The moisture has not dissipated, and the mist formed by water droplets falls coolly on the face.
"Grandpa, let's go."
As Chi Meng shook his right hand, the silver bell bracelet on his wrist made a clear ringing sound.
The old man from Miao Jiang stood at the entrance of the village with a group of clansmen, old and young, and there were a few young people holding the horses left by Li Jing and the others.
With a smile on his face, the old Miao Jiang man put his left hand on his chest and bent down to several people.
"Have a safe journey, you guys."
Glancing at Xiao Bai who was looking over there blankly with his horse head raised, Li Jing was thinking about who was older between Hou Qing and the old man...
Chi Meng returned the salute happily, turned around and said, "Let's go to Ten Thousand Poison Cave!"
After bowing her hands to everyone, Li Jing turned to look at the empress who was standing with her hands behind her back: "Let's go, it must be difficult to ride a horse for the rest of the journey."
Withdrawing her eyes lightly, the empress turned and stepped onto the quiet path.
After nodding to Hou Qing, Li Jing followed suit.
The figures of several people gradually disappeared into the jungle under everyone's gaze.
"Grandpa, how many of these people can enter the Ten Thousand Poison Cave?"
The old man Miao Jiang pondered and nodded, leaning on his wooden stick and walking back: "The Ten Thousand Poison Cave is not a dragon's pond or a tiger's den. How can I not enter it?"
"Can……"
At this moment, a Miao youth came running over there in panic.
"Grandpa...Grandpa, go and see!"
The old man Miao Jiang frowned and scolded: "Why are you in such a panic? Someone is here again?"
The look of horror on the young man's face did not diminish at all.
"I can't tell...just go and see it!"
The old man Miao Jiang looked at each other and walked quickly towards the entrance of the village.
When he hurried to the entrance of the village, the old man from Miao Jiang saw a group of people surrounding several Central Plains people, and they were discussing and shouting.
Seeing the old man Miao Jiang approaching, the crowd dispersed, revealing a figure in a red shirt.
Seeing the young man in red shirt touching his head and talking to everyone with a smile on his face, the old man Miao Jiang also had a look of shock on his face.
How could this person look so similar...

"Well, underneath this miasma is the Cave of Ten Thousand Poisons. As long as you can pass through this miasma..."
Chi Meng clasped his hands behind his back, walked up and down the cliff, and glanced at Li Jing provocatively.
"What about you, the guy with the golden light, can you pass through the miasma?"
Li Jing smiled and said nothing, looking at the empress.
"How about it, are you sure you can get in without relying on external objects?"
The empress was not too confident and shook her head: "If you want to pass through this miasma, I'm afraid you have to hold your breath to enter..."
Chi Meng arched his eyebrows: "This little brother is right, this miasma lingers all year round, and you will die if you touch it!"
The bone flute tapped his chin lightly, and Hou Qing asked curiously: "Then how did you get in and out of it?"
Chi Meng raised his head slightly arrogantly: "We in Wandu Cave have been soaked in special poison soup and will not be the first to be harmed."
Li Jing laughed in a low voice: "Then you can save your father alone..."
Chi Meng put his hands on his hips and raised his long eyebrows: "I promised to take you into the Ten Thousand Poison Cave and help me save my father!"
"Then don't take us to Gui... don't take us to find a solution."
Almost spilling the beans, Li Jing coughed, waved her hand and said.
The empress next to her had an expressionless face and took a step back with her hands behind her back. Didn’t this guy say he knew some kind of market before?
Chi Meng snorted twice and took two steps left and right.
"I have two ideas..."
"The first is to teach you insect techniques and learn to avoid poison..."
The empress raised her hand: "How long will this method take?"
Chi Meng shook his head: "Look at you, the longer you learn, the more insect skills you will learn. Only by mastering insect skills can you find opportunities to avoid poison."
Li Jing sighed: "If there is anything else, please tell me quickly. Don't be too pretentious."
Chi Meng raised the corners of his lips: "There is one more..."
"It's the poison-avoiding beads!"
Li Jing smiled secretly in her heart and finally said it.
"This poison-avoiding bead is a very rare item in our Miao territory. It can ward off poisons within a radius of several feet!"
Hou Qing asked curiously: "Where can I find such a treasure?"
Chi Meng put on a mysterious look and said word by word: "Gui Shizi!"
Li Jing raised her hand to stop what she was going to say next.
"Okay, let's go quickly to where Guishizi is."
Chi Meng's face turned red as he suppressed what he said.
"I...I, I..."
After a long while, he muttered: "Let's go!"
The empress couldn't help but rolled her eyes. Li Jing always likes to interrupt others...
Li Jing chuckled and held Hou Qing's shoulder: "Everyone is very busy, let's take a walk!"
Chi Meng shook her long purple hair and turned around angrily.
"You may not be able to find it in Guishizi!"
After patting away the dead branches and weeds in front of him, Li Jing walked at the front: "I am bound to get the poison-avoiding beads!"
Chi Meng made a sound and walked to another place.
"You're so stupid, go this way!"
At this time, the rising sun rose in the east, the fog gradually dispersed, and the figures of the four people gradually disappeared.
…………
In the evening, Li Jing stood in front of a cave with a red face.
"Is this the entrance?"
Seeing the miserable condition of Li Jing's face being bitten by mosquitoes, Chi Meng was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Only the Miao people in Gui Shizi know about it. You will know it when you go in!"
With that said, she took the lead up the stone stairs and entered the cave.
"Hurry up, Guishizi will open in the evening!"
When the empress passed Li Jing, she glanced at the red pimples on his face, and then left indifferently.
Hou Qing looked at Li Jing's face and said in unison: "Why is this insect just staring at you and biting you?"
Li Jing walked forward with a wry smile.
"Maybe it's because I'm the best person to bully..."
After the two of them stepped into the cave, they saw Chi Meng already standing in front of the pillar in the center of the cave.
The surrounding candlelight was swaying, and the cave seemed to be bright. The red acne on Li Jing's face had quietly dissipated without knowing when, and her two eyes were shining brightly in the candlelight.
"This is the entrance."
Chi Meng picked up a copper plate in his hand, his eyebrows arched.
Li Jing silently stood next to the empress who was quietly looking at the cave with her hands behind her hands, watching Chi Meng throw the copper plate into the small opening in the middle of the stele pillar.
As the ding-dong sound began, the surrounding candlelight suddenly turned into green light. Under the light like a ghost lamp, the stone floor under the feet began to shake continuously.
Just as Li Jing was carefully looking at the floor, the stone wall in front suddenly swayed and opened to both sides.
A wooden suspension bridge slowly appeared in front of a few people, extending until it was invisible in the darkness.
Chi Meng raised his eyebrows proudly and strode forward, his voice echoing in the cave.
"Let's go!"
Li Jing exclaimed and motioned for the empress and Hou Qing to follow. She took the lead and stepped onto the rickety wooden suspension bridge.
After a while, the stone wall slowly closed again, and the candlelight returned to normal.
Outside the cave, the setting sun has dispersed its last rays of light.
Then Li Jing heard a loud and energetic shout.
"Open the market!"
