In the morning, Gongsun found that after turning two, the little fourth son disappeared again. So he and Zhao Pu looked for each other layer.

The Demon Palace is huge in scale, with a total of nearly 400 courtyards, extending from the hillside of the Demon Mountain to the top of the mountain, close to fifty floors. So Gongsun had to search for it with Zhao Pu layer by layer. Finally, in a yard on the 33rd floor, he found the little four sons who were playing ten steps with two old demons while gnawing sesame cakes.

Xiao Liangzi is here too. I don’t know what the two old devils have taught him, and are practicing kung fu aside.

Gongsun was so tired that he couldn't breathe. Xiao Sizi sat on the table and chewed the black sesame seeds. The two old men were covered with white notes on their foreheads. They probably lost a lot. No wonder, they had to use dice to make ten moves. Perhaps no one in this world can throw dice than Xiao Sizi except the late Silver Demon King.

The little Sizi was playing when she saw an old man poking him in the back. When the little Sizi turned around, she saw Gongsun who was so tired that he couldn't straighten his waist, and Zhao Pu who was holding his arms and rubbing his waist.

Gongsun narrowed his eyes. He originally wanted to say a few words to him, but he didn't say anything after running away, but Xiao Sizi raised his chubby arm and tricked him, and then gave him a big smile. He had a tooth missing from his mouth. The sounds he made were all honey-sounding, "Dad~99~"

Gongsun and Zhao Pu subconsciously said "Oh!", "Why are you angry? I don't remember it!"

Gongsun walked to the table, asked the two old men a good question, and then hugged Xiao Sizi and asked, "It's time to have a meal, why are you here?"

Xiao Sizi said, "I just looked for Maomao and Baibai, but I didn't find it, and then..."

"What are you looking for Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang?" Zhao Pu was curious.

"Yesterday, Maomao said he would take Xiaoliangzi and me to visit the cave in the back mountain." Xiaosizi was quite dissatisfied, "Xiaoliangzi and I got up early today, but Maomao and Baibai disappeared!"

Gongsun picked up Xiao Sizi and asked while helping him take pictures of the black sesame seeds on his clothes, "Is it missing?"

"Speaking of it..." The two old monsters also touched their chins, "I didn't see Zhao Zhao and Yutang boys early this morning."

Everyone was chatting when they saw someone wandering in. It was Grandma Jiutou.

"Oh, Mr. Gongsun, you are here." Grandma Jiutou seemed to be here to find Gongsun.

Gongsun and Zhao Pu both looked at the old lady.

Grandma Jiutou was mysterious and pulled Gongsun aside to the side as if she was whispering. Zhao Pu went over to listen in a gossip, and the little fourth son also came over to listen.

"I have something to do, I want you to help me," said Grandma Jiutou.

Gongsun naturally agreed, "If you have anything to do, just give me instructions."

"But I have to go into the mountain." The old lady pointed to the forest in the distance.

Gongsun also nodded, "No problem."

"Okay." Grandma Jiutou took Gongsun out. Zhao Pu blinked and followed, and Xiao Sizi also followed.

However, Grandma Jiutou waved her hand to Xiao Sizi, "Little Sizi, don't go into the mountain, continue playing with them!"

Xiao Sizi saw Grandma Jiutou blink at him quietly... So Xiao Sizi turned her face and went back, grabbed Xiao Liangzi who was about to leave with him, and continued to play chess with the old monsters.

Gongsun and Zhao Pu were both curious about what happened to Grandma Jiutou, and they didn't care about Xiao Sizi, but they compromised so easily.

So Gongsun and Zhao Pu followed the old lady into the forest.

Grandma Jiutou used her light skills, and Zhao Pu hugged Gongsun and followed... It was also because the incident happened suddenly, so Zhao Pu did not take the Shadow Guard with her, and she thought about going in and then coming out.

The three of them quickly shuttled through the forest. After about half an hour, Grandma Jiutou stopped.

Zhao Pu and Gongsun discovered that at this time, they were next to a ruin.

Zhao Pu frowned and looked at it, and saw that there seemed to be a pretty decent courtyard in the deep mountains and forests, but it collapsed and was burned.

Gongsun asked Grandma Jiutou in confusion, "What's the problem with this ruin?"

"The problem is inside." Grandma Jiutou walked into the ruins with Gongsun and Zhao Pu, pointing at a stone tablet, and letting the two of them see it.

Zhao Pu observed the burned house and it didn't feel like a simple house, because there were very few wooden structures and were all made of large stone blocks.

Zhao Pu reached out and touched the texture of the stone, frowned slightly, "This is not a recent construction, it looks like a monument."

Gongsun found a stone tablet lying horizontally in the ruins, with strange words on it.

Zhao Pu asked Gongsun, "What's this?"

Gongsun touched his chin and thought carefully, "It feels like it is an ancient character, but it seems a little different. I can probably understand a little, and I have to guess the other one...well."

As he said that, Gongsun suddenly held his face and remembered it. Then he touched the sleeves and found a broken scroll from his sleeve pocket, which was in pieces.

Zhao Pu squatted down and looked at it and asked, "What's this?"

"Didn't the dragon pattern book bitten by a mouse that day?" Gongsun said, "I looked through it. One of the cases was quite interesting, only half. The first page was about a scholar who suddenly disappeared and his family could not find it. The next page was about half of the strange handwriting." Gongsun said, "That boy Pang Yu just opened it to me and asked me to see it, and I said it looked familiar... It turned out that the person who recorded the ancient characters had written it down!"

Gongsun said, comparing the page with the words on the stone tablet, "Look!"

Zhao Pu compared and looked at it, surprised, "Really! It seems the same."

"There are words like..." Gongsun said, wanting to ask Grandma Jiutou beside her, "Old man, where is this..."

But Gongsun turned around and was stunned - because Grandma Jiutou who was standing beside them just now disappeared!

Gongsun was surprised, "Huh? Where is the person?"

Zhao Pu was looking at the stone tablet, and raised his head and found that the old lady was missing.

Gongsun walked around the place and then looked at Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu stood up and looked for it, turned around and shook his head at Gongsun.

Gongsun ran to him, "Didn't you see her leaving?" Zhao Pu spread his hands and said he was not paying attention at all. The old lady is older than Yin Hou, and her light skills are unimaginable!

"Will you encounter danger or get lost..." Gongsun was worried.

Zhao Pu looked at him with a funny look, "I said you are still in the mood to worry that she will get lost? Without her, we will really get lost!"

Gongsun was shocked, "What should I do?"

Zhao Pu thought for a while, "I still remember the way back is in this direction..." As he said that, he pointed.

Gongsun pointed suspiciously in another direction, "How do I remember coming in from that direction?"

Zhao Pu held his arms and looked around, but he didn't seem to be sure.

"Just look for it separately?" Gongsun asked and wanted to leave. Zhao Pu grabbed him, "You are really brave? Don't go anywhere by my side. If you get away, you won't be taken away by the beasts in the mountains?"

Gongsun looked at him with his eyes squinted, but it was still quite terrible to think about it, so he followed Zhao Pu, "What should we do?"

Zhao Pu was thinking, "The old lady couldn't harm us. He probably wanted us to help her unravel these inscriptions. I guess she was so silly that she wanted us to study it ourselves, so she would walk away for a while."

Gongsun nodded, "That's true..."

"You continue to study, maybe you will be back in a while." Zhao Pu felt that it was safest not to walk around now, so he dragged a clean big stone from the side, sat with Gongsun, and simply studied the stone tablet.

...

At the same time, the same person sat on a big stone and stood up in a daze, Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang, who was trapped in the forest not far away.

Like Gongsun, they also stared at the stone tablet, but the difference was that Gongsun was looking at the stone tablet with words, while they were looking at the tombstone without words.

The two stared at the tombstone for a long time.

Finally, Bai Yutang spoke first, "What do you think?"

Zhan Zhao blinked and replied, "So hungry."

Bai Yutang raised his face and looked at the sky. It was noon... It was time to have lunch.

Thinking of this, Bai Yutang pulled something out from his waist, and handed it over to Zhan Zhao with his two fingers.

Zhan Zhao glanced at him and reached out to take it, "What?"

"I met your father this morning and he said you like food and let me bring it to you." Bai Yutang said.

Zhan Zhao took it and saw it as an exquisite rice paper bag. He opened it and saw it, "Ah! The cloud cake made by Fatty."

Bai Yutang was curious, "Fat Master? That's the one in the kitchen these few days?"

"Yes." Zhan Zhao nodded, took out a piece of cloud cake and stuffed it into Bai Yutang's mouth, and stuffed it into one piece himself.

Bai Yutang chewed it and it tasted good. Zhan Zhao was hungry, so it was naturally comfortable to be able to cushion your stomach. So...the two of them were holding a small bag of cloud cakes and eating at the grave while dazing.

...

On the other end, Zhao Pu raised his face and looked at the sky, "Shu Nai, are you hungry?"

Gongsun sighed, "I'm hungry, I've climbed the mountain for more than an hour in the morning to find Xiao Sizi!"

"I'm hungry too." Zhao Pu felt that he should get something to eat, but he was worried about keeping Gongsun for him. Zhao Pu also complained in his heart, thinking that the old woman was the same, why did she leave without an explanation?

"hiss……"

Zhao Pu was dissatisfied, so he saw Gongsun hitting his waist and stood up, "This stone is so hard, it's so tired to sit."

Zhao Pu subconsciously patted his legs, "Do you want to sit here?"

Zhao Pu asked casually, he was used to being funny with Xiao Sizi, and every time Xiao Sizi liked to climb on his lap and sit.

But what Zhao Pu didn't expect was that Gongsun took a look and sat down.

Zhao Pu was stunned. Gongsun took out a paper bag from his waist, and opened it.

"What's this?"

"I went to the kitchen in the morning and a fat chef gave me the cloud cake. He said it was Zhan Zhao's favorite food when he was a child, so he asked me to bring some to Xiao Sizi."

Zhao Pu reached out, took a piece of it and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing the cloud cake, while looking at Gongsun sitting on his lap.

Perhaps Zhao Pu's legs were much more comfortable than stones. Gongsun sat quietly and stared at the stone tablet and thought about his thoughts. He chewed the Yunpian cake. He thought it was indeed delicious, so he thought about leaving some for Xiao Sizi to not finish it.
