Fourth Aunt’s words irritated Gu Shaoyu and everyone present.
that is!
Anyway, they have all died once, so even if what they find is a pile of bones, at least it is the real body of Gu Jiu, and taking him back will allow him to rest in peace.
But if they can find Gu Jiu alive, they will be grateful to themselves for not giving up today for the rest of their lives.
So, one by one, they did not rest and began to search carefully within a hundred meters around the luminous jade pendant.
From night to day, and from day to night.
After searching for almost seven days, they actually followed the traces of dead branches and leaves and found a cave they had never seen before. It was so dark inside that no one knew if there would be any ferocious beasts.
For example, poisonous snakes or something.
Ni Yang took out some realgar powder and anti-poison pills and distributed them. These things can save lives at critical moments.
Zheng Deli had been looking for clues with his head down every day and had long been unable to contain his excitement. So when he saw this cave, he was happier than anything else and immediately spoke while swinging his double hammers.
"General, let me explore the way. No matter what is in this cave, I will make sure to defeat him!"
"Don't be careless. You and Ni Yang should go together. Be careful."
"OK!"
After receiving the order, Zheng Deli couldn't move, so he shouted and led his men to rush inside. Seeing this, Ni Yang followed closely, and soon, the group disappeared.
They listened carefully outside. There was some noise at first, but soon the noise disappeared and only silence remained.
One hour passed, then two hours passed, and seeing that there was no way out of the cave, Fourth Aunt became anxious.
"Are they in danger in there? Shao Yu, shall we go in and take a look?"
Gu Shaoyu stood there with his hands behind his back, frowning slightly. This shouldn't be the case. Zheng Deli and Ni Yang are both very capable. It doesn't make sense for them to not react for such a long time.
So, after a brief silence, he spoke to the fourth old lady.
"Aunt Si, wait for me here. I'll go in and take a look. If there's still no news after half an hour, you can return the same way you came. Don't take any more risks!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'll go if anyone has to go! There are so many people and so many things going on at home. If anything happens to you, how can I explain it to them? I've lived to this age and it's enough. Xiaojiu is my son, so I'll go and find what's due to him! Don't argue with me. You guys wait here. If you don't see us coming out in half an hour, go back and discuss it later!"
"Fourth Aunt! He is also my ninth brother. How can I let you take risks like this?"
"Then can I let you go? Shao Yu! Listen to me!"
The two were arguing and hadn't come to a conclusion yet when they saw a few people coming out. Zheng Deli looked at them in confusion and then asked.
"What are the general and the old lady arguing about?"
"You guys are back? Are you okay?"
Seeing Zheng Deli and others, everyone immediately came forward and asked him anxiously. As a result, Zheng Deli said calmly.
"This cave looks scary, but it's actually a different world. Ni Yang is waiting at the other side of the cave. There is a dense forest over there, but I can hear the sound of a stream, so there may be people living there!"
"really?"
"Don't worry, old lady. I, Old Zheng, will never tell a lie!"
Fourth Aunt was extremely excited, but because she had to consider Gu Shaoyu, she suppressed her excitement and walked quickly towards the cave entrance.
This was the opportunity they had been looking for for a long time, so they naturally couldn't let it go.
Gu Shaoyu followed closely behind, and the rest of the guards also entered the cave.
The cave was pitch black, but there were torches lighting the way. Although it was a little scary, it was okay. There was the smell of realgar powder all the way, so you could occasionally hear some small noises, but no ferocious beasts or poisonous insects approached.
After walking for a very long time, just when everyone was feeling a little nervous, there was suddenly a light ahead. Just one dot, but Fourth Aunt could no longer control her emotions, and she ran towards the light.
Soon the group came out of the cave.
Gu Shaoyu looked back and saw some traces of knife and axe hacking on the cave, so it must be man-made. But why would such a long cave appear in Qiuhua Mountain? There was no answer to his doubts in his heart, and soon a soldier beside him exclaimed in a low voice.
"General, this is not Qiuhua Mountain, this should be Huolie Valley. Look, this is the Fire Flower that can only be found in Huolie Valley!"
Where the soldier pointed his finger, there was indeed a red spot.
The Fire Valley is a natural chasm and almost no one has ever gone down to the bottom of the valley. It is only known to the world because of the reputation of the fire flowers that bloom there are very dazzling.
However, this fire flower has no special effects and is useless except for its beauty, so no one would risk their lives to come here, so it has become an isolated place.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
This cave actually leads to the Fire Valley, so Gu Shaoyu quickly had an idea in his mind.
I think there must be people living at the bottom of the valley, and this cave is their way out.
Therefore, the idea that Gu Jiu was still alive in his heart became stronger, so he immediately gave the order and said.
"First find the stream, then split into two teams, one team goes up, and the other team goes down. When the sun is at its highest point in the sky, turn back to the starting point of the stream."
"Yes, sir!"
It is certainly not difficult for a person to live in the woods.
But if a group of people want to live in the woods, then water source is the most important thing. Gu Shaoyu thinks that those people are likely to live near water, so finding a stream is the most direct way.
There were many soldiers with amazing hearing in the army, so they could hear the noise while lying on the ground. Without much trouble, a slightly wide stream appeared in front of them.
The water is so clear that you can even see live fish swimming in it.
But it was not deep, just above the knees at most, and there were small reefs everywhere. Seeing these, everyone was excited that they were about to find the result.
So the troops were divided into two teams, one team consisting of Gu Shaoyu and Zheng Deli, and the other team consisting of Fourth Aunt, Li Zhu and Ni Yang, and they acted separately.
After walking upstream along the stream for about an incense stick of time, I saw an open area, and then dense trees, and it seemed that there was no way forward.
Zheng Deli stretched his muscles and then spoke.
"General, shall we continue into the woods?"
This stream has a direction, but the forest does not. If you want to go into it, you need a direction.
But Gu Shaoyu did not answer him. He squatted down beside the stream and looked at it carefully.
Those large stones were extremely smooth, and it was obvious that they had been polished and were often used.
