Tong Yu groped his way down slowly, and finally stepped on the ground after a long time.

"Girl? Boy, where are you?"

The echo in the cave was very loud, so the cave should be very big too. But Tong Yu shouted several times, but no one responded to him.

"Ms. Lin Xi?" Tong Yu remembered that the boy called the girl like this.

Still no one responded, which made Tong Yu a little puzzled. There was only one hole, where would these two people go? Could they be dead?

No way. Although this cave is very high, the bottom of the cave is made of soft soil. It is unlikely that someone would fall to death.

"Brother Tong, you, you're crushing me."

After a long time, Qiao Linbao's voice came from the ground. Tong Yu looked down and found that the soft thing was not soil but the boy's belly.

People who practice martial arts have better eyesight than ordinary people. Tong Yu has been in the cave for some time and has adapted to the darkness inside. He can see vaguely.

"Where is your sister?" Tong Yu pulled Qiao Linbao up and made sure that he was not injured before looking around.

Qiao Linbao shook his head: "I don't know, I can't see anything."

"How dare you jump down if you can't see?"

Qiao Linbao: "That's my sister, of course I have to come down to find her."

Tong Yu was completely convinced: "Okay, your sister is a fairy, she is your belief, you should follow her lead."

"Brother Tong, you have never experienced the feeling of losing both parents and falling into a dark abyss. Sister Lin Xi is the light I look up to in the abyss. It is she who gives me hope to live. She is the backbone of all of us children."

"No way, do you think so highly of your sister? She is so young and yet she is so responsible."

"Sister Lin Xi is fourteen years old this year, but she is very responsible for every child. During this journey of fleeing famine, Sister Lin Xi always found a way to find food for us. So all nineteen of us came here in one piece. Sister Lin Xi said that after we settle down, she will find a master for me to learn martial arts."

"Yeah," Tong Yu nodded, "This pie is very big."

"This is not a pie. My sister said she would do it. I believe her."

"You want to learn martial arts, why don't you call me master and I will teach you?" Tong Yu was confident that Qiao Linbao would agree and felt flattered.

But to Tong Yu's surprise, Qiao Linbao actually shook his head: "No, my sister said that you are important people, and it is better for ordinary people like us not to get involved with you too much."

"Did your sister really say that?"

After getting the confirmation, Tong Yu sighed: "Hey, your sister is really not an ordinary person. Well, no matter what your sister says, we must find your sister first."

Tong Yu took out a fire starter from his arms, opened it and blew it to light it, and a beautiful face suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Oh my god..."

Tong Yu was really scared. After calming down, he moved closer to take a look. It turned out to be Qiao Linxi.

"Little girl, how come you appear here quietly?"

"I saw you were talking so enthusiastically that I didn't want to disturb you."

Qiao Linxi patted the dirt off her body. After she fell, she stood up and groped her way forward for a distance. When she heard a sound, she turned back and heard these words.

"Sister Lin Xi, are you okay?" Qiao Linbao was a little embarrassed, as if he was gossiping about someone behind their back and the person who did it heard him.

"It's okay, I just got scared." Qiao Linxi pressed the lighter and looked around: "This hole is quite big."

"It should be a hole left by tomb robbers."

Qiao Linxi shook his head: "I don't think so. I walked a few steps inside and felt that the wall of the cave was very smooth. It didn't look like freshly dug soil."

"Really?" Tong Yu was also very curious. Let's go in and take a look.

"It was pitch dark, and I couldn't see anything."

Tong Yu immediately had an idea: "I'll go upstairs to find some firewood to make a torch and then come down."

Tong Yu climbed up the cave wall with his bare hands, and climbed up in a few steps. He found some firewood as thick as his arms and went down the cave again.

The cooking oil that Qiao Linxi had drawn before came in handy now. Qiao Linxi poured a little bit of it on the cloth strip, then lit it with a lighter.

"Oh my god... this is amazing, little girl, how did you get this jar of oil into your sleeve? Do you have a bag that can hold everything?"

Seeing that Qiao Linxi did not answer his question, Tong Yu said to himself: "It is indeed the reincarnation of a fairy, with great powers that mortals do not have."

With the torch, everything in the cave could be seen clearly. It was just as Qiao Linxi said, it didn't look like it had just been dug out.

"I don't think the cave walls were newly dug. They look quite old."

Tong Yu touched the wall of the cave. It was very hard. It must have been coated with something that could strengthen the wall.

The three of them walked into the cave for a long time, and suddenly the view in front of them became clear. It turned out to be a room.

"This should be the tomb of some wealthy family, which is why it has such a layout." Tong Yu is knowledgeable and knows that many tombs of wealthy families are built luxuriously.

Some people would even start building their own mausoleums before they died, making their tombs as luxurious and grand as the mansions they lived in when they were alive. This phenomenon was even more obvious in the royal family, and the first thing each emperor did after ascending the throne was to build his own mausoleum.

"Tomb?" Qiao Linxi looked around in confusion, but did not see any coffin.

"If it's a tomb, why can't I see any coffin?" Qiao Linbao didn't know about the beating around the bush and asked directly.

"This should be the outer room, just like the gate of a living person's house. There should be some kind of mechanism. If we find the mechanism, we can find the entrance to the main tomb."

After saying that, Tong Yu carefully knocked the stone on the wall with the hilt of the sword.

Looking at Tong Yu's actions, Qiao Linxi found it a little funny.

Tong Yu was puzzled: "What are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing at you," Qiao Linxi said, "If this is a tomb, it's definitely not for an ordinary person. Since it's the tomb of someone of status, how could the mechanism be so simple that you only need to press a stone to open the entrance?"

"Then tell me, what should the entrance mechanism be like?"

"I guess this mechanism either uses the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams to set up a formation, which requires a way to crack it before it can be opened, or it is some ancient puzzle that can only be triggered if the correct answer is found."

"Sister Lin Xi..."

Qiao Linbao was surprised to find some strange symbols on the wall.

When Qiao Linxi walked over and took a look, she found that these symbols were actually the English letters she was familiar with.

"How strange, what do these symbols mean?" Qiao Linbao had never seen such symbols before and was a little confused for a moment.

Qiao Linxi was thinking, could it be that the owner of this tomb also traveled through time from her civilization? Otherwise, how could there be such letters?
