Chapter Twenty-Four: A Thousand Bells Ring in Unison

Sure enough, there are traps. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info This was originally just a general flap mechanism, and it is very common in the rivers and lakes. But this mechanism is set up very vicious, and this mechanism will not be activated after the person in front of the pathfinder walks in, and the accomplices behind will naturally follow boldly. It was only after a dozen steps down the stairs that the mechanism suddenly activated, and by this time everyone had already fallen in. The man slid down the smooth, steep wall of the cave, and what awaited him was a spear-like metal spike.

After a little discussion, everyone had an idea. Liu Erniang's long snake tail encircled Chu Lingfeng's waist and abdomen, and Chu Lingfeng carefully walked into the stone steps step by step. One, two, three all the way to the thirteenth stone steps, the ground flipped suddenly. Chu Lingfeng was just about to slide down, but he was swept up in mid-air by Liu Erniang's snake tail. Chu Lingfeng clearly saw a dense metal spear popping out from the bottom of the stone steps, and the dense spear pointed at himself Yes, Chu Lingfeng couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Chu Lingfeng hung in the air, and the stone steps flipped over again without pressure, and Liu Erniang put him on the twelfth step. Chu Lingfeng bent down and fumbled for a stone in his hand to get stuck under the thirteenth-order stone steps, and carefully tried it, and all the stone steps really stopped turning. Chu Lingfeng was not at ease, and he used the stone to card a few more stone steps before stopping.

Mr. Jin led the group down the stone steps, only to see that the bottom of the stone steps were densely packed with small holes, and whenever the stone steps were flipped over these holes, spears would pop out and fall down to people and wear them into meat skewers. The little fox was already impatient, and at this time he couldn't help but say, "I'll explore the way first." As he spoke, he ran over the heads of the people and around the corner.

"Slow down, it's dangerous!" Mr. King drank. Chu Lingfeng took a few steps forward directly, grabbed it with his little hand, and fortunately caught the tail of the little fox who had already turned the corner. At this moment, there was a frightened cry of "Ah!" from the little fox. At the same time, Chu Lingfeng felt a sinking in his hand, and a pull came from the little fox's tail. Chu Lingfeng hurriedly straightened his waist and abdomen, his legs were slightly bent, and he stabilized his body with one horse step, and at the same time, he pulled the little fox back with both hands.

"What's going on?" asked the group, looking at the little fox on the ground panting hard, all on guard against sudden danger. At this time, the little fox who was panting replied, "There is no road ahead, it is a cliff." Everyone turned the bend carefully, and sure enough, there was no road ahead, only to see a steep cliff a foot or two away that went straight up and down, and the cliff led to a depth of forty or fifty meters below. If you slide down the stone steps, even if you don't get pierced by the spear, you will fall off the cliff and fall into the flesh.

Looking down from the top of the cliff, you can see a few broken stones, which are the one that Liu Erniang threw down to explore the road, and it seems that there is no mechanism at the bottom of the cliff. Looking ahead, you can see a huge karst cave with countless stalactites, and the faint sound of "ticking" water dripping from the cave is faintly heard. This should be the cave where the coffin of the general is placed in the population of the general's village. Everyone couldn't help but rejoice in their hearts, rushing through the hardships and dangers to finally see the treasure.

Mr. Kim took out the rope, and everyone went down to the bottom of the cliff in turn. On the opposite side is a wide karst cave, ranging from more than ten to twenty meters high. On the top of the cave hang countless crystalline stalactites that resemble sharp swords, sharp cones, or giant axes. A drop of water also drops on the stalactites from time to time, smashing on the stalagmites below to make a melodious and crisp sound of "ding dong, ding dong". The stalagmites on the ground are even more strange, some are like lions and tigers, some are like flowers and trees, some are like churning waves, and some are like waterfalls rushing down.

Everyone was fascinated by this natural beauty, Chu Lingfeng's eyes flashed and said, "Master, what is that?" Everyone looked at each one in response, only to see that there was a small black shadow at the root of each stalactite. Mr. Jin took out a flame talisman and hit it, and saw that it was something that looked like a small black branch. Seeing that there was no danger, Liu Erniang found a stalagmite as tall as a stone pillar and coiled and climbed up. After a while, he took down something that looked like a rusted metal fork and said, "This is it, nailed into the stalactite." "Mr. Kim can't get the point even if he sees it. Although he is known as the first onmyoji, the world is so big, there are many capable people, and he can't know all the strange doors in the world.

Everyone did not know what it was, and seeing that there was no danger for the time being, although they knew that there must be something strange in it, they could not, so they had to be more careful. Moving forward again, there is a small bronze bell of a bucket size hanging between the stalactites for every dozen meters between each grid. Everyone walked by, the small bell did not move, and everyone secretly thought that this was the burial custom here, after all, it is very common to accompany the burial bell and the like in tombs around the world, but most of them are not hung up.

The crowd walked forward, during which countless strange stalagmites blocked the road and made it difficult to walk, but fortunately, the droplets of water dripping from the top of the cave converged into a small stream and meandered forward, and the bank of the stream was fairly flat. Although nothing was found, everyone was still uneasy. Liu Erniang simply transformed into a snake body and walked in front. Mr. Jin also clenched a talisman cushion in his hand. Chu Lingfeng and the little fox were also on guard.

After three or four hundred meters of this, the cave in front of it suddenly narrowed, and a huge bronze bell hung on the narrow passage. This big bell is more than a foot high, thick and four or five people hug each other, hanging high on the top of the cave. The stream flowed silently below, and there was no danger to be seen. Looking through the passage, the front is wide again, and it is a cave full of stalactites. "It seems that the two caves have been opened by the current, everyone be careful and pass through quickly." Mr. Kim said.

Everyone moved forward cautiously, trying not to touch anything, even the ground under their feet was very attentive. Just as everyone walked under the big bell, suddenly the big bell rang "Bang~~, Bang~~~", and the huge bell made everyone's bodies tremble. The bell echoed in the huge cave, and then there rang out an unknown number of bells in response to "bell~~, bell~~~".

"No, let's go!" a shout woke up the crowd who were startled by the sound of the bell, and they rushed out of the bottom of the bell in three steps and two steps. The bell did not fall down, which was a relief, but the bells on all sides were still echoing in the empty cave, and the bells were reverberating back and forth as if they were getting louder and louder. This made everyone at a loss, and Chu Lingfeng couldn't help asking, "Master, where are we going?" Before Mr. Jin could answer, the situation changed again. I saw that with the agitation of the bell, the metal forks that were deeply nailed into the stone stalactites also trembled with "buzz~~~buzz~~~~~". The tremor grew louder and louder, and the tremor of "buzz~~" gradually drowned out the constantly reverberating bell.
