As he went down and down, the surrounding air began to become cold. No wonder some people like to live in the cellar, which is indeed much cooler than above. It is more comfortable to hide here in the hot summer than air conditioning. After continuing to walk for a while, the stone steps began to no longer steep down, but extended parallel to the front. It seems that I am almost close to my first destination. My heartbeat also began to become fierce, and I don't know if it was because of fear or excitement. While the unknown can bring fear to people, it also brings excitement. Perhaps I am in such a mood at this moment.

The stone steps were over, and the moment after I stepped out of the stone steps, I was also stunned. The place where I am now, based on the distance, should be 500 meters underground or even deeper. Ground.

When I was just on the road, I thought I would enter a cave-like place, extremely dim, and I had to use torches to move forward. But at this moment, my eyes are not only extremely bright, their scale is far beyond my imagination.

If the stone steps just now looked like a well, then I am a little frog in this well. The exit of the stone steps is like a well to the beautiful world outside.

I have been to Beijing and Tiananmen Square. I have also seen the size of the Forbidden City and felt its majesty. The Forbidden City and the Great Wall can be said to be China's iconic architecture and pride. Especially the Great Wall is listed as a miracle of the world. If the Forbidden City wants to be classified as a miracle, then I am afraid that this underground palace in front of me is the first one who cannot agree to it. Although the scale of the Forbidden City is breathtaking, it seems small in front of this underground palace. It is a bit arrogant to say that the second kill is a bit arrogant, but when I look at it, I am afraid that its scale is more than twice the size of the Forbidden City. many.

However, after my careful observation, I still found some clues. The architectural style here is very similar to the Forbidden City. It is all retro style with wooden structure. But Ms. Shen said that this place has a thousand years of history. It was in the Song Dynasty, but the architectural style here is more like the Tang Dynasty. Maybe it was in the Tang Dynasty when it was renovated later. But the strangest thing is not this, but the color of the dyes here.

In ancient times, the building dye used by some high-ranking officials and nobles was brownish yellow. The most famous one was mahogany, which was the most natural and pure brownish yellow. But the palace in front of me, although it is also made of wooden materials, its coloring materials are all black and white. Whether it's floor tiles, roof beams, doorposts, and even wall slabs, they are all black or white. Looking at it at a glance, this underground palace was like a colorless black and white place, making it look like it was for the dead.

It's okay to take a look, but when I look at it for a long time, I feel so depressed, my chest is very stuffy, and it feels like I can't breathe.

I moved my gaze to my eyes, and in front of me was a city gate similar to a porch. Like the color tone here, the original cement-colored walls were also painted black. The original imposing city wall, at this moment, looks very depressing. Its plaque hangs so high that I have to raise my head to see it.

Similarly, "Xuandemen" is also on a black plaque with three large white characters written in italics.

It seems that I didn't go in the wrong place, it's here.

I don't have to worry about the color here anymore. Maybe the first generation owner here is just like this black and white color. Who can think through the ideas of the rich.

As I walked in, I looked at the environment here.

Unexpectedly, in addition to the black and white color on the outside, even the inside of the wall was painted black. Forgive me for the difficulty of accepting this color style, so I simply ignored it and walked forward intently.

"Huh..."

"Huh..." The moment I passed through the city gate, a strong cold wind blew from me. This wind was very cold and cloudy. Blowing on me made my whole body tremble.

"Huh..."

"Huh..." I thought the wind was just blowing suddenly, but I didn't expect it to be blowing there all the time. After a few blows, I couldn't stand it anymore. The wind blew on my body and it hurt like being cut by a knife.

"what… "

"Ah..." Not only did the wind not weaken at all, it became more and more violent. After a while, it seemed as if someone was roaring and howling in the wind.

I really can't stand it anymore. Let me go now. It is impossible for me to go. Anyway, it is only 800 meters away. I will run quickly. To the left, yes, that's it.

After looking in the right direction, I ran towards there quickly. There are dark walls on both sides, and the distance of 800 meters is not long, and I have already seen the wall at the end.

The cold wind is still whistling in my ear like a blade. Who can imagine that there is a sunny day above my head, but my body is trembling in the cold wind. In order to reduce this pain quickly, my feet ran as hard as possible.

The distance of 800 meters is being shortened rapidly with my steps, and I have also seen the three black fonts, the gantry wall. Seeing these three words, I feel like I have seen the dawn of victory.

"boom… "

"Bang..." But then I noticed an anomaly, an anomaly enough for me to panic. My feet suddenly became extremely heavy, and I had to work very hard to lift one foot, and when I put it down, these feet were also pressed on the ground like a thousand pounds of stones, and they still issued There was a dull sound.

"This... how could this happen!?" Although I was terrified, the experience along the way has made me realize something, so I didn't show a panic look. Instead, he stopped immediately and checked my feet.

The shoes have always been the shoes I wear, so the problem should not be my shoes, but the ground here. The ground here is padded with bricks, and like the city walls here, they are all painted. It became jet black.

But when I bent down and checked, I found that there was no problem with my shoes or the ground here. So I tried to shake my legs and feet again.

Everything is normal and easy. Strange, did I just have the illusion

Since it's okay, I don't want to study anymore. Anyway, the Longmen Wall is in front, so I should run over.

"boom… "

"Bang..." But when I started running again, my feet became extremely heavy again.

This feeling of truth and similitude made me understand that I would never have an illusion, something weird must have happened, so I stopped again, bent down again, and checked my shoes and the ground. But the result is the same as before, there is no problem with both.

Damn, this is clearly teasing me.

Okay, you have Zhang Liangji, and I also have my bridge ladder. I looked at the remaining distance and estimated that there is still two hundred meters left. I was heartbroken and I just took off my shoes and walked forward. . Anyway, the ground here is fairly clean, so I don’t have to worry about glass slag sticking to the bottom of my feet.

After removing my shoes, I tried to walk a few more steps, and sure enough, my steps did not become heavy. The cold wind was still galloping there, and I was barefoot, adding a bit to the chill. Two hundred meters, I decided to gritted my teeth and finished the sprint in one breath.

"Young man, it hurts to walk barefoot. If the shoes don’t fit, just buy a pair." Before I lifted my footsteps, a voice suddenly sounded beside me. The voice was very old and weak, like an old man. the sound of. But it really shocked me, and my face turned pale.

I was so scared that I jumped straight forward, and when I landed, I dared to look in the direction of the sound.

An old man, a white-haired old man with a vicissitudes face, is standing next to where I just stood, looking at me with a smile on his face. His smile looks very kind, but his clothes give people an extremely uncomfortable feeling. It is a black and white Hanfu. Although the style of clothing is very gentle and elegant, the black and white colors give people a feeling of mourning.

Although I respect the old and love the young, but looking at him with his benevolent look, I really can’t move my compassionate heart, because I am absolutely sure that when I just came here, there was no one on this road at all, I You can't read it wrong, the road itself is only so wide, and everything can be seen in full view. So I know this must be the illusion that Miss Shen said.

Since I knew it was an illusion, I didn't plan to ignore him, and continued to drive the rest of my journey. I didn't plan to wear the shoes anymore, so I took my two shoes in one hand, and ran forward quickly, and I was close to the destination. As long as I persisted a few more times, I could reach it. But curiosity killed the cat. I knew it was an illusion, but I couldn't help but want to look back and see how that old man was doing.

"Om..." As soon as I turned around, I was almost scared to death. Because that old white-haired old man followed me so closely, when I looked back, my nose almost hit his Zou Baba face. Especially the corners of his mouth and face, as if he was born like this, he kept looking at me with that smile, staring at me stubbornly. Looking at it makes me chill, looking at it makes me feel hairy.

"What have you been doing with me!!!" I snarled directly at him almost instinctively, even if I knew that he was an illusion and an illusion, it was too much. This is obviously trying to scare me to death.

Facing my cannibalistic roar and roar, the old head didn’t hear it at all, and he still smiled and said to me: "Young man, walking barefoot is uncomfortable, if the shoes don’t fit. If you do, let’s pick a pair.” As he said, he pulled his stall over and let me choose.

Looking at his expression, I really don't know what to say. To be honest, I can now fully understand why some law enforcement officers violently enforce the law. Damn, I don't know good or bad, I really want to go up and overturn his stall. Do business still do this? The buyers almost scared you to death.

"Get out! Don't buy..." But I still resisted my impulse, just yelled at him angrily again, hoping that he could leave without giving up.

But for my words, he did not pay any attention to it, still standing there with a motionless smile. Seeing him not leaving, I was so scared that I didn't dare to go anymore, and I was afraid that he would continue to follow me behind.

"Old man, I want this pair. The money is for you. Okay, the business is ready. Pack up early and go home." This is not what I said, and I don't have such a good temper to talk to him now. I would not even buy his shoes. And the voice is very gentle and soft. You can tell that this is a girl's voice. When I heard this voice, I immediately looked over, because I was not only curious that this voice appeared out of thin air, but also this voice. I'm very familiar with it. I must have seen this master somewhere.

"Thank you girl, thank you girl." After seeing his shoes sold, the old man was very happy, and while bowing to the girl, he pulled his stall and floated away. That's right. Floating away, I didn’t see clearly how he followed me just now, but I can see his departure very clearly at the moment, he just floated away in mid-air, until he disappeared into my sight. .

And after seeing this kind girl's face, I was shocked and opened my mouth again. (End of this chapter)
