Chapter 5: The Labyrinth
A sense of foreboding began to creep up in their hearts. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThey're pretty sure that's the fork in the road where they broke up.
Chen Jiu, where did they go? Could there be any accidents? These questions began to appear in the hearts of the two people.
"It looks like it's the fork in the road. But there was no fork in the road this way, and I didn't see Chen Jiu and them. Ikebana said.
"Maybe something happened to them. Let's take a trip from Chen Jiu and their way. Chu Xiaojiu proposed.
"Well, there's no better way to do it now. The flower path people agreed.
The two men came to the fork in the road again with torches, and suddenly saw a flash of fire on the road they had just entered.
"Somebody's coming. The ikebana man whispered as he snuffed out the torch.
"Hmm!" Chu Xiaojiu responded, and quickly extinguished the torch.
The two of them crouched in the shadows of the corridor, ready to see who was coming. At this time, a very familiar voice like an old eagle came.
"Ninth Master, can there really be so many treasures here? Why can't you finish the Yongdao here?" Ergouzi's familiar and characteristic voice came from the Yongdao.
The two of them were relieved when they heard Ergouzi's voice. Although I didn't know what was going on for a while, I at least knew that a few other people had no accident.
"Is that Chen Jiu in front?" Ikebana asked loudly, trying to get Chen Jiu's attention.
"Yes, why are you all here?" Chen Jiu asked with some confusion.
"You'll find out if you come over and take a look. After the flower path man finished speaking, he stood at the fork in the road and waited for Chen Jiu and them to come over.
Chen Jiu and the others walked quickly to the front of the flower path people, holding torches and looking at the fork in the road.
"This can't be the fork in the road we broke up just now, right?" Chen Jiu asked even more suspiciously.
"That's the fork in the road. Chu Xiaojiu replied affirmatively.
"What do you mean? Damn, we're coming back in a circle?" Ergouzi shouted loudly.
"Are you sure?" asked Chen Jiu.
"We've gone back from the corridor we came to check just now, and the traces of our meal are still there. Chu Xiaojiu replied.
"Have you taken a closer look? This is where we broke up?" Ergouzi couldn't accept this reality and asked loudly.
"This must be the fork in the road for us to break up, and you kid has a pee over there!" replied the Ikebana man.
"I don't believe it. After Ergouzi threw down these words, he picked up the torch and ran towards the road where he came.
"What's going on? It's such a short road, and there's a ghost?" Chen Jiu muttered casually.
"Ninth Master, do you think it will really be a ghost hitting the wall?" Lu Qiang asked Chen Jiu.
"How can there be any ghosts hitting the wall, Lao Tzu has stolen so many tombs, and I have never seen ghosts, but I have seen a few zongzi. Chen Jiu said disdainfully.
"Chen Jiu, don't believe in evil, anything can happen in this tomb. The ikebana man joked.
"Then tell me what's going on?" Chen Jiu asked the flower path man.
"I think it's possible that a ghost is hitting the wall. This ghost is a kind of grudge, and it usually requires a specific terrain or a very strong grudge to continue. Ghosts can't actually hurt people, but they can make you hallucinate a lot. Feel the cold, smell the stench, see the horror of the scene. However, there are no ghosts in the tomb in general, because the people in the tomb will ascend to heaven, and the tomb itself will not be cultivated to a terrain that can gather and produce the yin energy of ghosts. Ikebana explained.
"Then Dao Ye, do you mean there are ghosts or not?" Lu Qiang asked puzzled.
"If it were an ancient tomb, there would be no ghosts, but if it weren't for the ancient tomb, it would probably create a ghost prisoner. to confuse those who come in. What do you say? "The flower path people are determined to set Chen Jiu's words.
"Yes, I think this ghost is not only on the outside, but also in the hearts of people. Chen Jiu replied without yin or yang.
At this time, Ergouzi came back with his head hanging and holding a torch, and threw down the sentence "Damn, the evil door is evil." ”
"I see that we are walking again, this time we are all going in the opposite direction from just now, and we are carefully paying attention to the structure of this corridor. Chu Xiaojiu proposed.
"Okay! It seems that Brother Chu still has a brain. Don't talk nonsense. Chen Jiu agreed.
So the people went to the opposite side of the road according to the group they had just had.
Chu Xiaojiu and the flower path people walked for another quarter of an hour or so, and the Yongdao became twisted again.
"Brother Dao, it's become like this again. I think this is the way it was cultivated, probably to deliberately disturb people's direction. Chu Xiaojiu said.
"Makes sense, I'll take out the compass and take a look. The Ikebana man took out the compass from the Qiankun bag. While carefully shining the compass with a torch, he walked slowly forward.
"It's weird! No matter how you turn this road, it's a good place, and the compass doesn't seem to be useful here."
"What do you mean? Could it really be that the ghost hit the wall as you said?"
"Ha, I just said that just to test Chen Jiu, how can there be any ghost hitting the wall. ”
"I don't think Chen Jiu's reaction just now is not like what he has come down to. Could it be that we were too concerned at first?" Chu Xiaojiu said.
"It's hard to see through old rivers and lakes like Chen Jiu, so let's be careful. The ikebana man said cautiously.
The two of them walked and talked for about ten minutes. Suddenly, the Ikebana man stopped, carefully fiddling with the compass in his hand.
"Brother Dao, what's wrong?" Chu Xiaojiu asked.
"This Yongdao has always been in the Qiankun position, and I don't know why it suddenly became a Dugong position. ”
The two men took two more steps forward, and the compass returned to the Qiankun position.
"It's okay, there may be some underground river that affects the pointer. ”
"The corridor over here seems to be longer than it was over there. Chu Xiaojiu said with a torch.
"Looks like yes, if you go that way, you should have already gone back. ”
The two of them walked for a while and returned to the fork in the road, seeing that Chen Jiu and they had already returned.
