I only felt my body fall for a distance, and then I stepped on something soft, lost my balance for a moment, and fell crooked. Originally, it wasn't a big deal, Wang Jianguo fell a few milliseconds later than me, and it just happened to fall on me, which made me gasp, and opened my mouth wide for a long time before I regained my breath.

As soon as we landed, we heard a "bang", and the exit above our heads immediately closed, and the surroundings became pitch black. Reaching out and touching it, the soft things under him were rough, like ropes and other things piled up.

I pushed Wang Jianguo and asked, "Why haven't you heard you mention that Mr. Tian's family still has this kind of mechanism?" ”

His voice was full of helplessness: "I really haven't been here yet." ”

"Are there lighters, matches, or anything like that?"

"Nope!"

That's when I started to hate myself for not smoking: "Alright, let's see if there's a switch or something like that that opens the little door above my head." ”

We didn't dare to move, so we tried to feel around and knock on the limited space around us, but we didn't find any obvious handles or buttons. But you can feel that there are walls on three sides near us, and only one is empty.

After a while, the eyes seemed to slowly adjust to the environment, this place seemed to be the end of a corridor, and the situation around me could still be roughly seen, but the other side of the corridor was completely hidden in darkness, as black as ink.

"Boss Yong, what should I do? Go ahead or call for help? Wang Jianguo asked.

"Let's go in and have a look." I said without hesitation. I don't know why I had a gut feeling that there must be the answer I was looking for.

I picked up the rope on the ground, picked out one end and tied it around my waist, and handed all the others to Wang Jianguo, and told him: "I will go forward now, I don't know if there are other mechanisms, you take the rope well, if there is a problem, I will call you, and you will drag me back." ”

Wang Jianguo took the rope with an "um". I leaned against the wall and started moving slowly. The tentacles were covered with a layer of slippery mossy brick walls, and the dark and damp smell was getting stronger and stronger, I don't know if it was due to the lack of oxygen or the nervousness of the unknown, but before I had gone far, I was already breathing faster and sweating from my forehead.

As soon as I felt the string in my heart stretched to the limit, another wall suddenly appeared in front of me, I didn't expect it, I hit the wall headlong, and I screamed "ouch", only to feel that my eyes were full of stars.

Wang Jianguo, who was not far from the rear, could no longer see me, and when he heard my screams, he couldn't hold his breath. I only felt a tightness on my waist, and I dared to love him for pulling me back!

"Stop, you! Ouch...... I just hit my head...... "I quickly clung to the wall so that he didn't drag me away."

"Ah, Boss Yong, are you alright?" Wang Jianguo asked eagerly.

"If you don't pull the rope, I'll be fine!" I said angrily. Rubbing his head, he turned back and touched the wall. When you look closely, you realize that it's not a wall, it's a door! It seems to be made of extremely thick wood, hard and cold, no softer than a stone wall.

Then I felt a handle almost at the waist position, clenched it and pulled it hard, and the heavy wooden door actually opened in my hand, and a piece of light shot out from it in an instant, so that I couldn't open my eyes.

I covered my face with my hands, squinted and tried to look, and it took me a while to see that inside the door was a small room, with the lights on, but there was no one.

I thought there would be some weird hole, but it turned out to be such a small broken house! I seem to understand all of a sudden, these eight achievements are Tian Ge's underground air-raid shelters, civil air defense projects, many old houses have this kind of setting.

I turned around and beckoned to Wang Jianguo to say that it was safe, and he hurriedly ran over, and was stunned when he saw this small room.

The room is not large, and the furnishings are very simple, with a desk in the corner and a tall bookcase next to the desk. I walked over and looked at the desk first, there was nothing on the table, the three drawers were locked, and I looked back at the bookcase casually, but I was a little surprised.

I thought that there would be some books on physics and medicine like the bookshelf in Mr. Tian's study, but I saw that there were no books in it, only a few pieces of paper that looked very old on the front floor, and the rest seemed to be empty. I was about to open the door of the bookcase to look at the few pieces of paper, but I heard Wang Jianguo scream "ah" in the back!

This scream made my hair stand on end, and my heart almost jumped out, and I just turned around to warn him not to be a brother after such a fuss, but I was also stunned when I saw what he was staring at, and my heart was beating wildly.

This wall is on the side of the door we came into, and I didn't see it when I first came in, and I guess Wang Jianguo also inadvertently turned around to see it.

A huge figure was painted on the wall, not so much a human figure as a combination of man and some kind of beast. Except for a large face that looked like a human, the body was as slender as a dragon, with claws and a tail, and the whole body was crimson like blood. The background behind him depicts a scene like the rising sun, and it is also dominated by red tones, and the red color is very visually impactful, and at first glance, it is shocking!

The strangest thing was that the orc also had a hand, uh, a claw, holding a little incense burner.

Of the whole picture, only this one looked a little strange, and I settled down and walked over to take a closer look, and it turned out that there was only a hole carved out of the wall, and the small incense burner was embedded in the wall. The small incense burner looks old, like it is made of bronze, but it does not glow green like ordinary bronze, but it is dark red like a thin layer of paint. There are shallow patterns engraved on the surface, and it is impossible to tell whether it is a word or a painting.

I couldn't resist reaching out to see if I could take it down and take a closer look.

Wang Jianguo grabbed me behind me: "Boss Yong, this thing looks so weird, I don't know if it's a new mechanism, so don't touch it!" ”

It makes sense for me to think about it, and I was about to withdraw my hand, when suddenly it felt like a gust of wind blew through my hand, as if I was suddenly tied by an invisible rope. Then I felt a wave of dizziness, and my mind flashed like a movie, and a series of images flashed in an instant.

There are many and chaotic images, but in the end, there are three scenes that remain in my mind.

The first scene is a vague figure, but I can feel that it is a woman, looking at me very closely, and then I feel a drop of water falling on my face, this hot touch, not like water......

The second scene was like I was standing in a hall, with a lot of thick pillars next to it, fire, fire everywhere, smoke billowing out, choking people couldn't breathe......

In the third scene, I saw a vast grassland, I seemed to be standing on a high place, the breeze was blowing slowly on my face, as if someone behind me had put his hand on my shoulder, and it felt so heavy......

Although it seemed to be just a fleeting thought, it was so real that I was immersed in it and couldn't let go of it for a long time. It wasn't until I felt Wang Jianguo shaking me vigorously while calling me that I came back to my senses.

"What's going on?" I was a little unconscious.

"As soon as I said I wouldn't let you touch it, you seemed to lose consciousness, staring at the wall with wide eyes, and talking to yourself, telling you not to answer, what the hell is going on?" Wang Jianguo's eager expression showed how bizarre my performance was at that time.

"Talking to yourself? What did I say? "I don't feel like I'm talking.

"I can't hear it clearly, it's like a long string of incantations. Hey, why are you crying? ”

When I touched my face, it was damp, as if tears had just flowed down. But this feeling in my heart, how to describe it, is not sadness, but more like a relief, a kind of letting go after a lot of flavors......

I took another look at the little incense burner, and I couldn't help but feel great awe. The mural on this whole wall looks gorgeous, but in front of the aura displayed by this small thing, it is completely just a foil, more like a pious altar for it.

When Wang Jianguo saw my serious expression, he also seemed to realize the special features of the incense burner, and he wanted to reach out to touch it, but I grabbed him.

"There's something mysterious about this thing, so it's better not to touch it until I investigate it." I say.

He saw that I was finally back to normal, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, but what happened to you just now?" ”

I opened my mouth, feeling a thousand things, and I couldn't help but be a little too lazy to answer him, and turned to walk towards the bookcase just now. Wang Jianguo hurriedly walked over with me, looking at his expression, as if he was afraid that I would lose my soul again.

Walking up to the bookcase, I pulled the door, and it was so good it wasn't locked.

When I took out the piece of paper I had seen earlier, I was disappointed. Although there are a lot of things written densely on it, they are not ordinary Chinese characters, and I am only a shallow learner, so I really don't recognize any of them!

On just the middle page, an illustration caught my eye, this one was not the little incense burner on the wall, but there was no painting as a background. There are three things with the same words under the picture.,I don't know either.,It's probably not the name of the incense burner.。

Suddenly, I noticed that the paper itself didn't seem to be quite right, and I twisted it with my hand, it didn't look like paper, and I put it next to my nose and smelled it, it was obviously made of medicinal materials, and there was a faint fishy smell in addition to the smell of medicine. Although the smell information is quite weak, it definitely can't fool my nose that has been identifying medicinal herbs for many years.

A thought immediately flashed through my head: this is ...... Human skin?

looked sideways at Wang Jianguo, who was stretching his neck to look at this thing, and thought that it was better not to make a noise. This kid is like a frightened bird right now, and I can't bear it anymore.

"I don't understand, it's useless." I tossed the materials back into the bookcase. Look around to see if there is anything else that ignorant young people like us can read and learn from.

But there were so many things in the room that there was really nothing to see, and at last I had to start thinking about the drawers, and stoop down to see if it was possible to pick the locks open. Seeing this, Wang Jianguo also hurriedly ran over to help me knock and pull together.

The two of them were having a lot of fun when they suddenly heard someone call my name: "Tao Yong!" ”

"Wait a minute, I'm busy!" I replied angrily.

I felt that it was wrong, and when I looked back, there was another small door not far away, and the person who walked in was none other than Mr. Tian, the owner of this house!
