Although there are not many people who go, there are always more than a dozen people, and the private room on the third floor cannot accommodate these people, so Zhao Hao found a private room on the second floor.
Although the dishes on the second floor are not as good as those on the third floor, they are also difficult to see delicious, and Qin An has eaten a lot of them this time.
After drinking and eating, watching these people talking here, although Qin An had the heart to listen to them for a long time, but after listening to them for a while, he got tired of it, and he said hello to Zhao Hao and left.
Since the last time he got the property right certificate of Siji Mountain, Qin An has not been there.
Qin An had nothing to do now, so he decided to go to Siji Mountain to take a look and inspect his "territory".
After Cai Xiaoman came back from a trip this time, they hadn't gone out to play together, so Qin An went to Cai Xiaoman's house to invite her to go with her.
Cai Xiaoman had nothing to do at home, she was bored, and as soon as she heard Qin An invite her to play, she went downstairs with Qin An after saying hello to her parents.
......
Two hours later, Qin An and Cai Xiaoman came to the foot of Siji Mountain.
The elevation of Siji Mountain is only 600 meters, which is not very high, but the range is large, stretching for dozens of miles, and you can only feel the grandeur and majesty of the mountain before you get closer.
"Wow, I didn't expect there to be such a beautiful mountain in our city. Looking at the continuous winding peaks and the endless green, Cai Xiaoman couldn't help but sigh.
"Let's go up the mountain quickly!" Cai Xiaoman was a little excited, the bottom of this mountain is so beautiful, and the scenery on the mountain is definitely no worse than the foot of this mountain.
There is a stone and brick paved road on this mountain, Qin An pulled Cai Xiaoman to walk slowly on the mountain road, taking pictures as he walked.
"Qin An, why is there no one on this mountain?"
Walking halfway up the mountain, Cai Xiaoman was a little curious, such a beautiful peak, there shouldn't be no one without it, not to mention that it was the weekend, according to common sense, they should have met other tourists a long time ago.
Qin An explained with a smile: "This mountain has been contracted by someone, and it is considered privately owned, and it is unbearable for others to come and visit. ā
Cai Xiaoman was a little flustered: "Why didn't you say it earlier, let's go down quickly, it won't be good if people find out." In her opinion, coming to this kind of privately contracted mountain is like trespassing on a private house.
Qin An smiled evilly: "It's okay, don't be afraid, this mountain is contracted by me, and I am the king of the mountain here." ā
Cai Xiaoman obviously didn't believe it: "Don't be kidding, let's go down first." ā
"It's true, I didn't lie to you, when you saw me at the Dorsett Hotel that day, I was going through the property transfer procedures, and I still have photos on my phone. Qin An said, took out his mobile phone, and opened a photo, this is the property right certificate of this mountain, and Qin An's name is impressive.
Seeing this, Cai Xiaoman was somewhat convinced.
"Where did you get the money to buy the mountain?" she couldn't help but ask, still a little curious.
"That's a good explanation, you see. ā
Qin An bent down and picked up a small pebble from the ground, lightly clasped his middle finger, and then used his true qi, flicking it hard, and suddenly the pebble shot out quickly, hitting a small tree with a bang.
The tree, which was the thickness of an arm, was hit by a stone and first fell to the ground with a clatter, and then the pierced trunk could not bear the weight of the canopy and slowly fell.
"This ...... This. Seeing this broken decimal at the waist, Cai Xiaoman opened his mouth in surprise and was speechless.
Looking at Cai Xiaoman's cute appearance here, Qin An touched her head: "It's nothing, I'm not an ordinary person now, naturally someone will befriend me, and you will be my wife in the future." ā
"Dreaming, who wants to be your lady of the village. Cai Xiaoman said coquettishly, "How did you do this?"
"I worshipped a master, and he taught me a lot of things, and I'm practicing now. ā
Cai Xiaoman was puzzled: "Cultivation?"
"Yes, it's cultivation, but the exercises he gave me are not suitable for you, and I will definitely find exercises that suit you in the future. ā
Cai Xiaoman looked very open: "It's okay, I don't have to learn these things for a girl, just have you to protect me." ā
"Don't worry. Qin An said, "With me, no one can hurt you." ā
Boom! Boom!
At this moment, several loud noises were heard in the distance, and a puff of dust could be seen rushing up into the sky.
"What is this?" Qin An felt that something big was happening there and wanted to go and see it, but he was worried about Cai Xiaoman's safety.
Cai Xiaoman saw through Qin An's mind and said empathetically: "Qin An, let's go and have a look." ā
"But ......"
"It's nothing, let's just look at it from a distance, didn't you say you could protect me?"
"Okay, let's take a look from afar. ā
The place where the loud noise just came out was in this mountain, Qin An would always feel unsteady if he didn't go to see it, he wanted to go over and see what was going on, if there was danger, let Cai Xiaoman stay where he was, and go over to see it alone.
......
Ten minutes later, Qin An pulled Cai Xiaoman to the place where the sound came from, and from a distance, they saw a large pit, which was about fifty meters in diameter, and it was expanding, and the surrounding grass and trees continued to slide down with the soil.
"Is this a sinkhole?" Qin An had heard of this situation in some places before, but as far as he knew, sinkholes were a special geological landscape distributed in karst areas, and this was not a karst area, and according to common sense, this should not appear here.
"You wait for me, I'll go to the front and have a look. Qin An said a word to Cai Xiaoman and walked over.
"Be careful. Cai Xiaoman instructed in the back.
"Don't worry. Qin An replied, and quickly walked to the side of the sinkhole.
Walking to the front of this sinkhole, Qin An discovered its horror, and looked down at it was pitch black, and there was no bottom in sight.
"What is this?" Qin An put his true qi in his eyes, but he saw something unusual.
He opened his eyes wide and wanted to see more clearly, but at this moment, the ground under his feet suddenly sank down, and Qin An couldn't dodge and fell down all of a sudden.
A few seconds later, Qin An fell to the ground.
"It hurts. Although he had just landed on the ground, he skillfully used his true qi to relieve his strength, but he was still injured.
The next second he didn't feel the pain, and the sight in front of him shook his heart.
He looked around in shock, this was an underground palace, and the place where he landed was the edge of the square outside the palace, and the roof of this hall was densely inlaid with many night pearls, illuminating this place as bright as day.
"Luckily, there is a signal. Qin An took out his mobile phone, the tempered film of the mobile phone was broken, but it did not affect the use, there was a signal on it, it seemed that it was not very deep here.
He dialed Cai Xiaoman's phone:
"Qin An, are you okay?" As soon as he connected, Qin An heard Cai Xiaoman's concerned voice.
"Xiaoman, I'm fine, don't worry about me, you wait for me first, I found something interesting. ā
Qin An comforted, he didn't want Cai Xiaoman to be anxious.
"I'll call someone, find a rope to pull you up. ā
"No need, I'll climb up on my own in a minute, don't worry about me. ā
"Okay, you come up quickly, if you don't come up in an hour, I'll call someone." ā
"Alright then, I'll be up in a moment. Qin An hung up the phone after speaking, he wanted to explore this place quickly.
"What kind of place is this, the Emperor's Mausoleum?" After walking a few steps, Qin An was very curious, who would have thought that such a magnificent building would be hidden on this ordinary mountain.
After Qin An turned around, he found that there were no other buildings here except this palace, and this palace was empty, and half of the square outside the palace was covered by the dirt that fell from above, and he couldn't find anything useful.
"Hey, what is this?" Qin An suddenly saw two rows of shallow footprints in front of him, which seemed to have just been left behind.
He followed the footprints, and after a while he came to the end, and the footprints disappeared strangely in front of the stone wall.
"This is also a phantom array. ā
Qin An just looked at the darkness above and below, and he could only see it clearly when he ran his true qi, indicating that there was a phantom array on it, and this footprint disappeared here inexplicably, indicating that this eighty percent was also a phantom array.
The phantom array is the most basic formation, and Qin An can also arrange it, but because he doesn't have the right materials to make the formation base, he can't arrange it now.
Qin An didn't think much about it, he put his true qi in his eyes, and suddenly saw that there were two holes in front of him, he didn't hesitate, and went straight into the hole on the left.
After entering the hole, he slowed down his pace and proceeded cautiously.
Just as Qin An was passing a turn, he suddenly stopped, and then slammed into the wall, and a figure was photographed out by him.
