Chapter 277 The shadow walls in the Seventh Stage

He Danggui ran towards the bulging stuff on the ground and picked it up. With the help of the light of the sky, she found that it was an octagonal cedar box. The box was as large as a cattail leaf fan with words written on the lid. At that time, it was dim and unclear. He Danggui felt anxious, so she lit up Huo Zhe Zi (a tight roll of rough paper keeping in an airtight tube box, which could be carried around and was easy to rekindle once it was exposed into the air again). It did not take long before the sky turned bright. The gray sky at dawn had been gradually fulfilled with sunlight. Now, He Danggui could see the black corridor where she was in. The left and right walls even reflected people’s shadows. Upon an inspection, she found the shadows were like court ladies and eunuchs. She was alert at first, but then her alert turned into confusion. Those shadows were just colored reflections on the white walls, far from real people. Besides, they were moving with faint voices from the walls.
