Chapter 6.19 Place Mentioned in the Notes (Extra)

Forty-six years ago, a lot of bodies were piled up at the entrance of an underground river in Guangxi because of a war. One day, the yellow mud there gushed out continuously. After nearly ten thousand years of scouring, the bottom of the underground river had finally become very stable. There was no heavy rain at the time, which meant that the flowing yellow mud was a result of the underground river undergoing geological changes. Maybe a karst in the ten-thousand-meter underground cave had collapsed.

But according to my grandpa’s notes, someone sifted through the yellow mud and found that it was packed earth from an ancient tomb. Later, someone went down to the underground river and finally came back up with a bamboo tube. There was a letter inside that said they had gone about two or three miles down before everyone had gone blind.

The torches were still burning, but they couldn’t see any light.

I touched my chin as I remembered that Uncle Three had said in the Temple of Seeds that he had encountered a corpse cave near Taiyuan, but they didn’t go in at the time (1). As I looked at the notes, I realized that these events in Shanxi and Guangxi were very similar. I didn’t know if what Uncle Three had said at the time was really from grandpa’s notes and he had lied to me because he was afraid that I would go there.

This account was really similar to the place that Little Brother Zhang had mentioned, so I kind of knew why Poker-Face said the tomb couldn’t be robbed.

There were strange symbols at the entrance of the cave. Grandpa had drawn them in his notes, and I found that they looked like the Zhang family’s seal. The marks must have meant that the place was extremely dangerous and inaccessible.

The Zhang family must have tried multiple times but they all failed in the end. This kind of mark probably meant that those Zhang family members who went in didn’t come back.

If they couldn’t see, then what in the world was making them go blind? I hated myself for not knowing.

Guangxi, underground river, deep mountain, invisible wall, huge blind area.

Why did Little Brother Zhang and Poker-Face go in at that time? The Zhang family had been divided back then, so they must’ve had a special reason to go to this place at that time.

Was Black Glasses going for the same reason?

Just as I was thinking this, someone kicked my door in. Li Cu strode in, threw a stack of photos on the desk in front of me, and then leaned against the sofa that was pushed against the wall.

I glanced at them and found that they were all photos of Little Brother Zhang.
