And in the center of the crack, a staircase going downwards slowly appeared in front of everyone.
As the surrounding sand and stones fell away, the ancestral hall returned to its original appearance. In the center of the ancestral hall, a staircase about two meters wide and bottomless spread all the way to the depths of the ground. A dark staircase with no end was suddenly there.
"Damn, this is the underground staircase? I understand, no wonder this house is in such a bad state. I think it should be a shock when you come out of this staircase like this, right?" Dao Twelve said with a hint of shock.
Mo Yang looked around indifferently. Although what Dao Twelve said did make some sense, he had already scanned the surroundings. Except for the sand and stones that had fallen due to the vibration just now, which caused new traces in some places, most of the traces were very old.
And the taste is very natural.
Obviously, this is not caused by the underground mechanism being turned on for a long time, but in fact, it is indeed in disrepair.
"I think it's just a matter of spreading suspicion. The ancestral hall was deliberately set up to make outsiders think that this is the core. But when they actually arrived, they found that it was already deserted. It's like telling a lie. It's hard to tell the truth, but easy to spot a lie.
, but when it is true or false, it is the most difficult to figure out. This is also the meaning here." Ning Yue said softly.
Hearing this, Mo Yang nodded in approval.
Luring a tiger into a hole, and then seeing a field of dead bones, relaxing the enemy's vigilance, is actually a lie, and the most dangerous place is actually the safest place.
The old village chief glanced at Ning Yue strangely, said nothing more, walked to the side of the stairs in a few steps, and glanced at everyone: "Please."
Wang Simin took the lead and walked towards the stairs first. Others did not dare to neglect and followed one after another.
The group of people, as the stairs went deeper and deeper underground, the surrounding light became darker and darker. The old village chief clapped his hands gently, and suddenly, the braziers on the walls on both sides of the corridor suddenly lit up with a slight fire.
The entire staircase leading to the underground was dimly lit.
At a glance, if you throw it away, you won’t be able to see it to the end.
"This ladder has nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps." The old village chief said softly, as if sensing the doubts of the group of people, with an expressionless face.
"Based on the width and height of the floor, this means that the stairs go from the ground to the ground for more than 700 meters?" Wang Simin frowned.
The old village chief nodded.
"Damn, so deep?" Dao Twelve couldn't help but take a breath when he heard it.
"Go down."
No more talking nonsense, a group of people couldn't help but speed up their pace when there was light, and headed down step by step.
As we walked further in, the echoes of footsteps became louder and louder, and some people even felt that these echoes were mixed with bursts of strange sounds.
It's like a child laughing, a woman crying, someone whispering, or someone covering their mouth.
But as long as people stop for a moment, everything seems to come to a sudden stop.
Could it be that it's an illusion?
With such an uneasy feeling, a group of people went deeper inside.
After about dozens of minutes, as the last flight of stairs was completed, the heavy person's feet landed on the ground.
"We're here." The old village chief murmured.
As soon as he finished speaking, the fires on the walls on both sides lit up again.
However, it was no longer just the two sides, but including the front and inside, eight large basins of fire immediately burned!
Yellow light suddenly illuminated the entire space. There were thick walls of earth on both sides. Only in front, two majestic silver doors appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Matching them are the stone beasts beside the two doors, which look like tigers, lions, unicorns and leopards, but they seem to be neither of them.
They opened their mouths to spurt blood and roared angrily.
In the center of the two doors, a huge silver lock plate connected the two doors together, and in the center of the lock, there was a huge keyhole, which was impressive.
