Chapter Three: The Ghost Gate Pass (I)
"Ghost hitting the wall?!" Mr. Min asked, a little discouraged.
"There was a mistake in the distance, and the direction was right." Wang Xingguo said with certainty. He put away his compass, looked up at the sun, and estimated the time.
Ghost hitting the wall is a common name for the folk to get lost in circles, because the terrain is complex and the landmarks are unknown, or are deviated by the terrain, walk and walk back to the original place, if the direction given by the north arrow is correct, then at this time Wang Xingguo and Chen Badai should be near the monkey jumping off the cliff, this is absolutely impossible, Wang Xingguo recalled the road he had walked, after the monkey jumped off the cliff, he went to the east, climbed over a small hill, and then turned along the ridgeline to the northeast - this ridgeline is just across the past, judging from the distance on the map, It takes about an hour to get out of this jungle and see the meadow area.
There is a winding mountain road in the meadow area, and this mountain road is the only Yin-Yang road leading to the Ghost Gate Pass.
But where is the meadow now? Wang Xingguo looked up suspiciously, if he was walking along the mountain range, the direction would definitely not be wrong, could it be that the distance was wrong? But now the jungle is blocking Wang Xingguo's sight, the farthest place he can see is only 20 meters, in the dense forest, the most afraid is to lose the landmark and direction, and now Wang Xingguo has lost both.
If it is an ordinary traveler, there is no owner of the six gods at this time, but Wang Xingguo once got lost for a week when he was surviving in Yajiang, and at the same time cut off water and food, now this situation is simply not worth mentioning, Wang Xingguo's calmness gave Mr. Min a reassurance. Perhaps he was a little nervous after entering the haunted forest, but when he stopped, Mr. Min felt that he could relax, so he found a tree to lean on, intending to take a rest.
Wang Xingguo was going to pick a big tree to climb on, as long as he could see the situation outside the jungle, he could locate it.
"Dog......" When Wang Xingguo chose a big tree to climb, he heard Chen Badai call him by his nickname.
"What's wrong?"
"Listen...... There was a voice...... "Chen Badai tried hard to prop up his ears.
"Wind?"
"It's not...... It's the human voice......" Chen Badai was a little confused.
"People?!" Wang Xingguo turned his ear to the side to catch the sound of Chen Badai speaking, but what poured into his ears was the sound of the wind blowing through the trees.
Chen Badai's words made Mr. Min's nerves that had just relaxed tense again, he didn't know if it was psychological reasons, he always felt that there were eyes staring at him in an invisible place, although he knew that ghosts did not exist, but there were too many legends about ghosts from ancient times to the present, and this kind of legend has more or less left a mark in people's hearts.
"Do you hear that? Now it's gone...... It was like the voice of someone talking. Chen Badai said suspiciously, just now he obviously heard someone whispering, mixed with the sound of crying.
"Shh......h I'm listening. Wang Xingguo twisted his head again, put one hand to his ear, and tilted his head sideways, a posture that maximized the collection of sound waves to send them into the cochlea.
Mr. Min did the same, and it seemed to have some effect, and he heard a low cry.
"Oops! Haunted?! Chen Badai shouted in a low voice!
When Mr. Min heard the word "haunted", the cold sweat on his body seemed to solidify into a layer of ice on his body, but after all, he was a person with status, and at this time he wanted to smile and say something, but he couldn't think of what to say, and all kinds of ghost stories stored in his head scrambled to emerge.
At this time, the main image that occupied Mr. Min's mind was a group of people who could not see their faces clearly, pointing and whispering to him, as if discussing how to eat himself......
The transfiguration image became clearer in his mind, and Mr. Min seemed to see a group of Loulan people who disappeared 2,000 years ago, hiding behind a big tree, looking at him with indifferent eyes.
Not long after entering the forest, Mr. Min felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it, he shook his head vigorously and reminded himself: "Witch Gu, Loulan's witch Gu, they are guarding the coffin mountain with witch Gu!" ”
But it didn't seem to work well, and Mr. Min felt his head getting dizzy.
"Guangdan, why are you stunned...... Wang Xingguo had already walked more than ten meters, but when he turned around and saw that Chen Badai hadn't followed, he turned around and shouted.
Chen Badai knocked on his head, I don't know why, not long after entering this jungle, Chen Badai felt that his head was a little dizzy.
"Dog, don't you feel dizzy?" Chen Badai asked.
"Dizziness?!" Wang Xingguo has always been very focused on dealing with this difficult forest, and he didn't feel dizzy.
"I'm also a little dizzy." Mr. Min said, just now, Mr. Min began to feel a little tightness in his chest, thinking that it was caused by excessive physical consumption when he climbed the monkey and jumped off the cliff just now, but after listening to Chen Badai, he felt that it should be another reason.
"The woods are impermeable, stuffy!" Hearing Chen Badai say that he was dizzy, Wang Xingguo felt that he should leave quickly, maybe it was the rotten breath in the jungle that made Chen Badai a little uncomfortable, as long as he went to a ventilated place.
Wang Xingguo is very familiar with this kind of breath, when he was in the field survival training of the special forces, he was thrown to this kind of place where the earth is not good every day to survive, so no matter when, he can control his heart rate and breathing rhythm well, but Chen Badai and Mr. Min have no professional training after all, and the snorting and panting seems to bring more oxygen to themselves, but it will actually consume a lot of their physical energy.
Although Mr. Min felt that what Wang Xingguo said was not necessarily true, it was definitely right to leave here at this time, and he cheered up and followed behind Wang Xingguo, but this forest gave him the feeling that it was uncomfortable - quite uncomfortable, but he couldn't say it......
"Loulan...... I have been preparing for 20 years...... It won't fall down at the beginning......" Mr. Min cheered himself up, took two deep breaths, and tried to oxygenate his drowsy head to wake it up, but he felt even more dizzy, Mr. Min leaned against a big tree, and only moved again under Wang Xingguo's repeated urging.
walked forward for a while, but the voice did not appear again, Wang Xingguo estimated that if it was a sound in the woods, it had been found at this time, could it be that the woods reflected and amplified the sound of the outside world?
Wang Xingguo was puzzled, and suddenly heard two "bangs...... ...... sound.
"What's the situation?" Chen Badai was raising his head to drink water, and the sudden two sounds made him startled, and the water poured into his nose.
"Ancestors, go all the way, don't look back......" After a while, such a sentence came faintly from that direction, and the sound was divided by the woods and the wind, but this sentence faintly reached his ears, making Chen Badai's hair stand on end—this forest is really haunted!
