Chapter Twenty-Four: The Ghost Town of Xudu
At nine o'clock in the morning, Li Sheng was still driving his Audi and driving the group to Yudu.
Lin Daxiong sat in the back row and looked at the information handed over to him by Mr. Chen, the annotations on the first few pages are nothing more than some geographical locations and legends about ghost towns, there is no need to look at them carefully, after jumping over and turning the last few pages, the titles on them are marked in bold letters very eye-catching.
"The true way to Hades!"
The content is roughly that there is a sinkhole in the southeast of the capital in the suburbs, and there is a huge rock pressed on the top of the sinkhole, and no one has ever entered it, and the most widely spread by the local people is that under this rock crevice, there is a road leading to the underworld.
Since he had heard Wen Xiang say it once before in the madhouse, Nobita didn't show too much surprise when he read the information, but he just thought that this was just a rumor, and it was unlikely that it was really a way to the underworld.
Jinping is not very far from the mark on the map, the car drove for two or three hours to the place, a few people got out of the car and inquired only to know that it was not the rock that pressed the sinkhole, but Longbei Mountain.
The content written on the information is very comprehensive, even the tools and instruments used to go deep into the rock crevices, and how to save themselves in case of danger, but these contents cannot be looked at carefully, if it is really such a simple thing, why do you have to ask them to come?
It seems that Old Man Chen only had to write out on the information that he wanted to go to this place, Lin Daxiong thought about putting the information back in his backpack, and the only thing that can be determined at present is that it is full of dangers, far beyond all the things encountered when he was looking for the dragon breeding tank three years ago!
The group walked in the direction of the sinkhole with light military backpacks on their backs, and halfway through, Lin Daxiong and Li Sheng's mobile phones suddenly rang at the same time.
Lin Daxiong casually took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and there was an MMS message from a number on it, he frowned, thinking that it was an advertisement sent by the operator, so he didn't care, who knew that when he unlocked it, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat!
In the MMS is a processed image, the image is very dim, I don't know where it was taken, and the background is a cyan stone brick wall.
Lin Daxiong now has a serious psychological shadow on the photo, the whole thing is because of the photo from beginning to end, and now it is a photo, he couldn't help but scold angrily, damn, am I so fated with photos in my life?
Nobita thought about it, and inadvertently flipped it down, this photo was the stone brick wall from beginning to end, and there was nothing else, but when he turned to the bottom, a line of text appeared on it, and the moment he saw the text, he trembled violently!
"I'm waiting for you in Hades!"
An uneasy emotion rose in his heart, Lin Daxiong's hand shook, and the phone fell to the ground without holding it steady.
On the other side, Li Sheng was also doing the same action, Wen Xiang and Lu Fengxian frowned when they saw this, and stepped forward to check it out curiously, and they were immediately a spirit!
The MMS messages of the two are together, exactly the same content, exactly the same photos, exactly the same text!
"Hey, move? I want to use mobile banking to charge a number. Wen Xiang took out his mobile phone and read it out according to the number on Nobita's screen.
After reading the number, Wen Xiang swallowed his saliva, hurriedly put the earpiece next to his ear, and exclaimed, "What? Empty number! ”
Everyone looked at each other when they heard the sound, and they all froze in place, and after about a few minutes, Wen Xiang took the lead in relieving himself, staring at the photo on his phone and said, "I think...... It's not that Old Man Chen wants you to come, but someone asked Old Man Chen to ask you to come! ”
After this sentence, the others took a deep breath, above Old Man Chen, there is only the leading boss behind the Swallow Gate, that is, the behind-the-scenes giants who are in charge of various illegal industries!
At the moment when everyone was in a hurry, a light rain suddenly fell in the sky, Lin Daxiong found that other people were looking at him, slapped his head suddenly, and pulled his thoughts back from the photo, he realized that he was now the captain, and everyone was waiting for him to give an order, so he cheered up and waved his hand, "Let's go, go to the sinkhole first, and put the rest of the things aside." ”
Everyone nodded and continued to walk, there was a small grove in front of them, it was raining, the ground was very slippery, and everyone almost fell after taking a few steps. Lin Daxiong and Li Sheng walked side by side in front, and when they walked through the forest, a towering mountain appeared in front of them.
At the foot of the mountain, a deep pit appeared in a place facing everyone, as introduced in the information, the mountain stone just pressed the deep pit, revealing only a small gap, which was just enough for the next person to get into.
Seeing that the destination had arrived, Lin Daxiong turned his head and glanced at Li Sheng, as if asking him what he meant, whether to go over now or wait for the rain to stop before passing.
"Let's go over and have a look!" Li Sheng immediately decided.
Wen Xiang tugged at the corner of Nobita's clothes and said strangely: "Have you noticed that this Longbei Mountain seems to be different from the one in the photo, and it is also different from the last time I saw it." ”
"What's the difference?" Lin Daxiong glanced up at the mountain, took out the photo from his pocket and compared it, after he said this, he really felt that something seemed to be missing.
"I can't tell." Wen Xiang shook his head, moved his steps to look at Nobita, frowned and said, "If that monkey stands next to you, it's like a ......."
Lin Daxiong secretly leaned in when he heard this, this guy dared to tease himself, "Don't make trouble, let's go." ”
"I mean, really, if you have a way to resurrect the monkey in the folding fan, you must stand here and let me compare it, you may really find something new, and I can't say what it is!" Wen Xiang didn't mean to joke, and said with a serious face.
Monkey in a folding fan...... Lin Daxiong suddenly remembered Wukong, to be honest, if it weren't for its scary appearance and love to eat human brains, it would actually be quite likable. However, what puzzled him the most was that if this folding fan was really a dragon breeding jar, there should be a recipe for using it, but when he first got the folding fan, he didn't find any magic or anything like that.
Just as they were thinking, everyone approached the crack in the stone, and there was a lot of dead grass growing around it, about an inch high, and the crack in the stone was muddy, and the depth was extremely dark, and it was impossible to see what was inside from the outside.
Lin Daxiong glanced at Li Sheng again, he couldn't stop giving himself a look, and motioned for him to go down first and take the lead.
Nobita glanced at the gap and swallowed and foamed at the mouth, at this time Li Sheng handed over a flashlight, his hand trembled, and the flashlight turned out.
Now, I am already a cultivator in the Dao building period, and I have a way to deal with ghosts and monsters, but I can still be afraid of a stone crevice? Lin Daxiong comforted himself in his heart, pushed the flashlight switch in his hand, then bit the flashlight in his mouth, stepped into it first, and judged by the soft feeling coming from the soles of his feet, the road below should be a dirt road.
Lin Daxiong took a deep breath, stepped in with his other foot, and tentatively went deep into it with both hands on the ground.
First half of his body went into the slit, then he didn't go up to his neck, until the whole person dived in, and he looked through the light of the flashlight in his mouth, and the surrounding area was full of muddy ground, and the person kept going down, and the slope was about forty-five degrees.
Seeing this, Li Sheng, who was outside the crack in the stone, immediately tightened his collar, and then got in.
"Nobita, can you see what's up ahead?" Li Sheng felt that his body was surrounded by mud and the space for movement was cramped, and it was uncomfortable to squeeze people in the middle, which would make people suffer from claustrophobia.
Lin Daxiong was climbing down, his clothes were filled with cold mud on his face and neck, it was still the end of winter, the weather had not warmed up, his body was already frozen and began to tremble slightly, after hearing Li Sheng's shout, he hurriedly responded: "The further down you go, the more space there is, it is estimated that it will not be long before you reach the ground." ”
"Oh!" Li Sheng shouted in response, and slowly climbed a few steps, Wen Xiang and Lu Fengxian also came in, Wen Xiang may have also come in last time, and he was already familiar with the road, and Lu Fengxian slipped on the soles of his feet and stepped on Wen Xiang's head, and suddenly he screamed.
"Shoko, are you alright?" Lin Daxiong's heart sank when he heard the shout, and he hurriedly put the flashlight aside and asked.
At this time, Lu Fengxian felt that he had stepped on someone, so he hurriedly moved it, and stepped on Wen Xiang's face again, he endured the great pain and said, "I...... I'm fine. ”
As soon as Lin Daxiong became the captain of the team, he felt the pressure of Chu Ying, and every member of the team had a little trouble, which affected his heart, in addition, there were unknown dangers waiting ahead.
After groping and climbing for a while, the space around them expanded a lot, and their bodies could stretch freely, which made them feel much better, and their climbing speed was greatly improved.
Lin Daxiong just wanted to get out of this section of the road as soon as possible, because his mouth was very uncomfortable, sore and sore due to holding a flashlight for a long time.
Fortunately, he didn't climb long, and his feet fell on the flat ground, Nobita hurriedly pulled the flashlight out of his mouth, moved his mouth, and then aimed the flashlight around, this look, his heart was stunned!
It's a wide passageway, and the walls on both sides are like walls made of cyan bricks, exactly like the one in the MMS!
The rest of the people also fell on the flat ground one after another, and they all gasped when they saw the scene in front of them.
This situation completely overturned Wen Xiang's previous inference, and the MMS message showed that someone had come here before everyone else, and it was very likely to be around here! Realizing this, everyone immediately looked around in shock, and there was an empty corridor around them.
"That's not right! The walls weren't like this last time I was here! Wen Xiang suddenly exclaimed.
When Lin Daxiong turned his head to look at Wen Xiang when he heard the sound, he found that his face was pale, and even his voice had changed color.
"Do you remember the last time I picked up the rag shoes?" Wen Xiang jumped forward with a smoke, touched the uneven wall, pointed to it and said, "I will never be mistaken!" Last time, the cloth shoes were embedded in this wall, and when they were pulled out, there was a black hole, but now they are gone! ”
