Chapter 5: Breaking into the Forbidden Land

When I got out of the prison door, I saw that the square was brightly lit, as if it were day. Zhang Yu and I waved our hands, gestured to the others, and then walked to the side, our eyes swept to the monkey that was drifting away from time to time.

At this moment, there was a bell ringing from the high platform directly in front of the square. At a glance, I saw an old man in a big robe standing on a high platform, holding a wooden staff, kneeling down in front of a bronze colossus, and praying silently. The people fell to their knees and fell to the ground.

When Zhang Yu and I saw this, we also learned to kneel. There was a gurgling sound in my ears, like a language unique to some place, and I didn't understand it. I also felt a little anxious, afraid that others would recognize us, and turned my head to find that others didn't even look at me and Zhang Yu, and only cared about sincere prayers.

After about ten minutes, the monkey stood in the distance and waved at us, with three backpacks hanging from it, two of which were Zhang Yu and mine. Zhang Yu and I were just about to leave, just as the prayer was over, everyone began to stand up.

A dazzling fire burst out from the high platform in front of him, and the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became cheerful and passionate.

I hurried through the crowd and hurried towards the monkey, fearing that something would happen. When I was halfway through, I realized that Zhang Yu was not following behind, and when I looked inside, I saw that Zhang Yu was surrounded by four or five men, and there were still people watching the play outside. I hurriedly squeezed forward, and after a closer look, I saw four or five men holding white belts to hang around Zhang Yu's neck. I was immediately stunned, it is recorded in historical records that if a man of a certain tribe has a good impression of a woman, he will put a white belt around the man's neck, and if the woman acquiesces, it means that he accepts the man.

This Zhang Yu has fair skin, which is in stark contrast to the dark skin of the people around him, coupled with his delicate face, it is not surprising that people are mistaken for a woman. I stood aside and snickered, just as Zhang Yu swept me, and his eyes signaled me to come over and help.

I squeezed in front of me, and at this moment, Zagai came over with a group of people, and said with a hearty smile: "What girl from another family has such a great charm to attract so many people in the village."

I thought to myself that it was broken, Zhang Yu first picked up the crowd, pulled me and ran to the side, Zagai saw that it was us, his face changed greatly, and shouted: "It's them!" Chase after you".

There was a whistling wind in our ears, and four or five hundred people were following us closely, and if we were to be chased, we would either be killed or wounded. I shouted at Zhang Yu and motioned to let go of my hand.

Who knew that as soon as Zhang Yu let go, the whole person ran forward like an arrow, and immediately left me behind, and I suddenly felt bitter in my heart, how to say that I was also one of the best in high school track and field.

Zhang Yu waved his hand at the monkey and motioned for the village to assemble. Zhang Yu and I ran to the other side, and gradually, we were surprised to find that the people who followed behind suddenly stopped, and by the color of the moonlight, the word "forbidden land" was suddenly engraved on the stone wall in front of us.

Zhang Yu and I glanced at each other, and we couldn't go out for a while, so we could only go in and find another way out, and the high priest who followed closely behind immediately shouted: "You can't go in, this is the holy place of my clan, and if you go in, you will be expelled from the clan."

Thinking it was a big deal, Zhang Yu walked in first, and I followed closely behind.

The corridor is not as dark as expected, and the candles on both sides are very bright. We exchanged glances, trespassed on the forbidden land of other people, and went out so that no one could tear them apart.

It didn't take long for the promenade, which was less than 100 meters away, to be completed. Then a large wooden door appeared in front of me, although the wooden door looked old, but it was very well kept.

Bang.

The two of us entered the wooden door one after the other, and saw that there seemed to be a large sacrificial place in front of us. The surrounding area was empty, and the only thing that caught the eye was the wooden tower hanging in the air in mid-air in front of you.

It is said that it is a wooden tower, but it is not. The whole design of the wooden tower is very strange, the bottom of the tower is nearly 100 meters from the ground, and the whole tower body is black. There are two stone platforms next to the wooden tower, and the bottom of the stone platform is leaning against the bottom of the tower.

I looked up and saw a big hole that seemed to be the entrance at the top of the tower, and I suddenly sighed in my heart, how good it would be if this wooden tower were a wooden ladder.

Zhang Yu circled around, probably trying to find some clues, and then kept staring at the wooden tower hanging in mid-air, and let out a low sound from time to time.

I sat on the sidelines, looking at the towering wooden tower, and wondered, those people were full of food, and there was a wooden tower hanging on the wall, and the project was huge, so how could they get to the entrance to the spire!

I couldn't figure it out, maybe this was the custom of those people in ancient times, and it was not strange along the way.

Zhang Yu seemed to think of something, his eyes flashed, and he said to me: "Xiao Ke, I still remember what the head teacher said in the first semester of the third year."

I thought Zhang Yu had made a big discovery, and my eyes rolled, "Lao Ban said so many words, how can I remember which sentence he said."

Zhang Yu didn't pay attention to my reaction at all, and said to himself: "You can't easily trust your eyes, sometimes, it will betray itself."

I was slightly stunned, stood up, looked at the wooden tower with both eyes, stared closely, as if I felt something, and then looked at Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu's expression was very indifferent, and then said: "Do you know the illusion of vigor", I immediately shook my head when I heard it.

According to Zhang Yu, this so-called wooden tower is actually an interconnected ladder, which gives the eyes the illusion of vigor due to the distance. Assuming that the length of the cross frame in the middle of the ladder is l, the second cross frame we see with the naked eye, that is, the second tower body s of the wooden tower, due to the illusion of vigor, mistakenly let us think that l > s, and so on, the longer the horizontal frame looks shorter, that is, the tower body is getting smaller and smaller, and it becomes what we see.

The original wooden tower skeleton is a wooden ladder, as long as a flippable wooden board is added between L and S, that is, it is painted gray on the appearance, which is easy to give visual errors.

Hearing Zhang Yu's inference, I glanced at Zhang Yu, thinking that I was thinking so much, and hurriedly waved my hand and motioned for us to leave.

Then the two of us went up along the stone platform on both sides, and when we reached the stone platform, I fixed my eyes and saw that the so-called wooden tower was indeed as Zhang Yu said, and its essence was a wooden ladder. The gap between the two frames is visible from above.

Zhang Yu's eyes motioned for me to jump up first, I looked at my feet, and my head suddenly felt dizzy, "I've been afraid of heights since I was a child!" ”。 Zhang Yu suddenly gave me a blank look, jumped up, and grabbed the wooden ladder with both hands.

They're inside! Can't let them run!

There was a piercing shout from outside the cave, "Jump, I'll hold you steady."

The voice was getting closer and closer, I gritted my teeth, exhaled, and jumped towards the wooden ladder, Zhang Yu hurriedly grabbed my shoulders and stabilized my body, "They're chasing, get out of here" I nodded and followed.
