The endless darkness around him, in the dark, Zhang Yu only felt that a chill was surging like a tide, quickly submerging him, he tried to open his mouth wide, tried to breathe hard, and the cool air entered his lungs, only to calm the fear in his heart a little.

"Xiao Zhang, Xiao Zhang. At this time, there was a sudden burst of shouting from the side, which resounded in my ears.

Zhang Yu's body shook suddenly, and he slowly turned his head, and saw Chen Zhi with an anxious look on his face, holding the cable, and shouting his name.

What's going on?

Zhang Yu's mind was full of confusion, and he just wanted to open his mouth to say something, but Chen Zhi on the other side had already untied the rope, rushed over, grabbed himself, and reprimanded loudly: "What do you kid think? Who knows what is going on below, you hit the evil spirit, why do you keep moving forward, I told you to ignore it!"

"You called me?" Zhang Yu asked with some hesitation.

Chen Zhi glanced at him, still resentful, and accused: "What's the matter, you hit the evil spirit?"

Zhang Yu swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty: "Brother Chen, just now...... Since I came down just now, I haven't seen you. ”

Chen Zhi glared at him angrily, and wanted to say something accusatory, but found that Zhang Yu's face was pale, and his mouth was a little trembling when he spoke, and his vest was cold for no reason, and he hesitated: "You...... Don't talk nonsense, you kid. ”

didn't answer, Zhang Yu only nodded slightly, but in Chen Zhi's eyes, this action was undoubtedly more convincing than any words.

For a moment, both of them fell silent, only the sound of each other's breathing and heartbeat was clearly distinguishable in the quiet underground.

Finally, Zhang Yu couldn't stand such an atmosphere, and only felt that after a while, it seemed that even the air in the cave had become extremely viscous.

Standing up, Zhang Yu didn't say a word, opened the toolbox, took out the high-power searchlight prepared in advance, and after installing the power supply, he directly turned on the switch.

Ding, the thick and bright pillar of light of the searchlight shone out suddenly, like a straight lamppost, instantly illuminating the surrounding area, and also bringing a trace of comfort to Zhang Yu's restless heart.

"It seems that the area of this cave is not small!" the two glanced at each other, and Chen Zhi sighed slightly.

Looking in the direction of the light, there seems to be some building hidden in the darkness ahead, but it is too far away, and the industrial lighting used by Rao is still a little overwhelmed.

"What should I do?" Chen Zhi's eyes flashed with a different kind of light, and he was a little hesitant.

"Hehe, it's all come to this, what are you afraid of. ”

Since Zhang Yu entered the cave, no matter whether the result of this trip is good or bad, it is estimated that he will no longer be able to gain a foothold in the company, since this is the case, there is no reason to give up halfway.

After Zhang Yu finished speaking, he picked up the searchlight and walked forward, and Chen Zhi behind him hesitated slightly, gritted his teeth, picked up the toolbox, and followed with the metal detector.

In the empty hole, the road is not as rugged as Zhang Yu imagined, the feet are on the ground, very thick, but the soil is not exposed to the sun all year round, a little soft, and the two of them walk up with different shades of footsteps, and it didn't take long for the two to come to an antique building.

Zhang Yu turned the searchlight vigorously with both hands, and the pillar of light shone out, dispelling the surrounding darkness, and there was a little light, and the two of them saw clearly that standing in front of them was an outer gate, or a fence gate, antique, and a sense of history came to their faces.

Although he knows a lot of historical knowledge, it is difficult for Zhang Yu to distinguish the specific dynastic background of the building based on this door alone, but one thing is certain, this building was at least before the Ming Dynasty, and the reason is very simple, because there is a couplet engraved on the left and right lintels, but Zhang Yu does not know any of the words on it, so he concluded that this thing is very old, and it is even likely to be left over from the Tang Dynasty.

The outer door is more than ten meters high, Zhang Yu struggled to hold the lamp, raised his neck, and could shine the light to the top of the doorpost, Chen Zhi took the searchlight when he saw this, and skillfully changed the near and far beams, saving Zhang Shuo a lot of effort.

After taking the toolbox, Zhang Yu took out all the lighting appliances he could find and opened them at one time, although the brightness was not as bright as the industrial lighting lamps in Chen Zhi's hands, but the advantage was that there were enough of them, the light was scattered, and after all of them were opened, they could see the surroundings more clearly.

Walking in less than two steps, Zhang Yu felt the difference between inside the door and outside the door, just walked all the way, stepping on the dirt floor, at this time Fang Fu entered, and there was a hard piece under his feet, obviously, the door was paved with floor tiles and bluestone.

Walking up a staircase, the two finally saw the building that had just been swept in the distance.

An old-style palace with a magnificent, huge scale and ancient shape stands in front of you.

Zhang Yu observed through the messy light shining in his hand that the palace was boxy, majestic and towering, the four corners of the eaves were raised outward, the curve of the main ridge and the end of the eaves was bright and bright, flowing and hooking, and the eaves ridge was crawling like a dragon and not a dragon, like a lion and a tiger.

Seeing this, Chen Zhi suddenly became a little excited, and he said incoherently: "Xiao Zhang, this time I must have earned it, you see this palace, it must have been for princes to live in the past, even if there are no valuable jewels and ancient jade in it, but hundreds of years of cultural relics must be indispensable!"

As he spoke, he carried a huge searchlight and walked inside excitedly.

A trace of doubt flashed in Zhang Yu's heart, Chen Zhi's words were right, such a chic and simple palace, the identity of the owner must be extraordinary, but the strange thing is that if they lived in those high-ranking officials and nobles in ancient times, their mansions would definitely be carved and painted, exquisite and gorgeous.

At present, although the shape of this hall beam is simple, it is far from being gorgeous and rich, and Zhang Yu observes here, brick by brick, outlining the bright image, revealing a solemn momentum in a board at a glance, this majestic spirit, obviously deliberately created, ordinary rich and noble people, who will have this move.

What's more, when the two of them came, they only found this ancient building, standing alone in this cave, if it was the dwelling of the ancients, there was no reason to spend a high price to enclose the land, but only build a living room?

While thinking about it, Chen Zhi couldn't hold it anymore and walked into the inner hall, but Zhang Yu couldn't stop him, so he had to follow in.

As soon as he stepped into the inner hall, a huge aura of solemnity swept towards him, breathtaking, and in an instant, Zhang Yu actually had a sense of fear that he just wanted to crawl on the ground and beg for mercy.

As soon as his knees were weak and his heart trembled, Zhang Yu almost knelt down, but the strict law was closed at the touch of a button, and before Zhang Yu could react, it disappeared without a trace.

Zhang Yu looked around blankly, but saw Chen Zhi sweating profusely, looking at the front of the hall with a frightened expression, trembling.

Looking along the line of sight, Zhang Yu found that there was a tall god case in the hall, on which was enshrined a statue of an ancient god in red clothes, with a horizontal hat and black beard, and a majestic face.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yu immediately understood the origin of this building.

This is not the residence of any dignitaries, but the ancients worshiped the god of Yinsi, the palace of the city god, because it is the god of incense offered by the ancients, so there is no other building nearby, only this palace is located, and it is precisely because it is the statue of the god of the city god that is worshipped, so the architectural style has a solemn atmosphere, which is used to express the majesty and righteousness of the city god.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu suddenly laughed a little, he walked all the way, cautiously, walking on thin ice, but in the end, he got a broken temple!

That's right, it's a ruined temple!

The people who come here to worship incense are the poor people living at the bottom of the society, a few hundred years ago, the City God Temple outside Chang'an City, what valuable things can be in it!

Zhang Yu laughed dumbly, sighed self-deprecatingly, waved his hand and said: "Brother Chen, I'm afraid we're working in vain, let's go back, such a broken temple, just a few bricks that are hundreds of years old, plus an old clay statue, how much is it worth?"

Saying that, he took the lead and walked out, but he didn't take two steps, and found that Chen Zhi was still stunned in place, motionless, Zhang Yu thought he was unwilling, so he persuaded: "Brother Chen, look at the point, since there is nothing, we don't have to take risks, go back and report this matter, maybe the government will give some rewards!"

After speaking, he pulled Chen Zhi, but Zhang Yu pulled it, Chen Zhi's body did not move, but the searchlight he was carrying fell down.

Zhang Yu was a little annoyed and said, "Brother Chen, why are you ......?"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Chen Zhi's eyes staring at the statue on the case, his expression was dull, like a clay figure.

Zhang Yu stretched out his hand and poked it, and asked tentatively, "Brother Chen, don't scare me, what's wrong with you?"

In an instant, countless possibilities flashed through Zhang Yu's mind, all kinds of messes, and thoughts about immortals, demons and monsters came one after another, and he couldn't help himself for a while.

At this time, Chen Zhi suddenly turned his head again, his movements were extremely stiff, and his unfocused eyes stared at Zhang Yu deeply, without saying a word.

Zhang Yu's hairs stood on end, his vest was covered with sweat, and he tried his best to calm his tone: "Brother Chen, you, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Zhi looked at Zhang Shuo for a long time, then suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the case.

Zhang Yu was puzzled, looked in the direction, and found that the place where the other party pointed was an incense candle that had been extinguished under the statue.

"What candle?" Zhang Yu asked tentatively, but Chen Zhi nodded and stretched out his hand again.

Zhang Yu was frightened in his heart, so he had no choice but to walk over at this time, slowly came to the side of the case, pointed to the candle, and asked Chen Zhi, "Take it away?"

Chen Zhi shook his head.

"Hand it to you?"

"Break?"

"Eaten?"

"Brother Chen, it's been a few hundred years of incense and candles, who knows which dynasty, you can't ask me to light it!"

Zhang Yuzheng said helplessly, but Chen Zhi's eyes were gloomy, and he glanced at him with deep meaning, and then nodded with difficulty.

Although his heart was furious, Zhang Yu still tried to calm himself down, and then he looked up at the statue of the god several feet high, and muttered a sentence in his mouth: "Unintentional fault, unintentional fault." ”

Then he took out a lighter, approached the incense candle, clicked the lighter, and ignited the lead of the incense candle.

A cluster of flames jumped out gently, and the incense candles made a slight crackling sound of wax oil, Zhang Yugang breathed a sigh of relief, and the next second he saw that the other two incense candles on the divine case also suddenly lit up, and the lead was automatically ignited, and at this moment, the three incense candles emitted a huge light, illuminating the entire inner hall.

"Alas!"

The inner hall, which was so quiet that it could be heard falling pins, suddenly sounded a sigh that seemed to be nothing, the tone was lonely, and the words were lonely, as if the perception of countless years was hidden in it.

Zhang Yu turned his head to look at the sound and found that the person who spoke was Chen Zhi, who was acting abnormally, at this time he was struggling and was struggling to walk towards the divine case, but before he could get closer, as soon as his body was reflected by the light of the incense candle, Chen Zhi's body trembled sharply, and bursts of light smoke emitted from his body, which slowly dissipated into the air.

It seemed that he was still unwilling, Chen Zhi still staggered closer, and when he finally came into contact with the divine case and stretched out his hand to hold the incense candle, he was burned by the open flame and suddenly retracted his hand.

"The Tao has been unified for a thousand years, but it is just a mirror!"

His tone was stiff, as if every syllable was choked from the depths of his throat, and as he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Zhang Yu quietly, his eyes were both expectant and helpless, and there seemed to be a hint of mockery.

After saying this, the brilliance in his eyes gradually disappeared and tended to calm down.

In an instant, Zhang Yu's heart was shocked, and when the other party said those words, thousands of thoughts exploded in his mind, and then the whole person's consciousness was empty, and a vague light and shadow jumped out of his body and shot into the idol on the case.

The two incense candles that were automatically lit on the case suddenly disappeared at this time, leaving only the one lit by Zhang Yu in the center, the flame jumped and fell, and the incense candles were lit and extinguished.
