Chapter 15: Trapped in the Valley
A few people in gear identified one direction and kept walking, through a forest, along a bluestone path.
The trees were familiar and scattered around the valley, some knew and some did not, and occasionally some large trees could be seen bearing fruit that they had never seen before, but at the moment they did not feel hungry and did not pay attention to it.
There is a faint fog in the jungle, so it is not too far to see in sight, and the visibility is almost fifty or sixty meters, which does not affect vision.
Gao Jian took the lead with the broken sword, and walked for almost an hour, and a hazy meadow gradually became clear, and there was a saliva pool in the middle of the meadow that was the same size as the previous one.
The ten people went from surprise to surprise, isn't this the same pool just now?
"What kind of road are you leading, slut? I don't know if you're going around in circles. After running for more than an hour in vain, Wang Fatzi yelled at Gao Jian angrily.
"We've been moving forward, but are we hitting the wall?"
The so-called ghost hitting the wall, as everyone knows, is that at night or in the suburbs, you will not be able to walk out in a circle. This phenomenon is first and foremost real, and many people have experienced it. When the eyes are closed, or at night or in the countryside, there is a slight difference in the length of the two feet, and after that, people fall into a circle with a radius of about two or three thousand meters.
"You have a little common sense, it only happens when there is no reference, there are so many trees along the way, it can't be a ghost hitting the wall. ”
"But we did return to the pool, and you see, there are traces of our rest, and it can't be the same place. ”
If you look closely, it is indeed the same place just now, but how can you come back here, everyone is confused.
"Make marks along the way, and everyone will walk again. Mu Qing opened his mouth to suggest.
Take a break and set off again in one direction.
This time, it was changed to Wu Tian taking the lead, carrying the black halberd, paying special attention to the surrounding environment.
After more than an hour, everyone returned to the pool again, from surprise to panic, this time everyone paid extra attention, there was indeed no detour, and even some slightly curved roads were abandoned, preferring to walk in a straight line of the jungle.
This valley is really mysterious, full of eerie aura, unsettling.
Wu Tian and the others just wanted to leave here as soon as possible, it was so peaceful that it was terrifying, and there was not a single creature that could move in the entire valley except for the ten of them.
In the anger of panic, let them move faster.
Once, twice, three times......
They walked seven times, in one direction after another, and each time they would return to the pool, even in the direction of the stone wall that came out, and they could never find the stone wall again, as if they were going in endless circles in the valley, and they simply went crazy.
"It's a labyrinth here, you can't get out of it, are we going to be trapped here?" the fat man jumped to his feet like crazy.
"There must be a way out, as long as we are careful to find out. ”
"How do you find out? Tell me how the downed tree can be picked up by itself?"
A lot of marks were made along the way, but when I turned back again, the marks disappeared without a trace, and even the trees that had been cut down were automatically picked up, and there was no trace to be seen.
If the snow loach is a creature that has never been seen, it is acceptable, after all, there are hundreds of millions of creatures.
If the existence of long, smooth magical passages is acceptable, perhaps it is not impossible that the nests that are constructed by each social animal all year round and later used by people are not impossible.
But what about this mysterious valley? the strange stone walls, the magical pools, and these strange objects in your hands, even the downed trees can be automatically brought back, this is what everyone has seen with their own eyes, how to explain it?
"It's over, it's over, we're definitely not going to get out. Zhong Zhicheng was a little out of shape, his eyes were confused.
The timid have already cried in low voices, common sense has been broken, and faith has been shaken.
"I think we should be trapped by the legendary formation. Wu Tian carefully observed all the way, and even tried to lead the way with his eyes closed, but he still found nothing.
The formation, according to the record in the book, is indeed very mysterious, not superstitious.
In the era of cold weapon warfare, it is very important for the army to arrange the formation before the war, and it can be said that what formation is adopted is the key to victory or defeat.
Every famous army commander is proficient in the way of formation, such as Zhuge Liang, Sun Bin, Yue Fei and other ancient figures, not proficient in formation, how to transport troops like a god, like an arm.
"Formation, but even if you know that you are trapped by the formation, does anyone here understand such a mysterious thing?" Li Mu said.
Indeed, since firearms were used in warfare, the formation has been declining more and more, and many things that have been passed down through the ages have become useless in modern times.
"If we speculate on the composition, at least we have a direction to work on. Gao Jian agreed and supported Wu Tian's statement.
Wu Tian looked around, carefully observed the terrain, pointed to the mountains and said, "You see, this valley is circular, if we look at it as a circular Taiji diagram, can this pool and those buildings be used as fish's eyes?"
A few speculated that if this was the case, the pool was not located in the middle of the valley, and that the destroyed buildings were symmetrical in a straight line, which if this was true, it really meant that there were two Taiji fish's eyes.
Tai Chi originated in the Song Dynasty a Taoist priest named Chen Tuan, saying that yin and yang are said, but in the earlier period, people have expressed their views on the beginning of heaven and earth, and there is a saying that chaos breeds yin and yang, and all things are inseparable from yin and yang, which is the beginning of heaven and earth.
"Although we don't know the formation, but all the formation has a center, that is, the formation eye, as long as we find the formation eye, we have hope of leaving here. "Wu Tian doesn't know anything about formations, but he has read a lot of Zhiwei novels, and he has mentioned a lot of things about formations.
"You mean to say that the Eye of the Formation is not in the pool, but in that ruin?" Mu Qing's eyes lit up and he understood a lot of things.
"That side is ruined like that, even if the array eye exists, it is even more difficult to find, or even destroyed. Why don't you look for the pool first? Gao Jian proposed.
There is no other way, everyone can only take one step at a time.
Spread out and take a closer look around the pool. It didn't take long for ten people to grope through even inch by inch, and they almost tore open the ground, but they still found nothing.
"Could it be underwater?" someone suggested.
"Our only source of survival now is the water in this pool, how can people drink it when they go down?"
The girls were resolutely opposed, thinking that they would only be able to drink bath water in the future, and their diaphragms should panic.
"Then why don't you look for the ruins?"
Thinking of the scene of drinking bath water, the boys are also quite responsive. In the end, I went to the ruins to look for it first, but I really had no choice but to go into the water.
It didn't take long for Wu Tian and the others to stand on the ruins, the remnants of the wall were broken, and it was not difficult to see from those remnants of the crackers that this place should have been destroyed in the battle.
Looking for it in twos and threes, Wu Tian quietly hinted to Gao Jian together, try to stay away from the crowd, pretending to look for it, touch it, take a look.
When he was sure that he was far enough away, Wu Tian motioned to Gao Jian, who looked puzzled, stopped him from speaking, and lowered his voice and said, "Some of us are not human. ”
