Long Sword and Jun Wu

Chapter 44 Cholong Green Cauldron
Dozens of people have experienced the chaos and escape for most of the day, and they are all exhausted, and they sit down along the rock wall to catch their breath.

After Lu Ziteng took care of several older uncles, he came to Lu Xueye and saw that she was not injured except for her pale complexion, so she felt relieved and thanked Gongsun Ling, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Gongsun."
Lu Xueye leaned against the rock wall, didn't speak, and didn't dare to look at Lu Ziteng.

"No trouble." Gongsun Ling stood up consciously, took a few steps away, and asked Lu Ziteng to take care of Lu Xueye.

After Pei Min and Chu Yan confirmed that the entrance of the cave was covered, they approached Gongsun Ling, "Ling'er, are you all right, are you not injured?"
Gongsun Ling shook his head, turned around to look at the structure of the cave, "It's really big inside."
Chu Yun: "Well, this place is so hidden, it should be specially built for refuge."
"That's right. The ancestors saw this cave before and felt that it was hidden and suitable for refuge, so they ordered people to expand it to store some food and water." Lu Ziteng had already walked towards them and explained proactively.

"Thank you for your generous help today." Lu Ziteng bowed to the three of them.

"Guzhu Lu is polite, as it should be." Gongsun Ling looked at the people around and asked, "Just now you said that there is food and water in this cave, can you bring them to everyone, we will hide here for the night , Think about countermeasures tomorrow."
Lu Ziteng nodded, "Okay, I'll get someone to move it here."
Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a loud bang coming from the depths of the cave, as if something had exploded.

Everyone in the cave was terrified, and they all stood up and looked into the depths.

Pei Min was the first to react, raising his Xuanqing sword to protect Gongsun Ling, and Chu Yun followed.

Lu Ziteng also held several silver needles and stood in front of Lu Xueye.

Lu Xueye looked at the tall and solid figure with mixed emotions in her heart.

The smoke and dust began to drift out slowly, and at the same time, a black figure emerged from the darkness.

Everyone was horrified, Pei Min and Chu Yun rushed over first, pointing their swords at the black shadow.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough..."
The smoke and dust dissipated, and a petite figure appeared. Accompanied by the coughing sounds, both Pei Min and Chu Yun were stunned.

"Wow~! I choked to death, bah bah bah~~." Judging from the voice, it seemed to be a young girl, and she seemed to have eaten a lot of ashes.

The girl coughed and poohed, and waved her hands to disperse the smoke.

The girl was so disheveled that she couldn't see her face clearly, but two people recognized her immediately.

"Wan'er."
"Xiao Wan!"
Lu Ziteng looked at the girl calmly, as if he was familiar with the scene in front of him.

Gongsun Ling was pleasantly surprised. After worrying all day, she finally found her younger sister, Gongsun Wan.

She walked over, "Xiao Wan, I finally found you."
"Sister?" Gongsun Wan put down her waving hands and looked at Gongsun Ling, very surprised, "Why are you here?"
She saw Lu Ziteng again, "Master? Are you here too?"
At this time, she belatedly realized that the cave was full of people, "Huh? Senior uncle, senior uncle, senior brother, why are you all here?"
"Junior Sister, so you are here. Everyone didn't see you, so I was so worried." Several teenagers who were about the same age as Gongsun Wan looked at her and scolded her.

Gongsun Wan scratched her head embarrassingly, "I'm refining medicine here, I don't know how many days have passed, and everyone is worried, I didn't expect you to send so many people to find me!"

"We...we didn't come to look for you." A young student blurted out his heart.

"Huh? You didn't come to see me, so what are you guys doing here?" Gongsun Wan didn't care, her big round eyes rolled around, looking at the dozens of people in the cave.

"We'll talk about this later." Lu Ziteng said at the right time, and first arranged for a few disciples to carry dry food and water for everyone to wrap their stomachs.

Gongsun Ling helped Gongsun Wan pat the dust off her body, Pei Min brought another bucket of water, Gongsun Ling wetted her handkerchief, and wiped Gongsun Wan's face clean.

A round and delicate face appeared, and Gongsun Wan stuck out her tongue playfully, "Thank you sister."
"However, sister, you haven't told me why you are here, and..." Eyes rolled around, looking at Pei Min and Chu Yun, "Who are they?"
Seeing her innocent and playful appearance, Gongsun Ling couldn't bear to tell her the cruel truth, so she introduced the two first.

Gongsun Wan smiled sweetly at the two, "Brother Pei, Brother Chu. I am Gongsun Wan, you can call me Wan'er."
Pei Min also smiled back, "Miss Wan."
Chu Yun just nodded slightly in return.

Lu Ziteng took dry food and water to Lu Xueye, Lu Xueye took it silently, and said "Thank you" in a mosquito-like voice.
Seeing that she could eat peacefully, Lu Ziteng felt relieved.Walk towards Gongsun Wan.

"Wan'er, you have been here for more than ten days, what are you doing?"

"Master, I am refining medicine here." Although Lu Ziteng was usually aloof and rigid, Gongsun Wan only admired him and was not afraid of him at all.

"Refining medicine?" Lu Ziteng looked at the bare cave, "What kind of medicine can be refined here?"
Speaking of this, Gongsun Wan became very excited, "Master, let me tell you, I found a big bronze tripod here, and this place is hidden, it is the most suitable for refining medicine."
"Bronze tripod?"
"Bronze tripod?"
Lu Ziteng and Pei Min were both surprised and suspicious at the same time.

Lu Ziteng glanced at Pei Min, and then said to Gongsun Wan, "Take us to have a look."
"Oh~" Gongsun Wan led the way and walked to the depths of the cave.

Since he said "we", Gongsun Ling and Pei Min also followed.

After turning two corners, it suddenly became a dead end.Gongsun Wan clicked a place on the wall, a stone door slowly opened, and a small room appeared in front of everyone.

Chu Yan curled his lips, "The organs of Qianjin Valley are really everywhere."
Lu Ziteng said: "Indeed, the ancestors were knowledgeable, besides poetry and medicine, they were also quite interested in secret ways of organs."
Although the small room was illuminated by torches, the smoke and dust still filled the air after the explosion, and it was scorched black everywhere.

Several people looked around in the room for a while, and Lu Ziteng asked, "Wan'er, where is the bronze tripod you just mentioned?"
Gongsun Wan looked around, identified the location below, and pointed to the ground in the northeast corner. "Well, it's right there."
Lu Ziteng walked around the mess on the ground and walked towards a large object on the ground.

After approaching, Lu Ziteng squatted down to check, and it was indeed a large three-legged bronze tripod, but it had been overturned on the ground after the explosion just now.

The medicine being refined in the cauldron also turned into black ash, and there was a sulfur smell in the air.

Although the cauldron was blown up once, it didn't shatter, and the Dragon Teng engraving on the cauldron was still vivid.

Chu Yan approached and checked with his hands, "The material of this tripod is unusual, and it was not damaged by such a big explosion."
Everyone was also amazed, only to hear someone say: "This is the "Cho (yáo) Longqing Ding". "
　The second artifact appears, please collect it
