182. Discover heresy
Lost? Undoubtedly. I didn't expect that Gu Xi would really put his coercion into action and leave me here alone. I knew that without him, it would be difficult to get out of this cave again, but I had no position to stop him.
It's good to think about it, it's sure that this place can't trap him, and he can still take Qin Zhou out with him. If "no shore back" is true, then there is no need to drag him into the water. After thinking about it like this, I won't feel that he is ruthless anymore, and my heart is a lot more comfortable. After collecting my mood, I didn't hesitate to turn around and go back.
Fortunately, Gu Xi left me a flashlight, so that I could identify the path when there was light, and I also had the opportunity to distinguish the different air layers that Gu Xi said through my eyes. With the cue in hand, I shoot the beam of light from all angles, and my eyes try to stare at it, and gradually it seems that I can really see the layers. For example, in front of my eyes, it is obvious that the upper layer of air flow particles is thicker, and the lower layer is thinner, and there is a clear sense of boundary in the middle. I suspected that it was due to the angle of the light, so I squatted down and looked carefully, and found that although there was a slight change, the upper and lower levels were still distinct.
After getting up, I tried to lift my feet, but I really stepped on them in mid-air and felt like I was stepping on them. It's just that my feet seem to be soft, like stepping on a ball of cotton wool, and I gritted my teeth to press the weight of my whole body, and the person also took a step.
Something surprising happened, when I took that step, the touch that had been like cotton wool instantly turned hard, and when I looked down, I found that my feet were on the dark cave floor, not half different from before.
When I turned around and shone it with the lamp, the airflow compartment I had just seen was gone.
It will make people suspect that they are hallucinating, but when they continue to move forward to a certain place and appear again, they break the idea of hallucination. This time I chose to go down the next floor, but before I could take a step, I picked up a stone and drew a circle on the wall to mark it.
When I took a step and looked back again, I saw that the markings on the wall were gone, and the phantom layer was gone.
I thought of this time and finally understood the true meaning of the words "no shore to turn back", and I didn't dare to say whether this kind of phantom layer would appear if I had followed Gu Xi all the way forward, but every time I ran into a rift when I turned around, no matter what choice I made, it was no longer the original way to turn back.
So even if I regret it at this point, it is impossible to find both of them again.
If you can't turn back, you just need to move forward. I wanted to lose the sharp stone in my hand, but after thinking about it, I still held it in my hand, and carved a circle on the wall every time I went to the fork of the phantom layer, but I never entered the same space when I experienced it for the thirty-second time.
It can be seen that Gu Xi was really not alarmist at the beginning, it seems that there are only 64 holes, but the level changes in this are difficult to calculate. So when I stepped into another phantom layer and saw a dark shadow, I was really taken aback.
At that moment, I subconsciously used my hand to stroke the bracelet on my wrist, I forgot to return it to him after Gu Xi used it to cut the wick for me, the bracelet was relatively loose, and it would fall off with it, so I always hooked it with my fingers.
He is already very proficient in manipulating it, and he is sure that if the opponent wants to attack, he can take precautions at the first time.
But when I used the flashlight to see who it was, I couldn't help but be shocked. I never thought that the black shadow would be the owner! He leaned against the wall, his eyes motionless, and when I approached, he didn't move. He was obviously knocked unconscious by Ade and brought into the cave before, why was he alone at this time? Did Cen Xi leave him behind?
I guess it's been more than two hours since I found them gone, and no one knows what will happen in the meantime. I have taken a closer look, and his chest is undulating, which proves that he is alive, and there are no injuries on the surface of his body, but I don't know if there are injuries to the back of his head and shoulders attached to the wall. Sniffing hard, the air smelled of blood except for dampness.
Tentatively called: "The owner? ”
He remained motionless as if he couldn't hear the outside world. I followed his line of sight, and saw that his gaze fell on the diagonal wall, which was not right, as if he was empty.
I shone my flashlight to see if there was anything nearby that was attracting his attention, only to find that there was a phantom layer in that location, and it was different from what I had encountered before. Previously, it was the difference between the layers of inclined air, which was directly above and below the two layers.
But that's not the problem, the problem is that I probably guessed the reason why the owner was out of order at this time. So I asked, "Did you see them suddenly disappear out of thin air?" Sure enough, his whole body was shaken, his eyes rolled, and then he turned his head in horror and asked me, "You saw it too?" ”
The same words come out of the same mouth at different times and in different scenes, and I still ask back: "What do you see?" ”
This time, he didn't stay in the hallucination again, and asked urgently: "Didn't you say just now that they disappeared out of thin air?" I nodded, and before I could speak, he immediately said, "I didn't mean to push her, and I didn't expect that she would be pushed away with such a push." ”
"Who are you pushing?" I guessed the reason, but I wondered why he used "she" instead of them? Shouldn't there be three people with him?
I only heard him say: "It's Miss Na Cen." ”
frowned and asked again: "Just her?" ”
The owner nodded, "I was knocked unconscious by them before, and I woke up here, and everyone else was gone, except for Miss Cen." Miss Shum asked me to go forward to find someone, even if I didn't know what had happened before, I knew that something was wrong when I looked at the situation. Under the dispute, she was pushed, and the result disappeared out of thin air. ”
Well, I guess we're all scattered in this cave. You can roughly think of the situation on their side, when Xiao You saw that He Zhixu, who was walking faster, he must have rushed to catch up with them regardless of them, needless to say, the result was that he entered another layer of cave by mistake, and he may not be able to find He Zhixu, but he will definitely not be able to return to the original layer. In this case, even if Cen Xi knew that there was a difference, she couldn't think of a reason for a while, and she would definitely let Ade explore the way, so this exploration would never return, so in the end, she and the unconscious owner were left.
At this time, she definitely didn't dare to trade in, and when the owner woke up, she must be anxious and anxious, so she wanted the owner to look for someone again, but she was unexpectedly pushed by the owner, and directly pushed into another rift, so that all four people were scattered.
I thought about it for a moment and decided to tell him the principle: "This cave seems to be a straight passage, but it has different levels that are difficult to grasp with the naked eye. So they didn't disappear into thin air, they just strayed into something else. ”
The owner of the village was suspicious when he heard this, and looked at me suspiciously: "How do you know?" ”
I was silent, naturally unable to tell him that my eyes could see, but said, "Because I have also been separated from them, and I have been here for hours before I understand this truth." ”
"Can we go back to the Bronze Gate, then?" The owner looked at me wistfully.
Mo looked at him for two seconds and shook his head: "I don't know." "I can't give an answer to such a question, whether I can get out of this cave is a big question, if I can really go back to the bronze gate, then maybe I can go again according to the original path taken by Gu Xi." But who can guarantee that this formation will not change? That's something I've been thinking about as I go all the way.
If it's not changing all the time, you won't have no way to turn back after stepping into the phantom level.
Looking at the owner of the village with a lost face, in fact, I knew the purpose of his desire to return to the bronze gate, but ......, "Do you really think there is a resurrection medicine in this world?" He was stunned, turned his head to look at me, and said as a matter of course: "Naturally, there is, isn't that what is being drawn on the picture?" How could the lying man come back to life if he hadn't been given the medicine? ”
I saw that he was serious and sensible, and I couldn't help but ask, "Don't you suspect that the painting is fake?" ”
"How can it be fake?" Instead, he asked me innocently, "None of the things left to me by the cave master are fake, from the stone formation on the mountain to the Qimen Dunjia array and the bronze gate in this place, how can I draw a fake picture to fool people?" ”
I was stunned, his words seemed to be groundless on the surface, but it was not unreasonable, the information left by the cave owner, including the jade plate that I saw only his shadow but did not see the fact, was not apocryphal, and it was not groundless for him to leave a voice to give a hint, as for the three paintings on the stone wall, except for the first one, I did not understand it, the other two paintings are generally clear.
Judging from this floor, there is no need for the cave owner to fake the painting.
After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Can you give me a detailed description of the painting, including details other than the three people?" ”
The owner looked at me, and he didn't say anything, but he felt something out of his pocket. When he opened it, my eyes lit up, and it looked like a parchment roll, and sure enough, when he unfolded it all, I saw that there was a painting on it.
When he handed it over, I couldn't help but ask, "Why did you bring it with you?" Seeing him laugh miserably, "I have been carrying it with me for almost thirty years, and I have never dared to put it down." ”
...... What a deep obsession this is!
