"This is supposed to be a spacious underground cavern. Xiao Nan thought secretly.

The cave may have been formed by an underground river, but over time the water dried up, leaving only an empty cave.

"It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, I have to go back as soon as possible, so as not to worry my mother. Xiao Nan recognized his situation and immediately looked for a way to get out.

He fumbled and grabbed his own small shovel from the dirt. He looked at the light of the secret room high up, and with some scheming in his heart, he tapped along the stone wall.

Suddenly, he settled on the place and dug it up with a shovel. The walls are stony and covered with mud, making it easy to shovel.

Half an hour later, he clapped his little hands, reviewed his achievements, and said with a pleased smile: "Finally, there is no endless road, master, I will not die, and there will be a blessing in the future!"

This soft stone wall has been transformed into a ladder little by little by he used a small soil shovel to darken it.

The staircase is too soft for an adult to stand up, but it's more than enough for a three-year-old like him!

Xiao Nan clenched the small soil shovel that brought him good luck, used his hands and feet together, and happily climbed out of the cave. He looked back, and suddenly he thought about it.

The cellar is hidden in a secret chamber that connects to a natural underground cave. With a slight makeover......

Even if the enemy discovers the cellar, they will have to crack the mechanism of the secret room. Even if the secret chamber is discovered, it is difficult to imagine that there is a hidden underground cavern.

Isn't it an excellent escape route for such layers of interlocking and hiding from each other?

It is better to act than to move, and he immediately started work to renovate. A moment later, he took the torch and went to the cave again. By the light of the fire, he was finally able to see inside the cave.

Strange-shaped dissolved stones are lined up and down, and occasionally stagnant water drips from them.

Water droplets slide along the surface of the dissolved stone into the crevices of the earth, converging into the inexplicable depths. The rock walls on both sides are smooth and flat, and the reflection can be faintly reflected.

No, it's not a reflection.

The simple lines depict lifelike faces, dressed in sackcloth, bowing their heads, as if worshipping an unknown existence.

Figures lined up one after another, all facing the rock wall, all facing in one direction, as if a group were performing a grand ceremony.

It's not a reflection...... It's a stone carving!

It is an ancient, mysterious, unknown stone mural carved by an unknown ancient ethnic group along an underground cave.

To be precise, this cave is a route they took to hold their rituals. They worship and walk while recording their actions with stone carvings along the way.

"What a magical world!" Xiao Nan stroked the tactile stone carvings and couldn't help but admire.

One is to praise the secret that can be dug up by digging a secret room, and the other is to praise the magical group that actually holds a ritual underground.

"According to the experience of previous lives, ancient clans generally built altars in open and open air, or burned fires, danced and prayed, or slaughtered livestock for sacrifices, and it was unbelievable to hold ceremonies in the dark underground like this!"

Unconsciously, Xiao Nan watched along the direction of the mural, and walked out of about ten zhang to reach the end of this stone carving.

In the last place was a tall and thin figure, dressed in a wide robe, holding a handful of strange spiritual grass and spilling it into the sacrificial ding.

The figure's face was unrecognizable by the falling stones, and he was dressed in a silk robe, dotted with patterns on a dark background, like stars dotted with the night sky.

The strange spirit grass in his hand has leaves on both sides, standing in three points, as if it is dancing with its teeth and claws, and a circle of mist rises from it, and the stone carvings are blurred, as if there is a pair of eyes hidden, like the spirit of the grass and trees is roaring.

"I don't understand. Xiao Nan shook his head, not knowing the essentials, so he held the torch and continued his great cause of transformation.

"According to Julius Caesar, I have come, I have seen, I have conquered. In the future, this cave will be under my master's control! However, I have to take the time to see the source and end of the cave, find other entrances and exits, and leave a way back for myself. ”

Half an hour later, Xiao Nan finished rearranging the secret room and the dark cave, and climbed to the vent of the secret room, ready to cover it.

In order to prevent the secret room from being discovered, he did not connect the vent to the wine cellar, but used a special method to spend several days to open up to the mountain forest behind the bamboo courtyard, about fifty steps away from the bamboo courtyard, which can be described as well-intentioned.

Due to the emergence of underground karst caves, the presence of vents is actually dispensable. But in order to make the chamber more like a chamber, he decided to keep it, perhaps misleading the trackers at a critical moment.

He leaned over to the vent and prepared to cover it with bamboo planks and dirt. But a small voice suddenly came, which alerted him.

The effect of long-term cultivation of the Twenty-Four Pile Method has appeared, his ears and eyes are sensitive, his spiritual sense is strong, and he finds abnormalities at the first time.

Unknown sounds came from the vents.

He never expected the vents to be used as bugs. Although the other party didn't speak in a high voice, when he listened carefully, he immediately could distinguish clearly.

"Cousin, why did we enter the mountain early?" asked a crisp male voice.

"Stupid, this ...... Diagram is important and may involve ...... The Jewel of the One. I suspect that Yan Shaodian has bad intentions and can't let him follow all the time, so let's be careful. ”

It was a young girl, and her voice was gentle and crisp, like the call of a lark.

Xiao Nan immediately remembered the girl in white in the wrought iron workshop. The person who asked him just now must have been the thin young man with the short sword on his back who helped him pay.

"What is the relic?" the boy muttered dissatisfied.

"Cousin, there will be monsters in the mountains. We don't have the protection of Fifth Uncle Yan, and we may encounter danger at any time. With the cultivation of the two of us, I'm only afraid of ...... Let's think again, what relics can be more important than life. ”

Lu Feng ...... It doesn't really matter what the relics are. The girl was silent for a moment, and her tone was a little low, "It's just that my father has been sick in bed since the last time he came back from Yinquan. Wizard Bi Ming said that my father was seriously injured, I'm afraid...... Lives are short-lived. ”

"What, Elder Meng...... How could he be like this...... Lu Feng asked anxiously, "Cousin, what should I do then?"

"Rumors...... That one is good at cultivating a kind of spirit grass, called the ghost spirit grass. It is rumored that this grass comes from the netherworld, and can give birth to human flesh and bones, seize heaven and earth, and prolong people's lives. ”

The girl in white seemed to bite her lip and said firmly: "Lu Feng, this time for my father...... No matter what, I must get the Ghost Spirit Grass!"

"The ...... Who the hell is that? She even avoided mentioning her name. Xiao Nan couldn't help but show a puzzled expression, not understanding what they were talking about...... What is the picture?

"It's the ghost spirit grass, the rumors are so strange, I don't know if it's true or not. ”

"Cousin, this place is not suitable for a long time. We talk as we go. Lu Feng knew that the stakes were important, and he lowered his voice vigilantly. Then, the voices of the two faded away, weak and inaudible.

These things have nothing to do with him after all, Xiao Nan shook his head and was busy with his own affairs.

I thought this was the end, but suddenly a new conversation came from the vent.

"Fifth uncle, they ...... Did you go treasure hunting?" a dark voice asked abruptly.
