Chapter 176: Desperate Situation
When a person walks at a fork in the road, he will take the only path because of his choice. No matter how long or short the path is, nothing will change until it comes to an end. And under the inherent flow of time, people can only move forward and not retreat in the road.
That's fate!
As for transport, there are two kinds.
The first is from the person himself. The strength of the life energy contained in the person himself determines his thoughts when he chooses a fork in the road, and the so-called flash of inspiration is actually a small explosion of the life energy of the person himself at that moment.
If you are weak, you will choose a bumpy path; If it is lucky, people will choose a smooth road.
There is also a kind of transport from the world. The world is a whole, and everything is interrelated. No matter people, things, wind, water, mountains, or fire, they will all affect each other's demise and prosperity. If a person can sense the influence of the surrounding environment on his or her fortune, he will also make a choice that he has not thought about.
But this kind of fortune from the world is also conditioned by human beings' own life energy. Compare yourself to a bucket, and how much fortune you can draw from your environment depends on your own capacity. At this point, people in the past gave it a noun, called "de".
If virtue is not carried, there will be calamity. You can't afford to have extra fortune that exceeds your own capacity......
Although there is only one world, no matter how the past and the future change, it is the only river of destiny. The fish in the river cannot feel that the details of the river are constantly changing.
But Li Jie: The Xuanyuan Ancient Tomb where they are now is an extremely special place.
The only place in the entire space is at the intersection of the rivers of destiny. No matter whether the undercurrent or the bright current in the river flows through the Xuanyuan Tomb one by one, passing through the Xuanyuan Tomb, and at the same time it cannot affect the slightest trace in the Xuanyuan Tomb.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the Xuanyuan Ancient Tomb is the only realm in the space that is above the River of Destiny!
Even if Li Jie's call can be reached on Zhang Liang's mobile phone, the Zhang Liang who answers is not necessarily the one Li Jie is looking for.
In countless forks of the road, there are countless Zhang Liang who has experienced different lives. As for Zhang Liang, who is the commander of the military region, or Zhang Liang, the gangster who is bloody, they are just two of the countless possibilities.
And why doesn't Li Jie usually feel the existence of "parallel space"? That's because the river of fate has only one clear stream, and those other possible undercurrents lurk in the unknown depths, and when the energy is exhausted, everything in the undercurrent will also die silently. These undercurrents can only be "discovered" in the Xuanyuan Tomb.
…… When Li Jie finally woke up to this, he finally understood why Zhang Lao Er only contacted him after he was trapped for a few days, and the way of contact was extremely twisted.
It's not that Zhang Lao Er is not in a hurry, but he can't contact Li Jie in his world no matter what. Even if he was smart, he knew that if he didn't adopt Xiao Cui in swaddling clothes, Xiao Cui would also cease to exist. So Zhang Lao Er simply dialed Xiao Cui's phone directly, and when connected, asked him to contact Li Jie and Lao Yu.
Due to the countless "undercurrents" surging outside the hall, Li Jie and the others completely lost hope of seeking help from the outside world. Maybe even after the battery of the satellite phone runs out, they will be able to find a "friend" who can really help them.
Without foreign aid, there is no ability to fight against the "Gate of Destiny" that guards the ancient tomb. Li Jie and Lao Yu finally accepted their fate and were in a desperate situation.
In three days. A group of people don't know how many times they tried, and the end result was the same. It will never be possible to achieve the purpose of crossing the arch.
And even Li Jie found that his ability was sealed in this palace, and now he is like an ordinary person.
The purpose of the builders of the Xuanyuan Tomb is unknown. People can't figure out why it's impossible to get in without hindrance, but it's impossible to get out.
Could it be a trap here? Trapping everyone who wants to explore the tomb here?
…… The food is quite sufficient, and it is not yet time to affect their lives.
However, once people lose hope, all previous concepts will change drastically.
Iron Bull, who had always seemed reckless and fearless, became like a madman on the fourth day. Sometimes he is like a child, constantly smirking and crying, crying tired and sleeping, waking up hungry and crying, and harassing other people's nerves over and over again.
Zheng Cheng took out a string of Buddhist beads from his arms and prayed cross-legged beside the pillar. But after a while, he would suddenly get up and run around the palace desperately, until he was sweating and panting, and then stopped, returned to the same place, sat down again, and picked up the beads.
Zhang Lao Er is the one who has been here the longest, so he seems more calm. tirelessly discussed possible ways with Lao Yu, and then kept getting frustrated, and then continued to discuss together after a while. Sometimes Hu Juan will also get involved, but most of the time Hu Juan is just hiding in the corner and pressing the phone constantly.
On the fifth day, Li Jie, who had been silent and alone, stood up.
His face was as if he had lost all faith. Unlike the others, the more he knew about fate, the more he felt that the insignificant human beings could not fight against the majestic destiny energy of this place.
"How did you know that Jing Ruohan and I were married? How did you know that Jing Ruohan was injured? ”
Zhang Lao Er looked up at Li Jie standing in front of him. At this time, Li Jie's tone was relaxed, his appearance was calm, and his arms were naturally relaxed and hung down on his sides.
But Zhang Lao Er knew in his heart that if he dared to say a word of nonsense, or the other party thought that he was talking nonsense, his head would move in the next second.
If Li Jie broke out, no one here could stop him.
"I saw it from the water." Zhang Lao Er pointed to the milky white pool in the center of the palace, and said seriously word by word: "I have seen everything that happened between you and Jing Ruohan in the water. ”
"Thank you." Li Jie smiled politely. Turn around and walk towards the pool.
Beneath the dragon's mouth is a pool of water, filled with milky white water. The surface of the water is as calm as a mirror, and only a slight ripple is caused by a drop of water.
Li Jie, who was lying on the edge of the pool, stared at himself in the pool with his eyes, and found that his face was a little thin and his hair was unkempt. The distracted man straightened things out with his hands.
I miss it in my heart, and Jing Ruohan's appearance is immediately shown in the magical pool surface, and she is like a fairy in a white dress and light veil.
Lao Yu, who was leaning against the pillar and closing his eyes, heard that there seemed to be something different in his ears, and after a pair of pale eyes opened and looked, he found that the tears that were originally dripping from Li Jie's eyes were sandwiched between the sound of dripping from the dragon's mouth.
Shaking his head silently, Lao Yu didn't bother Li Jie, and closed his eyes again.
Li Jie's expression was calm throughout, but his tears never stopped for a moment.
After a long time, he may have been harassed by the water droplets in the dragon's mouth. Li Jie tore off the strip of cloth on the cuffs and tied it to the dragon's mouth.
After a long time, there was a heavy grunt.
Lao Yu and Zhang Lao Er were awakened at the same time, and quickly looked, Li Jie's figure was already missing by the pool.
The two hurriedly ran over, anxious that Li Jie, a young man, finally couldn't stand the torture in his heart and chose to commit suicide.
And just a few seconds later, Li Jie's head suddenly popped out of the pool again.
After Li Jie stretched out his hand and wiped a handful of water droplets on his face, he shouted happily: "Come down, there is a road here!" ”
Lao Yu and Zhang Lao Er's mouths opened wide in surprise.
This pool had been in front of them for a long time, but they had never thought of daring to go down. Even touching the water in the pool is daunting.
There is no other reason, but because of the strangeness of the place, the mind has long been confused. Who knows what the difference will be with this pool of milky liquid.
After hearing the sound at this time, Hu Juan and Zheng Cheng, who were sitting in the distance, jumped up and stumbled over. Tie Niu, who was woken up, also straightened up, staring at this side with a wooden streak.
"I saw a path in the pool! This time, there is really another mystery! ”
Li Jie explained loudly, looking at the few people who were equally ecstatic with himself. Regardless of the fact that they were still stunned, they stabbed down again.
When Li Kit disappeared, the reverberation of the pool gradually subsided. Zhang Lao Er stared at the pool with a clear purpose, and sure enough, he saw a bright road appear in front of him.
Zhang Lao Er turned his head excitedly and glanced at Lao Yu, and then rushed in. Immediately, Lao Yu followed.
There were three people left in the hall, and they were lying on the edge of the pool. When they looked up at each other, they looked a little strange.
All three of them did not see the light of the road. And what the three of them saw was different.
Zheng Cheng saw a dry bone, Hu Juan saw Li Jie's face, and Tie Niu didn't see anything but his own reflection.
But this is not the time for them to hesitate. Whether they see the way or not, whatever they see, they will desperately march towards the only possibility......
