Everyone rested in the small inn for a few hours before packing up their equipment. Following the route on the map on the silk book, they began to head to the Seven Star Lu Royal Palace.
For the rest of the journey, they took a small truck, a tricycle, and finally an ox cart. After a few hours, they finally arrived.
Third Uncle Wu had hired an old man who kept a big yellow dog as their guide.
Fatty looked at the old man and Big Yellow and said,"Third Master, we won't be riding this big yellow dog for the rest of the journey, right? That's really annoying…"
"Impossible, right?" Wu Xie said. With your body size, wouldn't you be able to crush it into a pile of meat paste?”
As they spoke, they had already arrived at a river.
The old man patted the big yellow dog and said,""Donkey Egg! Go over and swim for them!"
The big yellow dog was very human. After hearing the old man's words, it immediately licked its big tongue and jumped into the river. After swimming one round, it returned to the shore.
The big yellow dog shook its fur and shook off all the water droplets. Then, it lay on the ground to rest.
The old man patted the big yellow dog's head and said to everyone with a smile,"This dog is used to deliver messages. It can bring the ship over. When the time comes, we'll take the ship over from here!”
Chen Hao had already activated his Azure Dragon bloodline, so he had a keen sense of smell. He could smell the " stench of corpses " from far away.
Obviously, this old man was the one who had killed the boatman together with the boatman in the original novel. The big yellow dog and the boatman had grown up eating dead people's flesh, and the smell of corpses was thick.
As a fan of the original novel, Chen Hao naturally knew what was going to happen next. However, as a transmigrator, it wasn't appropriate for him to expose the matter, so he pretended that nothing had happened.
The old man led everyone around and finally came to a cave. He said,"We have two choices. If we go through this cave, it will only take one or two hours.”
He paused and continued," In addition, you can ride a mule over the top of the mountain. In that case, it will take a day."”
When Third Uncle Wu heard him, he quickly took out the map translated from the silk book and looked at it.
Everyone quickly went over to watch and found that on the translated map, there was indeed a simple cave icon. It was obviously the cave in front of them.
"Ha!" Fatty said casually. Was there still a need to say? They must have gone through the cave! I can't wait to go to the underground palace of King Lu to receive the cultural relics!”
When the old man heard his words, he smiled and said,""Hehe, bosses. This cave was not peaceful, and it was very dangerous to go there!”
When Third Uncle heard this, he took out a cigarette and gave it to the old man. He asked curiously,"Old man, what is going on in this cave?”
The old man lit his cigarette and took a deep puff."In the early years, there were a few tourists who entered the cave and never came out. Later on, there were rumors that the cave was haunted and there were many dead people. The River God only gave face to the boatman. Only he could bring people through the cave safely!”
The old man paused and continued,""It's still too early. The boatmen haven't set sail yet. Let's rest here for a while.”
Everyone looked at the time. It was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon. Why wasn't the boatman setting sail yet?
" What kind of schedule is this boatman working on?" Fatty said with dissatisfaction." The sun is almost setting. Why isn't he getting up?" How long do we have to wait?"
The old man laughed." Haha, it's useless even if you're anxious. Within a radius of dozens of miles, he's the only one who dares to bring people through this cave." Sometimes, not seeing anyone for a day could make people anxious to death!”
When everyone heard this, they sighed helplessly and could only rest on the spot.
The old man and the big yellow dog were resting under a big tree.
Seeing this, Old Third Wu ran to the front of the crowd and gave them a look. He reminded them in a low voice,"I smelled it just now. This dog has the stench of corpses. It must have grown up eating dead people's meat. There's something wrong with this old man too.”
Hearing this, Pan Zi said with a serious expression,""No way, Third Master. Is there really that thing inside?"
"What is it, Third Uncle?" Wu Xie asked curiously.”
" It's a corpse cave," Old Third Wu said with a frown." I've encountered it in other places in my early years. It's very dangerous…"
After listening to Third Uncle's narration, Wu Xie's hair stood on end as she said,""No way!"
Not only him, but even the little brother's expression became solemn. Clearly, that corpse cave was not easy to deal with.
Although Da Kui was as strong as a bull, he was very timid. His face was pale as he asked,"Third Master, then…then will anything happen if we go in?”
Old Third Wu shook his head to show his uncertainty, but said with a firm expression,""If you're afraid of ghosts, then don't enter the tomb. If you enter the tomb, then you're not afraid of ghosts! Moreover, we have so many experts present. No matter what it is, we will definitely go on this trip!”
Fatty quickly took out Glutinous Rice and Black Donkey Hoof from his backpack and muttered to himself,"Fortunately, I made preparations beforehand…"
After waiting for two to three hours, two seven-to-eight-meter-long flat boats rowed over from upstream.
A middle-aged man in his forties or fifties was standing on the bow of the boat. His face was pale and he looked lifeless. As he rowed the boat, he called for everyone to board the boat.
The two boats had a lot of space. It was more than enough to fit them and their equipment. They sailed towards the pitch-black cave ahead.
