Li Tongya went back and forth, carrying a bleating white lamb he took up to Meichi Mountain. By then, the sky had grown dark. The two nodded at each other, and Li Tongya tossed the little lamb into the cave.
"Baa... baa."
The lamb bleated for a while, trembling as it tried to walk out.
"Go!"
Li Xiangping forcefully turned it around and gave it a swat on the rear with a stick, urging the lamb to baa loudly as it went deeper in.
The group waited a while, listening to the lamb's continued bleating, then exchanged glances and cautiously entered the cave.
The tunnel was wide enough for two to walk abreast, and the air was still relatively fresh, albeit a bit dim. As they moved deeper, the concentration of Spiritual Energy began to rise.
