I sat back on the kang, and Ye Yang was still standing in the room.

I lit a pipe and said, "Tell me about the Dead Man's Groove?"

Niu guarded the bloody corpse and said: "Three generations of my family have stayed in this village and made a living by working as carpenters. My father can do all kinds of carpentry, but my father only makes coffins."

"Before I was ten years old! My family has always been peaceful. Life was good. My father had no other problems except for his habit of collecting big money."

I interrupted when I heard this: "Tell me, your father collects big money. What kind of big money does he collect?"

Niu Bao turned around and opened the kang mat, dug out a package from a corner of the kang, took out a handful of copper coins used by ancient people, and brought it to me.

I randomly picked one up and smelled it: "This is a dead man's money!"

"Yes! The big money my father got back was all about this kind of thing." Niu Bao said: "At that time, no one knew that he was taking money from home."

"When I was ten years old, my father went into the Dead Man's Trench for some unknown reason and never came back. My father also went up the mountain to find my father. The night my father left, all the cemeteries near the village were filled with people.

It was dug up and all the dead man's money was lost."

"I have always suspected that my father dug those graves."

"My father came back after going up the mountain. He told me that my father would never come back, so he took me to build a tomb for my father. From then on, we have been together and dependent on each other."

Hearing this, I interrupted the other party again: "You mean, your father has been in the Dead Man's Trench?"

"I don't know!" Niu Bao shook his head and said, "My father never mentioned to me what he saw after going up the mountain. When I asked, he said the time hadn't come yet."

"Later, when the time came, my father also lost it."

"The timing my grandfather mentioned was actually when a boss in our village dug coal and dug through the Dead Man's Trench."

Ye Yang and I looked at each other: "How do you know?"

Ye Yang also said in a deep voice: "Are you sure?"

According to the information the Meng family gave me, the location of Dead Man's Valley should be deep inside the Anling Mountains. However, the village Niu Bao saved was outside the mountains.

How far can an individual mining boss drive the coal mine? Ten kilometers up the mountain, or twenty kilometers? At this distance, let alone touching the Dead Man's Valley, even the periphery of the Dead Man's Valley cannot be reached?

When that boss mines coal, can he still dig through half of Anling?

Niu Bao nodded and said: "At least, that's what my grandfather said! My grandfather said that if you must go to the Death Valley, let me read a letter to you."

Niu Bao dug out a wax-sealed envelope from the package.

There are three lines of regular script written in calligraphy on the front of the envelope:

Gentlemen, please do not read this letter.

If you are not a Coffin Sect member, please do not read this letter.

If you don't swear to die in a ditch, don't read this letter.

Although the writer's handwriting is neat, there is a hint of murderous intent in every stroke, which is a warning.

Anyone who cannot do these three things he mentioned will definitely die after reading the letter he left behind.

I tore open the envelope, took out the letter paper inside, spread it flat on the kang, and read it slowly.

The heir to the coffin sect, Niu Tianlu, has met his fellow sect member:

As a sorcerer, I shouldn't use secret techniques rashly. However, in order to protect the incense of my Niu family and to avenge the murder of my son, I would rather have my hands full of blood and fall into hell after death.

The Wei family mined and dug through the gate of the Dead Man's Trench, and raised the corpses alive to prevent disasters for my grandson, all of which were done by me. I alone bear the responsibility for the indiscriminate killing of innocent people.

Friends, if you want to enter the Dead Man's Trench, you can follow my grandson's guidance and find the secret map left by me. But please also protect my grandson's life.

Niu Tianlu was grateful.

I closed the letter and said, "Your grandfather left a clue?"

"Leave it, I can take you to find it." Niu Bao agreed immediately.

He was able to agree so readily because he either had no scheming or was fearless and not afraid of Ye Yang and I going back on our word.

Judging from the letter left by Niu Tianlu, I am more inclined to the latter.

Niu Tianlu was blunt about his indiscriminate killing of innocent people in the letter, which shows that he still had some backup plans. Maybe, after I find the clues, only Niu Bao will be able to understand what the clues mean!

I can only keep Niubao!

When I thought of this, I held Niu Bao down and said, "Don't worry, tell me, how did your father trick the mine owner in the first place?"

Niu Bao shook his head and said, "If I hadn't seen this letter, I really wouldn't have known that my father was responsible for the deaths of people in the Wei family."

"Before you came here, I always thought that it was my father who was kind enough to save people, and that was why he suffered such misfortune. Now I see, that's not the case at all!"

Niu Bao took another sip of wine before saying: "Don't leave in a hurry, I will tell you what happened back then."

"After my father left, my father and I were left to depend on each other. From that time on, my father quietly taught me Kung Fu. But, I didn't know that he just wanted to teach me the secret technique."

"It was the year after my dad passed away! A boss in our village named Wei Daqiang opened a coal mine in the mountain, and many people worked in the mine."
