Another part of another abandoned house in the temple. Volunteers and clans sat around the bonfire, discussing the search for the lost three gentlemen of Huangshan.
Li Kong Bai looked at his seriously injured disciple and asked, "Guotin, where is Ru'er?"
Zhou Guotin replied, "Shifu, I don't know. According to shifu's instructions, we went to the treasure cave, but once we broke through the first floor of the collapsed cave, we couldn't go any further. At that time da shixiong suggested we try to go around to see if there is any opening anywhere."
Su Lie Jie, "The rocks here are too thick, maybe we can take other juniors and look around to see if there is any place that we could blast the cave wall open."
Yen Shoi Ming frowned unhappily, "I don't understand why shifu wants us to come to dig the cave just to identify some rumor of a dead person."
Yang Ru patiently said, "I believe shifu did this to beg the Mu for forgiveness."
Zhou Guotin, "I agree with er shixiong. We only heard that Mu Dishi is still alive, why dig a whole mountain to prove this."
Su Lie Jie, "That's why we need to get to the bottom of it. In order to avoid other rumors. If we see Mu Dishi inside the cave or we heard him playing his guzheng, it may be because he is still there."
Yang Ru, "Da shixiong, is it possible that the music pupuiesy played by someone else to lure other martial artists into a trap?"
Shu Lie Jie, "We don't know too." He looked at his four shidi and sighed. "Let's find a way in first. I heard that Wang gongzi dug a tunnel somewhere. If we can find that tunnel, we can continue digging from there, maybe we can get inside the cave that way ."
Just after dawn, a disciple ran up to the four brothers and told them that they had found the tunnel that Cao Wenyan had dug. The four brothers and thirty disciples set up camp in the place where Cao Wenyan stopped the digging.
It started to rain heavily the next day, so the excavation had to be stopped. On the fourth day after the tunnel was discovered, the group of classmates began to dig and continued along the way. At dawn, before the setting sun went down, the members of Huangshan was still digging. Yang Ru suddenly ordered everyone not to dig any more and make no noise.
Yang Ru put his ear to the side of the soil, closed his eyes and listened. After a while, he heard a fainted sweet flute melody. He listened for more than ten minutes before raising his head and looking at his three brothers.
Yang Ru said, "I heard a faint flute sound coming from the cave."
Yen Shoi Ming, "I heard that Mu Dishi is skill in music."
Zhou Guotin said, "Could it be that the rumors are true...? Mu Dishi still alive and buried in inside the Mu Cave."
Su Lie Jie, "Don't spread the word, first confirm and then send a message to shifu." He looked at the exhausted juniors. "Everyone takes a day off and will continue to dig tomorrow."
Cao Wenyan stood up and walked to Zhou Guotin, "Zhou qianbei, are you sure you heard the flute sound in the cave?"
Zhou Guotin coughed and said, "I didn't hear it, but san shixiong heard it."
Fu Yuanjun, "It's been almost a year, how could Mu ge be still alive?"
Yong Taihua, "Maybe there are some foods in the cave that shizun did not tell anyone. Shizun has always been a survivor."
Zhou Guotin, "Yong gongzi and Cao gongzi, I think Mu Dishi had met his end."
Cao Wenyan became impatient and asked, "What do you mean, Zhou qiabei?"
Zhou Guotin said, "That's because on the tenth day, while we were still digging, the melody of the flute suddenly stopped. Generally, at dawn every day, the melody of the flute will continue to be played until the sun set."
Yong Taihua forwned, "You mean, my shizun is dead, so you guy can't hear the flute melody anymore?"
Zhou Guotin, "We are going to confirm once we break through the cave wall, but we encountered an accident."
The people of Huangshan blasted the last solid rock wall to pieces, and a rotten breath rushed in from the cave. This caused the members in front to covered their mouths quickly, and some even vomit.
The first ten members began to act differently, and then turned to attack other members of Huangshan.
Yang Ru turned around and pointed at Su Li Jie, "Suo Baojing...I want to kill you and avenge my san shixiong." He drew out his sword and rushed towards Su Lijie.
Yen Shoi Ming, "Si di, are you crazy?" He leaped forward and held Su Li Jie.
Zhou Guotin, "Da Shixiong, what shall we do? They went crazy all of a sudden."
Yen Shoi Ming, "Don't kill them. Capture them and tied them up."
The thirty members of Huangshan finally captured all those possessed and tied their hands and feet.
Yen Shoi Ming said, "It seem like they became out of controlled by something."
Su Lie Jie, "The Mu is a master of medical skills, maybe they set a trap in the cave."
Zhou Guotin said, "If there is truly poison inside the cave, then it's not safe for us to enter."
Su Lie Jie, "You are right. Let's go back to the camp and send a message to shifu, asking him what he want us to do next, and then we will continue."
The group turned around, and a group of men in black were aiming at them with a crossbow. The leader of the group of ten stood in the middle, and his men stood beside him on both side.
Su Lie Jie, "Who are you?"
Man in black asked, "What exactly are you looking for?"
Zhou Guotin, "It's none of your business."
The man in black, "The things related to this treasure cave are all my business." He sneered at the three brothers. "Why don't you let the dead stay dead? Disturbing the dead will bring you bad luck. You people and your greed really know how to strive trouble in other people's peace."
Yen Shoi Ming, "The reason why we are here is different from the other sectors."
Man in black, "Then what exactly does Huangshan Sector want from the Mu Treasure Cave?"
Su Lie Jie, "Mu Dishi."
Man In black, "I will send you to see Mu Dishi."
The man in black motioned for the crossbowman with his right hand, and ten crossbowmen shot arrows at the thirty members of Huangshan sector. The arrows shot killed and injured the thirty members.
Su Lie Jie, Yen Shoi Ming, and Zhou Guotin hid behind the two dragon stones in front of the cave.
Yen Shoi Ming said, "When they put in new arrow, that's when we make our escape."
Zhou Guotin, "What about san ge?"
Yen Shoi Ming, "Da ge, what do you think?"
Su Lie Jie, "Right now, he is not in his right mind." He looked at Yang Ru, reluctant to leave their fourth brother. "We going to carry him out." He looked at Zhou Guotin. "Zhou di, you carry him and we will make way for you."
While waiting for the people to reload their arrow, Su Lie jie and Zhou Guotin flew forward to Yang Ru. Su Lie Jie blocked the pressure points on Yan Ru's chest, and break the rope that tied Yang Ru's hands to the stone. Zhao Guotin placed Yang Ru's bond hand over his head and carry Yang Ru on his back.
When the ten men in black reloaded again. The four brothers and the wounded from Huangshan Shan Sectors rushed forwards towards the man in black led by Su Lie Jie and Yen Shoi Ming.
The man in black drew his sword and said, "Kill everyone and leave no survivor."
The ten men in black said at once, "Yes, chief." They drew their swords and prepare to attack.
