Chapter Twenty-Three: The Abyss
The moment the door closed, my heart beat inexplicably, and the inexplicable fear in my heart was not the fear of death, but the instinctive fear of the unknown.
When we walked through the tomb gate, we saw a tunnel, which was just big enough for the four of us to walk, and as far as the eye could see, it was all obscured by darkness. As the four of us walked inside, the fear grew stronger, and I don't know how long we walked, all we could see was the walls around us and the four of us. The tomb was so deep that we didn't know how long we were going to walk, and the further we went, the darker it became, until we couldn't see our fingers, and then we stopped, because it was quiet, and the silence was terrible.
"Sister, it's dark and deep, are we going the wrong way?" Hu Jiu said angrily. Not only him, but the three of us also felt that something was very wrong here, and it stands to reason that if this passage could not be built so deep, because it would be too labor-intensive, and there was no need, unless the tomb was very large.
"Rest, I always feel like there's something wrong inside, and the further we go inside, the faster my heart beats. "I looked at the way I came, and the way I came was like an escaped snake, gone. My heart sank slowly.
He Yu looked at the surrounding walls, touching them with his hands from time to time, sometimes frowning, sometimes sighing. I looked at the walls and didn't think anything was wrong, just some stone walls.
"Perhaps, there is something wrong with the two gods on that door. He Yu suddenly said at this time, looking at the three of us, his face showing solemnity.
I also thought it wasn't that simple, and looked at him and motioned for him to continue.
"Do you know a "Rush Chapter" of the Yuan clan of the Western Han Dynasty?" He Yu looked at us and said this book, and the three of us didn't know about this book, and shook our heads. Look at him and let him continue.
He Yu continued to explain: "During the time of Emperor Yuan of the Western Han Dynasty, there was an emperor's close attendant named Shi You, who wrote a "Rush Chapter", which recorded: "Shoot evil spirits to ward off evil spirits and eliminate the evil. ”
Yan Shigu, a linguist in the Tang Dynasty, explained that shooting and warding off evil spirits are the names of mythical beasts. It is a divine beast that can drive away evil spirits.
But there has never been a god to be the gatekeeper, even in ancient times, at most, it was to let the divine beast be the evil beast.
Moreover, the god carved in that door has been eroded by the yin qi here for thousands of years, and the evil qi has invaded. I'm afraid it's been assimilated, or at least it's back to the ghost. ”
I feel that this is too evil, if even the gods and Yu Lei are invaded by the yin qi here, then this place is too terrifying, then it is a god.
"But don't worry, after all, they're only carved out the door, not inside. He Yu laughed to ease the atmosphere.
"Okay, let's figure out how to get out of this damn place. "Cui Chuan doesn't care what kind of god or Yu Lei, he just wants to walk out of this gloomy place, and he doesn't want to stay for a second.
We nodded, and hurried back on our way, and after walking for nearly two hours, there was finally a glimmer of light ahead. This light is like a savior, a ray of sunshine in the darkness, and the four of us excitedly speed up our steps towards this light.
As we got closer to our destination, the light grew brighter and brighter, and it was like returning from the place of death to the earth.
"Whew, swooh...... the four of us greedily breathed in the air around us, although the air here was still a little damp, but it was much better than the tunnel filled with a mixture of yin and moisture.
We recovered from this exhaustion and looked up at the surroundings, the sight before us was more shocking than what we had encountered before, and we felt that this place might be even more terrifying than the road we had come.
A space in front of you is a hundred miles in circumference, there is a deep pit at the bottom, the plank road is volleyed, lingering on the stone wall, layer after layer, it is daunting. Even the monks who had never seen each other along the way could be seen here from time to time, they were all walking on the plank path, and the first time we saw them, it was as if we had met relatives, and we were no longer afraid, and we couldn't wait to walk towards one of the monks. As everyone knows, the four of us made the most wrong decision.
As we got closer and closer to the nearest monk, we shouted at him, but he seemed to be inaudible, and we were puzzled, and He Yu and I were slowing down, and we could see that something was wrong in each other's eyes when we looked at each other. But the monk was like a walking corpse, and he only went forward, leaving us to cry behind.
I saw Cui Chuan and Hu Jiu approaching, putting their hands on the man's shoulders, and it was too late for He Yu and I to shout again.
The monk turned his head suddenly, and his face was pitted, his eyes were eyeless, and they were occupied by a large number of disgusting bugs. The hideous face made Cui Chuan and Hu Jiu feel a stomachache and fear when they saw it, and they ran to me without a name.
"Damn, I've met Zongzi!" He Yu's face changed greatly. Fortunately, there is only this one nearby, and when I said it, I kicked it with my foot, this foot contains the power of the late stage of condensation, if ordinary people are hit by this kick, they will definitely die, Cui Chuan and Hu Jiu were shocked to see it, and I also looked at He Yu's foot in surprise, which was no worse than the general late stage of condensation.
But that zongzi is also a mid-stage condensation monk, but at this time he has already changed his body, although he has no moves, his strength has increased, and it is not much worse than the late stage of condensation.
This kick hit the face of the zongzi, only to see the zongzi fly out upside down two or three meters away and hit the ground, quickly got up from the ground, and rushed towards us again. We feel a headache, because this zongzi is not afraid of pain, it is simply perverted.
Just when the zongzi approached He Yu and pounced, Cui Chuan next to him kicked the zongzi from the side with a "Hong Kong foot", and the zongzi flew out upside down again, but the plank road was only two meters wide, and there was a deep pit below, and the zongzi smashed the guardrail and fell down from the plank road. We looked down at the guardrail, and the rice dumplings disappeared from sight.
"Yes, Cui Chuan!" Hu Jiu looked at Cui Chuan in surprise, and Cui Chuan's reaction also made me look at it differently.
"That's, who am I! Touching the golden descendant, just a small zongzi, I'll be afraid? Isn't it, Lao He!" Cui Chuan is the kind of person who shines when he gives a little sunshine, and when he heard Hu Jiu's admiration, he was a little carried away, and the good feeling I just felt angry with him went down instantly.
The corners of He Yu's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this Cui Chuan getting carried away, but he still nodded, indicating that he was excellent for his reaction just now.
He Yu turned his head and opened his backpack, took out a drone from it, and fixed the bright flashlight on it. The drone quickly rose into the air, looked around a circle, we saw through the electronic image that the plank road was nearly 100 monks all zongzi, this discovery made us feel half cold, and then the drone flew down, flying nearly 500 meters, the strong light still could not reflect the light back from the ground, which means that the bottom is too deep, I am afraid that there are 10,000 meters high. This time, I'm afraid that there will be no bones or broken bones.
