Chapter 165: Fear of the Dark River
"Are you sure you can cross the river and reach the Petrified Valley?" Ding Jun cautiously verified.
Xue Wan wandered on the water for a while, and pointed to a figure-eight gap on the shore on the right: "Look there, I went down from there, and just took a sip of water in my hand, and then plunged into it."
Ding Jun weighed the situation and quickly made a decision: "I'll go down and take a look, we have no way to retreat when we come here."
This sentence is easy to say, but jumping into the river requires the courage of Jingwei reclamation. It's just that all the clues have been cut off by this big river, and if you want to reach the place where the willows and flowers are bright, you must go through the tempering of the phoenix. This time, I had no choice, so I had to bite the bullet.
There were also swimming training sessions in Navy SEAL training, but the training environment was definitely not as harsh as it is now.
"You've really decided?" Xue Wan seemed to have expected it, "I can see that you are a person who will not give up until you achieve your goal." In this world, most people are submissive and submissive, but you are completely different and always try to challenge the higher difficulty. ”
Ding Jun smiled: "Do you know what zodiac sign I am?" Scorpio, a sign that is best at stealth, patience, and faith. Usually what the scorpion wants to do is to have a beginning and an end, and never give up halfway. This time, though, I'm really not sure. ”
He had never seen a strange place where "the river is in the sky, hanging but not falling, the valley is petrified, and everyone is half dead". If the encounter on the night of the snow had been made up, whoever went into the water would have been left with no bones and would have fallen victim to meaninglessness.
"You don't believe me?" Xue Wan asked by biting her lip.
Ding Jun exhaled softly: "Should I believe you?" Emotionally, I feel that every word you say is true, and you will not deliberately make it up to mislead me; Intellectually, I don't think there's a place in the world that you have to cross a body of water to get there. I'm caught between a rock and a hard place. Xuewan, can I ask you another question?"
Xue Wan nodded: "Just ask."
Ding Jun pondered for a few minutes before asking in a low voice, "What does that woman you see in the Valley of Petrification look like?" How long have you been together? Didn't she talk to you?"
Xue Wan replied solemnly: "We talked, but her face was covered by a veil, and I was too young to know how to read words and colors. Ding Jun, I swear to God, every word I said today is the most sincere, and not a word is made up nonsense. ”
Within Ding Jun's vision, the water is running wildly, and there is no time for peace.
The ancients said that one misstep turned into a thousand years of hatred. Maybe this step out is the end of his life, and he will say goodbye to this wonderful world completely. For as long as he can remember, he has never encountered such a difficult multiple-choice question. If you choose the wrong one, your life will be stopped. So, he took several deep breaths in a row, but never took the last step.
"Forget it, let's go back." Xue Wan whispered, "Actually, no one forced you to do that. ”
"yes." Ding Jun nodded, "No one forced me, I went all the way from Hong Kong to Tibet, from Tibet to Torin Temple, and then chased here." The circumstances of life are really strange, sometimes people chase things, sometimes things push people away. The former is okay to say, stop when you want, as for the latter, you can't stop at all. ”
He rubbed his hands together vigorously, his gaze patrolling from the right side of the river bank to the left, carefully choosing a place where he could settle down in one fell swoop. It's not a magic movie, there's a stand-in, there's high-tech computer-aided animation, and it's not a deliberately built makeshift set. He must be responsible for his own life, not desperate.
In the past, as a battle-hardened special forces, he could capture any small advantage on the ever-changing battlefield, from small to large, and continue to expand the advantage until he won a complete victory. This qiē relies on a keen sense of battle and meticulous planning.
Therefore, all military strategists throughout the ages have been convinced that victory in a battle depends on luck, and victory in a hundred battles depends on wisdom.
"Pull out the mountains and cover the world, and the times are not good. What can I do if I don't die, what can I do?" He suddenly remembered the "Song of the Fall" made by the overlord of Western Chu when he was at the end of his rope. Xiang Yu is the first fierce general in ancient and modern times, with a black horse under his crotch, a bully gun in his hand, vertical and horizontal, and no one can beat him. However, he didn't choose the opportunity to cross the river and escape and make a comeback, but chose to "see Jiangdong's father without shame" and killed himself.
"The one who kills Xiang Yu is the destiny of heaven, not the will of man. Just like today, I could have returned to Hong Kong from Torin Monastery to Hong Kong, or I could have left this cliff and dark river and chose another smooth and safe path in life. Today, I look at Xiang Yu in the past, sighing, puzzled; When future generations look at me today, will they not have the same incomprehension? Ding Jun, Ding Jun, is your choice completely correct? A wise man thinks a thousand times, there must be a mistake, you have made tens of thousands of right decisions and never missed, what about this time? Will it ......" Unconsciously, Ding Jun's forehead was already covered with cold sweat, and his clothes were soaked all over his body.
"Ding Jun, let's go back." Snow night urges for the second time.
In the middle of the rushing river, a huge whirlpool rolled steeply, about twenty paces in diameter, and the whirlpool at the core was hollow at least the size of a heavy truck, glowing with cold water. Not only that, but the whirlpool was moving at high speed, sweeping most of the river in an instant. Its devouring power is extremely strong, and wherever it goes, the flying waves immediately die down, and the turbulence is also cut by the curve, becoming scattered.
The drastic change of the underwater shape will produce such a whirlpool. If a person is sucked by it, under the action of huge torque, it will be torn to pieces, and there will be no recovery.
Xue Wan changed color, approached Ding Jun, and silently grabbed his arm.
The cold fragrance on her body slowly soaked into Ding Jun's nasal cavity, quietly invading his internal organs, and his whole body was drunk.
As a fashion capital, Hong Kong is known as the "Pearl of the Orient" by countries around the world, and any country's perfumes and fragrances will be transferred to Hong Kong for sale. Therefore, Ding Jun has seen tens of thousands of items with fragrance, but none of them can compare to the "cold fragrance" sent between the breaths of the snowy night.
"At this moment, my mind is also a little confused and blurred," Xue Wan sighed lightly.
The cold by the water was too strong, and the two naturally leaned against each other, warming each other with their body heat.
"How?" Ding Jun asked in a low voice.
He knew that he shouldn't be distracted at this moment, but with a fairy-like Xue Wan by his side, even a hard-hearted man would not be able to restrain his thoughts.
