Qingquan's call for help prompted Li Qingxiang to rush in immediately. Tang Qianlin quickly looked and flicked his body to block him.

Li Qingxiang said anxiously: Human life is at stake, even if they are fools, they can be saved.

Master Xiang, it’s not that I don’t save them, you look inside. Tang Qianlin shines the darkness with his flashlight. The light of the flashlight shines in and can’t see anything. What does this mean?

After Tang Qianlin reminded him, Li Qingxiang calmed down.

If the flashlight shines directly into a dark environment but can't see anything, it can only explain two points: either the environment is too empty or other reasons that cannot be explained, and such reasons often mean danger.

At this time, the sound of help and gunshots inside disappeared. The two of them stared at the darkness. All they could hear was their own heartbeat, and their heartbeat was getting faster and faster.

Afterwards, Li Qingxiang and Tang Qianlin couldn't help but start to retreat. After several steps, they stopped and looked at the darkness ahead.

Li Qingxiang frowned and said: No, we still have to go in and take a look. We can't go back now, right?

Tang Qianlin thought for a moment and said: Senior, wait a moment.

Tang Qianlin took out several strange long objects from his bag and combined them together to form a spear.

Li Qingxiang looked at the strange weapon in Tang Qianlin's hand and sighed: I never thought I could see the next phoenix spear again in this life.

The weapon in Tang Qianlin's hand is called the Xiafeng Spear, which is a special weapon for hunting.

The lower phoenix spear consists of three parts, starting from the end, which is the fixed wind ruler, the fixed wand ruler and the phoenix tail ruler.

The fixed wind ruler is about 45 cm long, like a ruler, made of mixed copper, hollow like a flute, with an internal mechanism blocking and eight holes on the outside. After facing the wind, the wind can be measured according to the sound of the wind blowing into the ruler, and the wind is blocked by the wind firing mechanism blocking. According to the eight sounds, the wind is strong and weak, wind is made into 8 levels: gold, stone, silk, bamboo, sheng, fou, leather, and wood.

The fixed-bar ruler is composed of three semi-cylindrical rulers of the same length as the fixed-bar ruler. They are separated within daily life and marked with scales on them. They are used to measure the depth of water and soil layer and are made of stainless steel.

Finally, there is the phoenix tail ruler, which is the spear head of the lower phoenix spear. It has a characteristic spinal skeleton-like soft ruler, about 35 cm long, with a compass at the front end, and a sharp edge. After being rolled together, it can become a phoenix tail compass dedicated to catching.

Tang Qianlin, who held the phoenix spear in his hand, said: Senior, I am in front, you are behind, you are in support.

Tang Qianlin felt a little regretful after saying this, because would the word assist make Li Qingxiang feel unhappy? After all, this old man is desperate for face.

Who knew that Li Qingxiang had no indication, but just raised his pistol and signaled Tang Qianlin to walk forward.

Tang Qianlin walked forward with a spear in his hand, and he had to pause deliberately every three steps. After the two of them walked into the darkness, a gust of cold wind came from all over.

No wind would blow from all directions. Tang Qianlin watched closely around and felt the murderous intent emitted by the monsters hidden in this strange environment.

On the right! Tang Qianlin suddenly stabbed at the right side with a gun. While the spearhead stabbed the thing in the dark, the gun in Li Qingxiang's hand also fired.

The thing fled strangely and hid into the darkness. Tang Qianlin took back the phoenix spear, looked at the blood on the spearhead, and smiled slightly and said: There is blood, which means this thing can be killed, so I feel relieved.

Li Qingxiang leaned against Tang Qianlin and asked: How do you know it is on the right?

Tang Qianlin pointed to his ear and said: The thing's breathing is very heavy, you can hear it by calming down and listening carefully.

Is that right? Li Qingxiang took a deep breath, then pricked up his ears and listened. He said for a long time, but I didn't hear it, and I heard my heartbeat.

Tang Qianlin smiled and said: Your heartbeat is faster, which means you are still not calm enough.

Li Qingxiang was a little surprised. Not long ago, Tang Qianlin was as nervous as himself. Why did this kid calm down immediately after entering this environment and still hear the monster's gasping? I really don't know what kind of training this kid has received before.

Keep moving forward? Li Qingxiang slowly moved his steps.

Tang Qianlin said: The key is where it is, there is darkness around it, you can’t see anything, you don’t know where it is and how big it is.

Li Qingxiang suddenly remembered something: By the way, I remembered it. I brought a signal gun, this thing might be useful.

Li Qingxiang took out the signal gun, loaded it up, gestured around, and finally fired toward the upper right side.

After the signal ejected from the bore, it flew directly into the air and did not hit the top of the cave for a long time, which was enough to show how big the cave deep in the two of them was.

While the signal flare flew to the limit and slowly fell, the two vaguely saw a very strange building in the distance, with a long staircase under the building, which shone under the flare.

Li Qingxiang and Tang Qianlin looked at each other in amazement. When the signal flare was about to fall to the ground, Tang Qianlin saw a brazier on the right side of the stairs. He took advantage of the last light and went forward with a flashlight, trying to find something to light the brazier.

Li Qingxiang stepped forward and shone the flashlight in the brazier, but said in surprise: Yehuo Crystal!

Tang Qianlin asked in confusion: What?

Li Qingxiang pointed to the things in the brazier that looked like charcoal but were all red and said: If it was really the Night Fire Crystal, then we would be rich this time.

Tang Qianlin shook his head: Master Xiang, we are not here to make a fortune.

Oh, yes, so excited, I forgot the serious matter. Li Qingxiang said that he took out the match and asked to light Yehuojing. After thinking about it, he took out a piece of it from it, carefully put it in his bag, and then lit the match and threw it in.

After throwing the match into the brazier, the night fire crystal was burning instantly, and the heat and light emitted were dozens of times stronger than ordinary charcoal fire.

Li Qingxiang smiled and said: It was indeed Ye Huojing. Unexpectedly, my colleagues had been looking for something for hundreds of years and were hit by me.

Tang Qianlin followed Li Qingxiang and lit the brazier next to him, completely illuminating the stairs.

Tang Qianlin asked: Master Xiang, what is Yehuo Crystal?

Li Qingxiang explained: A natural charcoal that is rare in the legend.

Natural charcoal? Tang Qianlin looked at the night fire crystals burning in the brazier. Isn’t charcoal made of wood? Why do you have any saying that natural charcoal?

Li Qingxiang took out the night fire crystal that was placed in his bag: This is the magical place of nature. There are many things that humans cannot explain now. The first discovery of the night fire crystal was in the Han Dynasty. It was after a certain flood. The fire red charcoal found in the river channel by the people. Even if it was wet, it was still stuck in the fire. But since then, the existence of the night fire crystal was discovered again in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, for us rushers, the night fire crystal is a legend.

Speaking of this, Li Qingxiang smiled and said: It should be for their evacuator, I have already washed my hands.

Tang Qianlin just smiled and said: Master Xiang, let’s do the serious business, look at it.

Tang Qianlin shone the above with a flashlight. Although the light of the flashlight could not play a big role and could only illuminate the steps, Li Qingxiang still understood Tang Qianlin's intention.

Li Qingxiang looked up the stairs and said: When the signal flare fell just now, did you also see the strange building above?

Tang Qianlin nodded and said: Yes, it looks like a palace.

Li Qingxiang looked at Tang Qianlin and said: I know what you are thinking. Do you think that is the legendary Shaman Spirit Palace?

Tang Qianlin thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: Although I hope so, I don’t think it’s that simple. How could I find it so coincidentally?

Li Qingxiang said: No matter whether it is, we will know after going up and going in, let’s go.

Just as Li Qingxiang was about to climb the stairs, Tang Qianlin stopped him again and pointed at the stairs and said: Master Xiang, be careful, pay attention to your feet, and see clearly what this stairs are.

After Tang Qianlin said this, Li Qingxiang lowered his head and looked carefully. After careful examination, he realized that the so-called staircase was composed of blades.

Li Qingxiang squatted down, picked up a stone and knocked it. The stone hit the blade and made a crisp sound.

I thought it was a decoration. Li Qingxiang took a breath of air conditioning, but he didn't expect it to be true.

Speaking of this, Li Qingxiang suddenly remembered something: This should be a knife ladder, right?

Tang Qianlin said: Yes, it should be a knife ladder. The ritual of climbing the knife ladder is very old, but now only the Xibe tribe has been preserved. Among the Xibe tribe, this ritual is called "Chakulan", which is a ritual of shamans and an assessment of shamans.

Among the Xibe tribe, ordinary shamans are called Bud, meaning that they are not famous or have not yet mastered. The famous shaman is called Yiletu. To become Yiletu from Bud, in addition to learning from his master, the most important thing is to go up the sword ladder.

Going up the sword ladder is a difficult and severe test. Only by passing this level can the shaman apprentice understand the gods in the upper realm and become the envoy of all spirits with high magic power.

Normally, the knife ladder should be made of wood. This kind of stone is very rare. From this, it can be concluded that this place must be built by Essa. Tang Qianlin had a bad premonition. The knife ladder ceremony must be prepared 20 days in advance, and the location is built in the yard of the knife ladder's home. Four wooden pillars are erected at four corners and pulled up with ropes to form a ritual site in all directions. It is also a talisman in the situation, that is, a barrier.

The setting of the knife ladder is also very particular. Two tree stumps that are as tall as dozens of meters, with a bowl-shaped mouth and straightness, and two wooden pillars are wrapped with red and green cloth strips, and the two pillars are about two feet apart. Then the blade of the steel knife is placed upwards and the distance between each steel knife is about one foot.

There are also some considerations for the number of steps of the knife ladder, at least 17 levels, generally at 25 levels, and at most 49 levels.

Before the ceremony begins, sacrifices are also required to slaughter a ram and a bull.

Tang Qianlin explained this and looked up the stairs and said: This direction should be south.

Li Qingxiang asked: Why are you so sure?

Tang Qianlin said: The opposite side of the sword ladder must be south, which is of particular importance. I said before that the goddess of creation was located in the south during the Battle of Heavenly Palace, and was called "Yesanzhu Mama Yiboye"; the east is the demon, and was called "Yibahan".

Li Qingxiang asked: Isn’t it called Yaleri?
