Chapter 973: The Passage to the Outside
After staying in the underground cave for a long time, Zhuang Lin crawled out unwillingly, stood next to the flower pond of rebirth, and looked at the empty pool, his heart almost sinking to the bottom.
"Go to the crooked tree in the Buddhist temple to take a look. There should be the only hope." After a long time, he sighed, held the shovel in his hand, and turned around and walked towards the next floor.
Returning to the Buddhist temple and looking at the crooked tree, Zhuang Lin had no hope. He even wanted to throw away the shovel in his hand, and then summoned Wu Mu Corpse King, Dao Jun, and the Dragon, so that they could help him and break the perverted tomb door.
However, in the end, he suppressed this idea. Before he could end his journey, he did not want to rely too much on Wu Mu Zi Wang and Daojun. Perhaps this might reduce their troubles, but it would inevitably have a great impact on his future growth.
"Your Makini, what will you do next?" The old man with white bearded looked at Zhuang Lin standing under the crooked tree carrying an iron rod and asked.
"Digging a tree" Zhuang Lin said, then bent down and began to dig under the roots of this crooked tree.
Hearing his words, the old man with white beard was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand something, nodded repeatedly, waved to the other people, and he also took out an iron chisel, walked to the other side of the crooked tree, and began to lower his head to dig the tree.
The crooked tree is just a small place, and there is no need for six people to dig. As the only woman, Peng Juan can only stand by and watch the fun.
The five men dug them at the same time, and they were all martial artists. They dug up surprisingly fast. In just over ten minutes, all the soil around the crooked tree was dug out. Gradually, a pit with a narrow upper and wide lower appeared below.
I don’t know what kind of tree this crooked-neck tree is. The roots below are so sparse, with only one of the thickest and largest roots that leads directly to the ground. There are nine additional small roots on both sides of this main root. It looks hard to imagine how it survived in this underground world with these roots.
Digging down along the main root of the crooked tree, about six or seven meters deep, the iron rod in the white-bearded old man hit some hard object, making a harsh sound.
When Zhuang Lin heard this sound, his heart suddenly sank to the bottom. In the flower pond of rebirth, the pit was just seven meters below the ground and encountered a bluestone floor. Now, when he was digging here, he encountered a hard object at the same depth. At the first moment, he thought of bluestone slabs.
The white-bearded old man's face was not very good either, but he was patient and carefully dug out the wet layer of soil. When the layer of soil was dug out, what appeared in front of him was indeed a blue stone slab.
When he saw the blue stone slab, Zhuang Lin's face showed a strong look of disappointment, and then he straightened his waist and stopped digging.
"Dongdongdongdongdong" The white-bearded old man squatted down, took the iron chisel, and hit the bluestone slab a few times, and then a muffled sound came.
When he heard this dull sound, Zhuang Lin, who had no hope, suddenly lit up in front of him.
The sound told him that the blue stone slab was empty, that is to say, the thickness of the stone slab here would definitely not exceed twenty centimeters. With his ability, such a thickness could be completely smashed. Moreover, he suspected that there might be a passage to the outside world hidden under the stone slab.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he squatted down and quickly cleaned the soil under his feet with the old white-bearded man.
When the space they stood was expanded to about two meters, the stone slab under their feet was completely presented in their field of vision. At this time, they happened that the stone slab was actually the bluestone next to it and was not connected.
To be more precise, this stone slab with a diameter of about one meter was placed here artificially to cover something.
"Open and take a look." Zhuang Lin took a deep breath and looked at the old white-bearded man. Then, the two of them carefully moved the stone slab. When the stone slab was moved away, what appeared in front of them was a dark cave.
This is a cave that extends toward the bottom. Under the light of the searchlight, you can see a stone staircase in the cave. When you see this stone staircase, whether it is Zhuang Lin or the old man with white beard, you will have a happy look on your face.
When you find such a secret passage here, you obviously have to connect with the ground world.
"Give me a searchlight, I'll go in first, you guys follow behind." Zhuang Lin asked for a searchlight from the old man with white beard, reminded them, then got up and walked towards the cave.
The white-bearded old man dared to hesitate at all. When Zhuang Lin's figure entered the cave, they followed Zhuang Lin one by one and walked into the cave.
This was a cave that seemed to have no end. The stone staircase extended infinitely towards the ground. In the end, Zhuang Lin didn't even remember how many stairs he had walked through. Until a shiny look appeared in front of him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
After walking forward quickly, after about a minute, the stone staircase finally reached its end. An oval portal appeared in his eyes. It was a small door with a height of only one meter and five meters and a width of only half a meter, built with stones.
He bent over and walked through the small door. When the world in front of him suddenly became clear, Zhuang Lin was stunned.
In his eyes, it was not the familiar scenery outside, but a strange world that was completely unfamiliar. The dim sky was invisible to see the shadow of the sun, and the earth that could not see the end was a wilderness. In the distance, bare hills, and a river flowed through the distant world.
What surprised him the most was that the river water in the river was red and looked like human blood. There were countless black shadows hovering above the river. From a distance, it seemed that the ghost in the TV series.
The call of the wind sounded more like a human wail.
It was unknown how long it took, but Zhuang Lin took his eyes back from the distance and forgot about where he was standing. Then he realized that the place where he appeared was actually on a cliff.
