"En." Wu Jian replied.

The long-clothed man also came over, looked at the footprints on the ground for a while, looked at Wu Jiandao suspiciously: "I didn't find anything."

"I didn't notice either." Huang Xiaolong continued.

Wu Jian looked up at Huang Xiaolong and said, "Haven't found it yet?"

Huang Xiaolong looked at it seriously again, and I looked at it too, and even made a gesture with my feet, but still found nothing.

Wu Jian had no choice but to explain: "The feet are reversed."

I was stunned for a moment, and then I realized it, so I stretched out my other foot to gesture. Wu Jian was speechless and said, "Can you put both feet on it?"

"Oh..." I put both feet up according to what Wu Jian said, and I found the problem. The footprints on the ground came out step by step, but the footprints of each step were reversed. The left foot became the right foot. It is impossible for the right foot to become the left foot. Whether a person walks backwards or forwards, the left and right feet cannot be reversed.

Unless two people are walking, one person leaves the footprint of the right foot, and the other leaves the footprint of the left foot.

"Damn, how did this come out?" Huang Xiaolong also discovered the problem.

"I don't know, but I think we should consider changing the road." Wu Jian stood up and directly suggested changing the road.

The man in the gown nodded, and I also agreed. After all, we can't stand the trouble now. If it's not that we can't get out, I'd rather leave immediately.

Just when everyone agreed to leave and change the road, there was a sudden sound of heavy footsteps behind the outside, and the sound should be coming towards us.

"What should I do?" Wu Jian said with a serious expression.

"Wait here, we have so many masters, dare to stab them, just kill them directly." Huang Xiaolong said his suggestion.

I also nodded and said: "I don't know what danger will be ahead, so I might as well wait here."

"Okay" Wu Jian nodded, so we all turned to the wall on one side, silently waiting for the heavy-footed master to approach.

The footsteps became clearer and clearer, but I didn't feel too nervous, perhaps because there were so many people, and most of them had recovered their abilities.

The sound of footsteps approached, and Wu Jian used a flashlight to shine a light on them, but there was nothing. I felt very strange. The sound of footsteps was clearly in front of me, but I couldn't see anything. My heart moved, and I said to Sister Hua: "Sister Hua, Did you see anything?"

Sister Hua also looked puzzled and shook her head. The sound of footsteps approaching and then going away, we couldn't see him, it seemed that he couldn't see us either, the footsteps didn't change at all, it's not so much invisible, it's better to say that it doesn't exist at all.

"Could it be an echo?" Huang Xiaolong was also very puzzled.

"No." Wu Jian replied affirmatively, and the flashlight shone on the ground. Only then did I realize that the footprints on the ground became clearer, as if someone had just walked by.

"Damn." Huang Xiaolong kicked the wall of the passageway: "What the hell is this place?"

"Should we change the way?" the man in the long coat asked.

But Wu Jian shook his head and said, "No more, let's go this way."

"Why?" Huang Xiaolong looked very surprised.

Wu Jian smiled wryly, and then shone the flashlight behind us. I suddenly realized that, at some point, the passage behind us disappeared and turned into a wall directly.

"It's a hallucination." Huang Xiaolong walked over and touched it tentatively. From the reaction, I knew it must be the wall.

Moreover, during the delay, the wall moved a little to this side without a sound.

"Looks like we have to go." Wu Jian said, and then the man in long coat responded and began to lead the way.

The speed of the wall's movement lagged far behind the speed of our travel, and after a while, the back became a passage again. It's just that the weird scene just now can't be erased from everyone's mind.

The passage was finally over, and we stepped into a hall. The hall was very empty, without even pillars. There was only a circular platform in the middle, which was not high, but only 10 centimeters. The marks seem to be some kind of pattern, but the circle is too big, and it is impossible to distinguish it from our angle.

I looked up and looked at the top of my head. This hall is very high. In the dark, I couldn't see the top. I found Wu Jian and took the flashlight. Under the beam of light, it was still vaguely dark.

There is no passage in the hall, even the passage that came in just now is estimated to be blocked soon.

"How?" Huang Xiaolong said.

"Ghost knows." I was a little depressed.

The long-clothed man turned his head and smiled, "Ghosts don't know."

Uh, well, now he's still in the mood to joke, and I'm drunk too.

But without my teaching, Yan'er has already twisted on the arm of the long-clothed man, but the expression of the long-clothed man has not changed, it looks more like flirting.

"It seems that the problem is in this circle." Wu Jian was still observing the circle in a professional manner. I walked around the hall boredly. Suddenly, I saw a cylinder inserted obliquely on one wall. So he asked Wu Jian to come and see.

Wu Jian held the flashlight to observe for a while, and then moved it with his hands.

Without any sound, the whole hall suddenly lit up, not like lights or torches, but more like sunlight, without any blind spots at all.

The sudden bright light directly made me cover my eyes unconsciously. My eyes were burning and painful. After staying in the dark for a long time, no one could adapt to the sudden light.

It took me a while before I recovered, but things were still blurry.

Huang Xiaolong's cursing sound came, and then stopped suddenly, turning into an exclamation. I hurriedly looked over, and saw an extremely illusory coffin in the middle of the circle. The coffin was so small that only babies could sleep in it. Like a transparent crystal, it is reflecting light.

"Hey, crystal coffin." Sister Hua exclaimed.

I saw that Sister Hua seemed to know, so I quickly asked, but Sister Hua shook her head and said that she also heard about it from a frequent visitor of a haunted building occasionally, so she didn't know the details.

"Why don't you open it and have a look?" Huang Xiaolong suggested.

Yan'er was the first to object: "If someone opens my coffin, I will definitely kill him."

Huang Xiaolong pursed his mouth and stopped talking.

Wu Jian boldly approached the crystal coffin, looked it over carefully and said: "There is indeed a corpse inside, I don't recommend opening it."

"Really?" Huang Xiaolong leaned up curiously, but I didn't go up, no matter how big the heart is, after experiencing this series of horrific events, it will instinctively remain vigilant.

Everyone began to look for a way out in the hall. Because I was injured, I sat on the side to rest, and Little Bell accompanied me. Thinking about it, it seemed that I hadn't chatted with Little Bell for a long time.

So I had nothing to say and said, "Little Lingdang, what do you think is inside the coffin?"

Little Bell looked at me suspiciously and said, "A corpse, what else can it be?"

I shook my head and said: "That's not necessarily true. Many people are afraid that others will touch their bodies after death, so they make a fake coffin and put jewelry, gold and silver in it. I hope that the tomb robbers will leave after taking the treasure and don't disturb them." long sleep."

Little Bell pouted and said, "We are not grave robbers."

"It's not that we are tomb robbers, but, maybe this coffin contains gold, silver and jewelry."

"So what, we can't use it anymore."

Little Bell's words made it impossible for me to continue. Indeed, no matter how much gold and silver treasures they have, they will not be able to use them unless I burn them.
