In the dimness, looking at Sang Lan's eyes as bright as night stars up close, I could only be silent.

In this case, if she can turn back and save me, it is equivalent to gambling with her own life, what else can I say?

Sang Lan said: "When I was in the front hall before, I sensed the presence of ghosts nearby, and deliberately relaxed the spirit platform to attract that thing...... Draw the man to me. Whether you believe it or not, I can be sure that she is Xu Jie! ”

She sighed suddenly, "I originally wanted to keep her in my body all the time, but unfortunately, I was distracted by the electric light in my eyes just now, and she ran away." But that's fine, knowing who she is, at least you're sure she won't hurt you. ”

It dawned on me why she was in that state before, and after thinking about it, I asked, "Can you feel what kind of existence she is?"

Sang Lan showed a trace of confusion in his eyes, as if he didn't know how to answer me, but after hesitating for a moment, he still said:

"She can possess me, of course, not a living person, I can only say that her resentment is very heavy, as if ...... It's like a lifetime of resentment......"

As he was talking, there was a sudden sound of "buzzing" from above, and the elevator in front of him began to slowly rise.

Maybe this elevator doesn't exist at all, but even if it's illusory, the sense of oppression it brings to people is so real.

Suddenly, as soon as he got out of this depression, Sang Lan and I both let out a long breath.

"Get out of here!"

Sang Lan rolled over, knelt on his hands and feet and crawled to a corner, and then I saw that there was a hole no more than two feet in diameter. Outside the cave are some brick muck piled up, apparently dug up not long ago.

I followed behind Sang Lan, burrowed into the hole, and crawled all the way forward, the more I climbed, the more frightened I became.

The secret passage used by the gravebuilders to escape was not close to the blocked passage in the utility room as I imagined, but sloping downward, very narrow and tortuous.

At first, the inner wall of the tunnel was still a red brick structure, but after climbing forward for a while, the red bricks became old blue bricks.

No, the so-called tomb of the living dead is by no means an ancient tomb, but a nest built by demons with ulterior intentions in recent years.

According to the time calculation, it has been less than 20 years since the Sanyi Garden Hotel was built, but how do I feel that this secret passage seems to have existed for more than 100 years?

"At the end of the day, you be careful."

Hearing Sang Lan's reminder, I realized that I had reached the end.

The exit is indeed a relatively wide passageway, less than two meters high, barely large enough to stand upright, and wide enough for two adults to walk side by side.

The passage has sloping down steps, each of which is hewn out of a single piece of bluestone.

The hole that Sang Lan and I drilled out was on the side of the passage, in a hidden corner.

Seeing the situation clearly, I became more and more suspicious.

Although I don't know anything about archaeology, my own feelings tell me that this ancient passage is by no means the product of the last few decades.

I didn't see anyone left and right, so I asked Sang Lan: "What about Lao Cheng and Zang Zhiqiang?" ”

"I don't know, when they were digging that hole in the elevator trough, I heard you shouting from above, so I went up to you. At that time, in order to restrain Xu Jie, I couldn't talk much, so I didn't talk to them much. ”

Hearing her say this, my heart was moved again.

Forget about Lao Zheng, Zang Zhiqiang is really unreliable, and at a critical time, only she Miss Sang returned to help me regardless of her life......

"They should go down first." Sang Lan looked at me, obviously at this point, she had no idea.

I wanted to go down without hesitation, but seeing the timidity in her eyes, I said that I would go up first to see the situation.

I am not a tomb robber of the Tufuzi, I can do my duty to achieve my goal without hesitation, but I can't help but be responsible for this woman who sacrificed her life for me. I don't know what kind of danger there will be, I have to find out the overall situation first, and then I have to spy on the way out.

The two of them walked up the stone steps for a short time before they reached a corner, and when I saw the situation on the other side of the corner, I felt a chill in my heart.

Judging by the direction, the final exit of this passage should be in the utility room.

But now, not only is the entrance to the utility room sealed with iron plates, but also a large number of broken stone and blue bricks have been piled up inside.

Zang Zhiqiang was right, someone deliberately sealed the entrance to the utility room, and it was completely sealed, and it was impossible to get through.

There was no way out, so the two had to turn back and go down, during which I put away the flashlight and shook up the fire eyes that Zang Zhiqiang gave me.

First, compared with this primitive ignition lighting tool, I believe that the flashlight is more capable of emergency response at critical times; In addition, the light of the fire can be used to determine the circulation and direction of the air in the passage.

The two of them illuminated with the eyes of fire, all the way down, and it didn't take long for cold sweat to ooze from my back.

The bluestone staircase was not gentle, and it took less than five minutes to walk from the time we turned back, but if we calculated according to the drop of the steps, our position was at least more than ten meters above the ground.

Such underground engineering may not be anything for modern technology, but the project here is by no means able to be built with great fanfare and modern construction machinery.

More than ten meters underground, all of them are the most primitive stone steps...... How much human and financial resources do you have to spend to achieve this?

"What's that?!" Sang Lan suddenly shouted in a low voice.

I looked at her, holding the eye of fire and looking down, the scope of the eye of fire was limited, only five or six meters away was hazy, but there was nothing unusual about it.

However, Sang Lan stared, looked down and whispered, "There seems to be a gatehouse down there." ”

"Gatehouse?"

My eyelids jumped, and I didn't bother to ask her, so I pulled her and continued to walk.

After walking for a while, by the light of the fire, I saw a faint white gatehouse in front of me.

"You have good eyesight, you can see this?" I glanced at Sang Lan in surprise.

"Didn't you owe it to your good sister Hu Qiaoyan?" Sang Lan gave me a blank look, "Don't say more, go down quickly." ”

As the two of them advanced, the scene below became clearer and clearer.

The passage widened unconsciously, and at the end of it was a strangely shaped gatehouse.

What's even more strange is that the gatehouse is white as a whole, but there is a dark black thing hanging in the middle.

Before she reached the bottom of the gatehouse, Sang Lan had begun to tremble uncontrollably.

The truth is, I'm not much better than her.

Because both of them had already seen that the gatehouse was not built of white jade stone, but of white bones.

At the same time, both of them also saw that what was hanging under the gatehouse was actually a copper bell full of patina!
