The place where they appeared this time was an underground cave.
Dark, damp, deep, and unfathomable...
There seemed to be countless nightmare voices whispering in the darkness, which made people feel a little upset.
These seem to indicate something ominous...
The three of them did not walk out of the secret passage immediately this time. Instead, they discussed it on the spot, then turned back to the stone room and walked out again. As a result, there was still a dark and damp underground cave outside the secret passage.
"Hey, why is there no change this time?"
"Could it be that the changes in Qimen Dunjia follow a certain time pattern or a specific pattern?"
After repeated experiments twice, each time they found a dark and damp cave. The three finally accepted this reality, and then walked out of the secret passage to explore the underground world.
"Amitabha, will this lead to the corpse pit we saw at the beginning?" Master Jingchan said.
Uncle Lin said nothing.
Jin An spoke: "Something doesn't look like it."
Oh? Master Jingchan looked surprised.
Jin An did not explain immediately, but raised his hand and touched the hard rock wall. His palm was stained with a layer of water vapor. The environment in the cave was very humid. Looking at the water vapor and water droplets on his palm, he explained: "Because the geology is not stable.
Same."
"Geology?"
"Well, the geology of the corpse pit is half rock and half soil, which means it is not far from the ground. And here is a hard rock wall structure, and the water vapor is very heavy, which means it is deep underground, and may be close to underground river water. There is underground river water.
The place is at least a few to more than ten miles away from the ground."
Master Jingchan nodded suddenly, then smiled and said that Taoist Jin'an was really knowledgeable and talented.
Jin An said that he was influenced by the old Taoist priests and had some knowledge about Feng Shui and Kanyu.
He did not directly say that he had studied the "Yin Yang Qing Sang Sutra".
As expected, there was an underground river in this place as Jin An said. Not far from the secret passage, they heard the sound of trickling water.
In this quiet environment, any movement can be heard clearly.
After picking up a stick of incense, he saw that there was an underground river passing by. The span of the underground river was very large. Jin An picked up stones to explore the path. With a pop, the stones sank to the bottom, and the water was very deep.
And he also discovered that when people stand by the river, they will feel an overwhelming chill, the kind of cold that penetrates the bone marrow and the soul.
Holding a torch and looking around, there were several canoes made of logs on the river bank. They were old in color and I didn't know if they could still be used.
When they walked to the canoe, they discovered that there were several iron chains driven deep into the rock wall, leading to the depths of the underground river, seemingly directly connected to the other side?
The iron chain is hung with small bronze bells and covered with sutra cloth and talismans.
It's a pity that the writing is not clear, so I don't know the purpose of these sutra cloths and talismans at the moment.
To sit or not to sit?
Can't get to the other side?
Suddenly it became the focus of discussion among the three people.
After a short discussion, all three of them, including Jin An, felt that the current situation was unclear and they did not need to risk wading into the water. The underground river was extremely cold and the surface of the river was shrouded in cold mist, which always gave people a chill. It was better to wait where they were.
After the secret passage changes again, continue to look for opportunities to explore the upper buildings of the ancient gods.
It's just that they waited for half a day and returned to the stone chamber several times, but nothing changed. It seemed like they were trapped in this dark underground world?
"It seems that someone doesn't want us to leave!" Jin An's eyes flashed coldly. Although he was trapped underground, he had no fear and his mood remained calm and calm.
The people here do not refer to living people, but to the consciousness of the ancient gods after death.
"It's not an option to wait forever. I don't know how long I will be trapped. It seems that the only way now is to explore the other side of the river." Uncle Lin frowned and thought.
Speaking of crossing the river, the three of them looked at the canoes.
After inspection, it was found that one of the canoes was still strong and had no leaks. Jin An paddled, while Uncle Lin and Master Jingchan were responsible for being alert to hidden dangers underwater.
The river was cold and cold, and a layer of cold mist floated on the surface. The farther away from the shore, the heavier the cold mist became, and eventually it affected the field of vision.
At this time, they finally understood the purpose of those iron chains, which were used to prevent them from losing their way.
Under the command of Uncle Lin, the canoe followed the iron chain and slowly paddled to the other side of the underground river.
Rustling——
As they went deeper into the underground river, the nightmare whispers became clearer. The three of them were surprised and looked down into the river, but the surface of the river was calm. The depth of the river was as black as ink, making it difficult to see clearly.
Boom!
Just when the three of them were alert and on their way, the canoe suddenly shook slightly, as if it hit something.
Uncle Lin looked in the direction of the impact.
On the river with the cold mist floating around, a floating corpse, swollen and face upward, drifted from the upper reaches. It was the floating corpse that hit the canoe just now.
"The skin color is dark, and the earrings are green snakes and red snakes... hmm? Could this be the Concubine of the Rain Master described in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas"?" Uncle Lin said solemnly.
Rain Master’s Concubine?
Jin An curiously looked at the floating corpse in the river, and saw that in addition to the characteristics mentioned by Uncle Lin, the floating corpse had a face like a snake, an evil temperament, hair like pigtails, and obscure rune tattoos engraved on its skin, with obvious alien characteristics.
Boom!
Soon a second floating body floated up and hit the canoe.
Then I saw the third floating corpse floating down the river, and the fourth floating corpse floating down the river...
"Amitabha, why are there so many corpses of the Yushi Concubine family floating here? Could it be that this ancient temple was built by the Yushi Concubine family?"
In ancient books, it is said that the concubine of the rain master is a strange woman who is a witch, and some say that the concubine of the rain master is the collective name of a kingdom of gods dominated by witches.
There are so many corpses floating on the river at this time, which seems to support the statement that Yushi Concubine is actually a country?
But more questions soon troubled them. What happened that year? How could the Yushi Concubine family have their corpses floating here?
This underground river is flowing. Why, after thousands of years have passed, have the floating corpses of the Yushi Concubine family always floated here without being washed away to the outside world by the underground river water? Are they voluntarily wandering around waiting for something or are they being artificially imprisoned to become a gathering of incorruptible corpses?
A place of darkness?
Is this the cemetery of the Yushi concubine family?
Or is it the place of exile for the souls of the Yushi concubine family?
The number of floating corpses in the underground river is still increasing. Under Jin An's efforts to control the direction, the canoe tries to avoid collisions with these floating corpses. However, because the number of floating corpses continues to increase, several collisions cannot be avoided along the way.
"If it weren't for these iron chains as road signs, we would have been knocked dizzy by these floating corpses and lost our way in the cold fog. Uncle Lin, why do I feel that the people who laid down these iron chains may not be from the Yushi Concubine clan, but
They are another group of people who entered the Guixu Divine Realm. They also discovered that this is the burial place of the Yushi Concubine clan, so they specially laid these iron chains to guard against the Yushi Concubine clan?" Jin An said while paddling.
Make your own guess.
Uncle Lin and Master Jingchan, who were always alert to the movements on the water, both looked solemn and thoughtful after hearing this.
