The guide climbed up first, then lowered the rope and lifted us up one by one. It seemed that this person often did this job and was well prepared. We started to climb up the mountain. After climbing more than 100 meters in twists and turns, the guide told us that his mission was completed and no one would check us here. If we want to stay in a hotel, go left, there is a Huangshan Hotel over there. On the right is Xianglu Peak and Feicui Valley. After that, he handed us a business card.
Damn, I met another hotel agent.
I heard that the hotels in the scenic area are terribly expensive. It was getting light, so why should we stay there? After the guide left, I turned on the flashlight I brought with me and looked at the scenic area guide map. The guide was right. To the left was the hotel, and to the right was Xianglu Peak. But I only knew that Qumo was in Huangshan, but I was not sure where it was exactly.
I asked Shen Bing and Wang Zijun to hide behind a big pine tree. The tree was so thick that it took two people to hug it. Hiding behind it could protect them from both rain and wind. I took out the compass and the papers, turned the papers over and asked Wang Zijun to hold them. I chanted the soul-searching spell to see if I could find Qu Mo's exact location.
My fingers started to move, and after a while they stopped. First of all, wherever the compass is, that is the center point, so this ritual is based on our current location as the reference point. I looked at the white paper and compared it with the guide map. The end of the black line is in the front left, probably after Taohua Peak, near Fuqiu Peak.
At this moment, the wind direction in the mountains changed unexpectedly, and drizzles of rain hit the faces of the three of us, which was as painful as a knife. Shen Bing kept shivering, and she covered her chest with her hands and shivered all over. But she bit her lips and acted very strong.
I said let's go, we will feel warm after climbing the mountain, but you must follow me closely, we must not get separated. It is easy to get lost and encounter danger when you are alone in the dark in the mountains. Shen Bing grabbed my clothes and said, "Don't worry, I won't lose you unless you fly into the sky."
Wang Zijun was more anxious than us. As soon as he heard that we were going to set off immediately, he rushed to the front.
The guide took us to the wilderness. There was no road to walk on. It was not like the man-made stone steps. It was all bumpy stone ground, which made it very difficult to walk. Shen Bing and I were in good physical condition. We still felt anxious and short of breath after climbing for a while. Wang Zijun was different. It could only be described as horrible. He was in the front before, but soon fell far behind. He took a step and rested for two steps, panting heavily like a dog with his tongue hanging out.
There was no other way, so Shen Bing and I found a flat big rock to sit on and wait for him. While waiting, I took out the eye-dotting pen and opened the Yin-Yang eyes on my forehead. Although ghosts rarely appear after the hour of the ox, that is in prosperous places, but in the deep mountains, especially in rainy weather, they will not play by the rules and may appear at any time. I think it is better to open the Yin-Yang eyes. There are so many hikers who died in vain in the mountains, it is hard to guarantee that you will not encounter one or two of them, so you can detect the enemy situation in advance.
When I finished this, I looked back at Wang Zijun, but he was gone! I quickly stood up from the rock and shone my flashlight around. He was not far away from us just now, how could he suddenly disappear
Shen Bing also stood up and asked curiously, "Where's Wang Zijun? I just lowered my head to look at the guide map a few times, and when I looked up I couldn't see him anymore."
I felt something was wrong, but my Yin-Yang eyes couldn't see anything unusual. I thought there wouldn't be any traps over there. Did this kid fall into it? I grabbed Shen Bing's hand and ran forward. I couldn't let her get lost again. I felt very relieved when I held her in my hands.
I ran to the place where Wang Zijun had rested just now. There were no traps around. There were only uneven protruding rocks and a few scattered big trees. There were no cliffs on the left and right sides. How could he suddenly disappear without a trace as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth
Suddenly, I felt a bone-chilling cold wind blowing past my back. My heart couldn't help but shudder. I turned around hurriedly, only to see a faint black gas floating in the distance, which disappeared in an instant!
