Zhou Chuan walked in the dark passage.
In this environment, even with his enhanced eyesight he couldn't see anything clearly, and the only thing he could rely on was the high-intensity flashlight in his hand.
The sound of dripping water could be heard all around, and under my feet was an underground stream that was higher than the soles of my shoes.
Theoretically, this place is underground and is a very closed place, so there shouldn't be too much flowing air.
But the reality is that there is a chilly wind blowing everywhere, so damp and cold that it can penetrate into people's bones.
This kind of atmosphere unconsciously reminded Zhou Chuan of the tunnel in Dahei Mountain that connected reality and the ruins.
The same darkness, the same flowing water, the same underworld, these two places give people almost exactly the same feeling.
Or... these two are actually the same place
"Isn't that possible? The tunnel is outside the Dahei Mountain, and this secret passage is inside the mountain, which is dozens of miles away..."
Zhou Chuan walked forward thoughtfully, then shook his head.
Anything can happen in the ruins. Confusion of time and space is common, and Newton's coffin has never been closed.
This is common knowledge that even junior high school students know.
Zhou Chuan recently saw such a case in Approaching Science:
It is said that there was a backpacker who liked to travel by car. Once he passed by a village and there happened to be a small store on the side of the road, so he stopped his car and prepared to buy a pack of cigarettes.
But when he arrived at the door, he saw two old men in white vests playing chess under the tent at the entrance of the convenience store, which instantly aroused his addiction to chess.
It is said that a true gentleman watches a game of chess without saying a word. This guy obviously does not have such a high level of awareness.
Sometimes they were "pushing" and sometimes they were "blocking", pointing and talking on the side, having a lot of fun.
Time passed by minute by minute, and when he noticed it was evening, he drove away from the village, but heard on the car radio that he had been missing for 43 days, and that the Combat Card Masters Associations of many provinces had sent people to look for him, but to no avail.
At this time, he picked up his mobile phone and found that it had been powered off. After finally charging it and connecting to the Internet, he received many messages, and the phone's notification tone almost became a continuous song.
Obviously, these 43 days were very real for others, especially his family, who were suffering day by day.
But to him, these so-called "43 days" were nothing more than watching a game of chess and buying a pack of cigarettes.
At this point in the show, Zhou Chuan called himself an expert, saying that this was simply the modern version of the chess game Lan Ke Yuan.
Unexpectedly, a reversal occurred immediately.
It turned out that the elder brother, who had suffered a huge mental shock, subconsciously reached into his pocket to pick up a cigarette, but what he pulled out was a card with an orange border!
Watching chess, buying cigarettes, disappearing for 43 days, in exchange for an orange quality card.
This fortune is no worse than that of our ancestor Chongzhen.
It is precisely this uncertainty and possibility of triggering adventures and "getting something for nothing" that attracts battle card masters to the ruins full of dangers.
Let's get back to the point. From the perspective of the ruins, it is possible that this secret passage is connected to that tunnel due to spatial disorder.
In other words, there is a high possibility that this place is connected to the City of the Dead.
"Master Ba, where do you think we should go?"
Zhou Chuan suddenly stopped and asked.
When I turned around, I saw Bai Wuchang continuing to walk in the air, while Hei Wuchang stood still without saying a word.
Two seconds later, Hei Wuchang walked silently in one direction.
Zhou Chuan followed behind him, and the man and the god maintained this tacit understanding as they walked in the infinitely dark passage.
Bai Wuchang followed closely behind them, something seemed to flash in his eyes, but it was still a little unclear and not as clear as Hei Wuchang's.
In such a place, human beings' sensitivity to time is reduced to the lowest level, and ordinary clocks become ineffective.
It was not known whether a few minutes or hours had passed, but under the guidance of Mr. Ba, Zhou Chuan finally saw the specks of blood at the end of the secret passage.
Looking at the magnificent scene not far away, Zhou Chuan slowed down and walked over.
When he reached the end of the secret passage, he took a deep breath and was about to continue moving forward, but at this moment, Hei Wuchang put his hand on his shoulder.
As an inexplicable wave flashed by, Zhou Chuan felt that a certain shackle that was originally tightly bound on his body was temporarily removed, and his heart felt much more relaxed.
Now when he looked at the bloody lake again, he was no longer surprised, but felt very familiar.
So he took a step forward, and the world before his eyes instantly turned red and yellow.
The "sky" is as yellow as sand and surging like the tide, but under the feet there is a river flowing with dark red blood.
"Seventh Master, Eighth Master?"
Zhou Chuanfu suddenly turned around and looked at the Black and White Impermanence.
As a card maker and the person who brought these two back to the world, he could clearly feel that the status of these two people changed completely the moment they entered the ruins.
Just like when he assassinated the Black Mountain Ghost King before, the divinity and sublimation that Master Ma Si showed at that moment also appeared in the Black and White Impermanence at this moment.
"Master Ba, continue to lead the way, is that ok?"
Zhou Chuan said softly, as if it should be so.
So in the next moment, Hei Wuchang stepped forward to lead the way, leading Zhou Chuan upstream in the blood river.
Bai Wuchang's eyes moved slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he followed Zhou Chuan closely, never putting down the mourning stick in his hand.
"This is… "
Under the guidance of Hei Wuchang, Zhou Chuan quickly found a dark temple in this world that seemed to have only two colors.
It is no different from the strange locust tree temple, or Lu Pan Temple in reality, just like two sides of a mirror.
Just as Zhou Chuan was thinking, Hei Wuchang had already taken the lead and pushed open the temple door, pulling out a dozen trembling and hideous evil ghosts from it, and cleared them all away with a wave of his soul-catching chains.
After doing all this, he turned around and looked at Zhou Chuan, signaling that he could enter.
"Thank you, Master Ba."
Zhou Chuan smiled and then stepped into the room. It was still the familiar layout.
The hall, the pillars, the small eucalyptus... Only the platform where the statue was originally placed was now empty, as if he had sealed the statue in the present world, and the "thing in the mirror" had also been taken away.
"Two persons in one, reality mapping?"
Zhou Chuan shook his head, somewhat puzzled.
However, when I thought about the "weeping stone statue" I encountered in the courtyard and backyard before, there was only one from beginning to end.
It's just that it can jump back and forth between the present world and the ruins constantly, which creates a sensory illusion that the stone statue "exists" in both the present world and the ruins.
I think this strange temple is the same.
But if that were really the case, wouldn’t Tong Qi and the Third Master be outside in the rain now
Zhou Chuan shook his head, confused by his own thoughts, and stopped thinking about them. Instead, he explored behind the stone platform where the statue was placed, and finally found a plaque of the same model and color as the previous one.
However, the word written on it is the word "查" (check) which fills the gap with it.
"interesting."
