Chapter 66: The Veil of the Inner City

I thought that after the small door, it should be the inner market.

But what I expected was completely wrong.

It turned out that behind the small door was an inverted "gong" shaped crack.

The two ends are a little wider, similar to two small halls, and in the middle is a narrow aisle that only allows two people to pass through the guò.

The two walls, one of which was naturally the rough feldspar wall, and the other I didn't expect to be the same wall, but compared to the rough stone wall, this wall seemed much finer, at least it was smoothed with smear, and a layer of red paint was applied to it.

Red paint? Wrong!

I stretched out my hand and wiped it, and it turned out to be a layer of cinnabar, on which there were lines of patterns depicted with an unknown white object.

These two walls are like a fortification! That's just the only thought left by my glimpse.

The white-robed man did not give up the pursuit, and I was still in a hurry to find the two small halls at the end of the passage to the inner city, apparently not, because the benches attached to the wall there were full of people.

Everyone was silent, as if waiting for something.

And in the middle of the two small halls, there is a slightly protruding thing that resembles a small fortress, and the whole scene is clear in the crack, so to enter the real inner city, you have to pass through the small fortress of guò.

I thought so and rushed over there.

I really don't know when the white-robed man will suddenly appear in this passage!

As I ran, I pulled out a white pill and stuffed it into my mouth, and the two people waiting in the small hall reminded me of the fact that I had almost forgotten about it, and that I had to get rid of the human smell when I entered the inner market.

They are waiting, and it should be a certain way to eliminate the human smell, right?

In comparison, the medicine of the beast elder is simply a great advantage for me.

In the entrance of the pill, there was a strange smell of sourness and wetness, just like the taste of old earth and stone being dug up, and at the same time, it was melting at an extremely slow, slow speed.

I don't need to be reminded of this kind of thing, and I also know that when this pill is completely dissolved, that is, when the effect of the medicine is about to be lost, I will not be able to stay in the inner market.

At this point, I had finally stormed into the little fortress.

After entering, I found that the small fortress was similar to the gate post in the world, and there was a white-robed man with a strange snake coiled on his shoulder, sitting here, with a table in front of him, with a basic thread-bound book, and a book in his hand reading.

A cup of tea in front of you is also free.

He didn't react much to my entry, after all, the people who can enter here are probably already carefully verified tokens.

He raised his eyes: "The smell of people on your body is gone?" Otherwise, don't blame me for not warning you. ”

"Well, I'm going into the inner market." By this time, I had already noticed that on the other wall of this small fortress there was a gate that shimmered with metal, and a window with black curtains drawn.

When I answered this, he was silent.

Just a shake of his shoulder, the strange snake on his shoulder suddenly woke up from his shoulder, stuck out his tongue, and immediately discovered my deposit.

"Go." The white-robed man didn't have any expression, just gave a faint order, and the strange snake slipped down his shoulder like a psychic, and then crawled to my feet, climbed up my body along my legs, and circled.

I was nervous and strange in my heart, could it be that this snow-capped mountain is a sect that mainly controls beasts?

Let's not talk about the person with the ghost monkey on his back, what kind of person is this person who carries the strange snake? But when I think back to the person I met in the fake ghost market when I was a teenager, I can't figure out if there is a connection between them? It is said that as a disciple of the Snow Mountain lineage, there is no need to participate in any fake ghost market.

Just a thought, the strange snake had crawled back on the white-robed man's body, and was lazily entrenched again.

"Well, it's so clean." The white-robed man said a rare word, and then finally put down the book in his hand and stood up, while his other hand was already holding a key at some point.

He walked around the table, passed me, and then stopped at a cabinet next to the table, and then pulled out the key and unlocked it unhurriedly

I was anxious to see this series of processes, and I estimated in my heart that according to the speed of the white-robed man, he should have caught up a long time ago, but he hasn't come yet, it's already a fluke, why is the person in front of him still so slow?

I was not able to urge, and at this time, he finally opened the cabinet in front of him.

In fact, where is the cabinet, it is clearly a cabinet like a box, open it, inside is an iron mechanism with two handles, it looks like an excavator to control the lifting of the control console, could it be that this white-robed man graduated from Shandong Lanxiang?

I was thinking that the white-robed man had turned around and opened the iron door with another key.

Then he turned to me and said, "The time for construction here is limited, and the institutions are not perfect. So, after you go down, you have to go through 5 minutes of adjustment, bad luck, and you have to wait for the oil, then it will take an hour before this iron cage can continue to go up. This inner market is full of dangers, don't underestimate these 5 minutes, it may also cost you your life. So, do you still want to go? ”

At this time, the sound of 'dong dong' footsteps was already sounding in the corridor outside.

Where did I still have the heart to listen to this white-robed man's ramblings, I had already jumped into the iron cage very consciously, closed the fence of the iron cage with a bang, and said, "Come on, I know everything, I want to go down." ”

The white-robed man didn't speak, but walked up to the lifter, grabbed one of the handles, and pushed it down heavily.

The cage finally began to shakily and fall.

I subconsciously looked up, only to realize that the stone wall was built on a protruding cliff line, and this iron cage was slowly lowering me under the cliff.

Although the speed was slow, in the blink of an eye, there was a distance of one or two meters, and I heard the white-robed man muttering strangely, "It's rare to go down alone at such a young age." ”

Before I could say anything, there was a heavy knock on the door, and I didn't have to guess to know who was chasing after me.

Sure enough, the next moment, I heard an almost scream: "Don't let him go." ”

But according to the strange snake white-robed man, after going down, he can't go up for the time being, and even after going down completely, he has to wait at least 5 minutes before he can pull people up.

I'm very at ease, and at the moment under the cliff, the wind has already come out, and there is any movement on it, anyway, it is blurred, so I don't bother to care anymore.

Instead, I breathed a sigh of relief, sat down in an iron cage, and let the wind blow on the cliff to blow my body, drying the sweat that had flowed from the panic that had been running away all the way.

This state actually gave me a sense of comfort.

Only then did I calm down and look down in the distance, and I found that there was a huge canyon below! Steep cliffs on all sides support the soil layer above, maybe not the soil layer, but the kind of hard rock layer?

I don't know how this underground canyon was formed, but I can only say that nature is magical and unimaginable.

There are underground karst caves, and it is normal for underground canyons to be stored in zài!

As the iron cage slowly descended, I could see the situation more and more clearly, and when the faint dim yellow light became clearer and clearer, I was already shocked to stand up from the iron cage!

I choked up and swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva because I couldn't tell if the qiē in front of me was magnificent or great!

But both of these words obviously seem inappropriate, just because it is also a frozen sadness.

There is no doubt that the inner city is in the middle of the canyon that connects the two surrounding cliffs, and from a certain place, it looks like a huge crack!

It's just that the crack above is narrow, and the crack below is wide, and this crack is still going down, and the canyon that is not far into the end is divided in two by this crack, and it looks like it is hanging in the air, because the edges of both sides are cracks that continue to go down.

On the other side of a small part of it, there is an underground dark river, and at a steep leakage, the river comes to an end, forming a rare wonder for the ages, the underground waterfall, extraordinarily magnificent! I was in the iron cage, and at that moment I heard the sound of falling into the water.

But this small part, except for the underground river and waterfall that reflected the dim light, the rest were dark and gloomy, and there was nothing to be seen.

And the other part is what really shocked me! The dim light also came from there, and it became one!

It was a faint line of the city wall, and the outline of the building was so huge that I couldn't even see the end of the figure for a while.

All of them show that it is an ancient city, an ancient city that has been buried underground!
