Chapter 21: Illusion?
"I should know where he is, let's go." The village chief looked at Tan Wen and me and motioned for us to follow them.
There were ten of us in total.
"Village Chief, where are we going?" I wondered, you have to have a specific goal in mind.
"Don't ask, just follow me." The village chief snapped, seemingly very unhappy.
In fact, I was extremely suspicious of why he could know where to look for just by saying that he had disappeared at night.
"Oh." I whispered in response, hiding the doubt in my heart.
As we walked, we had left Nanyuan Village unconsciously, and the village chief took us towards the back mountain of Nanyuan Village. The mountain behind Nanyuan Village seems to have not been set foot on, and there is only one path up the mountain, and there are many weeds on the path.
Because the path is on the shady side of the mountain, even if it is close to eleven o'clock, the road is still not easy to walk, will it be cut by weeds, the trees on both sides are very lush, I noticed that the trees on both sides have a common characteristic.
I pulled Tan Wen and whispered, "Have you noticed that the trees on both sides of this road have a lot of scratches, which look like scratches of some kind of animal. ”
Tan Wen replied in a low voice: "Well, the strangest thing is that almost all trees have scratches of the same size, and they are neatly arranged. If it is said that it was scratched by a wild beast, it is impossible to scratch almost the same size on every tree, and only scratch once on each tree. ”
After the two of us whispered to the village chief, "What do you whisper, hurry up, if you go late, maybe you won't see your friend." ”
We stopped talking, and we walked along the mountain road, and in a short time the village chief was on the mountainside, and led us away from the path, and from the side of the path into the bushes.
We hurried to follow, as almost everyone had a hoe, so we dodged the bushes that surrounded us.
After walking out of the bushes, it was already in the woods, and the village chief stopped abruptly while walking.
We were a little confused, but apparently, the villagers weren't surprised.
I saw the village chief stop in front of us and stomp the green and yellow grass with his foot.
Because it was autumn, the grass and trees were a little yellowish, and we looked at the village chief for some reason.
I had to quietly watch what the village chief would do next. I saw that the village chief was about to pass a hoe where he was stamping his feet and stuck it in the ground.
However, when the village chief put the hoe on the ground, a gust of wind suddenly blew around, Tan Wen and I were a little at a loss, there is usually no such strong wind in the forest, but this wind came suddenly.
I blocked my eyes with my arm, trying to block the wind from blowing towards my eyes, Tan Wen also raised his right hand and put it in front of his eyes, and the wind had no intention of stopping.
"What kind of wind can blow in the forest, step on the horse!" Tan Wen couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.
We tried to see what the village chief in front of us was doing.
"Boom" I felt something hit me in the back of the head, because I was blocking the wind in front of me and didn't pay attention to the back.
The moment I was hit in the back of my head, I felt a sharp pain coming from the back of my head, followed by numbness all over my body, and I fainted.
I don't know what happened to Tan Wen, but the touch of the impact should be the hoe in the hands of those villagers.
I fell to the ground, and before long I woke up with a sharp pain in the back of my head.
Touching the back of my head, the pain was a little uncomfortable, I opened my eyes and found that I didn't know where I was, there was a fog all around, and I couldn't see the road clearly, I stood up with the pain, looked around, and found that Tan Wen was also lying next to me.
I hurriedly shook Tan Wen awake. When Tan Wen woke up, he looked at me.
"Why are you here. Where are we? Saying that, Tan Wen also looked around, suddenly exclaimed, and reached out to touch the back of his head.
"What's going on?" Tan Wen grinned in pain. By this time my pain had subsided a lot.
Tan Wen touched the back of his head and shouted that it hurt, but I didn't care, thinking that if I was knocked out, it would be fine after a while.
I lifted Tan Wen up from the ground.
Where is this? I also wanted to know, but the fog was sudden, and I checked what was on my body, and found that there was no less.
I took out my phone and looked at the time, it was 6:22 p.m., and we were on the mountain at about 11 o'clock in the morning, so we had been in a coma for eight hours.
After I told Tan Wen about this, Tan Wen also frowned and thought about it.
"Now that it's fog all around, what do we do now." To be honest, I couldn't make up my mind for a while, first, I didn't know if we were still on that mountain, and second, the fog around here was so bad that I couldn't see the road clearly, so I was afraid that something would happen if I walked rashly.
"It is said that there can't be such a big wind in this forest, but the moment when the gust of wind just now came was the same as the moment when the village chief of Nanyuan Village stuck his hoe on the ground before." Tan Wen analyzed.
Although we are still clueless at the moment, all this happened a little too suddenly.
"It's not a way to stay where you are, it's surrounded by forests, let's find two sticks, let's go forward, we can always get out." Tan Wen proposed, and at this moment it was already more than six o'clock in the afternoon, and it was dark early.
"We have to find it quickly, otherwise it's dark, let alone looking for Chen Bei, even the two of them probably have to stay here." For eight hours, I wasn't sure if we were still on that hill, and since the villagers were the ones who knocked us out, why didn't they kill us.
Secondly, even if it was a robbery, but none of us had anything taken from us, which made me puzzled.
We walked along the lost path and walked forward, but after walking for about half an hour, I noticed that the sight in front of me seemed to be somewhat similar to the place where we had woken up earlier.
"This place, we seem to have been to ......" I looked at Tan Wen next to me and said, Tan Wen seemed to have noticed this situation, holding his forehead, as if thinking about something.
"Let's make a mark and keep walking." Tan Wen said, taking out a dagger from somewhere, and then drew a scratch on the tree.
This tree is also a basis for our judgment, because when we went up the mountain before, all the trees we encountered had scratches, but the trees in front of us did not have such scratches.
We made the marks and continued walking. About half an hour later, we returned to the place where we had marked.
"Looks like we're lost." Tan Wen sighed and said.
Tan Wen didn't panic, squatted down, looked at the ground, and looked up at the sky again, it was still a fog.
"What time is it?" Tan Wen suddenly asked.
"It's about eight o'clock." I thought so about telling Tan Wen that I didn't look at my phone.
"Are you sure?" Tan Wen looked at me with a frown, and I suddenly wondered, I should be right, I walked for an hour, and it was about eight o'clock.
Looking at Tan Wen's eyes, I didn't know why he was asking this, so I took out my phone and looked at it.
The moment I saw my phone, I was a little surprised...... The phone shows that it is 6 o'clock and 6:25...... I was speechless, I remember I woke up at 6:22, and it was only three minutes......
"Six, six, twenty-five...... it, what's the situation! I shouted in surprise.
"Hehe, the speed of time here is obviously wrong, I know what's going on." Tan Wen suddenly chuckled at the corner of his mouth. I was a little baffled, but it was clear that every time the corners of the's mouth chuckled, I thought this thing was easy to handle.
"We should have fallen for illusion." Tan Wen said firmly.
"Illusion!" I suddenly scolded my mother a little, although I believe in gods and ghosts, but it's a bit too much for you to pull out the things in this kind of fantasy novel. What kind of enchantment are you going to say, I believe it, because this kind of thing can indeed be created with magic, and the ghost wall we are familiar with is actually an enchantment made by those lonely souls.
But illusion, I know that it can create illusions with magic, but this kind of illusion-making technique generally only appears in some witch Gu in Miao Jiang, and they call this kind of Gu.
"Yes, it can also be called Gu, I guess you know what Gu is, I won't explain, we should be Gu." Tan Wen explained it to me, and I realized that it was just a different name.
"Sit with me and recite ...... with me" Tan Wen meditated on the spot and glanced at me.
"You still know how to solve Gu?" I'm a little incredible.
"Don't ask, sit down and do as I say. The longer we stay here, the more we may never be able to leave. Tan Wen hurriedly said, and I also hurriedly sat down.
"All things are a spell, clear my heart, three clear spirits, and contain my essence and blood......"
"One mantra for all things, clear my mind, three clear spirits, and contain my essence and blood......" I followed Tan Wen and said.
Because I saw Tan Wen with his eyes closed, I also closed my eyes, and I don't know how long it took, the scene in front of me slowly changed.
