Chapter 182 Ghost blowing out the lamp?

The torch rolled forward a few times, illuminating the road ahead. Xiao Ran could not help but break out in a cold sweat as he glanced at it.

Thanks to Liu Shengli's sudden scream, they were able to stop their progress in time. If they had taken a few steps forward, at least he himself would definitely be doomed.

He originally thought that the iron gates in this circle were connected by complete passages, but when he was illuminated by a torch that fell to the ground, he discovered that the connection between the two iron gates had been damaged, and there was a gap in the middle.

It is more than 1 meter wide, and below it is an abyss with no bottom.

The light of the torch was too weak, not only the illumination distance was short, but also the range was limited. Xiao Ran originally wanted to have the torch, so he didn't rush to change the battery of the flashlight. After all, he didn't know how long he would have to stay in this underground palace before he could find a way out, so he could save money.

One point after another. But in the current situation, modern technology is more reliable.

He quickly changed the batteries of the wolf-eye flashlight and illuminated the main hall again, finally getting a general understanding of the whole place.

The entire hall is basically built in the air. In front of each iron door built on the stone wall, there is a fan-shaped stone platform extending forward, and there are short stone steps connected to the platform with a large box in the center.

Every two iron doors are also connected by a narrow passage close to the stone wall.

However, most of the stone steps and passages connecting these areas have been damaged and have become ravines leading to the abyss.

On the platform in front of the iron gates, there were broken clothes and bones scattered all over. Xiao Ran illuminated the area in front of him with his flashlight. Many human bones were covered with small tooth marks, which seemed to be caused by the grinding of the teeth of those red-eyed rats.

.However, there are many obvious claw marks and large holes on those broken clothes, which must have been bitten by some kind of beast with fangs and claws.

Xiao Ran looked in the direction pointed by Liu Shengli's trembling hand and saw that there were many cages hanging from the large pillars carved from natural logs with iron chains, and there were complete human skeletons inside.

Xiao Ran pulled Liu Shengli up, pointed at the skeleton in the cage and said, "That's it? Scared you like this? You asked me about mummies before, but a pair of dead bones almost made you wet your pants?"

Liu Shengli waved his hands repeatedly: "No... no, there was really a dead person just now. He was hanging on that pillar. His two white eyes were protruding. There was still flesh and hair on his body..."

Xiao Ran quickly waved his hand to stop him from continuing: "Don't create a tense atmosphere. Look, there are no fleshy dead people here? You have frightened yourself into hallucinating..."

Xu Er suddenly said: "Xiao... Xiao Gang, I think I saw it too. But I didn't see it that clearly. I turned around and saw a lot of hair going up the pillar..."

Xiao Ran took a flashlight and carefully looked above. There was indeed a small distance between the top of the pillar and the unadorned stone top, but it didn't look like it could hide a person.

He was a little frightened by the descriptions of these two people, but now he could only cheer them up and said: "We don't care what's going on here, let's find a way out first."

He looked around and found two oil lamps set on the wall next to the iron door, with the dark oil floating inside, so he lit them with a torch, and finally there was some light in the area where they were.

"Let's follow the sound of the water first, maybe we can find a way out."

The fracture in front was only more than one meter wide. The three of them jumped over easily, dodging the broken bones on the ground and walking to the iron gate. Liu Shengli followed Xiao Ran's example and lit the oil lamps on both sides of the door. The extra light seemed to be more

A ray of hope.

The sound of water came from behind the door. It seemed that there was a splash of water not only behind the door, but also under the platform. Xiao Ran pulled the door, and the door lock was slightly loose, and pieces of rusty powder fell from the cracks in the door.

Got to the ground.

Xiao Ran raised his head and looked at the two people next to him. Liu Shengli was still holding up the torch timidly and lighting the surroundings, as if he was afraid of seeing a ghost and wished he could really shine a ghost. Xu Ercong entered the hall and saw the center for the first time.

Starting from the big box on the stone platform, my eyes kept rolling around on that box.

Xiao Ran knew that he was thinking about the medicine for his brother's illness again. Although Xiao Ran himself wanted to know what was in the box, he still had to find a way out first, otherwise if there was another box full of gold and jade or a panacea, they would

I can't take it out either.

He carefully looked around the door and found no trace of a mechanism, so he ordered the two of them to stand back, and he pulled the copper handle on the door and pulled it sharply.

The door was opened with a "clang", and it kept shaking due to inertia, making a constant creaking sound. Behind the iron door was a narrow passage extending slightly upward. In the center of the passage was a concave groove eroded by water all year round.

The water flows thinly along the groove to behind the iron door, and then flows down a small hole leading below. It seems that the sound of water flowing under the platform comes from here.

"Oh my god!"

Xiao Ran was about to enter the iron gate to take a look, but Liu Shengli rushed into the door first. He didn't care about the slippery stones on the ground and stumbled back inside the door, pointing at the iron gate he had entered before.

Xiao Ran turned around and saw that the oil lamps on both sides of the iron door had been extinguished. He did not expect that the oil in the lamps was not so durable.

"There's... a ghost that blew out the lamp..." Liu Shengli's voice was filled with tears.

In an instant, the words "Ghost blowing out the lamp" flashed through Xiao Ran's mind, giving him a start. He took a flashlight and looked around the door carefully, but did not see any figures or ghosts. He thought to himself,

The coffin was not opened, and the oil lamp was not a candle, and it was not necessarily in the southeast corner. If a ghost came and blew out the oil lamp, it would not harm him.

Even if there is really a ghost, there is no need to blow out the lamp to see off the guests. He wants to get out of here more than the ghost.

Seeing that Liu Shengli was shaking like chaff, he asked him what he saw. Liu Shengli once again said that he saw the white-eyed ghost with disheveled hair, lying on the wall and blowing out the oil lamp. Xu Er didn't see any black hair this time

, but said that at the moment when the lights went out, it seemed that a black shadow flashed past.

"Don't worry about what's inside, let's go in first."

As soon as Xiao Ran finished speaking, Liu Shengli hurriedly held on to the damp mountain walls on both sides of the passage and climbed up in a hurry. Xiao Ran asked Xu Er to follow Liu Shengli closely, and he followed behind.

He stood at the iron door holding a flashlight and took a closer look at the area. After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he silently called the artifacts. The Yin Yang Mirror denied the existence of evil objects, and the Soul Locking Lingzhu also said there was no sound of souls.

.

As for Li Jiuguo and Guan Shan Dao, they are of little use in this kind of matter.

Xiao Ran held the flashlight in his mouth, stepping on the slippery and mossy ground, holding on to the mountain walls on both sides as he moved upwards. He had just taken five or six steps when he suddenly heard two subtle blows of "huhu" coming from behind him.

.

He quickly turned around and saw the light on the ground outside the iron gate flickering for a few times and then suddenly going out.
