The Legend of the Demon Hunter

"It's the mass grave." Furukawa answered without hesitation.

After hearing Gu Chuan's answer, Xia Shi and Lin Xuemiao both showed expressions of disgust and fear.

"Then let's leave here as soon as possible! It's so uncomfortable here." Xia Shi said.

"Okay." Xiao Zhu nodded.

But when the four turned around and prepared to leave, they found that the door they came in through had disappeared. Behind them was a complete wall without a door.

"Where is the door? We clearly came in from here just now!" Lin Xuemiao said in surprise.

Xia Shi walked to the wall and illuminated every corner of the wall with the light of new buds, but there was no sign of a door, as if they had not come in from here just now.

"Don't be nervous. There are too many strange things in this City of Eternal Night. We must calm down before we can think of ways to deal with them." At the critical moment, Xiao Zhu played the role of the backbone.

After hearing Xiao Zhu's words, Lin Xuemiao and Xia Shi also calmed down. They were no longer in a hurry to find an exit, but paid attention to the surrounding environment.

"Have you ever thought that if this place was just a simple mass grave, the buildings would not be preserved so intact?" Furukawa said.

"Yes!" After Gu Chuan's reminder, Xiao Zhu realized that the City of Eternal Night was full of broken walls and ruins, but this building was unique and well preserved.

Is this a coincidence?

"This is definitely not a coincidence!" Furukawa said with certainty: "There are two possibilities. One is that someone deliberately led us here. The second possibility is that there is a very important secret hidden here."

"Maybe both possibilities exist!" Lin Xuemiao said.

"In that case, let's take a look around first!" Xiao Zhu said. He took Xia Shi's hand, walked around the pile of corpses in front of them, and began to slowly explore along the wall of the building.

When Xia Shi became familiar with the environment here, most of the fear in her heart disappeared. She felt particularly safe following Xiao Zhu.

The hall was not large, and everyone quickly walked around it. On the inside of the hall, they found a secret door. Behind the secret door was a set of steps that extended to the ground.

"Let's go in and take a look!" Furukawa was the first to walk into the secret door.

Everyone followed Furukawa inside. Behind the door was a long corridor. There was no light source in the corridor. It was as dark as ink. The four people could not see anything in an instant.

Xia Shi cast a spell gently, and a bright moon appeared above the four people's heads, and the bright moonlight illuminated the place.

Completely different from the lobby outside, this corridor was very clean. There was not a single corpse to be seen, and even the stench of decay had disappeared.

But this does not mean that the corridor is smooth, on the contrary, the corridor is neither flat nor straight. Not only does it have various turns, but it also has ups and downs.

In a completely closed environment, four people walked along such an irregular corridor and soon lost their way.

They walked in the corridor for three hours but still didn't reach the end.

When the four people were getting dizzy, Furukawa suddenly stopped and said, "Everyone wait a moment."

"Chuan, did you find anything?" Lin Xue Miao asked when she realized that Gu Chuan was behind her.

Furukawa stroked his chin and said slowly, "Well, something is not right. I feel like we have been going in circles."

"Going in circles?" Hearing this, all four of them stopped. Xiao Zhu looked at Gu Chuan and asked, "Why do you think so?"

Furukawa pointed to a staircase behind him and said, "I counted these steps when I passed by. There are thirteen steps in total, and behind the steps is a ninety-degree turn. We must have been to this place before."

The light here was dim, and the corridors were built in a haphazard manner. In addition, the four people were afraid of the unknown, so they were on edge when exploring. They did not expect that Furukawa could be so observant and pay attention to the details of the steps and turns.

"But this alone cannot prove that we are just going around in circles, right?" Xiao Zhu said doubtfully.

"Yes, so I plan to leave something here. If we go around in circles here, we will definitely find it when we pass by here again." Furukawa said.

After saying this, Furukawa squatted on the ground, a white spiritual light appeared on his fingers, and then he drew a symbol on the ground.

Gu Chuan was proficient in formations, and the symbol he drew was a miniature formation. On the one hand, it was to mark this place, and on the other hand, it was to prevent others from copying it.

After doing all this, Furukawa stood up, walked to the front of the team, and took the lead.

After making this guess, everyone quickened their pace, and this time it only took them half an hour to reach the same staircase.

But there is no formation here!

Because of Furukawa's reminder, everyone observed the situation of this place very carefully. Whether it was the number of steps or turns, and even the condition of the stones paved on the ground, they all remembered them in mind.

The layout of this place is indeed exactly the same as the place where Guchuan left his mark, but the only thing missing is the formation left by Guchuan!

Just when everyone didn't know what to do, Furukawa touched his chin and fell into deep thought again.

"There are two possibilities." Gu Chuan said slowly: "The first possibility is that our mark has been erased. The second possibility is... we have encountered a ghost wall!"

"Ghost wall?" This term made Xiao Zhu feel a little creepy. Xiao Zhu had heard of this term when he was a child. It was in the myths told by the villagers. He didn't expect that he would actually encounter it today.

"But don't worry." Furukawa bent down and left a completely different symbol on the ground again.

"Let's keep going!" said Furukawa.

Another half hour passed, and the four people came to the same place again, but still did not see any marks on the ground.

But this time Furukawa didn't say anything. He left another mark that was completely different from the previous two and continued to move forward.

In this way, everyone walked in this cycle six times in a row, and each time they did not see any mark left by Guchuan, but Guchuan persevered and left a mark every time and continued to move forward, which made Xiao Zhu more and more confused.

"Guchuan, did you discover anything?" Xiao Zhu couldn't help but ask.

As soon as Xiao Zhu finished speaking, they walked to the same position for the seventh time, and there was still no mark.

After leaving a mark that was completely different from the previous six, Furukawa stood up and said, "Did you notice the name of this place?"

"Are you referring to the Buddha Realm? Or the City of Eternal Night?" Xiao Zhu asked.

"Futu Realm. The word Futu comes from the Buddhist Zen language, which means tower. According to the name of Futu Realm, there should be a tall tower here, but after we came to this place, Xue Miao also explored it. There is no tower outside except those broken walls and ruins." Guchuan said.

"You mean, the place where we are is actually that tower?" After hearing what Gu Chuan said, Xiao Zhu suddenly understood.

"But, we saw it when we came in. It's just a flat-roofed building, no more than five meters high. How can it be called a tower?" Xia Shi asked puzzledly.

Furukawa said confidently: "Don't forget that this is the world of Buddha. Don't judge it by common sense. Do you remember the roof of this building? It is a flat hexagon. Looking down from the air, it looks like a hexagonal square. Is it possible that it is actually the bottom of the tower?"

"Ah! I understand. You mean that this tower is actually upside down! The hexagon we see is the base of the tower, and the spire of the tower is underground." Xiao Zhu suddenly realized.

"That's right." Furukawa nodded. "I'm just guessing, but I know that Buddhist pagodas are usually built with nine floors. Let's keep going up until the ninth time, no, the tenth time we pass by here, and then see if there are any changes."

According to Furukawa's guess, the group continued to move forward. Two hours later, they passed the same place for the tenth time. This time, the first mark left by Furukawa appeared in their sight.

The symbol shone brightly, attracting everyone's attention.
