Chapter Twenty-Four: The Ancient Temple Opposite

What I am facing now is nothing more than two choices, one is to wait for the gods here, give him these evil relics, and then go back myself. I don't know what the fate will be, but at least when I get back to the city, I'll be able to live a peaceful life for a while. Or, I followed the direction of the murderous relics and followed, but in fact, I felt that if I did, I would definitely not survive tonight. Because with these rocks alone, it would be impossible to find anything in this canyon. Even if I could see that somewhere in the canyon was my destination, I might not make it to it alive.

I was unwilling in my heart, but the risks ahead were indeed too great for me to take a step. At the same time, I thought of another thing, which was that Sue still had a lot of cash hidden behind my bookshelf, and if I went back and packed up the money and ran away, my life would be much better.

The feeling was so enticing at that moment that I chose the latter with little resistance. I'm a thief, and I'm not a noble person. It's a choice that suits my identity.

I didn't keep up, I loved to kill time and feel like I had nothing to do. Watching movies, smoking, and playing games every day, without having any contact with the outside world, makes me feel very down-to-earth. Torturing myself in such a hostile environment now doesn't appeal to me at all.

I continued to bake the fire, waiting for the gods to appear, from noon until dusk, and when I was bored, I gathered firewood, hoping to dry all the clothes on my body. The god didn't show up from beginning to end, and I had baked instant noodle cakes for dinner, and because there was no place to boil hot water, I just baked it hot and ate it.

At night, I was really sleepy, and I dozed off for a long time, and finally fell asleep completely by the campfire.

When it was dawn and I woke up from the cold, the god still hadn't appeared, and I suddenly realized if the god had given up halfway.

A person as cold as him may suddenly feel uncomfortable and leave directly. I'm still waiting for him here, I'm still a good person. I consoled myself so much.

I packed my parcel, ate something again, and without delaying for a moment, put out the campfire and started heading back. After walking about a dozen steps, I looked at the forest surrounded by the morning mist, and suddenly realized that I didn't know the way at all. All the way I came all the way up the slopes, all the energy was on keeping myself from sliding, where there was still time to remember the way.

It's always right to go up, go up. I thought to myself, so I started to climb, this time it was more difficult, to the sunrise, to look out over the canyon, and to see the location of the previous campfire. I didn't even climb 50 meters up.

This location and the sunrise fog lifted, and I noticed that something was wrong, because I didn't see the familiar mountain, but it was even more unfamiliar, indicating that I had entered this deeper area of the mountain.

I climbed a tree, and when I looked further, I saw that on the other side of the valley, there was a temple, hidden in the woods. Looking around, except for this location, the others are all large mountains from one to one, and the mountains here are not like the hills in the south, they are all very vicious, and when you look at it, you will break the idea of being able to climb over.

Because of my ability to be a thief, my eyesight was so good that I could see a bonfire flickering in the temple. It seems that someone is among them.

I wondered, but the mountain on the other side of the canyon meant that when I got there, I had to go down to the bottom of the valley and then climb up the mountain. I'm not a monkey, and my concubines can't do it at all.

If the Luo family is entrenched in this abandoned temple, what is their purpose?

I rarely have curiosity about other people's things, but now I am curious, because a group of people are resident in this kind of place, it is really strange, this is definitely not what Su said stupid, but "strange", judging from the skills and physical strength of the Luo family, they are trained like soldiers.

However, the things that Su said all the way, if you think about it carefully, many of them may not be the truth. This man lived alone in the middle of an old mansion, and then led me all the way into the mountains and forests, and many of his actions were strange. I didn't know if it was Gelsdermor syndrome before, but I didn't even suspect it, but now after being alone, I suddenly realized a lot of doubts and inconsistencies.

But it doesn't matter, 5,000 yuan is real, and the money hidden behind my bookcase is real.

I climbed down the tree and continued to find my way back, and soon it was evening again, and I found a relatively flat place and started a fire. After another night, I got up in the morning and continued to search, and when I still couldn't find my way at all in the evening, the fear in my heart rose to the greatest degree.

I realized that I was lost, and that the two-day trek had taken more time than it had taken us to come, and that if I had gone in the wrong direction, I might have gotten to a place where no one had ever reached in this canyon.

That night I had no intention of sleeping, but was anxious to follow in the footsteps of the time I had come, but made a torch and went back, and I had to go back to the campfire where I had first taken shelter from the rain, so that I would at least know that I would not be more than a day's way from the pass.

After walking back for three or four hours, I was dazed, tired and sleepy, and in the fog, I suddenly saw something hanging on a large tree in front of me.

I rubbed my eyes and leaned up with my torch, and I saw a figure in the shape of a man, hanging under the branches, with his head drooping. What the firelight could reach was a pair of legs that were completely frozen and hanging.

I realized in an instant that there was a dead man hanging from the branches of this tree. A frightened step back, almost sliding down the hill.

Steady, pretending to be courageous, I raised the torch and shone out this corpse, judging from the national costume on the body, it seems to be a native here, it has been dead for some days, in the cold environment, this corpse is gradually dehydrated, all the skin has turned black, and the face has shrunk like a skeleton. The mouth was wide open, and the neck had become a very unnatural shape because of the weight.

I don't dare to take a closer look, I also passed by here just now, this corpse is on my head, it feels terrible to think about, I don't know why he can't think about it in such a deep mountain, if there is anything to worry about, this is enough to go decisively. He didn't even give anyone else the opportunity to collect the body.

I was about to leave as soon as possible, when I suddenly saw someone carving a few lines of words on the tree where the corpse was hanging.

Is it a fateful poem? I read a lot of online novels, and the first thought in my mind was very nonsensical, so I went up and took a look at it and found that it was written.

"There's no escape, they've tricked me in, I can't find my way out, I know they've been watching me for fun, and I'm not going to let them get their way."
