Chapter 182 Ghost Blowing Lamp?
The torch rolled forward a few times, illuminating the road ahead, and Xiao Ran couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat when he looked at it.

Thanks to Liu Shengli's sudden scream, they stopped in time.If he took a few more steps forward, at least he himself would be beyond redemption.

He originally thought that the iron gates in this circle were connected by a complete passage, but at this time, when the torch fell on the ground, he found that the connection between the two iron gates had been damaged, and there was a gap in the middle. It is more than a meter wide, and below it is an invisible abyss.

The light of the torch is too weak, not only the light distance is short, but the range is also limited.Xiao Ran wanted to have a torch, so he was not in a hurry to change the batteries for the flashlight, after all, he didn't know how long he would have to stay in this deep underground palace before he could find a way out, so he could save a little.But in the current situation, modern technology is more reliable.

He hurriedly replaced the battery of the wolf-eye flashlight, and then illuminated the hall again, finally getting a general understanding of the whole picture here.

The entire hall is basically built in the air. In front of each iron gate built on the stone wall, there is a fan-shaped stone platform extending forward, connected to the platform with the big box in the center by short stone steps.Every two iron gates are also connected by a narrow passage close to the stone wall.

It's just that most of the stone steps and passages connecting these areas have been damaged and become ravines leading to the abyss.

On the platform in front of those iron gates, there were scattered clothes and bones.Xiao Ran illuminated the area in front of him with a flashlight, and there were small tooth marks all over the bones, which seemed to be caused by those red-eyed mice grinding their teeth.But on the broken clothes, there were many obvious paw prints and big holes, which should have been bitten by some kind of beast with fangs and sharp claws.

Xiao Ran looked in the direction that Liu Shengli's trembling hand pointed, and saw that on these large pillars carved from natural logs, there were many cages hanging above them with iron chains, and there were complete human skeletons inside.

Xiao Ran pulled Liu Shengli up, pointed to the skeleton in the cage and said, "That's it? Scared you like this? You asked me about mummy before, a pair of dead bones almost made you pee your pants?"

Liu Shengli waved his hands again and again: "No... no, there was really a dead person just now, hanging on that pillar, with two white eyeballs protruding, and there is still flesh and hair on his body..."

Xiao Ran hurriedly waved his hand to stop him from continuing to say: "Don't create a tense atmosphere, do you see any fleshy dead people here? You have scared yourself into hallucinations..."

Xu Er suddenly said: "Xiao...Xiao Gang, I seem to have seen it too. But I didn't see it that clearly, and when I turned around, I saw a lot of hair going up the pillar..."

Xiao Ran flashed a flashlight and took a careful look at the top. There was indeed a small distance between the top of the pillar and the undecorated stone top, but it didn't look like it could hide a person.

He was a little terrified by the descriptions of these two people, but now he can only cheer them up and say: "We don't care what's in it, let's find a way out first."

He looked around and found two oil lamps on the wall next to the iron gate, and there was also that kind of black lamp oil floating inside, so he lit it with a torch, and the area they were in finally had some light.

"Let's follow the sound of the water first, maybe we can find a way out."

The break in front was only more than one meter wide, and the three of them easily jumped over it, avoiding the broken bones on the ground and walking to the iron gate.Liu Shengli imitated what Xiao Ran did just now, and lit the oil lamps on both sides of the door, as if there was more light, there would be more hope.

The sound of water came from behind the door. It seemed that there was a pattering sound of water not only behind the door, but also under the platform.Xiao Ran pulled the door, the lock was already slightly loose, pieces of rusted powder fell from the crack of the door to the ground.

Xiao Ran raised his head and looked at the two people beside him. Liu Shengli was still timidly holding up the torch to illuminate the surroundings, as if he was afraid of seeing a ghost, but wished he could really see a ghost.Since Xu Er entered the hall and saw the big box on the stone platform in the middle for the first time, his eyes have been rolling around that box.

Xiao Ran knew that he was thinking about the medicine for his younger brother again. Although Xiao Ran himself wanted to know what was in that box, it was important to find the way first, otherwise if there was any golden jade or panacea, they would I can't take it out either.

He carefully looked around the door, but found no trace of a mechanism, so he ordered the two to lean back, and he pulled the copper handle on the door and yanked it.

The door was pulled open with a "clang", shaking and creaking non-stop due to inertia.Behind the iron gate is a narrow passage that extends slightly upwards. In the center of the passage is a groove that has been eroded by flowing water all year round.The thin water flows along the groove to the back of the iron gate, and then flows down a small hole leading to the bottom. It seems that the sound of water flow below the platform comes from here.

"Mom!"

Xiao Ran was about to enter the iron gate to have a look, but Liu Shengli rushed into the gate first, ignoring the slippery stone on the ground, stumbled back inside the gate, and pointed at the iron gate that he had entered before.

Xiao Ran turned his head and saw that the oil lamps on both sides of the iron door had been extinguished. He did not expect that the oil in the oil lamps was not durable.

"There are... ghosts, blow out the lights..." Liu Shengli's voice was already crying.

In an instant, the words "Ghost Blowing Lamp" flashed across Xiao Ran's mind, making him tremble.He took a careful look around the door with a flashlight, but he didn't see any ghosts.He thought to himself that he hadn't opened the coffin, and the oil lamp wasn't a candle, let alone it was in the southeast corner. If a ghost really came and blew the oil lamp, it wouldn't hurt him.

Even if there is a ghost, there is no need to blow the lantern to see off the guests. He wants to leave here more than a ghost.

He saw Liu Shengli shaking like chaff, and asked him what he saw.Liu Shengli once again said that he saw the white-eyed ghost with disheveled hair lying on the wall and blew out the oil lamp.Xu Er didn't see any black hair this time, but said that at the moment the light went out, he seemed to see a black shadow flashing by.

"Don't worry about what's inside, let's go first."

As soon as Xiao Ran finished speaking, Liu Shengli hurriedly supported the wet mountain walls on both sides of the passage, and hurriedly climbed up.Xiao Ran asked Xu Er to follow Liu Shengli closely, while he followed behind.

He stood at the iron gate holding a flashlight and took a careful look around. After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he silently called the artifacts.Yin Yang Jing denied the existence of evil things, and Locking Soul Ding Lingzhu also said that there is no voice of the soul.

As for Yarrow Jiukuo and Guan Shandao, they are of no use in this kind of thing.

Xiao Ran held the flashlight in his mouth, stepped on the slippery and mossy ground, and walked up the mountain walls on both sides.Just after walking five or six steps, I suddenly heard two soft blowing sounds of "huhu" from behind.

He turned around quickly, just in time to see the light on the ground outside the iron gate flickering a few times, and then suddenly went out.
