Unbeknownst to Grandpa Du and the others, after leaving the shed, Ye Weiwei quickly slipped into the mountains and forests alone, following the route he had indicated.
The group that kidnapped Old Master Qin and injured Old Master Du consisted of five people. Although she didn't know how many accomplices they had, Ye Weiwei believed that with her current abilities, she could handle them no matter how many accomplices they had.
The most important thing now is to find Old Master Qin and rescue him. Every minute that person stays in those people's hands increases their danger.
Therefore, she couldn't wait for Huo Xiao and her uncle to arrive with their men.
As soon as she entered the mountains, Ye Weiwei was like a fish entering water, and her entire aura changed.
With her mental energy fully activated, she quickly located the scene of the incident and then, following the information relayed by the plants, rushed there.
After that group of people captured Old Master Qin, they tied him up tightly, covered his head with a black cloth, and took him back to their stronghold.
When Gu Yong and the others guarding the stronghold saw Wang Wu bring back an old man, they said irritably, "Wang Wu, what are you doing bringing this person back?"
Wang Wu threw the man to the ground, then kicked him a few times before saying gloomily, "Don't even mention it. I was hunting in the mountains today and ran into two old bastards. I only managed to catch one; the other got away."
"What!"
Upon hearing that Wang Wu had let someone escape, Gu Yong immediately raised his eyes. "How could you let someone get away? What if our information gets leaked?"
Wang Wu, that good-for-nothing bastard!
I told him to be careful and not to run around, but he insisted on going hunting and eating meat, and now he's caused all this trouble.
Wang Wu immediately cowered when he saw Gu Yong get angry, and whispered in defense, "That old bastard was stabbed twice in the leg and stomach by us. Even if he ran away, he wouldn't survive. He shouldn't ruin our plans..."
Gu Yong mustered his courage and slapped Wang Wu across the face, his eyes filled with malice: "What do you mean by 'should'? I want absolute certainty! Absolute certainty, do you understand?"
Wang Wu lowered his head. "Brother Yong, don't be angry. I'll take some men and take care of that old bastard! I know who they are. They live in a shed at the foot of the mountain and don't usually interact with the villagers. Even if something happens to them and they die, the villagers won't care."
The reason he was so careless was precisely this.
Gu Yong's expression softened upon hearing this: "Are you sure?"
Wang Wu quickly assured him, "Yes, yes! It's absolutely true, Brother Yong!"
Gu Yong pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's not rush. We can kill that old bastard after we get what we want. Time is of the essence now, we don't have time."
After saying that, he kicked Old Master Qin on the ground, "What are you doing bringing someone here? Take care of this person."
Wang Wu said cautiously, "Brother Yong, didn't you say that tomb is quite old? I was just thinking that we could use this old thing to scout ahead when we go down into the tomb, so that the brothers won't get hurt."
Gu Yong patted Wang Wu on the shoulder approvingly: "Not bad! You're pretty quick-witted. Let's spare this old man's life for now, and deal with him later."
Wang Wu smiled obsequiously: "Thank you for the compliment, Brother Yong! This is all thanks to your excellent teaching."
Gu Yong was pleased by Wang Wu's flattery and no longer cared about his previous recklessness. After his brothers finished eating their rations, he dragged Old Master Qin toward their destination.
When Ye Weiwei tracked them down, she saw them shoving Old Master Qin towards the deep mountains and dense forests, and she couldn't help but narrow her eyes.
Everyone in the village knows that Daqingshan is dangerous, so for many years they have not dared to go deep into the mountains. Even when they raid the mountains every year, they do not dare to go that far.
This group of people clearly seemed to know the way well, and didn't look like they were entering the deep mountains for the first time.
Could there be some treasure hidden deep in these mountains?
Seeing that Old Master Qin was not in immediate danger, Ye Weiwei did not act immediately, but wanted to see what these people were up to.
Gu Yong led the twenty-odd people, stopping and starting, until they reached the edge of a cliff.
When Wang Wu saw the cliff ahead, his legs went weak. "Brother Yong, didn't you say you were bringing the brothers to find treasure? This...this road is blocked?"
Gu Yong glanced at Wang Wu impatiently, "Do you think I'd leave that treasure right under your nose for you to pick up as you please?"
Wang Wu shrank back, not daring to speak.
Ye Weiwei frowned and extended her spiritual power in all directions. She then discovered that the cliff was not deep at all, only about five or six meters deep. There were several protrusions on the cliff face, which looked like they were man-made and suitable for climbing. Just two or three meters down, she could see an entrance that was only wide enough for one person to squeeze through sideways. This entrance was very well hidden and would be difficult to find unless one was deliberately observing carefully.
What treasures could be inside?
Ye Weiwei was suspicious.
She used her mental power to explore along the entrance and found that it was just an ordinary cave, barely big enough to accommodate all of them. If all of them went in together, there wouldn't be any room to move around.
Is there some kind of hidden mechanism?
Is this actually the entrance to a tomb?
Ye Weiwei searched carefully again, but found nothing for the time being.
Since there are no plants in the cave, unless she goes over and touches each stone herself, she might be able to discover some kind of mechanism.
Led by Gu Yong, the group of twenty-odd people slowly descended into the cave.
Old Master Qin's hood was also temporarily removed, and he was forced into the cave.
After they all entered the cave, Ye Weiwei came to the edge of the cliff and then saw Gu Yong and his men pushing hard against one of the cave's stone walls.
At a command, more than twenty people worked together, and the stone wall was slowly pushed open, revealing a dark entrance.
The group of people were all excited.
Wang Wu was so excited that he danced around, shouting, "Brother Yong! Brother Yong! There really is an entrance! I've never seen such a well-designed mechanism before. The treasures inside must be extraordinary! We're going to be rich! We're going to be rich!"
Gu Yong sneered: "I told you long ago, this time I'll definitely make you a fortune."
Wang Wu flattered Yong Ge without reservation: "I knew it! Following Brother Yong was definitely the right choice!"
The others, not wanting to be outdone by Wang Wu, also showered him with flattering words.
After enjoying the thrill of being fawned over, Gu Yong pretended to be impatient and waved his hand at the crowd, "Alright, alright, stop flattering us and get the stuff out first! This treasure is only a treasure when you actually have it in your hands!"
Wang Wu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes! That's called securing your gains. I'll go find the treasure first!"
After saying that, he grabbed Old Master Qin and said fiercely, "Old man, hurry up and go in to scout ahead! If you're lucky, you might still be able to save your dog's life!"
