Chapter 52: The Demonic Barrier
The time of the magic obstacle may be very short, a few seconds, a moment of stunned effort, others call you completely unheard, or it may be hours, days, months, or even a lifetime, in other words, it is a conscious sleepwalking process, during which there is a sense of touch, there is a sense, you can speak, you can walk, you can eat, and the rhythm of life is consistent, outsiders will only think you are very weird, sudden personality changes, strange behavior. But I didn't know that in an extremely blurry state, I actually became a walking corpse manipulated by nature.
I can't believe that this is the terrible outcome of the magic obstacles, and this possibility is the best explanation for the situation we are currently experiencing.
I told Junko about the idea, and Junko agreed, but he also raised his own questions.
"Twelve, according to what you said, there is indeed some truth, but why was Xiaobao's father able to get out of the whole body, is he different from us?"
"That's even more unlikely, didn't you listen to Dabao, he entered this bamboo forest because he was late for the market, unless he did something we didn't do, or we did something he didn't do." I disagree with Junko's words.
"I'm confused about what I didn't do," Junko scratched her scalp and asked casually, "What if he lied?" ”
"Lying? Are you saying that he didn't enter this bamboo forest at all? "I seem to have a worse premonition.
"Yes, at first we thought it was just a simple matter of picking osmanthus flowers, but he chose to deliberately conceal it, there must be a reason for it, maybe what he told Sù Dabao was also false." Junko affirmed.
Runzi didn't completely convince me, but reminded me, I sorted out what I had heard and encountered in the past two days, and made a bold assumption - there was another person behind Xiaobao's father who was manipulating Yiqiē, or that person was not a person at all. That's the conclusion I came to when I thought of the horrific figurations that Xiaobao saw.
Xiaobao's father told Dabao about picking osmanthus flowers (in fact, he was accidentally bumped into by Dabao), which mentioned this black bamboo forest, if he lied, there was no need to explicitly mention a place that could be reached at any time, wasn't he afraid that Dabao would go to encounter danger by himself, and he passed through the back mountain three times and twice and met Mazi's grandfather, and also said the same thing, obviously in his opinion, the danger can be completely avoided, taking a step back, he did encounter danger for the first time, and it is definitely not a coincidence that he can turn danger into a disaster, but to be rescued.
The reason why I have this idea is because of Grandpa Mazi's words - to teach him how to live forever, obviously how can he do it on his own, but at the same time it also proves that his appearance is more and more similar to Xiaobao - he is getting younger and younger, so he must have done this, and there must be a master behind him, so he concealed this matter, and it is very likely that the master warned him to keep it a secret. But why did he sue Grandpa Sù Mazi, I can only guess that he said that he leaked his mouth.
The most suspicious thing is that it did not appear again after that time, and those loess became the key, perhaps with loess he did not have to go all the way to the back mountain to go home, but found a shortcut directly into this black bamboo forest, or into the laurel forest.
From what Xiaobao saw, I learned that Xiaobao's father was in danger, but there was only one explanation for why the master didn't save him. This qiē is all an arrangement that this so-called master has already planned, and it is also possible that he was murdered because he said that he leaked his mouth, in order to achieve an ulterior conspiracy: first take osmanthus as sweetness, and then use immortality as bait, and finally aim to kill people, but what can you get. If I'm right, then everything can be explained. But why choose Xiaobao's father, is it just a random choice, and it can't be concluded at this time. It seems that since the first day Runzi brought Dabao to my house, we have entered a big puzzle, but we have not been able to break through the puzzle, and we are getting deeper and deeper, and even the black bamboo forest we are facing is helpless. No matter what happened to Xiaobao and his father, this is a later story, and the most important thing now is whether we can get out of here safely, and we must save ourselves first to save others. Junko and I wandered around blindly for more than half an hour, but we were still at a loss, and our mood became more and more irritable. Runzi punched a thick bamboo joint, shaking the whole bamboo violently, "rustling" fell a lot of bamboo leaves, falling on the head and body, and at the same time a ray of sunlight refracted down, making our eyes that have been accustomed to darkness feel slightly uncomfortable. I hurriedly stopped Junko and said, "You just stop, you need to calm down and think about it now." "Still trying to figure it out, when is it, it's cloudy and stuffy here, I'm almost suffocating, what's wrong with letting me vent?" Junko said angrily. I know Runzi's temper, if I don't let him vent well, he will really hold back his illness, so I will follow him. I broke a bamboo branch and scratched it on the ground, shining one or two points of light...... Running around, running everywhere I poked, I felt like a bored cat chasing the game, there was no more boring person than me, I finally understood the meaning of the idiom "it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice". As the minutes ticked by, we were drowned in this black sea of bamboo, unable to extricate ourselves, overestimated abilities and unscrupulous impulses made us pay the price, and I wanted to become a pangolin and burrow into the eighteenth layer of hell right now. Looking at the dense bamboo in front of me, my heart is hot, since I can't go to the ground, what about the heavens, I think of the game I played with my playmates - climbing trees. "Runko, I've got a way." I secretly rejoiced that a dead horse was a live horse doctor, and now I have no other choice but to gamble. After breaking the silence, Runko held the bamboo knots in her hands, blushed, and looked at me with a solemn face, without saying a word, and many bamboos around her had been uprooted by him. I continued: "The way to break through the magic barrier is not only to enter the ground, but also to go to the sky, and I think if we climb up, we should be able to see the situation outside, so that we can find the target and find the path. Runko said, "It's simple, but the surface of this bamboo is so smooth and not strong, I'm afraid I'll be crushed by my weight before I reach the top." "It is true that trees have branches, the surface is rough and easy to climb, but the branches of bamboo are thin and cannot be borrowed, and the surface is smooth, and there are bamboo joints, which may tear your clothes and pants and scratch your skin if you are not careful." By the way, we can go back to the place where the road is closed, where the bamboo is tighter and should be easy to climb. Junko nodded in agreement.
After a while, we came to the bamboo wall again. The bamboos are neatly arranged, towering and thicker than other bamboos.
