My heartbeat suddenly became chaotic. I looked back at Yu Wenying and said in a hoarse voice: "Can the commander of the Longxi Army not die?"

“…”

He didn't answer me.

This man was obviously very cautious. If he had not been fully confident, he would not be willing to say anything he doubted, but at this time, when he heard me say this, his eyes still flashed violently.

I stepped forward and said anxiously: "Is he not dead?"

Yu Wenying was silent for a while and said, "At least, he is not here."

“…”

"Didn't die here."

I gasped.

Since I first heard the legend of the Longxi Army, although I have developed many emotions, such as regret, respect, and even pity for this army, I have always been out of the matter and thought about their questions with an emotion that is just listening to a distant story.

But I never thought that there would be people living in this rumored army that had been destroyed.

Moreover, they are their commander.

To be precise, he should be one of my ancestors, because his surname is Zhu!

Turning around, I looked around. This deep cave that was not seen in the sky has been buried deep on the ground for a hundred years. Not only did no one know, but no one could even imagine that such a tragedy had happened here.

And why wasn't that commander here?

Did he not here at all, or did he escape?

Realizing that this person might have left here alive, or that he survived the massacre that led to the destruction of the Longxi Army, this story suddenly emerged from the smoke and dust of time, as if he suddenly turned from an illusory legend to reality.

If he is not dead, then he-

I looked at Yu Wenying and my voice trembled slightly: "Where will he be?"

When I asked this question, I was a little hesitant. This was a hundred years ago. This commander, who can be the commander of the Longxi Army, is at least a middle-aged man. How could he survive until now?

However, he cannot live now, his descendants...

Looking back at the strange altar in the center of the stone chamber, and the thick stone pillars pressing on the altar, each of which made me feel an indescribable pain.

Yu Wenying also looked back, but there was a bit of complex light flashing in his eyes.

He suddenly said, "Let's go."

"ah?"

I looked at him in surprise, and there was no response for a moment. He said, "We should leave."

“…”

Although I really don’t want to come down, there is nothing worth lingering here. Even if I stay here for a moment, I will feel more pain and discomfort. However, his sudden statement of leaving still made me hesitate.

I said, "That's it, leave?"

Yu Wenying looked at me, looked at the altar again, and said, "Of course we can still stay and find more clues, but our torches are almost unable to hold on."

I was shocked, and looked up again, and found that the torch in my hand was almost burned.

These torches have been stuck on the stone walls. They have been soaked in water for many years and have long been decayed, so they burn faster than ordinary torches. After igniting for a while, they have burned to a short piece.

I looked up at the place where we had just come down. At such a long distance, I still don’t know if this torch can support us to climb up.

Thinking of this, I hurriedly walked towards the stone steps.

"That's fast!"

Yu Wenying didn't say anything, and followed me with a torch.

However, when I really walked to the stone steps, I stopped again, looked back at the altar and stone pillars, climbed up the stone wall with one hand, hesitating and not moving.

Yu Wenying said: "What are Miss Yan still thinking?"

I looked back at him: "We'll come here once, can we just leave like this?"

"Miss Yan means—"

"Since this is a fierce formation, then what should we do?"

"You want to destroy this formation?"

I was actually not sure why I was unwilling to leave here at that moment, but now when I heard his words, I felt like I was being told in one sentence. My shoulders trembled slightly, and then I bit my lower lip and looked at him, silent.

Seeing that I had agreed, Yu Wenying was silent for a moment, and then said, "I can understand what Miss Yan means, but once we have less time left. I am the same as Miss Yan, and I cherish my life."

“…”

"Secondly, there are some things that should be done."

"What's the meaning?"

"This fierce formation," he looked back and said, "It was set up a hundred years ago. The facts have caused it. Even if we destroy this formation now, no one knows how much impact it will have on whom it will have."

I nodded gently.

He said again: "Besides, there may be some things we don't need to do."

I looked up at him: "What?"

He turned around and shook it with the torch in his hand, saying, "Have you noticed that stone pillar?"

I frowned and looked at the firelight. Then I realized that it was not only the torches in our hands, but also the huge stone pillar. Over the years, the water has risen and fallen, and it has been constantly infiltrating and eroding. Now that the lake water has fallen, the stone pillars are naturally different from usual.

Therefore, some cracks have appeared on the stone pillars.

Yu Wenying said: "The power of nature is the most terrifying and powerful force in this world."

Hearing him say this, I felt like a big stone was removed in my heart and said softly: "I understand, then let's go."

After saying that, he no longer delayed.

Because I have walked once before, climbing up is a bit difficult, but it is easier than the one just now.

Time lost its concept in such a place. When we finally climbed back to the entrance of the cave, I had no other feeling except for a little bit of force and even a little dizzy. When I turned around and reached out to grab Yu Wenying, I realized that the torch was extinguished at this time.

Suddenly, my eyes fell into a thick darkness.

Fortunately, Yu Wenying jumped up and climbed the entrance of the cave. I vaguely felt him hitting my shoulder. Both of them were frightened and gasped slightly.

I asked, "Mr. Yuwen, are you okay?"

He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay."

Although it was just two words, I also felt the kind of happiness of living in a desperate situation when he said. I thought this person could be calm and restrained at any time, but unexpectedly, at this time, his thoughts were leaked.

After all, people cherish their lives. No matter what happened before or what is a huge thing, what we value in the end is the life in front of us.

After resting in the dark for a long time, he said, "Miss Yan, let's go out."

"But, there is no light."

"It's okay, I can walk ahead and lead the way, just lead me."

"Um."

He still put his arm in front of me, and I rubbed and grabbed it, and then led him forward slowly.

Although it was pitch black and I couldn't see my fingers, I had walked in from outside once, and it was not that difficult to lead the way with him. But when I walked out the road, my mood had changed a lot.

As I walked, I suddenly said, "Mr. Yuwen."

"What's up?"

"How much do you know about the past?"

“…”

"You are so stubborn to look for this array eye. After you come down and see it, you will leave without doing anything. Do you already know something, and you are here just to prove something."

“…”

"For example, the commander of the Longxi Army did not actually die in this thousand-minded formation."

He didn't say anything and walked forward silently. I didn't ask. After saying these words, he followed him silently. After a long time, he heard a very light sigh coming from the front.

"Miss Yan is indeed extremely keen."

My breathing tightened: "So, do you really know?"

He chuckled again and said, "If I really knew, I wouldn't have made a special trip to this place, and ventured into the Qianjun Formation to confirm this."

"and you--"

"Miss Yan still remembers that when you followed Pei Yuanxiu to Yuwen Mansion, you met my grandfather."

I hurriedly said, "Of course I remember."

"Then do you remember what Xie Feng said to my grandfather."

“…”

I thought about it for a while and said, "He asked the old man who won the bet back then."

"No," he seemed to nod, his breath trembled slightly: "Do you know what their bet is?"

My breathing immediately became tense: "Is it related to this?"

"That's the sentence you know."

"That sentence I know?"

I frowned for me, but immediately, a flash of inspiration in my mind—

"The world is what those who wear red clothes get?!"

"good."

My mind was a little confused again, and I couldn't tell the clues about it for a while. While thinking intently, I followed him out. At this time, I finally saw light coming from the front.

When I looked up, I saw that the entrance of the cave was not far in front.

After walking in the darkness for so long, when I suddenly saw the light, the ecstasy in my heart chaoticized the thoughts in my mind. At this time, neither of us was at ease with speaking and speeded up and walked forward. After a while, we finally arrived at the entrance of the cave.

He helped me walk out of the narrow entrance, and looked up and it was dawn.

I realized that we had spent the whole night inside!

And just as the dazzling sunlight shone, I suddenly felt a little dazed and looked back at Yu Wenying: "Why did Xie Feng decide that his ancestor won?"
