"Don't be disappointed, girl, look"

The old man reached out and picked up the silver needle in the box and threw it into the air.

"Ahh

I screamed in confusion and hurriedly reached out to pick it up, but strangely enough, it did not fall, but floated in the air not far in front of my eyes.

"This, this"

I was amazed at what had happened suddenly, and it was just like the old man said, it was a needle that could fly in the air, but it didn't help me much.

"Girl, look at the direction of the tail line, that is the direction of the map, look for this direction, you will definitely find the map."

The old man was very patient to explain to me, a person who didn't believe in it at all.

I looked at the golden tail line, and sure enough, it always pointed in one direction, and it turned out that he didn't take out a needle to fool me to comfort me, but just told me the truth. I felt guilty and grateful, and cast an apologetic look at the old man in front of me.

"Girl, you put it away, when you get to the Forgotten City, you go to the City Lord's Mansion in the Forgotten City to find the City Lord, give him this letter, he will stay in the residence, you have to find the map at night, the chance is only this once, whether it is successful or not depends on you."

As he spoke, he handed me an envelope that looked like it was some years old. I carefully folded it and held it tightly in my hand.

"Uncle, do you know the yang time and the yin time?"

I continued to ask him, at this moment I still haven't forgotten what Meng Luo said to me at the end, his words definitely have any important significance, so I tentatively asked the old man in front of me, hoping to get a favorable answer from him.

"This, it's actually very simple, it's good if you think about it this way, Yangshi is a kind of saying for the forgotten city, because they are residents who live around the Sunless Mountain, so they also have their own unique way of calculating time, of course, they are different from the outside is that the calculation of time is not so detailed, but according to the actual division of it into life and death. And the time of birth is what you call the yang time, and the time of death is the yin time. I don't think you know much about this, and I won't tell you in depth, so you can understand it like this! It is our normal calculation that the beginning of the solar hour after two o'clock in the afternoon and the end of the solar hour are until eight o'clock in the evening. After 8 o'clock to 12 o'clock the next day, it is the time of death, and the two hours in between are the stage of fusion, and this stage is the time when the yin time and the yang time are converted, so if you want to go to the top of the Sunless Mountain, you can only go in the yang time. You must come back near the end, you must go down the mountain before eight o'clock in the evening, otherwise you will have to spend a yin time on the mountain, that is a kind of yang fear, I think no one can leave safely after experiencing it. ”

He explained that the tea on the table was already cold, and we didn't say anything, but he led me to the front and back of a room, said a few polite words, and left.

I walked into the room and lay down on the very clean bed. Gradually, I fell asleep in a daze.

That night, a lot of things happened that I couldn't control, and I learned two names that I would never have known.

When I woke up in the morning, there was not the slightest light outside the window. I simply packed my bags and prepared to leave.

But as soon as I opened the door, I saw the kind old man, who smiled and handed me a burden.

"Take it, you're on the road when you're full."

That's what he said, and it's still hot in the baggage. I knew it was cooked food.

"Thank you"

I didn't refuse the kindness of the old man in front of me, after all, this trip is quite far, I need this burden too much, and this also contains the kindness and gentleness of the old man. What kind of person is this, and why can he be so gentle.

As I walked towards the road ahead, I thought to myself, the feeling of this person walking always made me suspicious that someone was following me, but whenever I looked back, there was no one behind me.

What the hell is going on. Is it my delusion, or is it forced by pressure, and I always think about some things in my heart? Although this is true, every time I can't go far, I always feel like something is following me behind me.

"Who, come out."

I jerked around and spoke out to the empty road behind me. But there was no reply, and I could even hear my voice echoing far away in the mountain streams.

I continued to walk forward, but I was still vigilant behind me, but I couldn't go any further than I could go on, and a puddle of water blocked my way, and beside the lake there was a strange old sign that pointed in the direction of the city, clearly telling me that it was on the opposite side of the lake.

Looking at the dead lake, I was confused, how could there be a boat in this place, and there was no bridge, and it was difficult to swim through it.

I wondered in my heart, but I didn't say anything in my mouth, but I just estimated in my heart, but if there would be anything in this lake, I vaguely felt that the calmer it was, the more dangerous it was in the end, and in this wilderness forest where there were no people, I had no idea what would happen next.

"Miss, do you want to cross the lake?"

Suddenly such a voice came from the other side of the lake in the distance, and I had to be vigilant, and I didn't know how to reply for a while. Some books don't say that it's best not to respond to others in the wilderness, who knows what will happen next when you say yes.

"It's just me here, if you don't sit on it, I'm afraid you won't be able to go over this lake."

As he spoke, he rowed the boat to the lake in front of me, and it did not look very large, and it seemed to be able to carry only two people at one time, one of the boatmen, and the other of the passing boatmen, so that if the boat did not pass through the wind, I even doubted that it could carry the weight of me and the boatman.

"Miss, tell me quickly, do you want to take a boat, if not, I have other business waiting for me!"

As he spoke, he rowed the boat toward the other side of the lake, which made me anxious to open my mouth to stop him.

"I, when did I say I wouldn't sit. How much does it cost to get to the other side. ”

I asked him stiffly.

"I don't want money, you can get on the boat!"

As soon as I heard him say that he didn't want money, it was a good feeling, and I got on the boat without saying a word, but I didn't expect that as soon as he saw me get on the boat, he quickly rowed the boat to the middle of the lake.

"You're a good man, working as a free laborer on this lake."

I immediately felt that his man was quite good and praised him, but as soon as his boat reached the center of the lake, he stopped, and did not row ahead. (To be continued.) )
