Chapter 342: Huangquan Road
Among the four clans of criminals, the fleshless man is the most peculiar one. Because his whole body was gone, just a dry skeleton of bones, at best, with a few important internal organs, hanging half-dead on the skeleton.
This image is naturally as ugly as it is, and what makes me most curious is that he doesn't even have a voice, and he doesn't know how to speak in ventriloquism like a headless man.
I said to the fleshless man with a disgusted face, if you have something to say, don't come near me, disgusting Bala, don't you realize it?
The fleshless man's bare skull didn't have an expression on it, and as soon as his upper and lower teeth touched, a voice came, saying, "Lord Priest, this Yin and Yang Passage is not simple, it is said that there are twelve in the world, all of which lead to the Endless Abyss. ”
I listened with great interest, because although the four sinners have declined, they have been passed down for thousands of years, and it is normal to know something we don't know.
According to the fleshless man, this world is inseparable from yin and yang, just as there is day and night, there is man and woman, and there is life and death. And since the world we live in is on the ground, there must be a world underground.
Otherwise, the theory of yin and yang will not be true at all.
Since there is a world underground, there must be a place where the ground and the underground communicate. Thousands of years ago, Emperor Shun had sent countless purple-clothed priests all over the world to find those places to communicate yin and yang.
I don't know what method they used, anyway, the purple-clothed priests ran almost all over the earth, and used the way of yin and yang feng shui to investigate, and only then did they find twelve natural channels to communicate yin and yang.
These channels are not fixed, but constantly change positions as the continental plates drift. Some continental plates have a faster drift rate, and the change of the yin-yang channel is larger, and some continental plates have a slower speed, so the change of the yin-yang channel is relatively small.
After Emperor Shun knew that there was a communication between Yin and Yang, he once sent the priests to carve stairs on the Yin and Yang Passage and go in to find out. It's just that the twelve yin and yang passages are scattered all over the world, and it is a huge project to dig the ladder, and it is not something that can be completed overnight.
The ladder excavation project of the Yin and Yang Passage was only carried out for a small half, and Emperor Shun could not withstand it, and Chan gave up the position to Dayu. As a result, in order to control the flood, Dayu summoned the priests scattered all over the world, and forced the ladder carving project of the Yin and Yang Channel to run aground.
When the fleshless man said this, he still opened his skeletal eyes and said, "Lord Priest, there must be a staircase carved thousands of years ago under this passage, but no one knows how deep the stairs are carved, if there is no road below, the little one is willing to carry you down." ”
I saw the dry bones and quivering internal organs of the fleshless man, and I felt sick to my stomach. I said, "Okay, let's go ahead and talk about it!" If there are really no ladders, it will not be your turn to carry me. ”
The fleshless man touched a nail in me, and the boneless people, skinless people, and bloodless people were all there with a weird laugh. Among them, the skinless man was still sneering there, saying, who doesn't know the legend of the Yin and Yang Channel? It's too bad for you to curry favor with the priest with this little thing, right?
The fleshless man said in a shadowy manner: "Lao Tzu, is that trying to please the priest? Lao Tzu is concentrating on solving problems for the priest! ”
I got impatient and said, "Shut up!" ”
It's so good to say my words, but as soon as I shut up, the leaders of the four sinners didn't dare to speak. Suddenly, all that was left in the entire pitch-black spiral passage was the rustling of footsteps.
The king in black was right, he went down the spiral staircase, and after more than seventy meters, the traces of artificial excavation disappeared, and was replaced by a naturally formed, bottomless pit.
Around the bottomless pit, there are also badly worn stone staircases, which are very different from the spiral stairs carved out by the Russians. The spiral passage dug by the Russians is so good that it fits the pace of people, and there are soft ropes for protection around it.
The spiral stairs below are not only worn and round, but also empty and unsupported, and if you are not careful when you walk on them, you will fall directly into the bottomless endless abyss.
I heard the thin man in the special case department with a straight face scolding: "Grandma, this pockmark is not pockmark, this is a pit man?" ”
Colonel Di Ming took a flashlight and shone it, and said, "That's right, everyone walks this road, with ropes, the seven of us are strung together, and there is a care for each other." ”
I looked at the four sinners next to me and said, "What about them?" ”
Colonel Di Ming didn't look back and said, "Life and death are fate!" Each according to his ability! ”
In fact, Colonel Di Ming was right, since he dared to go to the capital city, he must be ready to give his life. Those ghosts, spirits, murderers, and living people in front of them, who didn't go down from here? Those who have the ability will successfully arrive in the capital to negotiate and get a piece of the pie, and those who have no ability will fall and fall to their deaths.
With the ability of the seven of us, it is not difficult to go down this round spiral staircase, after all, everyone is a skill, and the eaves and walls are idle. But just in case, everyone still has to use ropes to link together, and if someone misses, they can be dragged up by the other six people.
As for the four clans of criminals, those who have the ability will come down, and we will not care about those who have no ability, after all, they can't even take care of the living, who cares about their half-dead guys?
But we looked at the flashlights, wrapped ropes around each other, and went down the round, smooth spiral staircase. Probably because there are many people walking in front of us, this spiral staircase is not as scary as it seems on the surface, but it is a relief for us.
Unexpectedly, no one from the four clans of sinners flinched, and cautiously climbed down after us. What surprised me the most were the dozen or so boneless men, who had dismantled the sticks that supported their muscles, and their bodies were paralyzed.
It was good for me to be paralyzed now, like a snake climbing down the rock wall, faster than the seven of us.
I said in my heart that this group of guys would be useful at a critical time, so I let the boneless people go down to explore the way, and notify us in time if there is any danger along the way. When the leader of the boneless man heard this, he was overjoyed, and his voice trembled with excitement, and he said, "Yes! Priest! I'll be sure to let you know as soon as possible! ”
There are boneless people exploring the way below, and we can sort of put down a little bit. At the moment, I went down the difficult ladder wholeheartedly.
This journey took us seven or eight hours, during which we also rested three times on the rock wall of the Yin-Yang Passage and ate something. Calculating the distance, even if we descend 500 meters in an hour, we have already gone deeper than 4,000 meters underground.
The further down it goes, the warmer it gets, and even the smell of sulfur fills the air, as if it were getting closer and closer to the underground magma.
In fact, if it were to be changed to another place, the depth of more than 4,000 meters would already be too high in pressure and too high in temperature, and it would be difficult to dig out the earth and fire magma.
But this yin and yang channel only has a slight increase in temperature, and even the air should have it, which is really incomprehensible.
That is, we don't have geologists in our team this time, otherwise we will definitely do a thorough study here to see what is causing it.
We rested for a while and then continued down, and just as I was anxious about the endless descent, the boneless man who was exploring the path below finally got the news, and it was over.
As soon as the news of the boneless man came, everyone's spirits instantly lifted, and even the speed of descent became much faster. I took the flashlight from my waist and shot it downward, and then I saw the boneless man shake it upwards with the flashlight we provided.
According to the position of the flashlight light source, it is about more than 80 meters below.
We've come down more than 4,000 meters, and we still care about more than 80 meters? We sped up and descended the tattered spiral staircase. After more than ten minutes, I saw the boneless man like a puddle of mud, prostrate on the ground and kneeling in one direction.
I swept my gaze, only to notice that there seemed to be a person standing in the direction of the boneless man kneeling. The man hid himself in the darkness, and he couldn't see very clearly, the only thing he could confirm was that the man was staring at us with his head tilted, and his eyes were shining as if they were still shining.
At that time, my heart was in my throat, who is this person? How could a boneless man bow down to him?
