After Wu Zhengping laughed at Big Eyes as nonsense, the two immediately started a debate. At first I thought they would argue against my situation. But after listening for a long time, they didn't mention anything to me. The focus of their debate was on Bian Que.
Big Eye believes that Bian Que is a god, and he can return to life after death to save the beloved. The evidence is that according to folklore, Wei Zhongxian was seriously ill. The old mother of Shandong warlord Han Fuju had a headache and was seriously ill. She was also cured by Bian Que in her dream.
Wu Zhengping believed that Bian Que was not a god but only met a genius doctor, because it was recorded in the "Historical Records" that Bian Que was just a guy in an inn. Because he met a god-given medicine, he had the special function of seeing people's internal organs through the belly. , And then became a genius doctor.
Seeing the two people spit wildly over this dispute, I suddenly realized that Wu Zhengping turned out to be a stubborn head. Gangtou is a person who likes to stand up to others. This kind of person likes to argue, loves more real, and likes to be horny. My understanding is that people with this trait are generally not liked by others, but they can't be associated with big crimes.
However, their idle, painful arguments have eased the tension and terror a lot, so that everyone's attention is not focused on the ghosts in the thick fog.
I looked at Su Meng again and saw that she was sitting on a rock and started writing and drawing with branches again.
Is she painting ghosts in thick fog? It seems that I will find an appropriate time to chat with her alone.
In the argument between Big Eye and Wu Zhengping, my sleepiness gradually came to me. Yan Fengjiao walked to me and said softly: "You still have injuries on your body. You should rest more. If you are sleepy, go to sleep first. I will watch the night."
I said gratefully: "Thank you."
In order to make my stay more comfortable, Yan Fengjiao gave me a back. I leaned on her warm back and fell asleep after a while. When I woke up, it was already bright.
Although it was bright, the fog was still very heavy, and Wu Zhengping took us down the mountain until the thick fog had all cleared away.
Wu Zhengping said that the student who left was in the northwest direction, and the direction we were on was exactly the big diagonal. However, Wu Zhengping said that he couldn't go straight through, he had to make a half circle around the foot of the mountain. The reason is that there is a large corpse hiding place in the hinterland which is very dangerous.
As the saying goes
No doubt, the suspect doesn't need it. Since we choose to let Wu Zhengping lead us to find a student to leave, we naturally have to fully trust him.
But Big Eye still has quite a bit of criticism about this, but he himself doesn't know where the student is, so he can only obey the majority. After all, it is better to have someone leading the way than to hit the big luck like a headless fly.
When looking down the mountain from the middle of the mountain, I didn't feel how big it was below, but when we got to the bottom of the mountain and we were completely in it, there was a kind of "cloud depth knowing where" was lost.
We started walking counterclockwise along the foot of the mountain. At about noon, we were tired and hungry, sitting on the rock with big eyes, panting and saying: "We should go find something to eat first, otherwise If you don’t get trapped here, you will starve to death.”
I looked around and asked, "Wu Daochang, can I find food here?"
Wu Daochang: "There are a lot of birds and wild things, but if you catch it, you can't make a fire and you can only eat it alive. Because the fire will expose our position in a lifetime. The ** will find us soon."
"Are there any wild fruits?"
"There are wild fruits, but the wild fruits themselves have a heavy yin qi, eating it will weaken the yang qi in the body and increase the yin qi."
Big-eyed dissatisfied said: "Then we can only be hungry?"
Wu Zhengping said: "It's better to be hungry than to die. If you walk a little further, you can find something to eat."
I looked at Yan Fengjiao on the side and asked, "How do you feel?"
Yan Fengjiao looked tired and said, "It's okay. I can hold on."
After a short break, we went on the road again. The mountain road was rugged and stumbling. Wu Zhengping walked and looked up and looked for the position or time of the life through the magnetic needle on the compass.
After walking for about an hour, we came to a valley. The orientation of the valley was exactly in the northwest, which was very consistent with the position of the gate of life mentioned by Wu Zhengping.
The valley is the same as the mountain stream that enters the Fetus Canal in Shouling Village. It splits from the middle of the mountain like a knife and an axe. It is like a huge change in the earth's crust and a mountain is torn in half. The difference is that the entrance to the valley in front of you is twenty or thirty. It is a few meters wide and brighter inside.
There was a whistling wind in the valley, and three twisted Chinese characters were carved on a badly damaged stone next to the entrance. Because it is an ancient character, I only know the last "kou" character.
I am pleased to ask:
"Dao Master Wu, did you find a stranger?"
Wu Zhengping ignored me, but climbed up a rock and looked into the valley. Big Eye said: "I don't see it as a life, but a death."
Wu Zhengping jumped off the rock and said, "Go, everyone follow me in."
I can't help but ask again: "Is this a student?"
"Students are so easy to find, it's still early."
Yan Fengjiao looked at the three words on the stone and asked, "Wu Daochang, there is still quicksand in Fetus Canal?"
It turns out that the first two words on the stone are pronounced "quick sand", and the valley is called a quicksand mouth.
Wu Zhengping said: "Yes. There are quicksand in the valley. There may be quicksand wells in the quicksand, so everyone must be careful."
I was stunned and asked: "What is a flowing manhole?"
Yan Fengjiao explained: "Drifting manholes are the most dangerous desert phenomenon. The flowing sand in the desert is called quicksand. Quicksand pits are formed by the special terrain and the wind direction of the area. They are vortices of sand and are not obvious from the surface of the sand. But the whirlpool of sand can swallow almost anything, and as long as it gets stuck in, there is no chance of it coming out. It's more powerful than the swamp."
Wu Zhengping said: "Okay, it's useless to explain so much. I will lead the way and everyone will follow."
Entering the valley and turning through two passes, the wind in the valley is getting stronger and stronger. The sand and dust in the wind make people unable to open their eyes. The originally bright sunlight can't shine into the valley, making the valley look particularly dark and cold. .
I braved the wind and sand, bowed and followed the back of the team. I don't know how long I walked. The team in front suddenly stopped. I looked up and saw a group of people coming from the opposite side.
All the people in this team are wearing white robes with hats on them, and their heads are very low. With the addition of wind and sand squinting, I can't see their appearance clearly.
Their white robes were blown loudly by the wind, and when they passed us, I was shocked to the extreme by their appearance, because they looked the same as ours.
They bowed their heads, turned a blind eye to us, lined up from us, and quickly passed by.
I quietly pulled Big Eye's arm, and Big Eye immediately made a silent gesture to me with a solemn expression, and I had no choice but to shut up.
When they finally disappeared in the pass behind us, Big Eyes let out a long sigh of relief.
