Chapter 5: Discovering the Secret Passage

That night, I suddenly felt someone gently pushing me in my sleep, I opened my eyes in a daze, and I saw the eyes of the little thing dripping and constantly glaring at me, I was about to scold, I saw its little paws pointed to the stone statue, signaling me to look, but the temple was dark and I couldn't see anything, so I got up and walked over slowly.

At this time, I noticed that the old thing was standing behind the stone statue at the moment, and was looking at the ground motionlessly, so I also looked towards that place curiously.

However, when I looked at it, I was surprised to find that there was a black hole here at some point!

I was stunned at the time, because I have been here for so long, I can say that I know everything in this temple, but as for this cave, I have never seen it, what is going on? Is there a secret way here?

Thinking of this, I hurried to make a torch and shone it into the depths of the cave.

Under the light of the fire, the situation inside the cave was immediately revealed, and I saw that the diameter of this cave was about more than one meter, and the space inside was larger than this hole, but it looked very deep.

A row of stone stairs leads directly to the depths, and you don't know where they lead, as if they lead to hell.

I looked inside, but at this moment, a gust of wind blew from inside, and a cold breath instantly spread all over my body, and I immediately shivered several times in a row.

However, at this time, I suddenly thought of the thick and large stone pillar at the bottom of this temple, and I thought that this should be the tunnel.

Thinking of this, I turned my head and asked the old thing when this hole appeared and how it was discovered.

After listening to my question, it turned its head to the dragon-patterned sword on the stone statue's back, and then bouted again, motioning for me to go there.

I immediately got up and climbed up the stone statue, and found that the dragon-patterned sword that the old thing was referring to had actually moved down an inch, and there was an obvious trace of the sword.

I tried to lift my sword up, but it didn't move, so I threw another inquiring look at the old thing.

The old thing immediately understood what I meant, and with a wave of his wings, flew to the stone statue, and then put his claws on the sword and kicked hard.

Immediately I understood what it meant, it should be saying that it was originally squatting on this stone statue, but accidentally stepped on this stone sword, and its volume was already heavy, but the stone sword moved under this step, and then this hole in the ground appeared.

So this stone sword should be the mechanism to open this secret passage, but I never thought that there would be such a secret secret passage in this broken temple, if it weren't for the old thing, I'm afraid I wouldn't know until I died

Knowing why, I jumped off the statue and looked at the dark hole.

However, for some reason, I always felt as if something was beckoning to me under this secret passage, and I suddenly had a strong feeling in my heart to go down and find out

I shook the torch in my hand, looked at the little ghost and the old thing, and then prepared to jump into the secret passage.

However, the little thing was faster than me at the moment, and just as I was about to lift my legs, it had already jumped in, and before I could say careful, it had already disappeared into the depths of this swarthy secret passage

I knew that this guy was going to explore my way, and I couldn't help but feel warm, but at this time, the old thing also squeezed behind me, and then jumped off without looking back.

I didn't hesitate at the moment, and jumped in with a torch.

When I got to the bottom, I realized that the stone staircase leading to the depths of the secret passage was actually made of bluestone, and the wall on the left side was engraved with some words, and when I looked closely, I realized that it was actually a row of Japanese, and there was a symbol carved next to it to indicate danger.

Seeing this, I can't help but wonder in my heart, how can there be Japanese here? Could it be that a Japanese person has been here, and if so, then it is a bit unbelievable.

Thinking of this, I didn't stop at the moment, and walked down with two feet.

There was nothing to be found in the entire passageway, except for the row of Japanese characters and the dangerous symbol I had seen at the entrance, and the stone walls on either side were bare, not even a single pothole.

However, under the imprint of this torch, my figure was constantly shaking on the stone wall, sometimes bowing, sometimes erect, making the atmosphere in this gloomy secret passage suddenly extremely strange

The range of the firelight was limited, so I was extremely careful along the way, and just as I had walked for a short time, the secret passage that had been diagonally downward suddenly turned into a spiral downward like a coiled dragon, leading all the way to the ground.

However, when I walked up the spiral staircase, I found that there was no trace of the old thing and the little ghost at the moment

I had made six or seven turns on the spiral before I went down to the bottom, and at the same time I found that there was a stone chamber in front of me.

The stone chamber was square, looking to be at least a hundred or so square size, and the whole stone chamber was made of green hemp stone, and on each of the two walls were stacked with iron shelves, as if they were for displaying something, but the top was empty, and there was nothing.

There was a stone table in the middle of the stone room, and there was an oil lamp on it, and when I went in, I found that the oil of the oil lamp had not yet dried out, so I tried to light it with a torch, and it turned out to be literal.

The oil lamp instantly lit a bean-sized flame, but the flame kept beating, making the light very faint, as if it would never illuminate the darkness in front of him, making the stone chamber even more eerie

However, at this time, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, and after thinking about it carefully, I found that there was no trace of the little ghost and the old thing in this house

I hurriedly looked around, but it turned out that I was the only one in this small stone room, and I was the only one at the moment, and the little ghost head and the old thing were really gone!

At that moment, I broke out in a cold sweat, because this hellish place was only the passage I had just come down from, and as far as the eye could see, the walls were all solid stone walls, and there was no other place to go.

So where did the two of them go, could it be that they were captured by ghosts?

Thinking of this, my whole body suddenly rose with a layer of white sweat, and my body trembled

I swallowed the fear in my heart and softly called out their names a few times: "Old thing little ghost"

When I called out their names, I noticed that my voice was a little shaky and very weak

I screamed several times, but there was no response from the chamber, but at that moment, I suddenly heard a "thump" on the wall on the left.

I was immediately startled by the sudden sound, and I hurriedly took a few steps back, and the muscles of my whole body tensed

However, just when I was terrified, the sound of hitting the wall suddenly stopped, and the stone chamber instantly returned to its original silence, as if the sound just now was just an auditory hallucination that I had generated

However, I knew very well in my heart that the sound was indeed there, and it could never be my auditory hallucinations caused by nervousness.

That means that there is something strange behind that wall, and it may not be possible to hide something to pass!

I waited for a moment, but there was no sound from behind the stone wall, so I cautiously stepped forward to check and put my ear to listen.

But just as I was putting my ears on it, there was a series of "crunching" sounds from behind the stone wall, which was slow, long, and harsh to listen to.

I quickly thought about the source of this sound in my mind, but when I thought about what it was, my scalp exploded instantly, and then my head buzzed, and a chill suddenly spread from the tail vertebrae directly to the Tianling Gai!

This sound, this fucking sound is the sound of someone scratching a wall with their fingernails!

Just imagine, when a person is in an extremely strange stone room, suddenly heard this kind of sound, what kind of feeling will it be, I dare to say that if it is a timid person, it will definitely be frightened, but even a bold person like me is already scared at the moment, and the body almost subconsciously bounces back

However, at this time, I suddenly remembered something that Wang Ergou in the village had told us

said that one day, when Wang Ergou was sleeping until midnight, he suddenly heard someone knocking on his door, so he got up and turned on the light, wanting to see who was knocking on the door in the middle of the night.

However, after turning on it several times, the lights did not come on, as if the power had gone out.

He didn't think much of it at the time, put on his coat and walked to the door, but just as he was about to open the door, the knock suddenly stopped, followed by the sound of nails scratching the wooden door.

He was scared to pee at the time, and the whole person instantly sat down on the ground limply, and then he crawled to the kitchen almost step by step, and also found a kitchen knife, hiding behind the kitchen door.

However, after a while, the scratching door suddenly became the sound of scratching the glass window, and the sound sounded even more terrifying and harsh.

Wang Ergou only thought that he had met a powerful ghost, so he silently recited "Amitabha" a few times in his mouth, and then he dared to sneak a glance at the window.

As a result, he was immediately frightened and dropped the kitchen knife in his hand.

Wang Ergou said that he really saw a pair of white and curved hands by the moonlight, and he was scratching the glass window with very long nails.

At that moment, he was almost scared to death, and immediately he howled like a pig in his throat

When the neighbors heard his cry, they all rushed over, but at this moment, the sound suddenly disappeared, as if it had never sounded.

When the neighbor came in and saw him squatting on the ground, his body was shaking, and his trouser legs were still wet, he knew that something had happened to him.

After asking the reason, a few brave villagers ran outside to check, and found that there were countless bloody marks on the wooden door and glass window.

Everyone was frightened at the time, and they all said that the evil ghosts from the back mountains had come to ask for their souls, so they all ran back to their homes and closed the doors and windows.

After dawn, Wang Ergou had the courage to go out to check, only to find that the wires connected under the eaves were somehow broken, and there were still many clearly visible blood marks on the door and glass window

After that, my second dog suddenly fell seriously ill, and I don't know if he was scared or really haunted by ghosts, in short, it took several months to get completely better.

He said that he felt scared when he thought about it now, until he later invited a Taoist priest to do a ritual, and then pasted ghost suppression charms on the doors and windows, which was not over.

Several of us children, after listening to what Wang Ergou said, were so frightened that they didn't even dare to sleep, for fear that something would scratch their doors and windows, so I was most afraid of hearing this kind of sound.

I'm really afraid of something, I actually heard this kind of sound in this weird place, which makes me have to think that behind this stone wall is a pair of white hands.

In fact, at that moment, I really wanted to run away, but my little ghost and the old thing are gone at this moment, maybe it has something to do with the sound behind the stone wall, so I can't go, even if this sound is made by a ghost, I must knock it out, and find a way to get those two guys out

Thinking of this, my courage suddenly increased a little, so I was ready to go up and take a look.

However, at this moment, the sound suddenly stopped, and then the wall shook, and at the same time, a stone door suddenly appeared on the wall, and it opened with a slow "click" sound

At that moment, I was so nervous that I couldn't even breathe, and my eyes were wide open, staring at the door.

The stone door slowly opened, but to my surprise, nothing happened, and nothing came out of the stone door

The more this happened, the more nervous I became, and countless beads of sweat the size of beans were born on my forehead in an instant, running down my cheeks and down my neck

No matter what terrible things happen in this door, I can accept it, even if it's a ghost floating out, it's a big deal to fight to the death, but nothing happens to it.

One second, three seconds, five seconds, the whole five seconds passed, and there was still no movement inside, I finally couldn't hold back at the moment, and began to walk towards the stone gate step by step.

However, just as I was about to reach the stone gate, a huge black shadow suddenly flew out of it, and I almost instinctively did a backflip to open up the black shadow's attack.

But when I stood up and looked at the black shadow again, I found that what appeared in front of me was an extremely ugly big-eyed monster.

Damn, this big black shadow is actually the old thing, this ugly thing, and behind it is the little thing with the devil's head.

Seeing that it was the two of them, I breathed a long sigh of relief, and couldn't help but scold: "Grandma, Lao Tzu almost scared you to pee!" ”

At that moment, I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead, and then rubbed my soft retreat, and then sat down on the ground.

For some reason, seeing these two guys again, my heart was extremely happy
