Weird past in the countryside

Chapter 113
The light from the torch clearly illuminated the inside of the sarcophagus. We saw that various patterns and symbols were engraved on the bottom of the sarcophagus. Upon closer inspection, it was actually the same shape as the one on the stone gate.

I raised my head and asked Master: "Is this also a mechanism, isn't the bottom layer a channel?"

Master nodded: "It's very possible, you get out of the way, I'll try."

I carried Xiaoyao out again, moved away a little, and looked at Master.

Master leaned down, followed the method of opening the stone door, and patted the bottom of the sarcophagus a few times.I couldn't see what was going on inside from the outside, so I heard the sound of rattling rattling inside the sarcophagus. Immediately afterwards, I saw Master's face turn from cloudy to sunny, and he broke into a smile.

You don't need to ask to know, there must be good news.When we come here now, we have encountered a dead end, let alone Xiaoyao, and almost died here.So it is undoubtedly the greatest good news for us to be able to find a way forward now.

Everyone hurried up and looked inside together.We found that the bottom plate had been indented halfway like a partition.Just as we were watching, the bottom plate was completely retracted, leaving a dark rectangular hole.

The master probed the torch down again, and found that there were several stone steps below, but it was not too deep.

Needless to say at this point, it is definitely going to go on.I turned around, put Xiaoyao on the ground, and said softly: "Thank you Xiaoyao, you are dead, and you showed us the way."

The fact is also the same, if we didn't want to put Xiaoyao into the sarcophagus, we wouldn't have discovered this secret passage.Yu Ling'er also said: "I'm sorry Xiaoyao, I didn't let you live in a coffin at the end. In the next life, you can be a human being, and we will be good friends."

Letting go of Xiaoyao means that it will completely leave me.I turned my head three times a step, and followed Master down the stone steps under the sarcophagus.

Due to the narrow terrain, we lined up in a single file and walked down the stone steps one by one.When I got to the bottom, I found that the space is also very narrow, and can only accommodate one person to pass through, and it is easy to touch the cold stone wall next to it.

Master walked ahead holding a torch and shouted to us: "One by one, pay close attention to the surrounding situation."

Wei Meng walked at the end, and the rest of us walked in the middle, following Master.We found that the further we go, the larger the space and the wider the road.And the height of the top of the head is getting higher and higher.

The master looked up and said, "We seem to have walked into the mountain."

I was a little excited: "Master, are we getting closer to the underground palace?"

Master said: "It must be so. Please be careful, look at what's going on around you, and pay more attention."

We walked and watched, moving forward at a slow speed, and the space was getting bigger and bigger. When we got to the end, we looked up, and the mountain above us was already high and dark, and we couldn’t see it clearly with the light of the torch. up.

Although there were some potholes on the road, fortunately there were no forks in the road, and we were able to move forward smoothly.With the enlargement of the space, the light of the torch appears very small, like a little spark dotted in the night sky.We move forward with the spark.

Master was walking in front, but suddenly stopped in his tracks.We gathered around and found that we had encountered another obstacle in front of us.A gable wall blocked the way.

Seeing that the hope was about to be shattered in the end, everyone gathered together, a little downcast.

Wei Meng was so angry that he kicked the wall blocking the way.Others also scratched their heads, helpless.

Just when we were at our wits end, suddenly there was a sound of thumping and thumping from behind me.I was so scared that I rushed out, and everyone was also attracted by the sound, staring closely behind me.

Behind me is the gable wall that was kicked by Wei Meng, and now on that gable wall, mud clods are falling down, whole chunks.

Ning Xiaoyue was a little scared: "Master Yuan, did Wei Meng kick this place down? Let's run."

The master stared at the falling mud, then looked at the mountain, and shouted: "It's okay, hurry up, everyone, get rid of all the mud."

We couldn't hide our excitement when we heard Master's tone, and hurriedly knocked and kicked to get rid of the mud sticking to the gable wall bit by bit.Finally, a door appeared in front of us.The master was ecstatic, and hurriedly instructed us to clean up the mud stains on the gate, and put the torch close to watch carefully.

Because the mud on the gate has just been peeled off, the color of the gate is still black, but judging from the outline of the gate, it looks like an ancient palace gate.There are densely arched protrusions on the palace gate.

Now we have enough reason to believe that behind this palace gate is the underground palace we have been looking for.Although I haven't seen the whole picture of the underground palace, just standing in front of the gate of the underground palace, I can feel the majesty of the underground palace.Because this palace gate can be described as extraordinary: a dragon and a phoenix are engraved on both sides of the gate, winding on both sides of the gate, which looks very noble; the handle is also carved with a dragon head, containing two copper rings.

I looked at the gate of the underground palace and said to Master: "Master, I have seen the gate of the underground palace that Ling Yunfei led his subordinates into, and this one doesn't quite look like it."

The master said: "The one you saw, didn't the mountain collapse. I think it is very likely that that is only the first door. This door should also lead to the underground palace, but it is hard to say which door it is."

I suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said to Master: "Then Ling Yunfei told me that if we opened the gate of the underground palace, they would no longer be able to guard the defense line of the village, he said they would return to the underground palace. Does that mean that Xiaosan and his gang will attack the stockade and find this place soon?"

The master nodded and pondered for a while, then said: "What should come will eventually come. We can't stop them from coming. We just hope to find Xue Ruyi before they come."

Stick asked: "Then, when shall we open this gate?"

The master said: "Look at the surrounding environment. This door is the only way to enter the underground palace. It must be opened. But once it is opened, it means that there are more dangers inside, and we will also face the threat of the third party." .Everyone should prepare early."

After hearing this, everyone felt pressured.But at the gate, we didn't have time to think too much. We walked to the gate and began to push hard.

I thought that this gate was as strong as the Shimen just now, and there would be some kind of mechanism.The result was far beyond our expectations. Under our concerted push, the door creaked open.

We didn't dare to open the door too wide, for fear of any danger inside.Just after we opened the door a crack, a head suddenly protruded from the crack, and at the same time, the body squeezed out along the crack.

Although we had been prepared for a long time, this sudden change happened a little too soon. We were so frightened that we shouted repeatedly, retreated a few meters away, and put our weapons across our chests, waiting for the battle.

The man squeezed through the crack of the door, and when he saw us stepping back, he dodged and hid behind the door.

We also froze on the spot, not knowing how to respond.I asked everyone: "Have you seen clearly? Who is that person?" Mu Stick said timidly from the side: "Why do I look like that subordinate of yours?"

"Who? Wotai?" I didn't believe it.

Master also said, "That's right, I think so too."

"Why is he here?" I had clearly seen him in the ghost town above.

Master said: "Are you confused? Didn't you say that if we opened the gate of the underground palace, the souls of Ling Yunfei and his gang would return to the underground palace?"

Master's words also reminded me, so this gate is really the gate of the underground palace. After we opened it, the ghost town will no longer exist, and Xiaosan and the others will soon come after them.

In order to verify Master's words, I shouted into the gate: "Is it Wo Tai? I am Ling Yunfei, President Qian."

The master couldn't laugh or cry: "Stop shouting, you were a soul when you met them, but now you are a human being, you can't communicate."

I said: "Well, let me go in and see first. If it is really Wo Tai, I don't think he will do anything to me."

The master nodded: "Right now, that's the best we can do. For those of us, it's safer for you to go in."
