Chapter 179: Spirit Hunting Village—The Secret Under the Village
"Which one?" Wu Kong asked. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
I shook my head, it was incredible, so I said excitedly, "Last time there was only one road here, how could there be a fork!" ”
"Have you looked away, after all, it's so dark here, and the road is very tortuous, it's normal to accidentally see the wrong one."
I thought it made sense, because one of the roads was a bit secret, and it happened to be between two stones, and if the light of the flashlight did not hit this place, it would not be visible.
I pointed straight ahead and said to Wu Kong, "This should be the last way I walked." ”
Wu Kong hesitated for a moment, then turned to another way and said, "Let's go there and have a look." ”
"Huh? Why? Don't you believe me? I wondered.
"It's not that you don't believe it, but you use your brain to think about it, why didn't you dig such a tunnel halfway through, but instead opened another way in a hidden crack in the stone? There are two possibilities, one is that the construction of this road has encountered a bottleneck and has to find another way, and the other is to hide the real passage. As he spoke, Wu Kong pointed to the more secret slit.
I pondered it carefully, and what he said did have some truth, and before I could speak, Wu Kong continued: "In either case, there must be some secret hidden at the end of this path, at least it must be something that is unsightly. ”
Speaking of which, I suddenly became a little scared, could it be that it is some green-headed sticks again? But then I thought that something was wrong, and asked Wu Kongdao: "No, the purpose of this road before was to let me re-enter the cycle and return to the original point, so according to what you said, the excavator didn't have this meaning at all?" ”
Wu Kong nodded and said, "That's right, the loop can be jumped out, and it is very likely that you hit it by mistake and returned to the tunnel." ”
I suddenly felt a little creepy, and after a long time, I almost died here? If it weren't for the coincidence, I wouldn't have discovered this secret passage, and I would never have been able to get out! But this can't explain the fire, after I fell into the bottom of the well, the fire still came as promised, which is not in line with the development of the plot.
Wu Kong leaned over, patted me on the shoulder, and said, "Don't think about it, let's go first and take a look, maybe we can find something." ”
I pulled myself together, didn't bother with the so-called circular plots, lowered my head and turned sideways and squeezed into the dark passage.
The width of the slit is not large, and I can barely pass through it if I turn sideways, but to my surprise, the walls of the cave around this place are very smooth, as if they have been artificially polished, so it is not difficult to walk, which also makes me more sure of what Wu Kong said - there must be something hidden at the end of the passage.
After slowly walking deeper for about three minutes, the width of the cave wall suddenly became much larger, and the eyes suddenly became clearer!
The first thing you see is a winding corridor, flanked by stone carvings, all of which are abominable ghosts and demons.
After this corridor, there is a stone door, the passage behind the stone door extends in two directions, one is a section of iron steps that rotate down, look down along the gap between them, the bottom is not visible, at least a dozen stories high; The other is an iron bridge suspended from the cliff, and the piers are so strong that they are nailed to the ground.
Underneath the bridge is a dark abyss that will kill you if you fall, and at the other end there is an iron door that is locked and has a large combination lock on it.
Wu Kong and I stood still and didn't speak, looking at the scene in front of us as if we were dreaming, and we couldn't imagine that there was a hole at the bottom of the small well.
"So what's going on now?" I poked Wu Kong and asked in a low voice, "There must be something behind this door, and there is actually a combination lock, such a high-tech appearance here is not coordinated at all!" ”
Wu Kong's eyes rolled a few times, ignored me, and walked straight to the bridge, I was a little helpless, and followed very carefully.
Below us is the cliff, and at the bottom of us is the iron staircase that spirals down, and there are wall lamps at intervals above the steps, and the dim light illuminates an area, although not very bright, but enough to give us a good view.
We turned off the flashlight and cautiously approached the door, which seemed to be pushed and pulled horizontally, so tightly fitting and very strong, that we couldn't see the situation inside, and a large combination lock was placed horizontally in the center, like the mouth of the whole door.
Wu Kong slammed on the door for a while, there was no movement at all, we were a little helpless, it seems that we can only enter by entering the correct password, and we can't try casually, because such security measures will definitely have an alarm device, in case it is triggered, our situation is quite dangerous.
The most important thing is that the atmosphere here is very strange, I always feel that this place is not as simple as we thought, and I have a vague premonition that there must be an amazing secret hidden behind the door!
Time does not allow us to delay too much, I asked Wu Kong if he wanted to rescue Yang Tianxia first, and then come here to investigate, but Wu Kong shook his head and said to me: "There is only one chance, if we leave now, it may not be long before someone is found to have come, in that case, wouldn't it be a surprise?" We'll never know the secrets here! ”
"That'...... So what about Yang Tianxia? ”
"Don't worry, the iron head is very hard, and a few ants can't deal with him." Wu Kong said lightly.
Hearing this, I felt a little comforted in my heart, and I didn't know why I cared about Yang Tianxia, maybe I was afraid that Wu Kong would really kill me, or maybe I thought this place was too weird and wanted to find an excuse to escape as soon as possible, no matter what, I had no choice but to follow Wu Kong to find out.
We turned back from the bridge to the spiral staircase, which was built next to the cliff wall, with a thick column in the middle, which served as a constraint and support, and a small wall lamp was installed on the stone wall of the lower floor, and the dim light illuminated the entire staircase, creating an air of mystery.
Walking down the steps, nothing changed along the way, watching the bridge above me get farther and farther away from us, my heartbeat continued to intensify, this fear of the unknown was enough to make people confused, and the inner torment slowly swallowed me bit by bit, accompanied by the "thump" sound of the iron sheet, tormenting me all the time.
"Tap while walking!" Wu Kong warned me in a whisper.
As soon as the words fell, a heavy footstep sounded, not from our footsteps, but from the bottom of the steps, one or two...... The sound grew louder and louder, like a bell, constantly beating on our eardrums.
We immediately became alert, and we didn't even dare to get out of the atmosphere, could we have been discovered? So what now?
