Chapter 70 Underground
"Is there no one at home?" Chen Duo said, leaning against the door to listen for any movement inside.
At this moment, she heard a click. She was startled and took a step back, then saw Xu Lai pushing the door in.
She was just surprised when Xu Lai pulled her in.
The door closed again and the room was filled with darkness.
"How did you open it? What were you going to do?" Chen Duo asked nervously in a low voice, his eyes rolling around and looking around, but the light was too dim and he could not see anything.
"There's no one at home, don't worry." Xu said.
Chen Duo sweated a little, but was still relieved. Could they be here to thieves?
"You're not saying that the entrance is here?" After her tense nerves relaxed a little, she thought of a possibility.
"Yes, you found it. Landlord, you are so awesome!" Xu said.
Is this a compliment? Is this a compliment?
But Chen Duo didn't feel happy at all when she heard it.
"How do I find it?" The room was pitch black and Chen Duo didn't even dare to take a step, for fear of stepping on something.
After a while, Xu Lai's voice came: "Find a place to sit for a while."
Chen Duo was very upset. It was already so late, and she still wanted to sit down. How could she be in the mood to sit in a place like this? But she soon felt something was wrong, because the guy's voice sounded a little far away from her.
She didn't dare to turn on the light, so she quickly took out her cell phone and turned on the screen. With the faint light, she could vaguely see some furniture and sofas in the dark room, but there was nothing special besides that. Xu Lai had already walked to the bottom of the stairs and was squatting there looking at something.
Chen Duo hurried over and asked: "How did you get here?"
Xu Lai looked up at her and said in confusion, "That's how you walked here, with two feet."
"Who asked you this?" Chen Duo was angry. "How can you see in such a dark place?"
"You're talking about this, because of Night Eyes." Xu said, and changed his position, drawing something on the ground with his fingers.
Chen Duo came over to see what he was doing. After watching for a long time, he couldn't figure out what it was, so he asked what Night Eyes was.
"A method to train the eyes so that you can see at night." Xu said.
"Can you see things clearly in the dark night without any light?" Chen Duo was surprised.
"Yeah, otherwise why would he be called Night Eyes." Xu said.
Chen Duo found it difficult to digest for a moment. She suddenly remembered that night when she went to Kang Lu's house. No wonder this guy could move freely in the room without turning on the lights.
"So all mages have night vision?" Chen Duo observed the surroundings for a long time with the dim light of his cell phone. When he found nothing unusual in the room, he felt a little relieved.
"That's not the case, but this is pretty basic stuff." Xu said.
After all, a mage has to deal with evil spirits and disasters, so he needs to go in and out at night or in dark places frequently. If he has not cultivated the night eye, he will be greatly restricted and may even lose his life.
Therefore, most sects have their own unique secret methods and experiences for refining the Night Eye, and each school is different.
Whether or not a mage has cultivated Night Vision is also a sign of whether he has moved beyond being a novice.
Take Gao Xiang and Sun Muyu for example. They had not yet developed their night vision, and they almost died in Xinye that day because they could not see.
Disciples like Wang Quan, Xu Yan, Wu Mian and others from the Tianshi Mansion have all started training their night vision since they entered the sect. So basically, disciples who are qualified to walk down the mountain will .
This also indirectly illustrates the gap between a small sect like Yuanmen and a top sect like Tianshifu.
After hearing what he said, Chen Duo was quite envious, and thought that it would be great if her Yin-Yang eyes could be replaced with night eyes.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Xu Lai bringing a bowl of water over. He dipped his finger in the water and drew a straight line on the ground, but he didn't finish it. Instead, he turned the pen and drew another line, with continuous turns, which looked extremely weird.
Although Chen Duo was curious, she did not disturb him at this time. She saw him dip the water again and continue writing. Soon, four runes with very complex structures appeared on the ground.
After Xu Lai finished painting, he stopped. Chen Duo waited nervously for a long time but didn't notice anything unusual.
Just as I was about to ask a question, I saw Xu Lai stand up, walk to the wall, and reach out to open a cabinet door.
Chen Duo was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that something was wrong. She had just carefully observed the room and found that there was no such cabinet on this wall!
Before he could finish his thought, the cabinet door had been opened by Xu Lai, and he felt a breeze rushing out of the cabinet.
"What's going on?" Chen Duo asked, leaning over and looking into the cabinet. It was pitch black.
"There's a ban here. You can only see the cabinet after it's removed." Xu said, moving closer to the cabinet and looking inside.
Chen Duo was surprised when she heard this, so she handed over the phone. She saw that there was a hole about half a meter in size under the cabinet, and there was a faint air flow underneath.
Looking more closely, it seems that there is an iron ladder underneath, and the fluorescent light of the mobile phone screen can just illuminate a small part of it.
"Landlord, do you want to go back first or go down together?" Xu Lai asked, turning around.
Chen Duo was a little conflicted: "Will I be of any use?" Although she was very curious and wanted to go down and take a look, she still would be bad if she became a burden.
"Of course. I'm counting on you, the landlord, to help me." Xu Lai said with a smile.
"Really?" Chen Duo was a little unconvinced. With her skills...
"Really, really. I'll go down first and you follow me." Xu said, and then he climbed down the ladder first.
Chen Duo didn't waste any words, took a breath, got into the cabinet, held the phone in his mouth, and climbed down the ladder. Looking down, he saw only darkness, and there was a faint dull airflow rising from under his feet.
With the help of the light from the mobile phone, I could see a circle around me. It was a deep hole with a diameter of about half a meter, going vertically downwards. The walls were made of cement and were gray.
"Climb slower." Xu Lai's voice came from below.
"Oh." Chen Duo agreed and counted in her mind, increasing the number by one every time she climbed down a step. When she was halfway up, she suddenly remembered that she was wearing a skirt today, climbing on that stuff, this was really...
I was so upset that I almost remembered the number wrong.
When she counted to more than seventy steps, she heard Xu Lai's voice saying, "We're here. Be careful where you step."
Sure enough, after climbing a few more steps, she stepped on solid ground. Looking up, she saw darkness in front of her and could not see anything.
"Can I turn on the cell phone light?" Chen Duo asked.
After hearing Xu say "go ahead", she turned on the front light of her phone and looked through the projected light. She saw that it seemed to be a tunnel of some kind, made of cement. The walls were very rough and the opening was not very large, just enough for a person to pass through by ducking down.
Seeing that Xu Lai had already gone in, she hurriedly followed him.
After walking for about a minute, we were still in the tunnel, and the air inside was polluted, making people feel uncomfortable.
"Where exactly is this place?" Chen Duo became more and more nervous as he walked, and called out to Xu Lai who was in front of him.
After a while, I heard him say, "Which direction do you think we are going?"
Chen Duo hadn't really noticed it before, so after thinking about it carefully, he said, "It seems to be heading... northwest?"
"Then where is it to the northwest?" Xu said.
Chen Duo pondered: "Are we entering Wenlan?"
"The landlord is so smart!" Xu Lai praised.
"Stop it!" Chen Duo pondered over it again in his mind. It seemed that this was really an entrance that led to the underground of Wenlan Middle School.
Who did this? This is quite a huge project!
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes today, she would not have believed that there was such a tunnel underground in Wenlan Middle School connecting to a house outside.
After a while, she heard Xu Lai say in front, "We're here." She took a few quick steps and saw Xu Lai standing in front of her, with his back to her, looking forward.
She came out of the tunnel, stood up and took a picture with her phone.
"What on earth is..." Chen Duo was so shocked by what he saw that he was speechless.
This is a fairly large space, about the size of the house in Zijinyuan, but the ceiling height is twice that of an ordinary room. There is an indescribable smell in the air, with a slight sour taste.
With the help of the light from the mobile phone, Chen Duo looked far ahead and saw some things hidden high and low in the darkness ahead, but he couldn't see clearly what they were.
Seeing Xu Lai coming forward, she hurriedly followed.
