Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 57

Lao Yan was sullen and didn't want to talk to me, and the tone of the poisonous snake on the side was not very good: "When the passage is about to be completely removed, I call you back, who knew you would jump on the statue like a demon! Lao Yan pulls the statue alone! If we can't help you, we all came here, but the statue turned out to be a flipper mechanism, and it fell into such a ghost place as soon as it was touched."

Hearing what the poisonous snake said, Lao Yan snorted angrily: "You gave him a long face, if he hadn't pulled us by force, we wouldn't have been trapped!"

The poisonous snake didn't speak anymore, I understood it, I dare to say that they were all dragged down by me, no wonder the old smoke face is so stinky.

"Old Yan, does the spiritual song have the function of creating hallucinations?" I asked strangely.

Although Lao Yan was angry, he still replied to me: "It's hard to say, after all, no one knows why people who hear it can't help humming the tune, and no one knows what happened after hearing the tune. It might be possible to create hallucinations to induce death."

Speaking of this, he glared at me angrily again: "Tell me about you, how many times have you been deceived by hallucinations along the way, why don't you have any ability to fight back?"

"Where is this?" I coughed twice, and hurriedly changed the subject, knowing that if I continued talking, Lao Yan might come up and grab my ear again.

But I really want to figure out what kind of ghostly place this is. It's so dark that I can't see it clearly at all. I can only vaguely see that it's a basement-like place with the light of the flashlight.

Lao Yan still couldn't get angry, and replied "I don't know" in a blunt tone.I looked at the poisonous snake as if asking for help, and the latter also shook his head, saying that they had just landed and hadn't had time to see what the hell it was.

"What about the gunshots?" I felt strange. If I said they were dragged down by me, there would be no reason to shoot them.

Lao Yan suddenly looked at me and asked me if I really heard the gunshot?

I nodded and told them about the hallucination that just appeared: "The gunfire saved my life, otherwise I don't know what will happen after stepping into nothingness."

"We didn't shoot, and we didn't hear the gunshot." The blind man said indifferently, and the other two people also stared at me strangely.

I felt chills from being stared at by them, and I said intermittently: "But, but the gunshots are indeed, indeed, not hallucinations."

I might not be able to feel it when I was in the hallucination before, but now that it has come out, I can be sure that the gunshot must have existed.

Lao Yan said with a sullen face, "That's only Yu Chengze..."

"How is it possible?" I immediately retorted: "Even if it was him, it's impossible for you to not hear him when he fired the gun, right? And why did he save me?"

"Save you? Why didn't you say that he was harming you." Lao Yan snorted coldly: "Okay, let's see where this place is first, and then think about how to get out."

I touched my nose but didn't dare to touch his moldy head, so I had to look around with a flashlight.

This place is not big, about the size of two rooms in an ordinary house, and there are some ceramic utensils scattered here and there, as well as some small copper utensils that have already developed a patina.

"Does this place look like a shadow palace?" When I saw these things, my first reaction was that this place was a place for funeral objects.

Old Yan gave a grunt, and said that they were indeed very similar, and even the number of these ceramic vessels was about the same as those buried with him.

"But why is there a shadow palace under the palace?" He murmured a few words, then shook his head: "Maybe this is the custom of the ancient kingdom of Changye?"

Naturally, I couldn't answer his words, so I just looked around again, and said with a calm face: "If it is the Shadow Palace, then there should be a passage leading to the main tomb. According to the funeral customs thousands of years ago, the passage should be in the shadow palace. Southwest, can you determine the direction now?"

"I can't." Lao Yan shook his head, saying that he had already tried it when he first entered the ancient country, and a slightly more sophisticated instrument could not be used here at all, and it must have been disturbed by a strong magnetic field.

I sighed in disappointment, then walked to the middle of the shadow palace, looked up at the location of the funerary objects: "The most valuable things in the funerary objects are usually placed in the east... Calculated according to the value of the goods at that time, the copper ware should be more expensive than the funeral objects." Ceramics are valuable, so this direction is the east, so the southwest should be here."

After I finished speaking, I walked to the side and tapped my ear against the wall, but the sound that came back was unusually dull, and it didn't look like there was a passage.

I sat on the ground dejectedly: "Why are you trapped here?"

"It's not because of you!" Lao Yan glared at me, and was about to step aside to study the exit.

When Lao Yan said this, I suddenly thought about it, and thought that he said that Yu Chengze might have caused the gunshots, so I grabbed him and asked him if he felt that Yu Chengze had been leading us by the nose since we entered the ancient country?
"Do you still remember that before we entered the palace, I said I saw Yu Chengze?" I hurriedly said, "Do you think it is possible for him to lure us here on purpose?"

"It shouldn't be possible. The reason why we entered the palace was chosen by ourselves. At that time, there were two roads on the left and right, and we chose the one on the left." Lao Yan shook his head, saying that even if Yu Chengze had great abilities, he probably wouldn't. May sway our thinking.

After saying this, he shook his head again, saying that he may not be sure, after all, we have been led by the nose since we entered the desert, anyway, it is better to be careful in everything.

"That's right." I laughed at myself: "Don't you say it, our function is to deal with those guardians, so that he can slowly find the ancient kingdom of the long night. Now that I think about it, his escape is probably a cover-up. It’s just to attract you to send someone over.”

"Yeah, it's a pity that the pioneers of the first two teams didn't meet his request, and the sacrifice was unclear." Lao Yan sighed.

I patted my head suddenly, looked at Lao Yan, Lao Yan was taken aback by me, and asked me what's wrong?
I took a deep breath: "But didn't a team of pioneers enter the ancient country? They followed Yu Chengze."

Lao Yan paused, and suddenly took out the photos of this team from his arms to look at them carefully, and then said with a strange expression: "Could it be that Yu Chengze has already come in once during this period?"

"I'm afraid that's true, but since he came in once, he should be very clear about the location of the Eternal Night Ancient Kingdom, and why did he come in again?" I clicked on the photos, only to feel that thousands of pictures flashed through my mind. Thoughts, but can't grasp one.

Lao Yan didn't understand either, so he said, "I don't know, it seems that we have to re-evaluate what he is going to do."

Before, we thought that he was just trying to find the ancient kingdom of Eternal Night, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Lao Yan put the photo back into his arms: "It seems that only by finding Yu Chengze can we know the truth, and we can't always be led by him."

I asked him what to do now?
He pointed to where we were, and said that we had to find the exit first, and then find a way to get around to the place we just came in.

"If you read correctly before, then Yu Chengze must have been following us all the time, and we can only catch him if we go around the back!" Lao Yan made a fist movement, as if Yu Chengze was already in front of him.

The blind man nodded: "It should be right, you guys rest for a while, and leave it to me to find the exit."

"Can you?" I was a little worried, after all, his eyes are invisible.

Lao Yan smiled and said that because he couldn’t see, it would be more reliable to entrust such a thing to him, because as long as there is a little strange place, he can touch it, unlike us who see with our eyes, but will be deceived by vision.

I understand that I just think it will be faster to find together, so I want to help.

Lao Yan stopped me, saying that what we need to do now is not to disturb the blind man and let him be in a quiet environment.

Now that he has said so, I can't insist anymore, I can only sit and watch the blind man wandering around.

The blind man seemed to have no purpose, sometimes knocking on a wall, sometimes lying on the ground listening to something, I even saw him standing there motionless for about five or six minutes.

"What is he doing?" I couldn't help it, and asked Old Chidao in a low voice.

Lao Yan gestured for silence, and only let me observe quietly.

Curious in my heart, I couldn't help being a little anxious, but I couldn't urge the blind man, so I could only watch like this.

After walking through the entire basement, he slowly walked back and said, "The situation is a bit complicated."

"How complicated?" Lao Yan frowned: "Could it be that there is no exit?"

The blind man shook his head and said, "No, there are many exits."

"A lot?" Lao Yan's expression became even weirder.
