452. Chapter One Hundred and Eight: Wealthy Enemies(1/2)
Hearing this, we turned our heads and looked at Fang Xiang at the same time, wanting to hear him explain what the content on the murals of this cave were.
Fang Xiang shines the flashlight on the wall, and said seriously: "This mural doesn't mean much to us, at most it is a reference information."
"Reference information? What reference information?" I walked up and shone the wall with a flashlight, asking for no clarity.
Fang Xiang smiled and said: The content on the mural roughly means that there are endless dangers and the most important treasures in the world hidden in front. If you overcome the endless dangers in front, you can obtain the most important treasures in the world.
After saying this, Fang Xiang turned around and said to us: This mural is not very useful to us, so let’s continue on the road.
Boss Dong nodded and took over the conversation and said: I remember walking a while further forward you can see the stone gate. Behind the stone gate is the secret room leading to the Wan Yao Palace.
After the words were finished, Boss Dong took the initiative to lead the way, and we followed Boss Dong.
I deliberately slowed down and walked beside Fang Xiang because I felt that Fang Xiang's words should not be complete, and the murals of the cave should not have only such a simple meaning.
After hearing my question, Fang Xiang smiled and glanced at me and said: Why haven’t you seen you so smart before?
"Everyone can change." I rolled my eyes and asked: So, what does the mural mean?
Fang Xiang was silent for a while and whispered in my ear: The general meaning is still what I just said, but I didn't say what the endless danger hidden in front of me meant.
I understand what Fang Xiang means. Fang Xiang must be worried that speaking out what is hidden in front will cause people's hearts to be confused, so he didn't say it.
"What is that hidden danger?" I asked in confusion.
Fang Xiang said: Why is the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons called the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons?
I said, I didn't know, I've never been there again.
"Because there is a very likely monster inside." Fang Xiang said.
I was stunned and asked: What do you mean is there monsters in the Ten Thousand Demons Palace?
"That's roughly what it means." Fang Xiang confirmed.
I didn't say anything, and thought of Boss Dong telling us about the contents of the Ten Thousand Demons Hall in Dongting Tower. Seventy years ago, Boss Dong came to the Ten Thousand Demons Hall once and opened the door of the Ten Thousand Demons Hall. However, Boss Dong did not enter the Ten Thousand Demons Hall, which is why he survived in the end. However, Boss Dong said that the moment the gate of the Ten Thousand Demons Hall opened, he saw countless pairs of blood-red eyes inside.
Could it be that the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons is as its name, and there are Ten Thousand Demons in it?
In the past, I must have sneered at the theory of demons, but now I really believe that there is a demon, because there is a living standing in front of me.
Fang Xiang patted my shoulder and said disdainfully: Don’t be afraid. With me here, no monster is easy to use.
I rolled my eyes and said, "Surrive on, even if there is really a demon inside, there is no room for retreat."
In this way, the few of us threw the murals in the cave behind us and continued to walk forward.
Not long after we left this time, we found a closed stone door.
But the moment he saw the stone gate, Boss Dong was a little confused.
"I remember when I escaped here, the stone gate was wide open, why is it closed now?" Boss Dong walked to the stone gate, reached out to touch it for a while, and said incomprehensible.
I asked: Could it be that you left in a hurry and remembered wrongly?
"No! I looked back before leaving that year and was sure that the stone door was open."
Since that's the case, then it's a bit hard to figure it out.
No one can come to this island all year round, because most people can't get through the sea area around the island.
Could it be that there are people in this island?
I thought of the mysterious man who sent me a text message. Since he said that he could find him by finding the cycle of life and death, it proved that he might be with the cycle of life and death, which means that he is very likely to be in this island and in the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons.
Thinking of this, I said: No matter what, open the stone gate first to see if the road to the Ten Thousand Demons Palace is still there.
Although Boss Dong didn't say anything, his face looked a little bad, and he must be worried that something unexpected would happen.
I handed the flashlight to Fang and wanted him to illuminate it for me, and then slowly pushed open the stone door in front of me with both hands.
The stone door was not very heavy, nor was it a special shaft. I just used a little force and the stone door was slowly pushed open by me.
After the stone door was pushed open, it was still pitch black. We took out a flashlight and shone the secret room inside. We found that there was a hexagonal well in the center of the secret room.
The width of the well can be about 1.5 meters, and it will be no problem if you go down one person.
When I saw the well, I did not rush to the well, but looked at Fang Xiang and nodded, and began to shine the secret room with a flashlight to check if there was any hidden danger.
After seeing this, I found that the corners of this secret room and the well are the same, both of which are hexagonal, and I don’t know what the meaning of building this shape is.
However, there is nothing else in this secret room except this well, so it should be safe.
Boss Dong walked to the well, looked inside, took a deep breath and said to us: This is the way to the Ten Thousand Demons Palace. From here you can reach the bronze gate.
I said: Don’t worry, didn’t you bring a bird? Let the bird down first and see if the air is circulating.
Boss Dong nodded, tied the prepared nylon rope to the bird cage, then grabbed a corner of the nylon rope and slowly placed the bird cage down.
The three of us stayed by Boss Dong and waited for the result.
The rope under our feet became shorter and shorter, and Boss Dong's face became more and more serious. No one said anything, and only a slight breathing sound remained in the entire secret room.
After about a minute, Boss Dong grabbed the rope's hand and paused slightly, looked up and said to us: It's the end.
I turned my head and looked at the remaining rope on the ground, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Boss Dong said at that time that the passage to Wan Yao Hall was about 70 meters high. When buying nylon ropes, we bought a little more to prevent the height from being inaccurate. Now there are still more than ten meters of ropes left on the ground, which is enough for us to safely reach below.
It is necessary to verify whether there is air flow underground. During this period, Boss Dong kept holding on to the rope and waited for about ten minutes before Boss Dong started to pull up the rope to see if the bird was still alive.
If there is no air circulation underground, the bird will definitely be suffocated to death in these ten minutes.
But I think there should be air circulation underground. After all, the space underground is not completely sealed. Isn’t there a well connected to it?
Thinking of the air, I suddenly thought of the boss who had practiced the mysterious art, and immediately patted his head with some regret.
Fang Xiang asked me what was wrong. I smiled bitterly and said it was okay, but I thought to myself that it would be better to let the boss go down and take a look just now, which would save a lot of time.
Since the bird has been put down, it should be pulled up. I didn't carry it.
Seeing that we had no objection, Boss Dong was about to start pulling the rope up, but before he could pull the boss Dong's arm, he sank down suddenly. Then he raised his head and shouted in horror: Something is holding the rope down!
Hearing this, I subconsciously climbed to the wellhead and looked down, but couldn't even see a ball.
Fang Xiang kicked me up angrily and said: What if you can see it? Pull the rope quickly.
I came to my senses and grabbed the rope and pulled it up. I was secretly ready to use the endless power in the demon's heart, but when I pulled it, it seemed particularly easy. In terms of weight, no one grabbed the rope below.
I frowned and pulled it a few times again, then turned around and looked at Boss Dong and said: No one is pulling the rope.
Boss Dong was stunned, stepped forward and grabbed the rope and pulled it up, and said strangely: It's not right. I clearly felt that someone was pulling the rope underneath, why is there no more now?
"Let the bird be pulled up first." I thought for a while and said.
There is no better way, so Boss Dong could only nod and continue to pull the rope upward. In order to prevent accidents, I also grabbed the rope and pulled it upwards with Boss Dong.
After more than a minute, we pulled the bird cage out from above. The birds in the bird cage were still jumping around. It seemed that the air under the ground was circulating.
I untied the nylon rope on the bird cage, placed the bird cage aside, and then wrapped the rope directly around my waist. The other party wanted to say: You go down first, I will pull the rope here, and I will go down after you all go down safely.
"We've all gone down, what do you do?" Fang Xiang asked me with a frown.
Boss Dong said at this time: There are two iron buckles on both sides of the wellhead, and the rope can be tied to the iron buckle.
I searched for the wellhead for a while, but I found two iron well buckles on the left and right sides of the wellhead.
This well buckle is like a door knocker on the main door, and it looks like two ears on the left and right sides of the wellhead.
Boss Dong said again: When we came seventy years ago, we tied the rope to this well and buckled it.
Hearing this, I nodded secretly and turned around and wanted to say, "You should go down first, I will go down last."
Fang Yao understood what I meant, and he carried the equipment and nodded at Ye Dangge. Then he grabbed the nylon rope I threw down with both hands and slowly went down.
Although there are iron buckles on both sides of the well, I still chose to hold the rope with both hands. After all, the iron buckle has been around for a long time, and no one knows whether the iron buckle is strong.
I wrapped my hands around the nylon rope, pressed the wellhead with one foot in front and the ground behind, and secretly used the power of the demon heart to think of this weight was easy for me.
After about five or six minutes, the weight of the rope fell down significantly decreased, and then the rope was gently pulled down. This was the prompt Fang Ying gave, which means that after all, he could continue to let others go.
I turned my head and said to Boss Dong: Boss Dong, please go first.
Boss Dong nodded with a complicated expression, grabbed the rope with both hands and stepped on the mountain wall and slowly slid down.
The reason why Boss Dong was the second one was actually to guard against him. If he was the first to go down, he would be unable to get out of danger. If we were all down, he would run away with the rope, wouldn’t we be completely finished?
Furthermore, although the rope can be tied to the sound of the well buckle on both sides of the wellhead, no one can be sure that the well buckle is not strong. I don’t worry if the well is not strong if I go down the last time, because the boss is still on me. If something happens, you can release the boss. This is also a way to escape.
No matter how much Boss Dong is, he is a little old and it took a lot of time to go down. After waiting for nearly ten minutes, Boss Dong pulled the rope and reminded us that we could continue to let someone go down.
I turned my head and looked at Ye Dangge and said: Princess, you go first, I will go first.
Ye Dangge ignored me, grabbed the rope and stepped on the mountain wall, and then slowly moved down.
I was a little speechless, but I didn't say much, just grabbed the rope and waited for Ye Dangge to go down.
About three or five minutes later, the rope was gently pulled down from underneath. I thought Ye Dangge also successfully landed. I didn't continue to trace the ink, so I tied one end of the rope to the iron buckles on both sides of the wellhead, and then pulled it hard to ensure that the iron buckles would not be damaged.
After doing all this, I grabbed the rope and stepped on the mountain wall with my feet, and slowly moved down.
Although the shape of the wellhead is hexagonal, the shape of the passage is round and the space is still large. Both of them do not seem crowded downward at the same time.
I saw this passage before when I was at the bottom of the sea, but what I saw was the shape of the passage was a pillar supporting the sea island and the sea island. In other words, I should be on the bottom of the sea now.
