Chapter 62: Nine Turns Back to the Soul Ladder
"Damn, no, I just told a story, why did this footstep really come?" The fat man cursed speechlessly, "This is too evil!" ”
Yang Ying looked at the fat man speechlessly, "**This crow's mouth is really smart, just told a ghost story, and it attracted footsteps!" I think you're going to buy a lottery ticket tomorrow.,It's called a quasi! ”
Hu Dongfa told the two, "I think we should hurry up, although the footsteps can't see people, and the surname is very evil, let's hurry up!" ”
The two nodded, and said no more.
Everyone also quickened their upward pace because of the footsteps behind them.
After about ten meters of winding walk, the group stood on a platform, surrounded by mountain walls, and on the opposite side of the platform was a dark one-man high hole.
Strange to say, since everyone stood on this platform, the footsteps of everyone disappeared. I don't know what the situation is, but everyone is relieved.
The group observed the entrance of the cave, and the stone wall above the entrance was engraved with four words, 'Nine Turns Back to the Soul', and a pair of words were engraved on each side of the entrance. On the right is: Nine turns [***] road; On the left is: Soul Ladder.
Everyone looked at each other, all at a loss.
"Yingzi, what the fuck are you doing in this cave?" The fat man found a big rock, sat down and stretched his waist and asked.
Yang Ying held her chin and pondered, while the three people behind her were curiously observing around.
"Fatty, the words engraved on the outside of this say [***] Dao, then this hole should be [***] Dao!" Yang Ying walked to the fat man's side at this time, but saw the fat man who was picking his toes and was a little speechless, "Fat man, do you pay attention to your image!" The public picked their toes and toes, disgusting to death! ”
The fat man laughed, "There is no big girl here, why do I pay so much attention to my image?" Just these few people, I still pay attention to the image? Yingzi, don't be funny! ”
The corner of Yang Ying's mouth twitched, "Okay, if you want to deduct it, you can deduct it!" But for now, let's go in first, you put your foot picking plan first, let's go in and have a look! ”
When the fat man heard this, he boldly shoved his stinky feet into his shoes and stood up.
"There should be just steps in this cave, but it's easy to get people dizzy, let's go in and have a look, everyone is closer, don't get dizzy and can't find anyone!" After Yang Ying finished speaking, he was the first to enter the cave, and everyone followed him in.
As soon as Yang Ying entered this cave, he felt as if he had entered a black mist, and it was pitch black all around, and he couldn't see anything!
Yang Ying hurriedly said out loud, "Xiangzi, Shangliangzi!" ”
The flashlights carried by everyone are gone, and they have long been thrown away, only Xiangzi's flashlight can be lit for a while.
After Xiangzi turned on the flashlight, everyone saw the situation in front of them clearly.
Yang Ying was right, it was really a stone staircase that stretched up!
"Fatty, I'm walking in front, you're at the back, if you find anything, tell me, and the three of you follow closely to avoid getting lost." Yang Ying said and began to walk up the steps.
After hearing this, the fat man replied in an echo, "Yingzi, don't worry, my palace will definitely be fine, but you should be careful yourself, call me quickly if you encounter something!" ”
Yang Ying said yes, then stopped making a noise and continued to walk up.
The three of them saw that Yang Ying had already gone up the steps and hurriedly followed, and then the fat man also followed.
Yang Ying walked upwards while carefully observing the surroundings to see if there was anything unusual.
On both sides are pitch-black stone walls, this stone step is about three meters wide, and the flashlight behind it is already a little weak, plus it is very dark here, and it can only roughly illuminate the road in front of you.
Yang Ying had no choice but to walk forward slowly and cautiously, and the four people behind him also followed his footsteps and marched upwards step by step.
After walking for about half an hour, but never seeing the exit, Yang Ying felt more and more that something was wrong.
After walking forward for more than ten meters, he suddenly stood still and stopped, causing Shoko to almost hit him.
"Yingzi, why don't you leave?" The fat man saw Yang Ying suddenly stop, thinking that he had encountered something, so he hurriedly asked out loud.
Yang Ying took a breath, "Fatty, don't you think something is wrong?" We've been walking for an hour, and we haven't seen the exit yet. ”
The fat man was stunned for a while, "Well, maybe this place is big, and the road is long!" ”
"But I always feel that something is wrong, I have walked for so long, and before I reach the exit, I can walk for several miles." Yang Ying frowned with a sad expression.
"Brother Yang, why don't we engrave a mark!" At this time, Huzi suddenly proposed.
When Yang Ying heard this, she had a flash of inspiration, "Yes! Why didn't I remember? ”
So everyone continued to move forward, and every five meters, Xiangzi carved a triangle on the ground.
However, everyone walked dozens of meters, but suddenly heard Xiangzi shouting!
It turned out that at this time, under the light of the flashlight, an irregular triangle was carved on the ground! And this triangle is exactly what Shoko carved just now, and there is still ash left when carving next to the triangle!
"Wait! Don't go, everyone! It turns out that this is not a [***] Dao at all, it turns out that this is a Soul Hanging Ladder! At this time, Yang Ying suddenly said.
"Soul Ladder?" The three of them looked dazed.
"What? Yingzi: This is a soul ladder? The fat man was also shocked.
Yang Ying nodded, "Yes, this is the Soul Ladder." The Soul Ladder is a large mechanism used in ancient tombs to prevent theft, and it is formed by a group of stone steps with subtle drops. In addition, the walls on both sides of the stone steps are painted black, which easily absorbs light, and visitors cannot see the road clearly. And the Soul Ladder is generally not a straight line, and there will be many forks in the road. And also set up some subtle references, so that you subconsciously follow its setting, in fact, all the time in circles. ”
"So what should we do? Xiao Yang, you say, how to get out of this soul ladder? Hu Dongfa asked.
Yang Ying frowned, "Actually, this Soul Hanging Ladder is used to trap so one or two people, once there are many people, it is easy to be cracked." After a while, the five of us walked side by side, and as soon as we found a fork in the road, we quickly told me, and everyone watched carefully. ”
Everyone nodded after hearing this, Yang Ying stood on the innermost side, and Xiangzi stood on the outermost side. Because the fat man is usually too careless, Yang Ying didn't dare to let him stand on the outside, and he complained all the time.
Everyone began a dragnet investigation, and Xiangzi still made marks every five meters, while observing whether there were any forks in the road.
After walking for more than ten meters, Xiangzi suddenly shouted, "Brother Yang, there is a fork in the road on my side!" ”
Yang Ying said at this time, "Fatty, you go to the front to see if there is a mark, if there is one in the front, it means that we have missed this fork in the road before." ”
After hearing this, the fat man hurriedly ran forward with a flashlight to look, "Yingzi, there is indeed a mark here, I'll go into the fork in the road to take a look!" Then he ran into the fork in the road, and after a while he came out and gasped and said, "I walked ten meters in that fork, and there was no mark!" ”
Yang Ying thought to herself, sure enough, this passage is really enclosed in a circle, if you don't notice the fork in the road, you will only keep turning in circles, the design of the ancients is really ingenious.
"Then let's go in!" Yang Ying nodded, and everyone walked into the fork in the road.
The fork in the road was very narrow, only more than one person wide, so Yang Ying didn't notice this fork in the road at first. After that, it began to widen, and the five of them began to walk side by side again, while carefully examining.
In this way, everyone walked about seven more forks, and finally came to the eighth fork, and the following should be the last circle.
However, when everyone walked in, it was not a stone staircase, but a square stone house!
Shoko shone a flashlight in front of her, but she was terrified.
On the wall in the middle of the stone house, there was a fat woman, with a miserable white face and a strange smile, staring at the people who came in!
