When we were all at a loss, we suddenly heard my cousin say that there was a way, and everyone cheered up, and the room suddenly became quiet, and our attention was focused on my cousin.

I saw my cousin turn his head and say to Old Man Yuan: "I'm afraid I'm going to trouble Brother Yuan this time, if you want to enter Zhang Liangchen's space, I'm afraid you can only ask for help from Xuanheng's seniors, last time you said, that military general successfully entered Zhang Liangchen's space from the water inlet hole under the water, so if you want to rescue Professor Shan, you may need their help." ”

Old man Yuan lowered his head and pondered for a while, nodded and said: "This can be told to my Xuanheng seniors, because Zhang Liangchen is also a threat to them, this kind of initiative, although there is a certain amount of adventure, but for Xuanheng seniors, it is also necessary to do." ”

This is indeed a good method, in its current form, because only Xuan Heng and them can enter that space.

Because this matter was more urgent, at midnight that day, Old Man Yuan went to the crater, because almost every night in the middle of the night, Xuanheng and the others would come up and take a walk nearby.

I can't help but think that in the middle of the night, if I meet Xuanheng and them by chance, I will definitely be scared half to death, their special appearance is really like a lonely ghost drilled out.

And Old Man Yuan has been gone for decades, and he has long been accustomed to this, and except for Xuan Heng, all the people in it know Old Man Yuan, for them, Old Man Yuan is their "lifeline", because with Old Man Yuan's fresh urine, they can live, so they are very good to Old Man Yuan.

Although there are still some obstacles in oral communication, after a long time, some simple conversations are still no problem.

Sometimes, when Xuan Heng used to deliver urine, when he met other people in the crater, he would also say hello and chat casually, for Old Man Yuan, those people were like his old friends, and they were not terrible at all.

We wanted to go with him, but we were rejected by Old Man Yuan, and we can also understand that in fact, except for Old Man Yuan, those people were afraid to see and did not want to see other people, so Old Man Yuan could only go alone.

But no one slept, waiting for news from Old Man Yuan.

In the early autumn of the night, it was already cold, and we sat around Mr. Chen's house, waiting anxiously for the news brought back by Mr. Yuan under the dim light.

Old man Yuan has been gone for half an hour, but he still hasn't come back, but we haven't been too worried, because the crater is behind the courtyard, so close, there should be no problem, maybe Old Man Yuan talked to them more. During the day, Old Man Yuan was afraid that he would not be able to say clearly, so he wrote down the ins and outs of the matter.

But when a full hour passed, and we still didn't see Old Man Yuan come back, we were a little nervous, everyone wanted to go to the crater to have a look, but we felt that it was a bit inappropriate to go over like this. And we forgot to ask Old Man Yuan how long it took him to see Xuan Heng every time, so we didn't know if it was normal for Old Man Yuan to go for so long, so we decided to wait and see.

But after more than two hours, there was still no movement, all of us felt that something was wrong, and everyone discussed it a little, and prepared to go to the crater to have a look, afraid that in case of an accident happened to Old Man Yuan.

Everyone took out flashlights, brought weapons for self-defense, and was about to go out when they suddenly heard footsteps outside - it was Old Man Yuan who had returned.

We saw the door being pushed open with a bang, and in the dim light, we saw Old Man Yuan stumbling into the house and falling to the ground. Everyone was taken aback and hurriedly ran over to help him, and everyone asked in a loud voice, "Are you okay, what's wrong?" ”

Old man Yuan was helped up by us, panting heavily, and sat on the chair in shock, and everyone found that he was not injured, so they were slightly relieved.

"Brother Yuan, what's going on? Don't be in a hurry, speak slowly", the cousin poured a glass of water for Old Man Yuan and comforted him. Old man Yuan took the water handed over by the madman six, took a few sips, and then came over for a while before slowly recovering.

He let out a few more breaths, calmed down his feelings a little, and then said, "Oh no, my Xuanheng seniors have an accident." ”

After listening to Old Man Yuan's words, all of us were stunned, because we never imagined that Xuanheng and they would have an accident, because they were here, after all, they had lived for more than three hundred years, and all kinds of dangers should have been experienced, and even if Zhang Liangchen attacked them, the impact on them would not be too great, what accidents would they have?

I listened to Old Man Yuan continue: "Tonight, when I went to the side of the crater, I whistled a few times, this is our agreement, if there are a few of them nearby, hearing this kind of whistle, they will know that I am coming."

As I said before, we generally have a fixed meeting time of about two weeks, usually at night, I usually don't go, but sometimes there are exceptions, for example, in winter, there will be scientific and technological personnel, come to this area to investigate, they generally live in Brother Chen's place, in case they come, I will immediately notify the Xuanheng seniors in the night of the same day, so that they don't go out for a walk at midnight, so as not to be discovered by those scientific and technological personnel.

Because I heard Brother Chen say that the researchers of those astronomical institutes will come out at midnight and use the astrological positioning to make some measurements and so on, and in such unexpected cases, we will notify them in advance.

If no one shows up after I whistle, it means that they don't have anyone out for a walk, so how do I inform them?

Then I'm going to go into the crater, climb under a rock, and play a piccolo under the rock—there's a pangolin's nest, and that nest leads to the space where Xuanheng's predecessors were, so when they play the piccolo there, they can hear it in the space.

Xuanheng's predecessors, as well as Zhu Leting, the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, have changed their skin and physique dramatically, so they can hardly sleep, so they will definitely hear that kind of flute, and then they will come out to see me.

But what is certain is that from the outside, we can't open the entrance anyway, and the kind of entrance that enters the space, can only be opened from the inside.

According to Xuanheng's predecessors, it turned out that the special call of the 'monkey eagle' could open the entrance of the cave from the outside, but after they escaped inside, they completely locked the special secret door from the inside, so they could no longer open it from the outside.

And tonight, when I got to the crater, I whistled a few times, and after a while, there was no response, I waited a while, whistled a few more times, and there was still no response.

In the end, I couldn't help it, so I came to the bottom of the stone, took out the piccolo, and then blew under the stone, intermittently, for more than ten minutes, but there was still no movement, I had an ominous premonition, because in the past, I only needed to blow a little twice, and the hole would soon open, and then the Xuanheng seniors came out of it.

Why didn't you react for so long this time?

I was wondering when suddenly, hearing only a creaking sound, by the moonlight, I saw the hole slowly open. I suddenly put my mind at ease, feeling that the old Xuanheng seniors finally heard my flute come out.

But the strange thing is that although the hole is open, no one comes out!

I approached the entrance of the cave and looked inside, and there was a faint light inside, and the light was slightly blue, and I knew that the light should be from the stone in the space.

I shouted a few times at the entrance of the cave, but there was no response, and I screamed twice, but still no one came out of it, and the nerves that had been relaxed just now suddenly tensed up again.

It suddenly dawned on me that the situation tonight seemed to be very abnormal. Could it be that Xuanheng's seniors have an accident? I am very anxious in my heart, because for me, the safety of Xuanheng's predecessors is more important than my own life and death, our ancestors, have been guarded by several generations for two or three hundred years, if there is any accident during my guardianship, what face do I have to see the ancestors and ancestors?

So, in a hurry, I entered through the hole. It would be very dangerous for the average person to go into that hole, but I knew that it shouldn't be a problem for me to enter the cave for a short time, because every time before producing fresh urine, I would take that kind of decoction - you have all seen it, and that kind of decoction can temporarily resist the strange energy in the cave.

But this was my first time in the cave, and for decades, the most I had done was to look inside the hole. Once inside, I was completely stunned by what I was looking inside.

When I just got in, I didn't feel that there was much space inside, but just a narrow aisle, and that kind of aisle was a slope, with a step of steps, just enough for one person to go down, and the front was the kind of slightly blue light, after walking down about dozens of meters, the space in front of me suddenly opened up, and the light emitted by the stone was also surprisingly bright, illuminating the inside as if it was day.

What's even more shocking is that it's like entering another world, the space inside is very vast, and there are even plants and flowers, looking up, you can hardly see the top, and you can see dozens of meters away in the distance, and there may not be the end, but maybe just a corner, I never thought that the space below is so vast.

But I quickly came back to my senses and suddenly realized that in this space, why can't anyone see? I knew this wasn't a place to stay for long, so after trying to compose myself, I began to search the space, shouting as I searched.

What makes me strange is that if it's in a hole, or in a relatively enclosed space, the shouting will have a big echo, but when I shout in that space, there is no echo at all, it's exactly the same as shouting outside, don't you think it's weird?

What disappointed me was that I looked for a long time, but still didn't find a figure, and when I walked a long way inside, after turning a corner, suddenly a big river appeared in front of me, and next to the river, there was a glowing stone, I suddenly realized that it should be the dark river leading to Zhang Liangchen's space, and the military general entered Zhang Liangchen's space from the water inlet hole at the bottom of the river, just as I was about to go to the river, something unexpected happened-I don't know from nowhere, a terrible shout came: 'Run, Run, kid', I was slightly stunned, and then immediately realized that it was the voice of my Xuanheng senior, but he only shouted, and suddenly there was no sound, and suddenly I felt a strong fear, and I ran out.

Fortunately, my legs and feet were still nimble, but I could hear the rumbling of the river, as if something had come out of the water, and I was even more panicked, and when I climbed to the mouth of the cave panting, I found that the hole was slowly closing, and it had become very small, and I tried with all my strength to squeeze it out, and when I came out, the hole was completely closed again. “
