Chapter 416 Authentic
The tunnel in front of him was not as dark and narrow as Li Ling imagined.

On the contrary, this tunnel is made of bricks one by one, and the neat bricks make people feel comfortable.The tunnel is arched and about two meters high.The tunnel can easily accommodate three people in parallel, and the ground is clean, with only a little dirt.

Li Ling took a few glances and soon discovered that not far from the tunnel entrance where she was, there were three torches neatly placed on one side of the brick wall.

Li Ling could not help but smile.

Many things in this world will always be clean and well-equipped when the emperor uses them.This secret passage is no exception.

Before entering this secret passage, Li Ling had already taken a torch from Anping Houfu.She already had a torch in her hand, so she didn't need to use the torch placed in the tunnel at this time.Li Ling took out the flint from his body and lit the torch in his hand.

The firelight illuminated the dark yellow tunnel into an khaki color. Such a tunnel did not look eerie, but rather like an old house made of khaki bricks.

Li Ling took out the scroll on his body and unfolded it.

On the scroll, apart from the authentic tunnels in Jinlin City, there is another small picture, which is a map of secret tunnels drawn with thin black lines.

Under the light of the fire, Li Ling glanced slightly, then walked forward.

There was silence in the tunnel, and Li Ling walked forward slowly.

In the tunnel, most of the aisles are wide enough to accommodate three people, and occasionally there are one or two places that are wider, like a stone room, with stone tables, stone chairs, torches, and lamps with oil.

Li Ling saw a bend in this tunnel, and even a vent leading to nowhere, but he didn't see any branch roads.This is like a secret passage leading directly to the palace.

After walking almost a third of the way, Li Ling stopped.

On both sides are still clean and level aisles made of bricks.

But in the picture scroll in Li Ling's hand, here, she should turn around.

Li Ling opened the scroll and looked at it.

Looking at the aisle where the khaki-colored bricks are neatly piled up and there is no sign of a branch road, Li Ling is sure: "That's right, it's here."

Li Ling held the torch in one hand, and hit the neat brick wall with the other hand.

"boom!"

The brick wall collapsed, and piles of bricks collapsed to the front and back.

Li Ling took a few steps back to avoid the flying dust.

When everything calmed down, Li Ling held up the torch and shone into the brick wall.

There really is another secret passage here!
The secret passage here seems to be much narrower. Li Ling didn't see any bricks at first glance, but just dug a stone passage. If two people walk side by side, they will have to squeeze together.The ground was even more dusty and muddy, as if it had accumulated a thick layer.

Li Ling bent down and walked into this aisle.

The air is not good, and the sides of the aisle and the ground are very dirty, but fortunately, it is not so unbearable.Li Ling did not feel any physical discomfort.

Walking in the narrow aisle, sometimes Li Ling would encounter thick old tree roots coming down from the top of his head, sometimes some thin underground animals, and more often, as he walked, the tree roots in front of him The road suddenly narrowed, and Li Ling had to bend over to squeeze through.

"... Didn't encounter any shortness of breath?" Li Ling was slightly puzzled.

This tunnel has obviously been abandoned for a long time, logically speaking, there should be no oxygen.Could it be that some of these abandoned tunnels are the same as the tunnels used by Sima Zhen, with one or two connected to the outside world?
Although Li Ling is a heavenly powerhouse, if she is not able to breathe, she can endure much longer than ordinary people, but there is still a limit.If you don't breathe for too long, you won't be able to survive even on the Tianjie level.

After walking in the narrow and dirty tunnel for a quarter of an hour, Li Ling stopped again: "It's like exploring? Grave robbing?"

In this tunnel, Li Ling didn't even want to take a big breath, feeling that a slight movement would make his face ashen.When she came in, she only brought a torch, but she didn't wear a mask or anything like that.

Looking at the aisle that was only half the height of a person ahead, Li Ling sighed secretly.

She bent down, shrank her body and walked a few steps forward, and then found that the front was blocked by rocks.

"..." Seeing this tunnel, Li Ling shook his head.

Use your inner strength again and fight forward!

The accumulated boulders were crushed into powder. This time, Li Ling stayed where she was helplessly, and did not retreat—a layer of dust had already accumulated on her face, so she was not afraid of more.

Moving forward, the aisle ahead was still narrow, and from time to time, Li Ling would encounter several roads blocked by rocks.

After walking for a long time, I don't know how many times I got through the rock pile in front, but the aisle in front is different!

That's a way down.

45 degrees, no, there should be a tunnel going down at [-] degrees.

This aisle looks much cleaner, there is not much dust, and it is better than the previous aisle, barely enough for three people to walk.

Li Ling raised the torch downward.

This descending passage was very, very deep, and when the fire shone down, all that could be seen was darkness.

Li Ling took out the scroll and took a look at it.

That's right, the picture scroll also means going down.

Li Ling exhaled, tore off a piece of clean clothes from his body, wiped his face, and wiped off the dust on his face, at least he felt a little better.

Li Ling glanced at the half-burned torch and frowned.

Whether you look at it from the picture scroll or the tunnel down, the way down is very deep and very long.How long will her torch last?
Li Ling hesitated for a moment, but decided to continue walking.

There are no other people in this tunnel, and there is no danger. If she can't find her destination before the torches burn out, then she will fly back and come back with a few more torches.If it really doesn't work, she can walk back in the dark.The road has been opened by her, and coming back in the dark, at most, it is easier to get dirty, and there is no danger.

Li Ling walked down.

After walking a few steps, Li Ling realized that the downward path was not directly carved out of stones, but that she was stepping on bricks.

This is a road going down made of bricks.

After walking for a while, Li Ling found a small lamp on the road on the left.

Looking at the torch in his hand, Li Ling walked to the left and touched the lamp with the torch.

A small flame ignited.

Li Ling felt a little unbelievable.

If this tunnel was prepared by Lord Yuan, even if someone used it later, it has been abandoned for a long time, right?Is this lamp still working? !
Has anyone else found this aisle?Have you re-installed the lights?
Li Ling couldn't figure it out, so she put out the torch in her hand and pinned it to her waist in case of emergencies.Then, Li Ling held up the small lamp and continued to walk down.

Along the way, at almost every distance, Li Ling could see a lamp placed on the left.

Li Ling didn't light the lamp all the way there, she just walked straight down.

This time, it was really a long, long, long way.

It was so long that Li Ling was surprised.

Li Ling even didn't understand. How could Yuanjun 5000 years ago inexplicably build such a long secret tunnel for himself at the bottom of Jinlin City?
Even if Yuanjun wanted a secret tunnel and a secret room, he would never need such a long and deep tunnel.

Moreover, if you want to build a secret tunnel underneath, it should be very difficult if it is built so deep and long.

It is not uncommon to build secret passages under the palace.But to build such a long secret road, it will not be achieved overnight. Not only is it a waste of money, but also after a long time, many people may know about it—what kind of secret road is this!

The further down he went, the more doubtful Li Ling became.

She even began to think, is this tunnel not built by Yuan Jun at all?
"God" said that this scroll is about "the secret of Jinlin City"—could it be that this is actually an underground passage built by other people, and Yuan Jun is just a discoverer and a repairer?
If Yuan Jun only repaired an existing tunnel, the amount of work would be much less!

Li Ling kept walking down.

The tunnel down seems to have no end.

I don't know how long it took, but it was so long that Li Ling felt a little hungry in his belly, and the way ahead suddenly became clear!
In the front, it was finally no longer a tunnel, but a huge stone chamber.
