Evil Spirit Book

Chapter 56 Stone Steps

I felt that something was wrong, so I immediately walked towards the entrance mentioned by Bada with the lantern in hand. Only then did I realize that the so-called entrance was actually a downward-sloping hole, half of which was submerged in the water. Said, the cave we are in now should also be located underwater.

Bada also followed behind, saying: "We should be thrown up from here, but I don't know if those things on the water have receded, and I guess it will take a while before we can go up." Then he asked me why the butterflies disappeared. up.

As soon as I mentioned this, I woke up suddenly, and I had no time to think about where the ghost Chen had slipped away, so I had to tell Bada and the thin man what happened to us in a heavy tone. After Bada listened, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning , her lips trembled a little: "You said... Die Cai she..."

I couldn't bear it, but I had to nod and said, "I didn't protect her well, sorry."

The thin man's face was not good-looking, but he was still the calmer one, and said, "Die Cai's injury has nothing to do with you, but it's your fault if you let her go alone." Do I have to get on my knees and beg her?But the matter has developed to this stage, I really don't have the heart to say who is right and who is wrong, so I said: "She is injured now, if she doesn't go out for treatment, she will definitely die of infection, we have to find a way to find her, and bring her She's out."

Bada also recovered, with a heavy expression, and sighed: "Okay, after you find someone, please brother Chen bring Die Cai back to the village, and the two of us will continue to find Qizhu them."

I thought about it, Die Cai's direction of action should actually be the same route as Qi Zhu and the two. Firstly, no one knows where the old stone is, and secondly, Qi Zhu and Qi Zhu will inevitably leave behind some It is impossible for Diecai to scurry around in the water hole, she will definitely continue to follow Qizhu and the other two like us.

No, maybe it was one person, because the ghost Chen said that in this water hole, there has been an extra fresh dead person.

The three of us discussed it, and then counted the equipment we were carrying.

There are two ropes, three bamboo knives, and one lantern. There was food prepared on the bamboo raft, but most of it was scattered in the water during the process of tracking Qizhu. Now we have water ready, but there is no food.

Due to the emergency situation, Die Cai's life may be in danger at any time, so after some discussion, we decided to leave a mark along the way to prevent the ghost Chen from falling behind. Immediately afterwards, we walked forward holding the lantern.

The water hole we are now in is also relatively humid. The water hole presents an irregular square shape, as if it has been manually polished, but if you look closely, you can't find obvious traces of tools, probably for a long time. Rishen, even if there are traces, it is estimated that it will not be preserved for long.

Originally our plan was to swim back to the surface of the water, but firstly, we don’t know if those spiders will chase after them, secondly, the shape of this water hole has some artificial signs, and I thought about the previous speculation again, He couldn't help but be more sure, if that stone of immortality really existed, then there was a high chance that it was the bottom of the only hole.

Most of these water holes are formed by geological movements. Geographically, they are called cave-shaped holes. These holes are staggered inside the mountain, forming natural caves, where wild animals often gather. The deeper the cave, the more likely some bizarre things will emerge.

I once heard that such a cave-shaped hole was found in the deep mountains of Shennongjia, Hubei. Later, some scholars believed that the hole was formed for a very long time, and there may be traces of early human activities in it.

In order to prove this conjecture, a group of geologists and archaeologists were organized to go in. As a result, only two people came out alive. According to the description of the two people later, there were no traces of early human activities in the cave, but they met many sojourners. The wild creatures inside, many of which have never been heard of before, and later, no one went to that cave again.

However, although we are now in the same landform, fortunately, it has been covered by water for a long time, and the things that can come out of the water are limited, so there should not be too much danger, and our luck is obviously stronger than that group of scholars, at least We can clearly see that there are traces of human activities here.

Along the way, every time I walked a certain distance, I would leave a mark on the wall, and use a bamboo knife to carve a crooked Chen character on the stone wall, so as to tell the ghost Chen our movements.

He has always been an unpredictable person. When he met the beauty of the Republic of China, he said that he would not waste time on me, which caused me to be harassed by the beauty of the Republic of China. But before that, he was willing to return to the spider group to save me. , This is really intriguing, I thought to myself: Is it because I am so charming that I have subdued the ghost Chen without knowing it?

This thought is just a flash, I still know how much I have, and I guess it's about the same that he subdued me.

This water tunnel is straight forward, but after walking for a long time, I felt my heart jumping, because the further the tunnel went, the lower the terrain, and gradually, layers of simple stone steps were exposed.

These stone steps have obviously been washed by water for a long time, and the edges have become very rounded and slippery. If you step on it, there is a danger of falling. Moreover, the stone steps are very thin and short. Like landscape stone steps in a large park.

The light of the wind lamp was relatively dim, and the stone steps stretched downwards, and I don't know how high it was. After looking down from the light of the wind lamp, I saw a layer of black air, foggy, like a huge black vortex.

The stone steps are very slippery, so you have to be very careful when stepping on them. Fortunately, I wear newly bought long hiking boots, which are relatively non-slip. Bada and Shouzi wear cloth shoes handmade by Nayizhai. The national atmosphere is strong, but walking on these stone steps is quite choking.

Finally, I went to the front to open the way and let them walk slowly behind.

The more you go down, the more orderly the planning around the cave wall is. If the cave was originally in an irregular direction, then now, the four sides of the cave have completely become a regular square. We seem to be walking in a subway passage. Of course, This subway channel is quite old.

I held the wind lamp, supported the stone wall with one hand, and walked down the steps carefully. The dark place below was like a huge vortex, and at first glance, the black vortex was still flowing, like a black hole. As if someone swallowed it.

The more I looked at it, the more I felt uncomfortable. I always felt that there was a problem down here, like walking into the mouth of a monster.

At this moment, Bada behind me whispered, "What do you say these stone steps are for?"

The thin man was taciturn and didn't say a word.I speculated: "Didn't you say that there were people living here? The owner must have a place to store food and things? I think this is like a basement, and it probably stores things."

Bada said: "I don't think so. These stone steps are not for people to walk at all. If the bottom is really a place to store things, these stone steps are not convenient."

The thin man said: "It's not for people to go, maybe it's for ghosts." His voice was rather cold, and he couldn't hear what it meant, as if he was mocking Bada's words.I was intimidated by the beauties of the Republic of China, and now I am most jealous of people mentioning ghosts and gods to me. When I heard this, I immediately felt unlucky, and felt even more uncomfortable.

But what they said reminded me that what the ancient people needed to store could not be property and food, and half of the food accounted for most of it and needed to be taken frequently. If this is really a place to store things, it stands to reason that the stone steps should be repaired It's good for walking, but this place... doesn't seem to be for walking.

The more I read it, the more I felt that what Bada said made sense, and I couldn't help but feel curious, what's going on here?

Although these cave-shaped holes have natural geographical advantages and are suitable for internal renovation, for the ancients thousands of years ago, it was really not possible to complete such a thin and dense layer of steps overnight.

The ancients lived at the bottom and generally paid attention to practicality. This kind of landscape-shaped ladder is not applicable at all when it is repaired in this place.
