Chapter 23: The Maze
Walking on the road in the direction of the "Giant Stone Forest", although it is now early spring, it has not yet radiated its due vitality, the earth has not yet recovered from the severe winter cold, only a few trees are dissatisfied with the cold oppression, and strive to break through the oppression of the soil, but it is only the beginning.
Perhaps it was because of this rare indomitable shock that Yang Gang thought: people live for a lifetime, and plants and trees for an autumn. If they are still like this, how can they fall behind? Suddenly, a thousand emotions arise spontaneously; What is the difference between oneself and them along the way! Isn't it exactly what is needed to fight for what should belong to oneself, to break through obstacles, to break through obstacles, and to be fearless? No matter how bumpy and dangerous the road ahead is, how can one allow oneself to hesitate and retreat for the slightest!
Maybe Yang Gang forgot the time of departure, or maybe Yang Gang was full of energy after a night's rest, and soon Yang Gang saw a sign: Danger, don't enter!
Thinking of what the man said just now, Yang Gang couldn't help but become serious. After Yang Gang's careful inspection, the situation here was not much different from what the man said.
Now Yang Gang is standing on a high place looking at the "Giant Stone Forest", saying that it is a high place, but it is only a little higher than other places. Although he was trying to stand on his tiptoes, it was a bit difficult to see inside. In this way, the unique scenery in the "Giant Stone Forest" was blocked in front of the door, "Danger, do not enter!"
Feeling that his feet were sore and still hadn't seen much useful information, Yang Gang's determination to continue to persevere was also gone. With a very easy step, he returned to the sign that stopped many tourists.
"You, you, you! have made several people hesitate; You think you can persuade people to return home, no! How many people have wasted their time because of this, hey, hey, hey!"
Yang Gang wanted to stop there, but he had come here, and he was unwilling to go in and have a look.
Looking at the boulders here, it is completely different from a few pieces at the door, most of them are the same as what they usually see, and with the deepening of the distance, it presents another scene; the high ground is scattered with boulders of different sizes, which can be described as strange, there are unusually flat and smooth on all sides, there are uneven potholes in the watch, there are those who can recognize the shape, there are those who have never seen their shapes, there are a few people hugging each other, and there are only the thickness of the thumb and the long ......
Seeing this, Yang Gang couldn't help but sigh that the magic of nature could create such a spectacle, no wonder the people who came here were reluctant to leave. If it weren't for the sign at the door, more people would have been able to appreciate this natural treasure up close.
Yang Gang was also fascinated, and before he knew it, he was already on the rise. Perhaps it was the gentle sunlight on his head that reminded Yang Gang, and he realized that he had been here for a long time, and now he remembered the urgency of coming over in the morning, so he just hurriedly sent himself away, and his stomach was indeed drumming now, and he unconsciously touched his dissatisfied belly.
I took out my phone and looked at the time, it was almost time! Yang Gang turned around and walked back, and when he saw that there were all forks in the road in front of him, he was dumbfounded! He was fascinated by what he saw before, and he didn't pay attention to the way he came from, but now it's good, his eyes were black! Thinking of the man in the Taoist temple, he said that there were many people who lost their way here, and some even lost their lives in vain. Yang Gangxin was also a little panicked.
He's not one to sit still. He didn't know where to go, but he had to give it a try, and he walked to a fork in the road in front of him......
Higashiyama City, inside a bamboo house.
"Isn't there any news of Manager Yang yet?" Sister Guo was eager.
"No!" Luo Jun replied weakly, as if Yang Gang had lost it in his hands.
"What did you do? Didn't you find out if he didn't come back yesterday?" Sister Guo was faintly angry in her heart.
"Boss, you also know, we don't have the right to ask where the boss goes, yesterday morning he told us some things afterwards that he went out for a walk, but this morning I didn't see him, the room was not found, we also thought he went out again, and the surveillance was only found that he didn't come back yesterday at all. Biaozi replied first.
"You...... Forget it, it's not your fault. Sister Guo seemed to want to say something, but she paused to comfort everyone present.
"Could it be that Feng Shao came to find trouble that day?" Jiang Xia finished speaking, and his eyes unconsciously drifted towards Yingzi.
"Why are you looking at me like this? It's none of my business!" Feeling that they were all looking at him, Yingzi also tried his best to argue, and even spread his hands, looking like "What do you love".
"Jiang Xia, you check that Feng Shao, if this is really the case, then I don't blame me for being ruthless. Sister Guo looked at Jiang Xia, and the anger revealed in her words made him feel stunned.
......
"Well, why are you back here just now?" Yang Gang walked for about thirty minutes, but after seeing the marks he had made earlier, he secretly said something bad in his heart.
"Why didn't I think of it?" Yang Gang slapped his head and immediately took out his mobile phone, but then his smile froze. It turned out that he wanted to use his mobile phone to defend his position, but he saw that it showed "no service".
"This is miserable!" Yang Gang muttered.
Now Yang Gang can be described as hot and hungry, although the early spring daylight is mild, but no one can withstand the time!
After Yang Gang continued to search for a while without results, he leaned in front of a humanoid boulder.
"Ah......" Perhaps to vent the grievances in his heart at this time, he raised his head and let out a long roar.
"Well, what is this?" Seeing that there was something about twenty centimeters above the boulder on his back, Yang Gang suddenly became interested.
Standing up, Yang Gang reached in and took out what he had just seen. This is a small wooden box, and a small piece protruding from it just stuck the box, so that it did not fall off, and Yang Gang took it a little hard when he took it. Looking at the box in his hand, this is made of sandalwood, judging from the degree to which its surface has been weathered, it is something of a certain age, "It may be left by a traveler who got lost here!" Yang Gang could only think about it in his heart.
I easily opened the box in my hand. What appeared in Yang Gang's eyes was an antique book, on which was written "Zhou's Nine Palaces Illustrated Book", and what did he think it was? It turned out to be just a bargain from a roadside stall. Yang Gang felt a sense of disappointment in his heart. The anguish in his heart is nowhere to vent, and he is about to throw it far into the air; but thinking that this object is so hidden, the preserved box is still preserved with good sandalwood, and it must have its extraordinary; so Yang Gang opened the "Zhou's Nine Palaces Illustrated Book" in his hand.
This look really shocked Yang Gang, it was all written in classical Chinese; if this was to be placed half a year ago, then Yang Gang could only sigh at the book, but he was famous in the school, and he persuaded the entire Chinese group teacher in the school. Now it looks like an ancient text, it can be a piece of cake.
Looking at it, Yang Gang was fascinated, the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became, and it wasn't until four hours had passed that he closed the book in his hand and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Whether it's true or not, Ma Shan will know. Yang Gang looked at the "Zhou's Nine Palaces Illustrated Book" on his right hand and said.
In less than twenty minutes, Yang Gang appeared in the place he had just entered.
"What the book says is true, it seems that this time I have found a treasure. This is the first time to follow the route pointed out in the book, and I am not proficient, it has taken so long, if I try a few more times, with the speed of my heyday, it is estimated that it will not take five minutes!" Yang Gang thought thoughtfully.
When Yang Gang returned to yesterday's residence, it was already sunset. He saw that there were a few more people he didn't know in the clearing, and it was estimated that they had come up the mountain during the time of the "Giant Stone Forest" today; and the middle-aged man who looked like a scholar before was still there, and the young couple had disappeared, and it was estimated that they had gone down the mountain; only two of the five travelers dressed as friends were still here, and it seemed that these two were interested in yesterday's sound and wanted to find out.
"I haven't seen you come back for so long, and I thought you were leaving? I heard that you went to the 'Boulder Forest'?"
"Well, isn't that famous, so I went to check it out. Yang Gang seemed to be talking about something very ordinary.
"It's quite famous, you didn't go in, did you?" the old man deliberately accentuated the word "famous" and asked, "How can you still get out after entering!" The old man seemed to realize that his question was superfluous, and muttered to himself, and the voice was even more inaudible only to him.
"Huh?" Yang Gang glanced at the old man suspiciously.
"Oh, I'm asking if you're going the wrong way. ”
"Not really, there's only one way to get there, so how could you go wrong? It's just going around in there for hours. Yang Gang replied lightly.
Hearing the answer of the person in front of him, the old man's heart was fluctuating at this time, but he was shocked under strong pressure, and Gu Jing Wubo said: "It's getting dark, there are still some meals in the kitchen, let's rest early after eating!"
Yang Gang followed the old man's point and saw that the Taoist who had introduced him in the morning was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks. The old man did not linger too long, and turned and headed for his dwelling.
Yang Gang walked to the kitchen to greet him for a while, filled the food with a large bowl and devoured it, although the food here was not as good as the Weidong Hotel, but he ate with relish, as if this was the delicacy of the world.
After dinner, Yang Gang walked around the clearing with a pregnant woman's belly in the faint moonlight, and when he thought that he had almost digested it, he raised his feet and walked towards the well.
"Wow, cool!" picked up a bucket of water and poured it into the basin, Yang Gang buried his head in it, and the moment he lifted it five minutes later, a pleasure for the rest of his life made him blurt out.
After freshening up, Yang Gang returned to the room that the old man arranged for him yesterday and cleaned by himself.
The moment he lay on the bed, a long-lost relaxation came up, and Yang Gang, who was tired for a day, also closed his eyes......
