Lugu Lake, located at the junction of Yanyuan County in Sichuan Province and Ninglang County in Yunnan Province, is under the jurisdiction of Sichuan and Yunnan.

Our target is Ana'o Island next to Lugu Lake, which is a pearl of Lugu Lake in Dazu Lake Bay. The small island is full of trees and onions, and the strange rocks on the island shore are exquisite.

We parked the car in Naxi Village, then hired someone to row a boat, and it took about ten minutes to get to Ana'o Island, and after arriving at Anna'o Island, we refused some local guides, and the four of us followed the shopkeeper towards the jungle.

After walking for about half an hour, the number of people gradually decreased, and then the shopkeeper said, "The destination is here, let's camp on the spot, and when there is no one at night at all, we will enter the Dongba Divine Kingdom." โ€

"Is this the destination?" I looked left and right, the mountains and forests around here are quite lush, it is very pristine, if it weren't for the shopkeeper who said that this is the address of the Dongba Divine Kingdom, I wouldn't have thought of looking for it here.

The shopkeeper nodded, and also looked left and right, "But be careful, the devil knows how many people were dispatched from the Eternal Night side for this plan." โ€

"Eternal Night?" I remembered the three Eternal Nights I had killed when I broke out before, my eyes narrowed slightly, and I said in a cold voice, "Will it delay our plan?" โ€

"I'm not sure, but judging by their performance so far, it seems that they want to interfere with our intentions, I heard that you killed three people of the eternal night before?" The shopkeeper turned his head to look at me.

I nodded, "They seem to want to take me, and they don't know what they want to do." โ€

"Take you?" The shopkeeper looked at me seriously, "Did you say what you were going to do with you?" โ€

I shook my head, but soon I remembered something, looked at the shopkeeper, and said, "You mean, the information of the Dongba Divine Kingdom is all from the hands of the Eternal Night?" โ€

The shopkeeper nodded, and said, "That's true." โ€

"That's easy to explain." I smiled and said, "I drank the wine of eternal life, which means that my physical body can be considered immortal. โ€

The shopkeeper was stunned, "You mean to say that they want to use you as a Gu person?" โ€

"There's no other explanation." I pursed my lips, "Maybe they won't come to stop us, at least not until we reach the destination we really want to reach, because our actions have also met their expectations in some sense, as long as we get to the destination and solve me, won't the act of transplanting memories in the eternal night be achieved?" โ€

"You mean, we're sending sheep into the tiger's mouth?" At this time, Chen Pojun suddenly interjected and said, "Then this is a little interesting." โ€

"If you want to eat us, you have to see if their teeth are good or not." At this time, the white fox suddenly snorted coldly, and his face was full of coldness.

"What about us?" The shopkeeper turned his head to look at the white fox and asked.

"The plan is still the same." The white fox closed his eyes.

At this time, the tent was also set up, and after Chen Pojun sprinkled a circle of insect repellent powder outside the tent, he also went into the tent to sleep, after all, he had been on the road all night.

By the time the four of us came out after resting, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and there were no human voices around except for the sound of insects squeaking.

"It's time to go." The shopkeeper turned his head to the white fox and said.

The white fox nodded, took out a piece of blue jade from his pocket, I guess it was blue dust jade, and then the white fox took out a compass from his bag and began to spin.

After about ten minutes, the white fox pointed to the north and said, "In that place." โ€

We nodded and walked in the direction of the white fox, and a few of us walked for about four or five minutes before we came to the front of a hill, and after seeing this hill, the white fox said, "It's here." โ€

Saying that, the white fox began to grope on the small hill, and soon, he really found a strangely shaped stone, there was a recess in the middle of the stone, and the white fox put the blue dust jade in his hand, which actually fitted perfectly.

The moment this blue dust jade was put in, I heard a small rumbling sound, and a pitch-black hole appeared on the hill, and I used a flashlight to shine under the hole, which was very deep, about twenty meters deep.

"Tie the ropes and go down one by one."

After the white fox gave the order, he directly tied the rope to a tree, and went down little by little, and when the white fox went down, I also grabbed the rope and slowly came down, and after coming down, I took a light with a light rod and found that there was actually a passage under the hole.

The passage was covered with moss, and it looked like it had been there for many years.

"Someone came in." The white fox looked at the moss and spoke.

At this time, Chen Pojun also came down and asked, "Why do you say that?" โ€

"Look at the moss on these stone walls, there are obvious signs of someone stepping on them." I glanced at Chen Pojun, I didn't expect him to even notice this kind of detail, I really don't know how he came over for so many years.

"I see, I didn't expect you kid to be quite smart, and you're almost half as good as me." Chen Pojun was not ashamed, but proud.

At this time, the shopkeeper also came down, and the white fox put the blue dust jade in another groove, twisted it, and the hole above was also closed.

A few of us walked towards the front.

This passage is quite small, and a few of us can only move forward with our waists forward, and after walking for a while, Chen Pojun suddenly said, "Something is wrong." โ€

"What's wrong?" I paused for a moment and asked.

"The shopkeeper is gone, I remember he walked behind us!" Chen Pojun took a flashlight and shone it back, not to mention, the shopkeeper was really gone.

I was also stunned for a moment, this is such a passage, why is the shopkeeper gone?

"Go back and look for it, there's something wrong with this place." The white fox spoke.

A group of us also turned back and walked, and when we came back to the entrance of the cave, we still didn't find the figure of the shopkeeper, as if the shopkeeper had disappeared inexplicably.

"What's going on? Don't you make a fuss? Chen Pojun was stunned for a moment and said.

"No, after we came down, someone came down again." The white fox flashlight turned around and said, "The rope we came down was cut short!" โ€

I saw a broken rope from the place where the white fox was shining, and immediately took a deep breath, "But there is only one passage, even if someone comes in, there is no place to hide." โ€

"Unless, there's another exit out of this passage." The white fox frowned.

We went back inside the passage again, this time very slowly, studying the stone wall next to the passage as we went, but we got back to where we had been, and we couldn't find another exit.

"What now?" Chen Pojun looked at the white fox, there was one less person as soon as he came in, and it is not an exaggeration to say that our action this time is unfavorable.

"Leave him alone." The white fox continued to walk forward.

I was stunned, although I felt that something was wrong in my heart, at least the shopkeeper was also our partner, and it was too inhuman to abandon him like this.

But we can't just waste our time here and do nothing.

So I followed the white fox and continued to walk forward.

After walking for a while, I was almost frightened and cried out, in front of the passage, I don't know when, there was actually a person standing!

Before we could react, the man turned and ran.

"Chase, this person may know something!" As he spoke, Chen Pojun ran directly past me and chased after the figure.

As soon as I wanted to run along, I was stopped by the white fox, who glanced at me and said, "It's enough to give him one person, whoever dies can't die!" โ€

I didn't expect that it was less than half an hour after I came in, and there were only two people left in a team, me and the white fox, I don't know why, I remembered the underground palace in Jiangji Village before, and it seemed that in the end, there were only two people left, me and the white fox.

The goal of the white fox is the same, to sacrifice me and resurrect that river.

But one thing is different, that is, last time I didn't do it voluntarily, so I ran away at the last moment, but this time, I volunteered.

So I took a deep breath and looked at the white fox, "Keep walking!" โ€

The two of us walked slowly to the front, and after walking for a while, Chen Pojun also came back, and said with a frustrated face, "I don't know what the hell that is, the speed is amazing, I haven't been able to catch up." โ€

"Be careful." The white fox spoke.

The three of us continued to walk forward, walked for a while, and came out of a fork in the road, one to the left and one to the right, I was stunned and asked the white fox how to go.

The white fox thought for a moment and said, "The tradition of the Naxi tribe is to be good on the left and on the right, since their purpose is to live forever, they can't set their base on the fierce gate, go to the left." โ€

I nodded, followed the white fox to the left, after walking for a while, suddenly a figure appeared in front of us, this time, this figure is relatively close to us, only ten meters away, our flashlight can see clearly.

When I saw it clearly, I was also stunned.

Where is this man, his body is covered with hair, except for his eyes and mouth, there is no place to show his skin, he looks like an ape-man, and when he sees us, this person also turns his head and runs away!

"I'll see where you're running this time!" Chen Pojun scolded and chased after him directly like a gust of wind.

"Something is wrong, I'll take a look, you wait here." The white fox opened his mouth and said a word, and followed Chen Pojun to chase after him, but he actually left me alone.

I was stunned, what is going on?

But nothing happened during the time they left, I waited for about ten minutes, and the two of them came back, the white fox's face was fine, and he couldn't see anything, but Chen Pojun's face was like eating shit, and his face was pale.

"What's going on?" I hurriedly asked.

"Don't talk about it, that thing, I think it should be a failed Gu man created by the Ancient Dongba Divine Kingdom, and it is not any hair at all, but a dark brown nematode, which is a kind of Gu worm, and lives by living on the human body and absorbing the nutrients on the human body." Chen Pojun said with a disgusted expression, "I wanted to grab his hair just now, but when I grabbed it, I grabbed a handful of insects, if it weren't for the insect repellent powder on my body, I would have died here now!" โ€

I noticed that Chen Pojun's hand was bleeding, and there was a pile of dense blood holes on it, which was probably bitten by that dark brown nematode.

Thinking of the fact that the person was full of bugs just now, I couldn't help but feel goosebumps coming out, which were densely spread all over the body, and how many bugs must have lived on the body.

"Everybody's got some insect repellent powder, it's a little weird." The white fox spoke.

Chen Pojun pursed his lips, took out the cloth bag from his arms with some pain, and sprinkled insect repellent powder on each of us, then he said, "I haven't got anything, most of my baby is out, and you have to compensate me when the white fox turns around." โ€

The white fox smiled coldly, probably not taking what Chen Pojun said seriously at all, or directly letting Chen Pojun's broken thoughts as a fart.

We walked on for a while, and we came to the front of a stone gate, and when we pushed the stone door open, there was a disgusting smell pouring out of it, and I was almost dizzy from the smell alone.

After a while, the pungent and disgusting smell slowly dissipated, and we shone our flashlights inside, and immediately several of us took a deep breath.

Inside this stone door, it is densely stacked with the dry bones of the baby, and it may be because of too much time, we have broken a lot of dry bones when we open the door.

"It seems that in order to study this immortal Gu man, those people from the Dongba Divine Kingdom have really sacrificed a lot, so many people." Chen Pojun gritted his teeth deadly, "Could it be that so many lives can't compare to the immortality of those few people?" โ€

The white fox smiled, "I have to say, it's really incomparable, this world is like this, the weak eat the strong, but fortunately, we are not weak." โ€

Chen Pojun pursed his lips, "I hate chatting with you cold-blooded animals the most, it's just a look of seeing through the red dust at every turn, this world should be like this, anyway, I hate this kind of practice, if I really find those beasts in the Dongba Divine Kingdom, I have to beat them all to death!" โ€

"You'll have a chance, haven't you seen that those failed Gu people can survive until now? I think those people in the Dongba Divine Kingdom should still be alive, but for some reason, they have fallen into a deep sleep. The white fox smiled coldly and spoke.

I pursed my lips and said, "This is the end of the road, this is the burial place of these babies, and there seems to be no way out of this room, is it the right way to go?" โ€

The white fox also frowned at this time, "No, this should be a trick, they want to use this place to trick us to the right." Take a closer look, there must have been people who had come in the eternal night before, and if there were any places that looked like they had been moved. โ€

When the white fox said this, I suddenly understood that this was indeed the case, since we couldn't find a way to continue going down, but the people of the eternal night do, as long as you follow the route of the group of people in the eternal night, you can definitely find a way to continue.

At this time, Chen Pojun suddenly shouted, "I seem to have found a place." โ€

"Where?" I hurriedly spoke.

"That candle holder, didn't you notice, a little crooked?" Chen Pojun pointed to a candlestick on the wall in the room, and when Chen Pojun said this, we realized a little, as Chen Pojun said, the candlestick was a little crooked.

The white fox walked into the room, and the moment we entered, a large pile of black insects crawled out from under the bones of the baby, and rushed out like a tide.

"It should be the smell of insect repellent powder that scares these ghosts, we stand still and don't move, they will be afraid of the smell of insect repellent powder to bypass us." Chen Pojun suddenly spoke.

I nodded, at this time it will be more dangerous to move, these bugs are afraid that we will definitely bypass us, but if we disturb them and make them think that we have a sense of aggression, they may pounce on us, so many bugs, a bite of one bug is enough to bite us and the bones are gone.

In this way, after about ten minutes of waiting, the insects in the room ran away, and when the insects were finished, I also found that the commotion had completely shattered the dry bones of those babies, and the floor of the whole room was covered with a layer of yellowish-white ash.

When I think about where all this stuff came from, I feel like throwing up.

At this time, the white fox had already walked to the position of the candlestick, stretched out his hand to break the candlestick, not to mention, it was really broken by him, and at the moment when the candlestick was broken, a stone door opened in the room!

"This is it, I didn't expect the people of this Dongba Divine Kingdom to be so perverted, now we are better, all we see are some dry bones, you must know that they were not rotten before, if you want to go back every day, you have to go through this corpse pile, and it is too frustrating." Chen Pojun said.

"People who want to pursue immortality are originally some crazy people, in their eyes there is only themselves, the so-called all living beings are just climbing the steps to immortality by themselves, will you be afraid of the steps under your feet?" The white fox asked rhetorically.

Chen Pojun was stunned, "I didn't expect you to have studied human nature, white fox, it's okay." โ€

The white fox didn't say anything to Chen Pojun, and walked directly outside the stone gate, I glanced at Chen Pojun and followed in.
