This thief hole breaks the previous rules, the top and bottom are round, it is an inverted funnel shape, and the edge of the thief hole is a lot of scratches similar to nails, at the edge of the scratches, there are actually some very shallow traces, these traces were later confirmed by me, it was written by a certain senior with a steel needle, as for what is written, in fact, I didn't understand, but many years later, I realized the truth.

"Is this senior still alive?" I felt the edge of the hole, but I felt very heavy in my heart.

Old man Yan's expression was solemn, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to be sure, he just said that everything is fate, whether he is alive or not, it doesn't matter anymore.

That's right, fifty years have passed, even if you are alive, you are still too old, what is there to regret.

Old man Yan asked Tian'er to come over, pointed to the thief cave and said to him, "Do you dare to go down?" ”

Tian'er stretched out his head and looked at it, measured the distance with his hand, and looked indifferent, "I dare." ”

Old man Yan nodded, "Then let's go." ”

"Let him be alone, or I'll follow." Baiyun put on his equipment and prepared to go down together, but I felt strange, why should I go down, Xia Jiling is behind the mountain, why should we waste time here.

Old man Yan stopped him and said to Tian'er: "This place is enough for one person, if you want to go to Xia Jiling, you must get one thing below,"

"What's that?"

Old man Yan smiled, "Fifty years ago, the seven of them wanted to go to Xia Jiling, but they came back without even touching the door, and when they came back, they lost their troops and lost their generals, do you know why?" ”

"Why?" I spoke with Bai Yun and Tian'er.

Old man Yan looked at me, then at Tian'er, and said, "Feng Yu." ”

"What's that? The feathers of the phoenix? Tian'er asked innocently.

I said, "Of course not, not to mention whether this phoenix really exists, or if it does, it is not easy to pluck a feather from it." ”

Old man Yan looked at me with a smile, seemed to have some appreciation, and said, "In the end, it is still the people of the Xiao family who understand the stakes, and this phoenix feather is indeed not a phoenix feather, but a token." ”

Tian'er jumped off the thief hole without saying a word, I thought it would take a long time to have results, but I didn't expect that, just a few minutes, before dawn, Tian'er had already crawled out, I saw that his whole body was not damaged, and it didn't seem like he had encountered any accidents, so he was immediately relieved.

"So fast?"

Tian'er shook a red stone in his hand, "Is it this?" ”

Old man Yan took it and looked at it repeatedly, and his hands trembled a little, "It's this, it's this." ”

Bai Yun suddenly understood something, and asked, "Elder Yan, those ants just now, could it be you?"

Yan Lao smiled and said nothing, but I understood, just thinking of Zhang Yang's tragic death, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, but I felt strange, Zhang Yang was so smart, he was definitely not a person who was easily deceived into a trap, even if he encountered danger, his skills would make him retreat, and he would not die.

Elder Yan seemed to see through my thoughts, and he patted me on the shoulder, his eyes revealing a kind of mystery, as if he was conveying some message.

"Let's go, it's dawn and those little things will be back,"

The little things in his mouth refer to those ants, and every time I think of this, I feel like I'm being pricked in the heart.

When they returned to the courtyard, the ants were still there, but the fourth brother was gone.

Tian'er saw that they were gone, and immediately panicked, this is like stepping on ants to go over to see, Old Man Yan immediately stopped him, saying that these ants are a kind of man-eating ants, and they will swarm when they see flesh and blood, and if you go over now, it is equivalent to sending them as food.

I listened on the sidelines, the white clouds were also very quiet, after a while, the sky was bright, as soon as the sun came out, these ants disappeared without a trace in an instant, Tian'er saw that the ants were gone, so he immediately rushed over, but the room opposite was empty, only a note was placed on the kang table, which read: "We set off Xia Jiling, waiting for you on the way." ”

Tian'er sat on the edge of the kang in a daze, the note was blown to the ground by the wind, and it just fell at my feet.

I sat across from him and asked, "Oh my God, it's actually a good thing that they don't wait for you." ”

Tian'er glanced at me with hatred, "Why?" If you hadn't stopped me, they wouldn't have left me alone. ”

Bai Yun smiled, picked up his note, and looked at it, "Do you think they care about you very much?" ”

Tian'er paused for a moment, suddenly stood up, and waited for us with some anger, Bai Yun was very calm, "You are okay, twenty years old, do you know what it means to be unpredictable, do you know what it means to use?" ”

Tian'er immediately stopped doing it, "I don't need you to teach me this, they are my boss, I have followed them since I was a child, you won't understand." ”

I sat on the side, looked at him coldly, and said to myself that it was almost time, and it was time to add some ingredients.

"Yan Tian, you keep saying that they are your boss and the one who watched you grow up, so let me ask you, who is the person with a baseball cap? Do you know his details? And who are you, who are your parents, who is your home? ”

Tian'er was a little stunned, I knew that I hit the doubts in his heart, a person just knows who is around him, what is called is not enough, even if the people around him hide from him, do not tell him, but as his mind matures, he will understand these things, will think of these.

Bai Yun saw that he didn't speak, struck while the iron was hot, and said: "Fifty years ago, seven people came here together, their goal was Xia Jiling, but they walked around and died four, but they didn't even find the door, and finally had to go back the same way, in order not to leak the secret, they killed a young man surnamed Yan at that time, but in order to hide people's eyes, they decided to let one of them pretend to be this young man surnamed Yan to guard here and keep this secret. ”

Old man Yan walked in from outside the door, he walked silently, walked in and sat on a chair, looked at Tian'er, nodded, and said: "The people of the Xiao family can always be the first to see through people's hearts, you are right, I am indeed not really Yan Fengtian, my surname is Zhang, and I am the uncle of the ghost hand Zhang Mosheng." ”

I looked at him, and I couldn't tell the feeling in my heart, was it shocked? Isn't it counted, in the past year or so, I have experienced less things? Are there fewer shocking things? So, from the first time I saw this old man Yan, I knew that he was not simple, a village had been abandoned for so long, and he was a lonely old man living here, why?

It's just that what I guessed reminded me of everything that had happened, Zhang Mosheng, this person seems to have become an indelible shadow in my life, is this person dead or alive now, and where is he? (To be continued.) )
