We immediately ran up and looked down. The hole is not big, and only two people are allowed to go down side by side. But it's quite deep, about two or three meters, at least the bottom is invisible to the naked eye.

I put my ear to the ground and listened carefully to the movement inside, the sound of people moving and talking, and there was no doubt that they were inside.

I immediately said to the desertion: "Desertion, let's go down and take a look." ”

Kai Xiaoxiao nodded. Tang Yiyi and Jing Jing also have to go down, I said that this is not appropriate, in case it is discovered, we want to escape, so many people may not be able to escape. Tang Yiyi didn't agree, so I had to take them down, let them follow closely behind, and keep a certain distance from us, so that it would be easier to escape.

These people are so hidden, there must be some ulterior secrets.

Climbing down the hole, I found that after going down two meters, the hole expanded to the left and right, and I took a look, and there were crawling footprints on both sides, and it seemed that their people were divided into two groups.

I considered whether to split into two groups, but finally rejected the idea. Our team is too weak in combat, and in this small space, fighting skills are useless, only weapons are king.

We crawled to the left, and in a moment we found this artificially dug passage leading into an old hole below.

The hole is elongated and narrow, like a miniature version of Beijing's hutongs, allowing only two people to walk side by side, and about one person taller. There is not much oxygen underneath, and it is difficult to walk.

Jing Jing immediately squatted down, took a piece of soil from the cave and observed it carefully, and then said to me: "This cave has been stored for at least a few hundred years. ”

"Hundreds of years of earth caves? Who would dig such a hole in the earth underneath? ”

Quietly said: "I don't look like I dug it up, but I really think it was made out of something." ”

"What do you mean?" Desert asked.

Quiet hesitated for a moment and said, "If it was dug out by the instrument, it would definitely not be so flat." Although this hole is pitted, there is no sign of moving equipment, it is all the pressure of the surrounding soil, which is uneven. It's like a footprint stepped on by a person, or a mark pressed by the wheel of a car. ”

"Where can I find such a big car?" Tang Yiyi said.

Quietly, I'm a metaphor.

We thought about it for a long time, but we didn't understand how these ancient holes were made, so we simply stopped bothering and continued to move on.

In order to avoid being discovered by their people, we did not turn on the flashlight, so we ∵walked forward in the dark for a while, and suddenly my hand was rubbed on a cold mass, and I immediately stopped, and deserted and crashed into me.

"What's wrong?" Desert asked.

I whispered, "I touched something." Desert and turn on the light switch. ”

I immediately turned on the flashlight and shone it on me. I tried my best to block the light with my body, scolding the desertion and shining on the dirt wall.

Desert immediately shines light on the wall.

I saw a chain of iron coming out of the dirt. The chains were thick, about the thickness of my thighs, rotting and rusty. And it's a bit deformed. I pulled harder, but it didn't work, and I even grabbed the chain, which felt quite difficult.

The ends of the chain were all sunk into the dirt, and I didn't know how long it was or where it was going. I checked it carefully, and found that the iron chain had obvious signs of being smashed by something, and the rust fell off where it was smashed, revealing the original face of the iron chain.

The symbol, which seemed to be two very small Chinese characters, was a bit like traditional Chinese characters, and I looked at it carefully and said that it seemed to be the two characters "Daozu".

I wasn't sure, so I hurriedly asked Jing Jing to confirm it again, and confirmed that it was indeed the word "Dao Ancestor".

"What does Dao Ancestor mean?" I wondered.

The desert said: "Dao Ancestor, that is, the Taoist ancestor, Taishang Laojun." ”

"In other words, this iron chain belongs to Taishang Laojun?" I looked at the desert with a stern expression.

I also felt that this statement was a bit absurd, so I smiled helplessly and said with a wry smile, where do I know where to go? I can't bring the old man here, so let you ask.

"Where do you think this chain is extended?" I whispered.

"To the immortal mansion of Taishang Laojun?" Deserted and said weakly: "But it shouldn't be, why did Taishang Laojun get such a thick iron chain in the world?" ”

I said yes, let's not touch this chain yet, I always think this chain is a bit evil.

The crowd nodded.

I deserted and turned off the flashlight, and we continued on∵ and not long after, I touched the chain again. I had a vague feeling that we should be very close to the gang, so I didn't let the desert turn on the flashlight to observe.

The further back they went, the more often the chains extended out of the soil on the side walls, so much so that eventually, the chains were all exposed, spreading all the way forward.

It didn't take long for me to feel my hand touch something dry and unusual. Immediately stop again and get out of the way to turn on the lights to check.

As soon as the lights were turned on, I couldn't help but gasp, I never expected that standing in front of us was a skeleton, the skeleton was standing like that, its head drooping, and its empty eyes were as if it were looking at us, and I felt furious in my heart.

And the iron chain, which passed through the middle of the skeleton's ribs, cut the spine in two, and the skeleton had been completely stitched together with the rust on the iron chain, as if it had been sewn together with the iron chain.

"I see." Desert said a little nervously: "Could it be...... This chain is actually a punishment tool, passing people through the iron chain one by one, and giving it to a skewer. ”

I shook my head, not like that. Tang Yiyi also felt impossible, and asked why he thought so, Tang Yiyi gave him a blank look, saying that there was no cumin on the skeleton.

"That's a sacrificial object." Deserted and said: "Or maybe Taishang Laojun wants to use iron chains for alchemy." ”

I looked quiet: "Can you determine the age of the bones?" ”

Quiet was a little embarrassed: "Let's both confirm it, without tools, it is difficult to confirm the specific year." ”

I nodded, and took a closer look. The bones are crisp, and some of them are petrified, and I don't think it's possible to become like this in a few hundred years.

Quiet also knows it in my heart, I must have said it for hundreds of years, and Quiet said that I think so too.

"Could it be Lu Ban's little apprentice who didn't become an immortal?" Deserted and said: "The other brothers have become gods and immortals, and he is still in the world, and he committed suicide when he couldn't think about it for a while." ”

I shook my head, not going to work on the skeleton any longer, and kept walking.

As we walked on, the contents of this narrow cave were becoming more and more complex, with willow roots, skeletons, and even a carpenter's saw blade. And many places have already collapsed, but fortunately, the other party has already re-excavated the collapsed place. However, the space is very small, and you can only crawl through it little by little.

This was not conducive to our escape, so we slowed down a lot and became more cautious.

It wasn't long before I noticed a bright light coming from the front of the cave, and I could faintly hear the sound of talking. Needless to say, it must be those guys.

I was surprised to catch up with them so quickly.

The iron chain was next to it, and I whispered a warning to them not to touch the iron chain on the side, so as not to be discovered by the other party.

The lights stopped in place for a moment, and then continued on their way. When we couldn't see the light at all, we hurried up.

They just squatted in place, did they find something strange, so they squatted down and studied it carefully? When we ran over, we noticed something unusual.

Four white things as thick as a human body came out of the earthen wall and burrowed into the earthen wall on the other side. And the two stout things on the top are diagonally down, and the two stout things below and the wall form a triangle. There is an extremely narrow gap in the middle.
