Chapter 42: Taoism

I'm a little confused, I can't finish the corridor, there must be a problem, my dear, I'm not going to die here, right?

I flashed my flashlight and continued to walk, this time counting the steps under my feet and walking forward for a long time.

After all, it was an enclosed space, stuffy and hot, sweaty, I stopped to catch my breath, squatted in the corner to rest, just now I walked a total of 3,000 steps, according to the distance of adults one step and one meter, I walked forward 3,000 meters.

What is the concept of three kilometers, that is called three kilometers, no matter how big this building is, it is impossible for a corridor to be three kilometers long. There must be a problem, if I walk so stupidly, I guess I won't be able to find an exit until I die.

As soon as I thought of the exit, I suddenly thought of a problem, it seems that I can't find the corner where I entered, that is, it is a closed corridor.

Thinking of this, the sweat on my head came out more, and I didn't have the heart to rest, so I quickly got up. The biggest obstacle in this ghost place is that it is too dark, the flashlight beam seems to be swallowed up by darkness, and there are black holes a few meters away, so you can't see farther away.

I'm reminded of a Japanese horror movie where there is a staircase in the school that can never be walked on, and I can't get out of it from exhaustion, am I in this situation now?

I forced myself to calm down, there was no point in continuing like this. After breathing steadily, I thought of a key question, if this corridor is completely closed and there is no exit, then I should see Li Damin and them, and the current situation is that the three of them are not here.

In other words, the three of them found the exit of this corridor and went out. Since they can get out, I can go out too.

The reason for the current predicament, I think, is the light, this corridor is most likely a closed circle, and I have been going around in circles, there must be some hidden mechanism that I haven't found. Instead of going on with such physical strength, it is better to look carefully and slowly, and the emperor will definitely live up to his wishes.

Thinking of this, I felt confident again, and walked slowly down the corridor, shining a flashlight as I went, carefully inspecting the two walls. As I walked, I suddenly noticed an arrow on the wall! It was painted when I came out of the corner, and I was refreshed and shone it with a flashlight, and there were walls on both sides, and I couldn't find the corner when I came in.

The arrows don't deceive, I drew them with my own hands, but I can't find the corners, which shows a problem, the terrain has changed. I went to the wall and knocked it carefully, and it was indeed all walls, and there was no exit.

Hey, it's really a ghost, did you encounter a ghost hitting the wall?

I was not reconciled, and I checked back and forth here many times, and finally had to admit that the corner when I came was indeed missing.

Could this be the reason why the three of them didn't go back?

The terrain changes, why is this happening?

Either it was artificial or automatic, and either way, the mechanism was to discover an unfamiliar intruder.

I felt more and more convinced that there must be a big secret hidden in these three floors.

If this is indeed arranged by Ma Danlong, he is a yin cha, and he is also a Taoist person, will the layout be the legendary enchantment, or the formation, similar to Huang Laoxi's Peach Blossom Island?

I sat on the floor and pondered, trying to think, when suddenly a painting appeared in my head, it was a maze diagram. I closed my eyes and tried to remember, grasping the little tail of my thoughts, and I had a strong feeling that I had once seen a maze diagram that might well have taken me out of here.

Maze Diagram ...... I snapped my eyes open and finally thought about it. The walls of Wang Yue's bedroom are covered with murals of ink and blue, one of which is a maze drawing. At that time, I used a bracelet to draw on the maze, and the lines on it turned on and off, triggering the mechanism, thus opening the mirror hidden on the wall, which gave me the opportunity to communicate with Wang Yue later.

I stood up and looked down at the bracelet in my hand, this is a good thing, how can I use it?

I straightened my wrist and focused all my thoughts on the bracelet, and my heart was thinking: Take me out, take me out. Nothing changed at first, I gritted my teeth and continued to concentrate all my thoughts.

At this moment, there was a sudden flash not far from the corridor. I don't know what it is, but it seems to have a light, and it flashes and goes out.

I was in ecstasy, and I hurried over to shine a flashlight in front of me, and at some point a door appeared. I took a deep breath and pushed the door open, but it was still dark inside.

I was about to lift my flashlight to shine when I suddenly saw a few flashlights shaking in the door.

My heart suddenly rose to my throat and eyes, and I almost screamed out, is it Li Damin?

Out of caution and wanting to observe again, he turned off his flashlight. I hesitated, but slipped through the door. Now they are in the light, I am in the dark, and I am walking towards the light.

It's indescribably dark, and the darkness around it is like substance, tightly wrapped around it. Every step was a great test of my nerves, and my steps were heavy, and at last I came to the front of those lights, and through the light, I saw a person.

He's a brass lock, and he's shining a flashlight around, but it doesn't reach me.

I was about to say hello, and suddenly I felt that he was a little strange, not strange clothes, not strange looks, which strange can't be said, take a closer look, and find a clue. Copper lock has an extra walkie-talkie in his hand at some point, not only does he have a walkie-talkie, but he also has a rope wrapped around his waist.

He didn't bring any of these things with him, but it was possible that he had found them on the spot. I think it's okay to see if it's too quick to leak yourself.

Copper Lock suddenly looked up at the darkness in front of him, his expression changed sharply, he looked extremely shocked, and his facial features were even a little distorted. He used his flashlight to shine into the darkness in the distance, and the more he looked, the shorter he breathed.

My curiosity was bursting, what did he see? But the darkness in front of me was nothing but black, and I couldn't see anything.

Copper lock picked up the walkie-talkie with trembling hands and shouted, "Wait! This, what is this...... I'm Cao. ”

A person's voice came from the walkie-talkie, and I could hear that it was Li Yang, who was responding loudly: "Gobi, don't move, we'll come over immediately!" ”

I'm glad they are all right. Just when I wanted to say hello, the light and shadow flickered in the darkness, and a figure ran over, it was Li Yang, who was out of breath.

All of a sudden, something was wrong, something was wrong. After thinking about it for a while, I realized what was wrong. It is said that the cave they went into the ground last night has been nearly ten hours now, and every minute in the dark environment without light is torture, and the physical exertion of people is very great. But now looking at the copper lock, and then looking at Li Yang who ran over, their physical strength seems to be very abundant.

The two people converged, Li Yang looked at the copper lock with a dull expression, and shook his body: "Old copper, old copper." ”

The copper lock is still stunned, Li Yang raised his hand, and he is a big mouth at him, how strong is this, the copper lock of the fan turned three times in place.

I couldn't help but laugh as I watched from the side, and as soon as the laughter came out, the flashlights in the hands of the two people suddenly went out, and darkness shrouded me. The two of them seemed to be quickly swallowed up by darkness, and disappeared without a trace.

I rushed into the darkness, left and right, and there were no two of them. I quickly turned on the flashlight and shone it in all directions, although it could only illuminate a distance of a few meters, but it was only a few seconds before it happened, and it was impossible for the two of them to run far. I looked at the darkness in all directions in horror, and for a moment, I even lost my sense of existence.

I had a very strange idea, it wasn't going to disappear even me, was it?

When he was hesitating and helpless, there was a sudden brass sound in front of him, and someone was knocking on something. Tapping constantly, one by one, I didn't know what was going on at first, but after a few seconds I suddenly realized, is someone leading me over?

I grabbed my flashlight and walked towards the sound. There are no landmarks in this place except black or black, and it is difficult to judge where the sound came from, it seems to be left or right, it seems to be in the west, and it seems to be in the east.

I walked completely subconsciously, for fear that the person would suddenly stop tapping and it would be over. In the darkness where I couldn't see my fingers, the chances of me being able to walk back were almost zero.

Fortunately, the voice came one after another, and I heard the Sanskrit sound as if I was in a daze, and I saw the guiding light in the wilderness, and finally staggered to it, and a building appeared in the light of the flashlight.

This is an ancient Taoist temple, the scale is not large, it looks like an ordinary dwelling, full of strong ancient meaning. The yellow exterior wall, the cornices and arches, the gate is bright red, and the two semicircular door panels on the left and right are combined. Listen carefully, a brass sound comes from inside.

My head was covered in cold sweat, was this Taoist temple in front of me real or fake? I'm a little skeptical of my eyes. I saw Li Yang and the copper lock just now, and they disappeared in an instant, will it be the same here?

Does this ghost place really exist, or is it a dream?

I was hesitating at the door when the sound suddenly stopped, and the people inside seemed to know that I had arrived.

With a "squeak", a gap opened in the gate of the Taoist temple. I took a deep breath, walked over and pushed open the door, and there was a small courtyard inside, small in size, with green bricks on the ground and a huge three-legged ancient ding. There are rows of red lanterns hanging under the porch, there is no wind, these lanterns are burning quietly and brightly, illuminating everything red, extremely strange.
