Chapter 209: Regression to square one
I shivered all over, like I was naked in the snow and ice, cold and cold from the inside out, from my scalp to my toes.
My eyes widened, I grabbed Lao Dao's shoulder, and asked, "Lao Dao, what did you see in your dream?!" ”
Lao Dao was stunned for a while, then suddenly shook off my hand and said loudly: "Don't ask!" None of this can be true! We must have fallen into some powerful formation! ”
I said, "Could it be an illusion?" ”
Lao Dao exhaled deeply, forced himself to suppress his emotions, and quickly calmed down. He shook his head and said, "If you don't want it, it's an illusion, and I can feel it." ”
An Gui didn't have the self-control of Lao Dao, he was close to collapse, and said in despair: "Then what should we do now? We're not going to be trapped here, are we? ”
The old man, who had calmed down, became expressionless again, he did not answer An Gui's question immediately, but racked his brains to think, and said to himself: "What kind of person can make me fall asleep unconsciously while meditating, and bring me into such a dream?" Why does the current experience coincide with the dream? If things really turn out the way they appear in our dreams, will our results be the same as they appear in our dreams? ……”
Lao Dao said a lot of things in a row, and he spoke very quickly, like a madman talking to himself.
Then his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "Let's go back to the hut!" ”
I immediately wondered, and said, "Isn't that hut right in front, how can I go back?" ”
The old Tao said: "How we came here, we can go back, go back the way we came, and go backwards!" ”
An Gui and I were both puzzled, but Lao Dao had already begun to do it, slowly regressing step by step. He added, "Don't look back. ”
We felt inexplicable, but we did it anyway, and followed the old way all the way back.
Lao Dao was counting in his mouth, as if he was counting the pace, and soon, we turned a corner, and then kept going backwards, and I don't know how many steps back.
At this time, Lao Dao suddenly said: "Stop! ”
An Gui and I were still completely confused, but we still stopped.
An Gui asked, "Brother Dao, what are we going to do here?" ”
The old man didn't know how to be noble, he only said to himself: "If my guess is correct, now when we turn around, what we see is still the hut!" ”
As he spoke, he turned around.
An Gui and I also turned around.
When I looked up, I was immediately shocked, and sure enough, it was really the hut!
It's just that at this time, there is already a crow standing on top of the hut!
The crow suddenly snorted a few times, flew away, and crowed twice in the sky!
It's like stepping back in time.
I was even more puzzled, but Lao Tao looked happy and said, "It seems that we have been saved!" ”
I was really puzzled, so I asked again, "Old Dao, what the hell is going on?" ”
But Lao Tao said, "Now is not the time to ask this question. He looked at the sky to make sure that the crow had completely disappeared, and then said, "We are now going backwards, as we did just now, and we cannot turn back." ”
An Gui and I were both confused by him, but the current situation is not a joke, so we are still obedient and do what the old way says.
Soon, we went backwards to a corner, and after that, we kept going backwards, and the old man counted silently, and when he reached a certain number, he told us to stop, and then turned around.
"As I thought, it's still the hut!"
We also turned around, but when we saw the hut, we were not at all happy.
"Why is it still this hut, Brother Dao, your method doesn't seem to work, we didn't go out at all!" An Gui said in a trembling voice.
But Lao Dao disagreed, and said, "We will be able to get out soon, look at the roof!" ”
There was a crow standing on the roof, and when the crow saw us, it fluttered a few times, flew away, and made a few more "wow-wow" calls.
I seem to understand something, but I'm still not sure.
I said, "Old Dao, we are going backwards now, is it equivalent to going backwards in the timeline?" ”
Lao Dao looked happy and said, "That's pretty much it." ”
An Gui exclaimed: "That is to say, go back in time? ”
Lao Dao shook his head and said: "It's not going back in time, we're just stuck in a powerful Dao method, the space and time in it are distorted, we can only find the exit by going back to the original point, if we can't go back to the original point, everything here, no matter how we go and how we resist, will continue to develop according to what I dreamed about before." ”
We may sound a little confused, but now that we have hope of getting out of this broken garden, we don't have to worry about this esoteric abyss.
I now care about what kind of dream Lao Dao had, and why this dream made him so flustered.
So I asked, "Old Dao, now you can tell us what you dreamed about just now, right?" ”
Lao Dao was stunned for a moment, as if he was weighing something in his heart, and after a while, he said: "I think we should go backwards first, we have walked four times before, and now we only need to go backwards two more times, we can find the exit in that room, and when we find the exit, I will tell you what dream I had." If I'm not mistaken, when we go back to the last time, we will look back at the hut and there will be no crows on the roof, and no crows flying in the air. ”
An Gui and I nodded, after all, we are more concerned about our lives than satisfying our curiosity.
Staying in this strange place for a few more moments will make people feel that life hangs on the tightrope for one more moment, and at any time, they will fall from the tightrope into the abyss, and in the end there will be no scum left.
We started going backwards again, one corner, and then the straights. As he had done on the previous two occasions, he turned around and saw the hut and the crow.
Soon, the two regressions were over.
At this point we all stopped, ready to turn around.
Lao Dao took a deep breath and slowly turned around.
An Gui and I also slowly turned around.
It's still the hut, but the scene in front of us at this time can't help but make us happy.
There are really no crows on the roof!
Lao Dao exhaled deeply, showed a smug smile, and said, "Sure enough. ”
I'm glad too, though I don't understand it, but it looks like we'll be able to get out of this broken garden soon.
At this time, I asked, "Old Dao, can you say what you dreamed of in your dreams now?" ”
Only then did Lao Dao move his mouth and said, "I dreamed that we all died in this garden, and we died of despair. ”
When I heard this, I was immediately stunned for a moment, and then I understood why Lao Dao didn't tell us just now, because we were all close to despair just now, and if we heard such words again, then we would definitely be even more desperate, maybe we would be in a mess, and we would really be trapped and die in this garden.
An Gui exhaled deeply and said, "Mom, I'm dying of thirst, I'll go out later, I'm going to buy the most expensive bottle of mineral water to drink!" ”
I laughed and said, "It's not tasteless water, what's the difference?" ”
At this time, Lao Dao was suddenly stunned, and almost shouted: "No, these conversations of yours have also appeared in my dreams!" ”
I was stunned, my eyes widened, and I said, "In other words, we haven't gotten rid of that formation yet?" ……”
Lao Dao said in a daze: "It turns out that everything is still developing like in a dream......"
Before Lao Dao's words fell, a cry of "wow" suddenly came from the air.
A crow fluttered and landed on the roof of the hut in front of it......
