There is no light source at all in this long and narrow passage, and it is darker than the tunnel. Fortunately, everyone is traveling, and they carry an outdoor flashlight with them, which has a long battery life and a wide range of photos.
In order to save electricity, only Liang Fei, who walked at the front, and Du Yan, who walked at the end, each fired a flashlight.
The inner wall of the passage is very smooth, and there are no other extra engravings. It is similar to the feeling of an air-raid shelter, but it is much narrower than the air-raid shelter. No one can speculate what the purpose of this passage is.
After walking along the passage for a while, suddenly there was a long sound of a train whistle from behind everyone. Then, there was the sound of the train moving.
The group's footsteps stopped for a while, but they didn't dare to look back.
At this time, Du Yan said, "Why did you stop? Are you going to go back and walk through the tunnel?"
The few people in front shook their heads frantically, thinking about the wooden faces stuck to the glass just now.
"No no no, don't go back, go forward."
In the long and narrow passage, it was silent, and the only thing that could be heard was the footsteps of everyone. I don't know how long it took, but everyone felt that they had almost lost their minds, and only the legs were moving mechanically.
The seemingly endless narrow passage was about to destroy everyone's sanity. At this critical point, the passage came to an end.
The eyes suddenly opened up, and the wind blowing was icy cold. Everyone stopped at this moment.
Perhaps out of fear of the unknown, Liang Fei subconsciously pointed the flashlight towards the ground, a bit like an ostrich with its head plunged into the sand, not daring to face reality.
Du Yan directly raised the flashlight in his hand: "What's wrong?"
Outdoor flashlights use xenon light sources, and the light can shoot far away. When the flashlight in Du Yan's hand was lifted, everyone realized that the space in front of them was astonishingly large.
Liang Fei exclaimed: "What place is this?"
Du Yan looked at it and said, "It should be a natural cave."
After speaking, he moved his flashlight and scanned the surroundings roughly. From the surrounding stone walls and the long stalactites hanging upside down from the top of the cave, it can be seen that this place is indeed a natural karst cave, as Du Yan said.
Zhou Tian has always been attentive, but now she is in an open space and her fear is lessened. She can see something wrong at a glance: "Look ahead, the scope of this cave is probably more than what is in front of you."
Everyone looked in the direction of her finger, and sure enough, the height in front of her slowly decreased, but it still looked like a deep cave that didn't know where to go.
After Zhou Tian's reminder, everyone turned on their flashlights and started looking for a way out. It turned out that there were at least five or six forks in this huge cave.
Liang Fei was very frustrated: "It's over, in this kind of karst cave, you can't tell the south, south, north and west. Which direction to go is the best."
Xu Yuan also looked worried: "It's easiest to get lost in the cave. Maybe it's the most reliable way to find the water source and follow the direction of the underground river."
Wei Zizhe said, "Underground rivers are not necessarily reliable. I traveled to a cave in one place before, and after the underground river over there extended to a certain place, the mountain wall and the river surface completely fit together, and I couldn't get out at all... "
For a while, everyone hesitated, whether they should continue to move forward.
However, Du Yan took out a compass from his backpack: "If we take the direction of the tunnel and the time we walk, if we go forward for a while, we will all return to a more familiar place."
As soon as Liang Fei heard it, he leaned forward and said, "Wow, buddy, is this the official peripheral of Xunlong Dianping? It's so realistic, can it really be used?"
"..." Du Yan glanced at him speechlessly, "You're wrong, the familiar places I mentioned just now are only you and me."
Liang Fei had an idea: "You're not talking about the cave under the ancient village well, are you? Is this cave actually connected?"
Du Yan nodded and said, "According to my calculations, going in that direction should be the ancient village."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were focused on Du Yan's face, all with expressions of horror on their faces.
Zhou Tian calmed down for a short time, and was instantly suspended in the air again. She said in vain, "I don't want to go to that evil place in the ancient village."
Wei Zizhe said, "Why don't you go back and forget?"
Du Yan opened his mouth and said, "Actually, the ancient village is much safer than the unknown tunnel and the inexplicable train behind..."
As soon as Du Yan opened his mouth, everyone hesitated. Everyone in the ancient village actually didn't see anything scary outside of Liang Fei's accidental convulsion, but the strange passengers on the train just now were witnessed by everyone.
Liang Fei immediately turned his back and said, "I also think it would be better to go to the ancient village. The big deal is to leave immediately after coming out from there."
"Well, I agree." Xu Yuan nodded and said, "However, with so many forks ahead, it's also a question of which way to go."
Du Yan replied, "You don't have to worry about this, just follow me."
The reason why Du Yan is so determined is very simple, because at the intersection of one of the fork roads, there is a woman in red. The beautiful woman gently waved to Du Yan.
The source of danger in the ancient village lies in the ghost Fan, who is now leading the way and has become Xiao Lang's subordinate. Even if Xiao Lang hated Du Yan because of the notebook he left behind, he would not take out his anger at his roommate who got along with him every day.
Therefore, the trip to the ancient village is completely risk-free for others.
The group followed Du Yan and walked forward. Before they reached the fork in the road, Liang Fei made another mistake.
He said very embarrassedly: "Sorry, there are three urgent things, I want to solve it."
Wei Zizhe couldn't help but complain: "Why do you have so many things, boy?"
Liang Fei scratched his head and defended: "Didn't I drink a cup of milk tea before departure? You also know that milk tea is diuretic. I originally wanted to go to the toilet after getting on the train to solve the problem, but who would rush to the situation later. Do your best, you all don't want to see me peeing my pants, right?"
After speaking, Liang Fei walked to the side, and Xu Yuan asked at this time, "Do you want me to accompany you?"
When Liang Fei stopped, he vetoed: "I'm not a primary school student. I'm afraid I won't be able to urinate if you stay with me."
Although Liang Fei refused to accompany Xu Yuan, for the sake of safety, the others still flashed Liang Fei's torches to prevent him from walking out of sight, while Zhou Tian turned his back.
Liang Fei only took a dozen steps forward. After all, if he was too far away in such a dark place, he would still feel a little apprehensive.
After a while, the sound of the water stopped, Liang Fei quickly solved the problem, and everything went smoothly.
However, when he was walking back, he tripped over something and stumbled and almost fell to the ground. Liang Fei responded very quickly, and supported the giant stalactite beside him with one hand to stabilize his body.
Unexpectedly, he just put his hand up, he let out a scream, and then let go of his hand in a hurry, and sat directly on the ground.
"Why are you so surprised?" Xu Yuan said to him, walking towards Liang Fei's direction.
Liang Fei pointed at the giant stalactite: "So, what is that?"
The light source in everyone's hands shone in the direction of Liang Fei's finger. I saw a human hand sticking out above the pile of stalactite-like objects. The hand was not bone, but was shriveled like a mummy, with brown skin that was tightly attached to the bone of the hand, looking bony.
The hand was outstretched, as if trying to escape from here before dying, and standing there alone, looking very strange.
When Liang Fei saw it clearly, he rushed back with a tumble and crawled, and by the way pulled Xu Yuan, who was halfway there, and returned to the crowd.
Du Yan took the flashlight and walked in that direction, and Xu Yuan shouted from behind, "Xiao Lang, what are you looking at?"
Du Yan said, "It doesn't matter, it's just a hand, and it won't move. Let me see what's going on here?"
But is it just one hand? The indifferent tone of the man in front suddenly calmed the panicked crowd.
Du Yan stopped in front of the giant stalactite and found that the stalactite-like object was more than ten meters high, and there were several similar stalactite piles nearby.
He got a lot closer, flashed it with a flashlight, and looked at it carefully from top to bottom for a long time. Du Yan frowned and found that what was in front of him was not a stalactite at all, but a huge pile of petrified corpses.
The hand that Liang Fei helped up happened to be stretched out alone, so there was no petrification, and this was only discovered by Liang Fei.
Du Yan stuck a flashlight on it to shine a light on it, and the corpses inside were vaguely outlined. Judging from the clothes that weren't completely rotten, it was probably the corpses of those lone ghosts who liked to be stuck in tunnels.
"It's just some fossils. I'll go over there and take a look." Du Yan explained, thinking of another corpse pile and walking over.
The corpses here are not as petrified as that, and the corpses piled together are more clear. Du Yan took a closer look and found that the source of these corpses was somewhat different from what he had guessed.
It was originally recorded in the history of Shunping City that the city was slaughtered because of the war, and almost all the people in the city were slaughtered. According to the unofficial history, those corpses were thrown into a nearby mountain, so the mountain was called "Wanshi Mountain" by the locals.
With these data to prove it, Du Yan's first thought when he saw the corpse pile was naturally that these were the people who died in the massacre. However, it now appears that these corpses are not common people.
These corpses were well preserved in a special environment, and Du Yan found the same qualities in almost every corpse that exposed his face. On their faces, the word "sin" was stabbed.
These corpses are clearly the death row prisoners in ancient times, not the people of the city at all.
