I turned the ring on the stone door hard and turned it completely to the bottom.

in front of us.

The stone door suddenly opened wide, and in an instant, overwhelming water rushed towards us.

I immediately grabbed Cui Hao tightly and rushed out against the current.

Fortunately, the two of us moved very quickly.

Before the current completely submerged us, we finally got out from underneath.

Back under the river again.

Although water was still flowing downwards in the hollow behind us, huge splashes of water kept washing over both of us, pushing us down.

"Fat man, hold on to the wall next to you. You must not go down."

I shouted at Cui Hao, and at the same time reached out and grabbed the bulge on the wall.

He also lay on the ground as hard as I did, holding on to the protruding point above the ground.

The water continued to surge forward for nearly a minute before it completely stopped.

When I look back.

The square stone door behind us has been completely closed, and no more water can flow in.

The surrounding water has also calmed down.

I breathed a sigh of relief, quickly grabbed Cui Hao and swam out.

The two of us didn't have much oxygen, so we could only swim up as fast as possible.

After swimming for almost three minutes, we finally swam out.

When we came back to the river bank again, the fat man and I collapsed on the ground helplessly.

Cui Hao took out the treasure from his body and kept playing with it in his hand, looking extremely excited.

"It's great. I didn't expect to get such a good baby when I came here."

Cui Hao pulled my arm and came under the rope.

"Let's go, let's get ready to go out. I can't wait to walk through the door of life and give this thing away."

You have to go out sooner or later anyway.

I didn't resist Cui Hao's strength. I grabbed the rope and climbed to the ground with him.

After we came out and collected the ropes, the Dingshan Monument was closed again.

We have already visited three Bagua Stone Steles. As long as we continue to search among the remaining five, we can go back home from the mountain after finding the shrouds.

Cui Hao stared straight at Shengmen.

"Master Xiao Man, how about we go back first?"

He shook the tin stick in his hand.

This thing is really conspicuous, and its size makes it difficult to hold. What if I lose this thing again when we go to the remaining tombs.

Although we have found the location of the Shengmen, if we walk out of the Shengmen, it will not be easy to search for this door again.

I poked my head out of the living door to look outside.

Several tall trees were set up in different directions outside using the Bagua formation.

These are all used to set up blinders.

If you want to use this blind method to continue to find the door after leaving here, it can be said to be very difficult.

I really didn’t want to go through the process of going up the mountain again, so I shook my head and refused Cui Hao.

"Fat man, if you really want to go down the mountain, then I will give you the compass. I can't leave now."

I pointed to the few remaining tombstones.

"Once I leave now, it will be difficult to come back. I have to find the things as soon as possible so that I can exchange them back."

Seeing that my attitude was extremely determined, Cui Hao had no choice but to dig a hole nearby and bury the tin rod in it.

"Master Xiaoman, I really owe you in my previous life."

Cui Hao followed me helplessly, and followed me to the west side before the redemption.

The exchange position corresponds to Jingmen, which belongs to Ze.

I don’t know what it looks like inside.

I tightened the rope again, came to the tombstone, opened the tunnel, and lowered the rope.

After sliding down the hole.

The scene here is completely different from the previous one.

Previously, behind the Shangmen, water vapor spewed out beneath it, and an underground river flowed through it.

However, it is quite dry here and there is no trace of moisture.

The surrounding space was extremely quiet. Cui Hao walked behind me and cautiously observed the surroundings with his flashlight.

We passed through a stone cave passage and soon came to a protruding high platform.

In front of the high platform is a bottomless cliff.

On the edge of the cliff, I could even feel the cold wind blowing from below.

I calmed down and tightened my grip on Cui Hao's arm.

"Cui Hao, follow me."

I took his arm and walked around the cliff, searching for a way forward.

I don’t know where the other side of this cliff leads.

Our flashlights couldn't even illuminate the other side at a glance.

We walked around the cliff and finally found an iron bridge in front of the cliff.

It's a pity that all the original iron bridges here were made of wooden planks.

After years of erosion, most of the wooden boards above have become rotten.

I touch lightly with my feet.

There was a click.

The board shattered into powder.

If we just step on this wooden plank, we may step into a pit and fall.

Looking at the bottomless underground cavity, Cui Hao couldn't help but shudder.

"I'll go, this is too high. Mr. Man, if we fall, we won't even be left alive!"

I nodded and looked around again.

I walked from one side of the cliff to the other, but could never find a way through.

Apart from this chain bridge, there is no other way to get to the other side.

The chasms on both sides were so deep and bottomless that I simply did not dare to take Cui Hao through them.

After thinking about it, I pulled Cui Hao's arm and pointed to the iron chain hanging next to him.

"dare?"

Cui Hao trembled and shook my hand away.

"If you don't go, this is a fatal deal. There might be treasures inside if you go there, but what if I don't go there?"

I shrugged.

"If you don't get through, you'll die. At most, you'll just be hanging here unable to move."

Cui Hao rolled his eyes at me.

"Then you should go alone! My life is very precious."

I looked across the cliff.

The cliff is vaguely exposed there, and there seems to be an antique-style building.

However, due to the distance, it was not very clear.

I'm not sure if I got it right.

I took out the rope from my backpack, wrapped it in a thick cloth and hung it on the iron rope.

"Then if you don't go, I will go there by myself."

I sighed, grabbed the rope with my hands and feet, and climbed up.

The place we were standing on was high, and although the iron chain had a certain slope downwards, it was still an iron lock ring, not an iron bar. The frictional resistance was extremely high, and there was no way it could slide down like in the TV series.

I could only use my hands and feet to lie on the iron chain, tighten the iron chain and crawl forward.

And the rope I tied to the chain became my life-saving rope.

I tied one end of the rope around my waist to prevent me from falling off in the middle.

I continued crawling forward.

I climbed forward about ten meters.

The surroundings are getting colder.

And Cui Hao's figure was almost invisible.

A huge feeling of loneliness enveloped me, and I even had the desire to crawl back.

But after thinking about the shroud, I gave up this plan.

The moment I continued to crawl forward.

I vaguely heard a rustling sound coming from the front.

However, the sound was very small, and the distance was extremely far, so the flashlight's light could not reach the front.

I couldn't tell where the sound was coming from.

"There are sounds under the ground, something is not right."

I thought about it, then gritted my teeth and kept crawling forward.

Right now.

I heard a rustling sound coming from behind me as well.

My chain suddenly dropped half an inch.

I didn't look back, I smiled and said hello behind me.

"Fat man, you are too heavy. If the chain breaks, I will have to pay for your life."

Cui Hao's laughter and curses came from behind.

"Little Man, if Fatty is happy to follow you, just burn some incense. Are you still taunting me here? Are you really afraid that I'll crawl back all of a sudden?"

I didn't take his words seriously at all.

Since Cui Hao is willing to follow me up the iron rope, it means that he is willing to follow me to find out what is going on.

Once a person like him makes a decision, he will never regret it easily.

There is a high probability that he will climb to the front with me until he reaches the other end of the cliff.

I immediately picked up my pace.

Lying on the iron chain consumes a lot of physical energy. In addition, the iron chain is so cold that my fingers and hair become stiff and stiff from the cold.

Once I almost accidentally slipped and fell.

If my legs weren't tightly clinging to the iron chain, I might have fallen into a puddle of flesh under the cliff at this moment.

Cui Hao's curses kept ringing behind me.

"Damn it, grandma, what the hell is this place? If you don't build an iron plate on the entire bridge, why should you use wooden ones? It's okay if you can't cross. I almost threw the fat man into the ground."

Listening to him curse, I felt a little calmer.

At least there are sounds here, which will make the panic in my heart dissipate a lot.

I slowly continued to crawl forward holding on to the rope.

After crawling forward for a few meters, I finally felt that the flashlight light could illuminate a space in front of me.

within this space.

I could vaguely see a building about seven or eight meters high appearing in front of me.

A square tiled dome is used on the top of the building, making it look like an underground palace.

The palace is extremely large and majestic, and a huge amount of manpower and material resources were spent on its construction.

The moment Cui Hao saw the palace, he couldn't help but cursed secretly.

"There is such a good place under the ground, and you can see that there are good treasures inside."

If Cui Hao hadn't been holding on to the chain now, he would probably have jumped up while rubbing his hands together.

I immediately picked up my speed.

Now that you have the direction, go over there as soon as possible and see what's inside.

But this place is a scary place after all, so we still have to be as careful as possible.

As I gradually approached the palace in front of me, I could feel the cold air around me getting colder and colder.

In addition, the squeaking sound of grabbing things just now became more and more obvious at this moment, as if it was ringing in my ears.
