Chapter 9: Visions

Earthquake?

That's the first judgment that comes to mind.

But then I realized that it was not like that, because through a broken partition window, I could see the trees and flowers outside the window, calm as usual, and there was no movement.

Is this building going to collapse? Or is there some terrifying mechanism that we have inadvertently touched? …… No matter what, I can't delay any longer, I thought to myself, shouted at Xiao Rong, put the note in my pocket, and raised my foot to prepare to escape, but at this time, the vibration under my feet began to slowly weaken. Gradually, the deafening sound subsided.

I looked around in disbelief. I thought, no? With my "unlucky" physique, after making such a loud noise, nothing strange happened, and this is the first time.

I couldn't help but feel amazing, and when I turned around, I suddenly wanted to have a few words of laughter with Xiao Rong, but I saw the kid standing in the middle of the main hall, staring down at a stone brick on the floor, with a deep expression on his face.

I thought it was strange that there was something wrong with his face, "What's wrong?" I asked casually.

Xiao Rong didn't react, still staring blankly at the floor. Looking at his appearance, I immediately felt something strange, so I hurriedly ran to him.

I saw Xiao Rong look at me, didn't say anything, and silently pointed to the fingerboard.

I'm most afraid of people playing dumb riddles with me in my life. Is there anything you can't say clearly? But thinking about it again, Xiao Rong's child is this kind of depressed character. I had no choice but to suppress the depression in my heart and look in the direction of his finger......

Countless dust falling from the floor slab wafted in the air, and it felt like a veil over the eyes.

At this time, I looked down at the floor tile, and saw that in the dust, there was a ray of light shooting out of the gap in the floor tile, forming a pillar of light in the fine particles.

This pillar of light is not bright, although it can still be seen clearly, but assuming that there is no fog, this pillar of light will never be visible when the light in the room is bright.

What the hell is this?

I furrowed my brows in confusion, and my heart said that it was really strange! How did the ancients know how to use the principles of optics to create such a scene? But then I immediately realized that something was wrong!

I reached out and shook it on the pillar of light, and saw that it was not like the light of a candle or an oil lamp, but it was more stable, and the light was whitish, and it felt more like ......

Flashlight?

I was taken aback, how could there be a flashlight light under the floor?

"Could it be Dadong!" In an instant, the mind crossed countless possibilities. I looked up at Xiao Rong and exclaimed, "Dadong, are they underground?" ”

"Possibly." Xiao Rong nodded.

It occurred to me that note in my pocket. If the note was indeed written by my mother, then Dadong is likely to be in a difficult situation right now.

"So what are you waiting for?" I shouted, "Look for it!" They don't get a flashlight here for no reason, if they are underneath, there must be a way down here! ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Rong took action. I saw that he was very clever and first looked for it along the four corners of the main hall.

I said in my heart, shit, what about playing spy wars? A group of people actually gave me such a covert signal, and they could think of it! If it weren't for the earthquake just now, which shook down so much dust, with this kind of bright light, we probably wouldn't have found it even if we cut our scalps!

I'm not sure what the entrance to the bottom of the Great Eastern will look like, maybe it's a secret door, or maybe it's a mechanism. Anyway, it's always a good idea to start with the floor. Don't hesitate and act now.

There was a lot of dust on the ground, so I lowered my body and looked for a floor tile, and after a while, I felt my neck ache.

The ground was full of messy footprints, and some gray fluff that looked like acacia flowers, I don't know what the hell it was, and I didn't care. I looked for a while with my head stuffy, and my vision was suddenly blocked by something, and when I looked up, I came to a screen.

I saw that this screen was a six-leaf folding screen, with yarn as a partition, and the yarn depicted a plum blossom blooming in the snow.

Behind the screen is a dead corner of the wall, I simply went around to the past, and when I looked at it, my heart was suddenly ecstatic! I saw that on the floor behind this screen, there was a square wooden plank, and the wooden board was inlaid with a metal pull ring, like a secret door.

I leaned down and grabbed the ring to open the wooden door, and with the screeching of the wooden plank, I saw a black stone staircase appear beneath the wooden plank.

The inside of the staircase was pitch black, and visibility was only one metre at most. I immediately turned around and shouted at Xiao Rong, and he rushed over and looked at the wooden door, and there was a hint of hesitation on his face.

I looked at him, worried that he had seen something, so I cautiously asked, "How's it going?" Can we go down? ”

Xiao Rong didn't answer, he stopped for a long time before saying "You wait a while", then took out a flashlight, lay on the ground, leaned over to the entrance and looked inside.

I crouched beside him and watched his movements, and as the minutes passed, I was anxious to ask him if he had seen anything, but before I could speak, I saw him shrink back again.

"They're down there!" Xiao Rong patted the ash on his shirt and said.

"Great!" I was overjoyed, and said that the emperor lived up to his heart, and finally touched the right door!

"They're not dangerous, are they?" I asked.

Xiao Rong shook his head. I don't know if he was trying to say there was no danger or if he wanted to say he didn't know. But none of that matters.

"Let's go, let's go down!" I took the flashlight handed by Xiao Rong, and was about to walk down the stone steps with my feet, when Xiao Rong suddenly grabbed me.

When I turned around, I saw a very strange expression on Xiao Rong's face. I had never seen it on his face before. It's like anxiety, it's like confusion.

Although, in the past, when encountering traps, Xiao Rong would occasionally show a hesitant look, but that look was completely different from now.

"What's wrong with you?" I asked.

"Brother Yang......" Xiao Rong replied hesitantly, as if it was difficult to speak, "Why do I think I seem to have been here before?" ”

Hearing this, I froze, and I didn't know how to answer for a while......
