Chapter Twenty-Four: Eyes

The passage is a deep, but not narrow, stone staircase that runs from top to bottom.

The color of the stone strip looks a little grayish white through the glow of the flashlight.

But it seems to have been smeared with some secret pigment that we don't know about, which allows the stone to absorb light.

So visibility can only illuminate a maximum of six or seven steps.

If you walk close to the wall of one of the passages, you will see some strange murals of small people.

There are many types of murals, but the pictures are simple, and you can roughly see the contents of some murals.

Because we were afraid of getting separated, Uncle Yan asked us to walk in pairs, all of them sticking to one of the walls.

We walked very slowly, and we were careful with every step because we were afraid of encountering something again.

But in fact, at this time, my stomach was already very hungry, I couldn't even tell the difference between day and night, and everyone was more depressed and dull.

Uncle Yan himself walked in the front, holding a flashlight.

Qi Dachuan walked in the middle with the old man with ghost hands.

Leng Yue and I are in charge of the queen of the palace.

Almost half an hour passed, and Uncle Yan suddenly stopped.

"Old Seven, have you noticed that something is wrong here?"

The old man with the ghost hand was already half-dead because the two natal bugs were killed, if it weren't for Qi Dachuan dragging it all the time, I think he might die in this kind of place at any time.

However, Uncle Yan's words were still answered by the old man with ghost hands.

I saw the old man with the ghost hand looking left and right on both sides, and then asked Uncle Yan to light a candle.

Only then did he slowly sit on the steps and ask Uncle Yan what was going on?

Uncle Yan pointed to one of the murals and said, "Look at this little man holding a mirror in his hand, I counted it just now, and we have passed by this little man no less than ten times. ”

"This shows that we seem to be going around in circles ...... same place!"

After Uncle Yan finished speaking, Leng Yue answered directly: "23! ”

Qi Dachuan asked what Leng Yue meant?

Leng Yue said: "Every time we walk 23 steps, we will return to the original point!" ”

Uncle Yan said: "But we have been going down, there is no reason at all?" ”

I was a little unhappy.

This woman had already found out earlier, so why didn't she say it earlier.

The reason why I have an opinion on Leng Yue is because of what Li Dabao said.

Leng Yue seemed to know a lot about this, but she was as reluctant to say anything as a mute.

At least if others don't take the initiative to ask, she's a mute.

So when I say why you didn't say it earlier.

Leng Yue didn't even look at me, but replied lightly: "You didn't ask either?" ”

I'll go!

When I got this answer, I couldn't wait to give Leng Yue a big mouth.

Who is this?

But Uncle Yan didn't accuse Leng Yue, and even the old man with a ghost hand didn't say anything.

As for Qi Dachuan, he won't say anything.

After all, both of them are from Bashu.

"Fifth master, could this be the ghost of the little fat man who held back the treasure?"

"Could it be that he has already entered the bottom of the temple?"

The old man with the ghost hand sitting on the stone steps said in a deep voice, "No way, that little guy is either behind us or at the bottom of the cave, but we don't know where he is hiding." ”

When Qi Dachuan asked the old man with the ghost hand why he was so sure, the old man with the ghost hand only replied with two words.

"Breath!"

Breath?

The old man's answer made me feel very metaphysical.

If I hadn't had some education, I would have felt that what I had experienced this time would only be in a villain book.

Actually, I was mentally prepared before I went to the ground, after all, I experienced some weird and unexplained things myself when I was a child.

But it was only then that I realized that all I had encountered was something that could not be explained by science.

After the old man finished speaking, he said slowly: "Yan Luowu, what do you think of this situation? ”

Uncle Yan thought for a while and said, "Although we don't know what we bumped into for the time being, it definitely can't be a ghost." ”

"So we can directly rule out this point, and the rest is Qimen Dunjia, or the secret path of the mechanism."

Saying that, Uncle Yan asked Qi Dachuan to take out the rope in the bag, which was already the only rope we had left.

Uncle Yan's method is very simple, that is, it doesn't matter whether this corridor is returned the same way or not.

But at least it can't be endless, and the reason why we've been going around in circles is probably our visual problem.

He had experienced a similar situation in other tombs.

And the rope is a dead thing without consciousness and thought, and we only need to hold on to the rope for each of us, one person stays in place, and the rest walk slowly down.

The people below and the people above are fine as long as they can keep their eyes within the range they can see.

Leng Yue also said just now that we can return to the original point with only 23 steps, so this means that we only need to walk 23 steps to know what is going on.

Although the number of flashlights is not enough, you can light a few candles as lighting points, although the candle is weak, but at least you can see a vague figure, which is enough.

I certainly don't have the slightest say in this so-called 'organ'.

And Uncle Yan also let me stay at the starting point in order to take care of me.

But I volunteered and said, "Uncle Yan, why don't I go down, he's like this, and it's not very convenient to move." ”

I stretched out my hand and pointed at the old man, meaning that this thing is half dead, so let's let him stay where he is.

The old man looked up at me, let out an uncomfortable laugh in his throat, and nodded.

I was a little numb by his laughter, so I simply let Qi Dachuan be the second and I would be the third.

And Leng Yue was in front of me, and Uncle Yan was in the first position.

When everything was ready, we all found our corresponding position.

And in the end, when it was Uncle Yan's turn, he first greeted us all, and then began to go down slowly.

I stood still, leaning against the wall, waiting for the final result.

At this moment, I suddenly felt as if something was blowing in my ears, a little cold, and it gave me a hairy feeling.

This startled me and I hurriedly turned sideways to look at the wall.

Above the wall is a mural of a villain.

Because the walls are completely black, the contents of the murals can only be seen up close.

It was a small man blowing at something like a cauldron.

And in the cauldron are painted some small people with half of their bodies exposed.

There is nothing out of the ordinary about that.

But the moment I looked back, I seemed to find something.

Then he took a few steps forward and approached the cauldron on the fresco.

One of the villains' head is gone, replaced by a black thing, and it moves!

I looked a little closer and noticed that the black thing was covered with something like a ripple.

And on the black thing, there seem to be a lot of lines on it, because of the light, I can't see it very really.

If the black thing hadn't moved, maybe I wouldn't have guessed anything.

But just as I was about to look away, the black thing suddenly moved.

It was just like that, but it made a lightning bolt run through my mind.

It's like an eye!

It's a word that pops up out of nowhere.

When I realized that it was eyes, I was so frightened that I wanted to call out.

I heard Uncle Yan shouting at the bottom: "There is ......!" ”

But at the same time, the whole passage suddenly shook violently, as if it were about to be earthquaked, and the candles on the ground fell to the ground and went out with a pop because of the violent vibration.

All around me was completely dark.

Just as I tried to hold on to the wall to stabilize my body, I found that the wall that was supposed to exist was empty.

I fell down directly ...... with an unstable center of gravity!
