Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11478

Yang Huazhong reiterated the rules to them with a serious face and got their assurance. Just like that, Yang Huazhong waved his hand and a huge team followed him up the mountain. The scene was indeed very reassuring.

The group walked for a while in the mountains and, under the leadership of Yang Ruoqing, accurately found the cave that Cao Bamei and the others had mentioned.

What Cao Bamei said before was not clear at all, but Yang Ruoqing knew it clearly.

The reason she knew this was not because she had been to this cave before, but because she had a hand-drawn map that Luo Baobao gave her before he left.

Luo Baobao knew the exact location of the cave, but she was in a hurry to return to the camp to discipline her female soldiers and had no time to lead everyone, so she hand-drew a map of the cave and gave it to Yang Ruoqing, and explained it to Yang Ruoqing in detail.

"There is a stream about three meters away. The stream flows through a big yellow maple tree. Behind the yellow maple tree, there is a cave opening that slopes downward. The stream water flows into the cave from that opening. That is the cave opening we are looking for."

Yang Ruoqing held the map in her hand and led Luo Fengtang, Old Man Wang and the others forward step by step. Comparing them with the scenery around them, they were completely sure that this was the right place!

Old man Wang nodded, took out a compass, and began to survey the area around the cave entrance inch by inch.

Luo Fengtang gestured to the team behind him, signaling them not to come over and to stay at a safe distance of three meters away and wait for news.

In order to prevent some villagers from being driven by curiosity and ignoring the arrangements of the good-tempered village head Yang Huazhong and rashly coming to the cave entrance, Luo Fengtang specially left two guards to guard near the big yellow maple tree.

If any villager dares to disobey orders and force his way in, the guards will not be polite to them!

Here, Yang Ruoqing, Yang Huaming and others followed behind Old Man Wang and surveyed along the stream near the cave entrance.

Surveying around the big yellow maple tree.

To be honest, Yang Ruoqing really couldn't tell whether there was anything abnormal on the compass or not. In short, she was just following behind like a human-machine and couldn't understand anything at all.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. Leave professional matters to professionals. It’s enough for Old Man Wang to understand it. They, the human-machine operators, only need to obey Old Man Wang’s orders and cooperate with him.

"Mrs. Luo, take out three incense sticks and burn incense for this Taoist friend."

Old Man Wang suddenly gave an order to Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing was stunned.

Fellow?

Are there other Taoists here or something?

But when she looked around, she saw no other suspicious objects except the large yellow maple tree next to her, whose roots had protruded from the soil and could be used as a chair.

"Father Wang, do you mean to burn incense to this big tree?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Old Man Wang nodded, "That's right. This tree is at least five hundred years old. It has absorbed the essence of the mountains and rivers and has developed spiritual wisdom."

"We have disturbed their meditation without permission, so we should burn some incense to show our appreciation."

Yang Ruoqing understood.

Go get the incense quickly.

Luo Fengtang took out the incense and prepared to replace Yang Ruoqing, but was stopped by Old Man Wang.

"General, you are the incarnation of Wu Qu Star. This Taoist fellow is not skilled enough and may not be able to bear the incense you burn. Let your wife do it!"

Wu Qu star descended to earth?

Holy shit! Yang Ruoqing’s eyes lit up. No matter whether what Old Man Wang said was true or false, Yang Ruoqing enjoyed it very much!

If it was a flattery, then this old man Wang would have touched Yang Ruoqing's heart even more. Yang Ruoqing held the incense in her hand, walked forward to burn incense for the old yellow maple tree, and even bowed devoutly twice.

If for no other reason, it was because she was already 34 years old this year, and the tree in front of her was over 500 years old, older than herself, so there would be no loss in bowing to it a few times.

However, while worshipping, Yang Ruoqing had a question in her mind.

Since this old yellow maple tree is spiritual and there is an evil creature living in the cave next to it, are there any connections between them?

Should the old yellow maple tree go along with the evil creature's actions? Or stop it? Or should it just ignore it and keep its distance from the evil creature?

If it doesn't interfere with each other, Yang Ruoqing can let it go. After all, keeping to oneself is the way of survival for living things.

But if you have ever gone along with the bad people, then I'm sorry. At this moment, I am burning incense for you, but when I turn around, I can also use an axe to cut off your roots, leaving you lifeless and all your spiritual practices destroyed.

After burning incense, Old Man Wang was the first to enter the cave.

Luo Fengtang wanted to walk in front but was stopped by the old man, so Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing followed behind Old Man Wang. Luo Fengtang's hand was always on the scabbard at his waist.

Yang Ruoqing was already holding the black gold whip in her hand.

If there was anything slightly wrong, Luo Fengtang would chop with a sword and Yang Ruoqing would whip it.

Yang Huaming and Xiaojie's father Yang Yongqing and the others followed behind...

Outside, the sun had not yet completely set and was hanging halfway up the mountain.

But inside the cave, there was no light at all and it was dark everywhere.

But don't panic, everyone brought windproof lanterns and torches with them.

Except for Old Man Wang, Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing, the other people were all holding lighting tools in their hands.

The entrance to the cave is not very spacious, but arched, with a one-meter-wide stream extending into it.

Yang Ruoqing and the others filed in along the left side of the stream.

The reason why they didn't enter along the two sides of the stream was that they were worried that the stream would become wider and wider after entering the cave, and would split one group of people into two. If one group encountered danger, the other group would not be able to cross over to rescue because of the stream. Therefore, when everyone entered the cave, they agreed to walk together.

The stream gurgles, and after entering the cave, it still flows forward in the dimness, leading to a mysterious and unknown place.

Yang Ruoqing walked beside Luo Fengtang, going inside while observing the surrounding environment.

At present, the top of the cave is about two meters above the ground. The road extends downward. The soil underfoot is very soft. Many shade-loving plants grow along the stone walls on both sides of the cave.

Continue walking in, following the direction of the stream, and mushrooms of varying sizes gradually appear in the grass under your feet.

In some places, there are still a few scattered bird feathers and empty bird nests.

"Ding dong."

A drop of cold water fell from the rock above her head and landed on Yang Ruoqing's neck.

She looked up and found that as she went deeper, there were more and more stalactites on the stone wall above her head. The water droplets were dripping from the stalactites and falling to the ground, and the ground under her feet gradually became muddy.

"The road is a bit slippery, everyone be careful." Yang Ruoqing turned her head and reminded the people behind her, "Take out the grass sticks you brought."

Realgar powder is smeared on the grass-cutting stick in advance. When walking in these humid places, the most feared thing is that there are snakes hiding in the grass and cracks in the stones at your feet. Using the grass-cutting stick dipped in realgar powder to explore the way in advance can have the effect of driving away snakes.
