Chapter 15: Interlude on the way
"Lin Jia? Lin Jia? Professor Sun said irritably: "Why can't you wake up?" I've slept for so long, too. ”
"Just let him sleep a little longer, it's not dawn yet, anyway." , Xu Xinyi checked her bags to see if there was anything missing.
The moon is still in the sky, and it's nine o'clock in the morning. The moonlight is like water, quietly sprinkled on the earth, draping the earth in a silver-gray gauze skirt. She was dressed in plain white clothes, demure and serene, gentle and generous, bleak and terrifying.
Professor Sun looked at the table below and wondered, "It's nine o'clock, why isn't it dawn?" ”
Wu Tiansheng felt that something was wrong, he quietly took out the compass from his pocket, held the outer compass with both hands left and right, his feet slightly apart, and placed the compass between his chest and abdomen to keep the compass horizontal. Then sit on his back and face him, and begin to stand upright. At this time, the cross fish thread on the compass should coincide with the four positive positions of the house: front, back, left, and right. After fixing the position of the cross fishwire, Wu Tiansheng used the thumbs of both hands to move the inner disk, and when the inner disk rotated, Tianchi also rotated. Keep rotating the inner disc until the magnetic needle comes to rest and overlaps with the red line in the Tianchi before it ends.
"Found it!"
Wu Tiansheng put away the compass, walked up to Professor Sun and said, "We are about to reach the last place in the painting, but our trouble is how to leave from here, that is, the third place in the painting. I probably already know what the second half of the text on the painting means. After your explanation, the second half of the text: If you enter the step, you will lose one, and you will live forever when you leave the line, and the dragon will ask the top person, and the Kyushu thing is that as long as we go forward through a place, a person will die, and only by returning can we live! And you just thought of the tomb of King Li, and then took a sacred object. Won't you and your daughter leave with nothing to lose? And then say that you encountered an accident on the way, and you didn't know it, and you crossed the sea without knowing it, and that's it, you won! If I'm not mistaken, Lin Jiahe is already dead. ”
After hearing this, the bamboo pole quickly took out a gun from his backpack and pointed it at Professor Sun, so frightened that he didn't dare to speak.
Professor Sun said casually: "I don't understand what you say, but you must know one thing, I didn't want to hurt you at all. ”
Xu Xinyi took advantage of their conversation to check on Lin Jia, and found that he had lost his breath and his pulse was no longer beating. 'Scared! She hurriedly crawled back, covering her mouth and crying, "Impossible, this can't be." ”
Professor Sun asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Lin Jiahe... He... He's dead. ”
Professor Sun walked over and looked, knelt on the ground, looked up to the sky and cried, "Xiao Jia! Ah~, how are they all... That's it! Creation makes people! The two students that my Sun Ming'er finally taught, God! You've taken them all away! ”
The bamboo pole teased: "This old guy is still acting!" ”
Wu Tiansheng packed his bags and asked the bamboo pole to prepare to return the same way: "Professor Sun, the tomb is on the peak on the right side of the mountain in front of us, you don't have to worry about how I know, as far as your ability is concerned, you know it!" I have already shown you the way, if you want to go, you will take your good daughter with you, but I am afraid that your daughter will not be able to get out of this valley alive, and you will die on that mountain in the end. ”
Wu Tiansheng walked back for dozens of meters and slowly stopped. He found that the terrain was completely different from when he first arrived, and even the plugged hole was gone.
He looked around carefully, his face embarrassed: "Huh? Bamboo poles, we came from here when we came, right? ”
Bamboo pole thought about it for a moment and nodded, but he wasn't quite sure. Because when I came, the trees here were all dead, only the trunks were smooth, and the entrance to the cave was also collapsed.
"It's weird, it's obviously here." , Wu Tiansheng looked for the mark he had made next to the side. The mark is wrapped with a strip of red cloth around a tree branch. After searching for a long time, Wu Tiansheng found this red cloth strip on a leafy tree.
"It's incredible! I'm tied to dead wood, but how can I? It hasn't changed, it can't be artificial! Wu Tiansheng had no thoughts in his head, and his whole head was about to fry.
The bamboo pole was a little discouraged, he sighed and put the gun back: "Let's go back, the trees around here are more densely crowded than before, I am afraid that when we walk, there will be no way." Just follow the route drawn in the painting, leave life and death to God, and take one step at a time. ”。
Wu Tiansheng closed his eyes and made a choice: "This time, I hurt you, I will definitely take you out." ”
The bamboo pole smiled bitterly and looked up to the sky with a little tears: "Heh, who of us is with whom, we are brothers who were born and died, are we still afraid that he will not be a king of mourning?" We'll go back now and take his grave!" ”
