Lian Dao really sighed and jumped from the mountain base with me. I knew what he was thinking, but he couldn't help.
Looking again at the foot of the mountain, it didn't take long before we found a passage. This passage should have been exploded by gunpowder, because there are many half-yellow vegetation around and some scorched earth on the ground. It's just that the entrance is extremely smooth, and the surface is not piercing to the touch, like ceramics.
This passage is extremely tall, allowing people to walk upright and side by side, which is quite generous. I walked side by side with Ren Daojin and found that there were some lighting lamps left here. The style of the lamp is very peculiar, like the fluorescent sticks commonly used in movies, but the light is whitish, very bright but very soft, not glaring at all.
Looking at the lamps inserted on the mountain wall, Lian Daozhen looked a little ugly, and said, "It seems that he has been prepared. These things are definitely not just used."
"Let the past go away with the wind, look ahead." I persuaded.
Lian Dao really responded coldly, and walked forward with heavy steps. I was afraid that he would think more about other things and affect his mood, so I asked: "Seal the gap, does it have any effect on you?"
"Naturally." Lian Daozhen replied, "I sealed the place with the incarnation of an emperor fist, so I can't use it anymore, otherwise the power of earth movement in the gap will immediately collapse."
"In other words, has the Five Emperor Fists become the Four Emperor Fists?"
"Similar to this."
"You said that the Qin Dynasty did not worship the Black Emperor, is it somewhat similar to your situation?" I said.
Ren Daozhen suddenly stopped looking at me and asked, "What do you mean?"
I was a little stunned and said, "What's wrong? I just feel a bit like it. Your Tuxing Emperor Fist incarnation sealed the gap, so you can't use it anymore. The Five Emperors became the Four Emperors. The Qin Dynasty didn't worship the Black Emperor, maybe so too. Because the Black Emperor is used to do something, he is in a state of being unable to move, or unable to worship."
My explanation is not clear, but Lien Daozhen is thoughtful. In fact, I just changed the topic casually. Who would have thought that he would start thinking so seriously, talking to a man with a lot of thoughts is really tired...
We continued to walk along the passage, and it didn't take long to reach an uphill. The slope is not great, but there are traces of steps. With the surrounding lights shining, I saw footprints remaining on it, and Zheng Qiuyuan should have walked through it when I wanted to come.
Lian Dao really didn't hesitate too much. He walked along the stairs. We walked for a long time, but we never came to the end.
Originally I didn't think there was anything, but Lian Daozhen was walking but suddenly stopped. Seeing him stop, I asked, "What's wrong? What did I find?"
"Aren't you feeling wrong?" Ren Daozhen asked with a weird look.
I couldn't figure it out and said, "It's nothing, what's wrong?"
"Don't you think we have been walking for too long?" Lian Daozhen said.
What he said made me stunned, and then I reacted.
That's right! We have been walking for too long!
Although the passage leading to the underground is also inclined, the slope is very small, and we saw this staircase not long after we walked. It's about ten meters deep underground at most. But now the ladder is slanting upwards, and we have been walking along for at least ten minutes.
Lien Dao and I are really not fast, but ten minutes is enough to climb twenty or thirty stories high, which is at least over a hundred meters high.
I must see here, you have already noticed something wrong.
The hill was blown up, from the surface to the top, as I said before, but it was only a dozen meters high. We went down ten meters underground, plus the height of the base of the mountain, and it stands to reason that the sky is thirty meters high.
But, now we have climbed the stairs for nearly one or two hundred meters
In this way, don't we have already crossed the base of the mountain, and even almost reached the top of the original mountain
But... I looked around, and it was still in the middle of the mountain, and it would never have been out of the mountain.
"Could we, we climbed to another mountain?" I guessed.
"Impossible." Lian Daozhen shook his head without explaining.
He didn't need to explain, because my guess was totally untenable.
A hill covering an area of over a hundred square kilometers, we walked along the passage for a few minutes, how could it be impossible to get out of its range, let alone climb another mountain. Besides, I have seen it before I came in, there are no other mountains nearby, we can only be in that mountain.
So what is going on
I looked at Lian Daozhen and asked, "Will you go? Why don't you go back? It's so weird here."
Even Daozhen is hesitating, he himself is not afraid, but if you take me, you have to think about it. After a while, he said: "Keep walking, if there is danger, you leave along the stairs and don't look back."
I knew he was worried about something strange, so I nodded.
After that, we continued walking down the stairs. In order to figure out how far I have climbed, I deliberately took out the cell phone that was running out of battery. Since I charged the phone at the owner of the mobile phone shop before leaving Xi'an, now there are only less than one mark left in all kinds of savings.
Time passes by minute by minute, maybe it is a psychological effect, I always feel that time goes by very fast. Although the phone is running out of power, the time is accurate. Whenever I feel that a long time has passed, I can pick up my phone and look at it, only to find that it's just over a minute.
The stairs made of stone are very rough and look like pockmarked faces under the reflection of the light. Walking on this kind of ladder, my heart becomes more irritable every minute more time passes.
Lien Dao was really calm, walking slowly step by step. There is nothing else here except the sound of our footsteps. The atmosphere seemed extremely dull. I glanced at the time of my phone and joked: "If we climb down this way, maybe we can climb to the moon. Then I will also put a big flag on it and write that Zuo Tianyang will visit here. , This is Smecta, the homeland of the Chinese!"
Ren Daozhen glanced at me, but didn't say a word. I knew the joke was not funny, I lowered my head angrily, and said, "When are we climbing like this, when will we be tall? This is another ten minutes, why should we climb more than three hundred meters? That mountain, it doesn't seem to be this high. ?"
"It's not so high, but I think it should be soon." Lian Daozhen said.
I thought he had seen something, and I quickly looked up diagonally, but it was still pitch black and empty as if to swallow people. I couldn't help but shiver, and didn't dare to look any more, and walked honestly.
About five minutes later, Lian Daozhen stopped again. Before he could say, I had already asked, "This breath..."
"Similar to the shadow of the candle dragon behind Zheng Qiuyuan." Lian Daozhen's face was solemn.
I was surprised and delighted. What was surprised was that I found the breath of the candle dragon. What was delighted was that I was about to climb to the top. I've grown up so much in my life, and I have never climbed so many stairs once. If it hadn't been for the constant flow of Qi in my body that made me feel tired, I would have rolled my legs long ago.
"Continue?" I asked.
Lian Daozhen hummed and said, "Since we are here, naturally we have to take a look. If Zheng Qiuyuan can leave alive, we will never be eaten."
I coughed twice and said, "Bah, baah! Tong Yan Wuji! Tong Yan Wuji!"
After another five minutes, the ladder is finally coming to an end.
The dark color made me feel that I couldn't see anything else in front of me, and even my consciousness was a little fuzzy. I was indifferently pulled by Lian Daozhen's arm, only to hear him say: "Be careful!"
I quickly stopped and asked: "What's the matter?"
Lien Daozhen looked at his feet and said, "Look."
I lowered my head, and suddenly I was in a cold sweat. Under the light, I saw that there were no more steps ahead, but a huge pit that could not be seen to the end. If it weren't for Ren Daozhen to hold me, I must have stepped out and fell down.
I wiped my sweat and asked undecided: "How come a big pit suddenly appeared?"
"Because we have reached the end." Lien Daozhen replied.
Seeing him staring forward, with a shocked look on his face, I followed. At a glance, I realized why he looked like a ghost.
We were standing on the last step, and we could see a deep pit ahead. There are lights on the mountain walls around the deep pit. If you look carefully, you can see almost the same steps as this under the lights.
I couldn't help but be surprised: "Could it be that there is more than one entrance?"
Lian Dao really ignored the problem of the entrance. He slowly raised his head and said in a very strange tone: "Then... Is it the candle dragon..."
I raised my head, and then I saw that an unspeakable behemoth was entrenched in the sky at an unknown height. (End of this chapter)
