Li Zhiyi didn't want to waste time. Her original intention in coming to Thailand was to find clues about her master, not to play around.
"You guys go back to the hotel. I need to go back to the mountains to look for clues."
"Sister-in-law, it's so late, it's too dangerous for you to go out alone!"
Li Zhiyi knew that Gu Nianzhi was worried about her safety, but she still insisted on going to the cemetery in the mountain to look for clues about her master. She went during the day, and she felt that she had missed some important information.
"Yes, Miss Li, how about we go with you tomorrow?"
"It's okay, I'll go by myself."
Seeing that she was determined, Gu Siye said firmly, "No! I'll go with you. Nianzhi and A'che should go back to the hotel to rest. Mr. Chen, please take them back to the hotel."
"Brother, I want to go with you too. Besides, that hotel isn't safe. I might as well go with you." Gu Nianzhi pouted and said unhappily.
Fu Yanche also said, "Yes, Si Ye, why don't we all go?"
"You can't help me even if you go, I'll be fine going by myself."
When Gu Nianzhi and Fu Yanche heard her say that, they knew that they were just ordinary people and that she had to take care of them when they encountered danger in the mountains. They didn't know what to do.
"How about this, your sister and Mr. Fu can rest at my house, while Miss Li and President Gu go out on business. That way, you won't have to worry about their safety," Chen Zhihe suggested.
Li Zhi thought this was acceptable, since she was a little worried about Gu Nianzhi and Fu Yanche being alone in the hotel.
"Nianzhi, you and Fu Yanche can rest here. Don't go back to the hotel. I promise I'll be back soon."
In the end, Gu Nianzhi and Fu Yanche stayed at the Chen family. Li Zhiyi couldn't refuse Gu Siye, so he had to agree to take him into the mountains.
This time, Gu Siye was driving. He has a very good memory and can remember the place after traveling it only once.
What should have been an hour's journey, Gu Siye somehow arrived at the foot of the mountain in just ten minutes. This was because Li Zhiyi had started the ghost cart, and she wanted to get to the cemetery as quickly as possible to find clues.
As soon as the two got out of the car, they felt a thick fog ahead, and they couldn't see the outline of the scene a meter away. Although Gu Siye knew that this premonition was not good, he knew that he had no reason to stop the other party from finding a master.
Li Zhiyi sensed that there seemed to be a Mist-Hidden Ghost causing trouble in the fog. As the name suggests, a Mist-Hidden Ghost is a ghost created from fog. This kind of Mist-Hidden Ghost is not malevolent, but it uses fog as cover, making it easy for people to lose their way. It specifically uses dense fog to lure passersby into the underworld and take away the souls of those who have lost their way.
"Come here, I'll tie this red rope around your wrist so you don't get lost and I have to look for you." Li Zhiyi held a red rope in his hand. Although Gu Siye thought it was childish, he obediently let Li Zhiyi tie one end of the rope around his wrist.
"Alright, remember, don't untie the rope." After saying that, Li Zhiyi strode forward, with Gu Siye following closely behind her.
Originally expecting something strange to happen, Li Zhiyi arrived at the cemetery without any obstacles. Once there, he found the spot he had visited during the day and looked at the black tombstone in front of him. Strangely, this time there was a woman's photo on the black tombstone.
This woman was none other than Li Zhiyi.
Gu Siye noticed this as well, and was startled! He looked at Li Zhiyi with a scrutinizing gaze.
Li Zhi shook his head at him, and Gu Siye understood immediately without asking any further questions.
Li Zhiyi squatted down and touched his photo. Suddenly, he slapped the photo with his palm. The photo on the tombstone shattered with a cracking sound, and the tombstone was lifted into the air, creating a large hole in the ground.
Looking at the cave entrance, which was large enough for one person to go down, Li Zhi decided to go down and see what was inside.
Gu Siye stopped him, saying, "Don't go down. I think this is a conspiracy." Otherwise, why were there no photos during the day, but suddenly there are photos and a cave? It's clearly a trap.
"Why don't you go down? I can save you if you're in danger." Li Zhiyi said casually, and to everyone's surprise, the man agreed.
"Hmm." After saying that, Gu Siye jumped directly into the cave.
There was nothing unusual about the red rope in Li Zhiyi's hand. This red rope was no ordinary red rope; it was a magical artifact from the Taoist sect, a demon-binding rope that could extend infinitely. But why hadn't he come up yet after waiting for a while?
"Gu Siyue, Gu Siyue, can you hear me?"
With no response, Li Zhiyi grew anxious. Had something really happened? He decided to go down and investigate. "Young Master Gu, Gu Siyue, where are you?"
Just as Li Zhiyi was extremely anxious, Gu Siye suddenly appeared in front of her: "Why are you shouting so loudly?" For some reason, he could tell from her tone that she was very anxious and worried about her safety.
This gave him a sense of satisfaction, which is why he thought of teasing her.
"You scared me to death!" Li Zhiyi said, patting his chest.
Gu Siye reached out and handed something to Li Zhi. "I found this in the cave. See what it is."
Li Zhiyi reached out and took it. It was a square velvet box. Li Zhiyi tried to open it but couldn't. In the end, she threw it on the ground, and the box shattered into pieces.
There was only a note inside. Li Zhi picked it up and read: "I knew you would look for me, you silly child, you actually found your way here. Now go find Master Xuanzhen. Remember, you must trust your own judgment."
Li Zhiyi's eyes widened in surprise. "This is my master's handwriting!"
Gu Siye also leaned closer to take a look, and there was only this one sentence on the note.
Li Zhi pondered this repeatedly, "What exactly does this sentence mean? My master told me to go find this Xuanzhenren, yet he also told me to trust my own judgment. What do you think my master meant by this? Don't you think it's contradictory?"
"Yes, it's not contradictory."
"What do you mean? Explain yourself."
Gu Siye thought for a moment and replied, "I think your master's meaning is very clear. First, he asked you to find this Xuan Zhenren, but he also asked you to trust your own judgment. This means that your master is not sure whether Xuan Zhenren is a good person or a bad person, or whether he will help you. That's why he said that last sentence."
Li Zhi thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, you make a good point. My master might not be sure if this person will help me, so he told me to trust my own judgment."
