Muchuan didn't dare to look at Xiaoying, so he just looked around.
At this moment, with the light of the fire, I could see clearly the environment under my feet and around me.
The strange thing is that there are dozens of torches, which should be brightly lit, but the visibility distance is extremely poor.
Even beyond a distance of two meters, nothing can be seen.
But even this small visual distance startled Muchuan.
Only then did he realize that there were hollows on both sides of the stairs, and underneath was a bottomless abyss.
This discovery made Muchuan break into cold sweat on his back. Fortunately, he had been relying on his intuition to move forward. If he had gone a little off track, he and Xiaoying would have become the souls of the abyss.
Seeing Muchuan being so surprised, Niu Bi was also surprised.
"Brother Mu, is it possible that you just noticed the surrounding environment?"
Muchuan smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "To be honest, I just noticed it just now. After all, I have been walking in the dark before."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone present was surprised.
You must know that there is an endless abyss on both sides. Muchuan and the two walked forward in the dark and did not fall in. It was really like a miracle!
Muchuan thought of something and quickly asked: "By the way, where did you come from?"
This is what Muchuan thinks is the weirdest thing. Logically speaking, Niu Bi and others should come from behind them. How could they come from the front?
Could it be that Niubi and the others found the entrance to the mountain?
Muchuan thought about it and could only explain it to this.
However, Niu Bi's next words shocked Muchuan.
"What Brother Mu said, where else can we come from?
Of course it comes from the secret passage at the bottom of the well that you found, brother!"
Niu Bi said carelessly, but he didn't notice Muchuan's pale face at all.
"Is this true?"
Muchuan grabbed Niu Bi's arm and quickly confirmed it again.
"Brother Mu, why are you so nervous?
If you don’t believe me, ask your disciple, he brought us here.”
Muchuan looked at Di Renjie again.
Di Renjie was stunned for a moment, but found that Muchuan's face looked strange.
He had been following Muchuan for a long time, but he had never seen Muchuan in such a panic.
"Teacher, did something happen?"
Muchuan nodded heavily and told what happened.
After listening to what Muchuan said, everyone turned pale with fear.
Even for a reckless general like Niu Bi, his eyes were as wide as lanterns at this moment, and he was obviously frightened.
"Brother Mu, don't dare to talk nonsense! Are you saying that we encountered a ghost and hit the wall?"
Niu Bi couldn't help but ask.
Muchuan shook his head, then nodded again.
This ambiguous answer naturally made Niu Bi confused for a while.
Niu Bi said anxiously: "Brother Mu, don't show off. Just say whatever you want. We are just rough people and don't understand the tricks of you literati."
"It means I can't understand it either."
Muchuan spread his hands and told the truth.
Now Muchuan is also confused, how can he explain it to everyone.
For a moment, everyone was extremely nervous.
At this time, someone suggested that they just sing the military bugle at the top of their lungs. Maybe the murderous atmosphere would shake the ghosts and break the wall on their own.
After all, most evil ghosts and dead souls would not dare to provoke the army.
Although Muchuan thought this method was nonsense, it was still better than doing nothing, so he agreed.
As a result, dozens of soldiers shouted bugles and led the way.
It had been more than an hour since I left, and my voice was hoarse from shouting, but I still wasn't out of the woods.
At this point, everyone was in despair, and an invisible threat of death loomed among the crowd.
Muchuan was deep in thought along the way, thinking about ways to escape.
However, Muchuan is not a Taoist priest after all, nor does he understand Yin and Yang Feng Shui. Even though this is a man-made maze of traps, Muchuan cannot think of any way to break it.
Since everyone was tired from walking, they sat down to rest first.
During this period, some timid soldiers couldn't help crying.
They can accept dying in battle, so that at least the court will give some pensions to their families, but if they die trapped in this damn place, then their death will be completely in vain!
The cry was so contagious that within a short time, almost everyone was in tears.
Even Niu Bi, a reckless man, secretly wiped away his tears.
This way of death is really too humiliating, and no one will accept it!
Muchuan had been thinking, but this time he was disturbed by the crying.
In desperation, Muchuan decided to take a walk by himself, to stay away from the crying and at the same time confirm his suspicion.
Ever since, Muchuan asked for a torch and planned to continue moving forward.
Seeing that Muchuan was really going to leave, Niu Bi suddenly became anxious.
You know, Muchuan is the only hope among them.
If something happened to Muchuan, they might not be able to get out for the rest of their lives!
"Brother Mu, don't be stupid!"
Niu Bi quickly grabbed Muchuan and persuaded him hard: "Maybe this ghost wall will be lifted during the day. Let's hold on a little longer!"
Hearing this, Muchuan felt dumbfounded.
I didn't intend to commit suicide.
Muchuan shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I'm just going to verify one thing."
Only then did Niu Bi let Muchuan go.
"Okay, brother Mu, feel free to go and verify it. If you are short of manpower, just say it and we will fully cooperate!"
Muchuan smiled bitterly, this was not a problem that could be solved with more people.
Anyway, Muchuan left the crowd and continued walking.
After walking two steps, Muchuan noticed a small figure following behind him.
Seeing that she had discovered her, she even lowered her head.
Even though the light was very dim, Muchuan also noticed that Xiaoying's face was still red.
Xiaoying thought he was going to die before and had the courage to say those words, but this time he felt embarrassed.
Muchuan smiled and walked towards Xiaoying.
Xiaoying was very panicked and didn't know what Muchuan planned to do.
Unexpectedly, Muchuan took her hand.
"Let's go together."
"Um!"
Afterwards, the two walked for a while, but suddenly they discovered that there was a fire in front of them.
The two of them sped up, and when they got closer, they were shocked to find that it was Niu Bi and the others who were sitting on the steps to rest!
Di Renjie was so smart that he discovered Muchuan and Xiaoying, and was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
"how so!"
Di Renjie's scream made everyone cheer up.
They also discovered Muchuan and the two of them, and they were almost scared out of their wits!
You know, they just saw Muchuan and Xiaoying walking forward, so why did they appear behind them again this time?
At this point, the last glimmer of hope in everyone's hearts has been shattered.
They know very well that what will greet them in the end is death.
