Rent Affair

Chapter 118 Mysterious Building
Shangguan Yang said: "Kang Nan and I will go in to explore, and..." I saw Ji Linyu's words, she nodded, we interrupted him: "Anyway, we will not stay outside."

Shangguan Yangyou didn't refuse, looked at Gao Feng and waited for me, then at Ouyang and Xiao Yongqian, Gao Feng shrugged: "Let's stay outside and protect them."

"Shameless."

Ouyang Jin and Xiao Yongqian were very angry, Shangguan Yang said: "You stay on guard, if we don't come out for an hour, you know what to do."

We handed Xiaoying over to Xiaojun and entrusted them to take good care of them, and then entered the ladder with Ji Linyu and Shangguan Yang.Entering the cave, the cave is dark and long enough for several people to stand side by side. After walking more than ten meters to the end, an inclined ladder goes up, and the stone wall in front is cut across. I don't know if it is really a wall or an unopened stone.

We turned up about forty or fifty steps, and the upper floor has a huge space, which is the lower body of the stone statue. The lower part is bigger than the upper part, and most of them are not completed.In this way, the stone statue is carved from top to bottom.

This layer is hollow, about eight or nine meters high, and there are many gravels on the ground.The strange thing is that there is a hole leading to the left, and the light can't reach the end.Deeper and unfinished, there are recessed walls on both sides.The largest hole is about four or five meters away from the back, and it gradually becomes smaller as it goes forward, like the mouth of a gourd.

After walking for nearly 50 meters, the cave was exhausted, and Shangguan Yang stepped on the ground in front of him. He stepped on the soil instead of stones, and the branches and leaves of the trees could be seen faintly.

The entrance of the cave is more than ten meters high. I am a little confused, what is the purpose of leaving such a big hole.

If you look closely, the entrance of the cave is covered with moss, there are no artificial traces, and the stone has only been carved a few meters inward.In this way, it is to dig in from the original foundation. It is guessed that it should be used to carry stones. The four of them looked around and saw that there was no harvest, so they went up to another layer.

The space on the third floor is much worse than that. There are long corridors and corridors intertwined. There is a stone door not far in front. There is a frame but no door. Inside is a huge stone room. There are no objects placed and piled up, so it is very empty.

At this time, the four of us had already separated. I found an empty stone room on the opposite side. Shangguan Yang found that the room was similar, empty inside, and Kang Nan's inquiring was similar. Ji Linyu found a stone room leading to the top. The stone ladder, the spiral ladder that came up before can also be connected, which seems a bit strange, and the four of them went up from the stone chamber stone ladder to another floor in doubt.

The stone ladder leads to a stone room, the stone room is more than ten meters long and wide, and the passage outside the door is seven or eight meters.

The three of them walked to the end to the right, and at the end was a winding stone staircase, which actually led to the top again.Walking back ten meters, there is a stone room. The stone room seems to be used for storing items, but the strange thing is that it is still empty.One of the stone chambers in front is quite large, seven or eight meters high and nearly ten meters long. There is a long stone platform inside, and there are unfinished long bottle vessels on the side.

There is a passage leading to the back of the passage. Ji Linyu went to inquire, and there was a stone ladder in the side room, and there was a passage at the end of the passage.

On both sides of Ji Linyu's corridor, there is a passageway, one leads to the ladder, and the other leads to a deeper place.We launched the stone room with this one as the largest one, and the front and back stand side by side. It feels like building this floor of an ancient residence, with the main room, side rooms and long corridors interlaced.

We wondered what the stone statue was used for. Kang Nan felt that it was unlikely that people could live there, and the door seemed to be used to imprison people.

At first I thought whether it would be used as a tomb.

Ji Linyu thought it was impossible, this floor was very similar, but why did he build so many layers?

What are the others used for?
Moreover, there are layers upwards. In ancient China, mausoleums were very particular, such as building mausoleums on mountains, underground palaces in the Qin Mausoleum, deep sea halls, Taoist heavenly palaces, Buddhist temples, luxurious mausoleums, extremely complicated, and different dynasties with different cultures. Each has its own characteristics.

Shangguan Yang has no research on these, but apart from the majestic stone statues here, the inside is far behind, and it seems that he has never heard of stone statues forming tombs.

The four of them went up to another floor. There was neither a large space nor interlaced stone chamber corridors on this floor. There were several long holes vertically and horizontally. Ji Linyu is the same as Kang Nan. He can't see anything outside in the dark, and it must be hanging in the air. It may be used to carve stone statues outside.In this way, it should reach the neck of the giant.

The strange appearance of the stone statue layer by layer is really incomprehensible?

And there is another layer on top!
Going up the stone ladder for more than 20 steps, we have reached the highest floor at this time. There is a small space above. There are four holes on one side, two high and two short.

There are not many stone statues found along the way. There are no murals, no relics, tools and utensils, and no books and records.

Most importantly, no one.

We did not check these small holes.Although the entire stone statue is only a semi-finished product, it is also the result of countless painstaking efforts. For some reason, half of the stone statue was stopped and stranded.

It is already midnight, and there are too many ghouls outside, this stone statue is enough to rest in peace, there is no way, we can only rest here tonight.

After staying for a while, we went to the next floor and we had to go down and bring them up.

I couldn't worry about Xiaoying, so I went to take people first, Shangguanyang didn't stop me, and asked Ji Linyu to accompany me down.

The strange thing is that I ran up again shortly after I went down, and both of them were a little puzzled.

It turned out that Ji Linyu and I went down the spiral staircase, but somehow turned into the stone room. Ji Linyu was very surprised, so I came up to explain to them.

Kang Nan and Shangguan Yang wondered whether the two sides of the stone ladder were connected, but why didn't they find it before, so Kang Nan went to investigate and left me behind.

I have always been a road idiot, there might be a mystery inside this stone statue, so I no longer insist on it.

Soon, footsteps came from below, Shangguan Yang hid aside, and then a person came up from the spiral staircase and gave a signal, it was Ximen Haoshuang and Ji Linyu, and Xiao Yongqian Ouyang Jin behind.After Lan Aohan and Xiao Yanling broke up, Xiaojun came up with Xiaoying.

But Kang Nan and Gao Feng didn't come up, Ximen Hao said: "It's very safe here, the other party can really come over, and the noise when going up the stone ladder has already alerted us, what is the long hole on the second floor for? "

Ji Lin said: "The huge stone statue is built on a mountain peak, the cave leads to the top of the mountain, and there is a forest outside!"

Ximen Haoshuang looked at another hole that went up obliquely, and Shangguan Yang explained: "This is the head of the stone statue. There is not much space above it, so there is no problem."

Soon, Kang Nan and Gao Feng came up, and Gao Feng said strangely: "This building is very crafty. Although it is only a semi-finished product, the technology is not bad. Not only this stone staircase will lead to the spiral staircase, but the next floor The stone ladders are square and vertical and horizontal, with a total of six ups and downs, which can be turned back and forth between the ladder and the stone chamber. However, several connected stone chambers have not been completed, only the appearance and two stone chambers are left. If you don’t pay attention, it will be easy. Going wrong, it is equivalent to the building of the enchanted ladder, but it is only for small use, I really don't understand what is the point of building it like this?"

Kang Nan went on to talk about some details, such as the tools used to dig stone statues are very unique, the entire stone wall is as smooth as a mirror, and the construction techniques are quite old and sophisticated, which proves that these tools for making stone statues are relatively simple and simple, which reveals a primitive flavor.

But the strangest thing is that the stone chamber built by this method has a Chinese-style architectural charm in terms of location and layout, which is very special.

We discussed for a while, but couldn't figure out what the stone statue was built for. This place is too strange.

The night is deep and the moon is high.

We were tired all day, physically and mentally exhausted, decided to rest on the next floor, turned to the next floor by the ladder, and walked into the stone room again, Ximen Haoshuang sighed: "It's so strange here, we obviously came down from here, how come Will it be transferred to a stone chamber?"

Lan Aohan looked forward and took a picture, only to see the long corridors, the stone chambers were hidden, and the light was swallowed up in the dark. If you are not familiar with it, it is very easy to confuse the direction: "There is a problem here, but we don't really want to live here for a long time. Let's find someone place to rest, not too far away."

We discussed some more details, and the food and water were properly distributed.

Xiao Yongqian and I were very close, I saw Shangguan Yangyou and others, Xiaojun suddenly stepped forward and asked her sincerely: "Do you hate him?"

"Don't hate!"

Xiao Yongqian replied, then closed his eyes and ignored us.

"What a beauty pretending to be strong." Xiaojun smiled and shook his head, then took Xiaoying and took care of him to sleep.

I glanced at them and found that Ouyang Jin had fallen asleep, and Xiao Yongqian had also fallen asleep.

I was also very tired, so I didn't think too much, so I found a place and slept with my clothes on.

Soon after, the inside of the stone statue was in darkness, only the sound of breathing could be heard.

The surroundings were pitch black and deathly silent, and the stone chamber walls and the inscriptions appeared very mysterious.Now that this is the case, there are naturally people on vigil.Lan Aohan Gaofeng and Xiao Yanling were in the first half of the night, Ji Linyu and Kang Nan were in the middle, Ximen Haoshuang and Shangguan Yangyou were in the second half of the night.

Lan Aohan and Gao Feng sat down on one side. Lan Aohan and the two were in the largest stone room, and Xiao Yanling went to the next floor to guard the entrance of the stairs.The two stayed outside, and the people inside all fell asleep one after another.

I didn't think too much about myself, and fell asleep quickly. Soon after, my mind was full of thoughts, and all kinds of dreams and past events followed one after another. People who seem to be able to swim but haven't been in the water for a long time, the kind of excited memories of touching water, seem to be unable to swim But those who are about to enter the water, the kind of fear of touching the water and avoiding.

In the darkness, it seems that someone is gently comforting, gentle and greasy, expelling fear, and finally the words permeate the soul, connecting the clues into a source of stock, and finally no one knows where it flows.

From the beginning to the present, many things are reluctant to repeat in my mind, but I am unwilling to suppress all of them. I gently tell my past along this tranquility, and weep with a slight smile at the end.
