C113 Underground Ghost City

The entrance was very hidden. It was an old mansion that was already half collapsed. There was a ragged old man sitting outside the house, and when we entered he only looked up at us and then lowered his head as if he were dozing.

This was definitely out there to keep watch. In order to prevent any unexpected situations, this kind of arrangement was also within reason.

"Leave two people to guard outside while the rest go in." We stood in front of a dried up well in the courtyard.

Li Zhan very straightforwardly jumped in. It was obviously not his first time here, and he was very familiar with everything below.

The walls of the dry well were inlaid with simple handrails that could be used for people to climb up and down. The eleven of them went down one after another. What appeared in front of them was a staircase that led down.

Perhaps it was because he had been in this darkness for a long time, but the stairs were very damp and smooth. If he were to walk on them, if his lower body was a little unstable, he might directly roll down.

"This underground space is very large, there is a hidden river that runs through the entire space. The four paths and eight paths are like a maze. Even those who come here frequently, if they accidentally drill into any small water path, they might be trapped inside it and never be able to come out. "

Zhou Lao Er acted as the commentator, telling me some of the things related to Underground Ghost City.

"Huge? "How big is it?" I asked curiously after walking for half a day on the stairs. Zhou Dunyi was startled, he opened his mouth wide, then closed it again, as though he was thinking about how to explain it to me.

After a long while, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence, "It's very big, so big that no one knows how big it is."

"Could it be that no one is going to explore?" The Underground Ghost City, just by hearing this name, should be an extraordinary place.

Zhou Dunyi shook his head when he heard this, and said: "There has always been an endless stream of explorers, but many people have mysteriously disappeared. There will also be a few lucky fellows who managed to return alive, but they won't be able to bring back much useful information. The discovery of this place was truly made by killing people. No one knows what's waiting for them in the darkness. "

"It sounds like something, but is this space formed naturally or is it man-made? I think it's the latter. It's a really big project. "

Just as Zhou Dunyi had said, if this place had truly existed for several thousand years, it would be hard to imagine just how this space had been excavated in the ancient times. Even now, in this era where technology was very developed, excavating such an underground space was not an ordinary task.

Not to mention anything else, just how was he going to move the soil out of the cave was already a big problem.

"Both. Many of the underground spaces should have existed in the first place, and some people must have artificially connected those underground spaces that exist naturally. "

"That person is either a fool or a lunatic."

"He must be crazy. During the Tang Dynasty, this place was famous for its work in the West Beijing. He probably had other intentions."

As we were talking, the stairs were done. We stood on a flat, fan-shaped ground. In front of us was a calm surface of water. It seemed very cold.

I raised my head to look at the space we were in. The space here was around twenty meters high. Combined with the fog that curled up in front of us, it gave me a feeling of vastness.

"Extinguish all the flashlights. Use a fire piston." Li Zhan moved his muscles and bones to account to his subordinates who were holding flashlights and shining everywhere. Not everyone in this group of people has come to Underground Ghost City before. Looking at their expressions, I am sure that at least half of them do not know where this place is.

"There's an unwritten rule in the underground space: only open fire can be used." Zhou Dunyi turned his head and explained to me. In an instant, all of the torches had been extinguished, leaving behind only a few lumps of flames that barely managed to cool down the area a few feet away from him.

"It feels quite eerie. It's filled with a thick infernal energy." I held a small jade snake in the palm of my hand and blew on it, its tongue slowly turning black.

"Silver Snake Exploring the Road!?" Zhou Dunyi stared at my movements, his eyes immediately lighting up. Seeing me nod, he said, "I saw a friend use this move last time, but he used Silver Snake."

"The silver serpent and the jade serpent are in different directions." The silver serpent and the jade serpent are in different directions. Looking at the boundless smell of sleep in front of me, I asked again, "This place seems to be completely empty of birds' shit. How do I get there?"

"If a bird doesn't know how to poop, it's fine as long as a person poops here!" Zhou Dunyi shrugged his shoulders.

He put his hand in his mouth and made a loud hooligan whistle, the sound bouncing off the stone walls and echoing off into the distance. Before one was finished, a second whistle sounded, followed by a third.

The whole space was suddenly filled with the wailing of ghosts and the howling of wolves. The strong whistles and weak whistles overlapped and collided, turning into an extremely disorderly sound that made people feel extremely uncomfortable.

"We've called three ships. Wait here, the boat will be here soon."

Zhou Dunyi's words were quite reliable. Before long, the three torch-lit boats came swaying through the fog on the surface of the water, and then quietly approached the shore. The masked boatman stood at the stern without a word, as if completely ignoring the existence of our group.

"Get on board." Zhou Dunyi said, and was the first to extinguish the fire piston and jump onto the small boat moored in front of him.

There are four people on a boat, Zhou Dunyi and I, as well as two of his subordinates. Li Zhan brought three people onto the other boat, while the remaining four jumped onto the third boat.

"Go to hell." As Zhou Dunyi said that, he took out a few hundred dollar bills and threw it into the money box beside him. The boatman did not say a word, he waved his oar and entered the mist.

Just as Zhou Dunyi had said, the Underground Ghost City was completely connected to him through the underground river. The surface of the dark river was extraordinarily wide, and it was hard to imagine that the underground river formed by nature would actually look very regular. The surrounding flat stone walls were completely devoid of any traces of being excavated.

The boatman shook the boat and carried us through this underground maze. I stared at my surroundings in an attempt to memorize the route we had taken, but in the end, I had no choice but to give up. This was an underground Venice. Of course, Venice was not as complicated as this, and it was not as cold as this place.

"Sit down first!" Zhou Dunyi pressed on my shoulder, and in front of us was a water tunnel that was only a meter tall. It was extremely wide, and I was unable to fathom how wide it was, it was as though a huge boulder was embedded at the top of a wide space, causing the surroundings to instantly become oppressive.

When the boat actually entered the one-meter-tall tunnel, my heart felt like it had been struck by a heavy hammer, making it hard for me to breathe.

The boatman was also seated at the stern of the boat. He was still wearing the mask and didn't say a word. It was impossible to see what kind of expression the face behind the mask had.

Zhou Dunyi seemed to have adapted to this situation long ago, as he remained calm in this sleeping tunnel. The remaining two behaved exactly as I did.

It's so depressing, I don't know how to describe it except by depressing myself. Raising my head, I saw that the distance between my head and the stone wall was less than a foot, practically sticking to the top stone wall.

"If this suddenly falls down, we will be dead devils." After a long time, I finally felt better, so I jokingly said something.

The moment I said those words, the boatman's dull eyes suddenly sharpened. He stared at me fixedly with eyes that couldn't conceal the hostility within.

"If you still want those eyes of yours, I advise you to be honest." Zhou Dunyi was not a good person, he looked at the boatman and gloomily said a few words. The boatman looked at him, and sure enough, his eyes became lifeless once again.

This was truly a world where the strong preyed on the weak. There was no logic to this at all, only whether one's strength was strong enough, one's character was vicious enough, and one's methods were vicious enough.

I doubtfully looked at Zhou Dunyi, who said to me, "Don't spout nonsense underground. This kind of place is normally very evil, and using a phrase from a sect, it's very possible that your words will follow the law. And to put it more simply, the crow's beak is too black here. "

"Following orders?" "It's a little interesting." I couldn't help but smile. This is the first time I've heard of such things underground.

"There's no harm in being a little more cautious. Everyone has their own taboos, and this time, we've come in a hurry." Seeing my undeniable attitude, Zhou Dunyi stressed a few words.

I nodded. "Alright. I think I know more about these things than you do, right? But have you thought that the fear and dread that everyone has from the bottom of their hearts may have caused this jinx situation? "

There were many evils in the world that were created by humans. This kind of fear would evolve into something that existed in the underworld, and eventually become reality under the psychological influence of a group of people.

The human mind itself could evolve many things, and when people with this kind of thought gathered together, as long as a certain number of people reached it, the fear and the fear would become a reality.

Buddhism said that the world is full of evil and evil, and that it arises from the heart. If the heart is like a mirror, then dust will be difficult to stain. The Confucius said that the Righteous Qi could repel Demonic Ghosts. As for the people, there was a similar saying everywhere. There was a wise man who wanted to leave a clear world when he conveyed these thoughts, but he couldn't resist the dark side that was inherent in human nature.

It was just like Pandora's box. Even though he knew that the box contained evil, he still opened it.

Actually, what was locked inside Pandora's Box was the evil of human nature. When it was opened, everyone thought they had been infected with it, and all kinds of greed and evil began to spread nonstop.

"You can say that, but anyone with intelligence can understand this. However, in this world, there are many fools, and the fear of fools is often the strongest."

Zhou Dunyi shook his head. No one could do something like this, the unbreakable rules have already been formed. What we can do is to let ourselves live through the rules.
