The road up the mountain has flat steps with a slight slope, and it is not very strenuous to walk up. However, there are no street lights. Fortunately, Du Jun carefully prepared a flashlight to illuminate the way forward for everyone.

The surroundings are either rocks or deep woods. In the dark night, there are a few strange bird calls from time to time, coupled with the cool breeze, giving people an eerie feeling.

Fortunately, there are many people. Even if you encounter a wild beast, as long as everyone swarms up without fighting, the wild beast can be scared away. Simply put, more people make you bolder.

The mountain is not a famous mountain, so it is not high, but there are thousands of steps. When you reach the middle of the mountain, there will always be people with weak physical strength who can't walk anymore and clamor to take a rest.

Du Jun agreed that everyone should rest there for a while. Looking back, he could see the scene at the bottom of the mountain. The brightly lit ancient town at night was incompatible with the surrounding darkness. The darkness only made the night scene of the ancient town more beautiful. I believe that standing at a higher place would have a better view.

Feel it differently.

Everyone was resting, drinking water and chatting. Lin Xi was talking and laughing with a few girls. Suddenly the topic turned to Gu Fan, who asked Lin Xi why her boyfriend didn't come.

Lin Xi knew how to give Gu Fan face, so he made an excuse for someone who was feeling a little unwell, probably because he was not acclimatized, so he just helped Gu Fan cover it up. This is why Gu Fan liked Lin Xi's willingness so much.

A girl who is gentle, considerate and considerate, is so beautiful, has such big eyes, and has such good skin, that man can resist her.

While everyone was paying attention to the scenery, several girls quietly told Lin Xi how Du Jun was doing. They said that they originally thought Lin Xi would be with Du Jun, but they didn't expect to be intercepted by Gu Fan, but they still couldn't.

I think Lin Xi and Du Jun are a good match.

In response, Lin Xi just smiled and stopped answering. She knew in her heart that these girls had a good relationship with Du Jun, so it was reasonable to say good things to Du Jun, but it was not what Du Jun wanted them to say.

It’s unknown.

Suddenly a male classmate made a joke: "Do you think there are any ghosts in this deep mountain forest?"

After hearing this, everyone's hearts tightened, and they felt a chill for no reason. Then there were a few strange sounds of bird-footing in the dark woods, which immediately frightened a few timid girls and told the male classmate to stop talking nonsense.

.

At this time, Du Jun said: "Don't worry, everyone, all the ghosts and monsters are fake. We have to believe in science. Besides, if this mountain is really haunted, then the people in the ancient town would have known about it a long time ago, and they should stop us."

, but they didn’t say anything.”

Everyone felt that Du Jun's words were very convincing, and they felt relieved. However, thoughts of monsters and ghosts flashed through their minds from time to time, and everyone was still a little scared.

While everyone was resting, Du Jun took a flashlight to look at it and found something strange not far away. The forest was not complete and seemed to have collapsed in a large area.

Du Jun told everyone what he had discovered and said he would go take a look. Since it was not far away, he passed by without asking for everyone's opinions. No one took it seriously. Everyone trusted Du Jun and knew

He won't mess around.

A sudden exclamation startled everyone. When everyone looked back, they found that Du Jun was missing and his flashlight did not emit light.

"What's going on, where is Du Junren?" Lin Xi's face changed color, and the others were also frightened. Suddenly a cool breeze blew by, and everyone shivered involuntarily. Even a few timid female classmates turned pale, and in their minds

Thoughts of monsters and ghosts appeared again.

A male classmate had the courage to shout three times: "Du Jun, Du Jun, Du Jun," but he didn't get any response. Everyone was immediately frightened. How could a good person just disappear after saying no?

Is this place really haunted?

Lin Xi forced himself to calm down and said, "Don't be afraid, everyone, let's go take a look together."

"Okay... okay..." The remaining people stood close together, one by one, and everyone slowly walked towards the place where Du Jun disappeared. Their heartbeats were beating fast, and they were so nervous that even their breathing seemed to freeze.

Same.

Getting closer, getting closer, the male students walking in front of me felt a chill, their bodies were trembling slightly, and they didn't know whether it was because they were scared or because the female students behind them were scared.

Although Lin Xi is very strong, she is still a girl after all. She also hides behind boys. At this moment, what she is thinking about is that it would be great if Gu Fan comes with her at this time. After all, he is her real boyfriend and will definitely protect her.

Suddenly a ray of light came on, almost startling everyone, and then they saw an embarrassed figure crawling out of a pit, and heard a complaint: "Oh my god, I didn't pay attention to my steps, and I accidentally fell down."

"

After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be a false alarm.

Lin Xi couldn't help but complain: "Du Jun, you know, you almost scared us to death."

Du Jun, who was thrown into disgrace, also apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect that the soil under my feet suddenly collapsed. Fortunately, it's okay, otherwise it would have been tragic."

Someone raised a question: "Since you fell into a pit, you should at least respond when we call you."

Du Jun immediately explained: "I was also thrown blind. This doesn't seem to be a pit. There is a man-made passage below and a door." After saying this, Du Jun immediately used a flashlight to shine on the big hole that had just hurt him.

pit.

Everyone immediately gathered around and looked down. Sure enough, it was not a pit as Du Jun said. There was an iron gate below. However, it seemed that Du Jun accidentally knocked it open when he fell. There were steps behind the iron gate.

It seems to lead to another place.

Some people couldn't help but exclaimed: "No way, we won't discover the legendary underground secret room."

Another expressed a different view: "Maybe whose tomb belongs to it? Judging from how rusty the iron door is, it was knocked open by Du Jun at once. It must be very old."

Lin Xi frowned: "Strange, why didn't the residents of the ancient town tell us? Don't they know?"

In response, Du Jun shook his head: "Look at the traces around you. This place should have been revealed just after the ground collapsed. I guess it is related to the previous earthquake."

"Oh, I understand, Du Jun, what you mean is that this secret room was originally well hidden, and even the residents of the ancient town at the foot of the mountain didn't know about it. However, the previous earthquake caused a certain landslide, and as a result, the secret room was exposed.

.”

Du Jun nodded: "I am just guessing. The actual situation is uncertain. But now that we have discovered this secret room, what should we do next? Does anyone want to go down with me to take a look? Maybe there is a treasure."

When they heard the word "treasure", the eyes of several male classmates suddenly shone, and they thought to themselves: "Yes, maybe this is the good luck God has given them, allowing them to make a windfall and save them twenty years of hard work after graduating from college.

.”

However, there are also timid people who have monsters and ghosts in their minds and think that if this is a tomb, what if it is haunted?

Everyone felt strongly uneasy about the mysterious appearance of a secret room or a tomb. Some people suggested that it would be better to do less than to do more, and that everyone should go back the way they came.

Du Junyi said righteously: "What are you afraid of? If there really is a ghost, if he really scares us to death, when we turn into ghosts, why don't he look good?"

After hearing this, everyone still thinks it makes sense. After all, there is strength in numbers, but everyone is still afraid of ghosts.

Seeing that no one dared, Du Jun knew that the more this happened, the less he could give in. Especially in front of Lin Xi, Du Jun needed to show off to compare with his love rival Gu Fan.

So Du Jun put on an awe-inspiring look: "Well, the brave ones will go down with me to see what's inside. If there's nothing there, we'll come back immediately and treat it as an adventure."

At this time, four boys who were usually very close to Du Jun stepped forward to support Du Jun at this time. After all, Du Jun often invited Du Jun to treat him to dinner, and it was time for them to behave.

So the five boys gathered their courage and walked together through the rusty iron gate, which was almost in disrepair, and walked down the steps together. There were only five flashlights borrowed from the residents of the ancient town, and now they were given

Three, I just hope they all come back safe and sound.

At first, you could still hear the footsteps of the five boys walking down, and you could still see the light from their flashlights. But gradually, when the footsteps became weaker and weaker, and the lights became dimmer, everyone's nerves started to rise.

It became tense again.

In the end, when the light disappeared completely, I didn't know how deep Du Jun and the five of them had gone, and whether they would encounter anything. Even if it was not haunted, what if this secret room had a mechanism.

The more they thought about it, the more people sweated for Du Jun and the five of them. In the dark night, the cool wind blew by, and the birds chirped in a panic. Occasionally, you could hear the sound of flapping wings in the woods.

, any disturbance now can make people extremely nervous.

After waiting for a long time, Du Jun and the others still didn't come back. Everyone had a bad premonition and thought to themselves that something had happened. God, I knew I shouldn't let them go down. Men really love to show off, so they ran back to the ancient town for help.

It's probably not too late.

Just when everyone was waiting nervously and anxiously outside and couldn't make up their mind, Du Jun's voice suddenly came from below: "Everyone, come down. It's very safe inside. It's just a strange secret room. Let's take a look."

After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It was great that everything was okay, otherwise it would have been too scary. My heart couldn't stand the stimulation.

Then the remaining people began to walk down one by one, down the steps, towards the strange secret room that Du Jun mentioned.
Chapter completed!
