The years of reselling the haunted house

Chapter 1000

I held that earthen gun, and I couldn't laugh or cry in my heart. If this thing is easy to use, the big and strong will not be like that.

But if they don't take it, they don't feel at ease.So I took the gun and straddled my body, so I could be bolder.

I stood on the soft ladder, exposed the upper half of my body, and nodded to everyone: "Okay, I'm going down."

Meng Baolu bowed deeply to me: "Master, people of Sanyangpu Village, thank you. We pray together, Master, you can come back triumphantly, and the whole village will celebrate your achievements at that time."

Pang Dahai also said with concern: "Boss, you have to promise me that you will come back safely."

I smiled: "Don't worry. I'm not a fool. I'll retreat when I see danger. I'm sure of that."

After finishing speaking, I waved to the little mason: "Shi Jin, let's go."

I held the ladder with my hand, stepped on the wooden stick on the ladder, and moved down the hole step by step.

When I went down to a depth of about two meters, the little mason Shi Jin also stepped down from above on the soft ladder.

At the same time, he grabbed a handful of glutinous rice and threw it down from above.

The glutinous rice fell down from behind me without a sound, as if it disappeared in the air, and there was no sound of landing.

I think maybe it's because it's so high from the bottom that the glutinous rice can't hear any sound when it hits the ground.

As I went down slowly, I illuminated it with my headlamp, and found that the inside of the cave wall seemed to be very wet, and there was a layer of water vapor on it.It feels cool to the touch, a little icy.

As time went on, I got farther and farther away from the entrance of the cave.I looked up from below, and beyond the body of the little mason above, I could only see a ray of light coming through the hole. This feeling of sitting in a well and looking at the sky is very bad, and I feel that I am entering an unknown and isolated world.

And as I get closer to the bottom, the light coming in from the hole gets dimmer, and I seem to be swallowed by darkness.Only the light from the headlamp above my head can make me feel a little bit at ease.

At this time, I was very lucky to let the little mason come down with me.Otherwise, if I was the only one in this cave, the loneliness and the fear of the unknown would be enough to break people's spirits.

This fear is all because of that unknown.How can it be possible to say that you are not afraid?Even if I came down with sufficient preparation, this kind of process is enough to make people dread.Sometimes, death is not terrible, what is terrible is the process of dying, that kind of suffering is absolutely incomprehensible to ordinary people.

My heart was beating more and more violently, and the stone gold not far from my head didn't know if it had my fear.Fortunately, he kept grabbing the glutinous rice and sprinkled it down. This kind of glutinous rice can pull out the poison of the corpse and also have some effect of warding off evil spirits.Although I don't know how effective this is, it can give me a little comfort, at least it's better than doing nothing.

As we went further and further down, there seemed to be no weird sounds under the cave.Instead, the surroundings were eerily quiet.At first, I could still hear their voices above the burrow, but now that's gone.

This kind of stillness, for me, can only escalate my sense of fear.I also understand that when Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang came down, they must have encountered the same experience. I don’t know if they would choose to take the risk to go down the cave if they were given another choice.

Thinking of this, I smiled wryly, this assumption no longer exists.They don't have a second chance to choose, and I'm doing the first.In this situation, I still have the time to think about others.

All I could hear was my own heavy breathing and even the beating of my heart.On the contrary, Shi Jin's breathing was still very even, as if his mood hadn't been affected in any way.

I raised my head and asked in a low voice: "Shi Jin, how is your side?"

"Brother, I'm fine here. What's the problem?"

"No. It is estimated that we are about to reach the bottom of the cave. I remind you to be careful. How much glutinous rice is there?"

"There's still half a bag left. I guess it should be enough."

"That's good. Remember, when it's over, don't come down first, and watch the movement before talking."

I explained to Shi Jin again, and continued to hold on to the ladder, heading down towards the bottom of the cave.

What should come will always come, suddenly my feet sank, my heart moved, and I tried my best to explore the ground below. The ground was very solid, and I stopped easily, which meant that I should have reached the bottom.

I shone my headlamp upwards and shook it, indicating to Shi Jin that my side had come to the end.

The headlight shone back on the ground, and sure enough, I saw the dark ground, with potholes and moss growing in many places.

I took two deep breaths and found that the air below was not very fresh, and there was a smell of dampness and corruption.But this is also normal, there is no sunlight all year round, and it is underground, so it is good to have air to breathe.

I seized the time, took out another piece of Buddhist incense from my bag, squatted on the ground and lit the incense.

The incense was lit up, and a puff of green smoke came out.

I watched the blue smoke nervously, and found that the smoke lingered around the incense burner for a while, then rose slowly and drifted towards the top of the cave.

I breathed a sigh of relief, the situation was the same as when I was at the entrance of the cave, which meant that the evil spirit below was no longer so heavy.

Shi Jin above also noticed that the green smoke was going upwards.So he also walked down the ladder step by step according to our original agreement, and stepped on the ground of the cave.

"Brother, everything is normal." Shi Jin said something, and he was reporting to me.

I nodded, and shone a little farther away with my headlamp.

Under the halo of the headlights, a long and narrow passage extends to a farther direction.

Obviously, there is a hole in the sky below. The position under our feet is just the first stop of this mysterious cave.

And of course our task is not just to stay here.

I gestured towards the narrow passage ahead.

This boy Shi Jin is very smart, he quickly understood what I meant, he reached out and grabbed a handful of glutinous rice, and sprinkled it in the direction of the passage.

According to the old village chief, after Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang came down, about a few minutes later, there were exclamations and gunshots. It was obvious that something terrible happened to them at that time.

But we stopped in place for a few minutes, but neither saw nor heard anything unusual.Not sure if those sticky rice we sprinkled did the trick.

It's just that during these few minutes, the sound didn't seem to spread here, it was surprisingly quiet, terrifyingly quiet.
