Chapter 79: Trapped by Something
Xia Jing's gaze moved to Zhu Ruru.
He lifted his hand and stroked his chin.
"It's nothing else, when I heard that you and Meng Gongzi were the first to find out that we had been going around and taking the same path."
"The official called you here just to ask, what do you think about this matter?"
Xia Jing asked this very directly, and he didn't beat around the bush at all.
Zhu Ruru was not surprised.
She had actually guessed a long time ago that Xia Jing asked Wu Tongcai to call her and Meng Huaiyan over, which might have something to do with this matter.
She didn't answer Xia Jing directly, but asked rhetorically: "Lord Commander, you have a map on you, presumably you also noticed something was wrong a long time ago, right?" Do you know what's going on? ”
Xia Jing didn't expect Zhu Ruru to throw the question back to himself again, and he was slightly stunned.
If he had known what was going on, he wouldn't have called them over.
He shook his head, "We did notice something was wrong, but we don't know what was going on. ”
"Miss Zhu, what do you think?"
Xia Jing threw the question to Zhu Ruru again.
Zhu Ruru didn't avoid it this time, she stared at her eyes and was silent for a while before she spoke.
"I think we might be stuck here......"
As soon as Zhu Ruru's words fell, Xia Jing frowned: "Miss Zhu, do you think we have encountered something unclean?" ”
He snorted, his face disappointed.
"What a ghost or a monster there is in this world! It's just to scare yourself! ”
Xia Jing obviously didn't believe in ghosts and gods.
Zhu Ruru's expression was still the same, and she said: "What I said is not something that is 'unclean'. ”
Xia Jing: "......??? ”
Putting Xia Jing's face full of questions in his eyes, Zhu Ruru explained: "I have read a book about Daomen formations before, and I think it is possible that we are also trapped in a formation. ”
Xia Jing's eyes widened suddenly: "You mean, the reason why we have been going around and around and can't get out of this valley is because someone has set up a formation here?" ”
Zhu Ruru's statement seems to be even more unreliable than encountering unclean things.
However, when I think about it carefully, I feel that this is not impossible.
Compared with the theory of ghosts and gods, Xia Jing is more willing to believe that it is man-made.
"Miss Zhu, since you can see that the reason why we can't get out of this valley is because we are trapped in the formation, do you know how to crack this formation?"
Xia Jing squinted his eyes and looked at Zhu Ruru.
Zhu Ruru's answer to him was to shake his head.
Zhu Ruru didn't lie just now, the reason why she saw that they might be trapped in a formation was indeed because she had read relevant books.
Of course, it's not what she watched, but what the original owner watched......
The original owner didn't finish reading the book, but only read part of it. That part is mainly about how to look at the formation, and does not teach how to crack the formation.
Zhu Ruru really didn't know how to crack the formation, so Xia Jing had to let them go back.
As soon as Zhu Ruru and Meng Huaiyan left, Wu Tongcai stepped forward with a solemn expression.
"Boss, we can't really be trapped here by some formation, right? How could anyone set up a formation in this deserted valley? What can I do? ”
Xia Jing is also very big at this time, and his head is even bigger when he is nagged in his ear by Wu Tongcai.
"Alright, stop chattering. Ask anyone in the team who understands this. ”
"Since it's artificial, you can always find a way to crack it!"
Here, as soon as Zhu Ruru and Meng Huaiyan came back, Tang Qinglan and a few people greeted them.
"Ruru, what is the matter with Deputy Commander Wu looking for you in the past?"
Zhu Ruru said: "It's nothing, Commander Xia just asked us a few words." ”
"Mother, we should spend the night here tonight. I'm afraid it's a little cold at night in the valley, and maybe there will be predators. ”
"Let's get some dry firewood and don't let the fire go out at night."
