Chapter 6: The Underground Altar

Memories of the scenes echoed in his mind.

No, it won't!

Nothing will happen to the old man!

He Fang stood up from the chair violently, he remembered that the old man had a place where no one else was absolutely forbidden to enter since he was a child, including He Fang.

It was a utility room in the back hall.

There is nothing in it, just piles of all kinds of messy debris, and a lot of rat droppings, so it's not strange that people can't let people enter such a place.

But he remembered that once the old man had been in it for a full day.

Spending a day in a utility room full of rat droppings? With the old man's love of cleanliness, this incident can only be described as bizarre.

Where did he come to the utility room?

The clutter inside is still the same as before, and there is no change.

He began to move things out of it one by one, broken hoes, broken shovels, all kinds of farm tools, and straw, and there was even a faint smell of rancid smell inside, but he didn't care about these anymore, he was very patient, and he moved them one by one, and the speed was also very fast.

There's too much stuff inside, though.

It took more than half an hour for the utility room to be emptied.

The empty utility room was very dim, and the corners of the walls were covered with black grains, but nothing else.

But He Fang did not give up.

He began to bang and beat on the wall, not letting go of an inch, and for another twenty minutes, he knocked almost everywhere.

What's going on?

No?

Impossible, there must be something in it, and there is even a possibility that the old man saw that the village was in danger, so he hid inside.

With this belief, He Fang began to continue to search outside the utility room.

Windows, chairs, tables......

There is no mechanism at all.

Wait a minute.

The old man seems to have a habit every day to worship the ancestral archway.

"Could it be ......" He Fang quickly came to the back hall, touched the three archways, and turned around, and finally, his hand seemed to touch a raised thing behind the archway.

He didn't look closely.

Immediately turn around and go back to the utility room.

And on the floor of the originally empty utility room, there is already an opening at this moment, and it is pitch black, and only one person can barely be allowed to enter.

"Old man, are you in there, the rabbit is back!" He Fang shouted, and then, bending down, he slipped through the hole.

It seems to be a very narrow passage, which is hard with a shovel on all sides, and there is no cement, and after entering, there is an indescribable feeling.

If you have to describe it......

He thinks there is one word in the novel that can be described, and that is cave theft.

A thief hole that only one person can pass through.

He Fang climbed down the hole, I don't know how long he climbed, but his eyes gradually opened up, and then, a bright light began to appear inside.

Very faint.

But you can feel it, it's the fire.

"What the hell is the old man hiding in it?" He Fang gritted his teeth, and didn't care about anything else, so he sped up and crawled towards the location of the firelight.

Thankfully, there are no traps in the cave.

He Fang soon approached the firelight.

It is a small cave seven or eight meters wide and two meters high.

The digging was very rough, and it could be seen that all sides were slapped with shovels and other things.

And the light of the fire is an extremely old oil lamp lit in the middle of the small cave, which looks like the ever-bright lamp seen in the movie.

But that's not the most important thing.

On top of that, in front of the ever-bright lamp, there is also an altar.

Yes, an altar.

The altar is divided into three levels, the bottom layer is square, and the middle layer is round, all made of earth.

It seems to represent the round sky and the earth.

On the top floor of the altar are a pair of hands, carved out of stone, with only palms and no arms.

The palms of the two hands, the palms of the palms facing the sky, and in the palms of the two hands, there is also a stone the size of a fist.

Very ordinary stone.

It is oval-shaped, pitch black as ink, without any brilliance.

But it was placed right above the altar, carefully held by two palms, just like the ancient saying, the stars hold the moon!

"Why did the old man make an altar under the utility room?" He Fang had never heard the old man talk about any strange power since he was a child.

Even if he is sometimes entangled in a way, the old man mostly talks about some ancient history, such as: the prosperity and demise of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the contence of the sons of the Warring States, the destruction of the six kingdoms by Qin Shi Huang to unify the world, the conquest of the Xiongnu by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and so on.

Moreover, the talk is basically the official history, and there are very few wild histories, not to mention what ghosts and superstitions are added to it.

But now, he found an altar.

Why is this happening?

Who is the old man, and what is he hiding?

He Fang stood in front of the altar and subconsciously reached out to touch the black stone on the altar, but just as he was about to touch the black stone, he found that there was a note pressed under the everlasting lamp behind the altar.

"Huh?" He Fang immediately picked up the lantern, took out the note underneath, and blew the dust on the note.

The words inside are indeed the handwriting of the old man, and they are actually left for him?

"Bunny, if you can really find it, it means that you were born to be a ...... Don't try to come to me, the old man is a man who wants to do big things, you are useless bastard, you will only hold me back!"

Where is the "......".

"The stone on the altar is left for you, anyway, that thing was originally your missing father's, I have studied the old man for eighteen years, and I haven't studied any flowers, it is estimated that you can't study it even if you are a free cub, but you have to remember that if you lose your life, you can't lose this stone, and finally give you a word to the free cub, be an ordinary person!"

"Be an ordinary person?" He Fang saw the end, and his brows furrowed slightly.

The old man's letter did not leave any clues, but he was sure that the old man had known a long time ago that something might happen.

Because, the handwriting on the paper was obviously not written in the past two days.

The old man is missing......

Is it really going to do big things?

I'm not sure where the whole village is missing together, this thing is too weird, and it will definitely not be as easy as the old man's note said.

The world is different, the setting has changed, and although he doesn't know what will happen in the future, he doesn't want to be so ordinary.

Get stronger!

He didn't want to be as ordinary as the old man wanted.

On the contrary, he wants to become stronger, because only by becoming stronger can he know what big things the old man is going to do, and can he know whether the father who left him is alive or dead!

He Fang carefully put away the black stone, and then crawled out of the passage again, but just as he was recovering the passage, he heard a sound of footsteps outside the door.

Very light.

It's like the sound of feet stepping on grass.

But he clearly remembered that in the old man's yard, there was no grass at all except soil and stones?
