After the experience, I felt that this thing was so strange that it didn't seem like something a normal creature could do.

Could it be that the gods really are working?

But among the gods she knew, none would do such a thing?

"Since you fell unconscious suddenly, why did you let us follow the siphon tide?" Yuyan suddenly thought of this. "How did you know that we could get here by following the current?"

The fat man explained, "Because at night the water seeping outside will contract regularly, and the sound is obvious, like breathing."

Wu Xie and Wang Can still refused to give up. They supported each other and stood up, wanting to explore the entire cave again.

Yuyan seemed to trust the fat man more and sat there quietly eating.

If all else failed, she knocked them unconscious and ran to the flooded passage to ask God for help.

The fat man looked at the two stubborn donkeys and shook his head. "Don't waste your energy! You're so naive! Think about it, we've been here for two weeks. What have we been able to do in these two weeks? I didn't believe it at first, until I looked around here until I was about to vomit, and still found nothing!"

The fat man's expression was extremely painful, as if a fly had flown into his mouth while he was yawning.

The cave is actually not completely tight. There are some large and small puddles on the ground, and the water flows into the cracks in the rocks through the puddles.

Yuyan looked at the things piled to one side. In the corner were a few things that looked like stone mills or cast iron stoves, still filled with iron slag. On the other side were shelves holding a large number of tools. They were still stable, giving her a sense of security.

Then there was the clay statue that was only as tall as a beer bottle. It was unclear who it was, and Yuyan didn't seem to recognize it.

I tried to move it, but there was no passage under the clay sculpture.

But there are indeed traces of artificial excavation around it.

People in the past discovered this place and dug this jade vein, and they would definitely have transported it out.

Compared to Wu Xie's anxiety, Yuyan is heartless and not anxious at all.

"Aunt, why are you eating so happily?" Wu Xie was about to cry. He turned around and looked at Yuyan who was almost humming a song leisurely.

Yuyan handed over the potato chips in her hand and said, "Want to eat? They're quite delicious."

"You!" Wu Xie patted his thigh and asked, "Any chocolate?"

It’s not that Wu Xie is greedy, it’s that chocolate can replenish more energy than potato chips.

Yuyan nodded, took out the chocolate from her pocket and handed it over.

Wang Can was still calmer than Wu Xie. While eating to replenish his energy, he asked, "You've been here for so long, do you have any theories?"

Hei Xiazi leaned close to Yu Yan and put his head on her shoulder: "I think the most reliable guess is that we are all dead, and then my dear Erya comes to be my desperate lover."

Yuyan rolled her eyes, "Go away, little mouth! Talk nonsense!"

In fact, Hei Xia Zi didn’t mean that he really thought this speculation was reliable, but that other speculations were even less reliable and more ridiculous.

The fat man spat and cursed in frustration, "Damn it! I hate these intangible things the most! Do you think our horoscopes are incompatible? We keep running into these brothels when we go out together! Damn it! That Ah Gui is the same. He knows nothing and has no idea what to be on guard against!"

Listening to the fat man's complaints, Yuyan yawned and said slowly, "Save your saliva and energy, or your brain will be unable to work."

Although on the surface Yuyan was in a state where death was fine and life was fine, the review in her mind never stopped at all.

What link is missing?

"Let's go over what we know from beginning to end. This place must be connected to the whole thing." Yuyan turned to look at Wang Can, "You were an outsider at first, so listen and see if he has discovered anything else."

The fat man pointed to the words he had carved on the ground with stone. "I've sorted them out before, but I just can't figure it out. I'll go through them again and see if you can find anything new."

Drawn on the ground was the enumeration method often used by the fat man, writing down all possibilities and clues, and drawing circles to find connections.

But this time is different from the past. The information this time is all fragmented, and writing like this will only make it more confusing.

Wu Xie found a stone from the ground, wrote the keywords on another empty space, and began to sort out the information.

Zhang Qiling, who had been silent until mid-sentence, suddenly spoke up, "The deity in the mine is the Yao people's Thunder God. He's a fierce deity and isn't usually worshipped publicly unless something terrible has happened here."

The others were stunned, and the fat man asked, "Holy crap! How do you know this stuff?"

Zhang Qiling continued, "The fact that this thing is inside means that it didn't happen suddenly. Moreover, the fact that they were able to bring in the stone statue from outside to worship it after it happened means..."

Zhang Qiling stopped talking halfway because everyone knew the rest without him saying it.

Yuyan tapped her chin with her finger. "Did these miners dig up something unlucky down there?"

There is such a tradition. Whenever a construction project is started and dead bones are dug up, a Guan Gong statue is placed there to protect the bones.

The role of the Thunder God here should be no different from that of Guan Gong.

Thinking about this, Yuyan turned to look at Zhang Qiling again, "How fierce is the Thunder King God? What kind of god is he in charge of?"

Zhang Qiling turned to look at Yuyan, "Thunder King, specializes in defeating evil spirits."

In Yao and Miao mythology, many evil things are gods, and can stand on equal footing with the righteous gods.

The fat man made a "tsk" sound, took two thin sticks from the fire and inserted them into the incense burner, praying and saying words of blessing.

As a result, when he turned around, the thin firewood was top-heavy and caused the incense burner to fall over, and the incense ash was scattered all over the floor.

Wu Xie smiled as he looked at the flustered Fatty, "Look, I'm honest and upright, so I won't take your option."

The fat man snorted, broke the thin firewood in half and reinserted it.

Then use your feet to wipe away the spilled incense ash.

As he moved, the incense ash was spread and some strange lines appeared on the rock surface under his feet.

Yuyan quickly pulled the fat man away and called Wu Xie to come forward to check.

Because Wu Xie is a rubbing artist, he can understand these engraved items better than Yuyan.

Seeing the clue, Wu Xie also became excited. He poured all the incense ash on the rock and began to smear the ash with his hands.

Yuyan turned around and bowed to the Thunder God.

This damn kid just ruined someone's job without saying a word!

This is too disrespectful to God!

After the worship, the remaining few people also joined the team to apply incense ash.

Soon, a series of crooked traditional Chinese characters appeared before my eyes.

Yuyan didn't understand and turned to look at Wu Xie.

Wu Xie nodded, "This should be a whole paragraph. Give me some time."

Then start recognizing each word one by one.

Finally, he really translated it.

"November and the seventh day.

The east wall is seven feet from the left and has sixteen.

The west wall is three feet from the left and has seven.

The north wall is five feet from the left, and there are ten.

The south wall is six feet from the left and has four.

Count carefully, and we must dig it out and resume work within three days."
