Chapter 790: Land Sales Palace
Ye Cheng thought about it, and the footsteps in front of the passage were getting closer and closer, and he didn't know how many soldiers would rush over, but it was definitely no good to win. So he turned his head to look to the right-hand side and looked at the other path.
The county is deep underground, so there must be more than one passage. And now there are two roads around Yecheng, and the one on the right hand side has not heard footsteps for the time being, and this road is absolutely safe if you want to retreat.
So Ye Cheng whispered: "Everyone withdraw first, and then find a way to find someone."
After saying that, Ye Cheng began to turn around and run towards the passage on the right.
The rest of the people didn't think much of it, and quickly followed. The strangest thing was that the two clothed soldiers did not catch up, but stood in place and quietly watched Ye Cheng and the others go farther and farther.
Ye Cheng turned his head and glanced back as he ran, and saw this scene. I felt strange in my heart, so I asked, "Brother Beimao, what's the matter with those two soldiers?" Are they just letting us go? And when they were beaten by Zixing and Ziguo, they didn't scream, as if they wouldn't hurt."
Beimao explained as he ran: "The Clothed Army is very capable of tolerating damage, even if you stab him in the stomach with a knife, he will not cry out in pain, and he will stand up and fight. The reason why they didn't catch up was because we were underground, and if we wanted to get back to the surface, we had to go through the ghost paths scattered all around. But the ghost path is guarded by the Cloth Army, so we are like a cage now, as long as they guard the ghost road, we naturally can't escape."
Bei Mao took a breath and slowed down, and then said: "What's more, even if we are safe for the time being, but the roads in the prefecture and county are like spider webs, so don't get separated, it's hard to run into them again."
At Beimao's advice, everyone continued to run, all of them nervous, in case they were left behind.
Ye Cheng took the lead in running in front, and the intersection appeared not long after he had just run. Standing in the middle of the intersection, he turned his head to look in the first three directions to the left and right. Because the prefecture is underground, it can only rely on the oil lamp hanging on the rock wall to illuminate the passage, and the flame of this oil lamp is small, so the line of sight is not very far.
Don't know where to go in all three directions? And now I don't know where to find someone who can lead the way down to the underworld.
Anyway, it will definitely not work to go back, so you can only choose one of these three paths.
Unable to decide, Ye Cheng became more and more anxious.
There was no way, Ye Cheng turned to look at the man who was holding the girl tightly in his arms, and asked, "Do you know anyone in the prefecture who can take people down to the underworld?" ”
The man hugged the girl tightly with both hands, and his eyes were staring at Ye Cheng. It could be seen from his eyes that the man was flustered, and that he was trembling all over. Although the man was flustered, Ye Cheng had a life-saving grace for himself, so he had to repay this kindness.
The man relented and said, "You can go to the Dimai Palace to have a look, although it is not as good as the underworld, it also sells some things that cannot be put on the table." If you go there and ask, someone will know. ”
"Land Sales Palace?"
Ye Cheng lowered his head and thought about it, and then immediately raised his head to look at the man after making a decision in his heart, and asked, "Where is the land sales palace?" Why don't you take us there?"
"Well, you have a life-saving grace for me, it's natural to take you there, come with me"
The man did not hesitate and readily agreed. After agreeing, the man carried the girl and ran quickly to the right side of the intersection.
After Ye Cheng glanced at everyone, he quickly followed the man and ran.
……
The passages in the prefecture and county are really like spider webs extending in all directions, if someone hadn't led the way, Ye Cheng would definitely have taken everyone around in this prefecture and county.
Running all the way, Ye Cheng couldn't remember how many intersections, how many three-way crossings and double-forks he had passed. If it is more accurate, this county is more like an underground labyrinth.
Fortunately, someone led the way, so I didn't get lost in this labyrinth.
At this time, the man running in front stopped and turned to the right to face the rock wall, where there was a small wooden door that could pass through a person.
Inside this gate is the dwelling of the people of the underworld, and this is the only dwelling on the way where you can see a door, and the doors of the other dwellings are just hung on the roof of the cave with a tattered cloth.
Judging from this situation, this should be the land sales palace.
But Ye Cheng was still unsure, he pointed to the wooden door with his right hand, his eyes looked at the man, and asked, "Is this the Land Sales Palace?" ”
The man nodded and said, "I'm not going in with you, I have to hurry up and find something to eat for my daughter." Whether you meet the people of the underworld or not depends on your luck."
Ye Cheng replied: "Thank you." Don't get caught again, if something happens to you, your daughter will have no one to take care of."
"Well, I'll be careful"
The man was very moved, then turned around and continued to run ahead, and finally disappeared into the road that extended in all directions.
Then Ye Cheng's face sank, and he turned to face the small wooden door on the rock wall. He thought for a moment, then raised his hands and gently pushed the wooden door open.
It was pitch black inside the door, and there was no way to see the road.
Ye Cheng was a little worried, so just in case, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and turned on the flashlight function. In the white glare of the flashlight, I saw a staircase that was sloping down behind the door.
Ye Cheng cautiously walked into the door, stepping on the stairs and going down a little bit. The distance between the two sides of the stairs is very short, and when you walk on the stairs, you can almost touch the rock walls on both sides of your shoulders.
Such a narrow road made Ye Cheng feel an inexplicable fear in his heart. But fortunately, the staircase is not very deep, and as you walk, you can already see the staircase in front of you.
"Watch out, everyone, it's down there"
Ye Cheng whispered, then stepped on the flat ground with his right foot, and continued to take two steps forward. Now the surroundings are much more open, but the five fingers are not visible. He raised his phone and swung it around in a circle, using the white light emitted by the phone to check his surroundings.
Suddenly!
Just as Ye Cheng turned his hand, an old face popped out of the darkness, and that old face was less than a fist away from Ye Cheng's face.
This ghost-like behavior frightened Ye Cheng.
Ye Cheng's whole person jumped backwards, his whole face was frightened green, and he subconsciously shouted: "Ghost! ”
The five apprentices were also afraid of ghosts, so when Ye Cheng shouted like this, they also exclaimed at the same time:
"Ghosts? Yes! Come on! ”
"Hell!"
……
The shouts of the five echoed everywhere in such a dark environment, and it was very harsh.
Beimao stood at the back and couldn't see what was happening, but he knew that there were no ghosts in this world, and this must be the person who sold the palace. So he quickly opened his hands to block the staircase, in case someone panicked and ran out.
After blocking the exit, Bei Mao hurriedly explained: "That's not a ghost, it should be someone from the Di Selling Palace." Ye Cheng, calm down, pick up your phone and take a closer look."
