Chapter 79: Pilgrimage to the Sea of White Mist Trees
There is a crack in everything, and that's where the light comes in.
Chen Pi didn't wait for Su Rourou to wake up, but waited for a voice message from Zhou Shutong, and the message was sent in their WeChat group chat for the eight-person self-driving tour. clicked on the message, and it was directly a chaotic busy sound, followed by the voices of Zhang Yu and Zhou Shutong, every word could be heard clearly, but the voice was so strange that it made the scalp tingle, as if it was choked by the neck, and slowed down many times.
"Don't go into the mountains."
"Don't go into the mountains."
"Get out of the way."
"Get out of the way."
"Don't come in."
"Walk, walk, walk......"
True righteousness is to be willing to warn friends to avoid danger with fear, Zhang Yu and Zhou Shutong must have seen a desperate disaster, and they don't want their best friends to fall into trouble as well. If it weren't for that, there would be no such voice message.
In fact.
A similar voice, Chen Pi had heard it once before.
Zhao Hanxian and several of them have also heard it once, that is, before Tong Yan's accident, they had sent a voice message to Zhao Hanxi, but that voice was to ask her best friend to save her. Zhang Yu and Zhou Shutong asked Chen Pi to hide as far as they wanted, and never go into the mountains.
Chen Pi stands in front of the hotel's tall floor-to-ceiling windows, looking to the southeast, where there stands a big mountain that does not melt all year round, Fengwei Snow Mountain.
Is it that mountain?
"Brother Yu, how could the fat man not save you."
"In your eyes, the fat man is so greedy for life and afraid of death!"
"Don't you want to lose face?"
Since it was decided to enter the mountain, it was necessary to prepare sufficient supplies and wait for Su Rourou to wake up.
A busy night.
Early morning.
Su Rourou, who had slept for a day and a night, finally woke up.
Chen Pi took a closer look, it was Su Rourou, not morning tea.
Although the period has not passed, the body looks much better.
After saying his decision, Chen Pi began to ask for everyone's opinions, and it was naturally difficult to enter the mountain, but he always felt that he was not very sure when he left everyone in the hotel in Luan City.
Weigh it again.
and took into account Yu Mengmeng and Zhao Han's physical strength.
In the end, Chen Pi decided that Lu Hang and Liu Qiang would accompany Yu Mengmeng and Zhao Hansy and take the train back to Nanchuan first. Chen Pi also sent Zhou Quan and Han Yun's phone numbers to the group chat: "If you return to Nanchuan, no matter who you are, if you encounter unbelievable danger, you must immediately call these two numbers, call anyone, just say that I asked you to find it." β
Why bother with this.
Chen Pi is mainly worried, there are not one or two dead things, will all eight people on this trip be entangled? What if Lu Hang and the others leave their sight, return to Nanchuan, and are directly attacked?
Their own side is in the Ming.
The ghosts of the dead are in the dark.
It's hard to prevent.
And that ruin, is it really that the immortals came down to help humans?
Everything is a question mark.
Pack up.
Chen Pi first drove Lu Hang and his group of four to the train station, and then drove Su Rourou and began to drive towards Fengwei Snow Mountain according to the navigation.
From the railway station to Fengwei Snow Mountain, about 80 kilometers.
Before leaving Luan City and entering the snow-capped mountains, Chen Pi passed by a very luxurious resort hotel, and the sign at the door said 'Crescent Moon'.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
The resort is filled with police cars and ambulances parked outside its doors.
It's a mess.
It's like something big has happened.
There was no sun in Luan City this morning, and the sky was getting more and more gloomy when I was driving towards Fengwei Snow Mountain, and I felt as if a thick black fog had gathered overhead.
Smack.
Smack.
Just drove thirty kilometers.
Snowflakes began to fall outside the car, very fine, very fine.
"It's beautiful snow." Su Rourou, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was wearing a thick cotton coat, almost wrapping herself into a cute baby bear, even if she was sitting in the car, she was still wearing a hat, only revealing a small brain.
"Don't you think this snow is abnormal?" Since receiving Zhou Shutong's voice, Chen Pi's brows have not been stretched, and his heart is heavy.
"Brother, relax, you'll be fine." Su Rourou held the warm baby in her hand, "Can you turn on the warm air more, I'm still a little cold." β
I shouldn't be very familiar with this kind of car like Prado.
Su Rourou pressed it several times, but she didn't adjust the heater, but the radio was clicked on by her.
"Hello listeners, here is today's information, according to the latest report from the reporter at the front. In the early hours of this morning, a vicious injury occurred in the Crescent Moon Resort Hotel in our city, and the specific number of casualties has exceeded 100. Suspect Feng Zhe, male, age 27 years old, previously the head of the purchasing department of the Crescent Moon Resort Hotel, the cause of the injury is unknown, the suspect is on the run again, please pay attention to safety, if there are any clues, call the police immediately......"
One person hurts a hundred people?
Could it be that a bomb was used?
Chen Pi pursed his lips, feeling that this news was really a bit exaggerated, this person named Feng Zhe should not be the backstabber.
The more I listened, the more disturbing I felt.
I just turned off the radio.
In just ten minutes, a thin layer of snow accumulated on the road, and the tangerine peel reduced the speed of the car slightly, and he was not in a hurry anyway.
If you want to find Zhang Yu and Zhou Shutong as soon as possible, you must use the power of morning tea, and you can't do anything during the day.
Tangerine peel can only wait, patiently, blah......, blah Wait.
Sometimes he is also reflecting, after crossing the doom system, although it seems to be very bullish, but the ability is strong, the responsibility is heavy, and it is very tiring.
When I dreamed, Chen Pi was thinking, in fact, it was good to be a carefree waster.
It's like the famous saying: "Life is more than what is in front of you, and there is baldness." β
Everyday baldness.
Come every day.
With the wind and snow and bad weather, it stands to reason that there should not be too many vehicles on this section of the road into the snowy mountains, but as time went by, Chen Pi suddenly found that the road began to be jammed.
Eighty kilometers away.
When the Prado was four-fifths of the way through, the cars on the road were basically not moving.
"It's not a holiday, it's not a weekend, are there so many people who go to Fengwei Snow Mountain?" Chen Pi opened the car window and looked outside, but there was no end in sight, and it was densely packed with private cars.
Su Rourou snorted her snot, holding a cup of milk tea with three bags of saccharin and drinking it in small sips, she really didn't think much about it, she really didn't know anything, anyway, as long as she was with Chen Pi, she was very relieved.
And.
In Su Rourou's opinion, the two of them had their first intimate contact last night, and they took a few mouthfuls of hot water, but they were really kissing.
Two people.
There is no name of a lover, but there is already a lover.
"Brother, don't worry, I'll help you check, it may be that there is a traffic accident ahead, so the road section is blocked." Su Rourou took out her mobile phone and began to check the navigation.
"Huh?"
"The signal is good."
"I turned on 4G, and the navigation APP didn't respond at all, and it has been buffering."
You can only wait.
Keep waiting.
The car began to crawl at a speed of less than 10 mph.
Snow.
It seems to be much bigger, but it is still a small fragment of fine, and it has become a big edelweiss flower here, although it is still not as good as the goose feather snow, but it is not much worse.
It seems that the closer you get to the Fengwei Snow Mountain.
The heavier the snow.
I drove a few hundred meters to the front, and it was completely blocked, and the whole road was motionless.
Many people outside the car got out of the car to see what was happening in front of them, and Chen Pi also got out of the car, just enough to smoke a cigarette.
"Little brother, borrow a fire." There was a white Citroen parked next to it, and the car had completely turned off, and at this time, a bearded uncle stepped out of the driver's seat.
"Here you go." Chen Pi didn't think much about it, and threw the lighter over directly.
Two people leaned against the car.
Lonely swallowing clouds.
Knowing that Suosuo's snow soon dyed his clothes white.
"Where's the little brother?" Uncle Beard asked casually.
"Nanchuan's." Chen Pi spat out a smoke ring and looked into the distance.
"That's a long way off." Uncle Beard paused, and suddenly asked again, "Also here for the event?" β
Activity?
Chen Pi was stunned.
Then shook his head: "What activity?" β
"Fire Phoenix Wood." Uncle Hu Zi found that Chen Pi really didn't seem to know anything about it, and then explained, "The reason why there is a traffic jam on this road today is because someone pushed an activity on an underground website, and the location is in the sea of white mist trees in this Fengwei Snow Mountain, because you have to pass through this road to enter the mountain, so the traffic will skyrocket." β
"The Sea of White Mist Trees?" Tangerine peel repeated.
"It's the Suicide Forest." At this time, a young man with curly hair came over, rubbed his nose, stomped his feet and rubbed his hands, and carried a camera on his shoulder, "I am Wang Wenbo, a reporter from Luanshi Daily, and this time I entered the mountain to track and interview the activities of the Phoenix Wood Bathing Fire." β
This Wang Wenbo is obviously a chatter.
Come over and start chattering endlessly.
However, the amount of information is still quite large, after all, he is a professional reporter, and he must have done enough homework before entering the mountain.
"There is a sea of trees in the depths of the Fengwei Snow Mountain, called White Mist, and in the name of the locals, there is also a name, which is called the Suicide Forest. According to legend, once this person walks into the forest, the compass will automatically fail, and the person will completely lose his direction, and the person who enters the forest will not find a way out at all, and will eventually get lost in the sea of trees in the forest, starving to death or freezing to death. β
"Most of the people who commit suicide by entering the sea of white mist and trees, in addition to starving to death and freezing to death, will choose to hang themselves. Legend has it that if you pass around the sea of trees in the middle of the night, you can hear the sound of ropes grinding, and if you are lucky, you can see dead things with fangs and long tongues wandering outside the trees, and the most strange thing is that most of those who hanged themselves were finally found with their bodies hanging upside down and their feet facing up and down. β
"With the passage of time, in recent years, people who commit suicide in the White Mist Tree Sea have taken more diversified ways. Some people go into the suicide forest and take sleeping pills or poisons; Some people choose to bury themselves alive in the snow when it snows in winter; Others even sharpened their hearts with ice and snow to pierce their hearts...... It's terrifying. β
"It's more than horror." The bearded uncle scolded and echoed, "It's disgusting, it's all a bunch of perverts, what's wrong with living, it's evil." β
In our traditional concept, suicide is a manifestation of cowardice and irresponsibility, but among young people nowadays, it is considered an act of responsibility for failure, a kind of apology. After all, the pressure of life is too great, 996 and 007 have crushed the children of this generation, plus many only children, they can't support themselves, so they have to bear the old people on both sides. If it is a man, it will be even more miserable, the house and car tickets, no one can afford to lose any of them, and people will face a layoff crisis when they reach middle age, and it is not as comfortable as dying to live. "Wang Wenbo doesn't look at his young age, what he said also makes some sense.
"It's all about this fucking society."
Uncle Beard scratched his hair, his eyes full of sadness, as if he was touched by Wang Wenbo's mid-life crisis.
β¦β¦
In the current TV series, those male protagonists are big villas, big flats, driving luxury cars, wearing famous brands, and buying companies at every turn, and they are really disgusting. I haven't seen that kind of very poor TV series for a long time, and Chen Pi's favorite TV series to watch is the kind of actor who is overwhelmed by poverty from beginning to end, and finally after his unremitting efforts and hard work, as a result, he is still overwhelmed by poverty.
This is actually the same as what Wang Wenbo said.
Some may be in the opposite direction.
If you have the courage to commit suicide, why don't you try harder?
However, hard work is called hard work!
Chen Pi had heard a popular aphorism before: "You haven't worked hard enough, and you're not qualified to talk about sudden death." β
Famous sayings for a few handfuls of dogs.
Lao Tzu is not qualified to talk about sudden death?
So what should a qualified person look like?
For six months in a row, I worked overtime until 2 o'clock in the evening every day, had a meeting until I fainted, and my nosebleed onto the keyboard, saying that I was bald?
How disastrous it is, in a society that talks about 'hard work', 'sudden death' has become a matter of seniority.
Someone might say, "Harvard lights up at half past four in the morning, and James sees Los Angeles at four in the morning every day." β
Who are you fighting against?
Didn't anyone tell you that Harvard's library is almost empty at 12 o'clock, and James rarely gets up at 4 o'clock?
Effort is really a very correct sentence - nonsense!
If you don't work hard, it's a kind of high-minded discrimination from above!
How should the gap between the rich and the poor between urban and rural areas be eliminated?
Is it just hard work!
Which migrant workers on the construction site do not work hard!
It's a good thing to be naΓ―ve, it's too naΓ―ve, it's stupid. Many successful entrepreneurs will say that hard work can change everything, and this may be the last tenderness that this cruel society gives to the Hanhan.
In fact, if you dig carefully, it is not difficult to find that many of those super bigwigs, many of their grandparents are in modern history books.
Efforts alone.
It can only be simple forever.
In a society full of stubborn diseases, everyone can openly take up the weapon of 'not trying' to discriminate against those who are forgotten, and there is unparalleled justice.
So.
Hard work has become the root of moral deficiency, and if society is not vigilant against this reality, it will inevitably breed an unthinkable culture.
Suicide.
That's where it comes from.
Chen Pi was inexplicably a little sad, and the phoenix flowers in the distant mountains were red and red, did it also indicate that momentary silence?
Chen Pi disagrees with suicide, but it is understandable that if a living person is not nowhere to go, where will he have the courage to end his life like this.
"It's better to die than to live, anyway, I don't have the courage to walk in." Uncle Beard spat out the butt of his cigarette and stepped on it with the sole of his shoe, stepping on it extremely hard.
"I just want to go and see if this sea of white mist trees is as evil as the legend, and then write a real report to warn the world." Wang Wenbo raised his camera and took a picture of the endless dense convoy.
On the camera's Led display, against the backdrop of the gray sky, these congested cars are like coffins one by one.
Chen Pi's afterglow glanced at the photo, and suddenly he was a little frightened: "If that sea of white mist trees is really as rumored, then over the years, how many unjust ghosts and ghosts will be accumulated!" Hanged ghosts, frozen ghosts, starving ghosts, abandoned babies...... Those dry bones that no one buried, the dense sea of trees that shade the sun all year round, the boundless yin qi and the layers of ghost qi. β
The scalp is tingling.
It is said that there should also be a secret investigation bureau here in Luan City, don't the agents here know the danger of the White Misty Tree Sea?
If once an outbreak.
Probably even more terrifying than the power of the atomic bomb.
Tick Tick!
After chatting for more than 20 minutes, the convoy finally moved, and everyone returned to their cars.
It's still moving forward at a turtle speed.
Through the windshield, the tangerine peel looked into the distance, and the clouds at the junction of the sky and the distant mountains were getting thicker and thicker, and the snow was falling even bigger.
"If you commit suicide, you will commit suicide, and if you can't live, you will be reincarnated, but why do you have to get together?" Chen Pi broke it hatefully.
That's when it happened.
Su Rourou, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, raised her head suddenly: "Brother, look." β
Afar.
The originally dark and heavy clouds suddenly lit up with a beam of black and white light, one end connected to the phoenix tail snow mountain, and the other end seemed to pierce the clouds.
The average person may not feel it.
But Chen Pi clearly realized that the terrifying and gloomy aura in the pillar of light was as thick as the underworld, but this was the world.
There was even a brief alternation of day and night in the sky.
A moment ago.
The sky is full of stars.
After a moment.
Daytime thunderstorms.
"What's that?"
"Is it the end of the world?"
"That's cool."
"It feels more handsome than the special effects of the movie."
"The heart is beating suddenly."
Su Rourou, like Chen Pi, was also staring at the pillar of light, and then said unconvincedly: "Brother, I think something very terrifying is about to come out of there, I seem to be able to see it, it's scary." β
Just when Su Rourou's face showed a look of horror, someone suddenly got out of the private car on the highway.
At first, it was just a few people.
Soon.
There are more and more people getting off the bus and walking.
It's like the walking dead.
It's mad to watch.
There were also people passing by next to Chen Pi's car.
The crowd of Muna walked on foot, facing the falling snow and towards the snow-capped mountains.
If viewed from above, the scene is spectacular, like a pilgrimage.
The only thing that is more embarrassing is.
Pilgrimage ...... for the Suicide Who is it for?
King of Yama?
