Gu Feng walked to the front, signaled to the soldiers in the fortifications, the three soldiers pulled the iron chain together, and at the same time as the iron chain was pulled, the wind sound came from the walls on both sides, and then the wind turned into a roar, and then the stones on the surface of the walls on both sides of the wall were lifted, and a large amount of wind blew in from it, starting to circulate from left to right.

After Gu Feng raised his hand, the soldier released the chain, and the sound of the wind weakened, and then disappeared.

At this moment, the stone that had previously blocked the wind outlet fell, making a crisp sound.

Le Zhengxian approached and touched the so-called thin stone, only to realize that it was just a cast iron plate.

"I see." Tang Anshu finally understood, "You have dug vents inside the prison, and if the enemy attacks with water, you can open the vents and release the water through the vents. If you smoke it, in the same way, open the air vent to immediately circulate the air. ”

Sun San said: "That's right, but this is not only to prevent foreign enemies, but also to prevent the infringement of another thing." ”

Tang Anshu frowned: "Heavy defense is not only external, but also internal? Dashuai, if I'm not mistaken, these defenses are all to ensure that "Jinling Jane" does not fall into the hands of others, right? ”

Sun San nodded: "Yes, let's go, you'll know below." ”

Le Zhengxian glanced at Tang Anshu, Tang Anshu remained silent and continued to move forward behind Sun San and Gu Feng.

After descending for another half an hour, the crowd finally came to an iron gate, and the soldiers in front of the iron gate stood up and saluted.

Gu Feng stepped forward and asked, "No one else came, right?" ”

The soldier squad leader replied: "Report to Adjutant Gu!" Staff Officer and Commander Huang had been here the day before, but because they didn't have your warrant, they didn't let them go down, and they didn't ask much. ”

Gu Feng nodded: "Staff Officer Tie and Commander Huang have been relieved of their military positions, if they come again, they will be killed." ”

"Yes!" The soldiers replied in unison.

Sun San ordered again: "Take out the mask." ”

The soldiers turned and went into the nearby hut and pulled out four strange-looking masks.

Tang Anshu took a mask, looked at it over and over, and asked, "What is it for?" ”

"Saving lives." Gu Feng explained, "You must wear this gas mask, put on a cloak, and seal the cuffs and neckline before you can enter, otherwise you will definitely die if you enter." ”

Le Zhengxian looked at the mask: "It's British?" Gas masks you bought from the British? ”

Sun San nodded, and put on that weird cloak with the help of the soldiers: "Yes, I bought it from those British soldiers in Xingang, a total of twenty sets, and it cost Lao Tzu a lot of money, although I knew that it was blackmail, but there was nothing I could do." ”

Tang Anshu realized something: "Dashuai, "Jinling Jane" is a poison? ”

Sun San had already put on a gas mask, and his speech became angry: "You're almost right, hurry up and put it on, go in and take a look, Gu Feng, take a flashlight, and the two of you, if you have flints, matches and other things on your body, don't take them out, otherwise it will kill us." ”

After tossing for a while, the four of them put on their strange costumes and slowly walked to the iron gate.

Gu Feng raised his hand and waved, the soldiers nodded, and pulled open the gate on both sides, and the four of them slowly walked in.

After entering the door, Gu Feng took the lead in turning on the flashlight, Sun San, Tang Anshu and Le Zhengxian also hurriedly opened it, and at the same time, the iron door outside was also slowly closed.

Tang Anshu saw that there was a staircase that extended into the depths of darkness below, and he couldn't see the bottom of the stairs when he went down to the light of the flashlight.

"Hell ends in this road." Sun San said in front of him, "Wait a minute, you will know why I named this prison as Prison." ”

The four of them continued to descend, because of the dampness, the stairs were very slippery, and they were wearing cloaks that were inconvenient to move around, and gas masks that were not very convenient for observing the surroundings, so they could only slowly descend sideways, and the walls on both sides were also so slippery that people could not hold on to each other, so they had to support each other from time to time.

Le Zhengxian counted the stairs in his heart, and when he counted to a hundred, he finally couldn't help asking, "How far is it?" ”

Gu Feng at the front stopped and said, "It's not far, it's almost there." ”

After descending another fifty steps, a huge stone door appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Tang Anshu and Le Zhengxian held their flashlights to illuminate the left and right sides of the stone gate respectively, looking at the carved patterns on it that had long been blurred because of the age.

Tang Anshu looked up: "The scene engraved on it seems to be hell, but it doesn't look like the hell described in Buddhism." ”

Le Zhengxian looked at the right side, then looked to the left, and then affirmed: "To be exact, it's not hell, but Artemisia." ”

Sun San said strangely on the side: "Artemisia? What is that? ”

After being reminded by Le Zhengxian, Tang Anshu also reacted: "There was no clear hell in the early years of Huaxia, I remember that there was a song "Artemisia Li" in the ancient words of Han Yuefu, which contained 'Who is in Artemisia?' There is no virtuous or foolish soul to gather. The ghost uncle is urging him, and human life must not hesitate', and the Artemisia mentioned in it refers to the Artemisia Mountain next to Mount Tai. ”

Gu Feng seemed to understand a little: "So, Artemisia is the underworld that we used to refer to in Huaxia?" ”

"Yes, before the concept of Yama in Buddhism, the folk believed that the god Taishan who ruled the underworld was called Taishan Fujun, and now he is also called Dongyue Emperor." Tang Anshu looked at it closely and explained, "In the "Romance of the Gods" handed down from the Ming Dynasty, Jiang Ziya gave Huang Feihu the position of Emperor Dongyue and put him in charge of the eighteenth layer of hell. ”

Le Zhengxian raised his hand and pointed to the stone gate: "These paintings carved on the door have also added a lot of records of the underworld in the Book of Mountains and Seas, you see that there are nine doors painted on it, and there is a monster in front of the door, with a tiger body and a human face, with nine heads, it should be an enlightened beast." ”

Tang Anshu found something at this time and began to retreat: "Brother Xian, retreat to me, and then move your flashlight to the middle, yes, this is it, don't move anymore." ”

Tang Anshu stood there and looked carefully, and finally found that there were two huge Chinese characters hidden in the pattern on the door-屍風.

"Corpse wind?" Tang Anshu read it, "What does this mean?" ”

Sun San and Gu Feng also found out at this time, the two couldn't help but glance at each other, for so many years, this was the first time they found these two words on the door, in the past, they didn't want to stay here longer, almost didn't look closely, and left quickly.

Le Zhengxian looked at it carefully, and said to himself: "Poison? Corpse wind? What is the relationship between poison and corpse wind? I felt like I'd seen something like this somewhere, but I don't remember. ”

Tang Anshu asked Sun San: "Dashuai, what's behind the door?" Is "Jinling Jane" behind the door? ”

Sun San shook his head: "No, there are the consequences of "Jinling Jian" behind the door, the real "Jinling Jian" is still below the bottom, I sent a team of well-trained soldiers down that year, but only Adjutant Gu came back alive." ”

Tang Anshu asked Gu Feng again: "Adjutant Gu, can you elaborate?" ”

Gu Feng's face was ugly at this time, of course, because of the gas mask, no one else could see it.

Gu Feng said: "Wait until we leave here, now, do you want to go in?" ”

Tang Anshu said: "Of course." ”

Le Zhengxian asked, "How to open the door?" ”

Gu Feng walked to the side and pushed away a moving stone next to it, revealing the lever below: "Pull this thing, and the door will open, but let me remind you first, what is behind the door will leave a permanent mark on your heart." ”

After that, Gu Feng pulled the lever hard.

After the lever was pulled down, the stone door slowly opened to both sides, everyone subconsciously retreated, and the moment the door opened, a gust of wind blew from inside, and the wind also carried a lot of rags and dust.

When the wind stopped, the door opened completely.

Gu Feng stood on the side and pulled out the long knife behind him: "Let's go, I'll lead the way, Dashuai, you go back first." ”

Sun San nodded silently, stood by the gate on the left, and watched the three of them slowly walk in.

Gu Feng walked into the door with a knife, and Tang Anshu and Le Zhengxian followed behind him, holding flashlights to shine on the left and right.

After entering the door, without taking ten steps, Gu Feng stopped, and then bypassed from the right side, the moment he bypassed, Tang Anshu's flashlight shone in front of him, and he saw a dry corpse full of holes kneeling on the ground in front of him.

The corpse knelt on the ground, covering his chest with his hands, and next to the corpse there were two corpses, one curled up on the ground, and the other kneeling on the ground, arched in a ball, looking in pain.

Gu Feng stood there and said coldly: "From here on, it will be hell." ”

Tang Anshu and Le Zhengxian looked at the dried corpse, and couldn't help but gasp, thinking in their hearts: What the hell is this?

As they walked around the three dried corpses, they saw more and more corpses, arranged on both sides in various positions, and it was clear from the way they died that they had suffered a great deal before they died, and some of them had even stabbed themselves in the chest with daggers.

Le Zhengxian sighed: "How did these people die? Poisoning? The word corpse wind on the door is the name of that poison? ”

Tang Anshu was silent, just silently walking behind Gu Feng.

After walking for a while, Gu Feng stopped, held up his flashlight to illuminate the black hill in front of him, and didn't speak, just stood like that.

Tang Anshu and Le Zhengxian stepped forward and also shone a flashlight, and at first glance they found that it was just a hill made of gray and white stones, but when the two of them got closer and saw it clearly, they were both startled.

"This is ......" Le Zhengxian took a step back sharply after seeing it clearly.

Tang Anshu's flashlight shone on a hand stretched out from the small mountain bag, yes, it was indeed a small mountain bag, but it was a mountain of corpses piled up by human corpses.

Gu Feng said coldly at this time: "Now, you should know what hell is like. ”

In the side hall of the Yongcheng Governor's Mansion, the tea on the table was steaming, and the freshly baked snacks were still hot, exuding bursts of tempting fragrance, but Qiu Gubo and Yansun at the table were not on it, just looking at Fu Guodong who was standing with his back to them and facing the window.

"That's hell." Fu Guodong took a deep breath and turned around, "That day, I saw Hell on Snake Heart Island, and I also know why Sun San named it Prison, the holes on those dry corpses were all grabbed and pulled out by themselves before they died, just like the people who were executed by Ling Chi, but it was they who executed them." ”

Qiu Gubo asked, "What kind of poison is that?" ”

Fu Guodong shook his head: "I don't know, but in order to know the effect of the poison, we arrested a heinous death row prisoner for experiments, that guy is a murderer of children, and killed 13 children in half a year, so using this kind of person for experiments, I believe no one will say that we are cruel." ”
