I don't know how long it took, but only the rapidly rising stone walls flashed in front of my eyes, the rumbling sound of huge boulders lingered in my ears, or maybe it was a gazebo galloping down. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The resolute and dignified figure of the father, the surprised or calm side face of the elder brother, in this dim and small space, the light and shadow are crowded.

But this is no longer important, I am surrounded by countless questions and confusions, and I am clutching the stone platform at this time. A rapid dizziness with a slight feeling of nausea welled up from the lower abdomen, churning in the stomach.

It was a long time, and with these torments, the eternal shaking finally stopped.

"Yang'er, Cheng'er, come with me. Tonight, I will tell you all the secrets of the Ai family's century-old heritage. What you want to know, what you have doubts, what the Ai family has, and what you have experienced, will tell you everything you want. "My father walked down the steps of the pavilion, and his feet stepped on this ancient city buried deep underground, and the figure of the majestic Pang Bo and these unknown words.

"Uh, vomit......" I thought that I would feel better if this pavilion stopped falling, and I walked down the three stone steps slowly, and finally couldn't help but spit out a puddle of ascites.

"What's wrong, Qingcheng?" My brother didn't care about the vision, so he hurriedly ran over and patted me on the back a few times.

"Vomit, dizzy! "I tried all my strength, but my head was so dizzy that I only squeezed out one word."......

"Yang'er, tell me, which direction of my finger is east, west, south, or north?" When my father saw my embarrassed appearance, he suddenly asked.

The elder brother paused and said, "Back to my father, it should be ...... Let's go north! ”

"Cheng'er, you answer."

I didn't have the strength to pay attention, but when my father asked me again, I bothered myself, leaned against the wall and looked up at my father, and then bowed my head again.

"Southeast!" I said lightly.

"What? How could it be ......?" my brother was surprised when he heard my answer.

"Hahahaha......" my father burst out laughing when he heard this. Ride! Blame you for being too alert, from the moment you came down, your cautious mind has been secretly remembering the position below, the gazebo has turned a little, and your heart has also turned with it. Too many distractions and thoughts in your heart are also the real cause of your dizziness and vomiting. ”

When I heard this, I understood what my father meant, and when I pondered it, it was indeed as my father said. Unknown and panic tighten the heartstrings, in the process of descending the gazebo, every time there is a slight change, I will also correct my perception of the direction, and the strings will lose the willfulness when relaxing after a long time.

"Is that wrong?" I whispered an underestimate.

Slowly, my abdomen has become much better. For the first time, I raised my head and looked closely at this blessed cave.

In this stage-sized "cellar", the left and right walls are carefully repaired with huge stones, carved dragons and phoenixes. The gazebo behind him actually sank from the ground to this point.

And on the last side of the wall opposite the gazebo, a round disc lives alone on one wall.

Above the entire "cellar", an unknown giant beast head carved in black stone looked down on the room with a fierce look. No matter how you move, its white eyes and red eyes will always stare at you.

Even if there is only a little red light in the pupil, it is also the source of the light of the entire "cellar". Because it is by the light of this red dot that we can see everything in the house.

"Legend has it that there is a shallow cave bay in the eastern Hanhai Sea, and a kind of mussel grows in the bay that sheds bright red blood. It will eat the sharpest sand and gravel in the shallow bay, and in the process of containing sand and condensing beads, the sand and gravel will cut the flesh and blood, and the blood will be integrated into the white beads, achieving the "white beads and a little red" of the beast's pupils. The mussels lose their brilliance all day long, but this little bit of white will emit the most dazzling light, illuminating the entire shallow bay, which was called Chizhu Bay in ancient times. The father explained the origin of the beast's pupils in detail, but he also showed a lot of emotion.

"Father, what is this place? Why is there such a secret room in the underground of our Ai Mansion? ”

Just as I was looking at the beast pupils, my brother asked a question, but it was also a question that I hadn't had time to realize.

Father didn't rush to answer, but stared at the disc on the wall for a long time.

The disc is divided into three circles, inner, middle, and outer, with the exception of the innermost circle, which is motionless, while both the middle and outer circles rotate slowly.

"Legend has it that hundreds of years ago there was an ancient village, and the villagers kept a motto in the village. A child or grandchild should never leave his hometown, just to protect the inheritance of the village for generations. However, time passes, and the inheritance fades from generation to generation. In their generation, they no longer know what to protect, but they just live like this from generation to generation. Father faced the disc and did not move, as if he were speaking to the wall.

"Until one day, the mountain behind the village was washed out of a cave by the torrential rain. Twenty-three brave villagers walked down in groups with hoes and pine oil torches. Three full days passed, and only nine villagers of the previous two dozen or so people came out covered with scars, and after a few days, they secretly moved out of the village one after another, and no one knew where they had moved. ”

I casually asked, "Nine villagers...... This can't be the legend of Fuyuan Jiuding! What about the other villagers who went in? ”

My father, still staring at the disc, crossed my question and continued, "Dead, all dead...... The bodies of thirteen villagers disappeared in the dark cavern, and there was no news. ”

"Thirteen, only nine people came out, shouldn't there be fourteen people still inside?" My brother has been listening carefully, and he has also heard the flaws in his father's remarks.

"Because, there is another villager who is dying under the rubble. The pine oil of the torches had long since burned out, and it was pitch black all around, so I could only grope my way forward with my hands. This villager has a surname that you are familiar with - Ai. ”

"What, the surname is Ai ......"

"It won't be Ai Qingcheng's Ai!"

Hearing this, my brother and I were stunned...... I repeated my father's words over and over again in my head, but I couldn't accept it anyway.

"It was in this secret room that the ancestors of our Ai family experienced the most helpless darkness in their lives." The father stretched out his hands, gently pressed his palms against the disc in front of him, and then tossed them a few millimeters.

Immediately afterward, the tossed disc burst like a loose embankment of stones.

The sound of a boulder roaring came from the other side of the wall.

And the ground directly below the beast's head above his head slowly sank into the ground. Instead, a round platform slowly rose up. The three palm-sized disc grooves on the round table add a touch of mystery to this secret room.

At the same time, there was a louder and clearer rumbling sound from the wall behind him. By bisecting the longitudinal tangent of the disc, the wall is divided in two......

Through this slowly opening stone door, the brilliance outside the wall is dazzling.
