Chapter 285: The Truth About Ghost Town 1
At this moment, Wang Chuyi and I suddenly heard a noise outside the door, and hurriedly rushed out to look, only to see the seventh master and the one-eyed eighth standing outside the door, "Seventh master?" How did you find us? ”
The one-eyed old man coughed violently, and it could be seen that he was seriously injured, and a piece of blood-stained clothes on his chest, although it could be seen that he had bandaged the wound with medical gauze, but it still oozed out.
"Old eight, you ......"
The seventh master hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You can't stay here for long, hurry up." ”
The seventh master walked forward without saying a word, and Wang Chuyi and I hurriedly followed while supporting the one-eyed eighth.
The Seventh Master was constantly speeding up his pace, and said as he walked, "The geographical environment of the ancient city here is very special, I just looked at it, and the time here seems to be much faster than outside." ”
Wang Chu and I were stunned, just walked all the way, the two of us didn't find anything abnormal, listening to the seventh master say this, I quickly looked down at the watch, and found that the date and time on the watch were correct, and there was nothing suspicious, just wanted to ask the seventh master, I heard the seventh master say, "The eclipse just now is not a real solar eclipse, only people in the ancient city can see it." ”
Wang Chu and I nodded a little, and we already understand this.
We walked through a turn, the seventh master sped up again, the original walk, has become a trot, while running, while saying, "Hurry, time is almost too late, the eclipse just now is actually the night in this ancient city, there are only twelve hours a day here, there is a day and night alternate in six hours, the environment will also change a lot, we have to go to the tower before the next solar eclipse comes!" Otherwise, when the eclipse comes, we will be shifted again, and if so, you will never reach the tower, and you will be trapped in this ghost town. ”
We followed the seventh master and ran forward quickly, I asked him how he found us, it turned out that the seventh master had been to the tower before, and found an underground passage in it, and then they climbed to the top of the tower, and after determining our location, they withdrew again to find us, but we kept moving, and they also looked for a while before they found us.
In this way, we ran all the way, one-eyed eight, holding our chests, although we were seriously injured, we still kept urging "Hurry, hurry up." ”
I asked him how he got hurt, and he didn't answer me, just kept urging us to speed up.
After running for more than half an hour, we finally saw the appearance of the tower, and saw that the whole tower was hexagonal, the base of the tower was the size of half a football field, and there were about thirty steps leading to an entrance gate to the tower.
"Quick! It's almost too late! The seventh master urged loudly, and I picked up the one-eyed old eight and sprinted forward with all my might.
Just as we entered the gate of the tower, the sky outside suddenly darkened again, as if the whole world had gone dark in an instant.
But this time, we were not shifted again, Wang Chu raised the torch to illuminate the space in the tower, and said, "Seventh Master, you said that the eclipse is the night in the ancient city?" ”
The Seventh Master nodded.
Wang Chuyi said, "But the time of this dark night is too short, only five or six minutes." ”
The one-eyed old eight opened his mouth and said, "Or do you just say that the time here is short?" That's twelve hours less. ”
The seventh master had a gloomy face and said, "Don't talk, hurry up, that thing will come out in a while, and we will be in trouble." ”
The one-eyed old man subconsciously glanced down at the wound on his chest, with a look of horror on his face, and quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, hurry up." ”
The seventh master quickly walked towards the middle of the tower, we all followed him, the seventh master's steps were not as fast as before outside the tower, but walked forward very carefully, basically two steps to lean down to see something.
After walking like this for more than ten minutes, only then did he reach the middle of the tower, the seventh master bent down, pointed to the dark grid on the ground, and said, "I'll open this dark grid in a while, no matter what you see after entering, don't panic, and don't speak." Saying that, the seventh master took out a piece of red rope from his bag, this red rope is about the thickness of the index finger, and it is made of the kind of very thin jade hanging red rope one by one, and it feels very soft to start.
"I'll tie your arms with red ropes, and we'll all four of us in a string, and remember not to untie the ropes on your arms under any circumstances, or you may be left in the ghost town below forever." Saying that, the seventh master tied our arms with a red rope, and the four of us were connected in a string, the seventh master was in front, I followed closely behind him, and behind me were Wang Chuyi and the one-eyed eighth.
I saw that the seventh master quickly pressed his hands around the dark grid a few times, and then there was a crisp click, and an octagonal dark grid door was opened.
As soon as I jumped down the steps, I leaned over and wanted to look inside, but was stopped by the seventh master, "Don't move, don't tear the rope off, 70,000 remember, no matter what you see, don't run around, don't talk nonsense, remember." ”
The seventh master solemnly reminded me again, I nodded to indicate that I had written it down, and the seventh master raised his feet and walked towards the dark compartment, because I was tied with a red rope between me and the seventh master, and the distance was only less than two meters, so I could only follow quickly, so as not to tear off the red rope.
After entering this dark grid, I found that the space below was very large, not as crowded as I imagined, the steps were very wide, much wider than ordinary apartment buildings, and the walls on both sides were not rock layers, but earth walls, and if you touched them with your hands, you would bring down some dirt.
The seventh master walked in front of me unhurriedly, and whispered, "When you arrive, remember not to tear off the red rope." With that, he walked down.
I was standing less than two meters behind the Seventh Master, and after seeing the Seventh Master walk down, he suddenly disappeared, and the whole person seemed to evaporate in front of me, if it weren't for the red rope tied around my arm, I wouldn't have felt the existence of the Seventh Master at all.
Seeing that the red rope was about to be tightened, I hurriedly followed, only to feel a sense of dizziness hit, it was dark in front of me, and when my vision recovered again, I found myself standing in an ancient city, which was very lively, and there were many pedestrians coming and going, but all of them were dressed in ancient clothes, I panicked, I grew so big, where had I seen such a scene, I thought I had crossed, and I couldn't help but look twice.
At this time, there was a group of soldiers in armor walking straight towards me, I was curious, I wanted to look up, then I suddenly heard the voice of the seventh master, "Don't look, these are energy bodies formed by yin qi, everything in front of you is fake, don't believe it, let alone look at these energy bodies, remember one thing, you can see him, he can see you, as long as you don't look at him, it's fine, once you look at them, you will never be able to come out!" ”
