Chapter 369: Hell?
After a moment of distraction, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, saying in my heart how many tribulations I had already experienced, why did I see a mural like this today?
"Forget it, it doesn't matter what it is, as long as you enter it, the mystery will naturally have an answer." I said to everybody, and let them follow me.
However, because of the appearance of this mural, our mood has become a little depressed now.
Things are too confusing, what will be waiting for us inside?
As the passage widened, we were finally able to walk side by side, so that several flashlights could be added together to illuminate a larger area.
The murals on the walls are still stretching forward, but according to Shen Qin's observations, all the scenes recorded on it are sacrificed again and again, and as for what is in the depths of this cave, we have to see it with our own eyes after we go in.
There was a ticking sound in front of us, and everyone's footsteps suddenly stopped, listening to the crisp sound in the distance, and after a while I asked everyone, "Is it the sound of water drops?" ”
Shen Qin nodded, and said yes, deep underground in this place, it is normal for water droplets to seep down from the top of the cave, let's continue to move forward.
It's not the first time I've entered such a deep and quiet cave, but this one gives people the feeling of hair standing on end, especially the sudden sound of water, although it sounds unhurried, but it makes people feel like a way of counting down.
It was as if we were walking through the mouth of a bottle, which was narrow at first, but now it is very spacious, but the walls of the cave have always been made of metal, and I can't help but wonder how much labor it took to build this place in the first place.
"How long have you been gone?" Su Che on the side suddenly asked, causing everyone to stop.
Shen Qin glanced at the time and said that it was about half an hour, and at this speed, it seemed that we had already left the village.
I shook my head and said no, because we had bent a few times when we came down, so we didn't walk in a straight line, and we were still in the village.
"Do you say that this place is connected to the village, or has it only become closer after the fall of the village?" Lin Yue asked a seemingly unnutritious sentence next to him, but he stumped us.
It's hard to answer this question, if the cave has always been connected to the village chief's house, then why didn't it collapse here at all after the fall? Even if it's because of the metal walls, it's impossible to be intact to this extent, right?
If it was originally here, because of the fall of the village, there was a hole in the village chief's house to enter here, and it didn't seem easy to make sense, then it couldn't be more coincidental, there would be such a coincidence in the world?
"I think it's more credible that this place was originally here, and the enemy didn't hesitate to collapse the entire village in order to find this place, so they found this hole." Su Che said.
"But how could they find it so accurately? I don't believe anyone could have discovered the cave so accurately, and had the village fall right near the entrance, is that still something that a human can do? I asked, confused.
Shen Qin was obviously annoyed by a series of doubts, shook his head and said, "Whatever, if you go forward, you will always meet people, and you will know what is going on when the time comes!" ”
With that, she walked forward, and we had to follow at once.
After walking a few dozen meters, a small waterhole appeared on the ground in front of us, and it was from here that the ticking sound we heard appeared.
Everyone's flashlights all converged on the pool, and found that the water was only a dozen centimeters deep, but because the top of the cave was at least seven or eight meters from the ground, small water droplets would make such a crisp sound when they fell.
"Look, I'll just say it's seeping." Shen Qin said to us.
Everyone nodded, and without paying much attention, they wanted to go around the waterhole and continue walking.
But all of a sudden, a sudden change occurred!
The originally clear pool of water suddenly flashed blue, and then a cluster of blue flames appeared!
Isn't this water?
I was surprised and hurriedly shouted, "Get out of the way!" ”
Shen Qin, Qian Enhao and the others, who had already bypassed, stood on the opposite side, while Su Che and Lin Yue and I stayed behind, and everyone was separated by this strange blue flame.
The flames were not strong, but they spread rapidly, forming a wall of fire that was only a dozen centimeters long!
"Don't move, there's something wrong with this fire!" Shen Qin shouted from the other side.
Now I don't care if I will alarm the people in the cave, anyway, I have already made a movement before, so I don't need to worry about it at this time.
The blue flame flickered and never went out, neither expanding nor depleting, always burning silently.
We watched for a minute and saw that the fire didn't seem to go out on its own, so we started trying to find a way to extinguish it!
The first to strike was Shen Qin, she took out all kinds of rune paper and tried it, but found that the attack was ineffective, and finally had to give up helplessly.
Lin Yue tried to touch the flame with her long sword, but the blue flame instantly burned directly along the body of the long sword, and she was so frightened that she quickly threw away the long sword.
The sword fell to the ground with a crisp thud, and then began to melt slowly, and finally turned into a pool of molten iron!
Everyone was dumbfounded, the seemingly harmless flame had such a high temperature, but we were only two or three meters away from the flame, how could we not feel the heat?
Besides, you always need air to sustain this flame, right? But why don't we feel the air rushing in here?
"I think I know what it is." Lin Ruowei, who had been silent, suddenly said to us with a solemn face.
"What is it?" Everyone asked in unison.
"In the legend of our homeland, this flame is called the Hellfire, a flame from hell that cannot be extinguished by the wind or flooded!" Lin Ruowei said in a cold voice.
Hellfire!
And again the so-called hell!
Is this really hell?
"If this is the so-called hell, then we seem to have found something amazing?" Su Che suddenly spoke, but his tone was very solemn.
I turned to look at him, "Why do you say that?" ”
Su Che said that the so-called hell is different from the existence of the underworld, the underworld is a place where ghosts live, but hell is a place where demons and monsters who have made mistakes are imprisoned, and there are eighteen layers of hell in the legend, and there are all the most evil guys in it, and none of them are good.
I've naturally heard about the eighteenth layer of hell, but the dark cave in front of me can't make me connect with it, and I'm sure this is hell just by the murals and the fire? I think it's a bit too arbitrary.
"Perhaps, someone here imitated the hell to build, I don't believe that the so-called hell could be under an inconspicuous mountain village, and if it was only so high above the ground, it should have been discovered a long time ago." I said to Su Che.
He looked at me deeply, and asked with a complicated look in his eyes, "Jiang Cha, have you forgotten why I asked you to keep vigil back then?" ”
I was stunned, but I didn't expect him to mention this matter again, and asked suspiciously: "Of course it's hopeless, you did that for the peace of the whole village." ”
Speaking of this, I suddenly understood, and asked in some disbelief: "You already knew that there was this place under the village?" ”
Who knows that Su Che shook his head with a wry smile, and said Where do I have such a great ability, but after I met Wei at the beginning, he told me that this village is not ordinary, not to mention the yin qi, and there may be major events in recent years, in order to suppress this yin qi, he told me to find someone to keep vigil to control it.
"I think now I finally know why I said that." Su Che was silent for a moment and then said.
So, this is really hell, and this is the root cause of my becoming a night watchman and finally embarking on the path of a practitioner?
I still couldn't believe it, but deep down I accepted it.
If it weren't for the village of this place, why would an ordinary village be gloomy? Su Che also said at the beginning that as a night watchman, my mission is to protect the peace of the entire village, but what I didn't expect was that I, a weak girl, would be able to suppress the yin qi here?
It's hell!
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I can't imagine that after so long, I will know where the root is." ”
"Okay, let's not talk about this for the time being, what should we do with this flame? I can't help it. Shen Qin asked anxiously on the other side.
Su Che and I glanced at each other, and said in my heart that now is indeed not the time to sigh, just entered this place, we can't be stopped because of a little dark fire, right?
"Ginger tea, mobilize the yin qi in your body, try to fuse with that flame, maybe it will have an effect." Su Che said to me.
Although I was a little puzzled, I thought that I was chosen as the night watchman back then, there must be a reason, maybe I was the nemesis of this place?
So I picked up the dagger, turned it into the shape of a long sword, and then activated the yin qi in my body.
It's impossible to touch that blue flame with my dagger, this dagger is my treasure, I don't want it to be destroyed like Lin Yue's long sword!
The tip of the long sword was filled with yin qi, and then a white air stream visible to the naked eye sprayed towards those flames!
Something happened that stunned everyone, the flame was sprayed by the white qi and then shrunk, I was immediately overjoyed, and immediately stepped up the transmission of yin qi.
The sword now seemed to be a fire extinguisher, and wherever it was pointed, the flames began to extinguish, and after a while, the blue flames were all gone.
"I'll just say, you can restrain these things!" Su Che said happily, stepped forward and hugged my shoulder.
My face turned red, because everyone was watching, so I quickly broke free and said, "Is this the relationship between my extreme yin physique?" ”
