The screams almost reached my throat, but an indescribable sense of depression made my throat stammer and I couldn't scream.

My face was flushed and my eyes were staring at the skeleton.

Yu Wenying also saw it, and he rushed over and protected me with one hand.

The screams I just screamed in the cave. I don’t know how far it had been, and the sounds were endless. Coupled with my heavy breathing and my heartbeat that was about to pop out of my chest, I almost felt the illusion of the earth shaking.

Yu Wenying didn't bother me, but just comforted me in a deep voice: "Don't be afraid, it's okay."

I couldn't speak, and my disordered breathing left me without even the strength to move.

Yu Wenying took the torch in my hand and looked over. The terrifying scene made me unable to help but want to close my eyes, but I was even more afraid of the darkness after closing my eyes, so my eyes could only follow the light unconsciously.

"This, this is—"

No need to ask what this is. When the fire light shone, I could see it more clearly. This is a skeleton, and it is not an ordinary corpse. The skeleton is a little black, and half of it is frozen in the layer of ice below, only the skull and some other parts are exposed.

Yu Wenying thought for a while, then said, "If we were not mistaken, this should be the corpse of the Longxi Army soldiers who were buried here back then."

My heartbeat was a little heavier: "Longxi Army..."

"Yes," he said, raising the torch around it, and then said, "This cave is the eye of the array I just measured. Obviously, it is also the place where the lake came out of the water before. The corpse is under the Qianjun Formation. It should be because the lake water surges out every year, so these corpses are brought out. Every year when it falls into the water, the corpse will flow back to the cave with the water."

So, the skeleton was not lying on the ground, but was frozen in the ice.

Looking at my scared pale face, Yu Wenying reached out to support me: "Miss Yan, get up."

I was so scared that my legs and feet were weak. He helped me stand up. I looked at the dark cave ahead again, and couldn't help but tremble. A skeleton had appeared in this place. Then go forward...what else will be ahead?

Feeling that I was about to retreat, Yu Wenying said, "Miss Yan, I have come here."

“…”

"We'd better keep moving forward."

“…”

"The more this happens, the closer we may be to the truth."

“…”

His last sentence made me tremble for a moment.

the truth.

Yes, the truth is often buried in such a place, and I have already learned a little about the truth about the destruction of the Longxi Army. I even think that it is mostly, but there are some truths. Maybe we still need to come to this place to truly understand.

Thinking of this, I bit my lower lip and forced myself to develop some courage.

"good!"

Seeing me like this, Yu Wenying breathed a sigh of relief and still put her arm in front of me: "Come on, help me go."

This time I didn't take the torch, but just grabbed his arm and followed him slowly forward. After only taking two steps, I subconsciously looked back at the black skeleton.

"Mr. Yuwen."

"Um?"

"Mr. Yuwen told me before that the Longxi Army was destroyed here overnight, so you have been here to pay tribute to them over the years. The old man also hopes that you can find out the truth about the destruction of this army that year."

"Yes."

"Don't Mr. Yuwen really don't know at all?"

“…”

"If he doesn't know, then what is the bet between him and Xie Datong?"

Yu Wenying frowned slightly and turned around and looked at me.

"Miss Yan said this, you seem to know what you already know?"

"I don't know more than Mr. Yuwen. However, because the students of Jixian Palace compiled official history, they obtained some records about the Imperial Heavenly Prison in the previous dynasty. A student happened to see a sentence in the Imperial Heavenly Prison calendar and told me."

I felt his breath sink suddenly.

He stopped and turned to look at me: "What is it?"

I said, "The world is what those who wear red clothes get."

His eyes flashed with the flames swaying on the torch. After a long time of silence, he did not speak, but slowly turned around and continued to walk forward. After a while, he heard him say, "So you knew it long ago."

“…”

"I thought that people wouldn't know about this at all."

"So, Mr. Yuwen has been hiding it from me before?"

"..." He was silent for a moment, and while walking forward, he said, "Miss Yan would like to forgive me. Not many people knew about this matter back then. After a long time, with the deliberate concealment and destruction, these matters are rarely known. I don't want too many people to know about it."

"Why?"

"No, Grandpa doesn't want this to be true."

"Is the Red Clothes really the Longxi Army that year?"

“…”

He was silent for a long time and said slowly: "At least from that bet, Xie Datong may have won."

I frowned and looked at his back.

What's the meaning?

Just as I was about to ask, Yu Wenying suddenly said, "Be careful!"

My spirit was already very tense. As soon as he said "Be careful", my hair all over my body stood up. I looked forward by crossing his shoulders, and I was so scared that I almost screamed.

The ground was covered with dry bones!

I just saw just a skeleton. There are much more places than I just now. There are skulls and bodies, frozen in the ice layer on the ground, and it is obviously flowing along the water to this place.

There are so many skeletons here.

Yu Wenying's breathing was much heavier than before. He held up the torch and slowly illuminated the road ahead. The dry bones on the ground were creepy. He said in a deep voice: "It seems that we are very close to there."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Although I was so scared that I forgot to breathe, I still asked: "Where? Where?"

He didn't say anything, but said in a deep voice: "Be careful."

Although they were some dry bones, they were the soldiers who had protected the stability of the northwest and fought bloody battles. The corpses were already very pitiful in such a place. So I carefully stepped on the gap between the dry bones, trying not to touch them, and walked over slowly.

Unexpectedly, the more you go forward, the more you have such dry bones, and in the end, it is almost difficult to even step down.

And I raised my head and watched the torch illuminate the place not far ahead. I vaguely felt that the cave seemed to have reached its end.

I said hoarsely, "What is that in front?"

Yu Wenying also saw it.

Feeling my voice trembling, he stopped by himself, and I staggered and almost bumped into him to head north. Yu Wenying looked back at me and said, "Miss Yan, I promise that I can protect you well. No matter what I see later, don't be afraid."

“…”

Even though he said that, I was even more panicked.

Because in just a few steps, I saw the light of the flames shining in front, and a black hole appeared. There was no such cave in front of me. What would it be?

What will I see later?

Fear and curiosity are all uncontrollable natures. As we move forward, my heart seems to be struggling in such conflicts and entanglements, but I still can't stop it and move forward step by step.

Going to the truth.

Under the flames, the darkness was getting closer and closer. Although the cave was covered with ice and had already made our hands and feet cold, at this time, I was sweating all over.

Finally, I reached the end of this cave.

Yu Wenying walked in front and looked forward with the torch in her hand, but she still failed to illuminate the way forward. He took a tentative step and heard the sound of stones rolling away. Then, he stopped immediately.

"What's wrong?"

I asked subconsciously and took a step forward.

As soon as he took this step, Yu Wenying immediately raised her hand to stop me. I was blocked by him and stopped immediately, but when she looked forward, she was so shocked that she gasped.

There is no way ahead!

Our feet were empty!

I was so scared that I immediately took a step back and hurriedly reached out to support the stone wall next to me. Yu Wenying lowered her voice and said, "Miss Yan, be careful."

The crackling sound of the little stone sounded for a long time, as if it was a burst of echoes. When it finally stopped, I didn’t know how far it was.

I said nervously: "What is ahead?"

Yu Wenying took a deep breath and then looked forward the torch in her hand.

It was not until this time that we could see clearly.

In front of me, there was a huge stone chamber.

No wonder it was already pitch black when the fire just shone here, because there was no way to see the head in front of us, and we could only barely see the surroundings. The end of our cave was just on the mountain wall, and it was still a long distance from the top of the cave, and the distance from the bottom of the cave was also very high.

Fortunately, he didn't go out rashly just now, otherwise he would have fallen to pieces.

I asked nervously, "How come there is such a place here?"

Yu Wenying didn't say anything. His eyes were never as nervous as it was at this moment. Sweat even dripped from his forehead. He looked around with a torch for a long time, then looked forward and suddenly said, "I finally know why I have to set up a thousand-pound formation in this place."

"What?"

I couldn't understand, but I saw him looking straight ahead and looked along his gaze.

After seeing this, I was stunned again.

I just thought this was just an empty stone chamber. Now the fire light was faintly illuminating a huge black shadow in front of me. After a closer look, I realized that there was a huge rock pillar in the stone chamber, extending down from the top of the cave, like a sharp sword, penetrated directly below.
