Chapter 308 Underground Maze

Ouyang Li was tortured for several nights, and he used countless strength and sweated countless times. As a result, the strength was vain and the sweat was even more vain. He felt angry in his heart, and the stone he raised was naturally astonishingly large as about 200 pounds. He threw it into the pit. As soon as the big stone fell to the bottom of the pit, the pit collapsed after a loud bang!

A burst of dust rose from the pit and rushed out of the pit! Everyone standing by the pit shouted together and retreated one after another!

Wang Ping'an shouted: "There are still pits under the pit!"

Di Renjie shouted happily: "I'm right, I'm very good at reading Feng Shui, and I'm very good at Chang'an!"

The Ouyang brothers shouted together, "Brother is very good!" They dug for several nights and didn't dig out anything, but just when they were about to give up, Ouyang Li smashed a big stone and even broke out a secret!

After a long time, Feichen fell down and calmed down in the pit!

Ouyang Li waved his hand, and the two brothers immediately pulled out their knives and ran around the house to check if anyone was peeping around. Ouyang Lize found a big tree branch, lit it with a torch, and threw it into the deep pit!

With the flames emitted by the burning tree branches, Wang Ping'an leaned into the pit and saw that the pit below was very deep, at least five feet away. After the fire came up, it was already very weak. Especially in the middle of the night, seeing such a deep cave gave Wang Ping'an a feeling that this was the cave where the monster lived, and it was like the bottomless pit described in "Journey to the West"!

Di Renjie was so happy that he rubbed his hands, not knowing how to express his joy in his heart. He said, "How is it, there is indeed a secret. I guess this cave is the place where Yang Su buried his treasures before. After so many years, he finally saw the light of heaven again." After a pause, he said, "Under my guidance, I will see the light of heaven again!"

Wang Ping'an looked up and smiled at him, saying, "Yes, you have a day to guide others, it's so good!"

Ouyang Li lay down by the pit and looked down. He said, "The foul air in this cave is too strong, and it needs to be ventilated well. I guess I can't go down tonight, at least tomorrow!"

Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "Yes, I can't go down now. Look, the big tree branch has been extinguished, which means that people cannot enter the lower part. It will take a while to ventilate and blow the foul air in the cave clean!"

Di Renjie was a little disappointed. He looked at the pit. Of course, he couldn't see anything. He said in a frustration: "Not tonight, when will that happen?"

Wang Ping'an stood up, patted the dust on his hands, and said, "It will be noon tomorrow. At that time, the yang energy is in full, so you can go down the hole to explore!"

"But in broad daylight, what if someone finds us?" Di Renjie said with some concern. Before Wang Ping'an could answer, he came up with a solution himself and said, "Just say that this is haunted, and the idle people will naturally not dare to come over!"

Ouyang Li smiled and said, "This is simple, why bother to say it's a haunted person? We can just pretend to be a ghost!" He waved to a brother and gave this order!

Wang Ping'an looked at the deep pit for a while and then said, "Let's just do this tonight, send someone to stay here. Let's come again at noon tomorrow, bring enough tools and see what's underneath!"

Di Renjie found a big stone, sat up, and said, "Yes, you guys go back, I will stay here tonight, I will come to guard!"

Wang Ping'an said excitedly, "What's the use of you here? If you want to hit people, who can you stop me? If you want to pretend to be scared by ghosts, it would be great if you don't be scared by ghosts. Why are you pretending to be like a ghost? Let's go back to sleep with me!"

Ouyang Li also smiled and said, "That's not true. Xiao Di, I look down on you if you are not brother. If you stay here, you won't be able to do anything. You'd better go back to bed quickly!"

But Di Renjie refused to leave no matter how others persuaded him, and he had to stay. Not to mention Wang Ping'an pulling him, even if he used a cow to pull him, he would not leave!

Wang Ping'an couldn't, so he had to let him stay here, with Ouyang Li accompanying him, and he took his people back to Inspiration Temple!

No words all night.

The next morning, Wang Ping'an got up and asked the Ouyang brothers to prepare various tools. If there is no one in the temple, they will go to the market to buy it. Anyway, there are everything on Zhuque Street. As long as you have money, you can buy it. And you can choose between beauty and ugliness!

When I bought all the things and arrived at the old Yang family house, it was almost noon. It was not as they thought, and I had to pretend to be a ghost and scare people. I had never been there overnight, and there was no danger of any news leaking. I guess there had been ghosts here before, so the people never come here for no reason!

When he arrived at the Feng Shui Building, he saw Di Renjie lying in the distance under a big tree, while Ouyang Li stood by the pit, with his hands behind his back, thinking about something. Ouyang Li's physique is far stronger than ordinary people, and not sleeping all night is a bit difficult for Di Renjie, but for him, he has nothing to do and he can't feel any fatigue at all!

Seeing Wang Ping'an coming, Ouyang Li came over and said, "Master, this cave should be able to go down. I threw the torch twice, but it was not extinguished. It was all waited for a long time before it burned out. According to common sense, it should be fine if people go down!"

Wang Ping'an nodded, came to the edge of the pit, and looked down. Although there was plenty of sunshine, he still couldn't see clearly the scene below the deep hole. The big hole five or six feet deep may even exceed this number. Ordinary wells are not so deep, so of course they can't see clearly!

Brother Ouyang carried several large baskets, filled with tools, not only ropes and various lighting tools, but also brought them with armor, but also two iron shields to prevent any mechanisms and hidden weapons and cold arrows below!

Ouyang Li picked up the iron helmet, put it on his head, and said, "I'll go down first. If it's okay, you guys go down!"

Ouyang Yi said, "Brother, you haven't been asleep all night, so I'm afraid you're not going to have enough energy, so let me go!" As he said that, he was wearing neatly with a helmet and armor, holding a torch in his left hand, a big knife in his right hand, and an iron shield behind him, fully armed. Ouyang Shuang took a small pocket, let him bite it in his mouth, and then inserted something black into his waist!

Di Renjie stopped sleeping and ran over under the tree and asked, "Why is there anything in his mouth and waist in his dress?"

Ouyang Shuang said: "The bag contains black dog blood, and the waist is filled with black donkey hooves. I don't know what it is. That's what the owner told me. I bought it at the market now!"

Di Renjie turned his head and asked Wang Ping'an: "What are these things for?"

Wang Ping'an said: "What I see from a book is about tomb robbers. It says that black dog blood and black donkey hoofs can ward off evil spirits. If there are evil ghosts or zombies under it, as long as you bite the pouch and spray the black dog blood on the ghost, then use the black donkey hoofs to beat the ghost, the ghost will be scattered and cannot harm others anymore. This method is tried and done!"

Di Renjie was shocked and asked, "What kind of book is that? He actually wrote these things. He taught people how to rob tombs..."

Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "Yes, this book is too..."

Di Renjie said, "Brother, I have never heard of this precious book. It must be a handwritten copy of the lonely book. It is very precious. When you go back, you must show it to me. I will read it carefully and study it carefully!"

Wang Ping'an's face turned bitter and said, "This, this...that book was read when I was a child. It has been lost for a long time. I don't know if it was used to cause fire or something. Anyway, it's gone and I can't find it again!"

Di Renjie stomped his feet and sighed. It was so disappointing to not see the book about tomb robbers!

Ouyang Yi had a rope tied around his waist, and his brothers walked him down!

Soon after, Ouyang Yi reached the bottom of the cave and shouted upwards: "Can you hear me speak?"

Ouyang Shuang replied above: "You can hear it, be careful, don't get ambushed in the mechanism!"

Ouyang Yi replied at the top of his voice: "There is a fart mechanism that is ambushing. There is a broken cave below and there is a corridor. There is nothing left, and there is not even a dead person!"

"Then you have to be careful!" Brothers and others shouted together.

Ouyang Yi untied his body around his waist and shouted upwards: "I'll go back, you can wait!" He raised the torch, held the big knife, and entered the corridor!

The people above had to wait for his news, but there was no movement on the left and Ouyang Yi was waiting for the right and not back. After waiting for two quarters of an hour, Ouyang Yi was still unaware of his life and death, and there was no sound coming from below!

Ouyang Li was anxious and said, "Will something happen below? Some organs are ambushing, or something like that, I will eat him!"

Di Renjie said, "He is so big, what a ghost can eat him? What a big mouth!"

Wang Ping'an was also very anxious and said, "Don't wait any longer. If you go down, I will go down this time. If I don't enter the tiger's den, how can I get a tiger? I'm just waiting for news on it, and I'm even more anxious and uncomfortable. I won't go down and take a look!"

"Master, you can't go down. Who knows what dangers are there? You are not afraid of mechanisms or something. But if there are evil ghosts, we can't deal with them!" Ouyang Li said anxiously. He pulled Wang Ping'an and refused to let him go down and take risks.

People these days are superstitious. People like the Ouyang brothers who are very skilled and brave, are afraid of not ambushing the mechanism, but are afraid of things like ghosts. They can be brave to people, but if they face evil ghosts, what's the use of being brave? Ghosts are not as brave as they are!

But Wang Ping'an was just the opposite of them. He was afraid of mechanisms, but not ghosts, black dog blood and black donkey hooves. That was to reassure these superstitious people, so he didn't believe it!

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "You forgot that I am the ancestor of the Great Saint An, the saint and the witches. When the evil ghost saw me, it was too late to hide, so how dare I harm me? Such a female ghost is better. I will catch it home as a girl and take her foot washing water at night!"

He insisted on not staying on it, and Brother Ouyang could not do it, so he had to let him go, but Di Renjie came to make fun of it again, and he had to go down, and Wang Ping'an even agreed, so everyone had to go down!

Wang Ping'an wore a piece of armor, and Di Renjie was the same. Ouyang Li and Ouyang Shuang went down first to explore the way, Wang Ping'an and Di Renjie went down afterwards, and the Ouyang Shan brothers also went down in batches, leaving only Ouyang Ba on it, holding a knife to protect him to prevent anyone from coming.

When I went down into the deep cave, I fell to the ground and saw the big stone thrown by Ouyang Li. Next to the big stone, there was a corridor. The corridor was quite wide and there was no feeling of a small earth hole. The corridor was surrounded by huge stones and bricks, neatly built, and there were small holes for oil lamps on the walls, which were square. Just from the construction techniques of this corridor, it was absolutely first-class. It was written by the master. Even a powerful official like Yang Su could not build such a big tunnel under his building!

Di Renjie held up the torch, looked at the corridor, and whispered: "I guess this tunnel should be Yuwen Kaixiu, right? Brother, look at these stone bricks, the materials used are the same as those in Chang'an City Wall, and they are all the ones that will not be destroyed for a hundred years!"

Wang Ping'an looked at it and said, "It seems to be a bit like the stone bricks on the city wall, very grand!"

When everyone was down, they walked into the corridor with a torch. Ouyang Li held a large shield in his hand, hid a knife behind the shield, walked carefully in front, followed by Ouyang Shuang, and then Wang Ping'an and Di Renjie.

While walking, they called Ouyang Yi's name, but Ouyang Yi never answered.

The terrain was getting lower and lower. Although it was impossible to distinguish the direction, everyone felt it, as if they were walking towards the bottom of the lake! About seventy or eighty feet away, everyone came to a fork in the road, and saw the corridor in front, divided into two roads. The intersection was exactly the same, without any marks, and they didn't know which road to take!

Wang Ping'an turned around and asked, "Brother, which one should I go?"

Di Renjie took out the Feng Shui book from his arms and flipped it up. But after a long time of reading, he said bitterly: "There is no such thing in the book, and I don't know which way to go!"

"Then what do you think?" Wang Ping'an said again. He was still very confident in Di Renjie's ability to infer.

But Di Renjie's face turned even more bitter and said, "If you want me to infer... it's not the left, then it must be the right!"

Ouyang Li said angrily: "Pushing is like not pushing, nothing is cut off!"

As they were talking, they heard footsteps coming from the corridor on the left! Everyone shivered in an orderly manner, but when they heard carefully, the sound of boots with hard leather soles, they felt relieved!

I heard Ouyang Yi shout, "Brother, you guys are here too!"

Ouyang Li shouted: "Brother, are you okay? Why haven't you come back for so long? We are anxious. Even the master is coming down to find you together!"

The fire swayed, Ouyang Yi ran over and shouted, "Master, you have come down, there is nothing here, there is just too many forks, which makes me confused!"

Seeing his sweat all over, Wang Ping'an asked, "There is a fork in front of him?"

Ouyang Yi yelled and said, "There are so many forks that I'm so dizzy that I almost couldn't find the original way. If I hadn't heard you call me, I would have to turn inside at this time!"

Before Wang Ping'an could speak, Di Renjie shouted and said, "Can you hear us talking in the fork? That means that all these forks are connected!"
