Chapter 819: Dungeon
If it was only me who saw him, then it might have been my hallucination, but the first person to see him was Zhang Donghai, and Wu Lin also craned his neck now, staring at the area illuminated by the flashlight.
Zhang Donghai couldn't help but ask: "Is that old man a human or a ghost?" ”
I shook my head, grabbed the edge of the hole with my hand, and rolled over and jumped onto the stone steps.
At first, I was worried that the stone steps might just look sturdy, and maybe the inside had crumbled into powder, until my feet landed on them, and the stone hanging in my heart fell to the ground.
The stone steps were very hard, and I jumped from a very high place, and when I landed, I only felt the soles of my feet tremble slightly, but the stone steps did not shake at all.
Then Wu Lin and Zhang Donghai also came down, among the three of us, regardless of hearing and vision, Wu Lin is sharper than me and Zhang Donghai, and Zhang Donghai has always been the shadow guard of Yu Heng, alert, and delicate enough, so I let Wu Lin take the lead, and after the Donghai Palace, I walked in the middle.
The wind blowing up from the bottom of the abyss was very strong, even the jacket was blown to the sound of hunting, and the backpack was supported by the wind, but it was a little lighter.
On the way, we were always worried that the Nuwa clan would set up traps on the stone steps, so we walked very carefully, but apart from the occasional trouble caused us by the wind, we never encountered any other anomalies.
After walking along the stone steps for about three hours, in addition to the sound of the wind, I could occasionally hear a sound of "pop, pop", which should be the sound of black mud falling to the ground, and we were not far from the bottom of the abyss.
Zhang Donghai patted me on the shoulder from behind, I looked back at him, and saw that he raised his hand and pointed to the top of his head, I looked up and moved my gaze up, and my eyes passed through the abyss, and I saw a touch of orange light.
I thought it was my delusion, so I rubbed my eyes and looked hard, but the light was still there.
What appeared at the entrance of the cave at this time was obviously the afterglow of the sunset! The abyss we are in today seems to have become a huge well, and we can see the sky through the mouth of the well.
I quickly rolled up my sleeves and looked at my watch, the hour hand had just set on the six o'clock scale, and it was just time for the sun to set.
Wu Lin probably sensed that Zhang Donghai and I were both stopping, and turned around and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
I followed the example of Donghai just now, and pointed to the top of my head.
When Wu Lin looked up and saw the afterglow of the sunset, he was also stunned for a moment.
What's even more strange is that as time passes, the afterglow of the sunset is still gradually dimming, as if it is about to enter the night.
Could it be that our eyes really penetrated the black mud in the depression and saw the sky above Dabie Mountain?
I looked at Zhangdonghai and I looked at each other, and Wu Lin was also confused now.
In the end, Zhang Donghai and Wu Lin asked me almost in unison what was going on.
You really think of me as a connoisseur!
I pondered for a long time, and finally I could only sigh: "This may be the unique witchcraft of the Nuwa clan, and I can't see the doorway inside." ”
Zhang Donghai also sighed and said, "It seems that you are not omnipotent. ”
I said in my heart, if I am really omnipotent, I don't have to toss myself so much for the sake of the mountains.
Wu Lin didn't say a word, turned around sullenly, and continued to walk forward, I noticed that as he walked, he withdrew the regular rounds from the sniper rifle and replaced them with armor-piercing rounds.
When the sky above the abyss was completely occupied by night and stars, the three of us finally reached the bottom of the abyss.
At the bottom of the abyss, there is a flat ground made of basalt, and the basalt stones one foot square are arranged in a circle, looking like a black whirlpool that has stopped flowing, and in the center of this flat land, there is a stone well, and the black mud dripping from above falls into the well exactly as it is, and the sound of mud hitting the rocks is often heard from the mouth of the well.
We descended the stone steps, stood on the basalt floor, and looked around, and soon found an arch more than two meters high on the stone wall at the bottom of the abyss.
Wu Lin was about to turn on the flashlight to check the situation on the arch, Da Hei suddenly ran towards the well, and then Xiao Hei also followed him, I felt strange in my heart, so I pulled Wu Lin and asked him to wait first.
After a while, Da Hei ran back and told me that there was an old woman in the well, and Xiao Hei took my hand and told me to go over and see it.
I went to the mouth of the well and lit it with a flashlight, and I saw that there was a large space under the well, and the ten meters deep was full of rubble, and at the bottom of the pile of stones was a mud swamp formed by the accumulation of falling mud.
But there's nothing but these things in front of me.
Then Da Hei desperately pointed to the well, and I followed the direction of his finger to shoot the light, only to find that in the corner of the black mud swamp sat an old lady, her back to me, I could not see her face, I could only see that she was wearing a black Han dress, and her almost pure white hair was casually draped on her back.
Just as I turned the flashlight to see more clearly, her figure first took a quick moment, and then disappeared from my sight.
I can basically be sure that the old lady who appeared in front of me just now is a ghost, although I didn't sense the unique yin qi on the ghost, but the quicksand of the Qi Sea just now did not outline her outline, indicating that she has no substance.
When Daikoku ran in the direction of the wellhead just now, I remember that there didn't seem to be any abnormal noise in the well, and there was no abnormality in the Qi field in the well, so I couldn't figure out why Daikoku suddenly rushed over.
I asked the question in my heart, and the big black and the little black said that they had heard a very gentle voice calling their names from the well, and then they ran to the well, and saw the old woman, and the old woman told them to take me to the well, and they did so.
Hearing them say this, I have an indescribable feeling in my heart, on the one hand, I feel that this matter is indeed a little strange, and on the other hand, I feel that the old ghost who just appeared in the black mire does not seem to be hostile, and the ordinary ghost is more or less resentful or angry, but the old ghost just now has a very calm atmosphere.
Xiao Hei's brain turned faster than Da Hei, and then he said to me on the side: "The old woman called you over, did she want to tell you something?" ”
What she said was exactly what I was thinking.
I nodded slowly, then picked up my flashlight and took a closer look at the black mud in the well, at first glance, the mud in this swamp and the mud in the black mud puddle did not seem to be much different, but if you carefully separated, you will find that the black mud here is even brighter, like a large pool of asphalt pressed at the bottom of the well.
Could this quagmire be the Black Fire Swamp?
Thinking of this, I immediately took out a water bottle, emptied the water inside, blew it in, and threw the bottle into the well.
The empty water bottle fell lightly, and when it was about to fall into the mire, it heard a "bang", and the whole quagmire was ignited in an instant, and the violent fire rushed out of the well, thanks to my induction block, and immediately withdrew a step, otherwise the hair would have to be ignited.
Since there was not much life in the bottle, the flame ignited on the swamp was quickly extinguished, but the fire wave was really powerful, and in just two or three seconds, the basalt on the ground was scorched, and even the rubber soles emitted a mushy smell.
This is the legendary holy fire, I didn't expect it to be more fierce than the karmic fire.
Moreover, the karmic fire is invisible and lightless, but the sacred flame does not look much different from ordinary flames, but the light of the fire is closer to white.
I let out a long breath and glanced into the well.
If the old ghost really wanted to tell me something, then she must have wanted to tell me not to go down the well.
Zhang Donghai and Wu Lin also came over early, witnessing the scene of the fire suddenly bursting from the wellhead, and Zhang Donghai is also afraid now.
Wu Lin said that if it wasn't for the moment just now, he would have wanted to take a look at the well, but fortunately he didn't go down at that time, otherwise, no matter how strong his self-healing ability is, there is only a handful of ashes left now.
This well must not be able to go down, and the only way in front of me is the arch on the stone wall.
The three of us lit the flashlight and cautiously felt into the door, which was a spacious tomb with stone lamps embedded in the walls on both sides, and I leaned over to the lamp to take a closer look, and found that the oil and wick that had existed for 5,000 years were still in use.
I buried a dark core in the tomb wall, and I lit a lantern with a lighter, and the other lanterns on the wall lit up one by one.
First of all, the entire tomb was lit up by a pale yellow firelight, and in a moment, there was a large area of fire outside the tomb, and I don't know what material the oil and wick of these ever-bright lamps are made of, and the flames are very stable, and they will not sway back and forth often like ordinary flames, causing the surrounding light and shadow to be in a trance.
Wu Lin loaded the sniper rifle and waved his hand to signal us to move on.
Everyone knows in their hearts that outside this cemetery, it should be the main tomb of the immortal tomb, the thousand-year-old corpse raised by the corpse coffin is now in the tomb, everyone does not dare to be careless, every step is cautious, the length of this tomb road is only sixty or seventy meters, but we walked for nearly five minutes.
But when we came out of the tomb, we were shocked by what we saw.
At that time, we were presented not with a cemetery, but with a large city buried deep underground, and the entrance to the tomb was built on the slope of an underground mountain, and when you looked down the hillside, you could see large stone houses, each of which emitted firelight, and the light converged to reflect most of the hillside in yellow.
Even Wu Lin couldn't help but speak: "I can't imagine that there can be such a city in such a deep place underground." ”
Zhang Donghai also echoed and said, "I guess this is where the Nuwa clan once lived." ”
