Li Lanzhen suddenly discovered a golden inverted triangle on the stone wall of the underground river.

As the water flowed, the golden triangle was also shaking constantly. Li Lanzhen's eyes were fixed on the triangle, shaking on the mountain wall.

She turned her head and looked at the open hole. The sunlight was still shining brightly on the surface of the underground river, reflecting the light on the mirror-like surface of the river.

In the distance, Linglong and Miaomiao were still playing in the water happily, so she slowly walked into the area where the triangle was shaking just now. She just felt very strange, what kind of light could refract into a very regular triangle?

Walking to the front of the mountain wall, Li Lanzhen slowly stretched out her hands and slowly placed them on the area where the golden triangle was shaking.

Her hand chased the triangle and slid slowly on the mountain wall. She saw her hand drawing a circle on the stone wall as the triangle swayed.

Just as Li Lanzhen let go of her hands and looked at the white alkali frost on her hands, she looked up again and found that the golden triangle had disappeared. Only a circle drawn by her hands remained on the cliff.

She turned her head and looked at the open hole on the top of the cave. It turned out that the sunlight had moved away. The river surface was still bright, but without the sunlight, the triangle could no longer be refracted on it.

Li Lanzhen once again placed her hands on the circular area and groped slowly. She always felt that there must be something wrong here.

Just as she was groping, her thumb suddenly brushed against a protruding stone. There was a crackling sound, and then a "boom". A hole collapsed under Li Lanzhen's feet and she disappeared on the spot.

Linglong and Miaomiao heard the sound and turned around to see that Li Lanzhen was gone. The two children were terrified and cried.

"grandmother!"

"grandmother!"

Linglong looked and saw that Li Lanzhen was gone. There was a big dark hole in the ground, like a monster with its mouth wide open. She shouted loudly, "The monster ate my grandma. Wuuuuuuu, Linglong has no grandma anymore..."

She knelt at the entrance of the cave and shouted loudly, "Grandma, wet nurse~~"

Ever since her brother brought her to meet Li Lanzhen on the burning mountain, she picked up Linglong and said to them, "Let's go. Follow grandma."

Linglong was no longer afraid and became attached to Li Lanzhen like a family member.

Children know best who is good to them.

Miaomiao said, "Linglong, you stay here and look after grandma. I'll go get my dad to save her."

Linglong nodded vigorously, wiped her tears, and knelt at the entrance of the cave, "Sister, you go, I will take care of grandma. Don't let the monster eat grandma."

Soon, people from Hanjia Village arrived and gathered around the cave. Xue Lao Hu said, "Everyone, stay away from here. If there is another collapse, we will fall in."

The old village chief asked Miaomiao, "Miaomiao, what happened? How did your grandma fall in?"

Miaomiao couldn't explain it clearly, she just said that they were playing in the water and her grandmother was walking on the river bank, when suddenly they heard a rumbling sound and her grandmother disappeared.

Han Mingjiang and Han Minghai burst into tears when they heard that their mother had fallen into the hole and disappeared. The two men knelt on the ground and shouted at their mother towards the hole.

Seeing the dark cave, Xue Lao Hu lit a torch, took it and said, "Lao Er and I will go down and take a look."

Han Minghai and Xue Bao also wanted to follow him, but Xue Lao Hu disagreed and said, "Safety up there is also important. Lao Er, you can come with me. Xue Bao will stay here to help the village chief keep an eye on the house."

As for Li Lanzhen, with a loud bang and a crackling sound, she fell freely into the hole. She closed her eyes and felt that she was falling more than ten meters deep. Then, with a thud, she landed on her butt on the ground.

Her butt was hurt from the fall. She lay on the ground with her eyes open, trying to adapt her vision to the dark environment underground. Li Lanzhen looked around but saw nothing.

Suddenly she remembered the flashlight in the space, so she sat up, took out the flashlight, turned it on, and shone it around. Everywhere the flashlight reached was covered with rocks. This was an underground cave.

After a while, she heard someone calling her from above. She took the flashlight, shone it towards the cave entrance, and answered loudly, "Hey! I'm underground."

The people on the ground suddenly heard Li Lanzhen's response and burst into tears of joy.

It’s good to know that she is still alive and has seen a little light.

Li Lanzhen stood up, holding a flashlight in one hand and tightly grasping the stun baton in the other.

She didn't know what was down there, maybe a python, or some ferocious beast or something else, but there shouldn't be anyone there, right? Maybe this was a treasure trove.

Thinking of this, Li Lanzhen became alert and quickly walked around the cave, observing the surroundings.

The area where you fall is not big, but if you walk inside this cave, it is still a cave.

It was very quiet here. The only sound was the clattering footsteps of Li Lanzhen. It was eerily quiet.

But Li Lanzhen still wanted to see what was here. She walked along but found nothing but bare stone walls. After walking about 100 meters, a very large cave suddenly appeared.

This cave was not only spacious but also very high. She used a flashlight to look along the cave bit by bit, but there was nothing there, not even a scratch on the stone wall. Li Lanzhen found it strange, and the circle drawn in the triangle was also very strange.

When I pressed it with both hands, it must have triggered some mechanism, and it fell down. If this is the case, it must have been man-made.

So, this cave was once inhabited by people or used to store something?

In this case, there should be some clues left, but there was nothing. When Li Lianzhen was halfway through her walk, her flashlight shone on a skeleton on the ground.

She was startled, but Li Lanzhen didn't scream.

Shine the flashlight on the skeleton again and observe. Based on the shape of the bones, this person should have been sitting cross-legged here before.

Next to him was a large wooden box, probably two meters long and half a meter wide, and at his feet was an open book.

Li Lanzhen did not rashly open the box or touch the book. She was afraid that the ancients might have designed some mechanism that would be triggered by her.

She put her feet together and bowed three times to the skeleton.

He murmured, "I didn't mean to disturb you. I don't know why you are here. I'm just passing by and will leave here tomorrow."

When she was about to leave, she suddenly touched the side of the box, and the wooden box slowly opened. Li Lanzhen was startled and she quickly stepped back a dozen steps.

Shine the flashlight on the box. At this time, the box looks like a coffin.

There really was something hidden in that box. After slowly rising one level, it moved to the side, and another level rose from the bottom. It rose three levels in total, and then the wooden box stopped moving.

Li Lanzhen slowly approached, holding the electric baton tightly in her right hand. She was one step away from the wooden box. She stopped and waved the electric baton across the three layers of the wooden box several times.

Li Lanzhen felt relieved when she found that no poisonous arrows were fired as expected.

She scanned the box layer by layer with the flashlight, and when Li Lanzhen saw what was inside, she smiled.

Wow! It looks like there really is a treasure.

It turned out that one layer was neatly arranged with silver ingots, chubby and cute! The other layer was full of colorful gems of different sizes, shapes and colors.

These are similar to modern gems. It is not known whether they were produced in this country or brought here from other places by this person, but Li Lanzhen likes them.

She thought, no one could dislike such a sparkly and shiny thing.

There is another layer that contains a small flat wooden box, surrounded by jade jewelry.

Li Lanzhen stood there for a while, wondering what to do. She looked at the long wooden box, which should be a coffin.

Could it be that this deceased person prepared the coffin himself? But why didn't he lie in it at that time? He chose to sit here.

What should I do? Collect the things and put his body inside? Put him in a coffin and let him rest in peace?
