Chapter 1: The bell rings on time in the deserted temple
"Knock...... Boom...... Knock ......"
In the early morning, three bells rang from the mountain, Yan Luo woke up from his dream, it has been three days, and this voice rang on time at six o'clock every day.
But she and several other members of the expedition had been to the top of the mountain before, and the temple standing on the top of the mountain had been abandoned for a long time, covered with cobwebs and fallen leaves, and there was no trace of human habitation.
The ancient bell hanging in the deserted temple was so heavy that it took a lot of effort on the part of an adult man to ring it.
"This place is really evil." Yan Luo heard a magnetic man's voice outside the tent, his name was Jiang Yan, he was a timid and fearful person, with a poisonous mouth, and he was not pleasant.
"Maybe it's the wind blowing." Yan Luo heard that in another tent, Yu Mo said sullenly.
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
It seems that I can only comfort myself with this reason, and it is impossible to say that it was a ghost ringing, right?
Yan Luo sat up from the tent, picked up the coat next to him and put it on his body, and heard Jiang Yan start scolding: "You still say Yu Mo, don't blame you, it's still a tour guide who collects money first and then leads the way, bringing us to this place, and we can't get out." ”
She sighed, opened her adventure bag, pulled out a bottle of mouthwash, got out of the tent, and rinsed her mouth on the side.
Yu Mo came out of the tent next door, she was a short-haired girl, her facial features were small and delicate, very good-looking, she shouted in a sharp voice, "Who do you blame?" If you hadn't said that you saw a beautiful woman and followed her like a lost soul, we wouldn't have come to this place in order to find you. I don't want to think about it, where are the beauties in the wilderness, maybe what it is! ”
Yan Luo was halfway gargling, choked, and all the mouthwash in his mouth squirted out, coughing dryly on the side.
Jiang Yan, who was squatting outside the tent, heard that he didn't scold back again, shivered, and hung his head without saying a word.
Yan Luo stopped coughing, covered the mouthwash, got into the tent, took out the bag, and threw the mouthwash inside.
When she thought of the experience of the past few days, she felt extremely barren inside.
She had amnesia a year ago, and when she woke up, there was a note beside her that read: Follow Xu Dongang. It was her own handwriting, and she followed.
Originally, she thought it was just an ordinary wilderness adventure, but when she came here, she found that it was not the same thing at all, it was playing with her life.
In addition to her and Xu Dongang, who was following her, there were two other members of this improvised expedition team, namely Yu Mo and Jiang Yan, who had been arguing just now.
As far as she knew, Xu Dongang was seriously ill and did not live long, and he came here to find something that could save his life.
Jiang Yan's mouth was very broken, but he rarely revealed his own identity, and Yan Luo could only judge from the expensive watches he was carrying and his generous spending that his family should be very good.
Yu Mo was the proprietress of an inn, and the town they lived in was not far from where they were going, although the people in the village said that the place was dangerous, but Yu Mo saw that Jiang Yan was willing to give her a large sum of money, so she agreed.
Five days ago, Yan Luo and the other members of the expedition finally climbed to the top of the mountain at their destination and found a deserted temple recorded in a certain wild history, which is said to have been a place where a high monk preached and taught a thousand years ago, and then the monk became a Buddha, and his disciples followed him and became his children, and this temple began to be abandoned.
They spent the night inside. At six o'clock the next morning, he was woken up by the sound of the bell in the deserted temple, but none of the four admitted that he had struck the bell. Although he suspected that it was a prank by a certain person, he was still a little timid in his heart and hurried down the mountain.
When going down the mountain, Jiang Yanfei said that he saw a beautiful woman, and he felt strange in the barren mountains and mountains, and chased after him, but he didn't catch up, but he got lost. When the others found him, they also lost their way back.
It took two days for the group to finally descend the mountain, only to be stranded at the foot of the mountain, and no matter which direction they went, they would eventually return to the foot of the mountain.
"Everyone checks whether there is a signal on their mobile phones and whether the compass is back to normal." Yan Luo took out his mobile phone and compass from his expedition bag, trying to make himself look calm, in this kind of place, once he collapsed, he would never be able to stand up.
There was still no signal on the mobile phone, because of the magnetic field, the compass was also constantly moving, and Yan Luo was a little disappointed and took them back.
Several other people also took it out, and then they all shook their heads: "None." ”
"Let's go further and see if we can get out this time." Yan Luo slung the expedition bag on his shoulders and looked down at the two people sitting on the ground, trying to persuade them to go with him.
There were a few coughs from Xu Dongang's tent, Yan Luo's heart tightened, and he blamed himself a little: they had been gone for three days and had not gone out, if it was still a useless attempt this time, would it be too cruel to Xu Dongang, he was already a critically ill person, and his face had become more and more pale in the past few days.
"It's fine." As soon as Yan Luo was about to ask about his physical condition, Xu Dongang had already spoken, he got out of the tent, and he was carrying a huge bag behind him: "My things have been packed, staying here is waiting for death." ”
So Yan Luo began to put away the tent and walk in the opposite direction to the mountain.
Ahead is a jungle, full of branches and leaves, all of which are ancient trees that have grown for hundreds of years and thousands of years, and the grass is overgrown under the feet, and there is no road to pass.
"It seems that this place has really been forgotten, otherwise you can step on a path with your feet." Jiang Yan sighed, no one means that there is little hope for them to be rescued.
"Look." Yan Luo narrowed his eyes, stopped, and pointed ahead, his face was a little ugly: "We are back at the foot of that mountain again." ”
As soon as they stepped out of the woods, they saw the remnants of the campfire they had left on the ground.
The place Yan Luo pointed to was the open space where they had set up camp one night a few days ago.
Jiang Yan sat on the ground, threw the bag, and panted: "Lao Tzu is not leaving, go to a fart, and he will not leave if he dies here!" ”
"Leave him alone, we'll go by ourselves." Yan Luo said coldly, now the situation of the four of them, it can be said that they have all pinned their heads to the waistband of their trousers, their dry food is one day less, and it is conservatively estimated that it can last for half a month, if they can't get out in half a month, they can only wait to die.
Jiang Yan wastes not time, but life.
Yan Luo changed direction and walked along the east side of the mountain. Yu Mo and Xu Dongang did not hesitate to keep up with her.
Everyone wants to live, and no one wants to die in vain.
Jiang Yan touched his nose, stood up silently, and muttered: "I'm crazy to ask that Yu Mo to be a tour guide!" Immediately, he followed.
After a day's journey to the east, I walked through two rivers, two woods, two hills, and at dusk we reached the foot of a large mountain.
Yan Luo put down his backpack and decided to rest here, this is an open high ground, relatively safe.
She noticed that Yu Mo, who was standing beside her, looked at the mountain in front of her with an uneasy expression: "Why do we see terrain in even numbers, we won't ...... Let's go back to the foot of the mountain. ”
