Chapter 322: The fearless Nanchun is back
At this moment, he deeply understood what Li Minghe meant.
I have never seen such a magnificent and breathtaking scenery in my life. Even before reaching the top of the mountain, just at the foot of the mountain, I was shocked by the beauty and was speechless.
Suddenly there was the sound of horse hooves.
"Let's go! Someone is coming!" Shopkeeper Shi pulled Nanchun into the woods and hid behind a huge rock.
Nanchun held his breath and looked out through the cracks in the rocks.
Not long after, a group of people came over.
Nanchun roughly counted and found there were about twenty people.
Shopkeeper Shi frowned and said worriedly, "The Bai family has sent more people. I thought that after Bai Xun became the head of the Bai family, he would relax his vigilance against Xin Chuanling. Now it seems that he has also followed the old path of the Bai family.
You have to be careful and don't put your life in the hands of others. Who knows, these people might be coming for you. That old bastard Bai Yishui won't let you go easily.
Nanchun had an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Although he said that if Bai Xun didn't care about their past relationship and sent someone to kill him, he would let it go. But now, when it really came to this, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Follow me! There is a small path that is not easy to walk on, but it is relatively close and can avoid the Bai family." Shopkeeper Shi said as he led Nanchun into the depths of the forest.
That mountain road is indeed difficult to walk on, it is steep and narrow.
Fortunately, Nanchun has been running in the mountains since he was a child, so everything went smoothly.
When they reached the edge of a cliff, Manager Shi took a look at the big tree in front of him, then walked forward from the tree. After walking about ten steps, he stopped, then squatted down and took out a very thick rope from the bottom of the cliff.
"Tie the noose in the bag around your waist. I'll go down first. The people down there won't recognize you. When you see the hook coming up later, fasten the hook on the rope to the noose just like I did, and then go down." Shopkeeper Shi instructed.
"it is good."
After waiting for a while, Nanchun saw the iron hook coming up, so he buckled it around his waist and slowly went down while holding the rope.
Below is a small valley with lush vegetation, perfect for hiding.
When he was almost there, a tall, dark-skinned middle-aged man helped him up.
"Doji, this is Nanchun, the grandson of Mr. Nan." said the shopkeeper Shi.
"It's great that you can come!" Doji, with tears in his eyes, shook Nanchun's hand tightly.
Nanchun smiled and said, "Nice to meet you! Nice to meet you!"
"Time is running out, let's talk as we walk. We need to quickly tell Minghe and the others that the Bai family has sent more manpower." Shopkeeper Shi said.
"Grandpa Nan often talks about you. He says you are very talented. When I was a child, I learned to identify Ming Dynasty artifacts from him, and he was always accurate at first sight." Doji said.
Nan Chun's eyes reddened. "He's exaggerating. I've only learned a little bit from him."
Duoji smiled and said, "I believe in Mr. Nan! I also believe in the judgment of Mr. Si and Manager Shi. If you really weren't capable, they wouldn't have let you come."
Shopkeeper Shi paused slightly, pretending to be ignorant: "This matter has nothing to do with me. The Fourth Master asked me to send him over, so I sent him over. If any problems arise, the Fourth Master will be responsible."
Duoji laughed heartily and said, "You're just being stubborn! When did you ever listen to the Fourth Master so much? Nanchun, everyone trusts you! Just go ahead and do it boldly."
Nanchun nodded: "Thank you!"
Nanchun followed them through many twists and turns and finally arrived at the entrance of a cave.
The cave is deep and dark, hidden behind lush trees, and the entrance is entangled with vines.
As we entered the cave, the light suddenly dimmed. Doji lit a torch and led the way.
"The road is uneven, watch your step."
The walls of the cave along the way were jagged and varied, like naturally carved murals. Nanchun reached out to touch them, and they were icy cold. The air was damp and cool, with a hint of earth and rock.
The three of them walked in the cave for about a quarter of an hour. A few rays of sunlight came in from the narrow gap in the cave ceiling, interweaving with the darkness inside the cave, forming a mottled light and shadow.
"Remember there are three holes. The one on the right is the correct one. The other two are traps. Don't go in." Doji said.
The left cave entrance is slightly smaller and appears to be more secluded. The middle cave entrance has a stone door. The right one, on the other hand, looks quite dilapidated, with a lot of fallen rubble at the entrance, making it look like it's about to collapse at any moment.
The three of them walked through the rock formation and entered the cave. The further they went, the narrower the entrance became. Seeing that there was only enough space for a small child, Doji stopped. He reached out and pushed the stone wall on the right, and it opened.
Nanchun took a look and saw that the space inside was very large, brightly lit, and decorated like home.
"Nanchun, you're here! Come in quickly. Are you hungry? The meal is almost ready." Li Minghe came up to her with a smile.
"This is what it is like here. I thought you were just setting up tents." Nan Chun was very surprised.
"The Fourth Master said that finding and defending the underground palace would require a long battle. He and I spent nearly ten years building this secret base.
There are several holes inside. If we are discovered here, we can hide in other holes through the safe passage. The fourth master said that we are imitating the moles that can dig holes. Li Minghe said with a smile.
"No wonder you can act so freely when facing the experienced Bai family. You are so far-sighted!" Nan Chun praised.
"The Bai family is good at finding tombs, but not good at fighting, especially this kind of long-lasting confrontation. That's why the head of the Bai family used the people under the Bai eldest son. These people's combat capabilities are much stronger than those before. We also suffered a lot from them." Li Minghe said.
Nanchun thought of Bai Yufeng. He looked like a martial artist and a tough guy.
"The Bai family has sent more than 20 more people. You must be careful recently." Manager Shi instructed.
"Didn't they say that the Bai family has changed owners and the Bai family can't take care of this place for the time being?" Li Minghe frowned.
"That old bastard Bai Yishui will not let go of even the slightest opportunity. You all should be alert, as we may be facing a tough battle soon. Don't fight too long, just lead the people away and prevent them from finding the entrance to the underground fairy palace." Shopkeeper Shi said.
"Got it. Everyone, stop what you are doing. Let me introduce you. This is Nan Chun, the grandson of Mr. Nan. From today on, he is one of us!" said Li Minghe.
After hearing this, everyone's faces were filled with joy and they hurriedly applauded in welcome.
The death of Mr. Nan greatly reduced their morale, and many people felt that it was hopeless to find the underground fairy palace.
The appearance of Nanchun rekindled their hope.
Nanchun looked at them, feeling very excited, and suddenly felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
He clasped his fists and said, "Everyone, I will do my best and not let you down!"
"it is good!"
"Mr. Nan's grandson is also great!"
Shopkeeper Shi looked at Nanchun and couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
The brave and fearless Nanchun is back.
