Metaphysical Talisman Wife Fortune-telling Spirit: Orion eats chaff and I eat meat

Chapter 502: Boulder Beach

Chen Huaixian looked haggard, with a disheveled beard and red eyes. Zhao Zhi followed beside him, looking anxious.

After the two sides exchanged information, Chen Huaixian turned around and was about to lead his troops to the mountains to look for him, but was stopped by Xiao Luoyi: "He is still alive and will not be in danger for the time being. Brother, don't worry."

When Zhao Zhi heard this, he also hurriedly advised: "You have been sleeping for less than two hours a day these days. If you continue like this, you will be collapsed when the Second Master comes back!"

"How can I sleep!" Chen Huaixian glared at Zhao Zhi.

Xiao Luoyi patted Chen Huaixian on the shoulder and said, "Brother, it's useless to worry now. I will take people into the mountains to look for it tomorrow. I think we can find it..."

Chen Huaixian looked at Xiao Luoyi steadily, and when he met Xiao Luoyi's calm eyes, he inexplicably felt that he could trust her.

"Okay, I'll have someone summarize the results of the mountain search for you. I'm going to go get some sleep first..."

Chen Huaixian waved Chang Yong to come forward and told him to report the situation to Xiao Luoyi. He then went inside and fell asleep.

Zhao Zhi went in to take a look and found that he was snoring loudly in just a moment. He was relieved to be sure that he was extremely tired and fell asleep.

Chang Yong and others summarized the recent situation of the mountain search. After Xiao Luoyi heard the summary, he fell silent.

Chen Huaijin slipped and fell into an underground river while chasing King Shaoguang and disappeared.

There is a hidden cave in the valley, and underneath the cave is an underground river.

Shao Guangwang's men had obviously planned this beforehand. One of them jumped in first and hid in a groove next to it in time. When Chen Huaijin jumped in after him, he attacked from the side.

Chen Huaijin was unable to dodge and fell down.

There was a small opening in the underground river right there, and one could not see where it came from or where it went.

Although the soldiers behind caught the attacker, they could not find out the direction of the underground river after repeated interrogations.

Because this person doesn’t know either.

But everyone knows that if a person holds his breath underwater for too long, he will suffocate to death.

I think if the underground section of this underground river is too long, it would be difficult for people to avoid suffocation.

Chen Huaixian's men also tied a rope and dived down to look for it.

However, the underground river is pitch dark and there is no air at all. People have to get out after a while, otherwise they will suffocate to death.

The diver who was pulled out was still in shock: "There were only reefs and currents for more than ten feet inside, and there was no place to breathe..."

No one knows where the next exit of the underground river is, or where there will be another exit...

How to find this!?

In fact, before Xiao Luoyi came, Chen Huaixian was almost in despair. He blamed himself and regretted that he should not have let his second brother follow him to Pingxi Army.

If my second brother is gone, how can I face my mother in heaven?

Even the soldiers who were involved in the search felt that there was no hope. The only thing they were waiting for now was for Prince Ren to give up, so that they would stop looking for anyone.

But no one dared to say this out loud.

After listening to it, Xiao Luoyi nodded slightly, looked at the sky and said, "Go to bed early tonight, and when you wake up, go into the mountains."

The tents had been prepared long ago. Zhao Zhi had her own separate tent. Xiao Luoyi followed her into her tent, crawled in and fell asleep.

When Zhao Zhi came to see Xiao Luoyi after preparing the medicine for tomorrow's trip into the mountains, Xiao Luoyi had already fallen asleep.

Zhao Zhi looked at Xiao Luoyi's sleeping face and sighed with heartache: Ever since Chen Huaijin disappeared, Chen Huaixian has been like crazy.

Although Xiao Luoyi looked very rational now, Zhao Zhi knew that her calm demeanor was inconsistent with her inner anxiety. Fortunately, Xiao Luoyi's professional ability was always reassuring. If she said that a person was still alive, then he must be alive.

The next morning, just as it was light, the soldiers began to prepare breakfast.

The fragrant python meat soup was served and mixed with rice. Zhao Zhi brought a bowl to Xiao Luoyi and said, "Princess, let's eat."

At this moment, Xiao Luoyi's whole mind was on Chen Huaijin's whereabouts. She had no time to remind her that she didn't have to call her "Princess of the County Prince". She just nodded and took the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.

In just a quarter of an hour, everyone who was preparing to go into the mountains today had finished their meal and stood up.

Chen Huaixian also regained his energy and spirit, and he raised the flare in his hand.

"Whoever finds it will fire a red signal cannon. If they are in danger, fire a yellow signal cannon..."

Everyone agreed in unison, and then looked at Xiao Luoyi.

Xiao Luoyi took a set of spiritual hexagrams in her hand, which was rare. She first stood in the center of the camp, lowered her eyes and muttered something, then threw out the spiritual hexagrams.

As the spiritual hexagram fell to the ground, Xiao Luoyi pointed in one direction: "Go this way."

Everyone looked in the direction Xiao Luoyi pointed and did not move.

Chen Huaijin fell into the underground river in the opposite direction, but this direction was going up the mountain. How was that possible?
Could it be possible that the underground river could flow back up the mountain? !
Some people even began to doubt Xiao Luoyi's divination ability.

But Chen Huaixian, Zhao Zhi and others believed it.

So Chen Huaixian said in a deep voice: "Let's go!"

Chang Yong and others took the lead and went forward.

Everyone had no choice but to follow.

Xiao Luoyi walked in the middle of the team, and everyone spread out to both sides along the path Xiao Luoyi pointed out to search.

The mountains were high and the forests were dense. The crowd used hooks and other tools to pry open the lush weeds and vines to search for the entrance to an underground canal or river, while calling out, "Chen Huaijin... Chen Huaijin..."

As usual, there was no response.

Everyone continued to move forward.

Every time they arrived at an intersection, Xiao Luoyi would tell fortunes and choose a direction, and everyone would go in the designated direction.

As they went up, everyone became more and more confused: We are almost at the top of the mountain. If we keep going like this, we will reach the top in less than an hour!
Could that dark river be a volcano? Erupting from the top of the mountain!?

Distrust of Xiao Luoyi began to grow.

Fortunately, Xiao Luoyi was of noble status, and no one dared to question him.

Soon, Xiao Luoyi stopped at a valley.

There are many big rocks here, and vines and small trees of all sizes grow in the cracks between the rocks.

Xiao Luoyi looked around and stopped: The hexagram showed that it should be here.

But there are only large and small stones here, and the vines and small trees cannot completely cover the gaps between the stones.

It only took more than a hundred people a short while to search the entire rocky beach; there were no caves or underground rivers.

It's impossible for a person to be in a stone?!
Everyone looked at Xiao Luoyi blankly: What should we do?
Chen Huaixian also followed everyone in searching, but to no avail.

He walked up to Xiao Luoyi and asked in a deep voice: "Sister-in-law, what do you think we should do now?"

Xiao Luoyi did not answer. She did not tell fortunes again. Instead, she closed her eyes and ordered, "Everyone, evacuate the beach!"
