Liu Shiba gently knocked on the small piece of bluestone a few times, and was surprised to find that it was also solid.
There is no hollow echo behind the bluestone wall, does that mean there is nothing behind the wall?
Liu Shiba, who was full of doubts, was about to walk away when he couldn't help but kicked the small bluestone hard with his foot.
"Bata!"
At this time, Liu Shiba realized that the small bluestone seemed to be a little loose, and he squatted down again quietly to observe carefully.
"Eighteen, go away."
Cao Xiong stood behind Liu Shiba and said strangely.
"What's wrong?"
Liu Shiba bared his teeth and glared at Cao Xiong.
"I really don't know what your grandfather taught you. This is just a very simple mechanism. I'll open it and you stand aside."
Cao Xiong said angrily with a sullen face.
Liu Shiba stood up and stepped aside!
Cao Xiong put down his backpack and squatted down, placing his palms on the small bluestone and pushing it inward.
"Hi!"
Seeing that there was no movement, Cao Xiong also got angry. He groaned, took a deep breath, and pushed hard again...
With a strong push, the piece of bluestone sank into the wall, about a finger's length.
At this moment, Liu Shiba's expression changed, and he felt that the whole ancestral hall shook slightly, and a lot of dust and some bird droppings fell from the dome.
"Little master, come over here quickly."
The loud barking of Li Ergou came from the door.
After getting out from behind the altar table and walking to the front of the ancestral hall, Liu Shiba and Cao Xiong opened their eyes in surprise.
The stone slab Liu Shiba was standing on just now, the one with forty-nine numbers on the front and back, was missing...
Quickly walking over and taking a look, Liu Shiba discovered that where the bluestone slab originally stood, there was a corridor about one meter wide and one meter and a half high, and the bluestone slab had sunk to the bottom.
Liu Shiba frowned strangely and said:
"Isn't it solid? Why is there a hole..."
"Old Hei, go down and walk to the front!"
Liu Shiba turned around and called out.
When Lao Hei heard the sound, he jumped over, lay down at the gloomy entrance of the cave, sniffed, and jumped down.
"Uncle Ergou, Aunt Cuihua, you go last."
Liu Shiba looked at the equally dumbfounded Ergou couple and said.
"Little master, let's go ahead, shall we? If there is danger, it would be nice to have a warning?"
Li Ergou glanced at Cuihua and muttered.
"No, there is Lao Hei in front of me exploring the way. It's okay. You go to the back. By the way, don't call me little master from now on. Just call me Shiba."
Liu Shiba scratched his head and remembered the embarrassing incident when he and his grandfather opened the window of Cuihua's house to peek at the bath when they were young.
Cuihua is an old woman in her fifties, but her body is still fair and tender, and her charm has not diminished. She is also an anomaly.
…………
Then, Liu Shiba took out the flashlight from his backpack, held the machete, put the backpack on his back, fixed it with a knotted buckle in the front, and gently jumped down the dark corridor...
After Liu Shiba landed, Cao Xiong cautiously jumped down and took out two flashlights and handed them to Li Ergou and his wife.
Liu Shiba hunched his body and looked forward. Lao Hei was waiting for him five or six meters away, staring warily into the unknown darkness ahead.
What appeared in front of us was a dark corridor filled with the smell of decay. It was about 1.5 meters high and 1 meter wide, just enough for a person to bend down and move forward slowly.
"Let's go!"
Liu Shiba took a deep breath, bravely followed Lao Hei, and slowly walked forward along the dark corridor...
The four of them walked slowly. Liu Shiba looked around as he walked. The entire corridor was very clean, but the air was extremely turbid.
Perhaps because it has been isolated from the air for a long time, there is not much dust in the corridor. The corridor is made of the same bluestones as those used in the ancestral hall.
"Eighteen, this place is old, be careful."
Cao Xiong whispered instructions behind Liu Shiba.
"Well, it's okay. Is there anything weird about this place?"
Liu Shiba answered casually.
Cao Xiong was silent for a while and said with a sinister smile:
"Maybe, there are many unexplainable things in this world. Old man, I heard strange stories about corpse transformation when I was a child.
Just say that the acquired spiritual body Tai Sui in human form, if you hadn’t seen it, could you believe that there is such an evil thing?”
When Liu Shiba heard this, the hairs all over his body stood up, he trembled, turned around and said angrily:
"You old man raised me, don't scare me, okay? This is the ancestral grave of your Cao family.
Even if there is a moth, it still depends on your face, right? I heard that those zombies specifically look for relatives who are related to them by blood."
While talking, Liu Shiba looked back at Cao Xiong with a sinister smile...
Immediately afterwards, an inexplicable dark wind blew...
The flashlight shone on Liu Shiba's face, and the sinister smile frightened even Cao Xiong, a bold old man...
"You bastard, do you know that you can scare people to death?"
Cao Xiong pursed his lips, and the hand holding the knife shook violently.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Not far away, Lao Hei whimpered a few times.
Lao Hei?
What was found?
"Shh..."
Liu Shiba and Cao Xiong looked at each other in fear, picked up their machetes at the same time, and quietly moved forward for more than ten meters.
When he shined the flashlight, he found that Lao Hei had his head raised, his tongue sticking out, and he was staring at a lampstand inlaid on the blue wall tiles.
Liu Shiba randomly shone his flashlight forward and discovered that there was a lampstand on the wall every ten meters apart.
Why is Lao Hei interested in the lampstand?
Walking closer, Liu Shiba leaned over and took a closer look. The lampstand should be made of bronze, only the size of a fist, with a dark wick as thick as a little finger standing on it.
Liu Shiba's heart brightened, he took out a big Chinese stick and lit it, took a puff of it happily, and casually put the lighter close to it.
No one has been to this place for how many years, yet the lampstand is on fire at the drop of a hat?
Looking at the sizzling blue demonic flames, Liu Shiba couldn't help but wonder, what kind of material is the lamp oil in this lampstand made of?
Can it still be lit after all these years?
"Old Cao, what do you think this lamp oil is made of? If it were from the Three Kingdoms period, could it still be lit after being left for more than a thousand years?"
Liu Shiba turned around and glanced at Cao Xiong, who had a sore face.
Cao Xiong frowned, as if he thought of something, glanced at the lampstand doubtfully, and finally shook his head and said:
"I'm not sure, maybe your grandfather added the lamp oil?"
Then four people and one dog walked all the way and lit all the lampstands on the blue brick wall.
As he walked, Liu Shiba couldn't help but feel more and more confused. He didn't know where the tunnel led to.
Judging from the topography, it is obvious that the corridor is gradually going downwards. From the entrance to the present, we have walked almost half a mile, and we should have reached the depths of Shiding Peak.
The strange and gloomy corridor is unknown for how long. It seems that there are some ventilation facilities inside. Judging from the lighted lampstand on the wall, there is still plenty of oxygen inside.
Just walking forward like this, after walking for about half a mile, a simple stone gate finally appeared in front of the four people and one dog.
There is a thick layer of dust on the stone door, with a tiger pattern carved on it.
Lao Hei was spinning around, sniffing around the crack in the door, whimpering softly, as if he smelled something that excited him.
Standing quietly in front of the stone gate, Liu Shiba turned his head and glanced at Cao Xiong and Li Ergou.
Then Liu Shiba and Cao Xiong took a deep breath at the same time, raised their hands, put their palms on the stone door, and pushed in hard.
"boom!"
With a dull rattling sound, the stone door slowly moved a few inches inward, and an inexplicable strange smell wafted in front of it.
When you smell it carefully, it seems to be the smell of lamp oil on the brick wall of the corridor, and at the same time, there is boundless darkness rushing towards you...
Then, a gust of dark wind slowly floated out, making the four of them feel cold and their hairs stood on end...
"Woo...ho!"
The hair on Lao Hei's back also stood up, and he let out low whimpering sounds.
The four of them held their breath at the same time, and the whole space became eerily silent for an instant. They could only hear their hearts pounding...
