I asked Miss Bai to follow me closely and looked around with an oil lamp. I saw that this was indeed a stone room. It was a large space with traces of digging on the four walls. There were also several wall urns, which should have been where lamps were originally placed.

But only the oil lamp and flint were in the urn I touched earlier, and the rest were empty.

"If this stone chamber was dug by the Eighth Route Army back then, I think it was to store something extremely important..."

I pointed at the stone wall and said, "Look, there are copper and iron walls here. As long as there is one person guarding the entrance, no one can come in, huh?..."

I suddenly discovered that there was another hole in the corner of this stone room. I walked over and saw that the hole was very small and completely dark inside. The flame of the oil lamp trembled slightly, indicating that there was airflow coming from the hole.

"This hole should be naturally formed." I said, "This stone chamber is dug here, and with the help of this natural hole for ventilation, I think this hole should lead to the outside. However, this hole is too small, and people cannot get through...

"

We searched every corner of the stone room and found nothing unusual. We really don’t know why the man on the ground lived here or the cause of his death.

"Ignore him." I took a deep breath and said, "This guy didn't eat the food he prepared, but left it for us. My intestines are almost broken by hunger..."

After saying that, I tore open a plastic bag with force, and a smell of meat came out, which made me so greedy that I almost fainted. I grabbed a piece of bacon, smelled it, stuffed it into my mouth, and devoured it.

"A heartless guy just cares about eating for himself," Miss Bai said.

"Eat later."

I closed my eyes, sensed it for a moment, opened my eyes and smiled slightly, "There's nothing wrong with the meat quality, just eat it."

Only then did Miss Bai understand why I rushed to eat first.

Both of them were starving. Miss Bai said that there was no need to pretend to be a lady in front of me. The food was covered in meat residue, which made me dumbfounded. After wolfing down their stomachs, the two of them looked at each other and were both "messed" by each other.

His face was so funny that he couldn't help laughing.

I wanted to make fun of him, but suddenly I thought that there was a dead person here. His unscrupulous jokes were disrespectful to the dead, so I stopped. We found two bottles of mineral water in this person's travel bag and drank one bottle from each. This is the real thing.

After eating and drinking enough, we began to feel tired. We decided to rest for a while before looking for an exit.

Far away from the dead man, we sat back to back. Because we were really tired, we were not interested in talking. Listening to the faint sound of dripping water, my consciousness became more and more hazy...

Suddenly, I seemed to hear a "whooshing" sound. I woke up in surprise and accidentally knocked out the oil lamp.

"What's wrong?" Miss Bai also woke up.

"Shh... don't make a sound..."

I pricked up my ears and listened carefully, and I felt that the sound seemed to be coming from the direction of the vent, as if something was trying to get through.

My head started buzzing, and I said urgently, "Something is coming!"

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a "whoosh" and there was something new in the stone room.

I reacted very quickly and pulled Miss Bai behind me. Just as I was about to attack the thing, I was grabbed by Miss Bai.

"Xiao Hei." Miss Bai called.

In the darkness, the thing grunted and rushed over, but it was a dog. I lit the oil lamp and saw that it was Xiao Hei.

"This...how is it?" I asked in surprise.

Xiao Hei surrounded Miss Bai and howled and had fun. Miss Bai wiped her tears and fed him a piece of meat.

Xiao Hei seemed to be injured and was limping. Unfortunately, he couldn't speak and couldn't tell us what happened.

I was in a state of confusion. Originally, I wasn’t in a hurry to go out. I thought that there was food and drink here, and it wouldn’t matter if I stayed with Miss Bai for ten days and a half. I even had some wild thoughts. Now I looked at this

The black dog suddenly appeared and was injured. Thinking of Xiang Feng, Yang Shujun and the others, he immediately became worried.

"Come on, let's go out and search quickly to see if there is an exit."

When we came outside, under the illumination of the oil lamp, we finally saw the whole cave clearly. We saw slogans everywhere on the cave wall, and there were many traces of smoke and fire. It really looked like an arsenal.

After wandering around, we saw that the place where the exit should have been had been blown up. We tried to remove two stones and suddenly found a yellow book. The cover of the book seemed to be made of leather such as cowhide.

, very intact.

When I opened it, I saw that the paper inside was moldy and could not be recognized clearly. The first few pictures showed some scrawled gun patterns, and they also marked where and what size, etc. It seemed that this book should have been left behind by the Eighth Route Army.

.

When I turned to the next page, the pattern suddenly changed and turned into a gossip. I couldn't help but be stunned and thought I had read it wrong.

"Yuxin, come closer to the oil lamp and turn it on brighter."

I took a closer look under the light and found that the painting was indeed a Bagua. After I saw the full picture of the Bagua, I was shocked. The Bagua drawn on the paper was actually the same as the one dug out of the ancestral grave of Xiaoqing's family.

Exactly the same.

Miss Bai was also stunned, "Look back and look."

There is no pattern at the back. It seems to be a work diary, with scrawled traditional Chinese characters. It is vaguely identifiable. What is recorded in the front is some miscellaneous data, such as grenade handles, how many pieces are produced daily, and shells, how many pieces are produced daily.

It seems that this is not really an arsenal, just a 'small workshop' that processes weapon parts.

Sure enough, the following page records that after receiving orders from superiors, the original Eighth Route Army ×× Military Industrial Parts Manufacturing Point was cancelled, and the Eighth Route Army Eighth Army Industrial Manufacturing Base was established...

Next is the project record:

‘April 16, the engineering company’s excavation work is progressing smoothly...’

'On the night of April 19th, Master Xu detected that there was a stone room hidden in the heart of the mountain...'

Seeing this, I thought to myself, the Master Xu here is definitely not Commander Xu, but the abbreviation of Engineer, the engineer who commands the digging of mountains and tunnels. I just don’t know what kind of detection equipment the engineers use, given the rudimentary conditions of the Eighth Route Army. As for

I wonder if the stone chamber mentioned here is the one we discovered earlier. Could it be that it was not dug by the Eighth Route Army, but that it originally existed in this mountain?

This page of records is gone here. Turn to the next page, which contains detailed records about the stone chamber:

"Master Xu used the Yin Yang and Five Elements skills to determine the location, dug all the way, and finally saw a room..."

Seeing this, I finally realized, and I was a little dumbfounded. It turned out that Engineer Xu did not rely on advanced equipment to explore mountains and dig holes, but the art of Yin Yang and Five Elements!

'...The room is dry, there is a wind tunnel, a secret door...a Yin-Yang Bagua disk, with a picture on the front...'

My heart suddenly brightened. Could it be that the wooden bagua originally belonged to that stone room?…

Looking further back:

'On the morning of April 20th, I received an urgent notice from my superiors, ordering an immediate halt to the progress of the project and the troops to be transferred immediately...'

It’s gone here. Judging from this last record, some kind of emergency must have occurred at that time. The arsenal was originally going to be expanded here, but the project was forced to stop and even the troops were moved. What happened at that time?…

Miss Bai and I looked at each other, both of our faces a little pale, as if there was a strange air current circling around us. The little black man was very human and felt the changes in our emotions, so he lay there without making a sound.

.

"Something unusual must have happened at that time." I whispered.

"Yeah." Miss Bai nodded.

"Look at the record above..."

I turned to the previous page, "The stone chamber was discovered on the night of April 19th. On April 20th, I received an emergency notice from my superiors early in the morning. Then the project was stopped and the troops were transferred..."

"And the entrance and exit of the arsenal were also blown up." Miss Bai said.

"But why didn't the 'sewer' we entered through blow up?" I wondered, "Also, how did the man in the stone room know that there was an underground passage in Stone Village? What was his purpose of living in it?"

Miss Bai frowned and said, "I think... he prepared so much food to stay here for a long time, maybe he is looking for something."

"Looking for something?"

I was startled, could it be that I was looking for this book? But then I thought it was impossible, this book had no practical value at all... No! I quickly turned forward and reached the page with the Eight Diagrams, and my heart skipped a beat.

Shen. This Eight Diagrams painting is very detailed. The symbols on it that Master described as mantras seem to have been copied on it as they were...
Chapter completed!
