On a barren Gu Mountain, devoid of any vegetation, Wu Shidao suddenly appeared, following the stone path from afar. He walked straight to the entrance of the cave and showed the guard his slip and Sect Cloud Scroll.
Wu Shidao was the second disciple of Zhu He, and many matters within the Internal History Department were entrusted to him by Zhu He. Getting a slip from the Historian was no trouble for him at all.
Moreover, he wasn't actually there to take another weapon!
Wu Shidao entered the cave and stood at the entrance of the stone chamber, where he saw the figure of Duan Rong inside.
Duan Rong was holding a long-handled Gourd Hammer, his eyes bright and focused. After a while, he placed the Gourd Hammer back in its niche, seemingly shaking his head in disappointment, and then walked to another niche beside it.
Wu Shidao watched for a moment and indeed, as Lu Geng had said, Duan Rong was truly observing each weapon one by one?
