I don’t know how long it took, but I said hoarsely: “Longxi Army – is it a life sacrifice?”

Yu Wenying himself trembled for a moment, and when he spoke, his voice became less like his own, and he said, "Maybe."

I said, "Before, some people said they had seen skeletons at the bottom of the lake. By the way, Miaoyan also said that he saw skeletons in the water that night. Is it the human bones of the person who was sacrificed for life?"

"Maybe it."

"That--"

I subconsciously looked around and the lake water here had completely disappeared, but I didn't see any skeletons around me.

Yu Wenying saw what I was looking for, and he said, "Even if there are really skeletons, they won't be on the ground."

"Not on the ground, is it underground?"

Yu Wenying didn't answer my question, but just looked around again and murmured: "We need to find the array eye first."

After saying that, he almost ignored the people behind him and walked forward again. I hesitated for a moment and shouted: "Mr. Yuwen, do you still need to find the eye of this 'Thousand-Jin Formation'?"

He turned around and saw me standing there with a melancholy look on my face, slowly walking back.

When he walked up to me, he said, "Miss Yan doesn't want to figure out what's going on here? Don't you want to know what's going on in this 'Qianjun Formation' of Living Life Sacrifice?"

“…”

I hesitated and didn't say anything. I looked at the stone pillars in front of me that were treated like tombstones, and my heart was in a mess for a while. After a long time, I said, "I, of course, don't want to know, but - this place is already very close to Wuwei. I don't want to see my daughter when it's so close to her."

Yu Wenying said: "Ms. Yan thinks there is danger here?"

"I can't convince myself that this place is safe."

"Miss Yan doesn't look like a person with a strange power and a mess."

"Mr. Yuwen wants to find the eye of this 'Thousand-Jin Formation', so what if he finds it? And, do you know what will be inside?"

"I can be careful about Miss Baoyan."

He said this and almost wanted to force me to go with him to find the formation eye.

I frowned, looked up at him, and said, "Why did Mr. Yuwen have to drag me into the water this time?"

He asked replies without answering: "With Miss Yan's nature, you should have to find out the truth about such a thing. Moreover, you have put yourself in danger more than once and have never been timid. Why have you been avoiding this time?"

“…”

His words can be said to be very rude.

After all, I didn’t know him very often. Although I had experienced some things, I didn’t know each other very well. He would actually say these words to me!

But I looked at him with a frown, but I was speechless.

Yu Wenying looked at my eyes seriously and said, "Miss Yan, sometimes, the questions in your heart are incomprehensible. Maybe the answer is within your reach, but because of your own contempt, I gave up."

“…”

"I think this matter is something that Miss Yan should not give up."

As we spoke, the sun set again.

And this time, the speed is faster than before. Perhaps it is because we are at this huge valley bottom. After the last ray of sunlight slowly disappeared from the entrance of the valley, the surrounding light and shadow suddenly darkened.

A gust of wind blew from the valley entrance.

These wooden stone pillars remained towering in the wind, really like cold tombstones. The sound of the wind was sobbing, as if telling the tragedy that happened here a hundred years ago and the grievances that the bones in the underground had suffered.

I just feel cold sweat in my palms.

Seeing that we were standing in front for a long time without any movement, Susu and Du Yan were a little uneasy. Susu stepped forward and said softly: "Miss, let's go tonight-"

I raised my hand to stop her from continuing, looked at Yu Wenying and said, "Do you promise, can you protect me well?"

Yu Wenying smiled faintly and said, "Actually, Miss Yan's fate is extremely precious. It is not that she is protecting you well, but that she has to rely on you to escape from such a fierce formation."

“…”

"This is why I'm waiting for you here for several days."

Although his words may not be good, they are more at ease than his direct promise to protect me.

However, he actually waited for me here because of this.

I couldn't help but glance at him and said, "What if I don't leave here this time?"

"Princess Miaoyan is in Wuwei. Miss Yan will definitely come back no matter what. Even if Miss Yan really doesn't leave here, isn't there any Princess Miaoyan?"

My heart moved: "You said, wonderful words?"

"The fate of Your Highness is even more expensive than Miss Yan."

“…”

"Miss Ruoyan is just here, so I might really go to Wuwei to find Princess Miaoyan."

This man said what he said was as if we were his amulets.

I didn't want to get stuck in this matter anymore, so I asked, "Then, where is the array eye of this 'Thousand-Jin Formation'?"

"I'll look for it for a while," he said, looking at Su Su and Du Yan and others behind me, and then said, "Miss Yan asked them to settle down at this valley entrance first. The matter of finding the array eye has nothing to do with them."

I was stunned and said, "You mean, there are only two of us?"

"Um."

"Don't even want someone who comes to protect us?"

He said, "Miss Yan thinks, who else do you need to protect you?"

“…”

I looked back again.

Du Yan and his men are indeed very capable guards, but they are indeed a little worse than experts like Yu Wenying. If Yu Wenying already has Yu Wenying, there is really no need for anyone else to protect me.

I thought about it, then turned around and told them to settle down.

Susu and Du Yan were of course worried. They both fought with me for a long time, but in the end they could only listen to me and stayed in this place. I held a torch in my hand and walked towards the bottom of the valley with Yu Wenying, who was holding a compass in my hand. Susu kept reminding me behind me: "Miss, you must be careful!"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! I waved at her with my backhand and walked forward.

It was already dark by this time.

Walking in this place with stone pillars is really like walking in a maze. Especially Yu Wenying kept looking at the compass, turning left and right, sometimes after walking for most of the day, she found that she still walked back to the starting point.

I wanted to remind him several times, but it was difficult to speak out according to his appearance.

I can only follow him slowly.

It was getting deeper and soon it was time to reach out and I could not see my fingers. There was only a torch in my hand, shining on the dense stone pillars around me. The light and shadow flashed. Every time I took a step, countless black shadows seemed to fly over me. Several times, I was frightened by this illusion, and my feet were so weak that I could hardly walk. It was Yu Wenying who let out a hand to support me and continue walking forward.

Breathing and heartbeat appear particularly small and clear in this place.

After a long time and going back to the origin, I felt more and more uneasy, but when I looked up at Yu Wenying, he seemed to have no intention of being anxious at all. Instead, he nodded and followed the pointing on the compass.

I followed him, thought for a while, and said, "Mr. Yuwen."

"Hmm?" He responded to me without looking back.

"Have Mr. Yuwen always knew that there was such a formation at the bottom of the lake?"

"..." His steps paused slightly, continued to move forward without looking back, and said, "I don't know there is a formation here, but I know that if the Longxi Army is destroyed, something unusual must have happened in this place."

"So you've been here every year for the years to find the truth?"

"In order not to let the truth be obscured."

I looked at his back and felt a little moved for a moment.

As the saying goes, wealth is only three generations, but the same is true for feelings. Even myself, to my grandfather and even to my grandfather who live among many people, have less profound feelings. I ask myself that I am not a cold person, but this is how people are. Meeting is love. Once we no longer meet, the deepest feelings will gradually fade.

However, Yu Wenying has been doing what he can for the Longxi Army that was destroyed a hundred years ago.

Every year, we come all the way to pay homage.

Even, I have been waiting for the day when I have "find the truth".

It may be understandable if he had any contact with the people of the Longxi Army, but in fact, on the day of his birth, the Longxi Army had already been destroyed, but it was just that he had contact with his ancestors many years ago.

It's really not easy for him to do this.

I whispered: "It's hard for Mr. Yuwen."

He seemed to chuckled, but his smile was a coldness that was completely different from what he did, and said, "It's not difficult."

Speaking of this, I didn't bother him, but just followed him quietly. I didn't know how long I had walked in this stone forest. When I looked back, I could no longer see the entrance of the valley, and I couldn't even see the bonfire lit by Su Su and the others.

Who knows where we are coming.

Even though there was such a master around me, I couldn't help feeling a little uneasy. Just as I was about to say something, Yu Wenying suddenly said, "I have it!"

When I heard this, my heart was also thrust and I hurried forward: "Where?"

He stood there, holding the compass and lifted up straight, and his other hand was in the direction pointed by the compass, pointing his index finger and middle finger in front of him.

I walked to him and looked forward in the direction of his finger—

In front of us, there is a towering mountain wall. At this time, it is like a barrier blocking us, and there is a huge cave on the mountain wall!

Perhaps because of the water flowing, there are thick ice layers condensed around the cave, especially on the cave, there are even sharp ice edges hanging.
