221. Which step
In addition, the owner of the cave has another very important tip - there is no shore to turn back.
In the Phantom Cave, "turning back without a shore" means that you can only move forward, and you can't find the original way when you turn back. But several times I was forced to have no choice but to turn around and leave, and in the end I still got out of that phantom hole.
That is to say, "turning back without a shore" does not necessarily mean that there is really no shore, but it just makes you lose yourself from the original point. Then you can't get out of this place when you come in...... Can't get out if you come in? I found out that I found a bug, Gu Xi said that this array should have been running more than ten years ago, and said that once it was running, the people outside couldn't get in, and the people inside couldn't get out, so how did me and him get in?
The fact that the formation had been activated before we came in and still fell into this space only proves one thing: this place is not impregnable under the formation, it has a gap, and this gap is where we fell.
Of course, it is impossible for it to climb to the top, even if it is so simple to crack this formation, thinking of this, I plan to wake up Gu Xi and go over there to take a look, maybe I can find something.
But when I pushed Gu Xi with my hands, my body suddenly froze, the blood in my whole body coagulated in an instant, and cold sweat poured out on my forehead and back. Actually, I pushed it empty!
Obviously he was half-lying in his arms just now, and his face was buried in my shoulder socket and he was sleeping, and suddenly at this moment...... Gone.
My back hurts, and the fact reminds me where I am lying in Gu Xi's arms, obviously sleeping on the ground, and there are gravel under my back. I tried my best to think about it, and when I woke up after falling asleep, I felt that my body was warm and embraced, and his breath was close to me, and I felt that he was actually tired and deliberately didn't want to wake up, and I have been thinking about exploring this space since then.
It is impossible for him to leave and put me on the ground without realizing it, so why is there suddenly no him?
My thoughts were inexplicable, and I remembered one thing, and then I began to feel a chill from the bottom of my heart. In the phantom cave in Guiyang, I had a vision! At that time, at the moment of entering a rift, I saw Gu Xi suddenly attack me and plunge a lancet into my heart. It was only after He Zhixu pushed me out of this illusion that Gu Xi was no longer by his side at that time.
Am I in the illusion again?
But...... Is it an illusion that I wake up and feel Gu Xi sleeping in my shoulder socket, or is it an illusion that he suddenly disappears now? Or... I entered the illusion before I fell asleep, and found that the corpse was fake, the fall from the upper floor was also fake, what Tiangang Illusion Array was also fake, everything was fake? I was confused, and I couldn't tell more and more about what was true and what was false.
Gu Xi! There was a voice shouting his name in my heart, but I couldn't feel his breath around me anymore, and I was still saying that it was good to have him before I fell asleep, but in a blink of an eye he disappeared, and even I couldn't be sure if he really fell to this level with me.
What if everything was my illusion, and I was the only one who fell?
Despair overshadowed my senses, and I lost the slightest thought of getting up, and the blow was harder to accept than if he hadn't fallen in the first place. At the last moment of distraction, the only remaining trace of clarity emerged, it was Gu Xi who crossed me with cold black eyes and fell on He Zhixu behind him, and his tone was slightly raised to question why I and the owner of the village were fascinated by the illusion, but only He Zhixu did not produce it?
Why didn't he have a vision? I thought about it desperately, and I was shocked and remembered that it was because he was injured, and human flesh can make people sober.
In order to solve my current predicament, I first have to determine whether I am in the illusion or outside the illusion at this time.
Without hesitation, he bit his finger and sucked hard when the blood gushed out, the smell of blood permeated his lips, and his scattered consciousness gradually condensed. And the coldness in my heart is getting worse inch by inch, because if the blood really makes me sober, I still haven't returned to the warm scene of embracing Gu Xi before.
It is equivalent to saying that the picture is the illusion I generated, and at this moment it is back to reality.
The heart can't be cold, but after waking up, it won't be immersed in despair again. There is a force in my body that drives me to find the truth, to the end...... From what point did I escape into illusion!
Standing up on the ground, his hand swept over the ground as if touching something, and then a rolling sound was heard. My heart moved, I touched the ground a little bit, and soon I touched a cylindrical object, and with a light touch. Looking down at the flashlight in his hand, he was stunned, this was indeed an old-fashioned flashlight, and the metal surface that should have been silver and white had now turned gray and black.
But this is not enough to say anything, people are not delirious in the illusion, all behaviors are still normal, but there will be hallucinations that do not exist. I shone around with a flashlight, but I wasn't sure where I was, so I had to get up and walk in any direction. After walking about fifty meters, I turned around, and when I reached the original point just now, I walked in another direction, and when I walked like this for the third time, I saw the corpse of the Mo people when I walked thirty or forty meters.
The light carefully swept over the body, from the clothes to the body shape to the face, and found that everything was the same as the impression. Even I can remember every sentence that Gu Xi analyzed at that time, why is it detoxified in the body? Why does the body not decay? Why is it skinny? But there's a voice in my heart refuting me, and these can also be your own conjectures! When Gu Xi has completely penetrated into my life, his words and deeds, including his eyes and mannerisms, are engraved in my heart, so if I am in the illusion, it is entirely possible to imitate his thinking and think about things.
After a pause, I retracted my gaze. In any case, until the real and the illusion are determined, everything is reserved. But there is one thing that can be learned, and that is perception and judgment. I have the impression that I walked straight in one direction from the place where I fell, and I stopped not long after I walked out, because I met this corpse. In other words, the fall position is not far from here, and this time I don't have to try the direction one by one, I remember seeing the body facing the other side, I just had to walk to the same position and walk backwards for about a while.
When I came to a rock wall and the ground was full of rubble, I guessed that this was the place.
The light went straight up, but it was buried in the depths of darkness, which showed that it was at a height from above. Strictly speaking, this space is like a gap between the cracks of the mountains, there are no rules, as if it is a crack about three or four meters wide, and the top of the place I walked through just now is about five or six meters high.
It is said that nature is the most miraculous, who would have thought that there is such a world in a deep mountain. After discovering this place thousands of years ago, the owner of the cave laid out a formation and covered the top with stones.
The light swept five or six meters above the stone wall, his eyes froze, and then he shone upward, the dim light did not have enough range, and only faint traces of chaos could be seen. I analyzed in my heart, falling from the top down, if I was really the only one, then the person holding the knife to stop the fall was myself, what about the knife?
I had no knife on me, no weapon other than the bracelet on my wrist. Although the thin thread of the bracelet is powerful, it is impossible to pierce into the crack of the stone like a knife, so ...... My heart is tight, can I judge from this source analysis, is it true that he fell with me? Is it also true to use a lancet to stop the fall?
I desperately hope that this inference is correct, but there is always a hint of hesitation, what if this space is special? Haven't I encountered many bizarre things lately, maybe there is some special force that can stop me from falling from a high place in the air, so that I don't fall to my death. It's not that I'm making it up out of thin air, it's that the space has just been quiet, but when I get here, I feel that the air is surging, as if there is a force that makes me float.
Biting his lip, he decided to climb the stone wall to take a look.
I tucked my flashlight up on my waist so I could illuminate it. Then he reached out with both hands and grabbed the protruding stone, and a borrower stuck to the stone wall. Rock climbing, a sport that is admired by many people, is skilled in the athlete's ability to observe and judge, and whether every point that can be used as a support can withstand their own weight.
Fortunately, this mountain wall has not been blown by wind and rain, so it will not become a smooth cliff, and there are bumpy rocks everywhere, which is convenient for me to climb. When I climbed to a height of five or six meters, I paid special attention to the marks, which did look like a knife cut, and there was also a suspicious stone crevice about the width of a lancet.
I looked up at the topless abyss above, intending to climb up a little more. But when I climbed another three or four meters, I suddenly realized that I wanted to climb again, but I couldn't. Even though the light from above could shine through, it was as if there was an invisible barrier holding me down. No matter how hard I pushed, my hand could only reach that height, and I couldn't go any further.
Tiangang illusion formation, you can't get in from the outside, you can't get out from the inside!
I was stunned, and only then did I remember the name of this array, which just contained the word "illusion"! And now the principle of formation is the same. Gu Xi is very familiar with this kind of Qimen Dunjia technique, but I don't understand it at all, how can I make up such a name?
I felt that the answer was already there, and I thought that as long as I was sure that this paragraph was true, and those inferences were said by him at the same time as me, I could feel a little more at ease, at least to prove that he was really in the same space as me.
I no longer wanted to go up, and I was going to go down the same way, but there seemed to be something strange in the air.
