Chapter 368: The Last Chance
Hao Jian looked at my sneering expression, his face suddenly became greener, I quickly straightened my face and no longer showed my mood, pretending to wave my hand in a deep voice: "Forget it, this is not important anyway, one by one, I only ask you one thing, it may succeed or fail when doing it, are you willing to accompany me to take this risk?" ”
Ding's face was obviously a little unnatural when he heard me call her "Yiyi", and he was silent for a while before he asked tentatively, "If you fail...... Am I going to die? ”
"No, it's just that we'll probably never get out." I shook my head and replied truthfully, I need Ding Yi's full cooperation in the next rituals, and lying at this time is not beneficial to both parties.
Ding Yi was silent for a long time, and it took about ten minutes before he laughed: "I was still hesitating just now, but in fact, if I think about it carefully, there seems to be nothing to hesitate." ”
"What do you mean?"
I blinked, I didn't react for a while, Ding Yi shrugged his shoulders and said: "It's possible to go out if you try, but if you don't try, there is no possibility at all, you can't figure out such a simple thing?" ”
"Uh......" I was speechless for a while, it seems that this girl is not only sharp in her teeth, but also fast in her brain!
Hao Jian smiled beside him, as if he was very happy to see me eating deflated, I rolled my eyes and ignored him, turned my head to look at Ding Yi and said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, you should go and rest first, I'm afraid it will be very busy tonight." ”
"Is there anything I need to do in advance?" Ding Yi asked tentatively.
I smiled: "There's nothing to prepare, if it's possible...... Go take a shower, otherwise how will you see the path when you go out like this? ”
Ding Yi looked at the dirty appearance on his body, rolled his eyes and turned to leave, Hao Jian leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Why are you in such a hurry?" I don't know if she's reliable! ”
"You think I want to? It's that we don't have time! I rubbed my face vigorously and sighed, looking at the sun outside the window that was gradually setting in the west, and I couldn't help but feel a little more anxious.
Grandpa said to let me go to him in three days, I think he meant that we only have three days, and we can't get out of here within three days, our brains will be messed up by this illusion, and the biggest possibility is that we will be trapped here for the rest of our lives, and even if we get out, we will probably become idiots.
Today is the third day since we entered the illusion, in other words, if we don't find a way to escape tonight, we may never be able to escape, so I'm not very worried about "becoming idiots", because by then we basically have no chance to escape.
Telling Hao Jianyi about these things, his expression became solemn, and he took out a cigarette out of nowhere and put it in his mouth, and asked in a vague whisper, "Do you need me to prepare anything?" When we came in, the car was left outside, and the things we prepared were basically gone. ”
I took the cigarette from his mouth and lit it myself, took a puff and pressed my eyebrows and replied: "I remember that there used to be a few paper shops in Wicker Alley, you go to find out if there is anything that can be used, and the list is still the one I listed for you before." ”
Hao Jian agreed and was about to go out, I called him and continued: "Ask Brother Zhao to go with you, they have been wandering around here for several days, they are more familiar with the terrain, and they need a lot of things, and multiple people can also relax." "Search for e-books
"Got it." Hao Jian nodded and turned to leave, I have never seen his serious expression, I was stunned for a moment and then smiled bitterly, it seems that pressure can really make people grow.
Seeing Hao Jian walking away, I leaned on the wheelchair and watched the cigarette in my hand rise and curl smoke, grandpa used to say that looking at these smoke can calm his mind, but the more I look at it now, the more irritable I feel, so I simply bounced the cigarette butt to the corner, closed my eyes and fell asleep in the wheelchair.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already dark, Hao Jian hadn't come back yet, I raised my wrist and looked at my watch, it was about seven o'clock in the evening, I wanted to use yin qi to stimulate yin and yang to take us out at noon, but when I persuaded Ding Yi, I had already missed the hour, so I could only wait until three o'clock tonight.
There are clouds in the Book of Changes: the avenue is fifty, the sky is forty-nine, and people are one of them.
The ugly three quarters is the heaviest time of the day, but all things in the world are born and restrain each other, nothing is absolute, when the yang energy is the heaviest at noon, a wisp of yin will be derived between heaven and earth, and a wisp of yang will also be derived between heaven and earth when the yin energy is the heaviest, which is a ray of vitality left by heaven for all things in the world, and it is also our only chance now.
I don't know if that wisp of yang energy will successfully open the escape channel, but I have no other way now, and "do my best, obey the destiny of heaven" is my only choice at present.
I closed my eyes and recited the Pure Heart Mantra a few times to empty the distracting thoughts, I sat in my wheelchair and began to enter a state of meditation, the previous summoning of the Five Directions Thunder God Mantra consumed too much, and it was not only the consumption of physical strength, so I had to recover as soon as possible, otherwise it would only make the hope of escape even more slim.
Three hours passed in a blink of an eye, I slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity and opened my eyes, but I was surprised to find that Hao Jian had not come back yet, seeing that the time was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, and after subtracting the time for arranging the altar and the formation of the sect members, there was only half an hour left.
Thinking of this, I looked out the window again, there was still no figure of Hao Jian on the empty street, I hesitated for a moment and got up and walked out.
When I came to the street, it was obviously the early autumn season, and the evening breeze was really cool on my body, so I shivered and tightened my clothes, and walked towards the paper shops in Wicker Lane with vague memory.
I only came to my grandfather once when I was very young, so I went wrong several times to find the right place, three paper shops are connected together, I heard the noise inside before I got closer, and I saw that Hao Jianzheng was directing everyone to move things, and the outside of the store was full of paper people, paper horses, paper houses, etc., which looked a little tattered and obviously stored for a long time, and the workers inside were still moving out.
Looking at the volume of this pile of paper work, they cleaned up for two or three hours, I can't help but be a little surprised, you must know that Wicker Lane is already a demolition area, and the merchants here have moved out one after another half a year ago, and the things in the store should be almost taken, even if this store has always been highly productive, it will not save so many things, right?
Puzzled, I went directly into the store and found Hao Jian: "Where did these things come from?" ”
Hao Jian pouted at the opposite side, I looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a low secret door on the wall, Brother Zhao was standing inside and handing things out, there should be other people in the deeper places, but I couldn't see it from my angle.
After only half a second of hesitation, I gave up my plan to go to the basement to find out, looked directly at Hao Jian and asked, "If you don't go to find what you need, what are you doing with these paper men and paper horses here?" ”
"You think I want to?" Hao Jian rolled his eyes: "Do you see the two stores on the left and right?" Their underground warehouses are all connected! ”
