The stuffy oil bottle told Zhang Haike that the entire area under this strange place was the ruins of the ancient city of Sizhou, and at least four layers were buried under their feet, and they were only on the first layer. This ancient city, the Zhang family was in operation thirty years ago, after a flood in the Kangxi period, the ancient city was buried in the silt and disappeared directly, and most of the finances were not cleaned up, so there are a lot of good things in the silt.

The ancient city of Sizhou was founded in the Sui Dynasty 1,500 years ago, this generation of the Yellow River flooded year after year, and then countless old city foundations fell, buried in the new city layer by layer I don't know how many layers were stacked, after the earthquake several layers of the city up and down staggered, the underground seems to become a labyrinth of silt and ruins piled up. The flooding of the Yellow River has occurred more than 10,000 times in the past 500 years, and each time a lot of money has been fixed in the silt, which is simply a gold rush for tomb robbers. In the ruins, they can return with a full load as long as they explore a distance of a few hundred meters inside.

And what the stuffy oil bottle wants for itself is in the deepest place.

"You don't need help?" Zhang Haike asked after the stuffy oil bottle finished speaking.

"You can't help me. "You don't know everything here, you take your things and go back quickly, otherwise, the danger will not only come from here, let the Zhang family know that you are here, and you will not end well." ”

Zhang Haike looked at each other a few times, and said with a stuffy oil bottle: "I didn't want to say these words, I wanted to wait for you to suffer a setback, but you are too persistent and shrewd, and you really succeeded." Now, what needs to be said is said, believe it or not. ”

As he spoke, he jumped into the sludge in a few steps. Flipped it down.

A few people watched a few bubbles come out of the mud, fluttered a few times, and the stuffy oil bottle disappeared, and looked at each other again.

"How?" said one of them, "is this kid telling the truth?"

"It doesn't really matter if it's true or not, it's just that if we listen to him, even if we lose to this little rabbit, we're already shameless enough, I can't swallow this breath, why listen to him?" said another.

There was silence again, and one of them cursed, packed up his equipment, and jumped down suddenly.

Zhang Haike watched them go down one by one, and sighed in his heart, a particularly bad feeling came up, but he still jumped into the mud with them and dived down.

The feeling of diving in the silt is weird, Zhang Haike did not describe much, he only said that he held his breath for three minutes, and then grabbed the rope and led him to the edge of the road, he grabbed the rope with one hand and touched the edge of the road all the way forward, and when the road reached the top, he was floating up to the top and found that it was a wellhead, the well was full of silt, and there was a pebble paved ground outside, and several mud monkeys were all lying on the ground panting.

It was like a family's yard, apparently sunk into the ground into a cave, but the bonsai, rockery, and pebble ground remained.

The torches had been lit, and if you didn't judge, you would think that it was a very small stone hall, and that the flood had washed away two houses, and that the outer walls had collapsed over the courtyard, and that the outer walls, which were now the ceilings, had slanted. Zhang Haike wiped the black mud off his face, and saw that except for a few of them, he didn't see the stuffy oil bottle.

"What about the kid?"

One of them pointed to the side, and saw a mud footprint on the ground, leading into the darkness that the torches could not illuminate. Zhang Haike wanted to follow immediately, but was stopped: "That kid told us not to follow him, otherwise it will be very dangerous." He said that only he could walk that way. ”

Zhang Haike was impatient, and said in his heart that this kid really didn't want to die, he didn't even want help, this is the performance of a child, he said: "After all, he is a brother of the same clan, no matter what his purpose is, we can't let him die." ”

Zhang Haike followed the mud footprints, and a few people went all the way over, and found that the corner of the wall over there was still a hole, leading to another gap.

Zhang Haike said that the ancient city was completely buried by silt, and in some places the silt has completely turned into mud after hundreds of years, and some still remain viscous, and only air is stored in many large and closed ancient architectural remains. In the early stage of the Zhang family's exploration, they had already established a passage between the routes that could be traveled, and hid ropes in the mud, which could be touched as long as they entered the mud, so as to reach another room before suffocation. Some of the rooms were too far apart, and the predecessors used the method of digging holes to advance, in short, because of the complex geological conditions in the ancient city, it became a system composed of holes, ropes under the silt, and various passages.

In the beginning, the predecessors of the Zhang family adopted a network of exploration, but in the later stage, all the routes were grouped into one, and the purpose was clearly clear. This is because in the beginning, the purpose of this group of people was only to collect finances, but then they discovered a secret in the collected finances, so they turned to exploring the secret.

In the corner of the room, there was the entrance to a corridor, and when they entered, they entered a dry ancient ruin, half collapsed, and they could see the knife-like ceiling, half buried in the earth, and the whole roof was sloping.

It is a wing house with a garden on the side, and it looks like a large family's building, and the family is well-off, so the house is very strong, and although it collapsed in the flood, many of its shapes have been preserved.

Here they saw two forks in the road, and the tomb road that continued to stretch forward became two. From the traces of the silt, it was easy to tell which one the stuffy oil bottle was going, but Zhang Haike found that they could not follow.

Because these two go to the entrance of the cave, one is big and the other is small, the big one is the normal size, and the small one can only accommodate such a person as a stuffy oil bottle. Although the few of them looked not much bigger than the stuffy oil bottle, they definitely couldn't squeeze in.

Zhang Haike was puzzled, and after he carefully inspected the small thief hole, he found that this was a last resort, because around this thief hole, there were four bluestone slabs in the soil, which was a sewer channel, and the diameter had been fixed and could not be expanded.

No wonder the stuffy oil bottle said that only he could pass through it.
