Chapter 38: The Cave

But no matter what, at least I and others can still remain sane before I find out the truth.

Chen Bin held the blood cloth tightly and forcibly suppressed the urge to use it to verify his identity.

In just a few minutes, he had made the worst decision: even if he was about to die, at least he had to hand over the seal props to Qiao An first, so that he could escape from this ghost place safely.

Thinking of this, Chen Bin strode forward and quickly took away the human skin placed on the table.

Suddenly, a numb and rubbed sound came from above the head.

"Brother Bin, run!"

Outside the door, Qiao An suddenly discovered that the swing of the corpses was significantly more violent than before.

Chen Bin grabbed the human skin and turned around and rushed out. With the sound of wood breaking above his head, heavy objects fell to the ground one after another.

Just as he was about to arrive at the door, a black shadow fell from mid-air and stopped in front of Chen Bin.

Chen Bin subconsciously stopped his steps.

The next second, a face hanging upside down appeared less than ten centimeters away from him.

The black cloth on the young girl's face slowly fell, her eye sockets were slightly sunken, and her upper eyelids and lower eyelids were stitched together by iron thread, like a patched doll.

Until death, the corpse's mouth remained wide open, as if he wanted to silently vent the pain he suffered in this way.

The woman's neck was brutally broken by external force and was also exposed to a broken belly. The exposed large pool organs were hung outside her body along the abdominal cavity. Its waist was wrapped in a smooth dark red rope and hung under the eaves.

But when you look closely, the corpse was wrapped around it, but the intestines taken out of its belly.

Cold sweat slowly slid down Chen Bin's forehead. Just as he was about to bypass the female corpse and choose another way, a pair of blood-stained hands poked out from the darkness behind him and grabbed Chen Bin's ankle.

Chen Bin's reaction was very fast. In the flash of lightning, he had already thrown a blood cloth behind him.

The moment the blood cloth touched the ghost of the town, the shrill whimper suddenly filled the entire mourning hall.

The body of the resentful spirit emitted a blue-blue flame, which gradually turned into a ball of black smoke and dissipated under the burning of blood.

But this does not mean that the crisis ended. When Chen Bin saved one of the resentful spirits, two pale bodies slowly crawled out of the darkness.

"You've got the stuff, go quickly!"

Chen Bin rushed out of the door with great strides. Qiao An seized the opportunity to close the door of the mourning hall, took out a piece of blood cloth, and pressed it firmly between the cracks of the door.

Accompanied by the sound of hitting the door behind him and the howling of the woman, countless fine and dense black hair hanged above his head. Li Yonghao rushed to the front, constantly burning the blood cloth to block it, and greeted Qiao An and Chen Bin behind him to follow.

Taking advantage of the fact that the resentful spirit was unable to leave the room for the time being, the three of them fled quickly along the hall.

"You keep this thing."

While running away, Chen Bin quietly stuffed the man into Qiao An's arms.

The latter is unknown, but because he is still being chased by a demon, he doesn't have time to ask more questions.

Chen Bin, who was behind the palace, used up the blood cloth in his hand, and saw that the door was close at hand, at this moment, a pair of pale hands stretched out from under the ground and grabbed Chen Bin's calves.

"Don't look back, go find Li Taiyuan!"

Knowing that he had no chance of survival, Chen Bin used all his strength and pushed Qiao An hard.

His body was suddenly overturned by a strange force. Before Chen Bin was dragged into the darkness, he saw Li Yonghao stop and turned to look at him.

Li Yonghao did not choose to leave, but rushed towards him with an extremely ferocious expression.

"Bang"

The dark wooden door closed fiercely in a loud muffled sound.

Qiao An staggered and fell to the ground. When he struggled to get up and looked behind him, he realized that Chen Bin and Li Yonghao had both disappeared.

He was about to turn back to find his companion, but suddenly he heard a rustling sound from the bamboo forest behind him.

...

In the underground cell, Li Taiyuan and others came to a closed black iron door.

The door was not locked, and was covered with dense bloody handprints. Li Taiyuan twisted it with his fingers and found that the blood on it was not completely dry.

Through the crack in the door, everyone could vaguely hear the whistling sound of the wind coming from behind.

The dark room was like a trapped beast with open fangs waiting for the arrival of its prey in endless darkness.

The moment they entered the room, everyone felt as if they had entered an ice cellar, and their teeth were trembling by the extremely low temperature.

But it's not just weird.

The size of this room is far beyond their imagination.

Looking around, there are rock walls all around, even under your feet.

Based on the journey, Wei Yixi calculated that they are probably no longer in the Bai Mansion.

This cell and secret passage connect the natural stone cave somewhere in the back mountain. In other words, they are about to arrive at the legendary Bai Family Ancestral Hall.

The footsteps of Li Taiyuan and others echoed in the quiet cave. The terrain in the cave continued to tilt downwards, and everyone walked downwards, feeling that this road was like reaching the underground underworld.

Ning Tonghai didn't notice the bulging rocks under his feet. He staggered and hit Li Taiyuan, pressing the wound on the other party's arm with bleeding.

Ning Tonghai got up in a panic and apologized to the other party. Fortunately, Li Taiyuan did not care, but continued to urge everyone to move forward.

The temperature around is getting lower and lower. Being in a dark and depressing underground cave for a long time will have a certain impact on people's body and mind.

Gradually, the team began to become silent, and even Wei Yixi, who had always been lively, didn't speak much.

After walking for about thirty minutes, the scene in front of me finally changed.

Ruan Zhuyin took the lead in walking to a corner, and she found dozens of bones piled up in a dark pit.

Li Taiyuan stepped forward to check it out: Judging from the skeleton signs, all of these corpses were men in their prime.

Judging from their outfits and the tools scattered around, these people should be craftsmen who built secret rooms for the Bai family a hundred years ago.

"About this, I saw relevant instructions in a clan record. In order to strengthen the seal, prevent the leakage of resentment, and also prevent the secret from leaking, after the construction of the ancestral hall, the Bai family wiped out these craftsmen and left them as human pillars in the outer room of the ancestral hall." Wei Yixi said.

As everyone moved forward, they would find dead craftsmen's bodies in the corners of the cave from time to time.

While seeing these corpses, it also means that they are getting closer and closer to the final sealed place...

"Ayin, what's wrong with you?"

As he walked, Wei Yixi suddenly realized something was wrong with Ruan Zhuyin's face.

It was obviously very cold in the cave, but she seemed to have just been fished out of the river. Not only her palms, forehead, but also her back were covered with cold sweat.

"I don't know... I feel so uncomfortable... Can't you hear it? There is a woman crying..."

As soon as Ruan Zhuyin said this, Ning Tonghai's face next to her instantly turned extremely pale.

Wei Yixi was about to ask about the other party's situation, but suddenly, Ruan Zhuyin's body twitched violently as if it was electrocuted.

She widened her eyes, pointed to a certain direction on the left, and kept repeating words like "They are there!!!" and "She is about to wake up!!!".

When Li Taiyuan heard this, he immediately left the three of them and quickly trotted towards the cave that the other party pointed to. However, Wei Yixi did not keep up out of concern for her partner, but stayed, constantly asking about Ruan Zhuyin's condition, trying to restore her to sober.

When the flashlight illuminates the cave in front of him, Li Taiyuan swore that he had never seen such a curious scene in his life:

There is a huge raised stone wall in the center of the altar. A huge lacquered wooden box is placed in the center of the stone wall, and a circle of white flags are inserted around the box.

The surface of the flag is full and shiny. Its material is not ordinary silk cloth, but the stripped skin of the saints.

Under the huge rock jade, countless corpses were arranged in spiral shapes on the ground. The male corpses placed on the outermost side should be human pillars used to sacrifice; further in, all the black robes were dead women.

Until death, the town girls maintained a pious kneeling posture and fulfilled their mission during their lifetime.

The scene at the core of the inner circle is even more bizarre and terrifying:

Although a hundred years have passed, the corpses with skin stripped are not corrupt and still look fresh.

The poor saints were pierced by iron nails and fixed on the ground; they were like bullfrogs that had just been peeled and slaughtered in the vegetable market. Although their bodies were dead, their bodies were still trembling slightly under the nerve reflex.

Of course, it is not a neural reaction that causes this phenomenon, but because their bodies are all treated as containers that trap the vengeful spirits.
