The flame of the candle suddenly became bean-sized, as if it would be extinguished at any moment. When a person is popular, a ghost breathes, and a ghost pants, that is, the candlelight feels the breath of the ghost, so it will change color. The candle flame was like a green bean, burning calmly, covering the faces of the people around it with a faint layer of cyan.

Immediately afterwards, Zhong Gong took out the incense and lit it, and the smoke of the incense could judge the location of the zongzi and make the soft zongzi visible.

The fragrant smoke rose and quickly dissipated into the air, Zhong Gong frowned: "What if you don't eat it?" "Judging from the smoke and the ghost's panting, please incense is obviously a failure, under normal circumstances, if the soft zongzi hides above, then in the process of smoking the incense mist, it will make the smoke condense and not disperse, all the way up, but now it is very normal, it rises no more than half a meter, and then slowly disperses.

Zhen Rui frowned, and then sat down on the stone steps, staring at the hole in the darkness above, as if asking the troublemaker, and as if asking herself, "What do you want to do?" Tofu sighed, sat on the ground, and said, "We have seen so many powerful zongzi, I didn't expect to plant them in the hands of a little girl today." ”

Zhang Wen smiled bitterly and said: "I have passed through the wind and waves, but I didn't expect to capsize in the gutter." ”

Tofu was angry, and shouted at the top: "If you have the ability, you can come down for me, let's fight alone!" ”

As if thinking of something because of this sentence, Zhen Rui suddenly stood up and said; "It hasn't come down, can't it come to this place?" His words also reminded me, thinking that the zongzi guided us everywhere before, as if it was guiding us, but it never appeared later, is there really any taboo about this place?

At this time, Zhang Wen said; "It was too dangerous just now, but fortunately, I didn't climb high at that time, and I had to climb a little higher at that time, and when I fell down, where could Brother Chen catch it. So, we can't take any more risks, I think there must be other exits to this place. ”

Zhen Rui didn't speak, and I asked, "How can you see it?" “

Zhang Wendao: "As you said before, Xiao Xu described the appearance in that map, this place is a large sacrificial place, and many people will worship here. Think about it, where did those people and some sacrificial materials come from? Could it be that Chengdu is like us, climbing the rope down from such a high place one by one? “

Without waiting for everyone to speak, Zhang Wen said again: "This passage mouth will appear, because we blew up the totem pole with a detonator at that time, so this collapse was formed, and the real entrance and exit is definitely not here." ”

Everyone understood what Zhang Wen meant, Tofu blinked, a little puzzled, and said, "However, we have all touched this place, and we haven't seen any other entrances and exits." ”

Zhong Gong said: "Will there be a mechanism?" I think it's better to do it again. At this moment, the road above was guarded by the girl, but it was completely impassable, and in desperation, everyone could only go down the stone steps again, ready to find other entrances and exits.

The stone steps are very long, and climbing back and forth like this is enough to make people unbearable, and when everyone went down to the end, Tofu suddenly said; "You say, could there be an entrance behind that golden gate?" The feeling behind the difficult gate is too weird, and even the corpse fairy is taboo, so I asked Tofu not to think about it, unless the mountains and rivers are exhausted, I must not touch the gate. The rest agreed, and a long search began.

The space in this place is very large, but the secret passage is not something that can be opened wherever you want, it has to be set up according to the terrain, so we infer that if there is really a secret entrance, then this entrance and exit can not be on the bottom of the foot in the first place, and it can only be opened on the inner wall.

Then, based on the layout of the palace above, we roughly guessed the most likely location, which was to the northeast, and if this direction could not be found, we would have to carry out a carpet search, which would be very time-consuming.

We were well equipped, and we didn't need to be economical, so we turned up the lights to the maximum and went to the southeast to begin to investigate them carefully, looking for possible mechanisms. Before I knew it, the crowd dispersed, and when I looked back, I saw that the lights were scattered in all directions. I didn't look at the others, I looked at the location of Tofu, and saw that he was knocking around with the corpse fairy, behaving in good order, and there was no sign of trouble, so I was relieved. I searched forward again, and a minute and a second passed in advance, and in the blink of an eye, it was more than an hour, but the search was fruitless.

I had to follow the signal agreed in advance, let the headlamp flash three times, because the space is large, far away, so everyone can judge the location, can only be judged by the location of the halo, I sent a signal, indicating that I did not find, and then, scattered in other places also began to reply to the signal, all flashed three times like me.

I feel tired when I think about it, if I can't find it in this area, then our search area will have to expand, it will be a very time-consuming and labor-intensive process, I can't help but wonder, my heart said that the entrance, is it really behind that golden gate?

Thinking like this, everyone had already gathered in one place, Ouyang Xuan sat directly on the ground, leaning against the wall and drowsy, I saw that her face was flushed, obviously she was not lightly ill. After this series of tosses, everyone was tired from the strange corpses for a while, drowned for a while, and was taken away by the strange insects for a while, and almost died.

Tofu's stomach gurgled twice, he rubbed his belly, and said, "Why don't you rest for a while, eat something and find it again, Miss Ouyang should take some medicine and rest first." "I looked at the watch on my wrist, and it was evening when I went down to the palace, and now the hands were pointing to nine o'clock in the morning, that is, we had been tumbling all night, neither eating nor drinking, nor closing our eyes. At this time, no entrance and exit were found, and everyone's mood was even heavier, and they were tired for a while.

After Tofu finished speaking, Zhen Rui nodded and said to rest in place.

Everyone ate dried meat and compressed biscuits, fed Ouyang Xuan some, and got anti-fever and anti-inflammatory medicine to eat, and she fell asleep deeply. The rest of us sat around a small fire raised by solid fuel, somewhat sleepy. Zhen Rui didn't show any fatigue, it is estimated that he couldn't find a way to relieve the snoring duo this time, and he was still trapped here, presumably because of too much pressure. In the end, we planned to rest for six hours, except for Ouyang Xuan, the remaining five of us would each stay for about an hour.

Tofu and I were in the last two in line, so we found a slightly more comfortable place and went to sleep. This sleep was very heavy, until he was woken up by Zhong Gong in a blur, and he said, "It's your turn." "I sat up, and I felt that this short sleep did not relieve much fatigue, but rather that I was more tired because I didn't wake up.

I looked at my watch, and since I didn't dream when I fell asleep, I felt like four hours had passed in the blink of an eye. I sat by the fire and continued to guard, the corpse fairy stood straight not far away, except for the shallow breathing of everyone in the darkness, it was a deathly silence.

Time passed quickly, an hour passed, I watched the tofu sleeping on all fours, and said that I would wake him up at this time, and I would sleep for another hour at most, forget it, cheap this kid, let him continue to sleep, so I didn't ask him to get up and change shifts, and sat by the fire thinking about some of the things that were not.

Thinking a little closer, it is the weird golden door, thinking a little farther, is Lu Su, who has a broken rib, and Bacheng is almost recovering, and then he thinks of the snow mountain, and he is dumb after leaving the hospital, thinking of the face that is exactly the same as the statement, all kinds of doubts come to him.

These thoughts were rolling in my mind irregularly, and suddenly, in the darkness, I suddenly heard an extremely small sound, which seemed to come from the darkness on my left.

Although the sound was not loud, it was very sensitive to those who had been in this darkness and silence for a long time, and I couldn't help but listen attentively, and in an instant, I suddenly realized: it was the footsteps, the footsteps of people!

And there were a lot of people, clattering, like a team walking with a very regular sound.

I subconsciously looked in the direction where the sound was coming from, but there was nothing but darkness in the place. The muscles on my back couldn't help but tense, and a thought flashed through my mind: it is impossible for many people to suddenly appear in this place, what is this footsteps-like sound?

Immediately afterward, I woke up the others and signaled that there was a situation.

Tofu woke up and looked at the time, and said in surprise: "Lao Chen, why didn't you tell me to get up and change shifts?" I said, "I slept like a dead pig, how can I call you?" Okay, don't talk about this, everyone quickly pack up your things, there's a situation. "When everyone woke up, they didn't need to be reminded by me, and they also heard a series of sounds similar to people walking.

The so-called illness is like a mountain, Ouyang Xuan can't get up at all at this time, so Zhen Rui asked Zhong Gong to stay where he was, and the rest of us turned on the lights and quickly walked in the direction where the sound came from.
