Chapter 48: Mobile Phones
The early morning grass was still soaked with dew, soaking the trouser legs of several people.
Since coming to this place, several people haven't slept well, and the only good meal they ate was prepared by Cheng Xin pretending to be a grandmother, and then someone from the expedition team disappeared.
Although the environment was harsh and life was hard, these people gritted their teeth and survived.
As Yan Luo walked, he realized that something was wrong.
The surrounding scene, the height of the mountain, and the environment from the mountain are very similar to Shouling Mountain.
But they had been walking for several days, and had even crossed a canyon, so how could they return to Shouling Mountain.
Isn't it because they have unconsciously turned back, but that the mountain will move.
Thinking that wherever they went, there was a big mountain behind them, Yan Luo felt creepy.
"Here we are." The village is not far from the summit of the mountain, and after about an hour's walk, you will reach the top.
Yan Luo was dumbfounded when he saw the temple standing on the top of the mountain.
Isn't that the temple on the top of Shouling Mountain?
Several people looked at each other, and none of them wanted to go to the temple.
Either it's this mountain evil gate, or it's this temple evil gate.
Otherwise, why have they been gone for so long, and they are still haunted.
Yu Mo suddenly took out a photo, his face was very ugly. The photo was taken by Heo Dongang next to his backpack after he descended to Hell Valley.
Yu Mo pointed to the photo: "I finally know why we are crawling back." ”
"Perhaps, going back is the right way for us to go back."
In the photo, several people are climbing on the stone wall, and they are climbing on the side where they came down, and everyone has a weird smile on their faces.
"No, I don't think so. There are some terrains that make it easy to turn back. When we don't have a compass, what we thought was going straight may deviate from the original route when we go around a certain tree or a certain swamp. So, the terrain around this mountain must be very complicated, so we have to go back to this mountain every time. Yan Luo overturned some of his previous unbelievable speculations and came to a scientific conclusion.
"You mean, what we always thought was going straight is actually going in circles." Yu Mo nodded, agreeing with Yan Luo's words.
"As for why this mountain has such a magical topography, it may be a miracle of nature, or it is possible that the arrangement of these trees has been artificially planted by some high-level people - but the latter is a great project." Yan Luo didn't think about what might be impossible, after all, such a large laboratory had been built in this place, and the entire interior of Shouling Mountain had been hollowed out, what else was impossible.
Yan Luo's explanation was reasonable, and everyone felt a lot more at ease.
Still, no one wanted to enter the temple.
When I think of the Buddha statues in the temple with the same face as them, I feel terrible.
Yan Luo did not take the lead to go in, but went around to the back of the temple.
In Jiang Shen's story, Xu Ruyi buried the two most important people in his life behind the temple.
After Yan Luo went around to the back of the temple, after a while, he found two tombs.
The grave has been covered by weeds, and it is actually difficult to find.
But there were two special trees planted next to it.
So Yan Luo saw it at once.
The two big trees were very thick, and the trunks seemed to be intertwined by countless small trunks, Yan Luo didn't know what kind of variety they were, but they must be very rare.
A few words were carved on the trunk of the tree, and a special treatment must have been used at that time, and those words have not disappeared until now:
The benefactor did not forget the tomb of the abbot.
The tomb of the benefactor's little sister.
It seems that Xu Ruyi doesn't know what to call that little girl, so he simply recognizes her as a little junior sister.
He, the little sister, and the abbot are like a family living in the temple.
Even if the temple incense was prosperous later, maybe there were only a few people in Xu Ruyi's heart.
Xu Ruyi led them, did he let them enter this temple?
For some reason, this thought rose in Yan Luo's heart.
After all, this temple is Xu Ruyi's home, and he asked them to come here, is there anything they need to help complete?
Although it felt a bit nonsense to meet a person from a thousand years ago, Yan Luo had no better way to explain why they met Xu Ruyi.
Yan Luo interrupted the two tombs, and then walked through the back door into the temple.
After a thousand years of baptism, there is nothing left in the temple to restore the scene at that time.
Walking to the front yard, several people saw the ancient clock.
I don't know why, even now, they don't dare to approach the ancient clock when they see it.
"Who rang the bell today? Zhang Feng? Jiang Yan rubbed his temples and had a headache: "But hasn't he already seen Cheng Ru's corpse, knowing that Cheng Ru will definitely not come back, why do he want to ring the bell?" ”
"Could it be, Cheng Ru, who is asleep in this mountain, knocks it......" Yu Mo had a bold idea.
"Shut up!" Jiang Yan's roar can be said to be unceremoniously: "How can a dead person ring the bell, and it is not a corpse ......?"
Speaking of this, Jiang Yan didn't dare to say any more, shivered, looked around, and honestly shut up.
But don't cheat the corpse.
"Huh." Yan Luo was closest to the ancient bell, and was the first to notice that something was wrong with the ancient bell: "Look, there is a mobile phone above the ancient clock. ”
Before they left, there were no cell phones on the ancient clock.
So after they left, there were other people who came here.
This is the second time Yan Luo has seen the ownerless mobile phone.
The last cell phone was pulled in from outside the cave when she was trapped in that windowless airtight room.
This time, the mobile phone is placed on the ancient clock.
Could it be that someone rang the bell to ask them to come and get their mobile phones?
What's in this phone?
Yan Luo turned on the phone, this phone still does not have a lock screen password, after opening, there is basically no extra software.
Yan Luo opened the photo album on his phone for the first time.
Also a lot of photos.
This time, there are more than eight hundred.
It's all about the surrounding scenes.
These sights, which they are more familiar with, are the way they came.
However, the first of these photos starts at the foot of the mountain, and the subsequent photos follow the foot of the mountain until they are out of this no-man's land. It's the opposite of the direction they came.
"Could it be that this is the way we are out?" Yan Luo was overjoyed, and quit the album to see if there were any other clues.
But apart from these photos, the phone is empty.
