The steps went downwards and were very steep.
On both sides were walls made of bluestone.
The walls were wet.
The steps were covered with a layer of black stuff, so it was impossible to tell what the steps were made of.
Lao Bai asked me to stand aside first.
He squatted down and touched the dark things on the steps with his hands.
He said, "This is corpse moss.
It is similar to ordinary moss, but it is poisonous.
It seems that there is accumulation of sediment down there."
The corpse is dead."
After saying this, he frowned.
When I heard the word "corpse accumulation place", I felt a chill on my back.
However, the corpse accumulation place is often not far from the main tomb, so if it is really the corpse accumulation place down there, then we should be far away from the main burial chamber of this underground palace.
The tomb is not far away.
"Lao Bai, how is the air down here?"
I asked.
"The corpse moss is growing so vigorously, which means that the air is relatively smooth, but it may be poisonous.
Try to breathe slowly when you go down.
Since the air down here is very smooth, the poison in the air will not be too strong.
Let's walk over quickly.
Okay.
And there might be a river down here."
After Lao Bai finished speaking, he gestured "Follow me" to me and Mr.
Kai, and walked down with a flashlight.
I still asked Mr.
Kai to go to the middle and cut off the back myself.
Before going down, I put the hammer on top of the coffin, fearing that the mechanism would close automatically after we went down.
Stepping on corpse moss feels weird, like stepping on snow, with a crunching sound, rather than the feeling of stepping on ordinary moss.
Because the steps were very steep, we walked very slowly.
At first we could still walk down slowly, but by the end the steps were basically close to 90 degrees.
Lao Bai asked us to smear our hands with our own blood and climb down.
I tied myself and Kai Ye together with a rope again and started to climb down.
It's strange to say that when I smeared my own blood on my hands, the corpse mosses quickly spread to both sides as if they were frightened, like a swarm of ants, desperately squeezing in both directions.
The further down I went, the colder feeling got heavier and heavier.
After climbing down for a while, I already felt my hands starting to get cold.
Just when I was about to ask Mr.
Kai how he was doing, there was a "pop" sound from below.
It should be Lao Bai who jumped into the water.
To be precise, it's not water.
Judging from the sound, this water is much thicker than ordinary water.
Then there was another popping sound, and Mr.
Kai jumped down.
Because the part under the steps is too small, and I had a headlamp strapped to my head, it was difficult to look down.
"Qin Feng, come down quickly."
Kai Ye shouted from below.

I quickly climbed down for a while, and as soon as I let go of my hands, I fell down, and fell into the water with a plop.
When I got down there, I realized that this was not water, but blood, human blood.
Below here is a, how should I say, a small palace.
The square room was topped with four stone pillars as thick as one person's arms.
This pattern was engraved on the pillars.
I took a flashlight and shined it over it.
Under the reflection of blood and water, the pillars looked red.
The room was filled with blood, as deep as my chest.
There was a stone door on the wall opposite us, half open, and blood was flowing toward the door.
"Old Bai, is this the place where corpses are accumulated?"
I asked.
Lao Bai nodded and said: "This should be the entrance to the tomb of the master of the underground palace.
There should be an open space behind the door.
The corpse vine we saw above may grow there.
This underground palace is very cleverly designed.
Look at these The blood is flowing, flowing into the door, but the depth of the blood has not changed.
The blood should be flowing from somewhere else.
From now on, don't walk on the ground and swim through the blood.
Maybe there is something.”
As he spoke, Lao Bai swam towards the half-open door.
Kai Ye and I also swam over with Lao Bai.
Although we already knew that there might be countless human bones under the bloody water, but this kind of thing As long as you don't see it, you can still bear it psychologically.
When Lao Bai swam to the middle, he stopped, seemed to be stepping on the ground with his feet, and then said to us: "You two stand there first and don't come over, there is something down here."
After saying that, he plunged into the bloody water.
After about a minute or two, Lao Bai suddenly emerged from the water, his face covered with blood, and he looked very scary.
I remembered the transformation of the old white corpse before, and I couldn't help but shudder.
The blood below had been there for who knows how many years, but it hadn't dried up.
There must be something weird about it.
Lao Bai wiped his face with his hands and said, "Swim from both sides.
There is a bronze coffin below."
"Why don't you open it?
Maybe there will be clues about this underground palace.
We still don't know anything about this underground palace."
I asked.
Lao Bai shook his head and said: "If this coffin was soaked in ordinary water, there would be no problem, but now it is soaked in blood.
If there are rice dumplings in the coffin, the strength will be greatly increased when seeing the blood.
Besides, the master of the underground palace will The tomb should be very close to here, there is no need to waste energy and take this risk."
That's right.
The main tomb chamber usually contains a biography of the tomb owner.
Even if there is no biography of the tomb owner, the age of the underground palace can be judged from the tomb owner's body.
The problem now is that we have found the main tomb chamber and know the age of the underground palace, but how to get out?
Is there an underground river below?
Thinking of this, I feel a little happy.
If there is really an underground river, then there is a way to get out. .
The three of us walked around and swam over.

When we passed the stone pillars on the road, I took a look.
The pillars were carved with blue dragon patterns, which looked so lifelike.
I really don’t know how people in the past had such good stone carving skills.
Soon we swam to the open stone door.
Lao Bai swam over first, swam back and forth on the other side of the door, and called me and Kai Ye in.
After passing the stone gate, there is a corridor.
It is dark ahead, with some faint light not far away.
It seems that the corridor is not too long.
The stone walls on both sides of the corridor are covered with corpse moss, which makes people feel sick.
After swimming forward for a while, the ground suddenly became higher.
When we stood up, the blood only reached our knees, so we had to start walking forward slowly.
I'm wondering why the ground here has obviously increased, but the flow of blood has not changed.
Shouldn't it flow back?
But this underground palace is so weird, even if a big snake suddenly appears from the water now, it wouldn't be strange.
After walking for another ten meters, we finally walked out of the corridor.
The depth of the blood here has become as high as the ankle, flowing forward along a jade bridge.
The outside of the corridor looks very awkward, like a human-sized natural cave, twice the size of the previous palace.
The ground was covered with something dark, and a few bones were exposed.
There seemed to be a single square tomb in the middle of the cave, which was densely entangled with many corpse vines, each one as thick as an arm.
The corpse vines kept growing upwards to who knows where
