Survival rules for restaurants: cooking and eating melons at the same time

The next day, Gu Qingyun divided the people into two groups. Wu Huan and Zhao Huaiqing went to the stronghold that Shuanzi mentioned yesterday, while he and Xin Hai sneaked to the territory of Tiandi Sect and kept an eye on it.

Not daring to follow the same route as last time, Gu Qingyun took a longer detour this time. As soon as he reached halfway up the mountain, he was glad that he had taken a longer detour this time.

I don’t know what day it is today, but the entire Tiandi Sect is shrouded in a tense atmosphere. The sentry posts that usually have no sentries are now manned, and there are many guards patrolling around.

It was not until almost noon that Gu Qingyun realized what they were doing.

I saw Master Dihuang pushing the cart, and many strong men came out in front and behind. They drove the carriages, and the doors and windows of the carriages were tightly closed. There were three carriages in front and behind. The things on the carriages seemed to be very heavy, and the ruts were particularly obvious.

Gu Qingyun signaled Xinhai to hide in the tree, and the two of them did not move. Everyone drove the carriage up the mountain, and Gu Qingyun and the other man followed not far away.

The entire team was alert and on guard against their surroundings. No one made a sound and the atmosphere was filled with silence.

Only Master Rehmannia would occasionally shout out a direction, left, right, and so on.

Those people followed his command and moved left or right.

Gu Qingyun and his companion followed all the way for about two hours before the team stopped and Master Dihuang ordered them to unload the goods.

Gu Qingyun was a little far away and couldn't see clearly where to put the goods. After unloading the goods, Master Dihuang took out a rope and asked them to tie each other's hands. Soon, they were tied together and walked into the woods.

Gu Qingyun and the other man quietly followed into the woods. For fear of being discovered, they did not dare to move too much and kept looking for cover to avoid sight.

After entering the woods and walking a short distance, the two followed the footprints of the group of people who had just gone in. They saw a large cave in front of them. The cave was connected in all directions and was moist all year round. The two did not know where the group of people had gone for a while.

Just as I was about to walk out and come back after they retreated, I heard Master Dihuang's voice faintly coming from the bottom of the cave, "Put your things down, don't look at anything, and follow me."

No one dared to disobey him, for fear that Master Rehmannia would go crazy and leave them here.

The cave is full of potholes and interconnected in all directions. Not to mention those who do not go out all year round, even those who make a living outside every day will feel intimidated after entering, and fear of being swallowed by the cave.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Gu Qingyun heard footsteps, which went from vague to clearly audible. Gu Qingyun and the other man hid outside the cave, not daring to make a sound.

Sure enough, as soon as Master Di Huang reached the door, he looked around and confirmed that there were no other footprints before saying, "Pull each other's ropes, untie them in front of the car, and go back to the village."

Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent, as if it was set.

Soon, the sounds of the carriage and people's footsteps faded away.

Gu Qingyun signaled Xinhai to go into the cave. The two did not know if there was anyone else in the cave, so they still did not dare to make too much noise. "Let's go down and take a look. If there is anyone, knock them down first."

Xinhai nodded and followed Gu Qingyun downstairs.

Following the path that the group of people just came up, the two men bent over and did not go down. There were actually stairs. It seemed that this place had been built very well.

After walking for a while, they reached the bottom of the cave. There were many large and small holes in it. There were a lot of supplies in each hole, including rice, flour, grain, oil, and other vegetables, fruits and melons that could be stored. Some of them even contained meat, but it was basically bacon.

When you look inside the cave, you will see a wide variety of goods on display. If you don’t know, you might think it is a small shop. The decoration is also unique.

The two quickly checked all the supplies in the cave and found that there were different symbols on each cave entrance. "Shaoqing, what do these symbols mean?"

Gu Qingyun took a look and whispered, "I don't know, maybe different supplies? That's not right, could it be that more than one religion is storing supplies here?"

Xinhai couldn't figure it out, and even looked left and right, but something didn't seem right. If they were different materials, why were some of the meats placed under the triangle and some under the circle?

"Different religions?" Xinhai was stunned. If so, then this case would become more and more outrageous as it is investigated?

Gu Qingyun quickly confirmed this idea. There was a small mechanism behind the stone wall. It was so small that it could not be found at all without careful observation.

After pressing the mechanism, several pieces of paper appeared inside. Gu Qingyun couldn't see clearly, so he took the pieces of paper and walked a few steps, coming to a slightly brighter place.

All I saw written on it were the Tiandi Sect [straight, straight, straight], the Tianshi Sect [straight, straight, straight, one horizontal line], the Dishi Sect [straight, one horizontal line], the Andi Sect [straight, straight, straight, one horizontal and one vertical line], and the Antian Sect [straight, straight, straight].

The moment Gu Qingyun finished reading, Xin Hai was also stunned. What was this? What kind of record was this? Who recorded it? Could it be that there was another chief teacher?

"Young Master...this..." Xinhai said helplessly.

Gu Qingyun had not expected this to happen. He wrote down the contents of the note with a pen, then looked around to see if there were any other passages. After confirming that they did not go down to a lower cave, the two left the cave.

This time, the two took a different route and found themselves on the other side of the cave.

The two of them walked back and forth four or five times before they checked all the exits. It turned out that these five groups of people had basically never seen each other.

The five roads leading out do not intersect and have no meeting point. Although the back of the cave is not very far away, it is full of trees and grass, so once people go in, they can't see clearly.

After Gu Qingyun took out a pen and paper to draw the structure of the question and the approximate amount of materials inside, he and Xinhai sneaked back to Tiandi Church.

It was the same this time. Gu Qingyun didn't dare to return the same way. He wanted to go back and take another look, but the mountain road was complicated and he was afraid of getting lost. He could only sneak out like before.

There was no one watching behind Suo Xin, so the two of them walked extremely carefully and finally returned to the mountainside outside the Tiandi Sect.

Perhaps because the goods had been delivered, the atmosphere in the Tiandi Cult was not as tense as before, and even a little lively. Young women and children were working in the fields, occasionally chatting and laughing.

"Why are there no old people here?" Xinhai asked.

"Either these people were sent away before they could be raised to old age, or the village was not established that long ago, so there are no elderly people here." Gu Qingyun lowered his head and thought for a while, then sighed.

The two men had been squatting there from the afternoon until the evening. The security here was not strict, but not loose either. The men took shifts, and each of them not only had to look around, but also at the people in front of them, as if they were afraid that the people in front of them would suddenly disappear or run away.

Gu Qingyun and the other man wrote down everything they saw, and then went down the mountain under the cover of night. No matter what, they would have to bring more people with them next time, otherwise, in a situation like today, there would be no one to help check whether there were other people in the cave.
