Chapter 17: There is no gate to hell

The inside of the cave was not as dark as I thought, but the space was small enough for one person to bend over and walk.

The marks on the walls are so heavy that you can tell at first glance that they were carved by hand. Unlike the stone caves outside, there were no cracks in the stone walls before, and they were carved out of the stone walls.

Not only is the space cramped, but the ground is also outrageously rugged, and you can encounter a stone sill half a meter high within two steps.

I was anxious, but I couldn't get up quickly, and I kept scolding the ancestors of the Wang family in my stomach. What are the key units around here, and there are so many speed bumps!

Lu Yan was in front of me, but he was not in a hurry at all, he looked up after walking a few steps, and he would pick at the wall if he had something. As for the strange sound, it never stopped, and it was annoying.

"Wait a minute!" Lu Yan suddenly stopped.

I was concentrating on crossing a stone threshold, and when he said this, I simply stopped and straddled it to listen to Lu Yan.

"I know what's down there!" Lu Yan asked, "Do you still want to go down?" ”

"What's there?" I asked rhetorically, a little puzzled. What could be the place below that makes Lu Yan so jealous?

Lu Yan reached out and touched the wall, put his hand in front of him and looked at it carefully, and hesitated.

"I suspect there's a ghost at the end of the road!"

Lu Yan's voice was very low, but it was extremely clear in the various noisy sounds, I didn't expect that such a thing as a ghost would come out of Lu Yan's mouth, and I looked at him with wide eyes.

"These settings ......" Lu Yan pointed to the stone sill on the ground, and then stretched out his hand to show me the white powder on it, "What Mingyue uses to sleep...... These things are all used to ward off ghosts! ”

I've heard a few things about blocking ghosts, in folklore, evil spirits are never more than a foot tall, and zombies are even worse, they can only move on flat ground, and anything more than a foot tall can block them. Therefore, the doors of rural homes are one and a half feet above the ground, and the foot and a half under the door is blocked by a movable baffle, in order to block the evil ghosts and zombies, and not let them harm the home.

As for that kind of bright moon dormant thing, I don't know what it does, but since Lu Yan thinks that it can block ghosts, it makes sense. But what is this place doing to keep the ghosts in the way? Could it really be that there is such a thing as a demon down there?

"I suspect that this place is where the Wang family imprisons evil spirits!" Lu Yan looked inside, turned back to me, and said.

His tone was ordinary, but what he said gave me goosebumps.

"Imprison demons?" I asked in disbelief.

"Or rather, raise ......," Lu Yan changed his words.

I think it's all the same, isn't captivity and captivity? Wang Dake, this girl looks very good, why is she still doing this at home?

But Xiao Kan, they are already below, and no matter what is down there, we must go down.

"Let's go!" I moved my other foot over, "The living are not afraid, afraid of evil spirits?" ”

Lu Yan nodded, turned around quietly and continued to walk forward. I was so empty that I kept telling myself that the so-called hauntings were normal bioelectric phenomena. But it's useless to say this, Lu Yan's words still make my heart tremble, after all, no one has ever seen such a thing as a demon!

The cave kept changing direction, and all the bends were ninety-degree right-angled bends, as regular as if they had been marked out by a ruler. At each bend, there are two stone sills that spread from the yang angle to the yin angle to form a diamond shape. Not to mention zombie ghosts, even living people, even those with slightly larger feet can't go over.

I counted each corner carefully, and when I got to the ninth turn, it suddenly opened up in front of me, and a hot air rushed towards me.

The dark rocky ground has formed a variety of strange shapes, and not far away there is a lava flowing slowly, this lava has been flowing here for an unknown amount of time, and the dry and hard stone slag has even piled up high embankments next to it. But perhaps because of the clever design, there was no new dross attached to the river, but along with the lava, it flowed underneath.

It should be said that the scenery in front of me conforms to all the ancient and modern descriptions of hell, black and red, pain and fire. If there were ghosts or spirits bustling here for terrible trials and horrific punishments, I would really believe that this is hell.

But there is nothing here, looking at the past, it is empty, not only can you not see ghosts, but you also have no trace of Xiao Kan and others. I can understand that I can't see them, after all, they have been down so long before us, and in such complex terrain, it is normal to run anywhere we can't see. But those chaotic voices mixed with screams and ** are still echoing in my ears, how can there be nothing here.

Lu Yan didn't hesitate, and got out quite easily. I stood behind the last stone sill, a little hesitant.

It occurred to me that in those stories, the human eye could not see ghosts at all. Despite this, people have come up with a lot of ways to see the hell for various purposes, rhino photos, cow tears...... Even some cultivation masters can open the eye of heaven and calmly see ghosts. Does Lu Yan have this ability?

"Lu Yan, can you see ghosts?" Thinking that there might be countless evil spirits hovering around, and even at this moment, there was a grimace lying in front of my face and sticking out my tongue, even though the surrounding temperature was very high, I still shivered a few times in a row.

"Me? I've never seen a ghost! Lu Yan pointed to himself.

I also remembered that Liu Dongxi has always scoffed at legends such as zombies and ghosts, but as the saying goes, ghosts are afraid of wicked people, and Liu Dongxi's kind of goods are strange, and ghosts are rare.

"I think there's something wrong around here......"

Lu Yan looked at me with a smile, "Have you forgotten the eternal life I told you?" ”

I remembered the living tree coffin and the footsteps of the First Emperor who never stopped, and nodded.

"If there is a soul that can live forever, it will take this effort?"

I was stunned for a moment, thought about it and stepped out of the threshold. Lu Yan smiled slightly and walked forward.

My feet were very hot, the heat quickly threw up from the soles of my shoes, and my feet began to sweat profusely, but fortunately my rainforest combat boots had not had time to change, although it was very warm and rubbish, but in this case it was perfect to avoid the balls of my feet slipping in the boots due to sweat.

This should be a huge crack formed in the belly of the mountain somehow, winding inside, and there is no end in sight, Lu Yan and I are very careful with our blades in our hands.

The lighting was out of use, and the lava was emitting extremely bright light in some places, so it was not the slightest problem to see clearly.

After walking a few steps, on a very striking stone, there was a brightly polished kettle, on which were written a few words with a marker.

"It's ongoing, don't worry."

This word is obviously Xiao Kan's handwriting, and the last stroke of the word "worry" is directly hooked to the beginning of the word.

I reached for the kettle, which was slightly hot from the hot rocks, and there was still half a pot of water in the kettle, and as soon as I unscrewed the lid, a large amount of steam screeched the moment the lid was opened.

They were in a hurry, as can be seen in the scribbled handwriting and sentences that are so simple that they don't even make sense. But in the sense that there seems to be no danger.

Although there is no danger, people cannot rest assured that they will not be able to recover it. What could have caused them to leave us alone, and even be so anxious that they didn't have the opportunity to leave me a message in such a hurry until this place?

I watched along the way, and there was no sign of a battle. If there is, it would be easy to explain, but this is not, and I haven't come up with a reliable answer after thinking about it for a long time.

The rocks in the cave have grown into various shapes, and although my heart is very messy, I can't help but take the things of the underworld that I have in my impression to confirm it. In the process of scaring myself, I found a lot of strange rocks that surprisingly echoed these various legends. The annoying noise kept adding up the atmosphere and made me shudder.

I began to think about a question, I wonder if the underworld and the Yama temple really exist, and the Wang family didn't know how to find this place and connect their house with the underworld. We don't know what the purpose of this is, but just now, in the atmosphere of the primitive religion of the minority minority, Bon, I suddenly jumped into the myths and legends of the Han people, and this contrast made me a little confused.

The terrain here is relatively simple, so we don't have to worry about getting lost, and we walked forward to the end of the cave in a short time. The whole cave is supposed to be an oval shape, and here it is harvested into a small hole, and the lava river goes through the mountain from the other side, and I don't know where it leads.

The path was narrow, with small steps that seemed to be made of nature, and Lu Yan and I walked down carefully, trying not to touch the rock wall near the lava river.

It was only then that I remembered that something was wrong, that the lava was supposed to have a certain depth. When you look at it from the outside, it's twenty meters from the lava below. Don't underestimate this height, lava is very sensitive to temperature on the surface, even if it is only one degree, it will slowly condense, and it is impossible to flow like this.

And what is the difference between here and below?

Thinking of this, I have begun to be convinced that this is the real Netherworld, and what else can explain this phenomenon beyond the laws of nature?

The thought that the entrance to the underworld was hidden in a broken cabinet carved out of the stone wall struck me as a little ridiculous.

What is this? Is the Chronicles of Narnia?

Thinking wildly in my heart, Lu Yan suddenly turned around and slapped my palm on my chest, I was caught off guard, a strong surge in my chest, I lost my center of gravity, and sat on the steps.

"What for?" I was startled, thinking that Lu Yan had been ghosted.

Lu Yan didn't speak, he turned sideways to the side, and from the space he exposed, I saw a blood red!
