Chapter 60: The Blocked Road

"Oh,, I'll just say how do you feel so familiar this way, it turns out that we have gone back." The Taoist priest looked at the town below, and his eyes were about to pop out.

"But when did we reverse course? I don't remember any detours along the way, this, this can't be! ”

The Taoist priest stared at the town for a while, and under the background of the thunder, a layer of black mist slowly spread from the direction of the elm ditch and spread towards the town, almost covering half of the town. Seeing this scene, the Taoist priest's face suddenly changed: "Oops, the ghast has rushed out of the canyon and has spread to the town!" We don't have time to think about it anymore, let's go, try again. ”

As he spoke, he beckoned us to go. Soon, we came to the stone gate again, the thick fog shrouded the situation on the opposite side of the door, if there is a cat, it can only be that there is a problem with this place.

This time we didn't rush in, the Taoist priest looked in front of the stone gate for a long time, and didn't see a reason, so I said to him, or you go in first, we are waiting here, if you go in and turn back, it means that this door is a ghost.

There is only this way in the current situation, we watched the figure of the Taoist priest disappear into the dense fog under the archway, and somehow, a wave of anxiety suddenly rose in my heart. Not long after this feeling arose, a shadow appeared in the thick fog, and our hearts were suspended, and by the time the Taoist priest came out completely, our hearts were already half cold.

Seeing us, the Taoist priest was also taken aback, saying that he had been walking in a straight line after entering the fog, how could he have come around and come back?

I asked him if we had encountered a ghost hitting the wall, and the Taoist priest shook his head and said that it was impossible, if the ghost hit the wall, he would not be able to see it, and besides, I have ghost eyes, even if it is a powerful ghost hitting the wall, I can see it.

Hearing him say this, I was a little flustered and said, what should I do? Seeing that the exit is right in front of you, you can't go alive or dead?

At this time, Lin Qiaoer suddenly put forward her opinion, saying that there are actually subtle differences between people's legs when walking, such as the long distance of the left leg and the short distance of the right leg. In normal times, we use our eyes to constantly correct the direction, so there is no possibility of detouring. But now it is night, and there is a thick fog obscuring the vision, and there are no eyes to correct the direction, although we feel that we are walking in a straight line, in fact, we are walking according to instinct, so it must be a circle when we come out, and the road itself is not wide, and walking in a circle is bound to fall off the cliff, so we unconsciously turned back.

To solve this dilemma is actually very simple, we only need to hold on to the side of the highway rock wall, people may have the illusion that the direction is wrong, this mountain wall will not also bend over, right?

The Taoist priest and I exchanged glances and thought it was feasible, so I took a piece of gold from my backpack and placed it on the side of the road as a marker. The Taoist priest's eyes widened, and he scolded me for being a waste, it's too late for such a good thing to feel distressed, and you actually use it as a mark.

I told him not to ink, just a piece of gold, we have a lot of it in our backpack, and there is a legend in my hometown, that gold can ward off evil spirits, and gold can buy the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods that stand in the way, if this piece of gold can really keep us out safely, it will be worth it.

When the Taoist priest heard this, he stopped talking, and we packed our luggage, and the five of us clinged to the mountain rock and got into the dense fog under the archway.

This time I walked at the front, touching the uneven stone wall with both hands, and slowly moving forward. When I came to Fengyang, I remember that the stone wall on one side of the highway stretched for two or three kilometers, but after walking less than five or six meters, I suddenly saw a fault in front of me, the rock was gone, the road was gone, and the foot was an empty cliff, the fog was thick, and I couldn't see how deep it was.

I said in my heart that the dog's feet were really exposed, we have been walking against the rock wall, how can there be a cliff, this sudden extra fault is definitely a fantasy, if we turn back because of this, we will definitely go back again, damn, this fog is really problematic.

Thinking about this, I naturally couldn't turn back, sneered and stepped on it, but what I never expected was that this foot was really empty, half of my center of gravity was on the foot that stepped out, and the whole person suddenly fell forward.

After I finished speaking, I don't know how deep it is underneath, if it is an abyss, no matter how much my body can heal itself, it will be useless to fall to death all of a sudden.

Just thinking about it, the collar at the back of the neck was grabbed all of a sudden, and the tendency of the body to fall suddenly stopped, and then it was lifted up.

As soon as I looked, it turned out that the Taoist priest caught me at a critical time, and when he saw that my face was ugly, he leaned up to the fault to take a look, and his brows immediately twisted: "Immeasurable, your grandmother is a Tianzun, what a fucking evil door, how did a good road suddenly become a cliff, could it be that the road in front of it was cut off?" ”

No one could answer his question, the most reliable and scientific road was blocked, and we could only walk along the fault, and when we finally saw a road leading ahead, what awaited us was to turn back again.

The Taoist priest saw the gold placed on the side of the road, strode forward, honestly and unceremoniously put it into his bag, and glanced at me: "See, the ghost uncle doesn't look down on you for this bit of broken money, so I will accept it unceremoniously." ”

At this time, I didn't bother to talk to him, discussed it, and didn't have a clue, but the sound of water flowing from the side of the cliff on the highway caught my attention, and I had a flash of inspiration in my mind, and thought of a way, and hurriedly said to Yang Mengqing: "Do you remember the gold rush in Fengweikou?" How many sand dredging boats are moored in the barrage? ”

Yang Mengqing said that he remembered and asked me what I wanted to do? I told them that since the sound of water could be heard under this cliff, it meant that the Fengqing River must flow through here, and since the road could not be walked, we might as well take the waterway, just in time to use the sand dredging boats in the Fengweikou Gold Rush Field.

After discussing it, several people thought that this matter was feasible, but the only problem was that we should go to Fengweikou, or go directly through the town; Either enter the tunnel from the entrance by the bridge, and then go through the tunnel to the place where the Shangli people hold human sacrifices, and then go up the river to Fengweikou.

The former is relatively close and time-saving, but it is more dangerous, and you may encounter monsters wandering around the town at any time. Although the latter is a bit of a detour, it is better to be safe, as long as you don't run into those crazy townspeople or Shangli people, there will be no danger.

In this case, the choice is obvious. Time was pressing, so we rushed back, and when we returned to the entrance of the town, the black gas had completely spread, and a layer of black clouds was shrouded over most of the basin, covering the thunder, and it seemed that we were not afraid of thunder punishment at all.

The black gas is still spreading to our side, the Taoist priest said that the thunderclouds gathered in the sky are natural thunder punishments, which have a suppressive effect on the evil spirits, the thunderclouds are here, and the evil spirits are still taboo, and when the black gas is completely covered and filled, then the Fengyang realm will completely become a hell controlled by the evil spirits, and then we will really have no chance at all.

Looking at the speed at which the black gas spreads, it will take another hour to cover the entire sky. We knew that time was running out, so we hurried to the top of the entrance of the tunnel, and just as we were about to go down, the Taoist priest suddenly shouted: "Be careful!" ”
