Chapter 164 Tiankeng
Old man Zhong felt helpless when he heard what Liu Shiqi was thinking.
Yes, this is what the Black Gate really looks like.
This was also the reason why he didn't want Shi Qi to get in touch with him at the beginning.
Because it is too dangerous.
Although their family is gravekeepers.
But one cannot come and go freely without any damage.
The first time he went in, he went in with his grandfather.
Because at that time, except for his grandfather, he was the only one in their family who could be recognized by the bracelet.
When he first came to Black Gate, his grandfather was in his fifties and he was eighteen.
The trip nearly cost him his life.
His grandfather told him at the time that unless there was an emergency, he must not enter the imperial mausoleum.
He has always followed this.
It wasn't until he was in his twenties that he met her, Li Mengrou.
In order to save her, he entered the imperial tomb once.
After a narrow escape, I got the life-saving medicine.
But she still got married...
And before, to save Shi Qi. He entered the imperial mausoleum again.
It was also a difficult journey, but I got the spirit dragon.
But today, he still has to go in.
Save that brat Zhuang Yan.
I don’t know what Zhuang Yan did to get in there.
I really don’t want to live anymore!
When I come back, I will definitely beat him up to calm down my anger.
Old man Zhong used all his strength to open the black door.
Countless black hands quickly stretched out and grabbed his legs, arms and clothes.
Old man Zhong didn't care about that and let them grab and pull.
He was dragged in without even having to walk inside.
In the strong wind, Liu Shiqi actually saw this scene clearly.
She was extremely shocked and felt that Old Man Zhong was in danger.
She didn't have time to think about anything else.
I just want to save old man Zhong.
She ran over quickly, flipped the dark cloud in her hand, and cut off all the black hands.
The falling black hand turned into smoke and disappeared.
She quickly supported Old Man Zhong and asked anxiously.
"Grandpa, are you okay?"
"Are you injured anywhere?"
Old Man Zhong turned his head in surprise and stared at her.
Only then did I realize that Liu Shiqi actually ran over.
He cursed angrily.
"What are you doing here, you little girl? Get back now!"
"Go back!"
Liu Shiqi was stunned, but it was too late to step back.
A black arm like a torrent quickly rushed out of the black door and directly swept Liu Shiqi up.
Liu Shiqi's murderous aura was fully unleashed.
The dark cloud in his hand flipped and chopped quickly.
As a result, the black hands kept cutting more and more, and it felt like there was no end.
Old man Zhong has disappeared.
At the last moment, Liu Shiqi was also pulled into the black door.
Then, the black door slammed shut.
Everything returned to calm.
I don’t know how long it took, but Liu Shiqi felt in a daze that someone seemed to be patting her face.
She frowned and brushed it off subconsciously.
"Smelly……"
"Stinky girl..."
"You little bitch, wake up!"
She gradually woke up.
Open your eyes.
Then she saw Old Man Zhong looking at her with a complicated expression.
"You little bastard, can't you just listen to me?"
"Is it a relief?"
Liu Shiqi was stunned and looked around.
It was dark everywhere, a little dim and hard to see clearly.
Liu Shiqi quickly sat up.
Only then did they realize that they were in a very, very large cave.
It feels like it can hold two or three football fields.
On the top of the cave, a little light leaked through from a small stone hole, forming a faint light.
It won't be so pitch dark that people can't see their hands in front of them.
Old man Zhong saw her looking around, full of curiosity, his eyes sparkling.
He curled his eyes speechlessly.
A newborn calf is really not afraid of a tiger.
It felt like she was just walking down the street, not scared at all.
Old Man Zhong said, "Alright, alright, get up!"
"Now that you're already here, follow me!"
In fact, Old Man Zhong had been thinking of waiting until Liu Shi was 78 years old before taking her into the imperial mausoleum to familiarize her with the environment.
Just like his grandfather used to take care of him.
As a result, Shi Qi is only twelve years old now, not yet thirteen.
For some unknown reason, I followed him in.
Otherwise, this plan cannot keep up with the changes.
Liu Shiqi got up and brushed the dirt off his body.
Only then did I realize that there was no soil underground.
Because the entire floor was paved with black marble, as smooth as a mirror.
She was standing on it, and there was a little reflection.
Old man Zhong walked straight forward.
Liu Shiqi hurriedly followed.
"Grandfather, Grandfather!"
"What about those black hands?"
“Why is it gone!”
Old Man Zhong glared at her, "We've already passed that stage!"
He had just carried her on his back to avoid the ghost's hand, but he used up all his strength.
Fortunately, he is good at Qinggong.
Otherwise, it would be game over as soon as you enter the imperial mausoleum.
Liu Shiqi was confused, but it seemed that old man Zhong was in a bad mood.
She didn't dare to say anything more.
They walked for about a quarter of an hour.
They both stopped.
Liu Shiqi was surprised to find that there was a huge sinkhole in front of them.
They stood on the edge of the sinkhole and felt as small as ants.
It was pitch black at the bottom of the sinkhole and nothing could be seen. There were also gusts of cold wind blowing from the bottom to the top.
Liu Shiqi couldn't help but shiver.
She asked uncertainly, "Grandfather!"
"Is this the imperial mausoleum?"
Grandfather Zhong stretched out his hand, pointed respectfully to the bottom of the sinkhole, and said.
"Yes, the imperial tomb is at the bottom of this tiankeng!"
"I guess that Zhuang Yan is not up there, so he must have gone down there!"
Old man Zhong narrowed his eyes.
He paid special attention and found that Zhuang Yan was not in the ghost hand area, nor was he here.
Then he could only have gone to the bottom of the tiankeng.
But how did he get down there?
Could it be that he fell down accidentally?
That would mean death without a complete body...
However, seeing how much Liu Shiqi cared about Zhuang Yan, Old Man Zhong didn't dare to say it directly.
He pointed to a particularly narrow staircase leading down next to him and said. "Let's go down!"
"Remember, don't touch anything on the wall casually!"
Liu Shiqi nodded.
Old Man Zhong glared at her, "This time, you must obey!"
"In a moment, wherever I step, you will step there!"
"If you step on the wrong one, you will fall straight down!"
Liu Shiqi hurriedly took care of himself, "Okay, okay, I will definitely listen to you this time!"
Old man Zhong rolled his eyes.
Why is he so unconvinced?
But now that he's come to this, he has no other choice.
He didn't dare to leave Liu Shiqi here alone.
It seems peaceful here, but in fact it is full of traps.
If you are not careful, you will be doomed.
After giving his instructions once more, Old Man Zhong took the lead and walked towards the bottom of the tiankeng...
