I told Zuo Youdao the location of the secret door and reminded him that it would take several minutes from going down the hole to reaching the secret door, even at the fastest speed.
Although the area of the cave is not large, there are a lot of stalactites on the ground.
You have to stand sideways and tiptoe to walk.
During this period, you have to avoid the pillars with electric currents.
The speed of travel is definitely incomparable to walking on a smooth road.
The reason why I say so much is that I want Zuo Youdao to make up his mind whether to go down and when.
I'm tired of scheming against others every day these days.
Now that Zuo Youdao, who is good at making decisions, is here, I really don't want to weigh all the pros and cons anymore.
Zuo Youdao only spent less than a second thinking, then said: "Let's go." and jumped down.
Directly below the entrance of the cave, there is a stalactite column about seven meters long.
After descending three meters from the left, Youdao hugged the stalactite column and slid down quickly along the smooth cylinder surface.
There is no electric light on this pillar.
I estimate that when Xu Xiazi and the others built the darkroom here, a ladder to the sky should be built on the pillar to travel between the seismic chamber and the fox room.
Even now, the pillars have Some deeper holes can still be seen.
When Zuo Youdao was about to slide to the bottom of the cave, I jumped into the cave entrance.
After hugging the stalactite pillar with both hands, I realized something was wrong.
This was not a naturally formed stalactite at all, but one artificially corroded by acid.
When my palm touched the cylinder, I could feel a slight burning sensation on the skin of my hand, which made me immediately attach a layer of vaginal shell to the surface of my body to prevent the skin from being corroded by the acid.
At this time, I suddenly remembered that similar acidic particles had appeared in the tomb passage connecting the Mingmu Tomb and the outside world.
If I guessed correctly, this power storage room may be directly connected to the Ming Tomb.
But I carefully scanned the roof of the cave and found that there were no holes like vents.
The entire top surface was solid.
Besides, this place is too deep underground.
Even if Blind Man Xu really wanted to dig a vent to get out, the manpower and material resources it would cost would be immeasurable.
In fact, looking back now, the reason why I thought so at the time was because I overlooked one thing.
This place is obviously a disorderly interlaced space.
We think that we are deep at a depth of more than a thousand meters underground, but in fact , we may be only twenty or thirty meters away from the surface.
At this moment, Zuo Youdao also condensed his mind power and wrapped a layer of pure yang energy around his body.
When I slid down the stalactite pillar, he immediately reached out his hand and helped me.
After I stood firm, Zuo Youdao took out his flashlight and shined it into the darkness: "The secret door is in that direction."
Seeing what he meant, he still wanted to go ahead of me.
It is his inherent habit to take the lead.
I took out the flashlight and said, "I'll light it up from behind, and you just need to follow the direction in which the beam extends."
Zuo Youdao nodded quickly, and then I pointed the direction with the flashlight, and he walked as fast as possible towards the place where the beam extended.
When he needed to stop, I would remind him in advance.
The two of us were not slow.
We walked zigzag in the stalactite forest for three or four minutes, and the seven or eight stalactite pillars surrounding the secret door were very close to us.
Buzz Suddenly there was a muffled sound in my ears.
At first I thought it was the ground shaking.
It was not until the scene around me was quickly illuminated by blue light that I realized that it was the sound of a large amount of electric current flowing along the roof of the cave.
One after another, thick currents were seen flowing into the roof of the cave along the pillars, and quickly gathered at the roof of the cave.
The electric light became brighter and brighter, and almost one-sixth of the cave roof was completely enveloped by the electric light.
Looking at the large mass of bright blue that was constantly gathering, my heart began to tremble.
The intense buzzing, coupled with the impending light, brought huge pressure that ordinary people could not imagine.
Zuo Youdao and I stopped almost at the same time, raised our heads, and looked at the ceiling of the cave in horror.

In such a closed space, even if the lightning did not fall directly on Zuo Youdao and me's heads, the residual electricity spreading along the ground could scorch us both.
Moreover, the speed of the current gathering is too fast, and it is impossible for us to rush into the secret door before the lightning appears.
All we can do now is pray that lightning doesn't appear.
Fortunately, fortunately, the current on the top of the cave slowly dispersed after hovering for a while.
Zuo Youdao and I didn't dare to delay at all, and rushed to the secret door as fast as we could.
Zuo Youdao used his green steel sword to smash the rusty lock on the stone door.
I pulled open the door panel with all my strength, and then the two of us Without even looking at what was underneath, Tou Tou jumped into the doorway.
At that time, the two of us were really scared out of our wits, our minds were confused, and our movements were very panicked.
This is what people like us are like.
We say we are not afraid of death.
We are indeed not afraid of death, but we are all mortals, and no one is really afraid of death.
We are not afraid of going deep into the place of death, nor are we afraid of death being imminent.
What we are afraid of is that if we are lucky, we will not die, but if we are not lucky, we will die in an ugly way.
That feeling of hope and despair coexisting is really uncomfortable for us.
After jumping into the doorway, I was still in a daze.
I forgot to use my ghost eyes to observe the surrounding situation, and just let my body fall lightly.
Zuo Youdao landed one step ahead of me.
After I fell three or four meters, I hit Zuo Youdao hard.
Zuo Youdao was knocked down on the spot.
His stone-hard shoulder hit me on my waist.
After landing, I twisted around and fell to the ground.
As soon as I fell to the ground, I hurriedly got up and looked at the doorway above my head.
Zuo Youdao did the same thing as me, staring at the archway, as if he was afraid of thunder and lightning.
After looking beyond the arch hole, I saw that the lightning was still surging in the earthquake chamber, but no lightning appeared for a long time.
I don’t know how long it took before I suddenly came to my senses.
I quickly threw the Bagua Qian into the arch hole, hung the money hole on the sharp corner of the door panel, then pulled the positive wire and closed the door panel again.
Until the secret door was completely closed, the sound of thunder and lightning was finally heard above the head.
When we heard this sound earlier, Zuo Youdao and I didn't think much of it, but after seeing the scene of electric light gathering, the two of us were trembling on the spot when we heard the sound.
Zuo Youdao sighed: "I have never thought thunder and lightning was so scary before."
I breathed a sigh of relief, took out the cigarette case from my backpack, and presented it to Zuo Youdao.
Zuo Youdao waved his hand and said he would not smoke.
Although people like us need to keep fit all year round and theoretically should never smoke, at the same time we often walk on the edge of life and death.
The huge pressure brought by life and death seems to be only tobacco and sweets.
It can be resolved in such a way that every person in the industry who is often suspected of it will have to wander between smoking and quitting smoking for a lifetime.
Zuo Youdao can be regarded as a special case.
I took out a cigarette and lit it, taking two puffs of smoke.
Then I calmed down and stood up to observe the situation around me.
Zuo Youdao picked up his flashlight early in the morning and scanned the light back and forth, trying to see the full picture of this dark space.
This should be the "torture chamber" depicted on the gold foil.
The entire underground chamber is only 200 to 300 square meters in size.
There are many knives hanging on the walls and pillars, most of which are tooth saws as thick as arms, and there are many more.
Windy hooks and thick back chop.
Each torture instrument was large in size and weight.
It didn't look like it was used for execution, but rather like it was used to dismember bodies.
I deliberately took off a saw from the stone pillar and took a closer look.

This thing was obviously made of iron, and no special anti-corrosion measures were taken.
However, there was no trace of rust on the whole saw, and the saw blade was still very sharp.
There was even a hint of blood on the face.
At this time, Zuo Youdao on the side also said: "Everything seems to be new."
Yes, everything looks new, and I can't even smell any age here.
Only under two circumstances will the ability of the Han family to identify fragrances and distinguish ancient things fail.
One is losing the sense of smell, and the other is that the new product is just released in front of us.
Recognizing fragrance can only identify the past, but not the present.
I put down the saw and picked up a thick-backed knife.
This kind of knife has a particularly widened back.
At first glance, it is used to chop hard objects.
Zuo Youdao waved his flashlight, and the beam illuminated a square table in the corner.
On that table were several foot-long bone-penetrating nails and a very large oil lamp.
The wick was burnt black, but the lamp oil inside was still full.
Zuo Youdao borrowed a lighter from me and went over to light the oil lamp.
The lamp oil and wick must have been specially made, and the flames were very strong.
At this time, with the square table as the center, the scene within ten meters around was illuminated.
Zuo Youdao turned off the flashlight, holding an oil lamp in one hand and a blue steel sword in the other.
He glanced around.
His eyes moved back and forth between the torture instruments on the wall a few times, and his expression became more serious.
"What's wrong?"
I asked him.
Zuo Youdao said: "How can I put it this way, the feeling these things give me is very weird.
I know they were just made not long ago, but I feel like they are very old.
It's like, after these things were made , time stood still, and this stagnation lasted for hundreds of years.”
I guess Zuo Youdao doesn't know about the fourth dimension, but his guess is amazing.
It almost reveals the most important feature of the fourth dimension, that is, the space and time here are disordered.
The so-called disorder means that it may overlap, it may retreat, it may advance in an unimaginable way, and of course it may also stagnate.
I can confirm that this torture chamber was definitely created during the Chenghua period, but nothing here will appear.
There is only one reasonable explanation for this, and that is that time here stands still.
Things that change over time will remain the same here
