Chapter 203: The Path of Confusion
I glanced at the others a few times, and finally sat back down, anxious that this was true, but I knew that it was useless to be anxious now.
I began to regret the road I had traveled during the day, but I didn't care about it at all, and I didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.
I couldn't control myself, I looked up at the sky, and finally I didn't know what medicine was sold in the masked man's gourd, but I was confused and didn't know how to choose.
After much thought, I agreed, joined them, and accepted the Masked Man's offer.
With my joining, their rules have also been opened, and the mechanism of winning and losing is also very simple, that is, one person makes the question, others guess, and whoever guesses is the winner, and can influence the questioner.
Maybe it's not a good idea, we walked in a direction that I didn't know if it was a way out, but because of those questions, I was attracted to attention, and my mind was distracted a lot.
With the successive wins, I gradually became interested in this game?
All the way down, we went up a big hill, I was on the boat, and when I looked up, I saw that there seemed to be something not far away.
"Wait a minute!" I stopped him suddenly, then pointed to the place and asked everyone to look at it.
When I got closer, I saw clearly that there was a paper lantern lying on the hillside, and after I took a look, I found that this lantern had Jiang Yuchen's name on it.
I was stunned, I felt that something was wrong, and immediately looked elsewhere, and sure enough, I found other paper lanterns in other places on this small hillside.
It was almost five or six o'clock now, and in the blood-red sunset, I could clearly see the scattered and scattered paper lanterns.
When the others found out about this, they went over there to examine them and make further sure of what was on them.
These lanterns may have come from the same direction, in the same place, and were released at the same time, so they were gathered together.
Watching them walk into the distance, I immediately jumped off the back of the boat, picked up the lanterns and looked at them a few times.
The lantern was made of white paper, nothing special, I turned it carefully, and saw that the outside of the lantern was already very damaged, but after turning around, I found a note from the lantern.
After seeing this note, my heart finally settled, because it showed that it was probably the Kong Ming lantern that we put out the night before when we went down to the tomb.
Looking at the note in our hand, and the direction in which the lanterns were blowing, we can follow the direction of these lanterns to determine the way back.
Thinking of what happened that night, and when the lights were turned on, Jiang Yuchen's words made me curious, I don't know what he would write?
When I opened the note, I saw only a short string of words - I hope he lives and we will definitely see each other again.
Seeing this string of words, I can't figure out who is the person he is talking about? It seems that this person's situation is very worrying.
After thinking about it, there was no result, and in the end I had to choose to give up, after all, it was his business, and I was not an outsider to guess much.
However, the appearance of these lanterns is really timely, I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional.
The memories were interrupted again, and we all walked away to the distant afterglow, all while playing games to ease the anxiety in our hearts.
Walking towards the junction between darkness and light, we determined our direction while looking for any lanterns that had not fallen nearby.
Because we know that there were many people who put lamps at that time, and some people put two, one to pay tribute to the dead and pray that God may receive its soul, and the other is to yearn for the solution of death to the living.
Along the way, we felt the direction of the wind at that time, but we couldn't determine the way back according to the wind direction, so we needed to constantly correct the direction.
After such a long time, the direction of the wind has changed a long time ago, but if you follow the fall of the lantern carefully, you will find a lot of useful places?
Looking at the paper lanterns, we walked all the way forward, up that small hill, up the hill.
The slope of this hill is very small, but the road is long, which makes it a bit difficult for us to walk.
But I have a direction in my heart, and I don't feel anything, at least it's much better than walking around without direction.
When we were stumped by a puzzle again, we were all ready to take a break and replenish our strength, and when I looked up at the sky, I saw that there was already a moon hanging up.
Like the palm lamp in the Milky Way, the whole land is illuminated with silver white, and when I look at other places through that light, I find that there seems to be a huge scenery in the distance, like a mirage, projected under the silver moonlight.
From my direction, it looked like a cloud tower in an illusion, towering into the clouds, but it was extremely lonely in the moonlight.
If we look from the cloud tower, we can only see this wasteland, and nothing else, because the glass blocks all our vision.
The world in the moonlight is very quiet, and it is silent to see, there is no sound at all, but we are not desolate, because hope is in our eyes, as long as we open our eyes, we can see the vast sky.
When I sat down, I didn't want to get up again, so I lay down again and turned my head to look at the others, who were also looking around for directions.
Liu Ran gathered all the food on our bodies, counted the number of people, and finally said, "This may be our last meal, if we can't find a way out, it will be bad." ”
No one answered her, everyone's hearts were heavy, and even I didn't have the heart to complain about anything anymore, so I took the biscuits that were divided and ate them little by little.
After eating, I still didn't feel much better, and rummaged through my backpack again, only to see some tools made of metal, and there was no more food or anything else to eat.
Shaking his head, we didn't have a good time, and the food we could bring was limited, and now when we were hungry, we really wanted to pick up the whirlwind chop and use it as a chocolate to eat a few bites.
I don't know what other people think, but I feel exhausted and want to stay here forever, but the next moment, I know that this is not a long-term solution.
With a sigh, I looked up and walked briskly towards the open field of vision, we couldn't stay here for long, and as the food in my body was digested, it was getting longer and longer.
In order to save energy, we walked forward by the bright moonlight, but the first half of the night was fine, and in the second half of the night, things went bad.
I suggested that I stop the game because I was sleepy and hungry and didn't want to go on like this.
The others didn't speak, as if they didn't have the interest they had before?
Following them, the boat determined the direction and led us into the darkness.
The light of the moon was getting dimmer and dimmer, and we had been walking for four or five hours, with two brief breaks along the way, both while the boats were in their direction.
We didn't have much more to say about it, and even Baizhou didn't bother to explain the direction of the wind to the masked man, and after pointing in a certain direction, he began to walk towards that place.
As I looked at them, I felt more and more exhausted and sluggish.
Until we were exhausted and unable to move forward, I accidentally caught a glimpse of a bright light not far away, as if a sudden explosion roar in the moonlight brought us back from our trance.
"There's light there!" This short sentence is like a shot in the arm for us, and the fatigue along the way is swept away.
Following the masked man's voice, we walked over quickly, for fear that we would miss something if we were a few steps behind.
When we saw the fire, it was as if we had eaten a table of 100 people, and a breath of heat came up, and we all rushed in the direction of the firelight.
This distance is hope, and it is constantly shrinking, as if there is nothing to see in the eyes, only the shadow of the fire.
It's getting closer and closer, going down from above, our speed is faster than before, I don't know how many times, in addition to the reason for this slope, there is also the inner longing.
But unconsciously, the surrounding scenery has also changed, but our goal is fixed at one point, so we instinctively ignore the surrounding environment, but we feel that this place has suddenly changed from a desolate area in the distance to a nearby mountain forest area.
This kind of chaotic intersection actually doesn't give us much feeling, and we don't even notice it, just to accompany the change in distance.
However, when we actually walked near the light, we had to calm down and try to control ourselves, because there was more than one person in front of us, and there were more than three times as many of them.
The men were carrying torches and black backpacks. I was in the light, fighting my spirits, calming myself down, because I saw that they had guns in their backpacks, and they were big guys, and I could be sure that they were at least semi-automatic rifles or assaulters, or maybe powerful machine guns.
In the face of such strong firepower, even if it is a hungry wolf, I am afraid we will have to wait, not to mention that we are human beings, and we also understand what the result will be if we rush directly over now.
However, when we settled down and looked at the group of unsure friends and foes, we saw that each of them had masks on their faces, and they were all metal, and on the wrist with the torch, there was also a metal bracer, and I could clearly see some of the patterns on the bracers when I was so close to the light source.
Without exception, they are all a huge snake-shaped pattern, and the appearance of this pattern made me look at Baizhou and the masked man, and a group of nouns immediately jumped out of my heart - the world snake, and the mask of the god king.
Could these people also be related to the clan tomb?
Baizhou glanced at it a few times, and whispered that they might be the mountain guards here, but for the appearance of that mask, we looked at the mask man together.
