After turning for such a long time, he still came to hurt me.

I vomited angrily in my heart, without making a sound on my face, Gu Tang chuckled and stopped talking. After he interrupted in this way, the originally nervous atmosphere disappeared a little.

The two continued to advance among the remains of the city in the depths of the mountain, surrounded by nothingness and darkness, and the light could reach the decayed ancient building covered with white cobwebs.

This kind of building seems to be very different from that of the Han people. There is no traditional carved beams and paintings, but rather simple. I don’t know if the decorative part is hidden by spider silk or there is no decorative part at all. I have seen it this way. It is a very simple building.

But if the brain hole is particularly big, it seems that a touch of Gothic architecture can be seen in it.

Conical roof, small square windows, some of the buildings are very straight and dangerous, which does not conform to the stable and dignified characteristics of traditional buildings.

Moreover, there was no courtyard wall built. All the buildings had gates facing the street. I don't know if the Shao people have no awareness of thieves or there are no thieves here at all. Every house has no courtyard walls or even doors installed.

Just leave an empty black space, and you can't see what's in it when you shine a flashlight into it.

"Is it because the Shao people don't have the awareness of anti-thief? The houses here don't have doors." I said.

"It shouldn't be that there is no awareness of thieves, but there are no thieves here at all." Gu Tang said.

"Huh? It's impossible, isn't it? Our current society can't reach the level where we don't have to pick up roads and keep our homes closed at night."

"Why don't we have the situation of not closing the house at night?" Gu Tang asked.

"Because everyone has the awareness of anti-thief, so we can't stay closed at night." He said to himself, "Then why everyone has the awareness of anti-thief?"

"Because there are thieves." I said.

"Yes, it is precisely because you have thieves that you have the awareness of thieves. When a place does not close at night, it means that there is no theft in this place."

"Material determines consciousness, practice determines understanding, what kind of evil deeds appear determines what kind of malice appears." He said.

Good politics.

"Of course, the house here does not see the door, nor can it be ruled out... The wooden door has rotted into dust over the years." Gu Tangyou said.

Uh, having said so much, it would be embarrassing to really come out like this.

I was about to drag him into a building to see if there was any trace of the door installed, but Gu Tang stopped me.

"More is worse than less. The most important thing for us now is to join Gu Nanshan."

Gu Nanshan, it should be Mr. Gu's name. This is the first time I have heard his name mentioned. What is the relationship between Gu Tang and Gu Nanshan? Is it really the father and son I guess? The two don't look alike.

But I didn't ask any further, and the two continued to move forward.

The ground is getting steeper and steeper, and sometimes there are several relatively high slopes. The streets have basically disappeared. Obviously, the terrain here is not suitable for building streets. This also shows that I am getting closer and closer to the deepest place.

The surrounding buildings are also sparse, and there are few observatories and the like standing there. It's just that there are a lot more cobwebs on the ground. At first, it only reached the ankles of Gu Tang and me, but now it has indeed reached the calf.

Looking around, the flashlight was covered with white spider silk.

"Heavy snow all over the mountains and plains", such a sentence suddenly appeared in my mind.

The spider silk under my feet thickened and became very sticky. "Why is this stuff so sticky." I said.

Gu Tang walked a few steps ahead and stopped and said, "It's very sticky... It means they are still fresh." He took out the lighter, "Also, have you noticed that our calves are densely itchy?" He asked. (End of this chapter)
