Chapter Ninety-Seven: Wenmo with an uncertain life and death
Surprised, I picked up the stone on the ground and shone it with a flashlight, and there were indeed some fresh signs of wear on it.
Apparently, someone had just made a few cuts on something with this stone. I immediately began to look along the edge of the river, and sure enough, not far from the place where I found the stones, in an inconspicuous place on the side of the river, I found a strange symbol that looked like a small turtle.
In the middle of this symbol is a circle with several small dots engraved around it. I can't help but wonder, what does this symbol mean?
Kong Xue and Shi Tao came over and asked me if I had found anything.
I showed them the stone and pointed out the strange symbol.
I said to them, "This is a deliberate mark, there is no one else around here except us, and this symbol is very new, obviously it has just been carved not long ago, so this sign must have been left by the second uncle." "Since the second uncle still has the time and strength to leave a mark, it means that although the second uncle has injuries on his body, he should be okay for the time being, which makes me breathe a long sigh of relief.
Kong Xue looked at the symbol on the side of the river, "It seems that the second uncle left this symbol just to let us take this road." ”
Shi Tao frowned, "I don't understand one thing, if Zhuo Lao left a symbol to guide us in the direction, it was completely simple to draw an arrow, why did it make it so complicated to draw such a symbol?" ”
"This ......" Shi Tao raised is indeed a question, if the second uncle just wants to tell us a direction, there is really no need to do this, is the second uncle trying to express a certain meaning?
There is another point that I have never figured out, that is, the location of the symbol left by the second uncle, which is too secretive, if I hadn't fallen and accidentally found the stone that was used as a pen, we wouldn't have found that symbol at all.
As an authentic professional, the second uncle is unlikely to make such a mistake after many years of inverted circles. But if the second uncle did it on purpose, then what did he do it for?
I can probably think of a possibility, that is, this symbol is not for others to see, but for the second uncle to show himself, and there is a certain meaning hidden in the symbol, so that he can understand it by himself. But why did the second uncle leave this kind of information for himself, did he still want to come in a second time?
For a while, we didn't have any clue about the speculation of this symbol. I waved my hand, "Anyway, since the second uncle entered from here, then let's go from here too, and just ask him to understand after finding him!" ”
So, we followed the river and continued to move forward. In fact, we still ignored an important possibility at that time, and it wasn't until I thought about it later that I understood, in fact, the symbol left by the second uncle at that time was neither for myself nor for me to see......
I think that the second uncle was able to leave a sign here and leave smoothly, indicating that this place should be safe, so we decided to wait for Wenmo here.
We drank some water, ate some food, and sat on the floor to rest and replenish our strength.
I looked at the darkness behind me, and eagerly hoped that the flashlight would appear soon, but it backfired, not only did we not look forward to Wenmo's flashlight, but in the hazy darkness, a few green lights lit up.
"It's the spirits that have returned!" We immediately hid in a hidden place on the edge of the stone wall, but at this time my heart was very heavy, those ghosts came back safely, does it mean that Wenmo has ......
I quickly shook my head and said in my heart, no, absolutely not! The dumplings that can kill Wenmo are still dead!
We lay in that corner, staring at the line of ghosts, and my heart almost rose to my throat, for fear that there would be another person behind the line of ghosts!
Gradually, the team of spirits got closer and closer to us, and we didn't dare to make a sound, holding our breath, and staring intently at the back of the team.
Thankfully, there wasn't anyone at the back of the line, which reassured us a bit. But where's Wenmo?
We watched as the group of spirits came to a fork in the road, but they only paused for a moment and walked towards the river where the female corpse was. I was suddenly glad that we had chosen the route, and now the river was split in two, so the distance between the rivers was much narrower. If we had chosen that path just now, we would most likely have had a narrow encounter with that ghost team, and at that time, I'm afraid that no matter who is brave, it will not be us who will win anyway!
The team of ghosts passed by the female corpse, and with a flicker of green light, the female corpse stood up and walked forward behind the ghost.
Watching those green lights gradually move away, we dared to breathe a sigh of relief. We were just about to come out of our hiding place on the stone wall when we heard the sound of something hitting the stone slab again. We hurriedly retracted our bodies again.
We didn't have that green light, and the river ahead was pitch black, and I didn't dare turn on the flashlight for fear that I would reveal my location and cause danger.
As the "clicking" sound got closer and closer, we felt a chill, as if a huge block of ice was approaching us.
Gradually, the voice came to the front of us, and suddenly, the voice stopped. I was nervous, we couldn't see anything, we didn't know what it was going to do!
Soon, something happened that frightened us a little, and instead of moving forward, the voice turned to our position and leaned in.
For a moment, we all froze in place, not daring to move, and even the sound of our breathing was desperately suppressed.
My instinct told me that the thing that was leaning over should be very large, because as it moved, I suddenly felt the air rushing in my face, and it was oppressive. I could even feel the thing very close to me, as I felt a chill hit my face.
My heart was beating in a straight line, and I slowly clutched my hands over my chest, afraid that the sound of my heartbeat would draw attention to the thing.
After a few minutes, the chill in front of my face disappeared with another gust of air, and then the "click" sound faded away.
When the voice disappeared in the distance, I fell to the ground, and in a few moments, my back was soaked with cold sweat.
I carefully turned on the flashlight, and when the flashlight came on, we were stunned by what we saw.
I saw that on the ground in front of me, on the stone wall, I don't know when a layer of hoarfrost was hung. We couldn't believe what was happening, and I couldn't help but wonder, what had happened to us. A big walking refrigerator?
The hoarfrost on the ground and on the stone walls was thin and soon began to dissipate, and I raised my flashlight and walked along the condensed hoarfrost. It was found that the hoarfrost spread from the fork in the river to the direction where the female corpse was just now.
I knew that the thing was gone, that there should be no danger here, and that something like this had happened made me desperate to know where the road leads. So I boldly followed the hoarfrost in the river. Kong Xue and Shi also followed closely.
At this time, the fog in the river has begun to dissipate, but it dissipates in a strange way, these fogs do not gradually fade, but like a low tide, rushing towards the end of the river, the sound of flowing water resounds, if we close our eyes, it is as if we are in a rushing river.
The mist flowed quickly around us, towards the end of the river. This is simply a breathtaking spectacle, the thick fog surged and disappeared at the end of the river, and soon the river that was still foggy just now has become extremely clear at this time, the flashlight shines through, the visibility is much better, and even the surrounding darkness has become a lot more pure!
Some of the hoarfrost that has not yet had time to dissipate is faintly visible. This series of scene changes makes people feel very dreamy, and we are in it, and we deeply experience this wonderful feeling.
Without the fog, the flashlight can fully exert its abilities. At this time, I noticed that the river under our feet seemed to be coming to an end, because a stone wall appeared in front of us, and on top of the stone wall, there seemed to be something.
I couldn't see what it was because it was still some distance. I can only roughly see that it has a pair of wings, and there are two red light dots in the middle of the wings, which seem to be two eyes!
I pointed out to Shi Tao and Kong Xue next to me a little nervously, "What do you think is that?" ”
They frowned and looked at it carefully, and then they all shook their heads blankly. We walked cautiously forward for a while, and only then did I understand that it was like a carving carved into the stone wall, and I breathed a sigh of relief, and I planned to walk over to see it.
But I just took two steps, my feet suddenly empty, my body was crooked, fortunately walking next to me Shi Tao reacted fast enough, a pull me back, we looked down, and suddenly all of us were scared into a cold sweat.
Our attention just now was all attracted by the carving on the stone wall in front of us, and we didn't notice at all that under our feet, there was a deep cliff-like hole four or five meters away from the stone wall carved in the river.
This hole is dark and gloomy, and there is no bottom in sight. Shi Tao took out a glow stick from his bag, lit it up and threw it into the hole, and the glow stick gradually turned into a small green dot of light until it was completely engulfed by the darkness below. The depth of this hole is staggering, and the faces of several of us changed when we saw this scene.
