Lin Heng slowly walked to the bottom of the stairs. He used the flashlight to look around and saw that the cave was made up of stone walls. Water dripped down from the stone walls and onto the wooden stairs. The stairs looked very slippery!
Then, Lin Heng carefully stepped on the wooden stairs and approached the bottom of the stairs step by step. The surroundings were so quiet that it was scary. He could only hear his own breathing and heartbeat!
Lin Heng didn't dare to breathe loudly, afraid that he would disturb them. It was so scary in this quiet night, unlike the bamboo forest outside where he had someone to accompany him. He could hear the sound of the wind blowing the bamboo by his ears! However, in this basement, he wanted some sound, but he was afraid of it. The contradiction in his heart made him very depressed!
Lin Heng carefully walked down step by step and finally reached the last step. Lin Heng turned around and looked at the wooden stairs. It was very long and he didn't know how long it took him to get down!
In the blink of an eye, he began to size up the basement. It was very large and there were many holes that extended in all directions. The size of those holes was about that of a 2-meter-tall adult. The air was also very turbid and there was a musty smell everywhere. Lin Heng sneezed loudly and immediately scared Lin Heng out of his wits. He immediately covered his mouth with his hand!
The sound of the sneeze echoed in the basement for at least half a minute before it completely disappeared. Lin Heng was stunned. It was as if half a year had passed, and it had completely solidified!
After a long time, Lin Heng finally reacted. He patted his chest and thought,""It's fine, it's fine. It's such an old basement. What can there be? I was just scaring myself!”
After consoling himself, Lin Heng walked confidently to the hall in front of him. There was only the sound of Lin Heng's footsteps, breathing, and heartbeat around him, as if there was no life around him! Lin Heng then went to the hall and shone his flashlight around. Suddenly, he stopped at a stone wall. He saw some ancient words carved on the stone wall and some ancient figures. Lin Heng walked closer to take a look. He couldn't understand the words, but he could understand a little about the painting. It was a man wearing a general's robe instructing his soldiers to pull a big rock and something unknown into the distance. Lin Heng felt that it was an ancient building. Then, Lin Heng took out his diary and copied down a paragraph of text on the wall. Finally, he saw an arrow pointing at a fork in the road!
Lin Heng finally understood. This basement was like a branch that split into several branches. A few branches split into five or six branches, and five or six branches split into more than ten branches, and so on. In the end, it was the same for hundreds or thousands of branches. When Lin Heng thought of this, he broke out in a cold sweat because it was easy to get lost. If he got lost, he would be trapped here forever!
However, Lin Heng also sighed at the wisdom of the ancients and the greatness of the person who created such an underground maze! Lin Heng was still deciding if he should listen to the arrow on the drawing. If he made a mistake, he wouldn't be able to get out. Lin Heng's heart was also in a mess. In the end, Lin Heng nodded firmly, indicating that if he didn't enter the tiger's den, he wouldn't get the tiger cub. Therefore, he decided to take the risk and walked towards the fork indicated by the arrow. He then used a hard object to leave a deep hole in the wall of the entrance!
He walked into another hall. The surroundings were still the same, with many forks. Lin Heng looked around again and stopped at the stone wall. There were some words and paintings there. Lin Heng memorized the ancient words as usual and finished reading the paintings. One of the paintings recorded a general in armor commanding a group of women. Looking at the faces of the women in the paintings, they were all very young, about 18 to 20 years old. They were dressed in ancient clothes and were heading into the distance. Where were they going? The painting didn't say it clearly!
Lin Heng was also very depressed because he was allowed to see a little and then not allowed to see it. He always felt very aggrieved! In the end, Lin Heng decided not to think about it anymore. Following that, the ancient arrow prompted him to go to the third fork!
When he came out of the fork that led to the third hall, he saw a large stone door in front of him. It should have been a stone wall with words and paintings, but there was no one. There was only a large stone door. Lin Heng walked closer and touched it. He felt that he could open the large stone door, but he did not know where to open it!
Then, in order to open the big stone door, Lin Heng used the flashlight to observe the surroundings. He used the flashlight to shine around and suddenly saw a nine-palace pattern far away from the stone door. There were nine ancient characters written on it, but it also looked like a pattern. Lin Heng could not understand what the ancient characters represented, but Lin Heng still reached out and casually turned the nine-palace pattern. Perhaps God was helping Lin Heng. As he turned, Lin Heng's back felt a little itchy, so he stopped. He stopped turning and scratched his back with his hand!
After scratching the itch, Lin Heng wanted to walk around. Just as he was about to stretch out his hand, there was a sudden rumbling sound. The ground shook and the mountains shook as if the entire basement of the ancient building was about to collapse. Lin Heng could not even stand steadily and fell to the ground. The flashlight fell to the side!
A few minutes later, everything returned to normal. Lin Heng picked up the flashlight again and was shocked when he saw that the stone door was open. Lin Heng was not in a hurry to go in and take a look. Instead, he wrote down the nine ancient characters at the door in their current order!
After memorizing it, Lin Heng adjusted his frightened state of mind! When the tremors occurred, the only thought that came to Lin Heng's mind was that he might have turned the Nine Palaces Diagram wrongly and triggered the mechanism of the underground maze, causing destruction. He would be the first living person to be buried alive!
After patting his chest and adjusting his state of mind, Lin Heng slowly walked into the stone wall alone. He used the flashlight to shine around and suddenly found a set of human bones in the corner. Lin Heng almost fainted. Especially when he used the flashlight to shine, the human bones reflected a pale green light like a ghost fire. In this eerie and quiet basement, it was like going home at night. Suddenly, someone said in a low voice,"Brother, where are you going? That was the feeling!
Fortunately, Lin Heng had experienced the phenomenon of melting corpses. Otherwise, he would have fainted long ago. Even now, Lin Heng was sweating profusely. However, Lin Heng's curiosity was greater than anything else. He stopped looking at the ghastly skull and turned to look at the body."Why does this look like modern clothes? Looking at the fabric, it's obvious. Could it be that someone came in here before and died here? It should be. If it was the corpse of an ancient person, the bones would have scattered on the ground long ago. However, the bones are so well preserved that they are sitting close to the stone wall. Someone must have entered here before. The clothes are still preserved so well that the lace can be seen. It must have been within 10 years. The book said that if a dead person is buried underground, they will turn into bones in four to five years. Based on the time, That must be the case!
Then, Lin Heng moved closer and observed the skull of the unknown dead man. Lin Heng took a closer look and found that there was something hidden in the bone clothes. He then said,""What is this!"
