Everyone thinks I'm a wealthy doctor's son-in-law

This method is very simple and effective. The shadow shuttles between the trees, and can clearly see the position at the foot of the mountain.

Within half an hour, everyone walked out of this strange forest easily.

At the foot of the mountain, there is a huge hole, which is pitch black from the outside. Standing at the hole, one can feel the coolness gushing out. The hole is like the mouth of a wild beast.

In front of the dark cave, Shi Xiu was trembling nervously, and Shangguan Yanran was just as nervous as her. She pinched the center of her brows from time to time, the fear in her heart was like a spring, and no matter how hard she tried to restrain herself, she couldn't suppress the fear in her heart.

"Why? Why does the fear in my heart get stronger the more I get here! But it's obviously my first time here!"

Shangguan Yanran murmured in her heart that she didn't remember her childhood memories at all, only the indelible fear was deeply rooted in her heart.

"Finally here! Let's go in!" Shangguan He said, then signaled Shi Xiu to lead the way.

Lu Ming raised his hand to stop it, "It's already dark, don't go in tonight, rest here for a night, go in tomorrow morning!"

Shangguan He was puzzled and said: "The grotto is dark, is there any difference between day and night?"

Lu Ming didn't explain, but insisted on signaling He Xinyi and Yao Qing to prepare firewood for the night here.

Seeing the three of them preparing firewood nearby, Ying leaned forward and whispered: "Master, there is no need for us to join forces with him..."

Shangguan He raised his hand, stopped Ying's next words, and said solemnly, "That Lu Ming is unusual. The caves and underground palaces in Shiqing Mountain are full of dangers. In the past 30 years, the Shangguan family has sent three groups of people to investigate. It's life and death! It may be of great help to have him here, so I'll stay here for a night tonight, anyway, I'm not in a hurry."

Ying Wenyan nodded and said no more.

At the entrance of the cave, Lu Ming lit a bonfire, and the blazing fire shone in the cave. It was faintly visible that the cave was intricately intertwined and the terrain was quite complicated.

This should be a natural cave, and the underground palace was built deep in the cave.

Sitting around in front of the bonfire, He Xinyi muttered, "Mr. Lu..."

Lu Ming gave her a blank look, He Xinyi smiled bitterly, and changed her words: "Brother Lu, you said that the ancient box came from here. Why did that person carry the ancient box and bury it in the distant Niu Mountain? And why did he want to buy it?" Leave a clue, pointing to Shi Qingshan."

This was not only the doubt in her heart, but also the doubt in Yao Qing's heart. She pricked up her ears.

Lu Ming pondered for a while, and said: "There are many possibilities, I can't say for sure! But it is conceivable that the man not only got the ancient box, but also got the key to open the ancient box, but in the end he chose to bury it. According to me The most likely guess is that the person did not want the ancient box to be opened, and the picture left behind pointed to Shi Qingshan, in order to let those who accidentally entered it know the stakes of the matter, so they chose to give up opening the ancient box."

"It's not impossible! But..." Yao Qing frowned, and said, "But why did he stay away from Shiqing Mountain, and buried the ancient box in the distant Niu Mountain?"

"Civil turmoil!" Lu Ming guessed: "These people living here should be to protect the ancient box! Because of the civil turmoil, some people want to guard and steal themselves, thus polarizing, and the guardians of the ancient box quietly leave with the ancient box and create a The tomb with many traps finally wants to preserve the ancient box! But I don't want it to disappear completely."

Hearing this, the two nodded frequently, but all of this was just a guess based on the information Lu Ming had.

He handed the food to Shi Xiu and asked, "How long has Shi Family Village been here?"

Shi Xiu took the food, shook his head and said, "I don't know the details, but I heard that it has been a long time. People in the village are very stubborn in their thinking. No one wants to leave Shijia Village. Back then, my parents went hunting in the mountains. Back, I was about to flee Shijia Village with my younger brother, but was caught by the villagers and punished for it! I just turned 16 years old, and it was because of this incident that I was chosen as a sacrifice, probably because I was afraid that I would escape Bar."

Lu Ming comforted softly: "When I leave this time, I will take you and Shi Sheng with me."

"Thank you brother Lu Ming." Shi Xiu nodded gratefully.

Lu Ming secretly guessed in his heart that the people in Shijia Village should be in charge of guarding Shiqing Mountain at the earliest, and they should be in the same group as those people in Shiqing Mountain.

But with the passage of time, especially when the person who carried the ancient box left, the people in the underground palace of Shiqing Mountain and the people in Shijia Village, who were in charge of guarding the outer area, gradually lost contact with each other. Forget all about it and think of it as a mountain god.

This requires a very long process, ranging from hundreds of years to thousands of years.

It seems that in this deep mountain, it should have been prosperous thousands of years ago.

Suddenly, a slight sound made Lu Ming smile.

"Coming!" he whispered.

"What's coming?" Shi Xiu, who was closest to him, asked suspiciously.

Lu Ming grabbed Shi Xiu's hand, and slowly got up and looked into the dark forest on one side. His strange behavior also aroused the curiosity of the people around him, and they all looked up.

Seeing this, everyone was shocked, and stood up abruptly, all holding weapons tightly in their hands.

In the forest on the side, amidst the darkness, a pair of green eyes were staring at them.

Mountain Yuan Hairy Monkey!

Lu Ming smiled faintly, and said: "You should be clear, you are not my opponent! If you want to die, just come, otherwise I advise you to leave obediently."

Shanyuan Maohou must not understand what Lu Ming is talking about, and his words are not directed at Shanyuan Maohou, but Nayin, the owner of Shanyuan Maohou, who was in the dark.

Sure enough, the green eyes on the top of the tree gradually disappeared, jumping away towards the distance.

Lu Ming smiled faintly, picked up a torch in the campfire, and said, "Let's go! Go into this cave."

The confused Shangguan He said, "Didn't you say to rest here for one night!"

Lu Ming shrugged and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that there is no difference between entering the grotto during the day and at night!"

"Ugh!" A drop of cold sweat dripped down on Shangguan He's forehead, it's up to him when it's his turn.

Although angry in his heart, Shangguan He could only pick up the torch and raise his head to signal, followed by Ying and Shangguan Yanran.

In the dark cave, Shi Xiu walked in the front. She came in once before and was able to find the way to the underground palace.

The curious Yao Qing asked in a low voice: "Lu Ming, you are waiting for the Yuan Mao monkey to appear at the entrance of the cave, right?"

Lu Ming nodded.

"Why are you waiting for it?" Yao Qing asked again.

Shangguanhe on the side also pricked up his ears, but it's a pity that Lu Ming just smiled and didn't explain!

Since entering the mountain, the Shanyuan Hairy Monkey has been secretly following along the way. Lu Ming is sure that it will appear today, and the purpose of waiting for it is to see where it comes from and where it is going!
The Shanyuan hairy monkey appeared from the mountain, which means that there is a cave leading to the outside world in the cave of Shiqing Mountain. This is the purpose of Lu Ming's exploration. Now that he knows this, there is no need to go outside the cave. No more time consuming.

Soon, with the help of the faint light of the torch, Shi Xiu stopped and pointed to the distance tremblingly.

"Here is the underground palace."
