"Even if there is a strong suction here, it is unlikely to affect the situation on the river surface. After all, this place is far away from the river surface and there is no direct connection between the two."

At this time, the old village chief also rushed over. Maybe because of his old age, he was out of breath after running, and his breathing sounded a little trembling.

"Village chief, if you are not feeling well, don't go down anymore. We don't know what is down there. It would be wise for you to go up now." Fatty Wang was already somewhat dissatisfied with the old village chief, and now he frowned even more.

The old village chief ignored Fatty Wang's words and stared at the water below with a frown, as if thinking about something.

The crowd ignored the old village chief and continued on their way.

The one walking in front was Zhang Qilin who had been silent the whole time. For some reason, Zhang Qilin seemed a little unusual today.

Since opening the Yin Yang Inn, he has become more talkative as a technical consultant.

I originally thought that he had become easier to communicate with, but I didn't expect that he would return to his previous state so quickly.

Zhang Qilin continued along the passage and soon came to a branch intersection.

This intersection divides the road into three: straight ahead, left, and right. This is undoubtedly a difficult choice.

If you choose the right path, you may have 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."

Hearing this, Zhang Hao waved his hand and said, "Brother Qilin, we are not familiar with this place, so let's choose a road and go together. If it doesn't work, we can retreat before dark and come back tomorrow to explore other roads."

It’s not that Zhang Hao is unwilling to take risks, but he always feels that there is a strange atmosphere in this place, but he can’t tell exactly what’s strange about it.

Zhang Qilin hesitated for a moment, but still smiled and said, "Let's act separately."

After saying this, he held the black gold ancient knife in his hand, and with a flash of his body, he entered the passage on the left.

Zhang Hao was about to stop him, but Fatty Wang behind him laughed and said, "Don't bother yourself. It seems that few people can stop Brother Qilin from doing what he wants to do."

"Besides, if he takes one road and we don't want to separate, we can just take another road," Fatty Wang continued.

Zhang Hao frowned helplessly: "That's the only way."

So the three of them chose the right passage and continued forward. They used the light of the flashlight to illuminate the dark passage ahead. However, Fatty Wang was quite dissatisfied with the brightness of the flashlight.

"Isn't this thing too useless? The Wolf Eye flashlight we used before was much brighter than this." Fatty Wang complained.

"This is just like a candle, not even as bright as a candle! You'll never know what to buy unless you compare..." He muttered as he walked.

Zhang Hao and the old village chief walked behind Fatty Wang, and neither of them said much.

At this time, the only sounds in the entire passage were the footsteps and breathing of the three people and Fatty Wang's complaints.

The long and narrow passage seemed to have no end, and the three of them walked in it for a long time.

Suddenly, Fatty Wang stopped walking. Zhang Hao didn't react in time and bumped into his back.

"Fatty, what are you doing?" Zhang Hao asked somewhat unhappily.

"Look, there's something here!" Fatty Wang shouted excitedly.

He focused the 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 adventures, and originally thought that he would never have the chance to use it after opening the Yin-Yang Inn.

Unexpectedly, it came in handy again today.

Unexpectedly, this purely accidental exploration led us into a mysterious building, which seemed to activate the long-dormant desire for adventure in Fatty Wang's heart.

Zhang Hao shone a flashlight across the wall and discovered that these were not narrative murals, but more like a unique decoration.

The content on the murals is unbelievable.

The first picture shows two people with black wings kneeling on both sides of an arched door, while in the center stands a strange creature with a bird's head and a 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, also depicting the scene of this monster with a bird's head and a human body brutally killing humans.

Although the colors of the murals have faded severely over the years, the clear lines still vividly show the brutality of the birdman.

As for the third mural, it was only half completed. It depicted a pair of strange eyes, slightly squinting, as if they had just woken up, but also looked a little sleepy.

The other half of the face is hidden behind an oval object, especially the strange spiral symbol on the forehead, which is even more imaginative.

Zhang Hao racked his brains but could not understand what message these three murals were trying to convey.

He was immersed in the world of murals, while Fatty Wang silently illuminated the way for him with a flashlight, while his own eyes were also exploring forward.

Before, the light of flashlights had always been their tool for exploring caves, making those things hidden in the darkness seem non-existent as long as they were not touched by the light.

However, when Zhang Hao took the flashlight to study the murals, Fatty Wang looked forward and was so frightened that he staggered and almost knocked down Zhang Hao and the old village chief behind him.

Zhang Hao was shocked by Fatty Wang's behavior, and anger rose in his heart.

"Fatty, could you please stop being so jumpy?" he complained.

"There...there is something..." Fatty Wang's voice trembled. He carefully moved the flashlight forward and pointed in a direction.

"Are you kidding? There's no one here all year round, how could someone show up?" Zhang Hao said this, but he was already prepared. He quickly took out a piece of talisman paper from his pocket, held it between two fingers, and after silently reciting a spell, he lightly tapped his two fingers, and a light blue flame instantly ignited.

Then, he used the flame to shine between 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 help Fatty Wang acquire this ability, and the old village chief followed behind them. After all, he was old, and if he saw something he shouldn't see, he might be frightened.

Fatty Wang could now see everything in the cave clearly. When he saw what he was afraid of before, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Haha, I never thought that this day would come to me. I was so scared by a half-finished statue that I almost sat on the ground. If this gets out, where will I put my face?"

However, before Fatty Wang could finish his words, Zhang Hao suddenly covered his mouth. "Look!" he shouted, pointing forward.

Zhang Hao and Fatty Wang looked in the direction of the finger and saw Zhang Qilin standing quietly at the end of a corridor not far away. In front of him was an archway with intricate patterns carved on it.

"Brother Qilin is so fast. I didn't expect he could get here from another direction." Fatty Wang exclaimed.

"Hurry up and take a look!" He couldn't wait to get closer to take a look. Before Zhang Hao could stop him, Fatty Wang had already rushed out.

However, just as Fatty Wang was about to approach Zhang Qilin, Zhang Qilin's body suddenly disappeared from the spot with a rumbling 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 faces became complicated.

The old village chief's eyes were full of doubts, and he was obviously beginning to doubt Zhang Hao and the others. The secret that Sanjiashan Village had guarded for generations was not yet fully understood by them, but was easily discovered by these outsiders.

"Mr. Yin Yang, I know you are quite prestigious and powerful in this area, and I believe you have no ill intentions. But for what happened today, I still hope you can give me an explanation." The old village chief said in a serious tone.

"Before I take you to see this place today, people in our village have only heard of it but have never actually seen it. But this time, I bring you here, and the first time you see it, you can open the stone door that we have never discovered before. Especially the person next to you, he suddenly disappeared. Shouldn't you explain it?" The old village chief stared at Zhang Hao.

Facing the questioning of the old village chief, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense. Zhang Hao frowned slightly and thought to himself.

This Qilin guy is always elusive and not good at speaking. Even though he has given up tomb robbing and opened the Yin-Yang Inn, this habit seems to have not changed.

Fatty Wang, who was standing next to him, curled his lips in disdain when he heard the old village chief's question.

"What's going on? Village chief, are you just getting rid of us and destroying our bridges? Have you forgotten everything that Brother Zhang Hao and Brother Qilin did for your village? Now you're picking on us?"

Fatty Wang's words instantly reversed the atmosphere.

The old village chief looked at Fatty Wang, and forced a smile from his serious face.

"Haha, look at what you are saying. Mr. Yin Yang has done a great favor to our Sanjiashan Village. Not only me, but no one in the village will forget this. But this is the only secret of our village. You are so familiar with it in your first contact. How can I not be suspicious?"

After saying that, the old village chief looked at Zhang Hao tentatively, and was relieved to see that he still had a faint smile on his face.

"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 extraordinary strength."

Before Zhang Hao opened his mouth to explain, the old village chief had already found an excuse for them.

He looked at Fatty Wang awkwardly, and Fatty Wang grinned at him.

"You guys still have some conscience. I'm telling you, if you keep pestering me about this matter today, I, Fatty, will be the first one to disagree!"

After saying that, Fatty Wang moved closer to Zhang Hao and pointed mysteriously at the stone door without any traces.

"Brother Zhang Hao, Brother Qilin is performing magic again. I think he suddenly disappeared this time because he must have discovered something amazing. Maybe there are a lot of gold, silver and jewelry hidden behind this stone door! If it's true, then we don't even need to open the Yin Yang Inn, we can just win without doing anything!"

Zhang Hao looked at Fatty Wang helplessly. It seemed that this guy could never change his greedy nature.

"Fatty, why do you have this old habit again? Didn't you agree before that you would never do tomb robbing again?" he scolded.

Zhang Hao sighed softly, with a bit of helplessness between his brows: "In fact, our Yin Yang Inn is doing quite well now. As long as you, a business expert, can take on more work, I believe our lives will definitely become more and more prosperous."

However, Fatty Wang didn't seem to take Zhang Hao's words to heart. He just squatted down, staring at the intricate patterns on the stone gate, as if he wanted to see through them.

In this dark cave, only the faint light from a few flashlights can barely illuminate the limited space around.

When Fatty Wang squatted down, he was like a focused archaeologist, staring at the patterns 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 had undoubtedly aroused Fatty Wang's desire to explore the mystery of his life.

After all, for Brother Qilin, exploring his own life experience is the only obsession in his heart, like a lamp that never goes out.

Just as 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 over here and take a look! What is this thing?"

This shout startled both the old village chief and Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao sighed helplessly. It seemed that Fatty Wang's frightening temper would never change.

However, since Fatty Wang was so excited, he must have discovered something unusual.

Zhang Hao smiled apologetically to the old village chief, then squatted next to Fatty Wang and carefully observed the stone gate with the help of the flashlight.

Fatty Wang pointed to a strange pattern next to the stone door and said excitedly, "Look at this. Does it look familiar to you? I remember seeing this pattern somewhere before."

He went on to say, "When I opened an antique shop with Brother Haoxie, I seemed to have seen this kind of pattern on an object. But you see, the patterns around here are exactly the same, only this place is different."

As Fatty Wang spoke, he pointed out his discovery to Zhang Hao.

Although Fatty Wang usually appears careless, he is actually a meticulous person. Otherwise, he would not have been able to find anything unusual in these intricate patterns.

Zhang Hao frowned, his eyes fixed on the pattern, and began to search for information about the pattern in his mind.

"If I remember correctly, this should be the Chi pattern that was popular in ancient times. In ancient times, ghosts and monsters outside the capital were divided into Chimei Wangliang, and this Chi pattern is considered to be a relatively simple one among them. Because this kind of ghost is good at hiding, this pattern is often used on locks or items with high privacy." (End of this chapter)
