Along the way, the rustle in the grass never stopped.

Sometimes in the front, sometimes in the back, whenever such a sound sounded, Barong blew the worm flute, and those sounds quickly disappeared.

Because of this, Lu Xiaoling became very confident in quickly rescuing Cao Daoping.

"Our trip was not in vain!" She said excitedly to Sun Yang.

But Sun Yang didn't think so.

He had been quietly observing Barong, barely revealing any clues from his wrinkled face, but had this thing really been lost for hundreds of years?

He felt that the tune that Baron was blowing was not exactly the same, but he couldn't be sure.

Was he driving the pythons, or was he directing them? Or is he still experimenting?

Was it luck that he found the right tune so quickly, was it because he had studied it before, or did he already know these things?

He then followed in Barong's footsteps more and more.

After walking along the mountain road for nearly two hours, they finally arrived at a village smaller than Jiaoxi.

There are no roads, only a path that barely manages to take a tractor.

Barong apparently had considerable authority here as well, and the old men of the village were busy preparing food for them, while Barong inquired about the movements in the mountains.

"Has anyone been to the vicinity of Yanxi in the past few days?"

"Nope." The old man shook his head. "It's not peaceful in the mountains, where does anyone dare to go?"

"Not peaceful?" Lu Xiaoling asked while eating steamed potatoes, in such a small mountain village, the food that can be taken out is potatoes, corn and cured meat.

The only unlimited amount was alcohol, but none of the three of them drank it except for Barong.

The old man looked at Barong and said, "The mountain ghost and the python are not at ease, it seems that something has happened." ”

Several people looked at each other for a while, but they didn't say anything about killing a large number of mountain ghosts.

"Have you seen this person?" Sun Yang handed him a photo of Cao Daoping.

"Yes......," said the old man, after a moment of painstaking identification. It was from the moment he entered the mountain that all those things were in a commotion. What a wickedness, good manner, what are you doing with us? ”

Sun Yang couldn't continue to ask, but the questions that had been bothering him since he arrived at Jiaoxi were magnified at this time.

What exactly is Master Cao looking for? Why did he go into such a dangerous mountain forest alone?

He couldn't help but look at Baron again.

According to Ba Youde, who runs a small supermarket in the village, Master Cao had a fight with him before leaving Jiaoxi, why?

What does Master Cao's distress have to do with him?

The simple lunch was quickly eaten, Lu Xiaoling urged everyone to set off, and Ba Long suddenly said: "Since the worm flute is effective, let's leave the horses here, otherwise we will enter the cave in a while, and they will not be saved." ”

Lu Xiaoling and Huang Dou had no opinions, and Sun Yang didn't say anything.

The things that had to be carried were ropes, torches, and herbs to heal bites, herbs to repel the pythons, and fire oil to attack, which they had to give up, and they picked them out and separated them into everyone's bags, which was nothing to the three of them.

The team continued to walk into the mountains, led by Baron, but not upwards, but down a small stream.

The fog bubbled up again.

The woods were eerily secluded, and there was hardly anything to be heard except for their footsteps, not even the cries of birds and insects, which was extremely unsettling.

"How far is it?" Sun Yang finally couldn't help but ask.

"Less than half an hour away!" Baron said to them.

Just then, something suddenly fell on the mountain.

"Be careful!" Sun Yang immediately shouted.

He pushed Lu Xiaoling, and at the same time grabbed Ba Long's clothes and dragged him towards the side of the mountain wall, Huang Dou's movements were even more agile than him.

The grinding stone, which almost grazed their heads, followed by more gravel and dirt, and they clinged to the mountain wall, narrowly avoiding the avalanche.

"It's a mountain ghost!" Lu Xiaoling pointed to a few furry figures on the ridge who were leaving quickly.

They are located at a height of at least a few hundred meters, and it is already impossible to catch up with them.

"How are you?" Sun Yang helped Ba Long up, the old man shook his head, he hit the mountain wall, and he couldn't breathe for a long time.

"We must find a way to eradicate them completely!" Lu Xiaoling said hatefully.

The bag was also broken, and he had to give up some of his things again.

The attack forced them to slow down, but the mountain ghosts seemed to have given up harassing them and didn't know where to hide.

Nearly an hour later, they arrived at their destination.

It was a building that had almost completely collapsed, with rugged sculptures and broken stones scattered among the bushes, and it was a dilapidated sight that made it impossible to see what it was. But judging by the expansive stone platforms and the stone pillars that still stand among the weeds, the scale of the building must have been enormous.

The entrance to the cave was just behind the ruins, about three meters high, and it was very deep, and some broken stairs carved directly into the stone wall stretched to the end of the sight, but most of the place was pitch black and nothing could be seen clearly.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, you can feel a strong wind blowing from inside.

There is not a single python in sight, the only thing that draws attention to them is near the entrance of the cave, where thick gray-white nets can be seen everywhere.

"Shall we go in?" Sun Yang looked at the others.

It had come to this point, and he didn't want to delay for a minute.

There were no objections.

The torches were lit, and the light of the fire dispelled the chill that had spread through the air, and the shaking flames made a big hole when they touched the cobwebs.

Some small spiders quickly scattered, and Sun Yang was the first to walk in.

Just a few steps away, the world seems to be completely cut off from the outside, and if it weren't for the constant cold wind blowing in front of you, it would almost make you feel like you've been buried deep underground.

The roof of the cave was also covered with gray-white cobwebs, and there were all kinds of animal carcasses that had been sucked dry, including even humans, who nervously examined each human body hanging on the roof, some of which looked to have been dead for a long time, emitting an unbearable smell, but fortunately there was no Cao Daoping in it.

The strangest thing was that there was still not a single python in sight, which made Sun Yang uneasy.

"You've been here?" He asked Baron.

Baron shook his head. "But I know that there are five main halls, seventeen small halls, and countless rooms."

Sun Yang looked at him suspiciously.

"This used to be the temple of our Sanmiao people." Baron said. "It was hundreds of years ago."

"I'll take the lead." Huang Dou said, and then walked to the front with a torch.

Sun Yang then walked to the back and asked Lu Xiaoling to monitor Ba Long in the middle.

"Pay attention to see if there are any traces left by Master Cao." He said to Huang Dou.

This should be a natural cave, which was later transformed into their own temple by the Sanmiao people, all the way, there are steps carved out of stalactites everywhere along the way, there are many holes in the stone wall for inserting torches, and a large number of stone carvings, in the dark, there seems to be an endless number of branch caves that have not yet been developed.

Most of the stone carvings are animals or people, but most of those animals are not the species that can be seen now, and some of the animals look extremely strange, as if the characteristics of some animals have been put together in a clumsy way. And the statues of those figures are also extremely exaggerated.

Ba Long said proudly: "These are all the enemies that our ancestors of Sanmiao once defeated!" ”

They had no intention of doing any research, but Huang Dou found that the cobwebs on some of the stone carvings seemed to have been peeled open, and in front of one of the stone sculptures, a burned torch was thrown on the ground.

"This is what Master Cao left behind? What the hell is he looking for? Huang Dou said.

"A dog's head with a lot of wings and feet." Sun Yang said.

Lu Xiaoling glanced back at him unreasonably, but he suddenly felt a little sour in his heart.

At this moment, the scene of Lu Lou's death flashed in front of his eyes again.

Why is Master Cao still pursuing this matter? Is there anything else that is missing?
