Chapter 82: The Light-Absorbing Cave
We agreed, and immediately took the folding shovel out of our backpack and started digging.
Due to the lesson of the last time, we are quite cautious this time, and every time we dig it, we must carefully observe whether anything abnormal happens.
Soon, we dug more than half a meter deep in the corner of the iron plate, and the bottom was exposed.
Hu Sanyi frowned and muttered, "Such a big piece? ”
Indeed, this can no longer be regarded as an iron plate, it should be called an iron block, and it is estimated that the weight is much heavier than the stone just now.
We dug down a few more shovels and found a brick wall made of oversized green bricks underneath the iron. I don't know what adhesive to use for the brick wall, which is more solid than cement, and it took us a long time to deduct a few pieces. At this moment, a dark hole was exposed, and a cool breeze blew directly through the door, making my whole body shiver, but there was no smell in the wind, indicating that the air below should be quite good.
Hu San raised the flashlight and shone it into the hole, but it was like a black hole in the universe, swallowing all the flashlight and seeing nothing.
Hu San's face was ugly, and he was surprised: "How can this absorb light?" ”
"Whatever, lift the lid first!" At this moment my impulse came up again, and I stepped on the brick wall on one side, and tried to move the iron, but there was a grinding sound, and the iron loosened a little. In my opinion, it will take some effort to move him, but it is not impossible. I asked Hu San to dodge the side, ready to lift the iron block.
Hu San didn't speak, and watched quietly from the side.
I stood on the brick wall and calmed down, and put my palms on the dantian to get angry. After a while, I felt that my whole body began to heat up slowly, and the true qi flowed rapidly in my body, and my palms, which were originally stretched out, unconsciously clenched my fists, and the knuckles of my fingers clicked.
After about a minute, it felt pretty much the same. My cat bent down and buckled the bottom of the iron block in the hole, and fought upward, accompanied by an unpleasant sound of the iron block rubbing against the brick wall, and this piece of iron, which weighed thousands of pounds, was slowly lifted up by me.
Hu San was already stunned when he watched from the side, probably because he didn't expect my strength to be so great.
Soon, the iron was firmly pressed to my side, and at this moment, the cool air blowing from the hole made me shiver.
I stood there and took a few deep breaths, although moving this piece of iron would not exhaust me, but it also took a lot of physical strength, and I had to rest for a while.
At this time, Hu San picked up the flashlight and shone it into the cave again, this time it was better than just now, although the visibility was only more than one meter, but at least he could see some of the situation at the entrance of the cave.
I saw that under the flashlight was a step, also made of that kind of extra-large blue brick, each step was nearly half a meter high, extending downward, and the flashlight only shone two or three steps before it was swallowed up by the darkness inside.
Hu San said that his flashlight was a high-end product bought at a great price, and it effectively illuminated a range of nearly four or five hundred meters, but at this time it only illuminated less than two meters, and this kind of strange thing was the first time I had encountered it.
Hu San kept shining in, staring at the entrance of the cave without blinking, I knew that his sense of sight and hearing was much better than that of ordinary people, maybe he might have found something.
Halfway through, Hu San slowly raised his head, rolled his eyes, and said, "There seems to be a voice inside!" ”
"Huh? What was that? ”
"I can't hear clearly, it seems that there are many people, it is the feeling of being in a shopping mall or a commercial street, there are many people talking, but it is very noisy, I can't hear what is being said at all!"
I don't know if I was wrong or something, but I felt his expression a little excited.
"Don't you tell me there's an underground mall down here?" I quipped.
Hu San snorted and was amused, "Well, it's really possible!" ”
"Well, seriously," I became serious after two jokes, "did we guess wrong, you see that this piece of iron is so heavy, and it doesn't look like it has been opened often, can this be a passage across the river?" ”
"Are you scared?"
"Just kidding, what am I afraid of, there is nothing in the world that scares me." Actually, I'm talking big words, if I have a real showdown with normal people, I'm not afraid of anything, but if I encounter those crooked ways, I'm really a little scared. The village of Yazar up above is so weird, so maybe there's something weird here.
But I'm afraid of the rules, and I'm definitely not going to back down because I'm afraid of something.
After Hu Sanzhou lifted his body up and down, each of us took a flashlight and a wooden sword, and walked into the hole.
After a few steps, I felt surrounded by a cold air, which was different from outside, or not normal, in short, indescribable.
It is a tapered staircase, which grows wider and wider at the entrance, at first less than two meters wide at the entrance, and now the walls on either side are no longer visible.
We continued to go down, and after about a few dozen steps, we still didn't reach the end, and I couldn't help but be a little ridiculous. The most bottomless thing is that the illumination range of the flashlight is too small, and most of the surrounding space is shrouded in darkness, which makes people feel very unsafe, because you don't know what is hidden in the darkness around you, there may be ghosts, monsters, or ...... Anyway, at this time, no one thinks about the good, this is the innate human instinct - the fear of the unknown.
Two faint flashlights swayed around on the dark steps, and Hu San and I didn't speak, each intently aware of the abnormal movement. The sound of our footsteps was amplified many times more in this extremely quiet environment, as if the sound had struck our hearts.
After walking for about half an hour, and I don't know how many steps I had descended, Hu San suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Why is this endless?" Hu San's voice was very nervous.
"It won't be the Netherworld!"
"Heh" Hu San smiled bitterly, "It's okay to go down to the underworld?" ”
I was originally joking, but I didn't expect Hu San to answer like this.
"How?" I asked.
"Master has acquaintances there!" As soon as he finished speaking, Hu San hurriedly corrected: "No, it's a familiar ghost!" ”
"Huh? It's really fake, don't joke with me! ”
I know that Master is amazing, and I know that his old man is very mysterious, but I never thought that there could be any relationship between him and ghosts.
Hu San held up the flashlight and said while shining it around: "I also listened to his old man himself, he said that he knew a ghost in the underworld called Jiuxing, Jiuxing was a friend of the master before his death, and after his death, he was accepted as an apprentice by the black impermanence Fan Wusheng. ”
"Come on, you have to screen Master's words before listening to them, he said that at least three out of ten sentences are nonsense. Didn't you see what he was telling fortunes on the street? ”
At this time, I recalled the scene when I first met Master, and at that time he gave me the impression that he was a charlatan, but after a period of getting along, I found that although Master was sometimes not very serious and did not have much truth in his mouth, he was still very kind-hearted, which was very similar to Hu San. I suddenly had some doubts about whether Hu San was picked up by the master, could he be the illegitimate son of Hu's father?
