Xiang Aiguo and the others knew Bai Yang's mood, and immediately agreed that Hongxing would guard the back door just in case, and the three men were looking for Taomu nearby.

However, the peach wood was very difficult to find, and the three of them did not dare to go too far, and after six o'clock, the poplar iron ox had to return empty-handed, and Xiang Aiguo dragged back a few thick camphor branches.

According to Xiang Aiguo, although the effect of camphor wood to ward off evil is not as good as that of peach wood, the wood is hard, and it has a kind of aroma of repelling insects and removing filth, and its lethality to evil things should not be underestimated.

The three men quickly sharpened a few camphor branches for later use, and then stood behind the big tree, carefully spying inside the fence wall.

As a result, when it was dark, there was no movement.

Only then did a few people sit down on the roots of the big tree and simply eat some dry food.

There was no dry food in the backpack of Poplar and Iron Ox, but at noon, Jin Han replenished dry food for Xiang Aiguo and Hongxing.

Fearing that the fire would alarm the people in the village, three men could only take turns to rest under the big tree that night.

The next day, a few men went to the vicinity to look for Taomu, but in the southern mountains and forests, the poplar iron ox returned empty-handed again.

Still Xiang Aiguo took back a piece of charred black wood with excitement on his face, and told Baiyang and others that this piece of wood had obviously been struck by lightning, and the effect of lightning striking wood to ward off evil spirits was better than that of peach wood.

The peach wood needs to pierce the heart of the monster to kill the monster, and the lightning strike wood only needs to smash the end of the lightning into a charred black shape, and pierce any vital point of the monster, which can instantly kill the monster.

It's a pity that although the lightning strike wood is thicker, it is not long.

Xiang Aiguo could only use a knife to disassemble and trim it and transform it into four pointed wooden cones. Two are slightly longer and two are very short.

The long one is only thirty centimeters, and the short one is less than a foot.

Xiang Aiguo divided one of the four pointed wooden cones and told Baiyang and the others that they could only be used when they were fighting with monsters.

After that, Xiang Aiguo commanded the poplar iron ox again, went to find some pine branches with pine resin and tied them up, and prepared them to be used as torches at night.

Several of them have flashlights on them, but if they encounter evil things, they are naturally good to use torches.

In the evening, about six o'clock, a few people first heard a noise coming from the stockade, and hurriedly hid themselves in the grass under the big tree.

After a while, close to the side of the big tree, a small door opened, and first two men dressed in brand-new Miao costumes walked out, both of them carrying a gong in their hands, and kept knocking out the sound of "clang" with the gong hammer.

Followed by two men and two women, also dressed in costumes, with a unique waist drum of the Miao nationality hanging from their waists, beating a staggered drum beat with the tone of the musical instrument in front of them.

Behind that, there were four men carrying a bamboo sedan chair, and a woman on the sedan chair was dizzy, as if she was asleep.

The woman wore a bright silver headdress on her head, a silver collar around her neck, and a colorful dress, which was more cumbersome and gorgeous than Zhi Yuzhu's previous dress.

Of course, it was a unique costume of the Miao people, but Bai Yang recognized it at a glance that this woman was not a Miao person, but Ding Lingling.

Poplar was shocked and anxious in his heart, and immediately wanted to stand up and rush out to rob someone.

But somehow, he had a slight throbbing pain in his stomach.

It was a strange throbbing, as if something was tugging at him in his stomach.

Fortunately, the throbbing pain was not very intense, and Poplar rubbed his hand slightly, still trying to stand up.

But Xiang Aiguo knew that he cared most about Ding Lingling, so he hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and pulled it, signaling him not to act rashly.

Poplar could only crouch in the grass, staring at Ding Lingling with both eyes, gritting his teeth and not rushing forward.

The pain in my stomach was still throbbing for no apparent reason, and it seemed to be getting worse and worse with each passing day.

But Poplar didn't care about himself at all, and his heart was all on Ding Lingling.

But after seeing the bamboo sedan chair that Ding Lingling was riding, there were two other men and two women with waist drums beating gently.

And behind the two men and two women, there are two men walking and playing an instrument very close to suona.

Bai Yang and the others thought that Grandma Zu would follow, but they didn't.

When the two men playing the suona came out, the back door of the big tree, which was close to the big tree, closed again silently.

The strange thing is that the throbbing pain in Poplar's stomach gradually disappeared as the group of people gradually moved away.

Even if Poplar pressed his hand on his abdomen, there was no more discomfort.

So Bai Yang couldn't help but jump up again, but he was still grabbed by Xiang Aiguo's wrist and didn't lose it.

"Baiyang, you can't be too impulsive, don't forget that there is also Senior Brother Wang!, so we can only follow behind them, we can't let them find us, and we will save Lingling when we get to the Divine Cave!"

Poplar was anxious, so he could only answer indiscriminately, and waited until the group completely disappeared into the woods below, and then got up to chase it.

In fact, the pedestrian was constantly playing drums all the way, and Bai Yang and the others didn't have to follow too closely at all, but just listened to the sound from a distance, and followed the pedestrian along the mountain to the southeast.

I didn't want to walk in the middle of nowhere, and the sound of the drums suddenly disappeared.

Poplar was taken aback, and hurriedly wanted to rush forward, but was pulled by Xiang Aiguo again, and said: "Don't be impatient, beware of being bumped into when that group of people turn back!"

"If you bump into it, you will bump into it, I just want to save Lingling quickly!" Bai Yang couldn't help but reply.

"But you have to understand, there are only four of us, and there are sixteen people on the other side! Not to mention that this place is very close to Wuyun Village, once we fight with this group of people, even if we can successfully save Lingling, it is inevitable that we will not alarm the people in the village! Especially if we alarm that grandmother, think about the possibility that we can escape for our lives!"

Bai Yang thought of Grandma Zu's two extremely terrifying Gu Kings, and couldn't help but shudder, so he had to listen to Xiang Yao's persuasion, and tiptoed towards the direction where the drum music disappeared.

Passing through a forest in front of him, there was a steep slope in front of him, and the poplar raised his foot to rush down the steep slope, but the voice of the voice came to his ears.

Xiang Aiguo reacted very quickly, immediately pulled the poplar, turned around and hid behind a big tree.

The Iron Bull also grabbed one of the red apricots' hands and hid behind another big tree together.

Naturally, the two of them were close together.

Tie Niu's heart was beautiful, but Hongxing was very uncomfortable, and had the intention to push Tie Niu farther away, but when he heard the voice getting closer and closer, he could only barely hold back.

From the bottom of the steep slope, a group of figures emerged. There are more men and fewer women, and they are the same group of people who sent Ding Lingling to the Divine Cave before.

Poplar and the others barely stood motionless until the dozen men and women walked past them, and gradually went farther away, and Xiang Aiguo threw away Poplar's arm and rushed down the steep slope with him.

At the bottom of the steep slope was a steep rock wall, and the rock wall was densely covered with wild vines.

If you hadn't just seen the pedestrian walk down this steep slope, no one would have thought that this rock face would be strange.

Regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, the poplar directly used the camphor stick in his hand to pull away the wild mountain vine, and suddenly saw a large black hole, hidden behind the mountain vine.

Iron Bull and Red Apricot also followed, glancing towards the mouth of the cave.

Hong Xing first said, "What about Sister Lingling, where did those people take Sister Lingling?"

At this time, the sky was still bright, and the light was projected downward, and it could be seen that the position of the entrance of the cave was only one meter five or six down, but there was no figure of Ding Lingling.

Poplar was impatient and jumped straight down into the cave.

Tie Niu Xiang Aiguo and the red apricot also jumped down.

Listening to the sound of "ah", Hongxing exclaimed.

I just looked down from above, but I didn't see how deep this cave was, and when I stood under the entrance of the cave, I found that this cave went straight into the mountain, and I couldn't see where the end was.

The cave floor was littered with skeletons, apparently all human skeletons.

And the deeper you go into the cave, the more white bones there are, and they spread out layer upon layer, as if the entire cave is covered with it.

"This should be the bones of those cave girls for hundreds of years!" said Xiang Aiguo.

According to the customs of Miao Village, after the cave girl is sent to the cave for seven days, if she is barely alive, her family will take her home and take care of her. But if he is dead, his bones will be left in the cave, and his family will not be allowed to mourn him.

It is unknown how many girls have died here for hundreds of years, and the most recent one of the cave girls must have been reduced to bones three years ago.

It's just that there are white bones all over the place, and some of them are still covered with tattered clothes, which should be relatively recent, and the clothes have not yet been corrupted into ashes.

"You say...... Will there be bone-eating fireflies on these bones?"

"Definitely not, don't forget that the Bone Eater Firefly is connected to ghosts!" Iron Bull said immediately, "I just wonder that this cave is not too deep, why didn't the cave girl know to escape quickly after she was let in?"

"Maybe it's because they're all like Lingling, and they were stunned by that hateful old witch first!"

Poplar spoke gloomily, stepped on the white bones on the ground, and looked for Ding Lingling's figure in the cave.

The red apricot was a little panicked, but fortunately, as the poplar stepped on the white bones "creak", there were no small insects that would glow green.

Hongxing breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that Tie Niu and Xiang Aiguo were already following behind Baiyang, she could only step on the white bones hard.
