When I approached the small building, I realized that the construction inside was like a maze, not at all like the building where Master and I lived. This small building is a single building, and it looks like the other two buildings in the courtyard from the outside, except that it is a little shorter.
I thought the building was not that big. From the outside, the building only had two floors, but when I got inside, I knew that my idea was wrong. Because it is not built from the bottom up, but expanded underground.
Xiao Mi seems to have been here before, and took me down an invisible rope ladder to the second floor with ease.
I whispered to her, "Did you come here by yourself?"
She was honest, nodded and said, "Before you came, they often came here. Every time I was left alone waiting outside, it was really boring. Hehe, I just came here secretly Two or three times, but every time I got to this basement level, I couldn't find the way to continue."
The way to go on? I looked around, and the area of the basement floor alone was surprisingly large, far beyond the scope of the small building. There are several intersecting paths that don't know where they lead.
"Are you sure, is there a second basement? I think this is the top?"
"There must be. I have seen all the rooms below, and there is no sign of them. If there is not a second basement floor, could they all be invisible?"
I thought about it, and I'm afraid it's impossible to be invisible.
He and Xiao Mi went to the basement floor and walked around to the corner at the end of a small road, which was considered to be the end.
There is a bronze sculpture here, I touched the exquisite patterns on it, and asked curiously, "What is this?"
Xiao Mi gave me a contemptuous look, "This is Pixiu, and it's usually used to guard houses."
"Oh, this thing is quite delicately carved. Look at the eyes, they are so lifelike, they seem to be alive." As I spoke, I poked Pixiu's head with my hand.
"Stop playing, I brought you here to find the entrance, look for it, where is the entrance? This time, let's look carefully, don't you want to see the dragon? If you can't find the entrance, you can't see it either Here comes the dragon!"
Speaking of the magical creatures in legends like dragons, I really want to see them. But this thing has never been seen before, but I have the opportunity to see it, and I really can't restrain the excitement in my heart.
"Xiao Mi, when you say dragon, is it the same as what the old man said?"
Xiao Mi smiled at me, "I haven't seen it, but if you can find the entrance, maybe you can see it."
I nodded hastily and began to cooperate with her to find it.
But after searching for a long time on the basement floor, I searched all the ways, and only saw eight rooms. I also went in and looked at each room, and the furnishings were all the same, only tables and chairs, and nothing special. The only thing that is different may be the bronze Pixiu statue in the corner.
I stood in front of the statue and looked left and right for several times, only to realize that the eyes of this Pixiu were of different sizes, and one of them seemed to be sunken in. I tentatively stretched out my hand and pressed it, and it was able to move! Then I used some strength and pressed it all the way to the end. The eyes were completely sunken in.
A stone slab on the ground on the right side of Pixiu moved slowly, revealing a square entrance and a rope ladder, and it was dark below without lights, so nothing could be seen.
Xiao Mi looked at the entrance in surprise, "It seems that I brought you here, I brought you right." After speaking, he was about to go down.
I pulled her and began to feel guilty. The excitement of wanting to see the dragon all disappeared the moment the entrance opened. Looking at the black hole below, I always felt uncomfortable. I pulled Xiao Mi to stop me and said, "It's too dark in here, why don't we just forget about it! It's not good if Master and the others find us down here." !"
Xiao Mi urged, "It's already here, what are you afraid of! Hurry up, stop the ink stains, you will be discovered after a while." Xiao Mi shook off my hand and climbed down first.
I hesitated, very uneasy, but I couldn't watch Xiao Mi go alone, so I had to go with her.
Under the ground, the cold wind whizzed straight into the person's body, the hairs on my arms stood on end, and goose bumps came up. Xiao Mi took out a candle from her arms and lit it with a match.
"You were prepared!" I said in surprise.
"Be prepared and be safe, do you understand? I really don't know. Uncle Sun has been looking for it for so long, but he accepted you as an apprentice who can't do anything. It's a waste of resources!" Xiao Mi said dissatisfied.
I snorted coldly in my heart, this little girl can turn her face faster than a book. After today, I have to stay away from her.
Following her down to the second basement level, she realized that this place was different from the first basement level. The ground is darker and more humid, and due to the unique climate in the south, there is a musty smell in it. The smell is not particularly strong, it should be some moisture-proof measures have been taken. But some time ago, the rainy season just passed, and the sun has not been exposed to the sun for many years, so the smell will not go out for a while.
There are no rooms down here, no lights, just a narrow path. Because it was too dark, I couldn't see the end at all.
As I was walking, Xiao Mi stopped suddenly, and I almost bumped into her.
"Why don't you leave?" I asked.
"Listen! Is there someone?"
I pricked up my ears and listened carefully for a while. Except for the sound of the wind and our footsteps, there was no other sound. I joked, "Aren't you afraid?"
Xiao Mi was a little anxious, "There is really a sound, please listen carefully."
At this moment, there was a sound of thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, sound from far away on the road. If you listen carefully, it seems to be a woman's voice. "Could it be the voice of Master and the others?"
"No, it's not so loud, it's more like a roar!" Xiao Mi affirmed.
We walked a little further, and the voice gradually became clearer.
Indeed, as Xiao Mi said, it was a woman's cry, and it was heart-piercing. What exactly it was shouting, I don't know, but it felt like a very desperate cry.
Neither of us spoke, I wanted to go out, but Xiao Mi was still walking forward, showing no intention of leaving. I can only bite the bullet and stay with her! After all, I am a few years older than her, and I should protect her too.
At this moment, there are too many questions in my heart, who is this woman and why is she locked here. Who is the owner of this yard, and why did Master bring me here. I don't even know why the master chose me as an apprentice. I really don't understand anything like Xiao Mi said. I feel that I am not even as good as Xiao Mi in front of me.
There were mixed feelings in my heart, and the steps under my feet seemed extraordinarily heavy.
When Xiao Mi stopped again, her face was full of sorrow, her brows were tightly knit, her lips were tightly shut, and she was a little uncertain. I leaned forward and looked over, only to find that there were three forked roads in front of me.
These three roads seem to be similar, and I also wonder which one is where Master and the others are. "What should we do now?"
Xiao Mi thought for a while, then took out the little white snake from her bosom, "My mother left it to me, she knows the smell of my aunt and Master Sun, so there should be nothing wrong with following it."
When I saw the little white snake, I was very nervous, but the snake seemed to understand Xiao Mi's words, and walked straight to the left road, swimming slowly. We hurriedly followed up!
After walking for about five minutes, the little white snake stopped. Xiao Mi put the snake into her arms, and stared at the front, it was still pitch black, with a faint red light.
There was a little sweat on Xiao Mi's forehead, one hand was tightly clenched into a fist, and her body involuntarily took a step back. I asked her what was wrong, but she ignored me for a long time.
Then suddenly I was startled and turned to look at me with a different look in my eyes.
"Xiao Mi, you, why are you looking at me like this?"
Xiao Mi stretched out both hands and pinched my neck suddenly, and the candle fell to the ground and went out in an instant. When the only light is gone, the sense of fear in people's hearts deepens a bit. While holding her hand, I asked, "Xiao Mi, what's wrong with you? I'm Xiao Jin!"
In the dark, I saw that Xiao Mi's eyes were also glowing red. In my heart, I subconsciously felt that this was not Xiao Mi at all, it must be someone else.
Xiao Mi has great strength, but when a person faces death, his potential is also infinite.
I managed to get rid of Xiao Mi, and just after taking a breath, I felt something crawling on my shoulder.
I reached out and touched it, but couldn't find anything.
"Senior Sister! Let's go!" Xiao Mi suddenly shouted again.
Of course I knew I had to leave quickly, but after I got up, I didn't know which way to go.
In the darkness, Xiao Mi took my hand and led me to run.
"Xiao Mi, you almost strangled me just now!" I was very wronged and scared. I really don't know why this girl got so mad that she suddenly hit me so hard.
Xiao Mi's voice trembled a little, "It's not me! It's the wronged soul inside. The things inside are so powerful that they can easily get on my body. My Taoism is not enough to control my own body."
When I heard Xiao Mi talking about the soul of the wronged person, I thought of Fang Qihong and Aunt Dong's scary face. Unable to bear it, both legs began to tremble.
"You said there are those things under here? How did they get on your body?"
"Well, and there are more than one! These things can easily get on my body, because my body is special, and I am also a yin person. I learned from my aunt, but I can't control them yet. So, let's get out quickly, or I will die too. Don't know what I'm going to do."
I nodded and stopped wasting energy talking.
I could feel the shaking of Xiao Mi's hand holding me. Compared to this, she should be more afraid. I also held her hand tightly, because at this moment we are dependent on each other!
Master is not here, Su Muyan is not here, I dare not take chances and wait for them to come.
Only leaving as soon as possible is the most reliable!
This short five-minute distance seemed to be the furthest road I had ever run, and I always felt that I could not run to the end. I was so tired that I asked out of breath, "Why haven't we reached the fork?"
When Xiao Mi heard what I said, she visibly paused, and then stopped. He took out a match from his arms and struck a match, and the surrounding was illuminated by a faint light. I saw that Xiao Mi's face was pale, sweat was all over his face, and his hair was a little messy.
"Senior sister, have you heard of ghosts hitting the wall?"
I shook my head, "What is ghost hitting the wall?"
"It's because you are in a place and can't find a way out, because you are fascinated by that thing, and you are fascinated by that thing, and now we have encountered a ghost hitting a wall."
When the match was about to burn out, Xiao Mi pointed to my feet.
When the match went dark, my heart also became colder. Because the candle at my feet was just thrown away by Xiao Mi, that is to say, we have been running for so long, but we are actually just spinning around in place.
"Didn't you say that your snake can lead the way? Why did it come here? Where's the master? Where's your aunt? Where's Uncle Heiying?" some.
Xiao Mi didn't seem to think that I would do this, and she blamed herself a little.
"I don't know, but this white snake is very spiritual. When I lost my way when I was a child, it was the one who brought me back to my aunt."
"You can believe in a snake!" I leaned against the wall a little discouraged.
For a long time, Xiao Mi didn't speak, and after a while I heard her sobbing. Unexpectedly, this little girl is also afraid sometimes. I sighed, I've seen such a vicious ghost as Fang Qihong before, so could the one here be more powerful than Fang Qihong
Besides, there are wronged souls here, it is impossible for Master not to know. It stands to reason that he should have been cleaned up by the master long ago. My brain suddenly worked rapidly in such a situation and analyzed it carefully.
It's just that my analysis is not over yet, and a pair of hands are pinching my neck again!
The author has something to say: I just want a little spoiler, Xiao Mi's life experience is actually very pitiful.
