Everyone's hearts were in their throats, and their eyes were fixed on the slowly opening lintel.

But the eye-catching scene made everyone's faces change and their expressions were strange.

There are no vicious ghosts in the inner courtyard, nor are there a large number of black armor.

There was nothing but a bare wasteland, and nothing else.

Song Guicheng blinked, obviously he didn't expect this to be the case in this inner courtyard.

He slung his sword over his shoulder and walked cautiously into the inner courtyard.

Seeing this, the people behind him didn't dare to move, but just gathered at the door, watching Song Guicheng's every move nervously.

Compared to the empty and huge outer courtyard, the inner courtyard is quite small.

Of course, such a small size is only relative.

In the courtyard, which is about four or five feet square, there is only a single piece of snow, let alone a house, and not even a stone can be found.

Song Guicheng walked around the small courtyard, but he didn't gain anything.

He frowned, looked sideways at Chu Qingxiao who was standing at the gate of the courtyard and asked, "Stinky boy, what's the matter?" Didn't you say this is the old nest of candles? ”

Song Guicheng had just woken up, and he didn't know much about everything in Wuling City, and many things were learned from Chu Qingxiao's mouth.

The speculation that this Zhu family compound is the nest of Candle Yin is naturally the result of Chu Qingxiao's speculation.

Chu Qingxiao also frowned when he heard this: "Only this place in the entire Wuling City is the most suspicious, and last time it was because of our intrusion into the candle yin that people were sent to hunt us down." ”

"And here I heard a strange cry......"

Chu Qingxiao's words came to an abrupt end at this place.

His face turned strange, and his gaze began to scan the inner courtyard as if looking for something.

"I say, stinky boy!"

"A large number of us can just point to these candles to make achievements, you ruined people's future, and there is no difference between killing your parents!" Song Guicheng didn't seem to see Chu Qingxiao's strange appearance, he inserted the long sword in his hand into the ground, supported the hilt of the sword with both hands, and said with a somewhat joking tone.

"That'...... That's not necessary, we don't mean that we must make contributions...... Wang Dagui hurriedly smiled and said: "If Candle Yin is not here, we want to go back and plan again, it's not impossible." ”

Everyone has experienced enough strange things from yesterday to now, and the uneasiness in their hearts has been accumulating, all supported by a trace of reason.

Hearing that they could temporarily get out of this dangerous situation in front of them, everyone was naturally secretly happy.

And Wang Dagui's words undoubtedly spoke the voice of everyone.

At this time, they looked at Song Guicheng, full of anticipation.

"It's a pity that you can't make a difference, but it's really not a big problem." Song Guicheng nodded, as if agreeing with Wang Dagui's words.

"But the problem is, there are not 10,000 but 8,000 guys around here now, let's go out now, and those guys will drown us with a mouthful of spit."

When Wang Dagui heard this, his face showed flattery: "Commander Song laughed, aren't those guys afraid of you?" We've all seen it, and every time you show up, those guys outside are like grandsons meeting grandpa. Whether you want to go out or not, that's not a matter of your Song commander's words! ”

Everyone hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Song Guicheng glanced at Wang Dagui: "I was afraid of me before, and that was because I couldn't beat me." ”

"But now it's different, their number has increased dramatically, nearly 10,000."

"Don't say it's a person, even if 10,000 pigs stretch their necks and let me cut them, then I will have to cut them for ten days and half a month, if you don't believe it, go out and try it yourself?"

Song Guicheng said very easily, with a slight banter between his eyebrows, as if he was deliberately watching everyone's jokes.

"What Commander Song said, how can we have that ability......" Wang Dagui was born as a businessman, and after a short pause, a smile appeared on his face again, and he was about to continue to say some compliments to ease the atmosphere.

"Daddy!" Wang Che stepped forward at this time, he crossed Wang Dagui and walked to Song Guicheng: "Haven't you seen it yet?" This bastard is deliberately trying to make things difficult for us! ”

"From the moment he appeared, we were led by the nose by him!"

"All kinds of intimidation along the way brought us here, God knows what he was thinking!"

Wang Che said, staring at the man in front of him angrily, and the anger and suspicion accumulated along the way were all vented at this moment.

But he said it carefully, but Wang Dagui was terrified when he heard it, and he pulled his son over: "What are you talking about! Little Bunny! ”

After he finished scolding his son, he hurriedly looked at Song Guicheng with a smile: "Commander Song, my son, has been pampered since he was a child, his words, don't go to the bottom of your heart......"

"Don't worry, I'm not angry." But Wang Dagui's scene was interrupted by Song Guicheng before he finished speaking.

And Wang Dagui, who heard this, breathed a sigh of relief and was about to thank him.

But he heard Song Guicheng continue: "Because what he said is true!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone present suddenly changed.

Song Guicheng also straightened his body, pulled out the long sword from the ground, carried it on his shoulder, and glanced at everyone present: "Of course I know that you are not the opponents of Candle Yin, even if you are some of you who have learned some fists and kicks. ”

"It's not enough to fight with the candle shade, and it's not enough for people to stuff their teeth."

"You see, I understand this truth, and you also understand this truth, I don't coax, I don't coerce and entic, how can I bring you here?"

"After all, you are twenty or thirty people here, I am in trouble, I am stunned one by one, and I am very tired, this is the simplest and most effective way!"

Song Guicheng said it as a matter of course, without the slightest fear and shame after the lie was exposed.

Everyone also looked ugly when they heard this, after all, in this situation, the only thing they could count on was Song Guicheng in front of them, but the other party showed his fangs at this time.

Everyone's hearts were in turmoil, and for a while, the courtyard fell into a dead silence.

"And what exactly is your purpose?" At this time, Chu Zhaozhao stepped forward and asked.

Song Guicheng looked sideways at the frowning girl when he heard the voice, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The girl is old-fashioned." ”

"I just don't know if this ancient way is hot, is it because of righteousness, or which stinky boy has a crush on it?"

When Chu Zhaozhao heard this, her face was a little ugly, she heard that there was something in the other party's words, but she didn't know how to respond for a while.

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much." But Song Guicheng didn't seem to care about his answer, and after saying this, he looked at everyone again and continued: "What I can guarantee is that the situation will not be worse than now. ”

"Moreover, although the means I brought you here are a little despicable, the original intention is good."

"We have to thank you for bringing us to such a dangerous place?" Wang Che said angrily.

"Thank you is not necessary, after all, you deserve it."

Song Guicheng smiled and waved his hand, with a well-deserved posture: "After all, today's incident is related to the future of Wuling City. ”

"As a member of Wuling City, I think you have the qualifications and necessity to participate."

Song Guicheng's words were ambiguous, and everyone couldn't understand the meaning of his words.

Just when everyone fell silent, Chu Qingxiao's voice suddenly came.

"Here! This is it! I saw that Chu Qingxiao had walked to the corner of the west side of the inner courtyard at some point, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the ground, and said loudly to everyone.

When everyone was arguing, Chu Qingxiao was looking around, and he didn't really listen to everyone's disputes, and naturally he couldn't understand the gloom in everyone's hearts at the moment.

With a look of excitement on his face, he fell to the ground, and with both hands, he pulled the snow off the ground, and then a stone slab that was clearly different from the ground around him appeared in front of him.

He tried to lift the slate, but his strength was a little insufficient, so he hurriedly said to everyone: "Someone to help!" ”

It's just that everyone hasn't digested Song Guicheng's remarks, where can anyone pay attention to Chu Qingxiao.

But at this moment, Mr. Luo, who had been silent in this quarrel, walked over quickly, he came to Chu Qingxiao's side, didn't say much, rolled up his sleeves, and grabbed the edge of the stone slab with Chu Qingxiao, and began to exert force.

After all, Mr. Luo is just a scholar, and his strength is not as good as Chu Qingxiao, but fortunately, the weight of the slate is not amazing.

Although it was a little harder, the two of them finally staggered and lifted the slate.

Beneath the stone slab is a long staircase that leads deep underground, with no end in sight but an endless darkness.

Song Guicheng stood at the entrance, staring at the ground: "How did you find here?" ”

Chu Qingxiao responded: "Your words reminded me that the main reason why I think there must be something strange here is that after I first came here, I heard a cry that others couldn't hear. ”

"I just found out about this place when I tried to look for something suspicious through that cry."

"Crying? So wicked? Song Guicheng muttered when he heard this, trying to analyze some possible clues from this.

But after a little try, he quickly realized that he didn't seem to be this piece of material, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I can't figure it out, just go down and see it!" ”

With that, he walked straight down the steps.

Everyone around them was a little stunned when they saw this.

Let's go on now, there are some ghosts waiting for them, not to mention, Song Guicheng, a guy with an unknown purpose, will there be any conspiracy, and everyone will not be reassured.

"Or we'll just wait here...... If it goes down, it will also add to the chaos if it starts......" Wang Dagui, as the number one drummer who retired, expressed his opinion for the first time.

Everyone was a little moved when they heard this, and they were about to echo it, but at this time, they heard a sound of footsteps from the direction of the outer courtyard.

They looked sideways, and saw that the people who were surrounding the gate of the Zhu family's compound had come to the gate of the inner courtyard at some point, and this time, they really didn't seem to be willing to watch from afar, and the few people walking in front had already staggered out of their steps and walked towards everyone.

Seeing that the dense crowd was about to surge, everyone's hearts tightened.

At that moment, Chu Yueshan, who was about to echo Wang Dagui, pointed at Wang Dagui as soon as his face changed, and scolded: "You greedy for life and afraid of death, Commander Song is upright, and at first glance he is a hero for the country and the people, how can he harm us!" You can stand by and watch, but I, Chu Yueshan, don't agree! ”

"Commander Song is waiting for me, I'm here to help! Today's moon is dark and the wind is high, it is the time for you and me to make great achievements! ”

After saying this, Chu Yueshan pulled Sun Kuan, who was still in a daze, and walked quickly to the entrance of the cave.

Wang Dagui, who heard this, was stunned for a moment, but then came back to his senses.

He slapped his head and was very annoyed that Chu Yueshan had robbed him of this opportunity to show his loyalty, and shouted loudly while catching up quickly: "I also think so below, Fang Cai's words are just a joke!" ”

"In my heart, I have always admired a hero like the Commander, and it is a blessing to be able to fight with Commander Song today!"

In this way, the people who were still afraid of their heads and tails turned into heroes who were loyal and courageous, and they all spoke loudly and grandiosely, and kept up with the large army with both hands and feet......

……

"Daddy...... When did you become so enlightened? ”

Chu Qingxiao walked on the long steps that seemed to have no end, and looked back at Chu Yueshan who was panting and catching up with him with some strange feelings.

He was very confused by the other party's impassioned statement.

Chu Yueshan gasped, glanced at Song Guicheng, who was walking in front, after all, he didn't dare to repeat Fang Cai's words, but just coughed dryly and said: "Your father and I have always been like this, I have a heart of loyalty and courage in my chest, and I have a peerless sword technique to eradicate rape and eliminate evil in my hands, but I am low-key and don't like to stretch out." ”

Chu Qingxiao was inexplicable when he heard it, and was about to ask a question, but Chu Yueshan stretched out his hand and pulled his son behind him.

While vigilantly staring at the back of Song Guicheng in front of him, he said: "Go behind me, if there is anything, my father can take care of you!" ”

Chu Qingxiao originally wanted to tell his father that Song Guicheng seemed to be more reliable than him, but then he thought that his father had always had a good face, so he simply suppressed the words that came to his lips, and slowly moved towards the ground with the large army.

The steps are narrow, flanked by smooth walls, and the passage in the middle is only large enough for one person.

The stairs were also very long, and the crowd lined up in a long line, walking for a full quarter of an hour, but there was still no end in sight.

And the further down it goes, the darker it becomes, and before I could barely see the road under my feet, but when I got to the back, it was already a darkness that I couldn't see my fingers.

Everyone could only pull the corners of each other's clothes and grope their way forward slowly.

In the darkness, everyone was a little silent, only the sound of falling footsteps and the increasingly nervous breathing of everyone echoed in the darkness.

"We ...... Where the hell is this going......" The boundless darkness and oppressive atmosphere made a family brought by Wang Dagui a little collapsed.

His crying voice rang out in the darkness......

This question made everyone's hearts tremble, but no one could answer it.

Chu Qingxiao, who had never heard everyone arguing, didn't understand the real reason for the other party's collapse at the moment, and he still had the heart to speak of relief, and turned his head to say something.

"I ...... I'm not leaving! ”

"Hell ahead! He wants to take us to hell!! The man seemed to have broken down completely, and he cried out loudly, turning to leave in the direction he had come.

But the steps were too narrow, and he suddenly slammed into the crowd behind him with his sudden frantic movements.

And the crowd behind him in the dark didn't know what was going on, but the tense nerves were stirred up at this time, and the crowd pushed me, and the scene was a little chaotic for a while.

Cao Shugong yelled several times to try to appease everyone, but to little avail.

"Stop arguing."

"Here we are."

And at this juncture, Song Guicheng, who was walking in front, suddenly said.

The chaotic crowd paused at this moment, and they all looked in the direction where the sound came from.

I only heard the footsteps of Song Guicheng echoing in front of him, as if he had come to an empty realm.

Then he suddenly stretched out his hand towards the stone wall on the side and pressed it gently.

Clang.

A muffled sound rose.

Two faint green fires lit up on the walls on both sides of Chu Qingxiao.

Clang.

There was another muffled thud.

Not far ahead, fires also lit up in the rock walls on both sides.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

The muffled sound began to follow a certain pattern, one after the other.

The flames, along with the muffled sound, spread forward on both sides of the rock wall.

The rock walls on both sides of the front also began to extend outward, and the distance between the fires on both sides of the rock wall at the same time was also increasing, and when they reached a node that was the farthest apart, the next pair of fires began to close in the middle.

After nearly a hundred breaths, it was facing the direction of everyone nearly a hundred feet away.

The last light of the fire lit up.

The sound of the city gates, which echoed in the darkness, came to an abrupt end.

After a brief period of adaptation, the light suddenly rose, and everyone finally saw the scene of this place clearly.

Ahead, instead of a narrow staircase leading to the underground, there is a ...... behind a not-so-long passage

Huge circular dungeon!

Song Guicheng, who was standing at the entrance of the underground palace, looked at everyone with a smile.

The smile on his face, in the light of the dark green firelight, looked eerie.

He said softly.

"Welcome to Hell."

"Hmmm......"

"...... to be exact"

"From one hell to another."
