I told Zuo Youdao where the secret door was located, and reminded him that it would take a few minutes to get from the bottom of the cave to the secret door, even if it was the fastest speed.

Although the area of the cave is not large, there are a large number of stalactites on the ground, and you have to stand on tiptoe to walk, and you have to bypass the pillars that are jumping with electricity, and the speed of travel is definitely not comparable to walking on a smooth road.

The reason why I said so much is that I just want Zuo Youdao to have an idea, whether to go down or not, and when to go down.

Recently, I have been calculating others every day, and I am tired, and since Zuo Youdao, who is good at making decisions, is present, I really don't want to weigh all kinds of pros and cons.

Zuo Youdao only took less than a second to think, and then said, "Go." He jumped down.

Directly below the entrance of the cave, there is a stalactite column with a length of about seven meters, and after the left road descends three meters, it hugs the stalactite pillar and slides down quickly along the smooth column.

There is no electric light on this pillar, I estimate that when the blind people built a dark room here, there should have been a ladder through the pillar to go back and forth between the earthquake chamber and the fox chamber, and even now, some deep holes can still be seen on the pillar surface.

When Zuo Youdao was about to slide to the bottom of the hole, I jumped into the hole.

After holding the stalactite pillar with both hands, I realized that something was wrong, this was not a naturally formed stalactite at all, but artificially corroded with acid.

When the palm of my hand touched the cylinder, I could feel a slight burning sensation on the skin of my hand, which caused me to immediately attach a layer of yin shell to the surface of my body to prevent the skin from being corroded by acid.

At this time, I suddenly remembered that similar acidic particles had appeared in the tomb that connected the tomb to the outside world, and if I guessed correctly, it is possible that this storage room and the tomb are directly connected.

But I took a closer look at the roof of the cave, and there were no holes such as vents, and the entire top was solid.

Besides, this place is too deep underground, even if Xu Blind really wants to dig a vent to get out, the manpower and material resources spent are incalculable.

In fact, looking back now, the reason why I thought this way at that time was because I overlooked one thing, this is obviously a disorderly interlaced space, we think we are deep in the depth of more than a thousand meters underground, but in fact, we may only be twenty or thirty meters from the surface.

At this moment, Zuo Youdao also condensed his mental power, and wrapped a layer of pure yang energy on the surface of his body, and when I slid down from the stalactite pillar, he immediately reached out and helped me.

When I stood firm, Zuo Youdao took out his flashlight and shone into the darkness: "The secret door is in that direction." ”

Seeing what he meant, he still wanted to get ahead of me.

It's his inherent habit to take the lead.

I took out my flashlight and said, "I'll light it up in the back, you just follow the direction of the beam." ”

Zuo Youdao nodded quickly, and then I pointed out the direction with my flashlight, and he walked as fast as he could towards the place where the beam extended, and when he needed to stop, I would warn him in advance.

The speed of the two of us was not slow, and after walking around in the stalactite forest for three or four minutes, the seven or eight stalactite pillars surrounding the secret door were very close to us.

Buzz –

At first I thought it was the ground shaking, until the scene around me was quickly illuminated by the blue light, and I realized that it was the sound of a large amount of electricity flowing down the roof of the cave.

I saw that a thick electric current was flowing into the roof of the cave along the top beams and pillars, and quickly gathered at the top of the cave, and the electric light became brighter and brighter, and almost one-sixth of the roof of the cave was completely enveloped by electric light.

Looking at the bright blue that kept converging, my heart began to tremble.

The intense humming, accompanied by this imminent light, brings a huge pressure that ordinary people can imagine.

Zuo Youdao and I stopped at about the same time, and both raised their heads and looked at the top of the cave in horror.

In such an enclosed space, even if the lightning did not fall directly on the heads of me and Zuo Youdao, the residual electricity spreading along the ground alone could scorch the two of us.

And the currents converge so fast that we can't rush through the secret door before lightning appears.

All we can do now is pray that the lightning will not appear.

Fortunately, the electricity on the roof of the cave slowly dissipated after hovering for a while.

Zuo Youdao and I didn't dare to have the slightest delay, and hurriedly took the fastest step to rush to the secret door, Zuo Youdao used a green steel sword to break the rusty lock on the stone door, I pulled the door panel with force, and then the two of us didn't look at what was underneath, and jumped towards the door.

At that time, the two of us were really frightened, our minds were confused, and our movements were very flustered.

People like us are like this, saying that we are not afraid of death, we are indeed not afraid of death, but we are all mortals in the flesh, and who is really not afraid of death. We are not afraid of going deep into the place of death, and we are not afraid of dying at the end of our lives, what we are afraid of is this kind of situation where if we are lucky we will not die, and if we are unlucky, we will die ugly.

That feeling of hope and despair coexists is really uncomfortable for us.

After jumping into the doorway, my brain was still confused, and I forgot to use my ghost eyes to observe the situation around me, so I let my body fall lightly.

Zuo Youdao landed one step ahead of me, and after I fell three or four meters, I fell heavily on Zuo Youdao.

Zuo Youdao was knocked down on the spot, and I was pushed to my waist by his shoulders as hard as a stone, and I also twisted and fell to the ground after I landed.

As soon as I fell to the ground, I hurriedly got up and looked towards the doorway above my head, and Zuo Youdao moved exactly the same as me, staring at the arch as if I was afraid that there would be thunder and lightning coming down.

After looking over the arch, I saw that the earthquake chamber was still surging with electricity, but there was no lightning for a long time.

I don't know how long it took before I suddenly came back to my senses, quickly threw the gossip money into the arch, hung the money hole on the sharp corner of the door panel, and then pulled the yang wire to close the door panel again.

It wasn't until the secret door was completely closed that the blast of thunder and lightning finally came from overhead.

When we heard this voice earlier, Zuo Youdao and I didn't think anything about it, but after seeing the scene of the convergence of electricity and light, the two of us heard this movement, and we hit a spirit on the spot.

Zuo Youdao sighed: "I've never thought thunder and lightning were so scary before. ”

I breathed a sigh of relief, took out the cigarette case from my backpack, and sent it to Zuo Youdao, who waved his hand and said no.

Although people like us need to be healthy all year round, and theoretically they must not smoke, but at the same time, we often wander on the edge of life and death, and the huge pressure brought by life and death seems to be resolved only by tobacco and sweets, so that every person who is often suspected of being in the industry has to hover between smoking and quitting smoking for a lifetime.

I took out a cigarette and lit it, took two puffs of mist, and then calmed down and got up to observe the situation around me.

And Zuo Youdao picked up the flashlight early in the morning and swept the light back and forth, trying to see the whole picture of this dark space.

This should be the "torture chamber" depicted on the gold leaf, the area of the entire basement is only two or three hundred square meters, on the walls and pillars, there are many knives, among which the arm thick tooth saws are the majority, in addition to many wind-powered hooks and thick-backed machetes.

The size and weight of each torture instrument were very large, and it did not look like it was used for execution, but it looked like it was used to divide the corpse.

I deliberately took a saw from the stone pillar and looked at it carefully, this thing was obviously made of iron, and no special anti-corrosion measures were taken, but the whole saw had no traces of rust, and the saw blade was still very sharp, and even faint blood could be seen on the blade.

At this time, Zuo Youdao on the side also said: "Everything is like new." ”

Yes, everything is new, and I don't even smell any of the age here.

Only in two cases will the ability of the family members to recognize the incense and distinguish the ancient will fail, one is to lose the sense of smell, and the other is to put in front of us a new product that has just been baked.

Recognition of incense can only distinguish the past, but not the present.

I put down the saw and picked up a thick-backed knife, a knife with a particularly wide back, which at first glance was used to chop hard objects.

Zuo Youdao shook his flashlight, and the beam of light swept up a square table in the corner, on which were placed several foot-long nails and a very large oil lamp.

The wick was already charred, but the oil inside was still full.

Zuo Youdao borrowed a lighter from me and went over to light the oil lamp.

The oil and wick of the lamp should have been specially made, and the flames were very strong, and all of a sudden, with the square table as the center, the surrounding ten meters were illuminated.

Zuo Youdao turned off the flashlight, holding an oil lamp in one hand and a green steel sword in the other, scanning around, his gaze moved back and forth between the torture instruments on the wall a few times, and his face became more and more solemn.

"What's wrong?" I asked him.

Zuo Youdao said: "These things give me the feeling ...... Anyway, it's very weird, I know that they have just been built for a long time, but I feel like they are very old. It's like, once these things are built, time stops, and that stagnation is hundreds of years. ”

I guess Zuo Youdao shouldn't know about the quadruple space, but his guess is amazing, and almost says one of the most important characteristics of the quadruple space, that is, the space and time here are disordered.

The so-called disorder is that it is possible to overlap, it is possible to retreat, it is possible to move forward in unimaginable ways, and of course it is possible to stagnate.

I can be sure that this torture chamber is definitely something made during the Chenghua period, but everything here will not appear here, and there is only one reasonable explanation for this, that is, time here is stagnant, and everything that changes with time will remain the same here.
