Chapter 64: The Fork in the Road
Welcome to Guanshu Network:
After mediating the argument between the two, Cha Wenbin continued: "Don't you think that what is depicted in this painting is very similar to some of the situations we are encountering now? ”。
Zhuo Xiong still drooped his head there, bowed his head and said nothing, it seems that some of Chaozi's words did hurt him, Cha Wenbin was also very helpless, everyone had countless questions about everything here, and the only clue was probably only Zhuo Laohan.
Chaozi said disapprerovingly: "The battle of the deer in this painting is just a legend, what does it have to do with us now?" ”
Cha Wenbin glanced at Zhuo Xiong, deliberately raised his voice a few points, and said, "What if I say that Zhuo Laohan is not lying?" ”
Zhuo Xiong's originally low head was raised with a brush, and he looked at Cha Wenbin with straight eyes, and Chaozi also came to his senses, and squeezed into the crowd again.
"The day before going down the well, that is, before they disappeared, we checked this village, including the ancient well, there seems to be nothing abnormal, and those Yizhuang are also locked, according to the layout of this village and the arrangement of the entire array, I will definitely tell them that these Yizhuang are forbidden areas in the village, and ordinary people will definitely not be able to enter, so Zhuo Laohan doesn't know that the situation inside is excusable, so he will use four fierce beasts to deter the villagers from entering."
After making a pause, Zhuo Xiong's face has been much better looking at the original, and Cha Wenbin's heart has gradually relaxed, at this time, if there is infighting, it is definitely not a good thing, continued.
"Qi Fengshan is really as Zhuo Laohan said, it is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, and it is normal for someone to go in and get lost, so Zhuo Xiong's mother and sister will disappear. This is basically the same as the information described in the first mural I saw earlier, only one peak of the mountain in that painting is exposed, and the rest of the mountain is under a white wavy line, I can now understand that this mountain cannot be seen all year round, and now we don't care whether the mountain in this painting is Turbidity Deer Mountain or Qifeng Mountain, let's assume that it is Qifeng Mountain. ”
Zhuo Xiong said: "Brother Wen Bin, if you say this, my father is not lying, when we first came to Qi Fengshan, we also saw with our own eyes that it was indeed hidden in the clouds. ”
Cha Wenbin nodded and said: "Yes, I once saw two pairs of centaurs in the second painting, among which the pair of the Yellow Emperor was trapped on the mountain, and Chiyou's army was surrounded outside, according to the legend of the Battle of Zhuolu, the Yellow Emperor was indeed trapped by the dense fog, which also coped with the natural conditions here." ”
He continued: "In the third painting, there is a woman standing on the top of a mountain, holding a white line in her hand, I never understood what the white line meant, but I can understand it when combined with the painting that follows now and the whole picture of Qifeng Mountain that you have seen. In the third painting, it is supposed to say that the woman took away all the fog from the mountain, so that the Yellow Emperor's army could get out of trouble, and in the fourth painting, Ying Long sprayed water from the top of the mountain and attacked Chiyou's army.
Don't you two think this is consistent with what we're in? ”。
Chaozi's heart was full of doubts at the moment, and he said eagerly: "You continue to speak." ”
"We heard that there was movement in the ancient well, and then Chaozi you went down the well, and then, the well water began to spew out, until the next morning I found that there was no water in such a deep ancient well, and then I went down the well, and then it was dawn, and you found that there was no cloud and mist on Qifeng Mountain. So what if I told you that the rain and fog on Qifeng Mountain dissipated before the well overflowed? It's just that because it's dark, we didn't even find out. Clouds are nothing more than the gaseous state of water, and in the final analysis, it is still water. The thick clouds on the mountain condensed into water because of something, and then rushed down the mountain and gushed out from the ancient well, is this consistent with the information described in the fourth mural? As for this vision, Zhuo Laohan didn't mention it to us, does that mean that it really appears for the first time? ”
After saying this, the three of them made some speculations in their hearts, yes, because it was dark, no one noticed the change in Qifeng Mountain, what if the clouds and mist receded before the ancient well erupted? That really confirms what the mural tells here, but there are only two opposing armies missing.
Chaozi sighed, "Oh my God, what kind of place is this! ”
Cha Wenbin continued: "The Ying dragon in this painting should be turned into a dragon to be exact, and a water dragon flies down along the mountain and erupts from the mouth of the ancient well, so the location of the ancient well should be the head of the dragon!" The water dragon absorbs the moon and absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon, in order to complement the existence of this large array, according to this trend, the upstream of this river may be Qifeng Mountain! As long as we keep going, we will definitely find the exit! ”
Cha Wenbin's words stimulated everyone as if they were beaten with chicken blood, and immediately untied the rope, and the raft opened its way forward again along the current, after this mural, the hole began to shrink gradually, and the low place had to lower its head to move forward, and the narrow place was just enough to allow a raft to pass, and the three of them hurried cautiously, but they never found any other murals, which made Cha Wenbin somewhat disappointed.
The raft was originally against the current, and it was difficult to walk with many people, so the speed of progress was not very fast, but fortunately, except for the occasional fish or two swimming by the side, there was nothing else.
As he was walking, Chaozi in front of him threw his stick against the stone wall on the side, giving the raft a sudden brake.
Cha Wenbin asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Chaozi tried to stabilize the raft and not retreat, and his mouth was full: "There are two forks in front, what should I do?" ”
Cha Wenbin hurriedly dared to bow to the bow, under the illumination of the spotlights, sure enough, this is a "Ya" shaped waterway fork, both sides look about the same size, can be passed, the feeling is that the two dark rivers converge here
Which way to go is a difficult question, both caves appear to have been formed naturally, with no signs of artificial excavation. Cha Wenbin looked at the two black holes, like a pair of deep eyes, which made him feel very uncomfortable, thought for a while, and decided to make a fortune here. Taking out the turtle shell, Cha Wenbin dipped a drop of water from the river, dripping directly above the turtle shell, and which way the water flowed meant which way it went.
"Tick" A drop of water fell from his finger and dotted on the turtle shell, Cha Wenbin looked at it with wide eyes, the water droplets actually went backwards, this is to ask them to go back! But there's no way back......
After trying again, the water droplets still walked back, looking at the fork in front of him, Cha Wenbin had a bad premonition.
said: "If we are really destined to come here, the left yin and the right yang, according to numerology, the left is the door of death, and the right side is the door of life." But there will be a living place in the death door on the left, and there will also be a death position in the life gate on the right, if we go to the left, we may encounter danger, if we break through, it will be fine; If we go to the right, as long as we don't break into that dead position, we should be able to get out smoothly, and from the hexagram, it seems that any road is dangerous, so you two can decide. ”
Chaozi and Zhuo Xiong said in unison: "We listen to you!"
"Okay, since the two brothers believe in me so much, then I choose to go to the left."
Chaozi pulled out the dagger in his hand and said: "Brother Wen Bin, then go to the left, I don't believe in evil yet, who wants to stop the master from going out today, people block and kill, Buddha blocks and kills Buddha, and defeat all cows, ghosts, snakes and gods!" ”
Zhuo Xiong also said: "Anyway, if you are trapped here, you will die, and it will be the same wherever you go." ”
Cha Wenbin looked at the cave on the right, he didn't know what his decision meant, for Chaozi, for Zhuo Xiong, and even for the comatose Lao Wang and Leng Yiran, if the left side was really dangerous, could he bear this responsibility? Doesn't it say that there is providence? I just don't listen to the will of God, there is a saying called putting death and then living, as long as our lives are hard enough, we can carry it!
Taking advantage of this gap, Cha Wenbin asked Chaozi to take out the trekking rope again, and tied the unconscious Lao Wang and Leng Yiran to the raft, in case of danger, he could also ensure that the two of them did not fall into the water. Now that the shotgun was out of ammunition, it was no different from a burning stick, and the two of them took off their daggers and tied them to the front of the barrel of the gun, and used them as bayonets, and ate some food to replenish their strength. The two unconscious people were injected with antibiotics and fed some dry food with water.
Cha Wenbin made a gesture to move forward, the raft slowly moved towards the cave on the left, Cha Wenbin looked back and saw that the fork was getting farther and farther away, his heart was no longer struggling, and he turned his head to stare ahead. As for what awaits them ahead? We'll talk about that in the next issue.
