"yes, don't you look like her?" Dugu Chong was a little lost, "How I wish I could see her again, and I don't know how she is now?" Could it be, could it be that she is no longer there? ”

"She's fine now. Romance debuted," Murong Hong said with a smile.

"How do you know?" Dugu Chong was stunned.

"Isn't she from the netherworld among you? The people of you here are much better than our people in the Yang Realm, all of them are long-lived and 100-year-old, oh no, it should be said that they are 800-year-old. Murong Hong said.

"What do you do when you live that long?" Dugu Chong sighed, "If you can't be with the person you like, what's the use of living for a long time?" ”

Hearing this, Murong Hong's heart was also shocked.

Yes, what's the use of living longer if you can't be with your beloved? If he can't find Murong Xue's soul and can't let her return to the yang world, then how can he survive alone?

Love is a corrosive agent, once you fall in love with someone, your original self is swallowed by the other person, you are no longer you, destined to be entangled with this person, there is no end, unless, you no longer love her, or yin and yang are separated.

"Forget it, don't talk about it, it's all a handful of tears." Murong Hong said, "Let's hurry up." ”

'Go, where are you going?'

"I'll go to my ghost gate, if you don't go, then forget it."

"I'm not going to let you go there." Dugu Chong said very sternly, "Unless, you promise me, you won't tell me about our army of the Yin Kingdom attacking the Yaksha Clan. ”

Murong Hong's eyes rolled and nodded, "Okay, I promise you!" “

"It's not enough for you to promise me, you still have to swear to God!"

"What? Do you want me to swear? Murong Hong pursed his lips, "I won't do this!" ”

"You have to swear!"

"Okay, I swear, if I Mu Hongxue tells me about it, I won't die well!" Murong Hong stretched out his finger and pointed to the sky.

"It's not enough."

"That's not enough?" Murong Hong was stunned, "Please, I've sworn a poisonous oath, isn't it enough?" ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Dugu Chong's mouth, "You swear, if you tell this thing, you will never see your beloved, and you will never walk with her!" ”

"Hey, this poisonous oath is too poisonous, isn't it?" Murong Hong said unconvinced, "I don't even want my life, and you still want me to swear that I won't be with her?" ”

"You weren't supposed to be together." Dugu Chong said, "I know that you are a person who is not afraid of death, the poisonous curse just now is useless to you at all, you have the ability, you swear like this." ”

"This." This made Murong Hong embarrassed

"What? Are you hesitating? I knew the oath you just made was false. ”

"Who said that? Well, I swear, if I tell this, I'll never see my sister in my life, and I'll never be with her! ”

"Good." Dugu Chong nodded.

After making the poisonous oath, Murong Hong was depressed, but just when he felt too late to regret it, suddenly, someone shouted over to this side.

"Who's there?"

Several soldiers had spotted them hiding behind a tree and ran towards them.

"Run!" Dugu Chong grabbed Murong Hong's hand and ran in the opposite direction of those soldiers, the woods.

"Stop! Hold it! The soldiers shouted.

Of course, Murong Hong and Dugu Chong would not stop their steps, they had already entered the woods, and the footsteps and shouts of those soldiers could be heard behind them.

"Catch them, catch them!"

The two of them ran inside desperately, and the footsteps behind them became quieter and quieter, and finally, they disappeared silently.

But when the two stopped, they found themselves in the depths of the forest.

"We, we're still running into the forest?" Murong Hong raised his head and looked at the dense woods around him.

Here, there are trees everywhere, and it is impossible to distinguish between east and west, north and south, and the further you go, the more gloomy and dark it becomes.

"It's over, we can't go back." Dugu Chong also looked at the forest, "It's miserable now, we're lost." Are we going to die here? ”

"No, let's find a place to get out." Murong Hong said, "It's strange, why are those soldiers chasing after them, there is no sound, why don't they chase in?" ‘

"They may be afraid that they won't be able to get out if they go in, and this forest, after entering, they will get lost, and no one will ever be able to come out alive."

"I don't believe it, we can go back the way we came."

"Go back the way you came? Isn't that looking for death? ”

"Let's go back and fight with them, maybe, we can fight a bloody road?" Murong Hong said.

"Don't think about it, you can't get out of this forest as soon as you come in, and you can't go back." Dugu Chong shook his head.

"How is that possible? If we go back the way we came, will we not be able to go back? Murong Hong was stunned.

"If you don't believe me, you can go back the way you came." Dugu Chong smiled bitterly, "I promise, you can't find your way back." ”

"I don't believe in this evil." Murong Hong shook off his steps and turned around and walked towards the way he came.

Dugu Chong shook his head and had to follow.

The further the two of them walked forward, the trees in front of them not only did not decrease, but became more and more, and the trees blocked their view, and they couldn't see that there was a way out.

"What's going on? When I came in just now, there weren't so many trees here, so why did they pop up all of a sudden? Murong Hong was stunned.

"It's useless, as long as we enter the maze of this forest, we can't get out." Dugu Chong sighed, "That legend is true. ”

"What legend?"

"This forest has been spelled and turned into a labyrinth where you can't get out as long as you go in, no matter how you go, you can't get out, you can only die here, we can't go back." Dugu Chong looked up to the sky and sighed, "Could it be that I, Dugu Chong, am going to end my life here?" ”

"Don't be so pessimistic." Murong Hong said, "Isn't it just to find an exit, is it so difficult?" I don't believe it. ”

"Where is the exit here? You see, there are trees on all sides, and you can't see any trees on the side, and there is not a single road. ”

"Road? Ah, I see, our footprints! As long as we look for the footprints we just ran in, we can find our way back. ”

"Footprints?" Dugu Chong lowered his head, and there was a clear line of footprints under his feet and in front of him.

"The place where this footprint points is the place we just ran over, let's follow the footprint." Murong Hong lowered his head and cautiously followed the footprints in front of him.

But, as they walked, they returned to where they had been.

The footprints in front and back overlapped together, which means that they just turned around here and returned to the original point.

"Did you see that? We spun around for a long time, but we just went round and round in place. Dugu Chong was deflated, "This method of following the footprints is useless at all." ”

"Calm down, calm down!" Although Murong Hong said this, he also panicked in his heart.

What's going on, how is this place like a ghost hitting a wall, going around and coming back? There must be some mystery in this?

Dugu Chong was already slumped on the ground, raised his head, and looked at the sky.

Murong Hong was still standing, looking up at the sky. The sky in the netherworld is still black and red, with no moon or stars.

"The sky here is so strange, there is no sun, no moon, and no stars, how can this be oriented?" Murong Hong said with a frown.

"This is the netherworld, not your yang world, there is no sun, moon and stars here at all, and some are the sky here." Dugu Chong said dejectedly.

"It's such a strange place. Oh, by the way, since you don't have the sun and moon here, and you don't even have stars, how do you determine the time and direction? ”

"Every house has a timekeeping tool, which is to put a pole on the ground, which will reflect and change over time. We judge the time by looking at the length of the reflection of the pole. ”

"I know, this is the principle of sundials and moondials?" Murong Hong said, "But isn't there no sun or moon here, how did the shadow come from?" ”

He looked behind him, and his shadow was on the ground, but without daylight, how could there be a shadow of it?

"I don't know this, although there is no sun, moon and stars on our side, there is still light, so this shadow is still there." Dugu Chongdao.

"Well, why don't we set up a pole and take a look? Even if it's a simple sundial, it's fine. ”

"Poles? Where did the pole come from? ”

"Well, it's not, it's just this branch, Your Highness, borrow your sword to use."

Dugu Chong raised his head and immediately understood. He drew his sword, cut off a branch, and handed it to Murong Hong.

"Let's just stand this branch here." Murong Hong thrust the branch into the ground, and a long reflection appeared on the branch.

"What are you doing here? Look at the time? Dugu Chong was stunned.

"It's not about the time, it's about the length of the shadow." Murong Hong said, "Look at this shadow, what time is it now?" ”

"Let me see, this length, is it the time? Yes, it's so long, it's this hour. ”

"Well, that's right, it's 7 to 9 p.m., and that's the time you got it right." Murong Hong said with a smile, "If it is in the sun, then the sun at noon shining on the sundial is the shortest, the sun in the northern hemisphere is in the south, and the sun in the southern hemisphere is just the opposite." It's night, and there's no sun, but there's still the moon, and the direction the moon shines, ah, let me do the math. Here, this is due north, yes, due north. ”

"Wait!" Dugu Chong stopped Murong Hong's words, "We don't have the sun and moon here at all, I'm afraid you're mistaken, right?" ”

"That's right, if there is no sun and moon, where does your light come from?"

"Light?" Dugu Chong was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and looked at the sky in confusion.

"Where there is a shadow, of course there is light. If you have light here, of course there is a light source? Is that right? Moreover, this light source is certainly not fixed, and if it were fixed, the shadow of this pole would not be long or short. What else is there for that certain light source besides the sun, moon and stars? This means that you can also be illuminated by the sun and the moon here, but you cannot see the sun, moon and stars. ”

"Won't it?" Dugu said, "Could it be that we can also be illuminated by the sun, moon and stars here?" ”

"Yes, there must be another piece of heaven above your sky." Murong Hong nodded.

"Another day?" Dugu Chong looked at the sky in a daze??????
