The old man's back was really hunched, and the upper half of his body was about to bow to the ground. We couldn't see what he looked like at all.

I don't know why, but when the hunchbacked old man came up, I felt a strong sense of oppression, as if I couldn't breathe. As he walked towards us from the staircase step by step, I had no choice but to avoid the jade coffin. Step by step backwards, it seemed like the only way I could breathe a little easier.

Not only me, but Li Dakui, Zhou Rong, and Zhao Xiaotian are similar. The faces of the three of them were also very ugly, and they all slowly retreated like me.

Fortunately, the hunchbacked old man finally stopped when he walked to the jade coffin, and if he rushed towards us, we would be scared to death.

Because the old man was so thin, as if he were wearing a skeleton and a suit of clothes. It gives the illusion that there is actually a skeleton underneath his clothes.

The old man stood next to the jade coffin and looked carefully inside the jade coffin a few times, presumably he saw that we didn't touch the people in the jade coffin or something, he seemed to be very satisfied and nodded.

At this moment, he slowly turned around. Finally looked up at us.

When the hunchbacked old man just looked up. We were all stunned.

Because judging from the appearance of this old man, he is exactly the same as Ge Lao. It seems that there is no flesh on his body just now, but the skin and flesh on his face are very full, so we look very much like Ge Lao. Otherwise, if his face is full of wrinkles, we won't be able to see it.

When I saw him, I was shocked and disappointed.

I was shocked by how he looked so similar to Ge Lao, and disappointed that the person in front of me was not my father.

Originally, when I heard Zhou Rong say that the old man might be my father, I was really full of expectations for this old man. After all, combined with some of the deeds that Zhou Rong said about Xing Yuan, it is obvious that my father has been hiding here at least eight years ago, and the person Xing Yuan came in to find is also her master. It's my dad at the same time, and I wouldn't be too surprised if I met him here.

If only I could find him. I was able to ask a lot of things that we didn't know back then, but now that I find out that the old man who brought us here was not him, of course I would be disappointed.

The old man in front of him was dressed in a very old coarse cloth garment, which was supposed to be navy blue or black, but now it was washed a little white, and there were not many small holes in it.

Not only was his hair completely white, but his beard was also completely white, and even his eyebrows were completely white.

I've heard people say before that when people get old, they have gray hair first, and then gray beards. White eyebrows again...... It can be seen that the age of this old man must be not small, it is estimated that he is at least seventy or eighty years old.

Such an old man over seventy or eighty years old will appear in the depths of the earth, which makes anyone panic when they see it, the main thing is that judging from his previous performances, this old man is obviously not an ordinary old man. At least he must have been very familiar with the situation, as if he had lived here for a long time.

In addition, at this time, there are only two flashlights in total, one in my hand and one in Zhou Rong's hand, this flashlight has been used for a long time, and there is not much electricity for a long time, so the light shining out is not very strong.

In this dim light, deep underground, and facing such an old man of unknown origin, we are very bottomless in our hearts.

Just when several of us were frightened and stunned, the old man suddenly looked at us and laughed: "Hehehehe......"

His laughter was weird, and his smile was even weirder, and I felt a chill down my back when I saw it, and I wanted to turn around and run.

At this moment, Zhao Xiaotian, who was not afraid of death, said tremblingly: "Old man, are you a human or a ghost?" ”

"Hey, hey, hey......" The old man's laughter suddenly became a little eerie: "You see me like a human ...... Or like a ghost? "Low Yang Gongba.

After the old man finished speaking, he suddenly stomped his foot, and several of us were startled by him, and the flashlight shook everywhere for a while. Just when we came back to our senses and shone the flashlight on the old man again, the old man who was standing in front of us disappeared, and he seemed to have disappeared out of thin air......

"Gollum...... "We all swallowed dryly.

Especially Li Dakui and Zhou Rong, both of them should have been bolder than me and Zhao Xiaotian, but their faces are even uglier than me and Zhao Xiaotian.

At this moment, an old voice sounded from behind us: "Son, go back, there is nothing you want here......

Turning our heads, we saw that the hunchbacked old man was standing less than a meter behind us for some reason.

"......" Zhao Xiaotian exclaimed, his reaction was the fastest, and he rushed towards the staircase in one fell swoop.

And Zhou Rong and Li Dakui and I only reacted when Zhao Xiaotian rushed to the staircase.

After a few of us came back to our senses, we also rushed towards the staircase for the first time, but just when we ran to the staircase, Zhao Xiaotian suddenly pretended to be bold and said: "You, you should be the treasure keeper of the Ge family, right?" ”

"Hehehehe...... the old man smiled gloomily: "You know the people of my Ge family, do you know if a person named Ge Xiuyun is okay now?" ”

"Ge Xiuyun is Ge Lao!" I couldn't help but exclaim. I've been with Ge Lao for so long, so of course I know Ge Lao's name.

"May I ask the old man, who are you Ge Xiuyun?" Zhao Xiaotian asked.

"I'm his grandfather......" the old man said slowly, his voice was relatively small, and his tone was calmer, not so gloomy.

But as soon as his words fell, Zhou Rong, Li Dakui, and Zhao Xiaotian and I were all stupid, and everyone's faces were all pale without the slightest blood.

"Grandpa, you, you, are you a human or a ghost?" Zhao Xiaotian's voice was already crying. For me, his courage is relatively large, and he is scared like this, and my mood at the moment can be imagined.

Nima, you must know that Ge Lao is almost sixty this year, what is his grandfather's concept? I simply calculated in my heart, even if Ge Lao's grandfather gave birth to Ge Lao's father at the age of twenty, Ge Lao's father gave birth to Ge Lao at the age of twenty. Ge Lao's grandfather is also forty years older than Ge Lao, and Ge Lao is now nearly sixty years old, that is to say, this old man is at least ninety years old. If nothing else, he must be more than a hundred years old.

Old Grandpa Ge smiled slightly: "Hehehehe...... Non-human and non-ghost, child, let's go, your ancestors of the Lin, Zhou, Li, and Xing families came here sixty years ago, and told you not to come, why are you so troubled! I know that the Ge family will be wiped out thirty-six years ago, and the purple spirit treasure house is exhausted, I don't blame you, I just hope that you will not disturb my dream again, and let me fulfill the long-cherished wish of our Ge family ancestors. ”

Hearing the hunchbacked old man say this, we all looked at each other.

Fools can tell, if this old man hadn't fooled people, he seemed to be here when our grandfathers came here sixty years ago.

When I thought of this, I suddenly remembered that Zhao Xiaotian had mentioned something before, he said that Qin Zheng and they should be here for immortality.

In other words, it is very likely that my grandfather saw this old man when they came down, and then passed on this matter from my father's mouth, so Qin Zheng and they were so concerned about this matter.

Thinking about this, I seem to have figured out a lot of things at once.

Judging from the power and financial resources that Qin Zheng and Li Yao showed outside, they really shouldn't have come to this Treasure Pavilion just for money.

Therefore, I think Zhao Xiaotian said before that they are here for immortality, and this guess should be correct.

But how did Zhao Xiaotian know that they were immortal?

By the way, why is it just a few of us who happened to be here, and none of the others came?

Zhou Rong and Li Dakui and I are because our grandfathers and this old man had a little relationship before, but what about Zhao Xiaotian?

Now it is very obvious that several of us have been led here by the old man one by one, and without him leading the way, we will definitely be lost in the dense fog below. And Zhao Xiaotian should be like this, if the old man brought us here just to prove to us that there is no treasure here that we want, or just to condemn a few of us. So what did he bring Zhao Xiaotian here for?

Just when I was puzzled, Li Dakui suddenly said: "Grandpa, are you the master that my grandfather saw here sixty years ago?" ”

Hearing Li Dakui say this, I knew that my guess just now was right. This old man was here when my grandfather and the others came down.

"Masters don't dare to be! Hey, no name and no profit, no merit, no sound and no fruit, endless......" The old man shook his head, hunched back and slowly walked downstairs with his thin hands on his back: "Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law of the Tao, and the Tao is naturally ......"

After the old man said the next few inexplicable words, the person had disappeared from our sight.

As soon as he left, the scene returned to its previous quiet.

A few of us didn't speak for a long time at the scene, and finally Zhao Xiaotian was the first to speak: "How old do you say this old guy is?" ”

"Let's go quickly, don't disturb his old man anymore!" I said.

Some of the words that the old man said after a long sigh before, although I didn't quite understand what the previous sentence "no name and no profit, no merit, no sound and no fruit, endless" meant, but from the words behind him, I heard something he wanted to say.

I remember that the sentence "man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law of the Tao, and the Tao is the law of nature" I remember that it seems to come from "Lao Tzu", which roughly means that people live and work according to the earth and multiply; The earth alternates between cold and summer according to the heavens, and nourishes all things; Heaven operates and changes according to the great "Dao", arranging the time sequence; The great "Tao" is based on the nature of nature, and it is natural to become what it is. In the end, it's a word, everything goes naturally.

I think the old man seems to be telling us not to force things that don't belong to us, just let everything go naturally.

When I thought of this, I suddenly remembered what he said before: I know that the Ge family will be wiped out thirty-six years ago, and the Purple Spirit Treasury is exhausted, I don't blame you, I just hope you don't come to disturb my dreams again......

Obviously, the Purple Spirit Treasure House mentioned by the old man here is obviously the collective name of this Underground Treasure Pavilion, or the entire Underground Treasure Vault.

Judging from the meaning of his words, he seemed to have known that the Ge family had been wiped out thirty-six years ago, but he seemed to have known that the Purple Spirit Treasury was exhausted, so he didn't blame us, nor did he blame my dad for the unconscionable things they did to Lotus Mountain in order to win the Ge family's parchment scroll.

There is no doubt that he wanted to harm us, and that he must have done hundreds of ways to kill us after we came here, but he didn't, and he didn't avenge his descendants thirty-five years ago. Not only that, but he also repaid our grievances with virtue and showed us the way, so that we could come here and see that there was nothing we wanted. Just ask us to leave as soon as possible and not disturb him again.

Presumably, this should also be everything that he follows in his heart, and it goes with the flow

He seemed to know that everything that should happen would happen eventually, and it was not something he could change, so he just wanted to quietly complete the legacy of his ancestors of the Ge family here, and "symbolically" guard this purple spirit treasure house in his heart.

Although we were forced to come down this time, it can be said that it was not intentional at all. But when I heard what the old man said, I was still a little red-faced.

Human greed is sometimes really terrible and full of great destructive power.

I remember where I saw a passage before, which roughly meant: Nowadays, the times are progressing, and it seems that science and technology are advanced, and a thriving scene, but sooner or later, mankind will destroy itself because of it.

The main reason for all this is that human beings are too greedy, just in recent years, air pollution has become more and more serious, the rate of melting of two-stage glaciers has become faster and faster, there are frequent earthquakes in countless countries on the earth, droughts and floods, and I know that it is only a matter of time before human beings perish.

Of course, these are just my momentary feelings, and the Secretary-General of the United Nations can't control these things, and it's my business. Anyway, people all over the world now have a common mentality, at least those who are still alive now, and when they die, the earth will not be destroyed for the time being.

It was only at this time that I fully understood that Qin Zheng and the others must have heard my dad say that there was an old man who had lived for a long time, so they thought that there was some secret recipe for immortality or longevity, otherwise they would never have spent such a high price to find my dad.

If they're just for ordinary antiques and gold and silver treasures, I don't believe it at all.

Because with Li Yao and Qin Zheng's worth, they will definitely not care about these things.

You must know that those antiques obtained by extraordinary means cannot be sold for any price on the black market, and tomb robbery is still a felony, which is obviously not proportional to what they pay, they are not stupid, how can they do such a thing that does not outweigh the losses.

Looking back, it's actually quite ridiculous, so many people have been hollowing out their minds for decades and killing countless people, but in the end, it is a bamboo basket for nothing. It was also Qin Zheng and Li Yao who didn't come here, they would definitely die of anger on the spot when they came.

Now, what I can't figure out the most is, what is the relationship between my father and Xing Fei, and how credible is what Xing Fu said?

According to Xing Yu, my dad should have come down a long time ago, but why didn't he see him?

Is he dead?

Just as a few of us were about to go downstairs, when we passed by the jade coffin, several of us couldn't help but glance at Xing Fu in the jade coffin.

She was graceful and luxurious, and she was still lying there quietly, in fact, I thought about taking her out, but Zhou Rong said that she was highly poisonous, so I didn't mention it. Zhou Rong and Li Dakui didn't mention it, and we all went down the stairs with tacit understanding, and no one said anything.

When we went down the stairs, we were greeted by a thick fog.

It hurts us because we don't know which way to go.

At this moment, the back of the hunchbacked old man appeared again in the thick fog in front of us.

Of course, we knew that he was helping us guide us again, so we hurried after him.

Still the same as when we came in, the old man was walking slowly, and we were all trotting, but we still couldn't catch up with him.

Somewhat different from when we came in, this time we were four people together, so while following the old man forward, we had someone to talk to.

"Damn, what kind of footwork did you say the old man used, was it a big move or a Ling Bo micro step? Why can't we catch up with him when he walks? Zhao Xiaotian said.

"This should be a phantom array, that's why this illusion appears!" Zhou Rongdao.

"My father told me that my grandfather also mentioned this illusion array when they came to rob this tomb, saying that it would make people hallucinate......" Li Dakui also said.

"Do you think this old man will send us out?" Zhao Xiaotian asked again.

As soon as Zhao Xiaotian's words fell, the old man suddenly said slowly: "This place is opened once in sixty years, and even if you can get in at other times, you can't get out, you have to wait for the year of Yiwei to come......"

After the old man said this, he seemed to suddenly turn to the right side of the front, and then disappeared.

We hurried to catch up, but when we got there, it was still a thick fog.

"It's over, it's ...... lost," Zhao Xiaotian exclaimed.

"Maybe the exit is near us, let's look for it together, don't get separated." Zhou Rong hurriedly said.

Immediately afterward, the four of us began to look for it side by side, but after searching for a long time, we couldn't find an exit.

Later, as I walked, before I knew it, I felt that my head was getting heavier and heavier, and I didn't know when I fainted.

When I woke up again, I was awakened by the sound of gurgling water.

When I opened my eyes, I was still in a fog, but it wasn't as thick.

When I looked around, I saw that we were in a stone room the size of a basketball court. Since there was a dim flashlight everywhere around the stone chamber, I could see it more clearly.

It's just that this stone chamber is not like other stone chambers, because there is a three-meter square well in the middle of this stone chamber, and the gurgling sound of water came from the well, because the water in this well is overflowing. The water was flowing very well, and water from the well was flowing around the stone chamber.

But at the moment, I didn't have time to care about the well, because I saw Zhou Rong, Zhao Xiaotian, and Li Dakui lying on the ground next to me.

"Brother Rong, Master, Brother Zhao, wake up, wake up, wake up......," I exclaimed anxiously. Because at this time, I have already discovered that there are not only a few of us in this stone room, but also those mercenaries wearing camouflage uniforms brought by Li Jing. Li Jing: I've seen those people, of course I know.

The main thing is that the well is constantly turning out, and this stone chamber does not seem to have a door to escape, and if we don't find a way to do it, we will definitely drown here.

Fortunately, Zhou Rong and a few of them were quickly woken up by me, Zhao Xiaotian rubbed his eyes, and the first thing he said was: "What's the situation, it's not dawn yet, call a few ......"

The animal seemed to be asleep.

It was also Zhao Xiaotian's exclamation, and there were several roars around him in an instant: "Grass and mud horses, don't move......"

"Damn, I've finally found you......"

……

Immediately afterward, we saw four or five men rushing towards us with guns.

They came to us soon, and I thought they were Li Jing's people, so there might be a little room for negotiation. But when they pointed us at guns and squatted on the ground, I saw that these people were not Li Jing's people, but people led by Li Yao.

"Li Yao?" I exclaimed.

"Hmph, I didn't expect it, do you really think I'm just one person left? Hahahaha......" Li Yao laughed and said, "I have already bought them all at a price five times higher than Li Jing......"

Hearing Li Yao say this, I knew that Li Jing had probably been settled by him.

But at this moment, I suddenly heard Li Jing shouting loudly: "Li Yao, don't be too happy!" ”

"Hmph, here is called the heavens and the earth, and the earth is not spiritual, do you still have a chance to turn the tables?" Li Yao smiled very proudly.

I followed the sound to find Li Jing and found that there were two women leaning against the wall next to Li Jing, one was Yang Lili and the other was Zhang Yihan. Seeing that the two of them were okay, I finally felt a lot more at ease.

However, at this moment, Li Yao suddenly slapped me in the face, followed by a row, and slapped Zhao Xiaotian, Zhou Rong, and Li Dakui in turn: "Let's be honest, how to go up from this maze to the upper layers of the Treasure Pavilion?" ”

Obviously, listening to Li Yao's tone, they seemed to have been here since they entered the stone tower.

By the way, didn't we also appear here when we got lost and fainted on the first floor of the stone tower? Could it be that this is the first floor of the stone tower?

It must be so, otherwise Li Yao wouldn't have asked us this!

There's a reason I'm thinking that, because I've seen that the place we're in here is about the size of a basketball court, about the same size we'd seen outside the stone tower before. What we see now should be the true whole picture of the first floor of the stone tower.

The reason why we can see the whole picture now is because the old man removed the phantom array, so we can have a full view of such a large place.

And if you must have not turned out since entering the stone tower, the old man should not have shown them the way to the second floor.

Of course, a few of us didn't bother with Li Yao, and at this moment, the stone room where we were suddenly shook violently, as if an earthquake had occurred. Immediately afterwards, a column of water as thick as the mouth of the well erupted from the well.

This column of water rises up into the sky like a water dragon, which reminds me of the painting that Ge Lao gave me before he died, because the bottom of the well he painted is similar to what I saw at this time.

When I looked at the painting, my first impression was that it looked like a water dragon.

It's just that the picture I see at this moment is slightly different from what he painted, Ge Lao painted that this water dragon rushed out from the bottom of the well and rushed directly out of the well, but now this huge water column only rushed to the roof of the stone chamber and stopped.

The stone chamber was still shaking violently, and the water jets gushing out of the well were becoming more and more rapid, and the huge water jets rose into the sky and hit the roof of the stone chamber, which seemed to cause a chain reaction with the earthquake from the ground itself. As a result, the tremor became more and more intense, and it seemed as if the underground stone chamber could collapse at any time.

Since the floor of this stone chamber is more than 10 meters high from the roof, when the water jet sprays on the roof, the falling water rushes towards us like a waterfall falling from the sky.

The stone room as big as a basketball court instantly turned into an ocean, and as we got the water jet, it continued to splash, and in the blink of an eye, the water on the basketball court filled our waists.

Due to the rapid flow of water falling from the sky, a strong whirlpool formed in the stone chamber in an instant. Although the whirlpool was very urgent, I kept struggling inside, looking up, holding a flashlight everywhere, looking for Zhang Yihan and Yang Lili.

But because the light was very dim and the waterfall above them was full of mist, it was difficult to find them.

I knew it was useless to scream, because I couldn't hear it at all, and all I could hear now was the deafening sound of the waterfall.

Just then, I heard a familiar shout: "Kobayashi ......"

"Xiao Han ......" I finally couldn't help but shout loudly,

However, Zhang Yihan obviously didn't hear my voice, she kept shouting: "Xiaolin, Xiaolin......"

I hurriedly swam in the direction where Zhang Yihan's voice came from, Zhou Rong, Li Dakui, and Zhao Xiaotian saw me swimming that way, and they also followed me to swim that way.

At this moment, the waterfall overhead suddenly stopped, and the whirlpool in the stone chamber immediately stopped as there was no new water falling from the sky.

At the same time, the stone chamber stopped shaking, and the surroundings seemed to become much quieter.

When I looked up, everyone was stunned.

It turned out that it was not the water column of the well that stopped, but the water column that rose to the sky broke through the roof of the house and rushed directly to the ground.

Seeing such a scene, I immediately remembered that Zhou Rong said that sixty years ago, his grandmother found his grandfather in the well in the Guo family's yard. In other words, this is likely to be the time when this underground treasure field will be opened. If we want to get out, we can only use this column of water that rises to the sky......

Zhou Rong seemed to be thinking with me, and he suddenly shouted: "Follow me......"

I saw Zhou Rong screaming, and immediately rushed towards the water column of the central well.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Xiaotian also rushed over. Only Li Dakui and I didn't follow, and the two of us swam together towards Zhang Yihan and Yang Lili not far away.

At this moment, when Li Yao saw Zhou Rong and Zhao Xiaotian rushing towards the water column, he suddenly shouted: "Damn, how does this seem to be a passage out." Shoot me, don't let them out, I haven't gotten what I want, no one can go! ”

Obviously, Li Yao seemed to have heard my dad tell him what it was like to go out, so when he saw this column of water rising into the sky, of course he understood what was going on. If he didn't know this, Qin Zheng wouldn't have spent so much effort to acquire Guojiacun and Guojia's courtyard.

As soon as Li Yao's roar fell, those under his command began to sweep at me, Zhou Rong, Li Dakui and others with guns.

As soon as the gunshots rang out, Li Dakui and I reacted first to dive into the water. Fortunately, the water in the stone chamber was still flowing at this time, and there was still a lot of mist splashing around on the water column, so the visibility was not very high. In addition, the water is already one or two meters deep, and after we get into the water, they don't dare to shoot indiscriminately, after all, there are more than a dozen of them, and they are not in the same direction, they are afraid that they will sweep their own people.

I swam towards Zhang Yihan and Yang Lili's location according to my previous impressions, however, when I swam around them, I found that they had fallen into Li Yao's hands.

When I surfaced, I happened to see two of Li Yao's men pointing guns at the heads of Zhang Yihan and Yang Lili.

As soon as Li Dakui and I surfaced, several other people around Li Yao aimed the AK in their hands at us.

"Hmph, run, keep running, want to run, I didn't get what I wanted, no one can go!" Li Yao said coldly.

It was clear that he had gone mad. Recklessly, we don't want to die here with him. But it doesn't seem like he's trying to kill us, or he'd have given the order to shoot us. He must have wanted to leave us behind to accompany him in his search for treasure.

At this moment, I saw two people suddenly appear behind Li Yao, these were two people with daggers in their mouths.

Who else can these two people have besides Zhao Xiaotian and Zhou Rong.

I saw that as soon as the two of them poked their heads out, they reached out and picked up the dagger and inserted it into the back of the hearts of the two men who held Zhang Yihan and Yang Lili hostage.

"Ahh......h

But at the moment when they just turned around, Zhou Rong and Zhao Xiaotian slashed out together, and both daggers shot into their throats.

At the same time as the two daggers shot out, Zhou Rong and Zhao Xiaotian fished in the water, each holding an AK47 in their hands.

"Dada...... Da Da ...... "The two point shots took out the other two Li Yao's subordinates again.

In just a few seconds, Li Yao's six subordinates were leveled by Zhou Rong and Zhao Xiaotian.

This was not the end of the story, when they shot Li Yao's last two men, several of Li Yao's men from other positions also rushed towards us, but they only swam less than two meters before stopping.

Because at this moment, Zhao Xiaotian let out an earth-shattering roar: "Dog Ridi, who dares to come over!" ”

When Zhao Xiaotian's roar sounded, I saw that Li Yao had been held on the head by Zhao Xiaotian and Zhou Rong with an AK. Those people still have to wait to go out to find Li Yao to get the money, of course they don't want Li Yao to die.

"Xiao Lin, Da Kui, you two take them first, quickly, this fountain may not be sprayed for long, and we will all die here if it is late!" Zhou Rong screamed nervously, I had never seen him so flustered.

"Xiao Han, let's go, ......" Zhang Yihan's hand hurriedly rushed towards the water column that rose to the sky in the center.

"Be careful!" Li Dakui said a word to Zhou Rong and Zhao Xiaotian, and Yang Lili's hand followed me towards the middle.

We swam in the direction of the central water column, took a deep breath, and then prepared to rush into the water column.

But at this moment, I heard a dense burst of gunfire: "Da ......"

Turning my head, Zhou Rong and Zhao Xiaotian were facing each other with several of Li Yao's men, and immediately after, I planted the only seven or eight people standing at the scene into the water one by one.

Zhou Rong and Zhao Xiaotian were the last to be planted in the water, and when I saw them planting on their backs covered in blood towards the water, my heart was half cold.

"Brother Rong, Brother Zhao......" I yelled, and quickly let go of Zhang Yihan's hand and wanted to go back to save them. But at this moment, Li Dakui and Zhang Yihan pushed me hard into the water column, and my body was instantly swept into it by the water column that rose to the sky......
