Chapter 186: Ghost Strikes the Wall (Part II)
Lin Shaoge looked at Bang Yue with interest.
Seeing that he was interested, she couldn't help but feel a little proud, and became even more pretentious: "Actually, there is a slight difference in the length of our left and right legs. Well...... It should be said that animals are like this, and we are usually able to walk in a straight line because our eyes constantly adjust the direction according to the scene on the road. If you find an open field, blindfold a man, and let him walk forward, you will find that the path he has walked is a big circle. β
"Hmm." Seeing that she was finished, Lin Shaoge asked with a smile: "So, how did they follow such a road and go around in circles?" β
"Huh?!" Bang Yue was stunned.
After thinking about it carefully, I found that what I said was only applicable to places where there was no road and it was not easy to identify the direction, such as in the woods or in the mass graves - these two places are the frequent places where "ghosts hit the wall". Because of such a place, the geomorphological features are not obvious, and it is difficult to discern the direction, so it is easy to unconsciously go around in circles, plus these two places are very easy to make people have terrifying associations in their hearts, and it is even worse for people who are lost. When such an encounter is spoken, it is easy to be spread by curious people, so there are naturally many stories of ghosts hitting the wall.
But that's not the same thing right now.
There's only one road here.
This hemlock forest is only a hundred miles in diameter - more than thirty miles in diameter.
When encountering a "ghost hitting the wall", the reaction of a normal person must be both afraid and unbelieving, and speed up and keep moving forward, so that a day of walking is enough to walk through the entire forest. But the fat man and the thin man had spoken of "two days," that is, they had been walking on the road for three days, and it was evident that this was not the end of the roadβthey were both standing on the very high treetops and looking around, and the dense forest could not be seen.
The hemlocks on both sides were very dense, and the roads were still very strong, and the fat and thin two did not look like they had drilled through the woods. How do you go around in place along the road?
Now Bang Yue's heart is furious.
"Is there really a ghost?" She looked at him weakly.
Lin Shaoge wanted to laugh but held back.
"This road looks like a straight road, but it's actually a circle, and because the circle is big, you can't see it." He drew a circle in the air with his hands.
Bang Yue suddenly said: "Sure enough, there is only one truth." So...... These people are on this road, turning and turning, and they go crazy? That's not right. β
Shaoge shook his head and smiled: "I covered your eyes just now, so you don't know what they do." It's just pretending to be a ghost. β
"Ahh Bang Yue clapped her hands, "I understand." Just now, this fat man went crazy because he saw the robe torn in two. I remember the skinny man sayingβ'Fat man...... You've torn it...... and then the fat man lost his mind and killed the thin man. If I'm not mistaken, it was this garment that he had torn, and the garment he had torn appeared again and again, just as a reference to let him know that he was back in the same place again...... Is that so? β
"Hmm. Xiao Er is very smart. β
She smiled and bent her eyes, "That's it." Now that we know their secrets, what do we do next? β
"Find the passage."
Bang Yue thought for a moment and understood what he meant.
If this avenue is a circle, then there must always be a hidden passage, inward, to the lair of the "old man", and outward, to the outside of the wasteland. The passage must be well covered so that these people pass through it again and again without detecting it.
"Why do these people always put so much effort into making the clouds obscured? The matter of Wuqi Mountain, it is understandable, Xuanyuan Zhenyu needs such a place to hide his strength, and there are secrets in the mountain that we have not discovered. So what's going on here? Since they are all bandits, it will not be over if they are killed, and it is a hundred times more troublesome to make such a big formation and pretend to be a ghost in front of so many people than to kill them directly. β
Lin Shaoge pondered for a moment: "There is always a reason. I'm afraid this reason has something to do with these people going crazy. β
With that, he tiptoed a little and skimmed the forest road into the woods.
Bang Yueqi said: "These people are crazy, is there any other reason?" β
"Naturally, there is."
Bang Yue thought about it carefully, nodded and said, "Indeed." If the victims are all bandits...... For example, this fat man killed his companions casually, which is obviously not a good type. If you want to drive such a person and many people like this, you can't do it by a 'ghost hitting the wall'. β
"Hmm."
"I don't know who this old man is, when these people go crazy, they seem to be talking about him. This fat man seems to mention some porridge, the government, and bandits, although he knows that countless tragedies have happened in the land of Jiangdong, but if I want to study them one by one, I think about it, and my heart is cold. But we have to face this, don't we? β
Shaoge was silent for a long time. finally spoke slowly: "Actually, it doesn't have to. Xiao Er, when you walk at night, you can close your eyes and follow me. β
"I prefer to be able to walk side by side with you." Her eyes burned with a dazzling light.
She quickly lowered her head and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Naturally, I can't do it now, thank God for not holding you back." β
"There's no hurry."
"Hmm...... Don't want a mount? When Bang Yue saw him go straight to the center of the woods, she remembered the calf tied to the edge of the road.
"Let's take a look." He tightened his arms and picked up speed.
I couldn't figure out the reality before, and I shuttled through the dense forest with the calf, which was like a snail.
At this time, Lin Shaoge walked lightly, and his speed was naturally several times faster.
A few hours later, he found the secret passage.
There were many people dressed in green-brown striped clothes who were busy.
The men were silent in their movements, each carrying a strange broom that could wipe out all traces of the ground with a slight sway.
It's that simple?!
Bang Yue looked at the scene in front of her, slightly stunned.
On that day, she found that the footprints on the road to Plains City had miraculously disappeared, and she thought about many possibilities...... The stupidest thing is that there is also a group of masters who come and go without a trace, using some very special means to cover up the traces on the ground - such as scattering some strange dust. Even if you use a tool to clean up the footprints, you should ...... A little...... Looks a little more powerful, right?
How could it be like this in front of you - tie a broom behind the fart?!
This is the team of mysterious old men who terrified the two evil bandits in Jiangdong?!
Bring a broom and pretend to be a ghost......
Bang Yue rubbed her eyebrows like Lin Shaoge.
