Lao Yang just walked and looked at the ground carefully. Sometimes, he stopped and stretched out his foot and stepped on the ground hard. I had no idea what he was doing.

Not long after, Lao Yang stopped again. He stretched out one foot and stepped on the ground with his forefoot. A "pong" sound came from the ground immediately. The sound was very hollow, and the ground was hollow.

Lao Yang pointed to the place where he had just stepped on and said to Mr. Zhang, "It should be that place."

Mr. Zhang immediately walked forward and punched the ground.

Another pound sound, this time the sound was also empty, but the volume was much louder than before.

Mr. Zhang frowned: "It's not much stronger than I thought."

Lao Yang said beside him: "The same is true on the other side of Nanshan. The earth shell at the entrance of the cave is thick and hard, so how can the fist be smashed open?"

Second Master Zhang smiled at Lao Yang, then took a deep breath, and another heavy punch hit the ground.

In terms of strength and speed, this punch was more than one level stronger than the previous punch. The loess within one meter were shaken up.

After being hit hard by Master Zhang Er, the ground sank slightly. After a second, the sinking area quickly sank, and a large hole nearly half a meter wide appeared on the ground. I could hear the wind at the entrance of the cave four or five meters away.

Mr. Zhang lay on the ground, put his head into the hole and looked at it, then got up again, and his fist hit the ground like raindrops.

First, there were a series of dull sounds of "shushing" and then the ground began to sink one by one, and the hole continued to expand until its diameter reached about two meters, and the second master of Jason stopped.

Old Yang was stunned. He stared at Master Zhang in a daze, unable to speak for a long time.

It was not until Mr. Zhang patted his shoulder and asked him how he could go down that he came to his senses and squatted in front of the cave and watched carefully.

I also came to the entrance of the cave, which was pitch black and I couldn't see anything clearly.

Old Yang watched for a while and said with relief: "It's okay, it should be the same."

I couldn't help asking him: "What is the same?"

Lao Yang looked up at me and explained to me: "In the village, the old people of the previous generation called this kind of hole a patio. A few decades ago, I dug out a hole on the Nanshan side. I and a few of my peers went down and found that there were many stone rings in the shafts of these patios. I climbed down the stone rings and walked to the bottom of the cliff. I forgot who said that there was such a patio on the cliff. I used to think it was a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true."

I was a little confused: "Didn't I say that if I want to go to the bottom of the cliff, I need to build a sky lock?"

Lao Yang: "That's right. This hole is called a patio. The stone rings in the well are the sky locks. However, those rings are difficult to find. When I was young, I often climbed cliffs to find herbs. I know how to do this."

Du Kang said before that only elderly people in villages like Lao Yang know how to build the sky lock. It turns out that the sky lock does not need to be built at all.

Because the cave was too dark, I called Liu Shangang and asked him for a flashlight.

I turned on the flashlight and let the pale beam sweep the cave wall. I was about to enter the evil god's territory. There was almost no vegetation on the hill, but there was a lot of vegetation on the cave wall. While I swept the cave wall with the flashlight, I observed carefully, but no matter what, I could not see the "stone ring" in Lao Yang's mouth.

At this time, Lao Yang pointed at the hole wall and said to me: "Look, there is a circle there."

I looked in the direction of his fingers, and I had to waste a lot of effort to see a ring-shaped thing from the weed-growing hole wall, but the thing was simply green and almost integrated with the surrounding scenery. If it weren't for Lao Yang's reminder, I might not be able to see it even with a telescope.

I raised my head and looked at Liu Shangang.

Liu Shangang understood what I meant and immediately shook his head at me: "Brother Dao, don't look at me, I can't do such a job. Although my eyesight is better than you, it's the ultimate vision, and I can only see far."

Originally, I was thinking that if someone was competent to find Shihuan, Lao Yang would not have to go with us. Now it seems that Lao Yang still has to go.

At this time, Lao Yang also said to me: "The courtyard is very slippery, and I can only rely on these stone rings to borrow strength. If I were a teenager, I could walk ahead and point you the way, but now, I am afraid I can't climb."

Mr. Zhang: "I will carry you on my back."

Actually, Lao Yang originally meant this, but he was embarrassed to say it, so he changed his wording. When he heard Mr. Zhang's words, Lao Yang smiled embarrassedly: "Then I'll trouble you."

According to Lao Yang's original intention, he and Mr. Zhang first went down, and we would go down. In addition, we had to give him a flashlight. When I was slowing down, he raised his head and used the flashlight to help us shine the position of the stone ring.

But Liang Houzai said that if Lao Yang was below, after we entered the cave, there might be mud falling, and he would easily get confused when he looked up and pointed out the way. So he and Erye Zhang should enter the cave last and point us the direction of the stone ring from above.

I was the first to enter the hole. Lao Yang first hit the flashlight on the stone ring, and then I moved my hands and feet according to the direction of the light beam.

After me, Liu Shangang and Du Kang came one by one, Liang Houzai was behind Du Kang, while Mr. Zhang was at the end of the team.

Every time I came down, I had to move down for a distance. Lao Yang's light was very accurate, and the beam could accurately land on the stone ring under my feet every time.

Facts proved that Liang Houzai's strategy was correct. When the person above my head moved, a large amount of wet mud mixed with broken vegetation fell down. If Lao Yang showed the way below, he might not be able to open his eyes when he raised his head.

Since finding stone rings is a very time-consuming thing, our movement speed is very slow. I don’t know how long it took, but I gradually felt that my arms had started to get sore. Liu Shangang stopped and shouted in the courtyard: “Let’s take a rest first, no, my arms are about to be dislocated.”

I stood on the stone ring, moved my left hand for a while, and responded: "After twenty minutes of rest, everyone's backpack has compressed biscuits and energy bars, and the water is in the side pocket of the backpack."

Not long after I went deep into the forest, my watch stopped leaving, so I couldn't calculate how long we had been in the mountain, but judging from my hunger level, we have been in the mountain for at least six hours.

There was still mud falling down on my head. When I was eating compressed biscuits, I couldn't help but eat some coarse particles of minerals. Even the kettle was not spared. When I just unscrewed the lid, a large piece of mud fell down. It hit my head and broke into many small pieces. Then I heard a slight sound of falling into the kettle.

I had no choice but to stuff the kettle back into my backpack, intending to wait for it to settle before drinking.

I said I had a 20-minute break before, but in such an environment, I didn't know how long it would take for twenty minutes. I just waited for a while after eating before asking the people behind me if they had a rest.

Du Kang responded to me: "Go away now."

There was a strong sense of impatientness in his tone.

I didn't want to be skeptical with him, so I asked Liu Shangang alone: ​​"Shouhou, is your arm OK?"

Liu Shangang: "No problem, let's go."

In this way, we continued to move downwards. Time seemed to be getting longer and longer. In the end, every time I moved, I seemed to use all my strength. Liu Shangang, who was closest to me, kept gasping for breath.

No one has calculated how long it has passed. When Lao Yang told me the end, I breathed a sigh of relief, carefully poked out one foot, and indeed stepped on the solid ground.

The others were not in a hurry to move and were quietly waiting for me to find the exit.

Liu Shangang threw me another flashlight. With the light of the flashlight, I saw a large ball of fluffy vegetation on the wall of the cave on the left.

I took out the Qinggang Sword and tried to poke the vegetation twice. The Qinggang Sword was stabbed in without any resistance. This area of ​​the cave wall was empty and the vegetation also grew out of the outside.

Then I pulled out the scabbard and used the green steel sword to chop down the vegetation that had grown into the patio. Suddenly, fresh wind gushed in from the newly opened hole, and at the same time, a very strange qi field rushed in.

When I first encountered this kind of Qi field, I almost died under the truck's tire, so I knew very well that this strange Qi field that looked a bit like Yin Qi, and also like a mixture of resentment and hostility, came from the body of the evil god.

After leaving the courtyard, we officially entered the realm of the evil god.

At this time, Mr. Zhang asked me above: "You Dao, have you found the exit? I feel like a new wind is blowing in."

I quickly responded: "I found the exit, let's get down."

As I said, I walked out of the cave entrance, and then Liu Shangang and the others followed them one by one.

On the other side of the entrance is a very short tunnel, filled with all kinds of plants that I can't name. Some seem to be tiny jujube trees, and some look like holly bushes. While walking forward, I cleared a path with a green steel sword.

About ten minutes later, I finally got out of the crowded tunnel.

After coming out, the first thing I did was to look up at the sky. Above the cliff, the sky had turned pure black. There was no stars in the night, and only a particularly bright full moon could be seen.

If I remember correctly, it should be the end of the lunar calendar now, how could there be a full moon in the sky?

Mr. Zhang also looked up at the sky. His brows frowned tightly and muttered: "It's the full moon again?"

What is "a full moon again"?

I was wondering, and Du Kang ran past me like a gust of wind and ran towards the depths of the canyon. Mr. Zhang immediately winked at me and said, "Follow him."

I immediately rushed forward and followed Du Kang's pace.

In fact, it is not rigorous to call this place a canyon. Although there are mountains on both sides, the distance between the mountains is very large. To be precise, this should be a huge valley.

I felt that the source of the strange Qi field was in the center of the valley, but Du Kang was running in the opposite direction, running desperately like a hunting dog. He didn't notice it at all, and he was running attentively, just like a hunting dog chasing his prey.

In order to keep up with his pace, I could only use the green steel sword to drive away the weeds and thorns that occupied the road, but even so, he gradually distanced himself from me.

When I thought I was about to catch up with him, he suddenly stopped.

Directly in front of Du Kang was a large forest of lush trees that completely blocked my view.
