Chapter 881: Underground Ruined Temple

The problem is that Zuo Youdao seems to have known that such things will appear in the canopy of the tree for a long time, but he had only stood far away and looked at the bronze tree before, and he couldn't even identify the things with ghost eyes, how did Zuo Youdao find them?

Zuo Youdao repeated a large number of times on the canopy of the tree, and in the end, probably because he couldn't see the original appearance of the ornament, he could only sigh and turn the flashlight to another place.

I asked Zuo Youdao why he cared so much about these ornaments, Zuo Youdao said that he had also seen an iron tree in the tomb of the Dragon King at the mouth of the Yellow River, and the things hanging on the tree were similar in size to the hanging on the bronze tree, and the outline seemed to be similar, he said that he had a very strange feeling in his heart, and always felt that this tomb was connected to the tomb of the Dragon King at the mouth of the Yellow River.

From the mouth of the Yellow River to here, the distance is thousands of miles, and it is impossible for such two tombs to be connected.

But Zuo Youdao's tone was very serious when he spoke, not like he was joking, and Zuo Youdao was not a joker.

It seems that when we return to the surface, it is really necessary for the two of us to talk deeply about our respective experiences over the years, and there may be many things that the two of us have in common.

It is possible that the matter of Zhoushan and the funeral religion is also the same.

After that, we looked at the bronze tree again and again, and were surprised to find a faint gold-like sheen under the copper salt covered in the bark.

I took out my tools and polished the copper salt off the bark, and I saw that the bark was artificially inlaid with a piece of gold leaf the size of a square meter.

The nature of gold is much more stable than that of bronze, and over the years, the copper tree has been eroded to the point that it has become unlikely, but the gold leaf is almost as smooth as it appears, and even the superficial notches on the foil surface have been preserved intact.

What is engraved on the gold leaf is a structural drawing of an underground building.

To be honest, when I saw this picture, my heart trembled, and the hand holding the flashlight on Zuo Youdao was also a little unstable, so that the light falling on the gold leaf kept flickering.

Because judging from the drawings, it is likely that Xu Blind Man dug a huge tree trough in the ground.

The whole underground building is actually a hollowed-out tree of life and death, and its volume is so huge that it is completely beyond my imagination.

The river vein where Zuo Youdao and I are now located is marked on the map as the "top branch", which is a small branch at the top of the entire tree of life and death, and such a branch only occupies less than one-thousandth of the volume of the entire tree.

Zuo Youdao subconsciously turned the flashlight and shot the light towards the depths of the darkness, the terrible thing was that the light could not penetrate this deep darkness, even my ghost eyes, which could see all the scenes within a radius of five hundred meters in the dark, could not judge how long the river veins under our feet were.

Conservative estimates suggest that the river is at least a kilometer long, but it is only a part of the "top branch", which occupies less than a thousandth of the space in the entire crypt structure.

It is impossible to imagine how deep this crypt is, and how large the area covered by east, west, north and south.

But one thing is for sure, such a huge and complex crypt could never have been built by man.

Continuing to look down the drawings, you can see that Xu Blind Man has built a five-story darkroom in this crypt.

The first floor is labeled the "Grain Room" and is supposed to be a place to eat. The fourth floor is called the "Torture Chamber", which is easy to understand, but the names of the second and third floors are very strange.

The second floor is called the "Fox Chamber", and the third floor is called the "Earthquake Chamber".

Could it be that the blind man Xu once kept a fox in captivity on the second basement floor? What does an earthquake chamber mean?

In addition, judging from the structural diagram, the fifth floor of the Dan room was not completed, and Xu Blind didn't even have time to name this floor.

Below the fifth floor, there is a bottomless abyss, and Xu Blind even carved a pattern representing the flowing wind in the abyss.

The depth of the five-story darkroom is fifty or sixty meters, and the depth of the abyss is completely unimaginable.

Zuo Youdao said: "It is impossible to have such a deep hole, and the geological structure here cannot withstand such a big hole. ”

Indeed, the deepest known cave is only more than 12,000 meters, and the mechanical cave is very narrow, but the abyss depicted on the gold leaf is roughly estimated to be 20,000 meters deep.

A hole so large and so deep should not exist in common sense at all.

Zuo Youdao and I stared at this gold leaf for a long time, and finally decided to follow the path marked on the structure diagram to go deeper.

From the structural diagram, as long as the door follows the river, you can reach a terraced waterfall, go down the waterfall, turn onto a rocky beach, and then walk in the direction of the narrowing of the rocky beach, you can reach the entrance of the darkroom.

The river twists and turns, and the further down the river goes, the more open the river becomes, and at first the water becomes slower and slower, until the two of us wade through the water for about two kilometers, the water becomes a little more urgent, and the sound of falling water echoes in our ears.

In front of the river, there is indeed a terraced waterfall, and the stones at the bottom of the waterfall are stacked on top of each other, and at first glance it looks like a huge natural stone staircase.

Below the waterfall is a narrower channel, which has formed a deeper pool at its source due to the perennial flooding.

Beyond this waterhole, there is the rocky beach mentioned on the gold leaf.

The waterfall could not stop us, and we swam over the waterhole easily, and just as we climbed up the rocky beach one after the other, there was a thunderous explosion in the dark depths.

Syllable!

The sound of electric sparks hitting the metal plate again, only this time it was clearer, as if it were coming from the soles of our feet.

As soon as this voice appeared, I felt a shadow suddenly flash in front of my eyes, and when I looked closely, I saw an old man with a severely crooked back standing on the rocky beach, he put his hands behind his back, and turned his face to me and Zuo Youdao, and I noticed that there was a very thick scar on his eye socket.

The figure only appeared for a moment, and before Zuo Youdao and I could react, it disappeared again.

After the shadow disappeared, Zuo Youdao deliberately picked up the flashlight and swept it towards the position where it appeared just now.

"It's not a ghost." Zuo Youdao put down the flashlight and frowned.

As soon as he said this, I realized that now Zuo Youdao could sense the Qi field again, and I could indeed smell the stale smell of the damp soaking into the stone.

I don't know when I regained my sense of smell.

I said to Zuo Youdao: "If you can't figure out that there is a maze in this place, we may have seen an illusion." ”

Zuo Youdao shook his head: "It's not an illusion, if there is a formation here, I will definitely be able to perceive it." ”

If it weren't for the illusion, I really don't know how to explain the figure that just appeared.

This place should not stay for a long time, Zuo Youdao and I didn't want to stay longer, so we continued along the rocky beach.

As we progressed, the river widened and the rocky beach narrowed by the water, and the water near the rocky beach kept slowly shaking, as if something had been shaking slightly below the surface.

But we looked under the water, and there was nothing.

After walking at least five kilometers along the rocky beach, I finally saw what I had built in my left eye, a ruined temple standing on the river beach, built exactly like the buildings on the ground, and the damp had completely corrupted the oil on the temple walls, so that the whole temple looked dirty.

But the gold leaf doesn't say that there is a temple in this place, just that if you walk along the rocky beach, you can see the entrance to the darkroom.

Approaching the temple gate, I shrugged my nose and smelled a trace of the fragrance of the Ming Hongwu period in the rich smell of dampness.

The construction of this dark room under the city was started in the Chenghua period, but the construction time of the temple was about 100 years earlier.

Could it be that when the Ming Dynasty was just established, someone moved the soil here, or Xu Blind moved such a temple from the ground when he was building an underground darkroom?

From the outside, this temple seems to have nothing worth noting except for its old age, but the temple is almost empty, except for a stone well in front of the door.

Who will put the mouth of the well in the house? It's weird.

Ever since I saw the well, Zuo Youdao's face has become very ugly, and when I asked him what he said, he just said, "I'll tell you in detail when I go out." ”

The two of us went to the mouth of the well and looked at it, and saw that there was a long and narrow stone staircase with no end in sight under the well, and if we went down from here, we should be able to enter the darkroom.

Before preparing to go down the mine, Zuo Youdao reminded me: "There is a bloody corpse gas underground, be careful." ”

I couldn't sense any evil qi when I was standing at the mouth of the well, but since Zuo Youdao said so, I could only nod at him.

At first, I thought that the stone steps under the well were all the way down the slope, but after walking for a while, I found that this stone step was like being built on an underground mountain, and there were often ramps up or down, and the two sides of the stairs were not walls, but empty and resentful darkness, and we didn't know what was hidden in those darkness.

Because I have been walking on this extremely empty and complicated road for too long, my brain has gradually become empty, and my whole person seems to have become stupid.

I don't know how far we went, but the stone steps began to spiral downward, and we circled down for five or six meters, and finally entered a closed spiral tunnel, and the stone bricks used to build the walls looked familiar.

Zuo Youdao in front of him suddenly stopped, and when I saw his movements, I immediately stopped and asked, "Is there a situation?" ”

Zuo Youdao said: "Don't you think the evil spirit here is very familiar? ”

"I can't sense the evil aura yet."

"Do you remember that big stone pillar we saw in the Underground Rift?"

As soon as he said this, I remembered that when we were walking in the underground rift, we did find a hollow pillar full of evil spirit.

The bricks used to build the pillars and the bricks used to build this spiral tunnel are no different in terms of shape and size, as well as the atmosphere of age emanating from them.

We've walked around a long time and we're back under the water?

But if you think back to the map on the gold leaf, we should be far away from swimming by now.
