Hearing this, Su Dingqin immediately walked to the side of a few of us, squatted down and looked down.

After checking for a while, he sighed twice, saying that this slate is bluestone with a texture, mostly produced in Hubei, Shandong, Sichuan and other places, and it is absolutely impossible for this bluestone to appear in the land of Miaojiang, and this bluestone has a different texture from the stone on Zanglong Mountain, so this bluestone slab is by no means naturally formed, and someone must have placed it here.

After finishing speaking, Su Dingqin knelt down on his knees, then took out the Tiangang Water Splitting Fan from his waist, and knocked the bluestone slab a few times with the fan bone, only to hear a crisp sound from under the slate, which sounded hollow below, and the bottom was not dirt, but a space.

After listening for a while, Su Dingqin stood up, patted the dust off his knees, looked at a few of us and said: "There must be space hidden in the hollow below here, and this bluestone is not a product of Miao Jiang, in my opinion, there must be a cat hidden under this bluestone, Brother Chen, you and Brother Chen will lift this bluestone slab and see what is going on below." ”

Hearing this, Chen Xiaohu and I walked to the side of the stone slab, inserted the body of the red silk sword into the gap in the stone slab, and then began to tap hard.

As the force continued to increase, the squeak reached the ears, and the slate slowly lifted, and after about half a minute, the slate revealed a gap the width of a palm.

Immediately, I held a sword to support the slate, Chen Xiaohu inserted his hands into the gap, and with a shout, Chen Xiaohu's arms suddenly exerted force, only to hear a bang, the slate was directly turned up, and then slammed to the ground, raising bursts of dust.

When the dust cleared, several of us looked down at the bottom of the bluestone slab, and our faces were shocked.

Under the stone slab is a road, surrounded by earth walls, about two meters deep and one and a half meters wide, just enough for people to pass through.

After seeing the tunnel under the stone slab, several of us all showed unbelievable expressions on our faces, I didn't expect that there was such a space hidden on the top of this Hidden Dragon Mountain, could it be that this underground space is related to the secrecy on the human skin map?

Previously, we had asked Liu Yutian about the human skin map in the Gu Sect, and he said that he had not found any anomalies in this Hidden Dragon Mountain for decades, so it was very likely that the secret of this human skin map was hidden on the top of this Hidden Dragon Mountain, the mountain was steep, and the disciples of the Gu Sect did not come up often on weekdays, so it was natural that he did not find it.

Thinking of this, I looked at Su Dingqin and said: "Brother Su, do you say that the space under this stone slab will have anything to do with the human skin map, according to the human skin map, the secret is hidden in this Hidden Dragon Mountain, maybe we really found the secret by mistake." ”

Su Dingqin was silent for a moment when he heard this, and after half a minute, he said in a deep voice: "It's possible, since we have already noticed the vision, let's go into the Yongdao to find out, if there is really a secret, it is not in vain, but now the situation below is unknown, whether there is danger or not, according to my opinion, Brother Chen and Brother Li will stay on this ground first, and you and I, Miss Ning and Uncle Chen will go down and take a look." ”

After making up their minds, Chen Xiaohu and Li Hai stayed on the ground to answer, and the four of us took out the flashlight from the backpack and went into battle lightly, Su Dingxin went to the entrance of the cave and turned on the flashlight and jumped in directly, he held the flashlight left and right, saying that one side of this road is a passage, and the other side is a dirt wall, thinking that the place we found should be the entrance of the cave here, he stood in place and glanced around and then nodded to a few of us, signaling for us to come down.

Then several of us jumped into the cave one by one, and as soon as I entered the cave, I felt the temperature around me plummet, and the feeling was like standing bare-chested in the cold lake for three or nine days, and I shivered from the cold.

"Why is this place so cold, at least one or twenty degrees lower than outside." Without waiting for me to speak, Ning Nanxi took the lead in speaking.

"This place is about a meter away from the ground, the underground is dark and damp, and the sun cannot be exposed all year round, so it will be so cold, don't say so much, in my opinion, this passage should be excavated manually, let's continue to move forward first, the sky is about to get dark, now Brother Chen and Brother Li are still outside, once the beast attacks, the two may be difficult to resist, so let's speed up the search, find the secret as soon as possible and leave here as soon as possible." Su Dingqin looked at a few of us and stabbed.

Walking along the road, about two or three minutes later, we passed through the stone room to a space, raised the flashlight in his hand and shone around, the scale of this space is not very large, only about 100 square meters in total, surrounded by earth walls, and in the center of the stone room is erected this lotus platform, above the lotus platform is placed a delicate wooden box, there is a lock on one side of the wooden box, the lock looks like it should be made of bronze, not to mention thousands of years of history.

"Brother Su, there's a wooden box here!" While speaking, I walked towards the direction of the wooden box with a flashlight, and I looked down before the wooden box, the wooden box was carved with some patterns, but it was a little different from the patterns commonly seen, the normal style of the wooden box carving was generally a landscape pattern, or flowers and trees, but the carved on the wooden box were all choppy waves, although I knew that it was carved on it, but it was still surprising.

"It's strange, why there are so many waves carved on the top of this wooden box, it's really confusing." Su Dingqin looked at the wooden box in front of him and also showed a suspicious look, as if he didn't know why this was.

"What's more, just pry open this lock, this bronze lock has a history of thousands of years, and the internal structure has long been crispy, look at me!" As soon as the words fell, Ning Nanxi pulled out the Evil Breaking Sword from his waist and picked it directly towards the copper lock above the wooden box, only to see the blade of the Evil Breaking Sword pass through the bronze lock, and then the bronze shattered directly to the ground with a click.

Ning Nanxi took a step forward after putting away the Evil Breaking Sword, and just wanted to reach out to open the wooden box, but at this time, Su Dingqin on the side stopped him, and said in a deep voice: "Miss Ning, don't move first, we don't know what is in this wooden box yet, so don't act rashly, in my opinion, it is safer for me to open it, if there is any mechanism inside, I can also use the Tiangang Water Splitting Fan in my hand to block." ”

Ning Nanxi nodded after hearing this, then took two steps back, and when she retreated to a safe position, Su Dingqin walked to the front of the wooden box, gently opened the lock hook on one side of the wooden box, and then slowly lifted the box.

Su Dingqin carefully picked up the golden cloth bag, put it in the palm of his hand and slowly opened it, and when the last layer of gold cloth was lifted, several of us all looked at Su Dingqin's palm, and looked at it, the golden cloth was wrapped in a black and gray stone, this stone was about the size of an egg, but it was round, Su Dingqin looked puzzled when he saw this, stretched out his hand to slowly pick up the fast stone, and then put it in front of his eyes to look at it carefully, after a while, he shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Strange, How could this golden cloth contain a stone? ”

"Maybe it's not a stone, if it's really a stone, why do the hiders have to dig a pit here, just find a place to bury it, in my opinion, this stone must be a big article, but now we haven't understood it yet, so let's take this stone back first, and then let my father see what it is after returning to Xuanqing Gate." Ning Nanxi looked at Su Dingqin and said.

"What you said makes sense, Lord Ningmen is well-informed, maybe he will know this thing, okay, I'll put this stone away first, and then make plans when I go back." Then Su Dingqin rewrapped the black-gray stone, put it in his arms, and then we walked along the original road.

When they climbed out of the tunnel, it was already completely dark outside, and Chen Xiaohu and Li Hai also lit a bonfire near the earthen pit, while the two were wearing dry food with branches and placing it on top of the bonfire for barbecue.

After seeing a few of us coming out, Li Hai immediately put down the branch in his hand, got up and walked quickly in front of me, and asked worriedly: "You have finally come back, what is going on under this dirt pit, have you found the secret of the human skin map?" ”

"No, but we found a rock down there." I looked at Li Hai and responded.

"Stones? What are you doing when you have nothing to do and get a stone back, why are you holding on to it before you eat? Li Hai looked at me and asked with a puzzled face.

Hearing this, Su Dingqin took out the stone wrapped in gold cloth from his arms, and then put it in front of Chen Xiaohu and Li Hai, and said in a deep voice: "Although this stone has an ordinary appearance, it is wrapped in gold cloth and placed in a delicate wooden box. ”

"What about the secret of the human skin map, let's not look for it?" Chen Xiaohu looked at Su Dingqin and asked.

"The scale of Hidden Dragon Mountain is very large, even if a few of us look for ten days and half a month, I am afraid we will not be able to find it, now Uncle Qin is in danger, our most important thing is to send the Heavenly Erosion Yin Gu back to Jiangning City, so let's rest on this Hidden Dragon Mountain tonight, and leave Shengmiao after going down the mountain tomorrow, now we must quickly dig a pit to bury Nan Xiao's body, if it is too late, the beasts in the forest will come out to forage, and then they will definitely attack us if they smell the bloody smell of Nan Xiao's body."

After listening to Su Dingqin, a few of us felt that there was some reason, and then dug another pit nearby, so that Shen Nanxiao's body was buried in it, and after burying Shen Nanxiao, a few of us returned to the bonfire to eat dry food, and Su Dingqin sat in front of Shen Nanxiao's grave and said something to him.

"Nanxiao, my brother is with you for the last time tonight, tomorrow we will leave here, I think even if we leave you yourself will not be alone, the scenery here is beautiful, there are flowers and trees everywhere, and there are a lot of animals, but I can't often come to see you in the future, but I promise that as long as I have the opportunity, I will definitely come back to chat with you, all say that the underworld is a day in the world for a year, I hope you can stay in the underworld for a long time, and after I die, I will be able to go down to find you, and then the two of us will be reincarnated together, and we will be brothers in the next life!" Su Dingqin's feelings are sincere, and he can't help but be moved.

"Brother Su, now that the mountain breeze is cold, you better hurry over and warm up, don't catch a cold for a while, the road to leave Shengmiao is difficult, if you get sick, you will be in trouble." Ning Nanxi looked at this Su Dingqin and admonished.
