As speculated, the nights of this world, or of this planet, are extremely long.

The three of them took turns to keep vigil for a full turn, and there was no sign of dawn in the sky.

When it was Li Yi's turn to keep vigil again, he looked at his watch, looked up at the sky again, and said to himself, "It's been 18 hours." ”

Xu Wei, who was replaced off work, seemed to think of something, and leaned over to Li Yi very worriedly and said, "It won't be the polar day and night, right?" The day and night of the two levels of the earth only change once every six months......"

Li Yi couldn't help but exhale deeply, obviously a little anxious: "I can't rule out this possibility, if that's the case, then we'll be a little unlucky." ”

Shan Liang, who was woken up, poked his head out of the tent and said with a panicked expression: "Then, what should we do now?" ”

Li Yi thought for a long time and said slowly: "Wait a little longer...... We waited for three days, and if it was still night, then it didn't matter so much, and we took action. Well, that's all there is to it! Now 18 hours have passed, and another 54 hours have been waited. ”

Shan Liang and Xu Wei nodded a little speechlessly, and finally had to suppress the worries in their hearts and bury their heads into the tent and fall asleep.

More than 3 hours later, the two were woken up by Li Yi's surprise voice: "Hurry up!" It's lit up! It's dawn! ”

The two of them, who were already sleeping very unsteadily, were startled at the same time, and then rushed out of the tent with a roll.

At this time, it was not strictly daylight, but only a hint of gray in the sky, and the night was just gray night, but at least the visibility was much better, and the outlines of the sides above the Grand Canyon could already be faintly seen.

“YES！ YES！ YES！ ”

"God forbid! Amitabha! ”

Seeing the color of dawn, Shan Liang almost cried with joy, clenched his fists with both hands and made several small downpercut movements in a row, while the fat man Xu drew a cross on his chest in a nondescript manner, and then put his hands together and said a Buddha horn.

Li Yi also breathed a sigh of relief, took off his glasses and wiped them, and after putting them back on, he smiled and watched these two fools playing there.

After venting, the three of them did not waste any more time, and immediately found the sappers to dig a pit and bury the bag.

Probably because of the small gravitational force, the soil on this planet is very soft, and after a while, Shan Liang and Xu Wei took turns to go into battle, digging seven or eight large pits around the camp very easily.

The reason why so many pits are dug is, in Li Yi's words, - all eggs cannot be put in one basket.

At the same time, Li Yi opened all the suitcases and backpacks, and reorganized the materials inside, and sorted and packed all the materials that might not be needed or temporarily needed in this world, and finally left only a large backpack, which contained a week's rations for three people.

After burying and marking the bags, more than half an hour has passed, but the sky has clearly turned white, and although the scenery in the distance is still relatively blurry, the surrounding scene is clearly visible.

Shan Liang and Xu Wei, who had never been to this world before, sat in place to recover their strength, and looked up and down left and right with curious expressions.

As Li Yi described, their crossing point was in a canyon.

This canyon is very large, the middle terrain is flat, the height of the cliffs on both sides is between 100-200 meters, the width of the canyon is nearly 1,000 meters, it looks more like a river, from the end of the valley of several hundred meters before and after, the road sight is blocked by the staggered cliffs, and I don't know how long this canyon extends, and what will be the scene behind.

The whole Grand Canyon looks very desolate, there is no vegetation, and there are no birds and animals, the soil in the middle zone is soft, the viscosity is not high, the color is brown and yellow, the closer to the cliff, the hardness and viscosity of the soil are higher, and the darker the color, but whether it is the bottom of the valley or the cliff, the surface is earthy, and there is no presence of rocks.

After Xu Wei retracted his gaze, he muttered, "It doesn't feel like a place for people here." ”

Before the words fell, his head was slapped by Shan Liang, who had already stood up: "! Aren't we human? Can you talk about taboos? ”

Xu Wei was about to refute, but saw Li Yi, who was not far away, take out a few small objects from his arms, and then squatted on the ground doing some strange movements, so he got up and leaned over with curiosity.

"Lao Li, what are you doing?" Xu Wei squatted aside and watched Li Yi's movements, wondering in his heart.

Shan Liang also followed, pointed to the objects on the ground, and said, "Huh? What is it? Coins? ”

Li Yi snorted, kept moving in his hands, picked up the copper coin and threw it on the ground, and repeated it several times, and then, I saw him take the copper coin back into his pocket, muttering something in his mouth, while closing his eyes and thinking.

After a long time, Li Yicai opened his eyes, raised his arm and pointed to the end of the valley and said, "Explore the road in this direction and prepare to go!" ”

Xu Wei looked up in the direction Li Yi was pointing: "Why?" Why this direction? Is there a doorway? ”

Li Yi stood up and smiled mysteriously: "Have you heard of Liuyao?" ”

Shan Liang shook his head again and again, while Xu Wei shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he didn't know at all.

Li Yidao: "This is a kind of Yishu metaphysics...... Generally speaking, it is a method used for divination and good luck, of course, there are other faction methods, such as what Ziping Bazi, plum blossom easy to count, Ziwei Doushu, oh, and Qimen Dunjia......"

Before he finished speaking, Shan Liang, who had just said that he wanted to talk about taboos, interrupted speechlessly: "Boss, what are you trying to make trouble about?" Are you here to play time travel, or are you here to be a god stick? If this is still on Earth, maybe it will be useful, but this is all in the other world, is this thing still reliable? Take a few copper coins and throw them a few times, and the direction of the expedition will be determined, this is a life-threatening matter, don't you think it's too hasty? ”

Xu Wei was noncommittal: "I still believe in this thing." Almost everyone in my parents' unit believes this, and I heard that especially those who are leaders, whenever they adjust their personnel, buy a house and decorate something, they will ask the master to take a look, and it is said that it is quite effective. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Wei's tone changed: "But, Lao Li, it's not that I don't believe in fate, but I don't believe in you very much." I never knew that you still understood this, if you only have a half-baked level and solve the hexagram upside down, then it will fall big! ”

Li Yi said seriously: "One of my majors is psychology, and during my graduate studies, the direction of my research was the intrinsic relationship between psychology and numerology. Numerology and psychology have many similarities, nothing more than one is mystified, the other is covered with a layer of scientific skin, one of my research projects is to remove the dross of numerology and extract its essence, as far as possible to explain the principles and phenomena of numerology scientifically. After in-depth research, most of the principles of numerology can be explained by science or psychology, and they can be explained. ”

Li Yi smiled slightly, and said with a very profound look: "Maybe you don't know very well, most people who study psychology are also interested in metaphysics, religion, philosophy, and aesthetics, because they are all metaphysical things, and psychology is good, as long as he is willing to learn numerology, he will definitely learn it well." Almost all of my graduate students in that class called themselves masters of metaphysics, but they studied in different directions, some studied Feng Shui, some studied Buddhism, and some studied constellation tarot cards or something. As for me, I mainly attack Liuyao and Ziwei Doushu, one is used to measure good luck and evil, and the other is used to tell fortunes. ”

Shan Liang still thinks this matter is enough nonsense: "I don't know what metaphysics is, I only know that this is not the earth, and your fortune-telling methods may not be applicable in this world." ”

"Hmm!" Xu Wei also echoed: "If you can figure out what color I am wearing today, I will believe you!" ”

In the expectant eyes of the two of them, Li Yi coughed seriously, thinking that he was going to accurately say the color of Xu Wei's underwear, but he suddenly spread his hands: "Actually...... I don't know if it works. ”

These words suddenly ushered in the disappointed middle fingers of the two: "Flicker! And then flicker! ”

"Maybe it would work?" After Li Yi reluctantly defended a sentence, he said very straightforwardly: "Anyway, there are two directions to go, either A or B, either big or small." If you were asked to choose a direction, would there be a better way? I guess it's no different from rolling the dice, right? In this case, it is better to follow my method, which is more or less reliable than yours. ”

These words suddenly made the two speechless, so they had to pinch their noses and nod: "It makes sense, just listen to you." ”

Before leaving, Li Yi was very cautious and asked the two of them to carry only three meals of dry food and drinking water, and all the excess food was packed into a large backpack and dug a pit on the spot to bury it, and only sabers and binoculars were brought in terms of weapons and tools.

The reason for this is that this trip is only a preliminary exploration, the purpose is to find out the situation in the vicinity, and then it is necessary to return to this camp to make plans, so there is no need to bring so much food to increase the weight on yourself, and it can also prevent unnecessary material losses after accidents.

After emphasizing discipline again, Li Yi walked in front with a telescope, Shan Liang was in the center, Xu Wei was broken, and the three of them kept a distance of 10-20 meters between them and walked forward.

I have to say that walking on this planet, a normal step is worth three steps on the earth, which is really easier than walking for the three earthlings, and the speed has increased a lot while not feeling tired at all.

Soon, the three of them walked near the bend of the canyon, Li Yi appropriately reduced his speed, stopped when he reached the corner, squatted and carefully poked his head out to take a look, and saw that there was nothing abnormal in front of him, so he boldly picked up the telescope and took a closer look.

"Safety!"

Li Yi gestured to the back, put away the binoculars, got up and continued to move forward.

This is an "S" shaped canyon bend, the length of each bend is only more than 100 meters, and the width has been reduced to less than 300 meters.

Seeing this desolation, Shan Liang, who had already had an opinion on Li Yi's determination of the direction by throwing copper coins, couldn't help but start beating drums in his heart, and ran to Li Yi's staff officer and said, "Or ...... Take a look at the canyon first? ”

Xu Wei also reminded: "Didn't you say that there should be a strong magnetic field source nearby, it's hard to choose the wrong direction." ”

However, Li Yi still decided to walk along the bottom of the valley for a while, and if there was nothing to find at that time, it would be useless to further confirm that this direction was useless, and it would not be too late to return to the original path or go to the top of the canyon.

The two partners did not object to Li Yi's decision on the surface, but in their hearts, they were ready to see each other's jokes later.

Shan Liang also muttered to Xu Wei in private: "I'll just say it, superstition doesn't work in this place at all." This Lao Li, he is a highly educated intellectual, and I heard that he joined the party during college? This is simply a serious blasphemy against our party and against materialism! I'm a non-partisan person, and my consciousness is higher than his......"

Just as Shan Liang was chattering, Xu Wei's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and while his hands were quickly raised above his head, he quietly kicked Shan Liang in the lower plate.

"Why are you kicking me? I'm telling you the truth...... I'll it! ”

Before he finished speaking, Shan Liang couldn't help but exclaim, and then quickly covered his mouth, and then quickly raised his hands above his head in a gesture of surrender, and his eyes widened, because just in front of his head, an unheard of and unseen extremely sci-fi flying machine was suspended in mid-air, and the nose of the plane was aimed diagonally at the three outsiders on the ground in an attacking posture.
