"Is one of these two your father?" Wang Yuan asked.

Liu Jia nodded and said, "My father's name is Liu Yue, sixteen years ago, he told me that he wanted to go to Yansheng Mountain to do something, and he has never come out since. ”

"But sixteen years later, what's the use of you finding him?" Wang Yuan said.

Liu Jia seemed a little sad and said: "Maybe it's out of guilt in my heart, my mother died after giving birth to me, I have lived in my grandmother's house since I was a child, and I rarely see my father." I remember him always busy, and sometimes I don't see him all year round. Some people in the village said that my father had gone crazy since my mother died, and he hid my mother's body so that no one could touch her, but I didn't believe it. When I was eight years old, my father came to my grandmother's house to see me, and I stayed there for a few days, and one night I was woken up by a burst of crying, and I heard my father and my grandmother talking through the door. I heard my father crying as if he was very sad, and kept saying things like he was going to resurrect my mother, and my grandmother was also crying, and she advised my father to wake up and let go of the past. Although I was young at the time, I also knew that people can't be resurrected after death, and from then on I also thought that my father was really crazy, and I began to be afraid of him, to be honest, I was a little disgusted with him, and I didn't even want to see this crazy person in my heart, and when he came to see me, I also began to avoid him. Liu Jia stopped at this point.

"And then?" Xiaoying's eyes were a little moist.

"When I saw my father for the last time in eighty-four years, he happily told me that he was going to a place called Yan Shengshan, and he and many people have been looking for the secret of immortality over the years, and now they know that two people have found this secret, and he has an elder brother named Liu Qi who can help him obtain this secret, and I still haven't forgotten his rare smiling face back then."

"Who are the two men your father was talking about?" Wang Yuan asked.

"Wang Chengqiu and Lin Lan." Liu Jia looked at Wang Yuan and said.

"Perhaps...... They were all burned to death by that fire...... Wang Yuan said.

"With this, do you still think that fire will be able to burn them? If you look at these five non-rotting bones, do you still think it's all that simple? Liu Jia said.

"Since you can find this place, why don't you report it to the state and let the state do an archaeological survey of this place?" Zhao Bin said.

"I want to find my father's body and then say, I'm afraid that if the state does a protective excavation, I won't be able to get in and out of here, and I won't be able to find my father." Liu Jia said.

"Since it's looking for longevity, will your father and Wang Yuan's parents not die?" Qi Zhuang asked.

"If he really didn't die, he should have gone to me, the so-called immortality technique is most likely just wishful thinking on their part here." Liu Jia said. "There are corpses everywhere here, and it is very likely that many years ago there was a terrible struggle for the immortality they were seeking."

"By the way, do you know the two locust trees?" Wang Yuan asked.

"Two trees...... Tree...... What does that mean, is it a code word? Liu Jia asked.

"Well, that's what I asked, this seems to be a strange group in our village, and it shouldn't have much to do with it." Wang Yuan didn't want her to know about the two locust trees, it seemed that when they were discussing the cause of death of those people just now, Liu Jia was not present.

"It's not clear." Liu Jia said.

"Have you been looking for your father all these years?" Wang Yuan asked.

"It's not, I'm just coming back when I'm free, I have my life and my job." Liu Jia said.

"How far have you walked through this underground space?"

"Actually, I feel like I'm only walking a small part, and almost every passage here forks and forks again, like an anthill. If you want to go all over here, I don't think you can do it for months. And I don't even know what this place was built for. Liu Jia said.

"What about the city down there, is it inhabited?" Wang Yuan asked.

When Liu Jia heard this, he said with a frightened look on his face: "To be honest, I haven't really entered it, that city is very big, it's unimaginable, every time I go out, I walk through its periphery." From above, it looks like a well-preserved ancient city, surrounded by tall walls, and it seems to have four huge gates, one in the east, one in the south, one in the south, one in the south. ”

Wang Yuan had a trace of doubt in his heart when he heard this, since this Liu Jia dared to enter here alone, and she didn't seem to be afraid of these dead corpses and snakes, then there was no reason why she didn't dare to enter that city. And she never found her father's body, which is most likely in that city. She didn't go in, probably out of fear, there must be a reason for that. And Liu Xingye also reminded them when he went to find the city, saying that it was very dangerous there and they must be careful, which shows that it seems that if you want to find the exit of the main gate, you must enter the city. But Liu Jia said that he could walk over from the periphery, so Liu Xingye's words seemed to be somewhat contradictory to Liu Jia's narrative, but if someone was lying here, then it could only be Liu Jia in front of her, what was she for? At this time, Wang Yuan suddenly remembered the road that Liu Jia pointed out to him before, if he hadn't kicked through the bottom of the lake, he would have died there, and now in retrospect, that road is almost impossible to pass, could she have deliberately wanted to get rid of herself? But if she wanted to kill herself, she didn't need to get herself out of the water, or did she want to know what we were here for?

"Wang Yuan, I think we should go, it's not clear what happened to my dad and Uncle Liu." Xiaoying said.

"Well, that's right." Wang Yuan said. "Aren't you going with us?" Wang Yuan looked at Liu Jia.

"No, I'm going to go somewhere else." Liu Jia said.

"Maybe we'll stop by the way." Wang Yuan said.

"You guys go first, I still have to plan a plan." Liu Jia said.

"Just go down the passage, right?"

"Hmm."

"Let's go." Wang Yuan said to them. "By the way, if you see Uncle Liu and them, help us report safety."

A few people began to look at the surrounding holes, and Wang Yuan found that there were four holes on one side, all of which were inclined planes leading downward, and there were some cylindrical platforms at each hole, which seemed to be used for standing. After several people waved goodbye to Liu Jia, they chose one and started to go down.

"Qi Zhuang, you were surprisingly quiet just now." Wang Yuan said.

"Wang Yuan, I think there's something wrong with that guy." Qi Zhuang whispered.

"Where did you see that?" Wang Yuan asked.

"Didn't you notice anything wrong with what she said from your conversation?" Qi Zhuang said. "Xiaoying, what kind of person do you feel from the story she told her about her father?"

"I think she's very good, I feel guilty in my heart to look for her father, and she also saved Wang Yuan and gave us food." Xiaoying said.

"But why didn't she come with us? She said that it was her first time in this cave, but she didn't seem to be interested in the five corpses on the ground, and I think she must have been here a long time ago, and she didn't want to take us out at all......," Qi Zhuang said.

"How could it be ......" Xiaoying didn't seem to believe Qi Zhuang's words.

"Qi Zhuang, when did you become so clever." Wang Yuan said.

"I'm just thinking about your conversation as an observer." Qi Zhuang pretended to be serious and said. "My name is Forma Strong......"

Then several people laughed, and the nerves of several people who were originally nervous were relaxed by Qi Zhuang's words.

"Actually, I feel a little weird...... Her biggest flaw was that she said about the underground city, and she said that he had never entered, but since she had searched in these passages many times without success, why didn't she go to that city? And she said that the entrance she came in could only go in and out, and that if we asked her about the exit, we always didn't get the answer we wanted, as if she was signaling that we must go to the city. Maybe it's safer for us not to go with her. Wang Yuan said.

"My strange thing is that we were surrounded by those broken bones, and if she came close to us, we should have heard the noise, why didn't we even notice that he was coming behind us?" Qi Zhuang said.

At this time, Zhao Bin suddenly stopped, and said with some trembling: "Wang Yuan, I don't know if I was overthinking, I suddenly remembered the two raised stone piers on both sides of the passage when we came in...... If you think about the rocks around the cave that I thought were used for grinding...... It's not like the kind of trap we see at the bottom of a square lake. ”

"I'll ...... Not good...... Let's go back! Fast!!! Wang Yuan shouted. Only then did he realize that those were not stone tools for grinding, but weights.

A few people had barely taken a few steps back when they felt the whole cave shake violently, like an earthquake, followed by a loud rumbling noise, and by the time they reached the entrance of the cave, a stone wall had already appeared.

"Damn, damn !!" Wang Yuan roared angrily.

"Why? Why would she do it! Xiaoying said.

"Looks like we're going all the way down from here." Qi Zhuang said.

"She is definitely familiar with the place and we are likely to ...... No, let's go down and take a look. Wang Yuan suddenly noticed that the violent shaking and the loud noises in the passage just now were not like those coming from this stone gate.

"Wang Yuan, look, it's cracked up." Xiaoying pointed to a black crack that appeared at the top of the passage.

"It must have been cracked just now, let's go quickly, it's not good to bury it here." After Wang Yuan finished speaking, he led them down with him.

According to Wang Yuan's expectations, this road should lead them to the city, and after walking for a few minutes with this thought, several people stopped, and they were stunned by the scene in front of them. The end of the passage leads to a circular pit, in which there are piles of shriveled corpses, the number should be in the dozens, and it seems to be the cause of the shaking just now, there has been a collapse around, some of the corpses have been smashed by falling stones, emitting a disgusting smell, the scene is extremely terrifying.

"Xiaoying, turn around and don't look." Wang Yuan stood in front of Xiao Ying, blocking her view, but Xiao Ying couldn't control the fear in her heart, she let out a hysterical scream, and then she tried to run back, but because it was uphill, she ran a few steps before falling to the ground, and then felt a wave of nausea in her stomach, and vomited all the little thing she had just eaten.

"It's okay, Xiaoying." Wang Yuan looked at Xiaoying's haggard appearance in front of him, and his heart began to feel a little uncomfortable.

"Wang Yuan, I want to go home, I want to see my parents......" Xiaoying cried.

"We will go out, we will definitely go out, believe me......" Wang Yuan helped Xiao Ying up, Xiao Ying hid behind Wang Yuan and held his arm tightly, not daring to look at the dead bodies.

"What should I do...... Looks like a dead end. Wang Yuan thought to himself.

At this time, Qi Zhuang and Zhao Bin were looking around the pit, and Qi Zhuang suddenly shouted excitedly at Wang Yuan: "Wang Yuan, great, this is not a dead end, we haven't been trapped here yet." Qi Zhuang pointed to a dark gap in the corner and said, "It seems that a hole has collapsed here, and I can feel as if there is a slight wind blowing." We shouldn't die, haha!! ”

"Really? Great, saved!! Wang Yuan shouted. Xiaoying, let's go! ”

The four of them came to the hole that Qi Zhuang found, and found that it was pitch black, not like it was artificially built, but as Qi Zhuang said, from the power, he could really vaguely feel that there was air flowing.

"Let's go inside, it smells too big here." Wang Yuan said.

"You wait here first, and I'll go in and explore the way." Qi Zhuang said.

"How can you probe in such darkness......" Wang Yuan said.

Qi Zhuang and Zhao Bin looked at each other and smiled, and Zhao Bin took out a flashlight from his bag.

"I'll ...... Isn't this Liu Jia's flashlight? Wang Yuan looked at the flashlight in their hands and remembered the flashlight that Liu Jia used when she showed her the way in front.

"In fact, when she kept refusing not to go with us, Qi Zhuang and I felt that she had a problem, and when you were chatting with her, I pretended to put the uneaten biscuits back, and I went out." Zhao Bin said.

"Zhao Bin, you still have this hand!" Wang Yuan was surprised when he heard Zhao Bin's words.

"It was Qi Zhuang who asked me to do it......" Zhao Bin said with a smile.

"I'm in, you guys wait outside." Qi Zhuang turned on the flashlight and entered the hole.
