67. An endless fork in the road
After speaking, Mo Dao took a branch from Wang Hanbing and was about to pick open the lid of the stone box, but he didn't expect the branch to snap off, but the lid of the stone box did not move at all.
Mo Dao frowned, and said to everyone: "It seems that this box is not made of ordinary stones, this branch can't bear it, if any of you have something like cloth, I'll try it again." ”
Everyone's eyes fell on Zhu Guli's body, Zhu Guli saw that everyone was looking at him, and scratched his head a little embarrassed: "What do you all think I do?" Do I have flowers on me? ”
Wang Guangwen smiled: "You don't have flowers on you, but you have a mask on you." Zhu Guli suddenly realized, it turned out to be the case, he took out a mask from his body and handed it to Mo Dao.
Mo Dao put on a mask and prepared to open the stone box, everyone held their breath, the air suddenly became unusually quiet, and as Mo Dao opened the lid on the stone box, everyone's eyes widened and looked inside the stone box.
The torch poked into the stone box, and after Xia Baobao saw the things inside, he couldn't help but lean in, and even Yan Xing and Qiao Si couldn't help but want to scold their mother when they saw the things inside.
Mo Dao looked inside the stone box, and silently closed the lid again: "Forget it, there's nothing to see, let's go." "Okay, let's go, waste expression." Zhu Guli said with a disappointed face.
Then, they walked to another stone gate, out of the stone gate, it was a long road, I don't know why there are so many roads here, but it is useless to think more, everyone can only walk along this road to the front.
"I thought there would be some corpse or something in that stone box, but who knew that it was actually the same as the sewer, it was directly a big hole." Xia Baobao complained to Qiao Si.
Qiao Si was also disappointed: "Yes, I was nervous for a long time, but there was no fart in it, so I wondered why I had to build a house for the sewer." Zhu Guli shook his head and sighed: "It is estimated that the person who repaired this place is a fool." ”
Everyone followed Mo Dao forward for a while, and suddenly a three-way intersection appeared in front of them, "Why is there another three-way intersection here, which way to go now?" Xia Baobao said with a depressed face.
He doesn't understand why life has to make choices, in his opinion, only children will make choices, but he can't choose all of the multiple choice questions in front of him, the reality is that even adults have to make choices.
Mo Dao still chose a direction without hesitation, and then walked over directly, Xia Baobao was already accustomed to the speed at which Mo Dao did multiple-choice questions, he shrugged his shoulders and followed.
The group walked not far and encountered a three-way intersection, Xia Baobao saw the three-way intersection, and was so angry that he was about to scold his mother, but Mo Dao couldn't help frowning, because others couldn't see it, but she could see that this three-way intersection was actually the same as the three-way intersection just now!
Xia Baobao couldn't help but wonder when he saw that Mo Dao hadn't moved for a long time this time, and he couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you leave?" I've never seen you so entangled before? Mo Dao ignored Xia Baobao's words and ignored him.
After a long while, Mo Dao spoke: "I don't know why, but this three-way intersection is the same as the three-way intersection just now." As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
Qiao Si touched his big bald head and asked puzzledly, "How do you know that this three-way intersection is the same as just now?" There's no sign either. "You can't understand the specific reason I said, anyway, this intersection must be the one before." Mo Dao didn't explain anything, just said firmly.
Since Mo Dao has said everything to this point, there is no reason for everyone not to believe her, "Then why don't we choose another way to try?" Yan Xing suggested, "It's the only way to do it first." Mo Dao said solemnly.
This time, everyone chose another road, along the way, everyone paid attention to the surrounding scene, Yan Xing even left a mark on the surrounding wall, and after walking for a while, they saw a three-way intersection again.
Xia Baobao was speechless at this time, looking at the three-way intersection in front of him, he sighed helplessly: "We won't come back again, right?" Mo Dao nodded: "That's right, we did walk back again." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was frightened, could it be that they encountered a ghost hitting the wall? "Then let's try another way." Yan Xing said in a cold sweat on his forehead, but this last road, if something goes wrong, it is estimated that he will collapse.
"That's all it can be now." After Mo Dao finished speaking, he walked towards the last fork in the road
Xia Baobao and the others also followed Mo Dao into this fork in the road, and at this time everyone's spirit was highly nervous, after all, the experience of returning to the original fork in the road twice before made everyone feel uneasy, and this time I don't know if it will be the same as before.
Along the way, everyone made their own marks on the wall, "Lao Xia, I was suddenly thinking about a question, you said that three people walked three roads at the same time, will they return to the previous place in the end?" Qiao Si said to Xia Baobao.
"Don't ask me about this, I'm ignorant of everything now, but if we can't get out again, we can only try a way." Xia Baobao said to Qiao Si, Qiao Si didn't say anything more, just continued to walk forward.
I didn't say anything all the way, and I don't know how long I walked, but the familiar three-way intersection appeared in front of everyone again, Xia Baobao simply sat on the ground all of a sudden, and couldn't get up.
"What the hell is this place, I'm not leaving, you guys can go." Xia Baobao said with a depressed face, Yan Xing patted him on the shoulder: "It's not like this, there must be a way to crack it, hurry up." ”
But no matter what Yan Xing said, Xia Baobao just lay on the ground and refused to get up, Yan Xing spread his hands helplessly, and then Qiao Si suddenly said: "Otherwise, let's divide into three batches, and then enter from the three forks in the road to see what happens." ”
Mo Dao thought about it, but still shook his head: "This idea doesn't work. "Why not? I thought I could give it a try. Yan Xing frowned and said, after all, he felt that this method could prove whether the three forks in the road were not the same.
Because if there are three forks in the road, then the three groups of people will definitely meet, but if the three times they take the same fork in the road, then someone will definitely go out.
Mo Dao turned his head to look at Yan Xing: "What if someone walks out and encounters danger?" As soon as this sentence came out, everyone was silent, after all, if he really encountered danger alone, Mo Dao would be easy to say, like Jiang Han, two little girls, there would definitely be no way to deal with it.
"If you can get out, then go back and tell the others." Xia Baobao thought for a while and said, "Are you sure it's so weird here, can you come back if you go out?" Mo Dao stared at Xia Baobao and said.
Xia Baobao was speechless for a while, and then stopped talking, Zhu Guli said a little anxiously: "Then this is not good, that is not good, what should we do, we can't wait for death here." ”
Zhu Guli's words said what everyone wanted, yes, no matter what, you have to come up with a way, instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to try various methods, in case you can get out.
There should always be a hope, "Well, you let me think again, and if I can't think of a suitable way, then I have to do it." Mo Dao said to everyone.
Everyone nodded in agreement, and suddenly, Jiang Han had an idea: "Why don't we try to go back?" See where you can go? Mo Dao glanced at Jiang Han and thought for a while.
"Just do what Jiang Han said, after all, as long as we go together, I can still help you if there is any danger." Mo Dao said slowly, and after speaking, he took the lead again and walked towards the way back.
After entering the way back, he didn't go far, Xia Baobao suddenly exclaimed: "Look, the wall next to this is the mark I made before!" Following Xia Baobao's gaze, it was indeed a triangular mark made by Xia Baobao on the wall.
Everyone suddenly felt that things were not so simple, if they found the mark made by Xia Baobao here, it meant that one of the three forks they had taken before was on the way back, but this road was finally back to the three-way intersection.
"What now?" Xia Baobao asked Mo Dao like a ghost, at this moment, he Xia Baobao felt that it was too evil, obviously going in the direction of return, how could it become a fork in the road.
"Then let's go like this for now, and if we reach a fork in the road, we will think of another way." Mo Dao still said expressionlessly, so far, it can only be like this, everyone is walking forward with a lost face.
Sure enough, in the end, everyone returned to that fork in the road, Xia Baobao was used to this feeling of disappointment to despair, he simply broke the jar and broke it, it didn't matter.
"Then according to what Qiao Si said, the soldiers are divided into three ways." Yan Xing proposed, "No, it may not be useful to divide the soldiers into three roads now, so simply divide them into four roads, three roads to the fork in the road, and all the way to the back side." Mo Dao said calmly.
"Okay, then do as you say." Zhu Guli nodded, Mo Dao's strength was the strongest, so she and Jiang Han walked together, Yan Xing walked all the way with Qiao Si and the Wang brothers, Zhu Guli Xia Baobao walked all the way, and Wang Hanbing walked back.
After the four people left, I don't know how long it took, Xia Baobao and Zhu Guli took the lead in returning to the three-way intersection, Xia Baobao sighed helplessly: "I'm convinced, isn't this ghost place impossible to get out at all!" ”
Although Zhu Guli is usually very aggressive, but when he encounters this strange situation, he still mutters in his heart, he patted Xia Baobao's back and said, "Don't think about it, now you can only see how the others are." ”
Xia Baobao nodded: "Yes, we can't go out, we can only see if any of them can get out, but where are they now?" While speaking, Mo Dao and Jiang Han also walked out of the fork in the road, compared to Xia Baobao, these three people seemed much calmer.
"You're back too?" Zhu Guli stepped forward and asked, Mo Dao nodded: "That's right, I don't think it's a way to try like this, I have to think of a different way." "But what else can we do now?" Xia Baobao said helplessly.
Soon, the remaining two groups of people also came back, and no one could get out of here, and the scene suddenly fell into a stalemate, Yan Xing sighed, and said: "Now I can only try the last way, if this is really a ghost hitting the wall, I can only try the method of cracking it recorded in the book." ”
"What method? Why didn't you say it earlier? Qiao Si looked at Yan Xing and said, "Because this is what I saw in the book, I don't know if it's true or not." Yan Xing's voice was a little lacking in confidence.
"A dead horse should be a live horse doctor, try it." Jiang Han said to her, there is no other way at the moment, no matter whether Yan Xing's method is reliable or not, he has to try it, Yan Xing saw that everyone agreed, so he said slowly.
"First of all, this method requires everyone to form a circle, and then, I will draw a talisman on everyone's body, and at this time, I can see whether the three yang flames on each of you are still lit." Yan Xing said solemnly.
"What does Yang Huo mean?" Xia Baobao asked puzzled, he had only heard of Yang Huo in the novel, but he didn't know what Yang Huo was for, "There are three Yang Huo on both shoulders and on the head, if there are fewer Yang Huo left, then the higher the probability of seeing ghosts." Yan Xing explained.
