Qi Huan was half-lying on a soft stretcher, being carried by Yu'er's two subordinates toward the entrance of the cave that was smoking black.

The guards and Luo blacksmith Yang Huazhong followed suit out of habit, but were stopped by Luo Fengtang.

"The rules here are that no one can enter except my father."

The middle-aged guard was worried and once again put his hand on the hilt of his sword and said in a deep voice: "It is my duty to protect my master. Unless I die, I will never leave my master for even half a step!"

Luo Fengtang admired the loyalty of the guard in front of Qi Huan.

But appreciation is appreciation, and rules are rules.

If you want to survive, you have to follow the rules here.

Just as Luo Fengtang was about to speak out, Qi Huan's voice came from the entrance of the cave.

He first called the guard's name and asked him to pass.

The guards rushed to Qi Huan quickly.

Qi Huan sat up, whispered a few words to the guard, and patted the guard's shoulder heavily.

The guard took a step back, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists in his hands, and watched Qi Huan being carried into the cave.

Here, Blacksmith Luo and Yang Huazhong also surrounded Luo Fengtang, "Tangyaozi, aren't any of us allowed to go down? Who will take care of your father?"

Yu'er came over and said in a clear voice: "Uncles, don't worry, there are enough people here, I will make arrangements for you."

Yang Huazhong smiled lovingly at Yu'er.

This Yu'er was originally brought back from the south by my daughter, who was still a half-grown girl at that time.

I didn’t expect this girl to have such great abilities, she’s really amazing!

Blacksmith Luo felt closer to Yu'er because Yu'er had stayed with the Luo family for a period of time.

"Yu'er, you have the final say now, don't you?" At times like this, there is no need to mince words.

Yu'er smiled and nodded.

Blacksmith Luo rubbed his hands, "That's good, that's good. We have left Feng Tang, his biological father, in your hands. You have to take good care of him!"

Yu'er calmed down and nodded again.

Luo Fengtang said: "Uncle, there is no need to give special instructions for these words. Yu'er has her own sense of proportion."

…

The four of them stood at the entrance of the cave and watched Yu'er descend into the cave. Immediately afterwards, the stones above the cave slowly closed together. In the end, they were completely sealed, and no clues could be seen.

Blacksmith Luo was dumbfounded and murmured: "Tonight is an eye-opener. Can there be people living under this ground?"

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have thought that anyone could live down there!

Yang Huazhong was no less shocked in his heart than Blacksmith Luo, but he just said with emotion: "There are many wonders in the world, I have indeed seen it."

Luo Fengtang was not too shocked by all this.

He knew that there were many mysterious things in the depths of Mianniu Mountain, which stretched for hundreds of miles and had countless strange peaks. And it was not just this one.

Not only here, but on this continent under our feet, there are so many magical unsolved mysteries, more than the stars above our heads.

All he is concerned about right now is his father's poison.

"Tangyaozi, since we have nothing to do here, let's go down the mountain." Yang Huazhong suggested.

I don’t know how Qing’er’s mother is doing at home alone.

However, since Tangyazi said that Qing'er and the others were back, and he couldn't go back tonight, Qing'er would probably stay to keep her mother company.

Luo Fengtang nodded, "I'm going to have a word with the guard over there."

The guard had been with Qi Huan for many years. He was in his forties and could be considered an "old man" around Qi Huan.

Out of respect, Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing both called him uncle guard.

Luo Fengtang came to the guard and saw him sitting under the big tree where Qi Huan had leaned before, with his sword in both hands and his eyes fixed on the big stone slab at the exit of the cave, motionless.

"Uncle Guard, let's go back first!"

The guard shook his head, "No, I want to stay."

"If you can't get in, what are you doing here?" Luo Fengtang asked.

"wait."

Luo Fengtang was silent for a moment.

"The time limit has not yet been determined. There is no need to stay here and wait." Luo Fengtang said again.

The guard shook his head again and hugged the sword tightly in his arms.

He had no parents since he was a child. He was dying of hunger on the roadside, and several wild dogs were waiting to eat his flesh.

It was his master who saved him.

In the past few decades, he has been following his master, going to the battlefield, starting from being a soldier serving him tea and water, and has seen his master's past glory...

His life belonged to his master. From the battlefield to the island, from the height of the sun to the disappearance of the people, he followed him all the way without regrets.

Wherever the master is, he will be there. If he doesn't come out for a day, he will wait all day.

If it doesn't come out in one month, he will wait for one month.

If he doesn't come out in a year, he will wait for a year.

He will wait until his master appears. This is his mission and his willing choice!

Since the guard's attitude was so resolute, Luo Fengtang couldn't persuade him anymore.

Everyone has their own choices and persistence, just respect them.

When he stood up to leave, the middle-aged guard suddenly stopped him again.

"I'd like to ask, the woman in white below...forget it, just pretend I didn't ask."

Luo Fengtang stopped, turned around and said to the guard: "My father's poison was given by an elder of the Black Lotus Sect. That woman... is a saint of the Black Lotus Sect."

Leaving behind the astonished guards, Luo Fengtang led Blacksmith Luo and Yang Huazhong down the mountain in the darkness...

Along the way, Blacksmith Luo and Yang Huazhong were filled with emotion, about the mystery of the poison, about Yu'er's ability, about the cave, and finally the topic turned to the guard who stayed behind.

"That brother is really loyal to Feng Tang's father!"

"really!"

"We are all down, and he can't enter the underground palace. What will he eat and drink there alone during the next period of time?" Blacksmith Luo became concerned about the food and drink of the loyal guard.

Yang Huazhong frowned, "It's really a big problem... If it doesn't work, how about we take turns delivering food to him?"

Luo Fengtang clapped his hands and cheered.

Luo Fengtang heard this from the sidelines, smiled slightly, but rejected the two elders' proposal.

"My uncle and father-in-law are interested, but there is no need to send food. He will find his own way to solve it."

"What method? Is it possible that he still carries a stove, bowl, chopsticks, rice, oil, salt and the like with him?" Blacksmith Luo asked with his eyes widened.

Yang Huazhong was also confused and puzzled.

Luo Fengtang smiled again and patiently continued to explain to them: "He is a martial arts practitioner, and his skills are on par with mine."

"He has a sword and a bow. When he is hungry, he can hunt. When he is thirsty, he can drink from the stream. When he is tired, he can pick wild fruits. When he is sleepy, he can use the earth as his bed and the sky as his quilt."

"On the contrary, my uncle and father-in-law go back and forth here every day to deliver meals. On the one hand, it's hard for you, and on the other hand, it can easily arouse the ideas of interested people and bring unnecessary trouble to Yu'er and the others."

Luo Fengtang presented facts, reasoned, and covered everything.

Tiejiang Luo and Yang Huazhong are both sensible elders. When I heard it, I felt that Luo Fengtang's words were reliable.
