I couldn't help but ask old man Xie, "Do you really believe that this thing exists?"

"I don't believe it." Old Man Xie said: "But even if you can't find the soul-turning mirror, you can at least get some secret recipes. It's not a bad idea to come. I'm already this old, and I don't have much time left. I don't have the chance to give it a try.

If I hesitate, I have to let go and do what needs to be done."

I am not a fool. Of course, I know that what Mr. Xie said may not be all true, because he never mentioned the map, and if it was really just for the prescription, then why did Ghost Chen draw a gun against him on the cliff?

?

I said nothing and said, "What happened next? How did you disperse?"

Old man Xie said that they walked down the tunnel. It was quite peaceful at first, and then they reached a staircase. The staircase snaked downwards, and it was not known how deep it was. It was probably along the cliff leading to the ground. Everyone

Everyone guessed, could this be the treasure they were looking for?

This group of people are not fuel-efficient lamps. They immediately lined up in a column and walked down the stairs. As they walked, something felt wrong, because they found that this section of the stairs could never be completed, and it was pitch black at the end.

, gusts of dark wind surged up from below, as if connected to the ground.

The first person to notice something was wrong was Ghost Chen. He stopped and turned his palm, and a bronze mirror appeared in his hand. The surface of the mirror was yellow. Ghost Chen took one look and frowned.

I know that the mirror that Old Man Xie is talking about is Ghost Chen’s ghost-detecting mirror. It is said that if there are ghosts or people who have just died around, the mirror surface will change, like a layer of haze covering it. In Nayi Village

In the water cave, when Qizhu was killed, the ghost-detecting mirror changed obviously, so I understand this mirror fairly well.

At this moment, Ghost Chen suddenly took out his ghost-detecting mirror. Could it be that he suspected that there was a ghost nearby?

I asked my doubts, and old man Xie said: "Yes, because the ladder never reaches the end, we suspected that it was an evil spirit, or that a ghost hit the wall? So the man named Chen took it out first.

That mirror, it turned out that the mirror was normal, but we kept going down and never reached the end. In order to find a way out, we started to go back, that is, back, but the upward stairs were like the ones leading to the Jade Emperor

Just like my heavenly palace, it will never end."

I couldn't help but hissed and said: "There is such a weird thing, how did you get out?"

Old man Xie said: "Listen to me and speak slowly."

In this stone staircase with no top and no bottom, everyone was trapped for a long time. Even the ghost Chen could not explain the situation in front of him. He suspected that there were ghosts around, so he took out the detector time and time again.

A ghost's mirror, but the mirror remains unchanged.

Obviously, this special situation was not caused by ghosts.

The longer everyone was trapped, the more anxious they became. The one who couldn't bear it the most was the meat ball. He said: "Boss, I think this place is very strange. Why don't we use a bomb to see if there is any mechanism at work?"

.”

Lao Liu said: "What mechanism can be so powerful? Don't come up with blind ideas."

Rou Tuan said: "Why not? Haven't you heard of the name 'Ladder to Heaven'?"

The ladder to heaven is said to be a major punishment for women in ancient times. This kind of torture instrument is not used by ordinary convict women. It is specially used to punish adulterers who steal men. It is said that this torture instrument requires an entire wall to operate.

And the mechanism changes were carried out behind the wall.

Before the mechanism is activated, there is a whole flight of stairs on the wall. The prisoner is lifted to the center of the staircase, her hands are tied and hung, and then the mechanism is activated. At this time, the stairs will slowly turn over layer by layer.

On the first floor, there are either countless sharp blades or iron nails.

The prisoner's feet were bloody and bloody, so she naturally wanted to stretch her feet to a place where there were no nails. Then she kept climbing up. As soon as she stepped down, the ladder immediately flipped back. At this time, she fell to the previous step again.

Go up, and the ladder has three sides, one side may be iron nails, and the other side may be chili oil. It's like a wheel played by a mouse. It's not big, but it can never be climbed.

Prisoners who climb the ladder often have both of their feet completely disabled, which is very cruel.

Old Liu frowned and said, "You are the only one who thinks about these crooked things."

Having said that, Roudan's words reminded everyone, could he be on such a ladder?

These stairs are designed to be winding. Every ten meters or so, there is a turning point, which is a blind spot for people's sight. When everyone is at the turning point A, they naturally don't know what is happening at the turning point B. Maybe right now

Son, the stone staircase is already turning over.

In order to prove this conjecture, everyone lay down on the ground and carefully looked at the small cracks in the stone stairs. If the principle of these stone steps is really the same as the torture instrument "Ladder to Heaven", then there will definitely be some small cracks, and

On the contrary, if the stone steps are inactive, they should be integrated with the surrounding mountain walls and there should not be any gaps.

Everyone lay down and took a closer look. Sure enough, they discovered that there was a gap between the stone stairs. Even if it was not designed based on the principle of a ladder, it should be similar to a ladder. Going down like this, it would be like an escalator. The elevator seemed to be only that long, but

After you stand on it, if you do the opposite movement to the elevator, you won't be able to reach the other side. Of course, if you run fast enough and are willing to put in enough energy, you can do it.

After thinking about this, everyone began to think about countermeasures. Ghost Chen was a very smart man. After he read it, he didn't say a word. The others kept chattering and discussing, but to no avail.

At this moment, the silent ghost Chen spoke up and came up with an idea, which was to tie everyone up with ropes, leaving a distance of twelve meters between everyone, and then move forward one by one, so that every corner could be protected.

There are people everywhere. After discovering that the stone steps are moving, find out the direction of its movement, and then quickly run to a place.

If the stone steps are moving up, it is like running up; if they are moving down, it is like running down.

Soon, the order was decided.

The one who stayed at the end was Old Man Xie’s man, whom Old Man Xie called Centipede. The one who stayed in the second quarter was Old Man Xie, the third was Old Liu, the fourth was Meatuan, and the fifth was Ghost Chen. In fact, Yue

The further you go, the more advantage you get, because you can reach the exit the fastest, but Old Man Xie and Centipede have no equipment, and the Ghost Chen has a large number of people, so they have to suffer this loss.

The two of them waited quietly at a corner. No one could be seen forward or backward, only the ropes around their waists could be seen.

Not long after waiting, Old Man Xie felt the rope around his waist tighten. It seemed that Ghost Chen had discovered the direction of movement of the stone steps, which should be upward, so Ghost Chen was running upwards. Old Man Xie did not dare to delay, so he

The old man ran wildly, taking the centipede behind him with him. No matter how he ran, no one could see each other. However, at this moment, the rope around Old Man Xie's waist suddenly loosened.

Old man Xie was stunned for a moment. What's going on? Is he already at the exit?

He then continued to move forward, but when he turned a corner, he was so angry that he saw a broken rope on the ground, and Lao Liu, who was supposed to be there, had long since disappeared.

Old man Xie suddenly became excited and said to himself, this man named Chen wants to kill the donkey!

At this moment, they had no equipment on them, and the only light source was a candle that was about to burn out. Old man Xie immediately called Centipede, and the two of them began to run up desperately, but without the traction of the rope, plus the two

Already lagging behind, all of their previous efforts fell short, and Old Man Xie and Centipede were trapped in the stone steps like a ladder to heaven.

At this time, the small candle was completely extinguished, and the surrounding area fell into darkness.

Only then did Old Man Xie begin to regret it. When he was young, he smoked and carried a lighter with him at all times. As he got older, he became more and more afraid of death. For the sake of his health, he quit smoking. In order not to be harmed by second-hand smoke, he often followed

The men around him are also strictly prohibited from smoking. Therefore, he and Centipede combined have no sparks in their bodies.

At this time, Old Man Xie realized the seriousness of the matter. He was trapped in such a place with no equipment on hand. Isn't this doomed? But Old Man Xie was not an ordinary person after all. He first exposed the ghost to eighteen

The ancestors greeted each one one by one, and then ran up with the centipede.

They have mastered the direction of movement of the stone steps. As long as they run upward and fast, they will be able to reach the exit.

But the surroundings are too dark, and it is difficult for people to run confidently and boldly in an environment with no light source, because people's subconscious will be afraid of dangers ahead. Even during the process of running, Old Man Xie and the two men continued to build themselves psychologically.

However, their pace still slowed down, and as they turned one after another, the two of them would bump into the mountain wall from time to time, leaving bruises all over their bodies.

Finally, Old Man Xie could not even take a step and collapsed on the ground.

But Old Man Xie is a man who is extremely afraid of death, but has a very firm mind. After he collapsed, he rested not long before he got up again and continued to move forward. In fact, Old Man Xie also knew at that time that even if he continued to walk at this speed,

He would never get out if he walked for a lifetime, but he was not willing to sit still and wait to die. In the words of old man Xie, he would rather die on the road to success than stay where he was and wait to die.

In the darkness, he and Centipede didn't know how long they had been walking. Their consciousnesses were already outside their bodies, and they could only move forward mechanically. However, at this moment, he suddenly heard a clicking sound, and then, under his feet,

Just missed the point.

He and the centipede rolled down and seemed to have fallen into another place.

Since the surroundings were pitch dark, it was impossible to judge the environment they were in, so Old Man Xie and the two could only move forward gropingly. They had no idea what the surrounding environment was.

At the end of the day, even old man Xie felt a sense of despair. In order to dispel this negative process, the two of them started talking. Finally, they talked about me and said, "It would be great if Sun Miao still had that bag of equipment."
