When everyone saw the cave, including Lu Fei, they were attracted by the treasure given by the Sky Lantern, and temporarily put aside their hatred for Lao Qian. Since others have already dug here, the wolf demon has not returned, which means that it has been entangled by Qu Mo, and it is possible that it has already drunk the jar of Yin blood. If we don't hurry up and dig, we will be caught by the other party.
In terms of size and flexibility, Lu Fei was the best. He was not very tall and was thin like me. Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, he did not refuse and ran to get a shovel, a rope, and an iron bucket. We tied the rope around his waist and lowered him into the bottom of the cave.
Lu Fei had rested for a few days, and his energy had not fully recovered, but his strength had almost recovered. He picked up a shovel and started digging underneath, putting the excavated soil into an iron bucket, and we worked together to lift it up and dump it out.
When they were digging at first, they were afraid that the wolf demon would come back, so they all watched the outside as if they were facing a great enemy. But after more than 20 minutes, Lu Fei shouted from below, "It's been dug through!" At this time, there was no sign of a sudden storm outside like when the wolf demon came just now. Maybe it was killed by Qu Mo
Lu Fei shook the rope, and Wang Zijun and I let go of it, and then Lao Qian and Lao Yan fixed one end of the rope to the foot of the bed. This rope was prepared to be used to hold the coffin for Brother Lu Fei's burial tomorrow. It was very strong. You know, the coffin is very heavy, and the body weighs at least several hundred pounds, which is enough to withstand the weight of several of us.
I went down first to prevent Lu Fei from getting into trouble. I was worried about Shen Bing and Wang Zijun staying up there, so I asked them to follow me down, and finally, it was Old Qian and Old Yan.
Old Qian guessed that the treasure was buried three meters below the ground based on the legend, which seemed to be quite accurate. The group also located it very accurately. They found this point and dug more than three meters down. They probably used machinery to dig, otherwise we wouldn't feel the vibration. But at this point, two holes appeared, one from the south and one from the north. Damn it, they were two groups of people!
Lu Fei went down to the bottom first. When I came down, he turned off the flashlight and whistled. There was actually a cave below, which was beyond our expectation. We thought they had dug a pit to bury something, but unexpectedly they created a space like a tomb. It seems that when the official buried the sky lantern, he cherished it very much.
I whispered to Lu Fei, "Where are they?" As soon as I asked this question, I saw a faint light in front of me on the left. The group of people were inside.
"They may have discovered my flashlight. Should we go in boldly or wait and see?" Lu Fei asked me in a low voice.
While we were talking, Shen Bing and the others came down one after another. Before they could say anything, I turned on the flashlight, thinking that since we had already known each other, there was no need to hide anymore. I wanted to see who these people were.
This space was about the size of two houses, and it was empty, except for an eight-person table placed against the west wall, with a wooden box on the table. We were all shocked at the same time, thinking that the Sky Lantern Zhaoxin was probably in the box!
As the flashlight turned, a bright light flashed in the front left. There were only two people in that group, Su Yao and her husband Shan Mingshan. They were staring at us with sly smiles on their faces.
I ignored them and continued to turn the flashlight to look for the third party!
It's strange. There's no one else in the cave except Su Yao and Shan Mingshan. Didn't this bastard come in, or is there some other place to hide in the cave
