Yin Shaodong's helpless voice came from the other side: "The situation is very good, so good that there is no way to go."
"..."
I gritted my teeth and wondered in my heart what's going on? When I left, I didn't notice a rising stone gate at all. Even more unexpectedly, after we walked over, this stone gate would suddenly descend, directly isolating Yin Shaodong from the outside.
Is this an institution in particular? Or is it accidental
"No way, let's go first." Yin Shaodong's helpless voice came from inside, "I will think of a way to see if I can keep up with you later. You don't have to wait for me!"
At this moment, we, who were already five meters away, looked back, glanced at each other, and said: "What is he talking about?"
Ying Cai'er blinked: "He seems to say that he doesn't need to wait for him."
"But we didn't plan to wait for him."
"Yeah!" Ying Cai'er stretched out her hands helplessly, "This guy is feeling amorous again."
"Ok!"
We nodded and turned away without hesitation.
One Yin Shaodong was nothing but dying. What to worry about? is not it
After Yin Shaodong on the other side shouted, he found that there was no movement outside at all, and he didn't even reply at all, and he was stunned.
After five seconds, Yin Shaodong shouted:
"Fuck! A group of unscrupulous people, they just left without a single individual!"
The four people who continued on the road and a comatose Maruier, because Yin Shaodong was suddenly isolated from the stone gate, so this made us sure that there are more and more institutions in this golden stone pagoda, so now we are walking cautiously, looking up from time to time. Look at the top of your head to see if there is a similar mechanism hidden again.
But after walking for a while, nothing was found.
I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "It seems that Yin Shaodong is not lucky. We haven't encountered any organs."
"Yes." Ying Cai'er followed me, and I continued to follow Old Tai and Brother Guang.
"Too bad luck!"
Brother Guang walked in the forefront and said lightly: "Don't take it lightly."
As soon as the voice fell, Ying Cai'er's exclamation suddenly came from behind.
I look back again, damn it! Ying Cai'er is gone!
"?"
"Where is the person?" I hurriedly called.
"Hu Tian, below, below."
Ying Cai'er's voice seemed to be coming from under my feet. I lowered my head suspiciously and found that a piece of land under my feet did not know when it became a transparent, glass-like existence.
And through this transparent ground, I saw Ying Cai'er standing in a closed space below.
"Um!" I was stunned, and said with a puzzled look, "How did you get down?"
Ying Cai'er opened her mouth wide, as if she was screaming hard, but the voice that reached my ears was very weak. After carefully distinguishing it, I understood what she was talking about.
"I don't know either!" This was shouted by Ying Cai'er.
I:"… "
I took two steps back, and then stomped two feet hard on the ground.
The ground didn't move.
I:"… "
According to preliminary predictions, this is harder than bulletproof glass.
"There is no way, only to resort to the last move." My expression was serious, and I murmured.
Brother Guang and Old Tai stared at me in surprise. Obviously, they were very curious about my last move.
I took a deep breath and squatted down slowly, then looked at Ying Cai'er underground, and finally slowly raised my hand...
He made a goodbye gesture to Ying Cai'er.
Cai'er Ying: "?"
Brother Guang and Lao Tai: "?"
I got up and left.
"Um!" Lao Tai and Brother Guang were obviously dumbfounded, they didn't expect that I would actually leave like this. But obviously they couldn't help it, so they just hesitated for a while, and then followed me.
Brother Guang and Lao Tai followed me and asked, "So your way is to say goodbye to that girl?"
I turned my head: "Yes! Didn't you see how sincere I was when I waved?"
"..."
"My name is psychotherapy, which can be very encouraging when people are in trouble." I explained.
"That's really amazing." Old Tai and Brother Guang were obviously a little speechless.
"But to be more precise, I leave with such confidence because I believe in them." I said lightly.
"Oh?"
"Yes, no matter what people trapped them there for whatever purpose, but in my opinion, it is just futile, because the two of them will surely turn into good fortune, so for us, it is still Go to Bu Laoquan as soon as possible, solve Lao Tai's matter, and then you will leave. The rest of the matter has nothing to do with you." I said without looking back.
Hearing what I said, Brother Guang and Old Tai followed behind and didn't say anything.
At the same time, Ying Cai'er on the other side flashed a solemn eye, murmured: "It turns out that Hu Tian wanted to say this..."
She was stunned for a while, then pulled out a rune from her waist, and muttered: "Maoshan Sound Transmission... Yin Shaodong, can you hear..."
Now, there are only three people who can leave, they are me, Lao Tai, and Brother Guang.
Suddenly, I stopped: "Who do you think will be trapped here next?!"
I turned my head, stared at them two and asked.
"what?"
Obviously, Brother Guang and Lao Tai didn't expect that I would ask like that. Both of them looked startled and froze in place.
After that, Brother Guang smashed his mouth and said, "As long as we are careful, there should be nothing wrong."
"Oh." I smiled slightly, neither said yes nor said no, "then let's go on."
After another five minutes, a huge stone bucket that fell from the sky immediately caught Brother Guang.
"Bang Dang" sounded like a bell.
I:"… "
Lao Tai: "..."
Brother Guang: "..."
"Just as I didn't say anything just now, go ahead!" Brother Guang's voice came from inside the stone bucket.
I turned my head to look at Lao Tai, and asked, "Do you know what's going on?"
Old Tai's face became extremely ugly. The next second, he trembled and said, "Curse, this is a curse."
"?" My expression finally became solemn.
The sweat drops on Lao Tai’s forehead were already obvious. He lowered his voice and said, “Bulaoquan can only be found by two people at a time. Other people will encounter various organs in the process of finding it. Forced to stay halfway. This is an unbreakable curse."
I:"… "
"If this curse is true and cannot be cracked, do I continue to accompany you?" I stared at Old Tai and asked.
Old Tai was silent for a while, then looked up at me: "No need."
I looked at him and said softly: "Is it okay to be alone?"
"no problem."
"How far is the Fountain of Youth?"
"almost there."
"You've been here before, haven't you?" I asked suddenly.
Old Tai was stunned, then raised his head to look at me and nodded slowly: "Yes."
"..."
"I will accompany you through the last paragraph again. When I reach the entrance of the Fountain of Ages, I will not enter." I said.
"it is good."
I patted the stone bucket and shouted at Brother Guang inside: "Brother Guang, let's go first. You have a good rest."
There was no voice from Brother Guang, but I didn't stop either. I just nodded secretly, then turned and left.
After walking 200 meters in a dark passage, finally, a bright light appeared before our eyes.
Lao Tai turned around and said, "Hu Tian, thank you very much."
I was taken aback, then smiled: "Thank you for what?"
"You know, I can't walk here without you." Lao Tai looked at me and said, then opened his mouth again and murmured, "I also know that you also asked the man from Maoshan to investigate my last time. Where to go."
I was taken aback suddenly, my face changed, and I murmured: "You all know?"
Old Tai nodded extremely calmly: "Of course I know. But what I want to tell you is that what you see is not necessarily the truth."
I:"… "
After saying this, Lao Tai ignored my astonishment, then turned and left, disappearing into the white light.
I sat down, trapped by a swamp under my feet.
My eyes flashed, and I remembered the thing I asked Yin Shaodong to do the day before yesterday.
I asked him to investigate how many people Lao Tai took to find Bulaoquan last time.
The answer surprised me because it was completely different from what Lao Tai said.
He did not buy the lives of one person, but the lives of five people.
One is for changing lives, and the other four are for holding ceremonies.
Initiate the festival of Bu Laoquan...
My eyelids sank and I found that the swamp under my feet had covered my calf.
I smashed my mouth, and secretly said, "This is the second place to worship."
The first one is Yin Shaodong.
The second one is Ying Caier.
The third one is Brother Guang.
The fourth is me.
The last person to change his life was Old Tai himself.
He was going to use the lives of five people in exchange for Marier.
In my heart: "... Lao Tai, are you serious?"
I sat quietly on the spot, feeling the swamp under my feet eroding me step by step.
I don't know the situation on the other sides. I only know that if this continues, within three minutes, I will be swallowed by the swamp and become a living fossil in the Golden Stone Pagoda.
After so many years of being dug out, maybe it will still be scary!
I was thinking about it, finally looking away from the light.
After two minutes and fifty-five seconds passed.
The swamp was only the last millimeter from my nostrils.
I:"… "
I'm not slow, I'm planning to take a hard breath and wait for a while longer.
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed in from the entrance of the light. The next second, I felt a powerful hand grab me, then pulled me out of the swamp, and then dragged me towards Ran in one direction.
When I got back to my senses, I found that I was already in a cave.
The green vines, the flowing water, the fresh fragrance of flowers... are completely different from the black tomb road outside.
"Is this Huaguoshan?" I couldn't help but sigh.
When I turned my head, I found Lao Tai was sitting in front of a pile of spring water with his back to me, and Marelle seemed to be lying quietly in front of him.
I patted the swamp mud on my body, stood up faintly, and said, "What's wrong? The result seemed to be what I expected."
"Hu Tian, did you listen carefully to what I just said? What you see is not necessarily the truth." Lao Tai's tone seemed a little sad.
"Huh?" I was puzzled.
But Lao Tai did not continue to answer, but took a deep breath, and then sighed heavily: "Forget it, it doesn't matter. What I want to say is, do you remember that time?"
"Which time?"
"The last time we went to the ground, the one we almost wiped out." Old Tai said lightly.
"That time..." I nodded slowly, "Why don't I remember?"
