The temple gate is two stone slabs closed together, and there are more stone nodules on them than on the roof and walls, and they look like the skin of a toad.

Li Huaishan suffered from a slight phobia of intensity, and as soon as he saw the dense stone tumors on the temple gate, he immediately struck a spirit.

I walked up to the door with my flashlight and tried to push the panel.

I thought that this door was already very heavy, but I didn't expect it to slowly open with just a slight push.

On the other side of the door, there is a long and narrow tunnel, which is two meters high and one meter wide like the door, not to mention walking in, just standing outside and watching it makes me feel suffocated.

Li Huaishan still couldn't help but speak: "Do you still want to go inside, it's weird and panicked here." ”

I made a silencing gesture at him and continued to move forward with my flashlight.

The air in the tunnel was unusually humid, adding a stickiness to the already claustrophobic space, and Li Huaishan obviously couldn't calm down in such a place, his footsteps began to fall apart, and the beam of light coming from behind me was also swaying.

I turned around and slapped a light in his face, and he immediately raised his hand to cover it.

I don't know what's wrong with me today, as soon as I see his nervous look, the anger in my heart doesn't come to a place.

"Flashing eyes." Li Huaishan shook the hand he used to cover his eyes, and said to me very unhappily.

I took back the flashlight and counted him down in a very unhappy tone: "Li Huaishan, this is not the first time you have gone to the grave, why haven't you grown at all?" You're nervous! ”

After speaking, I didn't pay attention to Li Huaishan's reaction, and then walked deeper.

After a long time, Li Huaishan muttered in the back: "What are you doing, this is this, suddenly became so strict, like a Yanan." ”

Regardless of whether he wants to be counted down by me or not, anyway, after muttering this sentence, Li Huaishan's footsteps gradually stabilized, and the light coming from behind me also stabilized.

I don't know what to say about Li Huaishan.

He, sometimes he just follows the donkey, you follow him, he listens to you everything, but sometimes, you have to whip him twice before he is willing to move his ass and take two steps forward.

But this is not bad, at least you follow him or force him, he is still willing to break through himself, unlike some people, soft and hard do not eat, no matter what you do, people are just paralyzed on the ground like a lump of dung, who you love, how you love, anyway, you are determined to stumble to the end, and you will not stand up like a living person when you die.

The tunnel was very long, and Li Huaishan and I walked for nearly an hour before finally passing through the end of the tunnel and coming to a large dark space.

The water is very vapoury and the wind is very strong, so I stood at the exit of the tunnel and looked ahead, and in the miserable white beam, I could see large and small particles of water fluttering in the air with the wind.

"it, cliff!"

Li Huaishan's exclamation came from behind me, and I immediately turned around and hit the light on his face.

He blocked his eyes with one hand, held the edge of the tunnel with the other, and shouted: "Don't make trouble, be careful of falling." ”

As he spoke, his flashlight shone right on the ground, and I realized that the road under my feet was only more than a meter wide, and on both sides of the road, there was bottomless darkness.

To confirm, I turned my flashlight again and threw the beam into the darkness.

It is indeed bottomless.

Due to the heavy humidity, the ground is very slippery, and on such a small road with a width of only more than one meter, if Li Huaishan and I are not careful, we will fall into the bottomless abyss.

Li Huaishan shouted from behind again: "Let's go back, this place is too dangerous!" ”

I ignored him, just leaned down, pressed one hand and both feet to the ground at the same time, and held the flashlight in the other hand, slowly moving forward.

Li Huaishan first shouted: "I won't follow you, I'm afraid of heights." ”

But when I walked away, he scolded angrily: "If you are not, your uncle! Then I heard him crawling on the ground.

In fact, I don't know why I have to take Li Huaishan with me, but if I don't take him, I feel as if everything is incomplete.

The more I climbed forward, the stronger the wind felt, and the force seemed to press down on my shoulders and thighs, pushing me into the bottomless abyss beside me.

I know it's an illusion, as if when you stand on a skyscraper and look down, you feel like you're leaning towards the edge of the roof.

Li Huaishan obviously didn't think this was an illusion, and shouted loudly in the back: "If not, I can't do it!" It's so windy, I'm going to be blown down! ”

Now I was really afraid that he would fall into the abyss because he was too nervous, so I immediately turned my head and shouted at him: "The wind is the same, you are delusional." Don't think about the abyss around you now, hold down your center of gravity and climb slowly, and climb another twenty meters to the big platform. ”

Li Huaishan closed his eyes vigorously, roared to give himself courage, and then lay on the ground, moving towards me little by little like a long worm.

In order to take care of him, I had to slow down and look back at him every few meters.

At that time, Li Huaishan was lying on the ground, his neck was raised high, his eyes were fixed on the front, and he showed a grinning expression.

Looking at his appearance, I was really frightened, I have known him for so long, it is the first time I have seen him like this.

But the arrow is off the string, and I can't go back halfway, so I can only keep going.

The path surrounded by the abyss is only 100 meters long, and at the end of the path, there is indeed a very wide stone platform, and when I looked up, I saw that there seemed to be a pair of stone statues standing in the center of the stone platform.

Bang la la la -

As I approached the stone platform, I faintly heard the sound of running water in the distance, at first I thought it was the sound from my dream that was about to appear again, but then I moved a few steps towards the stone platform, but the sound of the water quickly weakened, and disappeared completely in a few seconds.

Ascending the stone platform, I turned around and looked at Li Huaishan, and saw that this guy slowly moved to the edge of the stone platform, got on the stone platform, and then continued to crawl on the ground, slowly moving forward.

He didn't notice any change in the road under his feet at all.

I quickly took two steps forward, grabbed him by the arm and pulled him up, and as he got up, he closed his eyes and shouted, "Don't pull me up, the wind is too strong, I will fall!" Ahh

I couldn't look at it anymore, so I tapped a finger on the back of his head: "You can see clearly, we have already gone up to the stone platform." ”

Li Huaishan cautiously opened his eyes, and he quickly looked around, until he was sure that there was a huge platform with an area of at least hundreds of square meters under his feet, and then he let out a long breath.

When he was done, he slapped behind him again, and said in confusion: "Didn't you just say that twenty meters in front of you is a big platform, but how do I think that I have climbed more than twenty meters." ”

I told him honestly, "Actually, I didn't know there was a stone platform in front of me at that time, and the reason why I said that was just to reassure you." ”

Li Huaishan's face was pulled down with a brush.

Before he could speak, I waved my hand at him: "Again, don't speak in this kind of place where the Qi field is silted." ”

He was just about to get out of his mouth when I blocked him back, like something.

I smiled helplessly in my heart and didn't say anything more.

The platform in front of me is very empty as a whole, and only the two stone sculptures in the central area are very abrupt.

I walked to the stone sculpture with a flashlight, and I saw that there was a flat and long base next to the two stone sculptures, it seems that the stone sculptures here should have been three, but I don't know what the reason is, one of them was demolished, leaving only such a base.

Li Huaishan also came over, and he slapped the light on the stone carving, and his brows suddenly wrinkled tightly.

The two stone statues are more than three meters high, and when viewed from a distance, they look like two cats sitting on the ground, but when you look closer, there is a human head on the cat's neck.

To be honest, I was surprised when I first saw the strange stone, but soon I thought about what these stone statues depicted.

This cat-like thing with a human face is called a horse's belly, and it was a vicious beast in ancient times.

For the belly of the horse, it is also recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas": "There is a beast, its name is the belly of the horse, its shape is like a human face and a tiger body, its sound is like a baby, it is a cannibal." ”

In the eyes of most cultivators, this ancient evil beast native to Manqu Mountain should have been extinct before King Wu fell, but it is recorded in the feng shui classics of the old family that during the Jianwu period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu also saw traces of this thing in the area of Diancang Mountain.

And the stone statue that appeared in front of me at this moment is precisely the product of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"How do you know it's a tomb?" Li Huaishan stared at the stone statue for a long time, and suddenly asked.

Who made you speak!

I gave him a blank look, and then I said to him, "I said that this is not the first time you have been to the grave, not that you have actually entered the catacombs, I mean...... You've had an experience going underground, so you shouldn't be so nervous. ”

Li Huaishan pursed his lips and did not speak.

I turned my gaze to the statue and said, "If this is really a tomb, it will be quite troublesome. ”

Li Huaishan couldn't help but speak again: "What do you mean?" ”

This time, I didn't have the heart to blame him, so I pointed to the two stone statues and said to him, "This thing is called a horse's belly, and it is a man-eating beast in ancient times. You say, what kind of person would put these two things in the tomb when he built a tomb for himself? ”

Bang la la la la -

Before the words could land, the sound of running water came from the distance.

I made a closer look, and the sound was completely different from what I had heard in my dreams.

The sound in the dream was that of a waterfall beating on an iron plate, and the sound that appeared in front of me at this moment was more like the sound of a spring flowing vigorously.

The sound was light and thin, and it should have been very pleasant, but when it reached my ears, the cold hairs on my back stood on end.
