looked at me and said.

And when he had said this, he went into the dark cavern first.

The cave is dark and damp, the ground is covered with moss, and stepping on it is like stepping on slippery mud, giving you the feeling of falling at any moment.

Since the passage in this cave is very narrow, I can only carry ICE on my back and move forward cautiously.

I grabbed Ice's arm tightly with one hand and held the wall of the cave with the other to keep my body balanced, and it was only then that I realized that this seemingly hidden cave had been dug out by hand.

The stone walls here are smooth and flat, and a large part of the stone walls on both sides are made of stone bricks with some kind of animal blood, which emit an eerie black-brown color in the light of flashlights.

The stone road is not very long, about 20 meters.

After crossing the stone road, several fires suddenly appeared in front of me.

The light of the fire came from the improvised torches on the stone wall, and the torches were very bright, apparently not long after they were lit, and everything here was very clear.

We're in a very large area, half the size of a football field. There is a deep gully on the left and right sides of the place, which is filled with the bones of various animals, apparently two burial ditches.

In the middle of this area is a circular waterhole, black as a pearl and bright as a mirror, and under the light of the fire, the water surface exudes an alluring and eerie light.

Directly above the waterhole hang nine wooden coffins of identical shapes.

The coffin was dropped in mid-air by several arm-thick black chains, arranged in a shape that seemed to be intentional or unintentional.

The appearance of these nine coffins is a strange turquoise, and in the firelight there is a strange light, and the luster seems to be even more fascinating than the most beautiful jade in the world.

And on the edge of the pool below the coffin lay six people, six dead people.

I saw that each of these six people was dressed as an outdoor worker, and some of them were still holding Luoyang shovels and military kettles in their hands. They were all black, their eyes bulging out, and their hands and feet shrank inward, as if they had been poisoned by a very strange poison and died.

"What's going on with these people?" I looked at the corpses of these six people and asked, I naturally asked Li Qiang what I said.

"They died of poisoning!" Li Qiang looked at me and smiled slightly.

"Poisoned? How could they be poisoned? I asked, and then looked around warily.

"Don't worry! There is no mechanism in this place! I have inflicted the poison in them. Li Qiang looked at me and said.

"You poisoned?" I asked, surprised. "Why did you poison them?"

"Naturally, it's to save you!" Li Qiang looked at me and said.

"To save us?" I was even more surprised.

"How can you get that woman out of that broken temple if you don't have a little accident?" Li Qiang looked at me and asked rhetorically. "Let's not talk about these useless guys! They are all young cubs who have not been in the industry for a long time, and it is not worth the time on them. Let's get down to business! ”

"What's the matter?" I answered.

"The entrance to the secret passage." Li Qiang looked at me and said.

"I just wanted to ask you, haven't you already found the entrance? Is that the entrance inside this tomb? I looked at Li Qiang and asked in surprise.

"That's exactly what I'm going to say!" Li Qiang sighed and slowly continued: "The entrance was originally just a crack in the mountains, but I don't know why after I put the torch on the mountain wall, this place suddenly changed and became what it is now. ”

"What suddenly changed?" I asked, surprised.

"Yes! We initially wanted to see what was in place, so we made a few simple torches, and at first the firelight was empty. But just as ......" Li Qiang's words came here, his whole face suddenly turned extremely pale, as pale as a bloodless piece of paper.

"What's wrong?" I asked, frowning, surprised.

"Just now...... We just ...... The way in ......," Li Qiang said in a trembling voice.

"How's our way in?" As I spoke, I turned my head and looked at the road behind me, but I didn't look at it, and I was stunned at this time.

Because, I don't know when it began, the stone cave behind us, which was originally more than one person wide, has disappeared, and only a cold and hard wall remains.

"This ...... What's going on? Surprised, I gently set Ice aside and groped with both hands on the stone wall, but no matter how much I fumbled, I couldn't find a single crack in the place where there should have been a cave, as if it had been like this since ancient times.

"When did this stone road disappear?" Li Yan'er was also a little panicked, and she asked in a haunted voice.

"I don't know! I just found out that too! Li Qiang said loudly.

"It's unlikely! If you look for it again, it may be a deviation in our vision. I said as I tried to keep myself calm.

However, at this moment, suddenly a sharp and piercing grinding sound came from not far away, and the sound was extremely unpleasant, as if it was made when an iron tool was rubbed through the glass, which made people feel goosebumps.

"What's that sound?" Li Yan'er covered her ears and shouted.

"I don't know! It seems to be ...... It seems to be from ......" Li Qiang closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, reluctantly stretched out his finger and pointed to the coffin hanging above the waterhole, and then said reluctantly: "It seems to have come out of that coffin." ”

"What? In a coffin? I covered my ear with one hand and reluctantly said, "Did we meet zongzi?" ”

The piercing grinding sound lasted for a long time, at first it was only a frequency after a frequency, and then the frequency of the sound became faster and faster, as if a person was scratching the wall of the coffin in a coffin.

And as the sound became more and more urgent and louder, the black pool under the coffin also began to roll, and in just a few tens of seconds, the originally flat as a mirror waterhole turned out to be like a boiling pot, tumbling non-stop.

As the black water in the pool continued to rise and rise, something like a white cicada cocoon began to surge up.

The cicada cocoon is very large, the size of an adult's height, the pool water is black and thick, but there is not a drop left on the cicada cocoon, the cicada cocoon is very thin, thin and almost transparent, under the reflection of the firelight, the cicada cocoon seems to be wrapped in a plump and graceful woman.

I saw that the crystal cicada cocoons gathered more and more, and in an instant, the waterhole was already full.

The water didn't move, but for some reason the white cicada cocoons began to spin in a counterclockwise direction.

At first, the chrysalis swam so slowly that you could barely see that they were moving, but later on, they began to get faster and faster, faster and faster, almost as if they were about to form a whirlpool.

And at this moment, the nine coffins that were originally selected in mid-air suddenly loosened the chains, and then the wooden coffin that was as green as jade fell straight into the water.

The wooden coffin entered the water and made a heavy splash, and the silkworm chrysalis floating in the waterhole were also moved by them.

The chains on top of the wooden coffin were pulled straight, and there was a creaking sound from time to time.

"What the hell is going on?" Li Yan'er asked in surprise.

"I don't know! Did we touch some mechanism? Li Qiang said on the side. Or ......"

"Quick...... Come on! Just before Li Qiang's words fell, Ice in the corner of the wall suddenly spoke.

Ice didn't know when she had woken up, and at this point, her face turned pale with an indescribable horror on her face.

"What did you say?" Li Yan'er looked at Ice and said with a frown.

I said...... Come on! If you don't want to die, run! Ice gasped and said, "This is the situation of nine ghosts entering the pool, if you don't want to die, run away!" ”
