At this moment we have reached the end of the ruins, and the place my master pointed to is exactly here.

A raging fire broke out behind him. It was probably Brother Yaozi who was burning the four armored corpses. The flickering firelight spread in the darkness, and occasionally made crackling sounds...

Through the dim light of the fire, everything at the end came into view.

Dark green moss adheres to the stone walls polished by huge boulders. At first glance, there are no particularly prominent places or marks.

Seeing my frown getting tighter, my master said behind me: "This is almost the area you are facing. The Nine-Dead Yama has looked at this place more than once."

"It doesn't seem like much at first glance..."

I shook my head and walked towards the corner area, saying as I walked: "However, it's okay that you didn't mention this. But when you mentioned this, I suddenly thought of a problem, a problem that we had ignored before.

!”

My master walked side by side with me, without interrupting me, and gave me enough space and time to think.

This is his characteristic. He has always been a listener, not a teller. He is often the quietest one in the crowd. He will only give appropriate reminders when others go into misunderstandings. More

, he still left the choice to ourselves.

"There is a missing road here..."

I straightened out my thoughts and said: "Look, we have been walking around here for a while, and we have basically understood the situation inside. Have you ever seen any openings and passages in and out? Except for us

The hole they entered was basically a square enclosed space, but this was unjustifiable. This place was dug underground by the Three Eyes Kingdom. If there wasn't even a door, how did they get in and out?

?”

My master immediately understood what I meant: "You mean... the direction that Nine Lives Yama is looking at is actually the exit? It wanted to escape at that time, not because it was counting on something to save itself?"

"I don't rule out that possibility. Maybe besides it, there is really something else? The people in the whole city were turned over and buried alive by the earth dragon. Now that thousands of years have passed, if something powerful is not cultivated, I will feel that

It doesn’t make sense.”

I smiled and shrugged: "However, the entrance and exit should most likely be here!"

While I was talking, I had already walked to the area pointed by my master.

Underground buildings are subject to moisture vapor all year round, and corners and corners are most susceptible to disrepair. The same is true here. The stone slabs on the ground have long been broken, some have fallen off, and some have corroded and cracked. If you step on them, it will cause damage.

When shaking, there is a "gurgling" sound of water under the stone slab, and sometimes you can even clearly feel the fluffiness and elasticity of the soil under the stone slab.

Because what my master pointed out was an area, but a simple point. This area is not too big, but it is not too small either. In order to figure out where the doorway is, I can only check the polished areas one by one to have the same size.

slate.

There is nothing tricky about this job. A rich man like Fu Huicheng must be able to throw all kinds of high-priced modern instruments at the front and directly detect what is going on behind him.

We are craftsmen who rely on our craftsmanship to make a living. We are no better than the wealthy. We can only use the old method of touching, knocking, and listening.

Touching means touching the mechanism, touching the dark pavilion. There is no absolutely perfect mechanism in the world. Under the hands of our courtesy officers, nothing can be avoided.

It's just that it's covered in moss and feels a bit disgusting to the touch.

As for knocking and listening, they are actually connected together. It is nothing more than judging the thickness of the stone wall and whether there is any content behind it through the feeling of knocking, echo, etc.

I was checking each piece here, and Brother Yaozi had finished his work. Zhang Xinya and Lao Bai also woke up one after another, and a group of people gathered in this place one after another.

Everyone rested for a while, and after repeated inspections, I had located a stone wall slightly to the right in the middle.

The material and thickness of the stone wall are exactly the same as those in other locations. The difference is that behind the stone walls in other locations is the real material, which should be the stone wall used here. Behind the wall is soil, but behind this stone wall is

Empty.

The most important thing is that if you press the sides of the stone wall with your hands and exert force, the stone wall can shake slightly!

Seeing me staying in front of a stone wall for a long time, Brother Yaozi already knew the result. He immediately stood up with a hammer and asked: "Do you want a hand? Pry or smash?"

"It's better not to do anything!"

I frowned and said: "This should be a stone door with a shaft. From the echo, it is at most forty centimeters thick and not heavy. It can be pushed open with just one push, but... I always feel something is wrong."

"Something's wrong?"

Brother Yaozi's expression turned solemn: "What's wrong?"

"It tastes wrong."

I said: "You are too far away. It is normal to only smell the smell of mold and rot, but it is different here. I can smell a stink."

As I said that, I squatted down, inserted a sapper shovel into the gap of a broken floor, and with a slight pry, the floor lifted up. There was mud underneath, and several dormant ground lice were frightened and immediately fled in all directions.

Come on.

Immediately, I grabbed a handful of black mud and put it to the tip of my nose to smell it, then shook it off and said seriously: "The smell comes from under the feet. This kind of underground ruins with a lot of water vapor, we can't say enough about it."

Five or six years old, the mud in the corners does have a smell, but it is a fishy and fishy smell similar to urine. The mud here... is smelly!

That's right, it smells just like the mud next to the pig pen in the countryside, it smells very choking."

Brother Yaozi came forward, squatted down and smelled the soil with hesitation, and then said: "What kind of details is this?"

"I can't tell. If I could tell, I wouldn't be stuck here."

I sighed: "Just because this smell is not normal, I thought... I am afraid that this door cannot be opened. Just when I put my hands on it and was about to push it open, for some reason, the hair all over my body suddenly exploded.

It feels so damn similar to the last time I encountered the Acid Tomb..."

Brother Yaozi now understands everything. The acid soil tomb we dug last time is related to Donghu, and its location is also in Inner Mongolia. Speaking of it, the two places are not too far apart. They are both located in the Greater Khingan Mountains.

Kuaiwei, at that time, a guy almost blew me up. There is still a small pit under the corner of my eye, which is the scar left at that time. A small grain of sand collapsed directly into the flesh...

"In this case...it's really not appropriate to break ground."

Brother Yao Zi thought for a while and said: "But if you leave such a place without knowing it clearly, you won't feel at ease! Lao Bai, you have a good nose. Come over and smell it to see if there is any mystery in the soil.

?”

Lao Bai is a smart little guy. Ever since I mentioned that the smell of the soil was wrong, he vaguely guessed what I was going to do. He hid in the back in a very obscene manner, saying "You can't see me, look at me."

"Don't see me", he walked out reluctantly after his name was called.

"Brother, I'm going to die..."

Lao Bai gave me a helpless look and said: "The ability to tamper with bones and find fragrance amplifies the sense of smell so many times. You can make me faint with just one fart, but now you make me smell the smelly mud. Don't you have a conscience?"

Will it hurt?”

Even so, under the gaze of a large group of people, he had to use all kinds of skills to go up and smell it. His face immediately turned green, his Adam's apple surged a few times, and his cheeks suddenly bulged. It was obvious that there was something wrong.

Something came up, but it was also a ruthless person. When I raised my head, the "gudong" suddenly returned to normal, which made my eyelids jump...

Immediately, Lao Bai returned to normal with lightning speed, took three steps and two steps back, and then he gasped for breath. Waves of intoxicating fragrance came out of his mouth. Xiao Zhi, who was sitting next to him, immediately flashed.

Drive a long way.

"The taste... is indeed quite strange."

After holding it in for a long time, Lao Bai said slowly: "It seems to smell like rotten eggs..."

Brother Yaozi also felt that this guy was tired, and frowned: "Is it the smell of mud, or is it your own smell?"

"Look at what you said..."

Lao Bai said unhappily: "My mouth smells like alcohol. If you don't believe me, come here and smell it..."

Xiaozhi timidly interrupted him and added: "It's like drinking swill..."
