It was dark inside, but the dust on the wooden stairs had obviously been washed away by a footprint.

This basically means that someone should have been here.

The stairs hidden here are very narrow, so when going down, it is not that convenient and you have to be careful.

After walking down about twenty or thirty steps, I suddenly saw the scene outside.

The scene seems to be a canyon.

There were rocks in the canyon. At first, I thought I had seen it wrong.

But after rubbing his eyes, he realized that he had not seen it wrong.

I suddenly realized something. When we came here just now, our eyes were attracted by the thousand-story pagoda, and we did not see the scene on the other side of the pagoda.

No one would have thought that there is a canyon hidden on the other side of the pagoda.

In addition, the entrance to this canyon is not very big and has just been blocked by the pagoda.

After a while, we started going down the stairs.

After going down the steps, we stepped on the stones on the ground. The air here circulated a lot, and I felt a sense of relief.

I took a deep breath, but soon started coughing again.

Zhang Qing asked with concern: "Master Xiao Zhuo, are you okay? Are you okay?"

"Well, it's okay."

That weird black smoke still hurt me.

I stared at this canyon. The canyon was relatively empty, and there was a road extending forward. After waiting for a while, I looked back and saw the pagoda. From this perspective, the location of the pagoda was indeed a bit strange.

.

And looking at the pagoda now, it still gives people a more majestic feeling.

I suddenly thought, what did these guys think when they built a pagoda here?

But the place I chose is indeed interesting.

Jiang Yuelang said now: "Brother Chen, should we pursue him now?"

"Chasing, can you catch me?"

I spoke.

"Then we can't let Sister Xiao take risks on her own?"

Jiang Yuelang looked worried.

When I saw this, I said, "Let's go forward and take a look."

The place we are in now is a bit strange, maybe because the space here is still a bit narrow, so it gives people an invisible feeling of depression.

We walked for a while, but found no traces of Xiao Miao and others along the way.

Jiang Langyue also wanted to take out his mobile phone to make a call, but in such a ghost place, how could there be a signal? The mobile phone could not make calls at all.

The time now is also ten o'clock in the morning, and the place is a bit cold.

After walking forward for ten minutes, I still found nothing.

"Let's rest first."

After struggling for so long, I'm a little tired.

Jiang Yuelang was a little reluctant when he heard me say rest, and said to me: "Brother Chen, we came in together. We can't let anything happen to sister Xiao. If something happens to her later, we won't be able to explain to Mr. Xiao when we go back."

"When you come out to a place like this, you have to put your head in your belt. If something happens, you can't blame others. You can only blame yourself for not having the ability."

I said angrily.

When you come to this place, you really have to have a sense of consciousness. If you die here, it will really be your own life, and no one can blame you.

"Brother Chen, isn't it a bit heartless of you to say this?"

Jiang Yuelang began to say dissatisfiedly.

"Then you go look for it yourself first, I will follow you later."

I glanced at him.

"Just go find it."

He called to his two men and gave chase.

Zhang Qing and I were staying where we were. At this time, I saw some broken wood nearby, so I picked it up and asked Zhang Qing to make a bonfire.

But at this time, I was still coughing non-stop.

As I kept coughing, I took another sip of water to suppress it first.

But it was useless to drink water this time. A mouthful of black blood soon seemed to be unbearable and he vomited it out.

Black blood spat out and stained the ground.

When Zhang Qing saw this, worry appeared on his face, "Master Xiao Zhuo, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

After spitting out the mouthful of black blood, I suddenly felt better.

I waved my hand and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, I'm fine."

The bonfire was lit and began to release heat. I put my hands on it to bake.

We ate some more food by the way, and after our strength recovered a little, we stood up. Just when we were about to continue walking, Jiang Yuelang and the others suddenly returned.

Several people looked pretty good.

I became curious and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Jiang Yuelang sat down panting, "I can't find it. There is nothing in front of me. We are exhausted. Let's take a rest first."

He sat down and led his men to warm themselves by the fire.

I picked up some more firewood, and the flames grew stronger again, illuminating the space here a little brighter.

I saw them returning to warm themselves by the fire, so I didn't act in a hurry.

They also quickly brought out something to heat up and eat.

I looked into the canyon. It was pitch black inside, and it seemed like I couldn't see the end. I vaguely felt that something was hidden inside.

After they finished eating and rested for half an hour, I said, "Is it time to go?"

Jiang Yuelang stood up and said, "Well, let's go."

We got up and walked forward. We walked for about ten minutes. It was indeed similar to what Jiang Yuelang said. We walked all the way and found nothing.

Except for some stones on the ground, there are no Buddha statues even on the walls.

Everything here seems to be in its most original state.

In ten minutes, we adults can walk a mile or two.

From such a long distance, we still couldn't see any traces left by Xiao Miao and the others.

I couldn't help but wonder if Xiao Miao and the others had never taken this path at all.

And this canyon keeps extending forward and going out. Will it be possible to walk out directly?

After walking for another ten minutes, I suddenly saw something appear on the wall.

Under the illumination of our flashlights, a dark shadow appeared at first. When I looked over, I saw a corpse hanging on it. For a moment, my heart was in my throat.

"There is something."

I said in a low voice.

When everyone heard my voice, they all looked upward and saw the body above.

The height of this canyon is about 20 to 30 meters high. The canyon is a bit narrow, and there are still echoes when we talk here.

The place where the body was hanging was about fifteen meters away. I saw there were ropes around the body. When I got closer, I saw nails on the wall.

This kind of nail is used for climbing and fixing ropes.

The corpse looked old, and all the moisture on it seemed to have dried.
