"It's so difficult to build such a narrow stone passageway. Li Qing shook his flashlight around, "There must be other routes." ”

Caiyun tugged at the corner of his clothes behind him and asked in a low voice, "You say... Will my dad be here?"

"Do you wish he was there, or did you wish he wasn't?"

After not hearing an answer for a long time, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Li Qing's mouth, and he turned around and patted Caiyun's little head gently.

At this moment, the person in front suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Xie Yuyan frowned slightly, and asked in a cold voice that was a little impatient.

"Miss Xie, come and take a look. The old gun said in a trembling voice beside him, "We seem to have arrived!"

"Oh? Xie Yuyan's cheeks did not show the expected surprise, but instead behaved extremely calmly, and then walked forward.

Li Qing glanced at Gu Yue lightly, and found that this woman didn't react either, as if she was excited enough in her heart.

"I'm going to check it out, too. Li Qing's voice fell, and he followed behind Xie Yuyan and walked to the front of the team.

"Miss Xie, look, there's a lot of space in front of you. The old gun said and shone a flashlight in front of him, and it was dark and he couldn't see anything clearly.

Xie Yuyan blinked his beautiful eyes, looked up, and saw that the stone path had come to an end, and what was connected to it was a dark and vast space, as if there was another world hidden underground.

After a moment of silence, Xie Yuyan stretched out a jade hand and waved it in mid-air: "Flare." ”

"Yes. Hu Feng responded, took the gun from the hands of his subordinates behind him, put the muzzle of the gun diagonally upward, and fired three flares in succession, reflecting the entire space in a miserable white.

By the light of the day, everyone's eyes scanned the entire space, and even a burst of gasping cold air sounded at the same time.

"It's so shocking..."Li Qing took a deep breath, almost unable to calm the turbulent waves in his heart.

More than 30 meters away from the location of everyone, there is a huge sinkhole with an area of seven or eight football fields and an oval shape as a whole!

"This is a miracle! a miracle!" the old gun trembled with excitement, "who would have thought that there would be such a place in the depths of this mountain!"

Almost everyone rushed forward, almost frantically yelling, when suddenly someone lay on the edge of the sinkhole and exclaimed: "Down here..."

"Immortal Ancient Building!"

"It's the Immortal Ancient Building!"

"We've found it, we've found the Immortal Ancient Building!"

"Look, right down here, it's the Immortal Ancient Building!"

One after another exclamations rang out, and Li Qing stared at the roof of the square attic that was revealed under the light of the flares, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

The light of the flares gradually weakened, and Hu Feng fired two more shots into the air. With the light that came on again, Li Qing walked forward quickly, and then half-knelt on the edge of the cliff and looked down. The sinkhole is more than 300 meters deep, and it is surrounded by bare cliffs, straight up and down, with almost no slope. Li Qing saw the remnants of some wooden stakes on the stone wall, presumably originally built with a plank road, but it was demolished after completion.

In the middle of the sinkhole, on top of a high platform made of stone, is a magnificent quaint attic. As if for the sake of stability, the lower three floors of the attic were made of stone like a fortress, and it was only on the fourth floor that a wooden structure finally appeared, extending to the roof covered with dark blue tiles. There seemed to be something decorative hanging under the cornices of the attic, and before Li Qing could see it clearly, the flare went out again.

Seeing this rumored Sifang Pavilion, Li Qing was quite shocked in his heart.

After a thousand years, it is inconceivable that the ancients were able to create a building of this scale and stand still today under the condition of extremely underdeveloped technology.

"There are only eight floors. Xie Yuyan stood beside Li Qing and said softly.

The body stiffened slightly, and Li Qing raised his head in amazement: "What?"

"It's not a nine-story quadrangular pavilion, this ancient building only has eight floors. Xie Yuyan repeated again, "Nine is missing one, it's too weird." ”

Li Qing was still incredulous: "Did you count wrong?

"How could it be wrong. Xie Yuyan sneered, turned around and walked back, "Rest in place, guard in shifts, and prepare to go down after four hours." ”

Getting up from the ground, Li Qing followed closely behind Xie Yuyan: "Could it be because the level was limited in ancient times, and I couldn't repair to the eighth floor?" Oh, by the way, doesn't the historical data also say that the Immortal Building has not been completed yet, and King Zhou Yu will die." ”

Xie Yuyan suddenly turned around and stared at Li Qing with a strange face: "Are you kidding me?"

Li Qing opened his mouth, but before he could speak, he heard Hu Feng whispering on the side: "Boss Xiao, the head of the family is very annoyed now, can you say something later?"

There seemed to be some kind of very bad premonition in his heart, but Li Qing couldn't grasp what it was, so he had to nod at the moment, turned around and went around to the other side to find Gu Yue.

Caiyun was mingling in the middle of the old gun's group, standing on the edge of the cliff and looking around. Li Qing was afraid that she would be in danger, so he snorted lightly and told her to be careful, and then walked to Gu Yue and sat down.

Gu Yue leaned quietly against the stone wall, her delicate cheeks seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, which was so cold that it made people's hearts frighten.

With a sigh of relief, Li Qing said softly: "Yuyan said that the ancient building of the Zhenfan is only eight floors. ”

"Hmm. Gu Yue replied softly.

A somewhat strange look appeared on his face, Li Qing turned his head and stared at Gu Yue's beautiful side face in a daze: "You don't seem to be interested in this at all?"

"What do you mean?"

Li Qing said in a low voice, "You've been sitting here?"

"And where do you want me to go?"

"The ancient building of the town that the Gu family has guarded for nearly a thousand years is right in front, don't you plan to take a look?"

"I have to watch it in the morning and evening, why rush it, I'm worried that I will get tired of seeing too much in the future. Gu Yue replied casually, "Thousands of years ago, no matter how delicately built and how strong the buildings were, what could they be? It happened at a certain time, in a specific place, and that's why you find it incredible. If the ancient building of the town fan appeared in a scenic area intertwined with tourists, would you still be shocked by it? It is really funny to look at the appearance of these people shouting and screaming..."

"You..."Li Qing hesitated for a while, "You seem to be very disdainful of here?"

The corners of her lips rose slightly, and Gu Yue asked rhetorically: "Shouldn't I be like this?" The ancestors of the Gu family have guarded things for nearly a thousand years, but it is just such a cold and lifeless ghost building, shouldn't I despise it!"

"Should, should. Li Qing sighed softly, and stood up with one hand on the stone wall, he felt that he had nothing to say to Gu Yue.

Was this a dream, and why did everyone seem to have changed since they entered here?

The rest of the people were scattered around, drinking water, eating, muttering and talking, mixed with thick excitement in their words, and the old gun's scolding voice was mixed with these almost frenzied conversations: "Go to sleep! Sleep for me! Do you think these cliffs of several hundred meters are easy to climb? If you are exhausted on the way, you can kill your monkey cubs!"

"What about your dog?" Li Qing stood behind Caiyun and asked softly, "It's so deep that it's difficult for even a person to go down, let alone a dog." ”

"Li Qing. Caiyun bit her thin lip, her pretty cheeks were hidden in the darkness, and they looked extremely blurry, "Do you think my father will be down there?"

"I don't know. ”

"Could it be that Daddy went down and left the rhubarb on it, so it ran back?"

"I don't know. Li Qing blinked, staring at the thick darkness in the middle of the sinkhole, "It's so quiet here, it's almost weird, I can't think clearly, let alone understand." ”

Caiyu quietly restrained her thoughts, turned her head and looked at Li Qing with a confused expression: "What's wrong with you?"

"I just don't feel right, Caiyun, when you get down, you must follow me closely, follow me every step of the way, do you understand?" Li Qing raised his hand and patted his forehead, and admonished in a deep voice.

"I know, Li Qing, you didn't answer my question just now. ”

"I answered, I don't know. Li Qing sat down on the spot, the ground was cold, but it was extremely dry, and the water from the underground river did not seem to be conveyed here.

After a pause, Li Qing spoke again: "But we can analyze it." ”

"Analysis?

Li Qing slapped his palm at the big yellow dog, let it run and play, and then said, "It can be determined that no one else has passed on this road since the stone road was sealed. So even if your father had been here, he must have chosen a different path. Or maybe there are other stone paths around here, and we don't notice it. Or there is another road that leads to the bottom of the pit. ”

"Of course, have you ever considered another scenario? Li Qing stared at Caiyun and spoke slowly, "They never arrived here, but died in another place. ”

Caiyun's delicate body trembled fiercely, and the whole person was stunned there, and there was no sound for a long time.

Li Qing smiled and waved his hand: "I just put forward a guess, let's talk about it casually, but you still have to be mentally prepared, maybe this trip is in vain." ”

"I..."

"Okay, don't think about it that much. You eat something, get some sleep, and get enough energy, and then you have to do hard work. Li Qing lightly glanced at the big yellow dog lying beside Caiyun, "As for this dog, when the time comes, I will slowly figure out a way, and if it really doesn't work, I will find a place to tie it up first." ”

After some explanation, Li Qing stood up again, walked to the edge of the cliff and lowered his head to stare at the dark abyss.
