Chapter 37 The True Body of the Forbidden City
The moment Peanut said this, that terrifying killing intent instantly froze on his face. As the words fell, Peanut reached out and pulled the collar of my clothes back, and suddenly I felt that all my strength was gone, and the whole person was like a stone thrown in the air, and it crashed straight towards the cargo box of the truck.
Subconsciously I took a test, and then, the side of the face, shoulders, and thighs were in labor pain at the same time, and when I fell to the ground, blood gushed out of my mouth. I felt that all my internal organs were shaking violently, and my eyes were dizzy, only to see the peanut slowly walk in front of me again.
My brain is not broken, and I know that this peanut is cruel to me, and if he touches it again, I will be done with it. I put my hands on the ground and tried to move back. The peanut was not in a hurry at all, and followed me step by step, and the expression on his face had completely changed to a kind of indifference, as if I was already a dead man in his eyes.
I felt like I was dead, and for a moment I was about to lose even the desire to live. If it's a person who doesn't know Peanuts, it may not be like this, but I know too much what Peanuts can do, and if he wants to kill me, then where will I live?
Just as I was about to give up, the peanut in front of me stopped and slowly moved his gaze to the top of my head.
My back was almost touching the jeep, and I subconsciously looked up and found a man with long hair and a shawl standing on the roof of the jeep.
"Peanuts." I recognized it immediately, and there was a glimmer of hope in my heart to survive. But then I realized that the scene in front of me was so absurd. The two peanuts confronted each other motionlessly, and the strange aura was simply numb.
The aura on the two of them was terrifying, and for a few minutes, it was as if the surroundings were frozen. Only the rags swayed gently in the cold wind.
"Why didn't you kill him?" The man in front of me suddenly said.
The peanut above my head jumped slightly, landing between me and the man. Peanut looked back at me, then said to him thirty years ago, "I have a reason why I can't kill him." ”
"Impossible, he, Yuan Jie, must die." I don't know what is the reason for Lu Dao to make Peanut 30 years ago have such a persistent killing intention for me. When they entered West Kunlun, I was not yet born, and even my father should have been just a hairy boy at that time. If he is really the peanut of thirty years, or a reflection of peanut at that time. Then why will he know me?
There is not a single logical thing in front of me, and I am sure that in the Illusory Snow Forbidden City, we may have to put our so-called logic aside.
"You're right, but it's different. This person will not die for the time being. Peanut said calmly.
I think. Peanut's experience is unimaginable. Even if the person he is facing now is himself, he is still so calm and calm. As he spoke, Peanut took two steps forward and whispered something in his ear thirty years ago. Then, I saw the muscles on the man's face twitch slightly, just for a moment. Apathy has reverted.
Thirty years ago, Peanut began to look at me, and I thought it was strange because he had already looked at me carefully. Then, he sighed. The killing intent on his face dissipated. Suddenly, I noticed that his expression was almost exactly the same as Peanut's, and the two seemed to overlap completely.
"What's that for, I'm here?" He asked Peanut, asked himself thirty years from now.
Peanut looked around, "Time is a wonderful thing, perhaps, the Phantom Snow Forbidden City has the ability to devour time." ”
"So, am I just a false being? Why can I reach you? He asked again.
Peanut smiled slightly and shook his head, "Maybe, none of us exist, it's just a false shadow." ”
The man seemed to hear something from Peanut's answer, and his face changed slightly. "Have you given up yet?"
"Yes, I gave up, but the 'king' won't give up, and things will go on forever." Peanut said.
"Maybe we're all wrong." As he said this, the man looked at me again, "Why don't you let those people do what they want." ”
"So you are too." Peanut laughed.
The man also grinned slightly, "Because I'm you." ”
"That's not right." Peanut said as he reached out and pulled out a short knife, "A long time ago, we were no longer ourselves. ”
After saying this, Peanut raised and fell, and the self in front of him did not move at all, calmly watching the silver arc across his throat.
As I watched him fall to the ground, a lot of strange thoughts came to my mind.
The conversation they had just had was so ethereal that even the conversation itself was absurd. But now I understand something a little bit. Is this world as we know it really what we see with our eyes, hear with our ears, and smell with our noses? Could it be that you and I are just shadows of a certain period of time, and on the other side of time, maybe we are completely different. How did this consciousness of the so-called self, the so-called self, come about? Is it just the collective functioning of brain cells? Is a person's consciousness really brain waves under the influence of matter?
I don't know about it, but I don't think it's that simple.
In fact, our thinking is moving forward little by little over time, but if time itself is not what we know, then is the thinking that underpins all our cognition still true and correct?
Phantom Snow Forbidden City.
It suddenly occurred to me that there might be something very shocking hidden in this place. Maybe we will end up like the legend, and we may never get out.
Seeing that man fall, I said to Peanut in horror: "You, kill him like this?" ”
Peanut looked at himself on the ground, "There is nothing strange about it, the one who died must be him, because, I have more than thirty years of memories than him, and I, more useful." ”
I didn't like Peanut to talk about myself like this, and I wanted to ask something, but suddenly I saw a slight change in the corpse on the ground. Some black shadows began to pour out from all corners of the ground. All covered the corpse. It was like a churning black slime, and it quickly occurred to me that this was what had been rubbed under my feet before.
Peanut and I both cautiously took two steps back, but the things didn't seem to interest us, and they were all pouring around the corpse. Soon after, the corpse in front of him was completely engulfed in those things, and it looked unusually ugly.
Peanut was about to walk up to observe, when suddenly, a deafening horn sounded throughout the space. We turned our heads to look around. But there was no movement in sight. However, the sound of this trumpet is so real, as if it came from an ancient battlefield, and the blood of those who listen to it is surging, and at the same time it is extremely terrifying. I felt like a big swarm of things was coming towards us in the darkness on all sides.
But the wait was long. We didn't see any movement either. When I looked back, I found that the ground was empty. The corpse and the black stuff were gone.
The fat man also ran over at this time. "Damn. Where did the trumpet sound come from? "The fat man was still very alert, and when he was awakened by the sound of the horn, he found that Peanut and I were not there, so he immediately took all his equipment and came to us.
Now I didn't have time to explain to him what had just happened, and the three of us listened to the sound and looked around nervously.
Peanut pointed to the back of the convoy. "The sound is coming from that direction, let's go and see."
Then, we put on our gear, turned on our flashlights and ran forward. The sound of the horn continues. I felt like my eardrums couldn't stand it anymore, so I could only force myself to rush forward. After crossing the convoy, we walked into darkness, with fewer and fewer stone figures on the ground and a change in the stone slabs under our feet.
"You see how the stone slabs on the ground are all triangular?" The fat man said.
"Maybe the kingdom hidden here likes it." I couldn't help but think of the triangular corridor again.
Suddenly, the sound of the trumpet was gone. The eardrum was so irritated that it took me a few seconds to react. Peanut paused, as if to confirm direction.
At this moment, our feet are very open, there is no gravel all over the ground, and it seems that we have completely come out of the stone statue group.
"Would you like to take a look around here first?" The fat man said.
Based on the echoes around him, Peanut concluded that this place should not be particularly large. "Let's move forward first, otherwise we can easily lose our way."
"What are you afraid of, we have a compass?" The fat man said.
"Hmph, is the compass really useful here?" After Peanut finished speaking, we all fell silent. The fat man took out the compass and glanced at it, and put it back in his pocket stupidly.
"Alright, let's go quickly." After the fat man finished speaking, we continued to move forward.
The next road is a little slower, and when we enter another environment, we naturally have to be more vigilant. I don't know how long I walked on the road, but suddenly, I faintly heard a cry.
Peanut and the fat man heard it, too, and the sound was strange, like crying, mixed with words that seemed to be praying.
"Eh, it looks like a person." As he spoke, the fat man picked up the flashlight and shone it around. But as soon as he finished speaking, the crying stopped. Such a reaction reinforces our belief that the other person is a living person.
"Who?" The fat man shouted.
"Uh" Then, the man replied, but he didn't know what he was talking about, so he spat out two words and stopped again.
"It's too dark in here, he doesn't know what we're doing, so he doesn't dare show up." Peanut said.
The fat man thought about it, and then shouted again: "Don't hide, we are also alive, come out." ”
After waiting for a while, we heard a cry shouting, "Oh, is it Mr. Fat?" ”
When we heard this voice, we were all stunned. "Boss Sun!?" I shouted.
Before we could finish speaking, a dark shadow pounced on us. The fat man subconsciously raised his pistol and rightly pressed it against the head of the thing. Then we found out that it was Boss Sun, who was sloppy and didn't know what pit he had crawled out of.
Boss Sun was completely stupefied at this time. Staring at the fat man's pistol with big eyes, snot and tears fell down one by one.
"Damn, if you come out and shout, Lao Tzu will almost give you the Fa-rectification." The fat man then put the gun back.
Boss Sun screamed, crying and wanting to hug the fat man. Where would the fat man come to this with a man, and he stretched out his hand and pushed him away. Boss Sun didn't know why he was scared like this, so he turned his head and hugged me. Smell the stench on him. I almost didn't faint him.
"Okay, okay, okay." I quickly pushed him away, "What the hell is wrong with you?" By the way, aren't you with my father, what about my father and Qin Feng? ”
Boss Sun eased slightly, "Don't mention it, I, I don't know where to say this." Come with me and look ahead. ”
After finishing speaking, Boss Sun ran to the front without a head. We hurriedly followed. After walking for a while, I noticed that there was an open and straight place in front of me, as if it was an artificially built trench. When the flashlight shines past, you can't see the other side at all, and you can't see the bottom at all. This feels like the moat in front of the tomb of King Yoro. I don't know how many times it's terrifying.
"Damn, what did you call us over to see?" The fat man said impatiently.
"Do you have flares? Hit, hit and see it. Boss Sun said.
"Flares are there. But there's not much left. Is there anything you can't just tell us about? I said.
"Hey, there's no way to talk about it, don't be reluctant, let's take a look. Ahead, that thing up front is so scary. Boss Sun was so anxious that he stomped his feet.
There was no way, so the fat man had to load the flares again. Punched out of the sky.
The white light rose into the sky, extremely dazzling, and the surrounding range of several hundred meters was completely illuminated by this flare. The eyes looked ahead, for a moment. The fat man and I screamed at the same time, and stood there dumbfounded.
In front of this ditch stood a dense collection of tall attic pavilions, all of which were as red as the ones we saw outside. What we saw was a corner of a city, and in the depths where the flares could not be illuminated, tall houses continued to spread.
The buildings look like they don't have rules, but they actually stretch out in a stepped pattern, higher and higher as you go in. The attics are in a style I've never seen before, without the tiled beams of the old houses, as if everything was made of red stone.
It's spectacular! So beautiful!
Our first impression was actually like this, but when we came back to our senses, we realized that what Boss Sun said was right, the things in front of us were too terrifying. By any angle, the city is enough to overturn many, many things.
Phantom Snow Forbidden City, that is Phantom Snow Forbidden City.
At this moment, my heart is extremely excited, I don't have too many thoughts, just the sincere yearning of ordinary people looking at ancient miracles from afar. It was as if in an instant, my imagination became endless, and I felt like my past self was simply living in a cage. The fat man now wanted to put on his wings and fly towards that city. Yes, such an amazing city, in addition to the Seven Star Dragon Yuan, must hide more amazing wealth that we dare not think about and cannot count.
The great buildings of human history have been overshadowed in front of the Forbidden City, and once the things here are displayed before the eyes of the world, what a shock it will cause.
It wasn't until the flare was about to fall and extinguish that I realized that the trench in front of me was also surprisingly large, and next to us, a relatively small stone bridge led straight to the Phantom Snow Forbidden City.
Stop talking nonsense, go, run over there.
The fat man and I were like obsessed with everything at this time, forgetting everything, and just wanted to rush to the Phantom Snow Forbidden City and see everything there.
As soon as we tried to run to the stone bridge, the flare fell into the trench, and we didn't think anything was going to happen, but to any of us' surprise, the situation under the trench made us all stupid.
The flares landed on a pile of bulges and continued to burn, illuminating everything in the trench beneath our feet. The first thing that scared me was the wreckage of an airplane, and flares fell on the wings of that plane.
"Oh my God" The fat man grabbed his hair and almost fell to his knees. Even the peanut on the side couldn't help but show a shocked look, bent down, and looked inside carefully.
Underneath the trench is an impossible garbage heap. Debris of planes and vehicles can be seen almost everywhere, and we dare not think that there is still half of the wreckage of a cargo ship there. In addition to these things that shouldn't be here, there are even more staggering corpses inside, many of them wearing mountaineering down jackets, and some animal carcasses that we have never seen before. None of the corpses were decomposed, and some of them looked like they had just appeared.
We saw less than a tenth of the size of the trench, and we didn't dare to think about what lay down there.
"I can't get out."
For some reason, after reading these things, this depressed thought appeared in my mind again. I turned my head and looked at Boss Sun, who was still shivering there. "What happened to you, why are you the only one here?" I grabbed him by the collar, "Where's my dad?" What about Qin Feng? ”
Actually, I was afraid, I was afraid that Boss Sun would stretch out his hand to the trench and tell me that Daddy had fallen down.
Boss Sun stretched out his hand, but it was the stone bridge.
"They, they're all on that bridge, gone, gone." Boss Sun said squeaked.
"What? Gone? "I couldn't understand it for a while.
Boss Sun continued: "I walked behind the most Lu, and when I got on the bridge, I was fine, your father, Qin Feng, and Shui Ye were all in front, but I don't know what happened to Ludao, they, they suddenly disappeared from my eyes, how I looked, how to call, no one answered." ”
When he said this, Boss Sun looked extremely frightened. I can imagine what a horrible and desperate scene it would be to be in a place like this, where all my companions are gone, and I am left alone. (To be continued......)
