Volume 1 Chapter 166: Finally Escaped
I didn't expect Dawu to say such a thing, which surprised me.
But looking at this Dawu's serious appearance, I know that he is not just talking, he really has the mentality of daring to sacrifice himself to let me escape.
Now, as long as I nod my head, I believe that Dawu will not hesitate to agree to me.
"I'm just kidding, why are you so serious......" I waved my hand, Dawu has this heart really makes me feel warm.
"Third master, I'm not joking with you, if the current situation makes it impossible for either of us to get out, it's better to sacrifice me in exchange for your life. This is much better than both of us being trapped in this ghost place, and I can be regarded as returning the second master to save my life! ”
"If you want to pay him back, you will give it back to him, and I will not take it for him. Moreover, even if you exchange your death for me to escape from here, it is a very difficult and painful thing for me to get out of this desert alone, and the chances of me getting out alive are very small. ”
It's not that I'm presumptuous, it's not easy to return from a no-man's land to a place where there are people with my ability.
However, Dawu's words gave me a new motivation, I still don't want to die in this place, and it's probably impossible to escape from Ruyi City with the ability of both of us. I thought that since Li Xun had really come to Ruyi City, then he must have come in last time, and it was very likely that he had encountered this situation as well, but he still managed to escape from the desert, and he must have a way to crack it.
"Let's go find that kid Li Xun now, if we can find him, there will still be a chance to leave here." I'm on the Great Martial Arts.
"Third master, I think it's better for us to rely on ourselves, whether Li Xun has entered Ruyi City or not is another matter. Even if he came in, we might still fall into an illusion when we left this house, because we don't know if we don't approach the direction of the city gate, we won't fall into the illusion. ”
Dawu's words once again plunged me into despair, our situation was really awkward, and at the same time it made people feel a sense of helplessness to despair.
I understand that this time the two of us will have to leave Ruyi City on our own, and we must not think about anything else now, it will only be a waste of time for no reason.
Eventually, I decided to go back to the original method, we found all the points that could lead us to the illusion, took precautions, and tried to escape again.
As long as we don't suspect that it's an illusion, it can't help us, and the most serious consequence is just being in the illusion, which is better than sitting here and waiting for death.
I discussed it with Dawu and agreed that this decision was feasible, and then we made preparations for a long time.
This time we were going to seal not only our eyes and ears, but also our hands, because Daitake suspected that something we had come into contact with might have caused us to hallucinate.
In addition to this, we also put on gas masks, perhaps because there was some kind of hallucinogenic gas in the air.
With all these protections in place, we were finally able to make sure that we were on our way to the city gates again.
Because this time our sight and hearing are gone, so we can only move forward little by little, but fortunately all the way is in a straight line, as long as the two of us do not deviate from the route.
Originally, I was worried that people would not be able to walk in a straight line, and we would take a crooked route, so I was still thinking about how to avoid this problem, but Dawu said that he could always walk in a straight line without deviating, so I kept holding on to his clothes.
This time, we walked under the gates without a sound, we didn't see anything, we didn't smell anything, we didn't touch anything.
I didn't even suspect that we had fallen into a hallucination, and when we actually stepped out of the gates, the temperature around us suddenly became cold, so cold that my mind became clear.
"Third master, we're really out!"
While I was still stunned, Dawu had already removed all the protective measures, and he jumped up to me and cheered. I was a little dazed and removed the protective measures on my body, and found that we were indeed standing outside Ruyi City, and the brightly lit Ruyi City was behind me, which looked very weird.
But this time it felt more real than the previous ones, and I was sure that we really came out, and just when I wanted to subconsciously find the flaw, I forcibly slapped myself a few times.
As long as I don't doubt my surroundings now, there is no such thing as whether my surroundings are real or not.
Dawu and I glanced at each other, and we both saw the excitement of the aftermath in each other's eyes.
Without hesitation, he immediately walked towards the desert with his equipment on his back, and neither of us asked if he was in the illusion this time, and he didn't even look back at Ruyi City.
After walking for nearly ten kilometers in one go, I stopped and rested for a while, and I was sure that we had really come out completely, not in a fantasy world.
It was a little past night, and it was still early in the morning, so we couldn't have walked all night in the desert, but this place was not suitable for rest, and after resting for a while, we continued on our way again.
At about three o'clock in the morning, we found a place with dozens of boulders, leaned against the rocks and planned to sleep for a while, and then we continued our journey after dawn.
Soon we fell asleep, finally woke up in the sun, and then we both set out on another desert journey.
Time returned to reality, Pang Qing listened to me all day, and it was already more than ten o'clock at night, but he was not tired at all.
Most of the storefronts outside my antique shop have closed, and there is a lot of snow outside, so I made a pot of tea for Pang Qing and myself again, and Pang Qing said: "Third Master Qiu, the story about Ruyi City ends here?" ”
"For the time being, I went back with Dawu, and by chance, we had to go to Ruyi City again, of course, this is all later. But after we went back, we saw a scene that we will never forget in our lives, and it was at that time that all the changes began. ”
Pang Qing took a sip of tea, and then said: "It's not early today, I'll leave first, I'll come to you tomorrow, and you can continue to tell me." ”
I smiled and nodded to Pang Qing, and then watched the young man leave my antique shop.
Looking at the back of his departure, I sat on the bench and breathed a sigh of relief, I have been reminiscing about the past for Pang Qing all day today, which does evoke a lot of memories for me, and I suddenly miss Dawu who was born and died with me.
But I haven't been in touch with him for a long time, and since that incident, Dawu has opened his own antique shop......
