Chapter 115: Illusion
I knew it was bad when I hit the air, and before my body could react, the foot I was standing on was entangled in something and pulled hard, and I fell to the ground again, and my body was in pain, and this fall was even more painful.
Before I could experience the pain, the thing that was wrapped around my foot was like a rope, pulling me in one direction, and I struggled to get out, but to no avail.
I grabbed my hands around, trying to grab something, but the ground was like ice, and there was nothing, and just when I was in a hurry, the thing wrapped around my feet suddenly loosened, and I took advantage of this opportunity, I endured the pain and quickly got up to guard the surroundings, but I couldn't see anything except the black and flickering.
This thing is so hateful, I don't know what magic was used to make this place so dark, I can't see it, I try to concentrate on seeing it is still vague, only occasionally I feel like I see a black shadow flying by, but I am not sure, there is no sound at all.
I was surprised, suddenly there was a "bang" sound, the sound was extremely ugly and the decibel was so high that I was startled, and then I looked at the surrounding scenery suddenly became clearer, like a gust of wind blowing away the dense fog in front of me.
I looked around me carefully, it was no longer the ice cave I used to be, but now I was in a cage that resembled a circle, surrounded by thick black iron chains that were locked into a large circle with black gas, and the outside was full of black mist, and I couldn't see what it was.
I don't know how the hemp eater brought me here, but it looks like I'm trapped here, like a cage locking me here.
I tried to go to the edge and push the black chain with my hand, but as soon as my hand touched the chain, it was bounced back by an invisible force with a burning pain, not like a physical pain but I can't describe what it feels like, like a message from the brain that the body can't feel.
I tried touching the black chain two more times, and the pain was so strong that I finally gave up, and it looked like a cage was trapping me here.
There were no other exits around, and the space enclosed by the black iron chain was like a black ball, and I couldn't see what was outside the chain, and I couldn't see anything in the black patch, even if I tried to see with my spiritual eye.
I was stuck here for an unknown number of hours, and gradually I felt more and more tired, my spirit became more and more wilted, and I felt more and more blurry when I looked around, I didn't feel tired or hungry, I just wanted to get a good night's sleep.
Just when I was about to fall asleep, the sound of "bang" came again, and this time the sound was louder than the last time, and it woke me up all of a sudden, like a person who had just fallen asleep and was suddenly woken up by someone with a plate of cold water, the sleepiness was gone, I covered my head and shook it for a while to get better, this damn sound shook my brain.
After shaking for a while, I felt that the pain disappeared a little, and my spirit was clearer, I looked around for the source of the sound, but I still found nothing, but in one part of the black chain I found a crack, like a piece of glass that had been knocked by something, not broken but a crack like a reticulum.
I walked over slowly, and found that there was also a gap in the black fog at the crack, I slowly tried to touch it with my hand, the pain did not come, and my hand felt like pressing against a cold ice wall, my heart moved, and there was play.
I slowly increased my strength, and the crack in my place became bigger and bigger, and finally I used all my strength in my heart, and the crack spread bigger and bigger, and I became more and more excited, as long as I broke this cage, I would get out.
After holding on for a few minutes, when I felt that both arms were going to be weak, suddenly the crack was completely broken and disappeared, and I lost my center of gravity and fell, and my whole body suddenly fell down in front of me, and I couldn't see any vision in the surrounding darkness, this feeling lasted for about a few seconds, and suddenly I opened my eyes, and it felt like I had fallen from a high place in a dream and woke up.
In front of me is still in the ice cave, but everything is gone, I stood up and guarded the surroundings, but I didn't find where the hemp eater was, and the shadows of those souls all disappeared, and it took me ten minutes or so to confirm that I couldn't find the hemp eater, maybe I didn't find where it was hidden, and then there was a sharp pain all over my body, and I couldn't hold on anymore and fell.
I don't know when I was rescued, but when I woke up, I was still on my way back, and someone next to me was talking to me, but I didn't hear anything and fainted again.
After returning from Horngou, Minister Xiao immediately arranged for someone to send me to the hospital for treatment, fortunately, I had a spirit seed to protect my body, and I returned home to recuperate after a few days in the hospital, which scared my parents a lot.
I asked Minister Xiao about my stay in the ice cave, and it turned out that I had been in the ice cave for more than five hours, and the two people left behind reported the situation to Minister Xiao, and Minister Xiao was afraid that I would have an accident and personally brought someone over, and arranged for someone to sneak into the pool where I entered, and finally found me unconscious in another place.
I asked him if he had seen anything strange other than me, and Minister Xiao told me with certainty that I didn't see anything but me, and that I just lay on the ice, and found nothing but some injuries on my body.
I wondered, could it be that all I encountered in it was an illusion?
My body recovered very quickly, in addition to the body itself is strong, the most important thing is the spirit seed, this point is only known except for the Dao Quanzi, seeing my body recover as before, my parents are also sure to relax a lot, during this period, Minister Xiao has nothing else to do except call twice to comfort, but the last call told me to be careful recently, Minister Yang has recently found signs of infiltration of foreign hostile forces, and the specific is not too clear, It's just certain that I'm from India, and I don't know when I offended someone, or if it's Indian.
Could it be that Dao Quanzi's enemy or the information is wrong, Minister Xiao told me on the phone that the news will not be wrong, and it would be better if it could be wrong, but Minister Yang will not make mistakes in this kind of thing, whether it is true or false, it is still necessary to be careful.
That night, I found that there were many strangers ambushed around my house, it seemed that Minister Xiao sent to protect my family, and the restaurant of Qiangzi and Tong Lei Lane also opened as scheduled, and there were not many people who came to cheer, but they were all local figures, and I don't know when he met these friends, and even Minister Yang, who had not seen him for a long time, sent someone to send a cart of large flower baskets.
Entering August is the hottest time in Beijing, I sit in the yard alone idle boring, my parents and Qiangzi's parents found a job, it was introduced by Minister Xiao, in a military nursing home to do some idle work, not tired, the salary is not low or high, they are very satisfied, afterwards Minister Xiao explained to me: "There is safer than in this home."
This not only solves the troubles of my parents looking for a job, but also solves my worries, I know that I owe a big favor, and I don't know when I can pay it off.
This hot day is really unbearable, sitting under the shade of the tree is hot and sweating, standing up and moving the muscles and bones, I feel that the whole person has to be wasted if I stay like this again.
Out of the house, I walked down the trail, and there was a stall not far from my house, where a young man wearing a sun hat was sitting selling all kinds of cold drinks.
To the east of the trail is the main road leading to the town, and on both sides of the trail are full of small shops, and I stopped in front of a small store, where I have been buying some small things when I have nothing to do lately and sitting on the side to watch a few old men play chess, and after a long time, I will become familiar with each other, and occasionally accompany them to play a few games.
Lao Qi, Lao He and Lao Bai are the owners of this squatting point, the commissary is opened by Lao Qi's family, and is taken care of by his son and daughter-in-law.
I went into the house and bought a few popsicles and sat aside to watch the two of them grinding chess, I handed the popsicle in my hand forward, "Uncle, eat a root to relieve the heat."
The two of them didn't raise their heads, Uncle Bai pointed to the teacup in his hand, I smiled and took the popsicle back to myself while eating, and then I realized that the three of the three people in the Iron Triangle came one less today.
"Why didn't Uncle Qi come today? It's just the two of you, so I can make up a few of them," I quipped.
"General", Uncle Bai shouted to Uncle He in front of the door, and then said to me.
"Something happened to the old Qi's family, and I can't come today."
"What happened to Uncle Qi's family?" , I pointed to a son on the chessboard, "You take the horse to block it".
Uncle He glared at me, "Isn't it a horse for nothing?" ”。
"He eats your horse, you just eat him on the side of the car, the horse will him, and you can also draw the general."
