On the way back, we started to discuss it anxiously. After all, it was all about the matter of the Ancient City of Face. No one expected that the old He family was actually the descendant of He He Heli, the founding minister of the former Qing Dynasty. This Ancient City of Faces had belonged to the He family in the past. It seemed that people should not behave like a person, and they were poor and rich until they were old.

And I was always thinking about what the entanglement between the old He family and the black cat, and why did they form a bond? Is it related to Nurhaci or Xingdi Seventh Duke? After thinking for a long time, I was at a loss and had no idea.

With a "gala", the car suddenly stopped. Although the car was not driving quickly, the sudden brakes and inertia were not small. Daya almost hit the front windshield glass because she was sitting in the passenger seat. Daya was so scared that she held the handle tightly with her hands and looked at Liu Ye in a panic: "Sister... sister, what are you... what have you seen?"

At this time, Liu Ye was still holding the steering wheel tightly with both hands, his face was pale, and his eyes were staring straight ahead, with a very terrifying expression.

I was also scared enough and quickly opened the rear door. Before I could get off, a cold wind squeezed in. It was probably the cold wind that blew the willow leaves awake. After a cold war, I turned around and called me, saying that nothing was wrong.

Liu Ye smiled at Daya and me apologized, explaining that she was shocked just now because she suddenly thought of something and then stepped on the brake unconsciously. When Daya and I heard her say this, we knew that what she was thinking of was definitely not an ordinary little thing, so we quickly asked her what was going on.

Liu Ye looked up at Daya and me, and then asked us: "Do you think the surname 'He' has something to do with the surname 'Xiang'?"

Daya and I don’t know what medicine she sells in the gourd, so we all shook our heads.

Liu Ye probably knew that this question was a bit wrong. After thinking about it, he said: "Uncle He said that the ancient city of False Face was given to He Heli by Nurhaci, so the ancient city of False Face should have a surname of 'He'. I accidentally remembered the 'Xiang Yi' in the sixth section of the poem "The False of October". Xiang Yi means that the name of the city lord should have a surname of 'Xiang', but do you think these two surnames have some relationship?"

Relationship? I lowered my head and thought for a moment, and suddenly realized that "What" and "Xing" are the relationship between splitting from the perspective of character structure. Is the words on the bead really related to the poem "The Fight of October"? This poem is really the key to solving the mystery? And does the location "Xiangyi" indicated in the poem refer to "ancient city with a face"?

After I said my guess uneasyly, Liu Ye nodded at me, acquiesced to my opinion, and then told us that she suspected that the "Early October Feast" on the beads meant the poem "The Feast of October". She could only speculate based on the word "Six" on the sixth bead in hand, and believed that it might refer to the sixth section in the poem. One of the places that appears repeatedly in this section is "Xiang Yi", that is, Xiang Cheng, but it has not been explained and cannot be understood. Now it seems that the "Xiang Yi" in the poem should refer to the "ancient city with a face".

Liu Ye saw that we listened very seriously and continued: "Whether from public or private, Nurhaci is very likely to hide some things in He Heli's city. From the perspective of "public", they were the five ministers who were the first to discuss politics, and they were above the four major belles, so they could take on this important task; from the perspective of "private", they were Nurhaci's eldest son-in-law and the person they trust most. If Nurhaci really had some very important things to hide, if they wanted to avoid his children, the best candidate would be He Heli."

Liu Ye’s statement is reasonable and concise. It seems that the obscure words on this bead are not just the days when the witch curse is fulfilled. Looking at it now, it seems that the more important secret of the bead is another reference. This matter is so profound and profound in cultural attainments, but it is not like Nurhaci can complete it with just one's own strength. Although Nurhaci is also familiar with Chinese literature and has been familiar with Romance of the Three Kingdoms, not to mention the poems in this ancient "Book of Songs", how many people can know about the heroic Jurchens of the Han people?

The inference about this "City of Xiangqi" was shocking enough and bold enough. For a moment, the car fell into death silence and no one said anything.

I coughed gently, breaking the dull atmosphere, and telling Liuye to start the car, destination, and face-like city.

After a while, we arrived at the Ancient City of Fallen Face. Our car happened to enter from the so-called west gate of the city. The city gate was just a bit cold. It was probably a gap that broke the old city wall in the past, and our car could barely enter.

Today, the city site is hard to find its former grandeur. The palaces with flying eaves and lingering on the ridges, and pavilions with carved beams and painted pillars have long been nowhere to be seen. The city has basically been cultivated into arable land, but the remaining bricks and tiles can still be found.

We looked around and shook our heads. Even if Nurhaci had something hidden here, it would have been missing and destroyed. This place was like a ruin. I was really disappointed with it, and I really didn't want it to be the so-called "Xiangyi". If it was really here, we could only accept our fate.

On the way back, we were a little disappointed. We didn't expect that the ancient city would be like this now. Even if it was really hidden here, it would have disappeared. After a while of discussion, we still felt that starting from the thieves at the moment, as for whether Xiangyi City is a slightly faced ancient city, it is estimated that the truth will be revealed soon.

We drove to Lishu County and bought some items we needed. Considering the nature of the hole we were going to stolen, we specially prepared some special tools. Liuye divided the things we needed into lighting equipment, food, drinking water, ropes and protective supplies, and wrote down everything we could think of.

We waited until dark and walked forward while the night was dark. After all, we didn’t know how long it would take to get out after entering the hole. A lonely car could easily cause suspicion. It would be better to have less trouble.

It took me nearly an hour to get to the place. I looked at the branches covered at the entrance of the hole and no one had ever come. We carefully checked the items we used to ensure that they were correct, and the three of us slid to the bottom of the hole in turn along the tied rope.

This vertical thief hole is only more than one meter wide, and the three people go down to be almost the same as face-to-face veneer. In order to avoid embarrassment, when I first got down to the bottom of the hole, I crawled into the small thief hole that led to the ancient city of the face. This small thief hole only allows one person to crawl, and if the movement is slightly larger, it will be bumped. Then I found that raiding tombs in the past also required certain basic qualities.

Because the hole is very narrow and can only crawl through, all three of us brought knee pads, elbow pads, gloves and safety helmets in advance. The professional mining safety helmet lamp uses high-capacity lithium-ion batteries, which is much worse than the military electric strong light flashlight. However, in this environment where we cannot turn around, it is much more convenient and at least we can free our hands.

I turned the lamp head up and down to correct the angle. After adjusting the headband tightly, I didn't say a word, and crawled in front with my butt.

Willow leaves followed me tightly, and the big teeth were at the end. The three of us didn't say a word, and crawled forward with gritted teeth. The crawling exercise was really a lack of exercise before. After crawling for a while, we would sweat on our faces and we were so tired that we couldn't speak. As for whether this kind of hole was safe and whether it would collapse inside, we had no idea.

On the map, we have estimated the length of this cave. If the destination is an ancient city with a face, the straight line distance is about 300 meters. At our crawling speed of two hours is almost the same. However, after we climbed for about half an hour, we were so panting that we couldn't climb anymore.

I thought that the road ahead was still far, and it was not a solution to be so hard. If I really overdraw my physical strength, it would be difficult to deal with it once I encountered some emergencies. Thinking of this, I turned around and waved my hand, signaling to stop and take a break.

I pulled out a small calcium carbide lamp from my carry-on bag and ignited it, and then the hole was gradually illuminated for a while.

We created this antique because this thing can not only illuminate, but the most important thing is that if there is a lack of oxygen in the hole, the color of the calcium carbide light will change significantly. We can also make preparations in advance and exit in time. Otherwise, maybe the air in the hole is not smooth, and it will be too late to withdraw when you find dizzy.

Liu Ye and Daya behind him were probably exhausted and were gasping for breath.

Big teeth gasped for a long time before asking me: "Come on...Let's light, what's the situation ahead? How far is it?"

I also gasped heavily. After taking out the compass and checking the direction, I calculated it in my mind, then lit a military flashlight and shone it forward. This time, the hole was dug straight and there was no bend. The light was swallowed by the darkness and could not be seen. Then I turned off the flashlight and told Daya that it was still far ahead, but our direction was always around twenty-five degrees northwest. If it was estimated that it was good, the direction should be the side of the ancient city.

Liuye took out the kettle and was about to drink some water, but it seemed that he had thought of something again, so he put it back. I happened to see it. My heart was laughing secretly. It was probably because she was thirsty and wanted to drink water. She also thought about how far she was before and how long she would have to climb. If she was rushing to urinate, it would be difficult for such a place to turn around. A big girl would definitely be inconvenient, so she still endured it.

I took out two hawthorn rolls from the side pocket of the bag, waved at Liu Ye, and then turned around and handed them to her carefully. Hawthorn is usually effective in dealing with heat and thirst. Although it may not be able to solve the actual problems, it can always solve the temporary thirst. Liu Ye was stunned and then understood what I meant, and turned his face red, and took it over.

After resting for about ten minutes, I turned off the calcium carbide lamp, packed up my things with the help of the cap lamp on my helmet, and asked Daya and Willow Leaves to continue moving forward.

This kind of climbing up and stopping, and it took nearly three hours to finally see that the front seemed to be in its head. I saw that there was another force coming from somewhere on my body. I quickly climbed closer and looked at it carefully. After reaching the end, there was a brick wall above my head, and a big hole had been dug, and we are now under this hole.
