The entrance to the side gate of the ghost town is a huge stone gate, I glanced at it, it is about six or seven meters high, the center of the gate is carved with intricate patterns, at first glance it looks like a flower in full bloom, but if you take a closer look, you will find that the flower in front of you is made of countless blades, as if to indicate that after entering this door, there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire.

The door opened a crack, about the width of two people, and behind me stood two strong men in black, whispering to me, "Come in." ”

I ignored them, checked my equipment, and then turned on the flashlight and took a picture inside, even if the route had been detected, but the entire stone gate had been closed for a long time, and it was still unknown whether anything would change inside. I took out a cigarette, lit it, and placed it in the stone doorway.

This is an easy way to test if there are ghosts or the like in an enclosed space. The burning cigarette butts flickered in front of the stone gate, and the burning light flickered slightly, as if it was about to be extinguished. I took back the cigarette butt, took a puff and threw it on the ground, and my heart couldn't help but sink a little, judging from the burning of the cigarette butt, I guess there was something unclean in it. It's better to just be an earth beast, if it's a powerful demon or demon, it's very likely that it will easily sneak up and kill me in this darkness.

Tighten the strap of the backpack, I walked into the stone gate, the light of the flashlight became insignificant in this complete darkness, I still used a high-power bulb, after shining out, I could see the range between five and ten meters in front of me, and looked at the murals around, it was obvious that the Khitan Liao Dynasty style. The murals are relatively well preserved, and judging from the hairstyles of the men in the murals, it is very likely that this ghost town was really built during the Liaojingzong period.

Khitan men have strange hairstyles, the top of their heads is bare, there is a ring of hair along their heads, and some will comb a few small braids. Moreover, the probability of horses appearing in the murals of the Liao Dynasty is particularly high, and the horses on the murals are mostly strong limbs and muscular shapes.

I walked along the passage in front of me, not very fast, getting farther and farther away from the exit behind me, this darkness was bearable at first, but as I went deeper and deeper, the darkness around me made people more and more lonely and unbearable.

I didn't have a watch, but I estimated that after walking for about half an hour, I stopped, looked behind me and couldn't see the exit, sat down against the wall, and turned off the flashlight. The battery is limited, but I'm going to spend a week in it, and if the flashlight goes dead, I'm really blind.

He took out the water bottle from his backpack, took a sip, and took out the materials that Mr. Tang had given him before, including a map map that he had explored before. I shook my hand slightly, a red flame burned on my arm, looked at the information, and pointed out my approximate location, judging from the route, there are about three days away from the unknown area. If I had speeded up, I would have been able to arrive in about two days.

However, it is better to be careful, light a cigarette, extinguish the fire in your hand, and then move on. But I didn't take a few steps, and I don't know if I felt too keen, as if the humidity in the air was a little higher, and there was a subtle yin qi lingering around, which was not uncommon. Yin Qi is not unique to the places where evil spirits are, but can exist in corners where the sun is not seen all year round, corpses, or rivers where dead plants are piled up.

I smoked a cigarette and walked on, walking along the road for about two hours, the humidity in the air began to increase significantly, and I could hear some water, very faint, as if coming from a distant place. I frowned, did I hear it wrong? Where does this river come from? Isn't it an underground river? This is possible, after all, the ghost town of Sanjiang is a body of water, and it is not surprising that the groundwater resources are abundant.

As I was walking forward, the wind behind me suddenly became tighter, and I suddenly raised my head, and there seemed to be a gray shadow flashing far ahead, and the speed seemed to float by. If it weren't too dark in the distance, the gray shadow would probably not be easy to detect. But I believe in my own eyes, and the shadow just now is probably a ghost.

I frowned, not too surprised, after all, I expected to encounter unclean things.

But hopefully it's just one head, don't show up in groups, then the situation will be dangerous.

Carrying a flashlight, I walked a long distance, and it was estimated that it would take an hour, and judging from the road map, there should be the first fork in the road. But I raised my flashlight and shone it forward, and was surprised to find that the fork in the road that should have appeared on the map was not, and in front of me was a single passage leading straight ahead.

Could it be that I made a mistake in my own estimation? Haven't reached a fork in the road yet?

With great suspicion, I continued along the road, however, after walking for more than an hour, I should have passed the fork in the road by the estimation, but the passage was still straight ahead. Groping around the walls, the whole wall is smooth and neatly polished, and there is no protrusion in the whole wall, which makes me feel a little weird about this construction style. How could such a large project be done in such a meticulous step. To use an inappropriate analogy, if the Great Wall had to be built with every brick polished, it would have to be delayed for hundreds of years. And the style of the murals on the walls has gradually changed from the beginning of the riding and shooting, and slowly developed into some strange murals, which seem to be narrating something, and on the mural in front of me, I saw a special existence for the first time, a person wearing a Taoist talisman, not drawing a front, only a silhouette, but the appearance is completely different from the Khitan people around.

It seems that there is a high probability that the ghost town was built by Qi Chun'an, and the Taoist priest on this mural is likely to be Qi Chun'an. And this mural depicts him leading the Khitan warriors to build an underground ghost town. I continued to look at the wall in front of me with a flashlight, but the mural was intermittent and in some places even completely dug up. At this moment, there was a sudden "whistling" wind behind me, which startled me, and I turned my head suddenly, surprised to see that there was no one behind me, could it be a ghost? But why not attack me?

The route map is not right, could it be that Mr. Tang gave me a fake circuit map, but since I came in, it is almost a life of nine deaths, and he can't be guilty of doing this kind of indiscriminate thing, not to mention, although Mr. Tang is a good person, but he is essentially a person who talks about rules, and he doesn't need to turn around in such a big circle if he wants to kill me.

Things are getting stranger and stranger, and the strangest thing is that the sound of water that always comes from a distance, as if it echoes throughout the underground world, I have been walking for almost four hours since I heard this sound of water, but I still don't see any rivers, only the humidity in the air is getting louder and louder.

I looked around, saw no ghosts, and continued walking. Since the circuit map is useless, then I can only rely on myself to figure it out. Fortunately, there was no fork in the road, only a single passage, and I just walked along the passage, and a faint mist began to appear on the wall, and when I wiped it with my hand, my fingertips were full of water droplets. The sound of restless water is getting louder and louder, and when you take a deep breath, fresh water begins to waft in the air.

However, the ghosts are also appearing more and more frequently, I have been walking for nearly eight hours, and I have seen more and more ghosts, but they do not come into contact with me, and often disperse as soon as they are touched, without malice, but come and go in a hurry.

"Looks like we'll have to ask."

I lit a cigarette, but it didn't take long for it to go out, and nothing knows better than ghosts in this underground situation. I pulled the bell out of my pocket, paused to look around, and whispered a mantra.

It is said that it is used by a folk spiritualist to conjure spirits, which is not recognized by the Taoist sect, but it seems to work very well.

I had only read half a sentence, and a gray shadow floated over in the distance, flying straight towards me, I looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help but be taken aback, this floating gray shadow looked like a Khitan warrior.
