Chapter 369: Nothing for the time being

………… Of course, in order to fully prove that he is painting, Liu Dong will occasionally stop to paint, but the main goal is to find the tomb, or hide the treasure.

However, as time passed, Liu Dong still found nothing for half a month, even if he had the help of the relics Yuanguang, he still had no clue about the treasure.

At this time, Liu Dong felt for the first time that the original range of relics with a radius of 100 meters was not very big. It's too small compared to the entire huge valley.

"Hey!" He sighed heavily, looked up at the increasingly hot sunlight in the sky, and after looking at his watch, he realized that it was almost twelve o'clock.

Liu Dong, who still had no gain, was about to turn around and go back to the village with the easel on his back.

However, when he turned around, he found a large number of Guan Jiachong villagers holding ropes in their hands, saying something loudly, and running towards him with anxious expressions.

Of course, Liu Dong would not think that these people were looking for him, but Liu Dong also quickly realized that something important must have happened.

At that moment, his right arm tightened the easel and canvas behind his back, and the wind was blowing under his feet, running towards the crowd.

However, most of the people in it don't know Liu Dong, but of course they know a lot. For example, among them is Guan Qiang, the husband of Liu Lao's youngest daughter Liu Fang.

"Uncle Qiang, what are you going to do here? Everyone is in such a hurry? Seeing Guan Qiang in the middle of the crowd, Liu Dong hurriedly came up with an easel on his back.

"Oh, Xiaodong!" After half a month of contact, Liu Dong and Liu Lao's family are already very familiar with each other.

"Here's the thing. The little Mingzi of the Daming family in the east of the village. This morning, while grazing sheep, I entered the Hades Cave. I didn't see him until noon, isn't this his family in a hurry, after reporting to the village, the village chief is organizing everyone to look for it? Because he was running at the moment, Guan Qiang's speech speed was very fast, but he had been here for half a month, and Liu Dong, who was already familiar with Guan Jiachong's dialect, still understood the meaning of his painting very easily.

The sheep herding baby named Guan Xiaoming, Liu Dong remembers it very clearly. Looking like a teenager, his eyes are quite big, and he looks very likeable, many of Liu Dong's paintings are painted by him, and when Liu Dong was looking for the tomb and treasure of King Zhuang, this child who grew up in Guan Jiachong and was very familiar with the terrain of Guan Jiachong helped him a lot.

Moreover, this child has no mother since he was a child, and his family is very poor. After only finishing elementary school, he dropped out of school and stayed at home. Helping his father take care of his younger siblings is a very well-behaved child.

As for the Yama Cave, it is famous in the entire Guanjiachong, and even in the entire Baishi Town outside of Guanjiachong.

Speaking of this, we have to mention the place of Songzi City, where there is a particularly famous Zhushui Scenic Area, and in the 3A-level national scenic spot of Zhushui, there is a famous landscape called "Xinshen Cave", and this Xinshen Cave is known as "the first strange cave in the world" with superb scenery such as "Waterfall in the Cave", "Bianshi Dam", "Qiankun Divine Pillar", "Tiangong Curtain" and so on.

In addition to the new god cave, there are more than 10 karst caves such as General Yan Cave and Ancient God Cave in the Zhushui Scenic Area, and the cave is exquisite and breathtaking.

And these lake karst caves and dry caves appear in the water on a large scale, naturally it will not be all in this one place, the karst caves and dry caves inside Guanjiachong are also quite a lot, the terrain is complex, many do not know how deep, and the underground karst cave called the Yama Cave by the people who became Guanjiachong is one of the best.

Hades Cave, there are many forks in it, just like a labyrinth, if you don't prepare after entering, it is difficult to come out, and even if you are prepared, you won't go too deep, because the more you go here, the more complicated the terrain is, and the more forks you have. And if there is no light, it is very dark inside, and if you hit a cliff or something, your life will be gone.

In the past, this underground karst cave with complex terrain engulfed a lot of people and animals in Guanjiachong, and basically after entering, it was difficult to come out again unless you exited in time.

And this also caused the panic of the Guan Jiachong people to this cave, and the Guanjia Chong people for generations have stayed away from this cave, and finally gave him the name of Hades Cave. It can be seen that people have scruples about this place.

"Xiao Mingzi must have run in with the sheep!" A middle-aged man who was devastated by a poor life and described as a little withered stood at the entrance of the cave with an anxious face and looked inside, if it wasn't for the people next to him, I am afraid he would have rushed in to find his son.

Poor people cherish every bit of their property, Guan Xiaoming's family is poor, so he naturally cares about expensive livestock such as sheep. After seeing the sheep enter the cave, he didn't care about the Hades cave.

People here know that.

"Okay, Daming, don't worry, isn't the village chief here? We all listened to the village chief! Hearing Guan Qiang's words, Guan Daming also stopped struggling, and looked up at Guan Dashi, the village chief of Guan Jiachong, with hopeful eyes, among the three generations of Guan Jiachong villagers, Guan Dashi and Guan Liu were the only ones who were able to come out alive after entering the Hades Cave.

It's a pity that Guan Liu doesn't know where he has gone, and now he is counting on Guan Dashi in front of him.

Seeing everyone's eyes, Guan Dashi also knew that he had an unshirkable responsibility as the village chief, "Da Ming, don't worry, Xiao Ming, this kid is timid, and he doesn't dare to go to a place that is too dark." Moreover, the two places of Tiger Cliff and Guillotine Slope are in the depths of the Hades Cave, and he can't get there alone! Don't worry! ”

Having said that, Guan Dashi didn't have much hope of finding Guan Xiaoming in his heart, because his strength alone was too small in the face of the huge Hades Cave.

In addition, in the face of the famous Hades Cave, I am afraid that few people are willing to fight with their lives to help.

"Did you bring the lantern and the rope?" Wang Dashi turned his head and asked.

"Village chief, it's all here!" In response, four or five young men walked in with finger-thick ropes and four or five lanterns parting the crowd.

The horse lamp, also known as the kerosene lamp, is also called the air death lamp, a kind of kerosene lamp that can be carried and weatherproof, and can be hung on the horse when riding at night, hence the name.

Guan Jiachong uses this kind of lamp for lighting here, of course, they also have flashlights, but this thing is too expensive, and the battery has to be changed frequently, and it is not as easy to use as a horse lamp.

Seeing the ropes and lanterns on the ground, Wang Dashi nodded, each of these ropes was more than two hundred meters long, and it was specially made up to rescue the people trapped in the cave of Hades.

"Okay, now that everything has been brought, who wants to go in with me?"

Hearing Wang Dashi's words, everyone's faces couldn't help but show a trace of fear, the reputation of the Yama King Cave really made these Guan Jiachong people feel fear in their bones, so basically no one was willing to risk their lives to enter the cave.

After all, there is only one life for everyone, and if you die, what will the family do, without a pillar, it is easy to be bullied in the village, and I am afraid that this life will be quite difficult. Therefore, even in the face of Wang Daming's gaze for help, few people were ready to stand up, and a few people who were a little moved were quickly pulled by the family members around them.

In the face of life and death, there are too few people who can truly be selfless.

"Count me in!"

As he spoke, Liu Dong walked out from behind Guan Qiang.

And at this time, the eyes of everyone in the audience were also focused on him. After half a month of getting along, Guan Jiachong's people are no strangers to this young painter who came here, but unexpectedly, he actually stood up at this time.

"Xiaodong, don't be impulsive, you haven't entered the Hades Cave, it's not a joke inside, you really can't survive if your life is gone!" Guan Qiang hurriedly grabbed Liu Dong's arm and persuaded with an anxious expression.

After getting along for more than half a month, Guan Qiang had a very good impression of this young man who was young but kind and did not have the slightest squeamishness in the city, and he really didn't want to see him enter the Hades Cave and lose his life in vain.

"Don't worry, Uncle Qiang! I'll walk 200 meters inside, and if it doesn't work, I'll get out!" Liu Dong comforted.

In fact, the reason why Liu Dong wanted to enter here was because he had almost looked for the karst caves near Guanjia Village, but unfortunately there was no clue to King Zhuang's hidden treasure, only this Yama Cave was too complicated because of the terrain, and he had not made up his mind to enter it. Now is undoubtedly an opportunity.

It is not suspicious, but also has a rope as a guide to reduce the danger of entering the hole. Coupled with his relics Yuanguang, the slightest appearance within a radius of 100 meters was clear, and the danger was undoubtedly minimized.

Seeing that he really couldn't persuade Liu Dong, Guan Qiang originally planned to go in with him, but was forcibly stopped by Liu Dong. After he himself is sure that after entering, he will be able to rely on the large amount of food stored in the mustard seed space to support it for a week or two, and it will take a little time to always be able to come out, but it will be different if he takes Guan Qiang with him.

Guan Dashi didn't expect that Liu Dong, a foreigner, would take the initiative to stand up and help this time, so he immediately patted Liu Dong on the shoulder and said: "Good boy, no matter whether the thing can be done this time or not, we Guan Jiachong owe you a favor!" ”

Looking at the look of appreciation on Guan Dashi's face, Liu Dong smiled and didn't say anything, this time in addition to looking for the sheep herding baby Wang Xiaoming, Liu Dong also wanted to see if he could find the clues of King Zhuang's treasure inside.

"Little brother, don't thank you for your kindness, my Daming has kowtowed to you!" Guan Daming looked excited and wanted to kneel down for Liu Dong.

However, he was suddenly supported by Liu Dong, who was quick to be quick-eyed, "Uncle Daming, you are the same age as my father, isn't your kneeling breaking my life?" ”

"Alright, Daming! Polite words will be said when we come out, now it's important to find the child first, time waits for no one! ”

"Yes, yes! Find the kids first! After listening to Guan Dashi's words, Guan Daming nodded hurriedly.

Then, the three of them tied the rope around their waists, and then carried the lantern together into the bottomless and smelling Hades Cave. (To be continued......)
