Although the footprints are five people, we cannot guarantee that the other party is walking together, or following back and forth, and we can only roughly deduce the direction in which they walked.

However, we followed all the way and found that these people were heading towards the west of the city, and I felt that the place they went to was somewhat familiar, and at this time Lao Geng said, "Could it be that they are going to the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave?"

"What Ten Thousand Buddha Cave, aren't we in the picture scroll in the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave now?" I asked, looking at the situation around me in confusion.

Lao Geng said: "You take a closer look, is there something familiar around here!" ”

Being reminded by Lao Geng, I found that the city we were in just now was somewhat similar to the entrance to the tourist area where we were before, and at this time the surrounding mountains seemed to be Qixia Mountain, when I was thinking about it, Yun Xian'er suddenly said: "I understand what Lao Geng meant, he is saying, the picture scroll we are in now is probably the Qixia Mountain depicted by someone in ancient times, and Qixia Mountain at that time was an ancient strategic highland, don't you think the city where we are located is very small, It's a bit like a walled city, and as far as Nanjing City is concerned, it was already very grand and vast in ancient times, and there will be no sentry towers in Nanjing City, and the general sentry towers will only be found in the walled cities where soldiers are hoarded. ”

I recalled, and sure enough, I remembered that the walls in the small city we were in were all wooden walls, and in any war-torn era, the city walls and other defensive facilities were very important, so it was impossible to use wooden walls as walls......

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but say: "In that case, the real secret of Qixia Mountain is probably in the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave, and it is precisely this Ten Thousand Buddha Cave that is not the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave in reality, but the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave in the picture scroll!" ”

"I'm afraid that's it!" Lao Geng said, and with a huge shock, we also quickened our pace, and sure enough, we found a huge cave with footprints and a rough inference of the location of the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave.

It's just that the shape of this cave is very similar to the real Ten Thousand Buddha Cave, but it doesn't have any decoration now, it is surrounded by weeds and trees, and it is extremely deep, and the footprints are officially going deep into this cave.

Lao Geng lit a candle and walked inside and said: "This cave is downward, so the air is also indirectly formed a closed state, maybe the world in the picture scroll is the same as reality, the air that has not flowed for many years will form a poisonous gas harmful to the human body, if there is a corpse in it, before it decays, it will first expand and be full of corpse gas, and then the skin and internal organs will begin to rot from the inside out, so that the corpse gas will be held in the cave, once people inhale these toxic gases, they will be dizzy and dizzy, If you are poisoned to death, unless you wear a gas mask, you can't be careless at all! ”

After listening to Lao Geng's words, I couldn't help but feel funny, after all, our group of people are all Taoist, but after thinking about it carefully, Lao Geng is so vigilant because he has no Taoism, just an ordinary person, so I don't think it's funny.

Just in case, Lao Geng still used the birds he brought all the way to put them into the hole for experiments

Detect whether the air in the hole is toxic.

After discovering that the bird was indeed fine, each of us took a torch wrapped in pine oil and broken steps, and went down the passage.

In the light of the torches, I could clearly see that the passage inside the hole was not what I had imagined

It's square and spacious, but it's the same as a thief hole, it's very irregular, twisted, and it's very spacious

It is small and can only accommodate one person.

We followed the passage all the way and walked for a long time before we came to the end.

Finally, we found an upward exit above the end.

Lao Geng, who was walking in the front, shone a torch above the exit, and then climbed up first.

After a while, I heard Lao Geng shouting from above, "Come up, there is no danger!" ”

Then one by one, the others and I climbed up to that exit.

The place we were in was a stone room that wasn't very spacious.

There was a pile of ancient weapons stacked in the room, some of which had rotted and broken and fallen to the ground.

I suspect we might be in a place where weapons are kept.

At this time, Xiao Tian suddenly pointed at the "wolf eye" flashlight, and then said in surprise: "Look, there is the exit over there!" ”

I and the others looked in the direction Xiao Tian was pointing, and sure enough, they found a door frame.

Lao Geng said: "Let's go, let's go out from here first!" ”

So, a group of ten of us slowly walked out of the stone room.

As soon as he came out of the stone room, the outside space suddenly opened up, and even the light of the torches was still a little unexpected.

I couldn't help but feel very surprised, thinking that I really didn't expect that there was such a large space inside the belly of this Qixia Mountain, but I didn't know if this space was naturally formed or artificially excavated.

Lao Geng said: "The space here is so large, it should be the same as the ancient tomb, this should be the main hall, I didn't expect us to get to the main hall so easily, it seems that my speculation is correct." ”

Then I heard a crisp sound coming from under my feet, and I looked down, only to see a few broken bones and a skull head on the edge of the light of the torch!

I was amazed, and was about to lean down to pick up the skull, but I found that out of the skull's eye socket crawled out a small black snake, and the little snake had a sarcoma on its head, and the red one looked like a cockscomb's head.

"This is the cockscomb snake, it has a high poison and stays in a dark and damp corner all the year round, you still don't provoke him, this thing is timid, it will bite people when it is frightened, it is very poisonous, ordinary people will immediately bleed to death, do you...... It is estimated that the whole body will be paralyzed, and it is better to die for a period of time, but it is not possible to die. ”

Just as I was about to ask Lao Geng about the poisonous snake, Lao Guan shouted loudly: "Lao Tzu has found the Everlasting Lamp, Lao Tzu has found the Everlasting Lamp!" ”

Lao Geng, who was elsewhere, immediately responded loudly: "Hurry up and light the everlasting lamp!" ”

It didn't take long for me to hear a "boom", and a fiery snake suddenly sprang up in the darkness dozens of meters in front of me, and the entire dark space suddenly began to brighten!

The fiery snake stretched for dozens of meters before stopping, and immediately lit up half of the cave.

That's when I realized that we were in a cave the size of half a football field.

This cave is completely naturally formed, there is no trace of artificial carving around, if the whole Qixia Mountain is like a big ape, then, this cave can be said to be the belly of the big ape.

I thought to myself that if this magnificent project was caused by humans, it would be too powerful, and they could find such a place, and I don't know what method they used.

It wasn't long before another fiery serpent was lit in the darkness, and the half of the cave where the fat man and I were was lit up.

It wasn't until this time that I could see clearly what Lao Guan said about the ever-bright lantern.

Originally, there were two rows of lampstands more than ten meters out of the cave wall, but there was no ever-bright lamp on the lampstand, but instead there was a connected groove, which should be the fuel of the ever-bright lamp.

I saw that around the cave, there were stone chambers one by one, and in the center of the cave was a huge square stone platform, and on the top of the stone platform was placed a huge sculpture, which was in the form of a large bird, but unusually, the big bird had nine heads.

Just as I was fascinated by it, Xian'er suddenly said, "There are bloody footprints!" ”

Hearing this, I immediately went over, and sure enough, on the floor, there were footprints of unparalleled shoes, but these footprints were connected into a line, and they went deeper, and Lao Geng said with a very ugly face: "I'm afraid that the ghost is handsome, they are in trouble, and these blood stains are their blood ......"
