“Yes!” Li Rong nodded in agreement. “There’s nothing on the walls of this stone chamber.”
Gu Sang frowned after hearing Li Rong's words.
"Does this mean we've entered a dangerous place?" Gu Sang's face showed deep worry.
"Mm," Li Rong replied.
"What should we do?" Gu Sang asked Li Rong anxiously.
“We’re still inside the stone chamber, not yet outside its boundaries, and we’re not even sure where we are,” Li Rong said to Gu Sang. “Let’s walk a little further along the path we came in from; maybe we’ll find the exit!”
"Yes, let's go quickly!" Gu Sang nodded and urged.
Gu Sang and Li Rong quickened their pace and continued walking forward.
Gu Sang and Li Rong continued walking forward.
Along their way, the two of them discovered several more stone chambers.
"Gu Sang, look, look, there seems to be a spacious hall over there." As they walked, Li Rong suddenly spoke to Gu Sang.
"Yes! That hall looks quite large, and the decorations inside are quite luxurious. It looks like a bedroom. And I remember my mother once told me that the remains of our Gu family ancestors were kept in this bedroom, and our family's ancestral treasure was also kept there. That treasure is still in the ancestral hall." Gu Sang replied quickly upon hearing this.
After Gu Sang finished speaking, she stopped and looked at the hall not far behind her, saying, "Let's go! Let's go in and see what's going on."
After Gu Sang finished speaking, she stepped into the hall.
After Gu Sang and Li Rong entered the hall, Gu Sang carefully observed the entire hall.
The hall was simply furnished.
The walls are covered with paintings and antique decorations. Various kinds of porcelain and antiques are displayed in the hall.
This is a large living room with a spacious dining table in the center and a long chair resting quietly on it.
Gu Sang looked around and found that apart from the dining table, there was nothing else there.
"Huh? What's wrong with us?" Li Rong asked Gu Sang when she saw Gu Sang looking around.
"Look!" After hearing Li Rong's words, Gu Sang pointed to what was in front of her and asked Li Rong.
Upon hearing this, Li Rong looked in the direction Gu Sang was pointing and saw a white cloth on the ground where Gu Sang was pointing.
After Li Rong clearly saw the spot Gu Sang was pointing to, she immediately reached out, picked up the white cloth from the ground, placed it in her palm, and examined it carefully.
"Huh?"
When Li Rong saw the picture drawn on the white cloth clearly, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Then she looked up at Gu Sang and asked, "Gu Sang, where did you get the pattern on this?"
“I don’t know what the pattern on this is either,” Gu Sang said, shaking her head.
"Oh, I understand." Li Rong nodded upon hearing this, and then said to Gu Sang.
"What do you know?" Gu Sang asked Li Rong curiously upon hearing this.
Upon hearing this, Li Rong looked at Gu Sang and said, "Gu Sang, I understand. This is a map of that mountain!"
"Was this map drawn from that mountain?" Gu Sang asked Li Rong immediately upon hearing this.
Upon hearing this, Li Rong shook her head: "This map was not drawn from that mountain, but from another place."
"What place is this?" Gu Sang asked, puzzled.
"This map is on this mountain, and there's also a cave on this mountain," Li Rong explained after handing the white cloth back to Gu Sang.
"We can't get into this cave either, so only the Gu family knows about its existence."
"You mean... that cave is on this mountain, and someone drew it on by hand?" Gu Sang's expression turned to shock upon hearing this.
Li Rong nodded and said, "That's right!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Sang fell silent, remaining silent for a long time, seemingly lost in thought.
After a while, Gu Sang suddenly smiled and said to Li Rong, "In that case, let's go inside and explore this cave!"
“Yes! That’s right.” Li Rong smiled upon hearing this.
The two then prepared to leave and search for the cave.
"Wait!" Suddenly, Gu Sang seemed to remember something and quickly called out to Li Rong.
"What's wrong?" Li Rong turned around and looked at Gu Sang when she heard this, and asked.
“Li Rong, I suddenly remembered that this map was left to me by my father. He once told me that there are some secrets of his in that cave on the mountain. If our family can find that cave, we might be able to get some clues about him.” Gu Sang said excitedly after finishing her sentence.
She did not believe that her father had died in battle.
After hearing what Gu Sang said, Li Rong was also delighted for Gu Sang.
“In that case, if you’re right, this map is an important clue!” Li Rong nodded in agreement with Gu Sang’s statement and said to Gu Sang.
Upon hearing this, Gu Sang nodded, then looked at Li Rong and said, "Since this map belongs to our Gu family, then even if it takes all my strength, I must find this cave!"
“Okay! I’ll help you!” Li Rong replied upon hearing this.
"Thank you, let's go, let's go into this cave and take a look!" Gu Sang looked at Li Rong and nodded.
Li Rong immediately followed behind Gu Sang.
After entering the cave, the two began to carefully observe the scene inside.
After entering the cave, Li Rong and Gu Sang carefully observed the environment inside.
"Hey? Look over there!"
Just then, Gu Sang suddenly noticed a landscape painting hanging on the wall not far ahead.
The mountain scenery in landscape paintings is very similar to the mountain scenery in reality, but it is even more beautiful than the mountain scenery in reality.
“The scenery in this painting is real,” Gu Sang said, looking at the mountain view on the wall.
Upon hearing this, Li Rong nodded.
“This painting must be of the cave where my father lived.”
After Gu Sang finished speaking, she looked around at the scenery, then turned her gaze to the depths of the cave and asked Li Rong, "Li Rong, what exactly is going on inside that cave?"
