Chapter 40: The Vision of Time
I have never encountered such a thing, looking at the stunned face of the old ancestor, it seems that he is the same.
Is there a problem with the clock?
Or the most fundamental...... Is there a problem with timing??
"This ...... This is the time when there is turbulence...... Stargate is about to open...... The kings of the old days who can mess with time....... They're coming......." the old ancestor said, his tone inexplicably complex, solemn, and a kind of emotion similar to fear hidden in it.
I glanced at him and couldn't help but ask, "Have you ever encountered something like this before?" ”
"No, I'm just speculating...... Because I have heard that the stargate is an existence that transcends time and space, and when it opens the passage to the deep space star sea, the energy in it will spread out uncontrollably, and the time where the stargate is located will also fall into chaos......."
The old ancestor said, gritting his teeth, and his expression became more and more ugly.
"But the time that the stargate can affect is only a small part, and it is impossible to make the sky change color, which is a sign of the arrival of the kings of the old days!"
"What time is it?" I frowned and asked, "We're not going to travel with this time turbulence, are we?" ”
"I don't know ......"
The old ancestor said, looking left and right, and his expression became confused.
"There's nothing to refer to, so I don't know when it is, it's still in the original point in time, or it's already in another point in time.......
"Oops! Can I come up with a hypothesis?! Shippo suddenly shouted.
"You say." The Old Ancestor nodded.
"If we have jumped to another point in time, I don't know if it is the past or the future, it is definitely not our original position, then rush over now....... Is there still a free division on Kunlun Mountain? Qibao asked with a bitter face: "If he hasn't come yet, it was many years ago, when the master was not born yet, how unjust did we run this time?" ”
Hearing Qibao's words, I looked at the old ancestor for a while, and my expression was a little stunned.
This...... If this assumption is true.......
"Possibly." The Old Ancestor muttered, "This is really possible....... If the turbulence of time really takes us together...... Then it's all going to have to be ........"
"I'm in trouble." I gritted my teeth, and my voice was a little unfavorable: "If we really cross over, there are only two possibilities for the current situation, either before or after the free division...... If it's the former, then God wants to kill us, and if it's the latter......."
Speaking of which, my tone also became a little lighter, and it may have been a bit of a self-soothing ingredient.
"We should have succeeded." I said, the smile on my face a little unnatural: "If those old kings come to this world, the whole world will inevitably be ruined, and they will fall into a situation even more desperate than hell...... But the surroundings look quite normal, and the wind has stopped, unless those old kings love flowers and trees, or ......"
Listening to my analysis, the expression on the face of the old ancestor was still the same solemn.
"Isn't there an answer to whether time is going forward or backward?" The spider boy said coldly, reminding us: "When you went to look at the watch just now, did the hands go backwards or forward? ”
"It seems to be moving forward." I whispered.
"No, I remember it later." The old ancestor frowned and said.
In fact, I know very well that whether it is the ancestor or me, the answer we give is not certain, because no one knows how the hands turned at the beginning, and even the old man, who wears a watch, can't see it clearly.
The pointer buzzed fast, and it was a matter of an instant to stop, and it did not deflect back and forth, but stopped coldly......
"Just go up the hill and see." I sighed, lit a cigarette, and took two puffs, my expression becoming more and more helpless: "Only by doing this can we get the answer, everything else is false." ”
Everyone had no opinion on my proposal, and they followed us silently and continued to march towards the destination.
Since the previous long-distance run was not slow, now we are not far from the destination, and we can walk to the bottom of the mountain in ten minutes at most.
At this time, none of us spoke, even the sound of breathing was uncontrollably suppressed, the silence was strange, and the atmosphere became as if it were dead silence......
At this time, I was not idle, and the silence was not because I was frightened by what had happened before, but because I was feeling it carefully.
I have raised my perception to the highest level as much as possible, and I am carefully screening the wind and grass in all directions.......
As before, there was no sign of biological activity, no breath of the creatures of the past, and it was as calm as a pool of stagnant water......
After walking for about five minutes, there was a bit of fog in front of us.
It's not like some special fog, as far as I can see, it's the same as the most ordinary white fog, nothing special.
But not to mention, the concentration of these fogs is quite high, and I found trouble when I walked in.
Visibility is not ideal, even with a flashlight, you can only see the scenery within five meters, beyond which it is a blur.
"Follow me."
As the old ancestor spoke, he quickened his pace slightly, and walked to the front in a few steps to lead the way.
"The fog is too thick, don't get separated."
"Understood."
"Do you feel anything?"
Hearing the words of the old ancestor, I shook my head and said no, I was still as calm as before, and I felt that there was no danger.
"I hope so......" the old ancestor sighed, "We have now reached the bottom of the mountain, and we are walking up the foot of the mountain, I don't know if you feel it." ”
Everyone shook their heads, including me, and they all said they didn't feel anything.
The road we ran over before was rough enough, and there were many places uphill, so now that the ancestors asked, we really didn't have any special feelings.
But not to mention, following the old ancestor, I feel very relieved, not thinking that someone will protect me, but I feel that I am not the one at the forefront, and the pressure is not so great.
To put it bluntly, there is a mentality similar to that of ordinary people, when the sky falls, there are people in front of you, and those of us who follow behind are afraid of a fart?
Just as I imagined myself as a radar, constantly collecting the information fed back to me from all around, the ancestor who was walking at the forefront suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" I looked at him and asked in surprise, "Lost?" ”
"It's not." The old ancestor shook his head: "You come and see for yourself." ”
Hearing this, I didn't think much of it, and walked forward in a few steps.
When I looked up, I realized that some things had always existed, but they just didn't let me perceive them!
In front of the old ancestor, a pile of heavily decomposed corpses, lying on the ground, spreading endlessly up the hillside, because of the fog as a cover, I couldn't see what was going on in the distance, as far as I could see, almost all of them were human rotting corpses.
"Not ordinary people."
I squatted on the ground, not too dirty, and directly dragged the corpse's clothes with my hands and looked through them carefully.
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have imagined that there would be so many dead bodies around.
No dead air, no taste, nothing.
Even if I squatted on the ground and sniffed closely, it didn't smell good, it didn't smell anything.
"What's going on....... Old Ancestor squatted down, as if he had the same doubts as me: "You don't feel it...... I didn't feel it either....... Could it be that these fogs have a blocking effect? ”
"I can't say." I clapped my hands and slowly stood up, my face full of helplessness: "A lot of things in this mountain have become incomprehensible to us...... As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles....... Now we don't know anything about the situation on the mountain, and the trouble may be more than that. ”
Just as I was saying these words to my ancestors, faintly, not far in front of us, there was a sudden burst of chanting......
It was a child's voice, but I couldn't hear the boys and girls, I just felt that they were quite young, and their voices had a childish feeling.
He wasn't singing songs, it seemed to be some ...... Very strange tunes?
"Go up and have a look."
The old ancestor frowned and said, Without waiting for me to say anything more, he turned around and walked in the direction where the chanting sound came from.
