"Even if there is strong suction here, it is unlikely to affect the situation on the river. After all, it is far away from the river and there is no direct connection between the two."
At this time, the old village chief also rushed over. Perhaps because he was older, the running made him panting and his breathing seemed shaky.
"Village Chief, if you don't feel well, don't go down any further. We don't know what's down here, so it's wise for you to go up now." Fatty Wang was already a little dissatisfied with the old village chief. At this time He frowned even more.
The old village chief ignored Fatty Wang's words, but stared at the water below, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.
Everyone ignored the old village chief and continued to move forward.
Walking at the front was Zhang Qilin, who had been silent. I don’t know why, but Zhang Qilin looks a little unusual today.
Since opening the Yin Yang Inn, as a technical consultant, he has actually become more talkative.
I originally thought that he would become easier to communicate with, but I didn't expect that he would return to his previous state so quickly.
Zhang Qilin continued walking along the passage and soon came to a branch intersection.
This intersection divides the entire road into three: straight ahead, left and right. This is undoubtedly a difficult choice.
If you choose the right path, you may make new discoveries; if you choose the wrong path, you may waste time.
Zhang Qilin stopped and turned to look at Zhang Hao: "Let's split up."
Zhang Hao heard this and waved his hand quickly: "Brother Qilin, we are not familiar with this place, so let's choose a road and walk together. If it doesn't work, we will retreat before dark, and it won't be too late to come back tomorrow to explore other roads."
It's not that Zhang Hao is unwilling to take risks, it's just that he always feels that this place has a weird atmosphere, but he can't tell what is weird.
Zhang Qilin hesitated for a moment, then smiled: "Let's act separately."
After saying that, he held the ancient black gold sword and entered the passage on the left in a flash.
Zhang Hao was about to stop him, but Fatty Wang behind him laughed: "Don't try so hard. It seems that few people can stop what Brother Qilin wants to do."
"Besides, if he goes one way, if we don't want to separate, let's go another way." Fatty Wang continued.
Zhang Hao frowned helplessly: "That's the only way it can be."
So, the three of them chose the passage on the right and continued moving forward. They used the light of their flashlights to illuminate the dark passage ahead. However, Fatty Wang was quite dissatisfied with the brightness of the flashlight.
"Isn't this thing too powerful? The wolf-eye flashlight we used before was much brighter than this one." Fatty Wang complained.
"This is just like a candle. It's not even as bright as a candle! You really have to compare and throw it away..." He muttered as he walked away.
Zhang Hao and the old village chief walked behind Fatty Wang, neither of them said much.
At this time, the only sounds of the three people's footsteps, breathing and Fatty Wang's complaints were left in the entire passage.
The long and narrow passage seemed to have no end, and the three of them walked like this for a long time.
Suddenly, Fatty Wang stopped. Zhang Hao didn't react for a moment and bumped into his back.
"Fat man, what are you doing?" Zhang Hao asked with some displeasure.
"Look, there's something here!" Fatty Wang shouted excitedly.
He focused the light of his flashlight on the edge of the passage and pointed at the pattern on it: "This should be some kind of narrative mural, right? Is there any valuable information on it?"
Fatty Wang had accumulated a lot of experience during his previous expeditions, and originally thought that he would not have the chance to use it again after opening the Yin Yang Inn.
Unexpectedly, it came in handy again today.
Unexpectedly, this purely accidental exploration actually led us into a mysterious building, which seemed to activate the long-dormant desire for adventure deep in Fatty Wang's heart.
Zhang Hao turned on a flashlight and scanned the wall with light, discovering that these were not narrative murals, but more like ingenious decorations.
The content on the mural is incredible.
The first one shows two people with black wings, kneeling on both sides of an arched door, and in the center stands a strange creature with a bird head and human body, holding two bloody human heads in its hands. , the whole picture is full of weirdness and horror.
The second mural is similar to the first, and also depicts the scene of this bird-headed monster brutally killing humans.
Although the color of the mural has been severely faded over time, those clear lines still vividly display the birdman's brutality.
As for the third mural, it is only half completed. There was a pair of peculiar eyes painted on it, slightly narrowed, as if they had just woken up, but also looked a little sleepy.
The other half of the face is hidden behind an oval-shaped object, especially the weird spiral symbol on the forehead, which is even more fascinating.
Zhang Hao racked his brains and couldn't understand what message these three murals wanted to convey.
He was immersed in the world of murals, while Fatty Wang silently illuminated him with a flashlight while looking forward to explore.
Previously, the light of flashlights had been a tool for them to explore caves, making things hidden in the darkness as if they did not exist as long as they were not touched by light.
However, when Zhang Hao took the flashlight to study the mural, Fatty Wang looked forward and staggered in fright, almost knocking down both Zhang Hao and the old village chief behind him.
Zhang Hao was startled by Fatty Wang's actions, and he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart.
"Fat man, can you stop being so surprised?" he complained.
"There's... there's something..." Fatty Wang's voice trembled, and he carefully moved the flashlight forward and pointed in one direction.
"Are you kidding? There is no one here all year round, how could someone show up?" Zhang Hao said this, but he was already prepared in his heart. He quickly took out a piece of talisman paper from his pocket and held it between his two fingers. After silently reciting the incantation, he tapped his two fingers lightly and a light blue flame instantly ignited.
Then, he used this flame to touch his eyebrows and eyes, and the cave in front of him suddenly became as bright as day.
Zhang Hao also used the same method to let Fatty Wang gain this ability, while the old village chief followed them. After all, he was old and might be frightened if he saw something he shouldn't have seen.
Fatty Wang could now clearly see everything in the cave. When he saw clearly what he was afraid of before, he couldn't help laughing.
"Haha, I didn't expect that my fat man would have such a day. He was so frightened by a half-finished statue that he almost sat on the ground. If this news spreads, where will my fat man's face be put?"
However, before Fatty Wang finished speaking, Zhang Hao suddenly covered his mouth. "Look!" he shouted, pointing ahead.
Zhang Hao and Fatty Wang looked in the direction of their fingers and saw Zhang Qilin standing quietly at the end of a corridor not far away. In front of him was an arch carved with complex patterns.
"Brother Qilin is so fast. I didn't expect that I could get here from the other direction." Fatty Wang sighed.
"Hurry up and take a look!" He couldn't wait to take a closer look. Before Zhang Hao could stop him, Fatty Wang had already rushed out.
However, just when Fatty Wang was about to approach Zhang Qilin, Zhang Qilin's body suddenly disappeared in place with a muffled sound from the stone door. When Zhang Hao and the old village chief arrived, they only saw the place where Zhang Qilin disappeared, and their expressions became complicated.
The old village chief's eyes were full of doubts, and he obviously began to have doubts about Zhang Hao and others. This secret that Sanjia Mountain Village has guarded for generations, they themselves have not figured out yet, but it was easily discovered by these outsiders.
"Mr. Yin Yang, I know that you are quite famous and powerful in this area, and I also believe that you have no ill intentions. But I still hope you can give me an explanation for today's matter." The old village chief said in a serious tone.
"Before I showed you this place today, people in our village had only heard about it and had never actually seen it. But this time I bring you here, and when you see it for the first time, you will be able to open the stone door that we have never discovered before, especially The person next to you suddenly disappeared, should you explain?" The old village chief stared at Zhang Hao.
Facing the old village chief's questioning, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense. Zhang Hao frowned slightly and thought to himself.
This Qilin guy is always elusive and taciturn. Even though he has given up fighting and opened the Yin Yang Inn, this habit still seems to have not changed.
Fatty Wang next to him curled his lips in disdain when he heard the old village chief's question.
"What's the matter? Village chief, are you trying to kill the donkey or destroy the bridge? Have you forgotten everything Zhang Hao and Qilin have done for your village? Now you are picking on us?"< br>
Fatty Wang's words instantly reversed the atmosphere.
The old village chief looked at Fatty Wang, whose face was serious just now, and forced a smile.
"Haha, look what you are saying. Mr. Yin Yang has been very kind to our Sanjiashan Village. No one in the village, let alone me, will forget this. But this is the only thing in our village. Secret, you are so familiar with each other for the first time, how can I not be suspicious?”
After saying that, the old village chief looked at Zhang Hao tentatively and felt a little relieved when he saw that he always maintained a faint smile.
"Actually, it doesn't matter if there is no explanation. After all, Mr. Yin-Yang is Mr. Yin-Yang. It would be strange if he didn't even have this superhuman strength."
Before Zhang Hao could explain, the old village chief had already found a reason for them.
He looked at Fatty Wang awkwardly, and Fatty Wang grinned at him.
"You have some conscience and no dog bit Lu Dongbin. Let me tell you, if you continue to pester me about this matter today, I will be the first one not to agree!"
After saying that, Fatty Wang approached Zhang Hao and mysteriously pointed at the stone door without traces.
"Brother Zhang Hao, Brother Qilin played magic again this time. I think he must have discovered something great when he suddenly disappeared this time. Maybe there are a lot of gold and silver jewels hidden behind the stone door! What if? If it’s true, then we don’t even have to open the Yin Yang Inn, we can just win!”
Zhang Hao glanced at Fatty Wang helplessly. It seemed that this guy would never change his nature of being greedy for money.
"Fat man, why are you doing this old habit again? Didn't you agree before that you would never do reverse fighting again?" he scolded.
Zhang Hao sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness on his brows: "Actually, our current Yin Yang Inn is running pretty well. As long as you, a business expert, can get more work, I believe our days will be better." The more prosperous it is.”
However, Fatty Wang didn't seem to take Zhang Hao's words to heart. He squatted down and stared at the complicated patterns beside the stone door, as if he wanted to see through them.
In this pitch-black cave, only a few flashlights emitted faint light, barely illuminating the limited surrounding space.
Fatty Wang squatted like a dedicated archaeologist, staring at the lines on the stone door without blinking.
Seeing this, Zhang Hao shook his head helplessly. He knew in his heart that Zhang Qilin's sudden disappearance undoubtedly aroused Fatty Wang's desire to explore the mystery of his life experience again.
After all, for Brother Qilin, exploring his own life experience is the only obsession in his heart, like a light that will never go out.
Just when Zhang Hao wanted to change the subject and comfort the old village chief, Fatty Wang suddenly shouted, breaking the silence in the cave: "Brother Zhang Hao! Come and have a look! What is this?"< br>
This voice startled both the old village chief and Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao sighed helplessly. It seems that Fatty Wang's sudden temper will never change.
However, since Fatty Wang was so excited, he must have discovered something extraordinary.
Zhang Hao smiled apologetically at the old village chief, then squatted next to Fatty Wang and carefully observed the stone gate by the light of the flashlight.
Fatty Wang pointed at a strange pattern next to the stone door and said excitedly: "Look at this, does it look familiar? I remember seeing this pattern somewhere before."
He continued: "I think that when Brother Haoxie and I opened an antique shop together, we seemed to have seen this pattern on an object. But you see, the patterns around here are all the same, except in this place Different.”
As Fatty Wang spoke, he pointed out his findings to Zhang Hao.
Although Fatty Wang is usually careless, he is actually a very thoughtful person. If not, it would be impossible to find abnormalities in these complicated patterns.
Zhang Hao frowned, his eyes locked on the pattern, and his mind began to search for information about this pattern.
"If I remember correctly, this should be a popular pattern in ancient times. In ancient times, ghosts outside the capital were divided into monsters and monsters, and this pattern is considered to be one of the simpler ones. Since this kind of ghost is good at hiding, this pattern Often used in locks or highly private items."(End of Chapter)
