Chapter 0050: Towering Ancient Trees
readx; "Mr. Gu, don't you think this staircase is weird?"
"What does Ouyang Rui's absence have to do with the stairs? Could it be that the stairs swallowed him? Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
The poisonous lady gave him a blank look, didn't bother to pay attention to him, and continued: "There are steps above this staircase, parallel to the stairs at the foot, only about three meters, and the entire staircase is actually four meters wide, according to common sense, it should be greater than the width." ā
"Architecturally, this is indeed abnormal, but what does this have to do with Brother Ouyang's disappearance? Is it really swallowed up by the stairs as Shadowless said? ā
Gu Cheng was also a little stupid, only knowing that the building was very strange.
"Perhaps, I know where Ouyang Rui has gone?"
The poisonous lady looked at the black stone wall and nodded silently.
"You mean the stone wall is a monster? How can it be? The stone wall has not changed at all. ā
Shadowless took over and said.
"I see, go, go up."
They pulled their hands and ran up again.
"Mr. Gu, poisonous lady, what do you know, tell me!"
"Poisonous lady, you walk in the middle with the pulse, and I am on both sides of the Shadowless Week."
"I still don't get it?"
Shadowless asked confusedly.
"The stone wall is black, and the torch can only illuminate a distance of about two meters, and we walk in the middle on both sides of the two meters, so even if there is a secret door or something in the stone wall, we can't see it at all, as for Brother Ouyang, I think he just deviated a little, so he unknowingly walked into the dark passage."
Gu Cheng explained to him, tied the veins in the arms of the poisonous lady, took out the rope, tied them to their hands, and pulled them down.
Gu Cheng touched the black stone wall, counted his steps seriously, and turned his head from time to time to see if there was no shadow.
Wuying also touched the stone wall, hoping to find the secret door from the stone wall and find Ouyang Rui.
After walking for a long time, Gu Cheng was sweating profusely, and snorted nervously: "Stop." ā
"Did you find a secret passage?"
Without a shadow, the poisonous lady quickly turned around and asked.
"We've walked more than 1,300 steps, and we've reached where we were."
I thought that I would be able to find Ouyang Rui in this way, but I didn't expect to be here again, and I still didn't see any secret passages, and I didn't see Ouyang Rui.
"Just such a staircase, where will Ouyang Rui go back?"
Wuying pounded the stone wall even more anxiously.
The stone wall is all black, if you don't touch it with your hands, you can't find it at all, at first Gu Cheng thought that there was a secret door in the stone wall, Ouyang Rui went off the rails, resulting in a dark passage, and now...
"The pulse must be woken up."
Gu Cheng walked over in a few big strides, holding his pulse and shouting.
After a long while, Maimai rubbed his sleepy eyes and hummed softly: "Ah... Dad..."
"Maimai, your uncle is gone, I want you to find him, okay?"
The pulse instantly understood, quickly turned his little head, looked at the poisonous lady, without a shadow, touched Gu Cheng's face, and hummed anxiously: "Ah... Uncle..."
"Mr. Gu, don't force the pulse, the pulse doesn't know."
The poisonous lady hugged the pulse and said softly.
In her mind, Gu Cheng is indeed amazing, she can sacrifice herself for others, and now she looks at him with a worried face, so she doesn't mention Ouyang Rui's matter.
"Ouyang Rui, is he a pig? Why is such a big person, he followed and got lost, and when I found him, I had to scold him. ā
"No shadow, don't say a word."
"But now I've searched three times and there's nothing, what should I do?"
The poisonous lady also knew that he was worried about Ouyang Rui's safety, so she closed her rosy lips and stopped arguing with him.
"Brother Ouyang, where have you been? There is only one staircase, if you pause for a while, you should be able to chase it down, and even if you go off the rails, we walk in the middle, you should be able to see the torches! How can you say that if you don't see it, you won't see it? ā
"Brother Ouyang?"
As soon as Gu Cheng looked up, he saw a figure in the near black rapidly moving downward.
"Ouyang Rui, where is Ouyang Rui?"
"It's in the dark, let's go down, quick, let's keep up."
Gu Cheng pulled the rope and quickly chased down.
They trotted, but chased for most of the day, but there was no one to be seen. And the torch has always only been able to illuminate about two meters, so Gu Cheng ran for a while, then stopped, and said: "Wuying, you go to the left and see if there is a dark passage, I will go to the right, and the poisonous lady will go to the middle." ā
Arranged like this, it is naturally much slower to walk, but in addition, Gu Cheng is really not sure that there will be dark passages and other intersections on the black stone wall.
"Mr. Gu, Ouyang Rui saw the torch, why did he still go into the darkness instead of waiting for us?"
"No shadow, I'm pulling the rope, you go two meters away and see if you can see behind."
"You mean that Ouyang Rui has his back to us, and his back is just within two meters, so you see him, and because he is two meters away, he didn't find a torch!"
"I'll try."
Shadowless lowered the torch and pulled the two-meter rope forward quickly.
"Mr. Gu, you guessed right, but when I call him, he should be able to hear it!"
As soon as Shadowless ran back, he said something and ran down.
"You didn't hear that?"
"It seems that at a distance of two meters, we not only can't see, but also can't hear, it's just Brother Ouyang, how did he walk in front of us? How do you put the torch again? Is he burned out of fire? But even if he walks on the edge of the stone wall, he should be able to see us! ā
"Mr. Gu, let's hurry up."
The poisonous lady hugged the pulse and said softly.
She didn't have the calm face she used to have, and although her voice was soft, it was much softer, as if she knew that she shouldn't continue to be cold to Gu Cheng at this time, and encouraged him.
"Mr. Gu, just find Ouyang Rui and ask, let's hurry up, otherwise Ouyang Rui will take all the fun treasures."
Although Wuying felt that Gu Cheng had nothing to do, he just had to ask clearly, and he had to break his head to figure it out for himself, but there was no trace of sarcasm, and he was afraid that he would find out what he thought and lead him with other words.
"Brother Ouyang's safety is important, let's go!"
Gu Cheng also knew that although he saw Ouyang Rui's back, not only did he not have a torch, but he might be in a hurry because he didn't find them, and run down quickly, and how dangerous it was below, who knows?
They pulled each other's ropes and quickly descended side by side.
In the darkness, only two meters of fire light in front and back of the fire, like a rectangle, went down quickly.
I don't know how long I walked, everyone felt hot all over, and their feet were a little bumpy, and they kept calling.
But they knew that they were in such a hurry to catch up, and they didn't find Ouyang Rui, so they can imagine how anxious he was, if something accidentally happened, what would it be.
"Mr. Gu, look, there's light ahead."
Shadowless was in a hurry, and kept looking ahead, and at this time he saw a glimmer of light in the darkness ahead, like the glimmer of light that broke through the clouds before dawn, and like the glimmer of light at the entrance of the cave in a dark cave.
"Quick."
Gu Cheng couldn't help but pull the rope and speed up his pace and rushed down.
As they trotted quickly, the darkness grew thinner and thinner, and the light grew stronger, and when they burst out of the last line of darkness, they were completely stunned by what they saw.
In front of a towering ancient tree, the leaves spread out into an umbrella-shaped, umbrella-shaped leaves are golden and shining, and the bright lines between the leaves, like lightning filaments, emit a strong light, illuminating the whole space.
The trunk of the tree is thick, ten meters wide, the tree year is rolled into a circle, the dazzling amber is dazzling during the circle of trees, linking countless lines, under the trunk is a circular staircase, the stairs are only ten or so inside, all are gold bricks, and the city is surrounded by a circle.
Ouyang Rui was not far from the ancient tree, staring at the ancient tree with his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
Wuying was stunned for a moment, then quickly uncovered the rope, ran up, and roared angrily: "Ouyang Rui, what's the matter with you, how difficult it is for us to find, you are good, you actually ran down secretly, do you know how hard we worked to find you, and the entire staircase has been walked dozens of times." ā
Ouyang Rui was startled, turned his head, and his face was full of grievances: "No shadow, I." ā
"What are you doing! Am I still wrong? ā
"Brother Ouyang, what's going on?"
Gu Cheng walked over with the poisonous lady and asked.
"Gu Cheng, I really didn't mean to, I don't know why I suddenly swooped here a few times?"
Wuying roared, feeling a lot more comfortable, and at this time, Gu Cheng walked in and asked, he walked away, looking at the golden ancient tree.
Gu Cheng, the poisonous lady, didn't want him to be like that, although he was curious, he was only stunned for a few seconds, looked at it a few times, and now focused on the question of how Ouyang Rui suddenly came here.
"Ouyang Rui, you have been walking behind us, why did you suddenly disappear? And we've been looking for you so many times, where did you get here? ā
The poisonous lady also asked incredulously.
Ouyang Rui looked at their hot eyes, and was stunned for a minute before he spoke, "I really don't know what's going on." ā
"Tell me about everything?"
Gu Cheng said even more puzzled.
"Originally, I have been following the poisonous lady, taking care of you, afraid that something will happen to you, who knew that I was tripped by the shoelaces, so I stopped and tied the shoelaces, I wanted to tie the shoelaces It didn't take much time, so I didn't call you, who knew that I tied the shoelaces, held the torch, and when I turned around, I found that it was dark within two meters around."
"At that time, I was alone in the light of only two meters, and I suddenly panicked, so I was ready to run down to catch up with you, who knew that I was careless, I actually slipped my foot, and I pounced down at once, and the bottom was as smooth as the surface of a loach, and I couldn't catch anything at all, so I swished, and I arrived here."
"When I got here, I fainted, and when I woke up, I found that I was the only one, and I quickly searched for it, and I searched for it several times, but I still didn't find you, so I wonder if you have gone down from the water."
"I was exactly going to look for you in the water when suddenly I jumped behind me without a shadow, and... It really scared the hell out of me. ā
"Oh, by the way, Gu Cheng, poisonous lady, where did you come from! How did you suddenly appear behind me? ā
After Ouyang Rui finished speaking, he stared at them curiously.
"We came out of the darkness, don't you see the darkness?"
Gu Cheng turned his head away as he said suspiciously.
