Chapter 32: Gejia Monastery
To be honest, I'm not sure what role Ying played in Liu Dongxi's disappearance, Liu Dongxi showed strong hostility towards Ying from the beginning, and it is difficult to say whether these two people will have any conflict if they leave us.
Because of this, in the face of Wang Dake's question, I didn't know how to answer, so I had to let E explain it myself.
"Xiaoyi, did you see any traces here before?"
"Didn't pay attention!" E, apparently knowing that everyone was suspicious of her, replied with emotion.
"If you think about it, you must not have it when you go, but what about when you come back?"
"Nope!" Suddenly, he erupted, "I'm thinking that you're all trapped there, how can I still have the heart to look around?" I know you doubt me, but you don't want to think about it, what kind of thing is Liu? Shall I kill him? β
This is said extremely rudely, even I can't help frowning, Wang Dake not to mention, he doesn't speak, he takes a step forward and has to do it.
I was shocked, Wang Dake is too different compared to E, if you really want to fight, you will definitely suffer, so I hurriedly spoke out to stop it, but Wang Dake swung his hips, and the whip leg was already pumped.
Ying sneered, shook her arm, and was about to step forward, I saw a sharp light flashing through her nails, and exclaimed, "Xiao Ying, stop!" β
Listening to my shout, Ying subconsciously stopped moving. Wang Dake was not disturbed, and slapped his whip leg Ying's face.
It is estimated that she herself didn't expect this leg to hit, and she seemed to be stunned when she dropped her leg.
Ying slowly turned his head, a semi-circular wound on his fair face, thrilling in the silver-white hair.
Wang Dake was definitely ruthless, and at first glance, it was knocked out of the heel of his boots.
I was just about to say something, but I suddenly smiled at me, suddenly pulled up six or seven meters high, kicked twice on the mountain wall, and climbed to the top of the mountain in a few vertical jumps, and disappeared!
Looking at the top of the mountain, I knew that it would be difficult to get her back this time.
Lu Yan sighed softly in my ear, "Let her go!" β
I didn't speak, it was absolutely impossible to find her, such a mountain, by the time we climbed it, she might have run dozens of miles.
Wang Dake was still in a daze, and when he saw me looking at her, he said sorry.
I also sighed and comforted: "Don't think too much, Liu Dongxi is a good person, and it will be fine." β
She saw that I didn't mention anything about it, so she had to agree.
"Let's go!" I said to everyone, "When she figures it out, she'll come back." β
That being said, I didn't have any bottom in my heart, and the expression on my face before I walked away was very strange, and this time was definitely different from the last time.
Carefully noting down the location, we continued on the road and found no clues for the rest of the way, all the way to our car.
Ei still hasn't learned to use the key, the back of the car is ajar and thrown there, the lock has been broken.
I looked at the broken door lock and remembered the first time I saw her, when she was like a little beast, but now she understands almost all human emotions.
The contents of the car are still there, and there are many corpses of green bees nearby, which are estimated to have frozen to death.
In addition, there is no trace of anyone coming, only a jade pendant rolling down next to the car door, which Wang Da can identify as a relic of his uncle, and may have accidentally left it here.
Liu Dongxi has never been here.
This jade pendant is not small, almost the size of half of my palm, Liu Dongxi has a pair of thief eyes, it is impossible for him not to see such a big jade pendant when it falls to the ground, and it is even more impossible not to be put into his pocket when he sees it.
He hadn't been here, so he had to go back.
The two knife marks found before, although they seem to be Liu Dongxi's usual methods, they can't be determined at all. It's not even clear whether those two marks are knife marks or not, and I don't take them as evidence.
When I saw the temple halfway up the mountain, I had a thought in my heart, maybe Liu didn't go to the car to get the rope as we imagined after coming out, and it was more likely that he took a shortcut to the temple. As for why he didn't come back, that's not something I can speculate.
I was eating the energy bar uneasily, Xiao Kan sat next to me, looked at me for a while, and suddenly said: "Actually, E's departure from us is not only because of anger, but she probably doesn't want you to be embarrassed." β
Actually, I didn't worry much about her, and with her skills, I wouldn't be in much danger anywhere. And Liu Dongxi is different, although he is unparalleled in the world, but I know that his ability can't even say that he blows three points, and at this moment, he doesn't know what his situation is.
Xiao Kan is already vaguely opposed to E, why is he talking like this at this time, I'm afraid I'm still afraid that I'm sad.
I clapped her hand, put the last bit of energy bar in my mouth and stood up, "Get in the car, let's go!" β
I told them my speculation, and everyone felt that what I said made sense, especially in terms of Liu Dongxi's temperament, wanting to take a step fast in this regard is indeed his style of acting.
What we just walked through was a branch of the Grand Canyon of Rancha, and if you want to drive to that mountain, you have to go around the bottom of the valley, Liu Dongxi is gone, naturally I am driving, and Wang Dake is standing on the seat of the car, holding a telescope to look around.
No one thought that Liu Dongxi would appear in the canyon, and no one would persuade him, Wang Dake's insistence moved us all a little, and this kind of emotion is difficult for those of us who are friends to understand.
The road was very difficult, so I tried to press the stones and stay away from the river, not because I was afraid that there would be a giant fish in the river, but because I was worried that the center of gravity of the car would be so shaky that we would roll into the river.
When the car was halfway away, Wang Dake behind suddenly exclaimed, "There are people on the opposite mountain!" β
I was startled, and subconsciously stepped on the brakes, and the car shook on the rocks and almost rolled over.
"Who?" I didn't have time to think about this, so I grabbed the binoculars and looked in the direction that Wang Dake was pointing.
The multiplier gradually increased and locked on the reference object pointed out by Wang Dake. There was an unreadable ruin, littered with rocks and adobe, and there was no trace of any living thing.
"Who?" I asked.
"Somebody ran behind that pillar!"
There is indeed a pillar in the field of vision, which should be made of stone, and the thickness cannot be seen from too far away.
I waited a little longer, but I didn't see any changes over there, so I threw down the binoculars and said, "You keep observing, let's go over right away!" β
The car continued to start, but I couldn't concentrate, whether that person existed or not, I didn't think it should be Liu Shi. The reason is very simple, if it is Liu Shi, he will either be trapped and unable to come out at this time, or he will come to look for us in this direction. Listening to Wang Dake's words, that man showed no signs of being restrained at all, let alone walking out and even hiding himself as if he was afraid of us. Of course, this person also has a great possibility to have something to do with Liu Dongxi, and with his ability, he can trap him without being a dead thing.
In front of the ruins is the temple we saw earlier, and from a distance it looks with an exotic solemnity. Generally speaking, you can tell if there is anyone in a house far away, and it is difficult to describe the specific feeling, but it can only be said that there is a kind of anger in the house where you live in it. But the temple is different, it was originally a place to worship the gods, just like the one in front of me, although there were no cigarettes, I really couldn't be sure if there were people inside.
We walked for three hours for the rest of the journey, and Wang Dake didn't find anything else. By the time the car reached the bottom of the mountain, it was already dark.
"Go up the mountain right away or wait until dawn?" I asked.
didn't answer, Wang Dake had already jumped out of the car, and Xiao Kan also opened the car door.
"Let's go, I can't wait." Lu Yan said.
I smiled and opened the door and got out of the car.
There is a road on the mountain, and you can see the traces of recent repairs, and we feel quite relaxed along the road uphill.
There are even signs along the way, which surprised me, I didn't expect that there would be such a thing in the temple in this deep mountain, it seems that tourism is indeed pervasive, if the cataclysm comes a few years later, I am afraid that those hells will become tourist projects.
After a few turns, a big sign appeared in front of me, with a knife-sharpening axe-like ** text on it, I didn't know any of it, but the Chinese characters below surprised me!
The Chinese characters depicted by the three reflective lacquers of "Gejia Temple" are particularly dazzling under the flashlight.
I looked at these three words and felt that maybe there really was a providence in the world, and we might really be standing at the end of the whole incident after some mistakes.
This sign is erected at the corner of the mountain road, and when you turn around, you will see the mountain gate of Gejia Temple. Looking at this mountain gate closely, it is not very spectacular, it is almost the appearance of the faΓ§ade of the state-owned shopping malls in small and medium-sized cities in the seventies and eighties, and the white walls lining the door openings are extraordinarily black.
I shone a flashlight on it, but I didn't see a door, so I raised my leg and walked that way.
Xiao Kan followed behind me and asked me with some hesitation, "Do you want to take off your shoes?" β
"When did you still pay so much attention to it?" I asked rhetorically.
Lu Yan took off his shoes and held them in his hands.
"Okay, take it off!" I crouched down and untied my shoelaces.
In my mind, it is very unwise to take off your shoes at this time, there may be something in this temple, and when the time comes, there will be no one waiting for you to put on your shoes first.
But Lu Yan did this, there must be a reason for him, and what gods and gods I encountered before made me have a deeper understanding of the authenticity of historical legends, and if I really angered something when I went in with my shoes, it was not a good thing.
The ground under your feet is very moist and not very cool, and it is very flat and dark. This is a kind of rammed earth craft unique to Tibetan areas, and the name is Daaga. In detail, it seems that a kind of soil called agatu is beaten repeatedly, and some stone soil is added to it, and then it is polished with pebbles, scrubbed with elm sap, and finally cleaned with oil. After completion, it is hard, non-slip and waterproof, and it is also very friendly to the human body, which is much stronger than the current building materials.
The walls are decorated with white, black, and red patterns, with unconventional shapes and complete axis symmetry, which seem to flow in the night, and even feel like you are going to sink into it after looking at it for a long time.
"Don't look!" Lu Yan slapped me in the back, and the hard hiking boots in his hand knocked me on the head.
