Wow.
Yuan Yuanyuan stood in the cold wind, not knowing what expression she should make. In the end, she could only say in her heart, "Wow."
"Hongshajing has been blocked recently, and outsiders cannot enter." The leader of the humans nearby said, "We need to go through a few more checkpoints."
Yuan Yuanyuan herself didn't care. She just left if she wanted to. Anyway, this kind of thing... could be regarded as visiting a tourist attraction.
Don't ask Yuan Yuanyuan why she had this complaining feeling, it's because they just came to a place similar to a tourist attraction, there were crowds of people at the entrance, and there were people selling tickets. Before Yuan Yuanyuan could ask them if student tickets were half price or something, a tour guide-like character next to them led them slowly through another area surrounded by fences, and there were men with guns guarding nearby.
There weren't many people traveling with them, just Yuan Yuanyuan and a few monsters. Only five people came out from the human side, including the bald man from last time, but the woman was nowhere to be seen.
From here, it gets more and more remote, even though the entrances are all together. They took the car for a whole day, and the road became more and more desolate. In the end, they passed several checkpoints in succession. Yuan Yuanyuan even saw something that looked like a tank... After passing several strictly guarded checkpoints, the "tour guide" whispered: "We're here." Then a particularly large and thick electronic iron door in front of them slowly opened, and Yuan Yuanyuan and the others saw the scene behind.
“Oh my God…” Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the place in front of her and felt that the world behind and in front of the iron gate were two completely different worlds.
Behind the iron gate is a huge ancient city wall... Yuan Yuanyuan had to look up to see the top of the city wall when she was in the car. It is not inferior to the existing city wall in Xi'an. However, the wall here is dark blue and has a dead air.
This place is like a small town from a long time ago... Yuan Yuanyuan and the others walked around the ancient city wall. This place has a kind of desolation that is unique to the northwest. There is not even a blade of grass growing on the ground. The ground is made of dry loess. She looked around and felt more and more creepy the further she walked. She thought she would see a lot of white bones on the road, but as she walked along, she found that there were no corpses or anything like that, except for the eerie feeling.
There is almost no grass growing here.
The sky above was dim and it felt like it was going to rain at any moment, and that rain would definitely be accompanied by mud. Yuan Yuanyuan thought it was too dark here and thought about using a flashlight, but the flashlight didn't work.
"We're here." The "tour guide" said to them. Yuan Yuanyuan was stunned. "We're here? When did we get there?"
Before she could figure out what was going on, she saw a house with a flying eaves in front of her. She walked around it for a few steps and vaguely saw a well. The edge of the well was made of blue bricks and there was a dead tree beside it. It looked like a well that someone used to draw water, but judging by the dust on it, it must have dried up.
Yuan Yuanyuan didn't know what she was thinking at the time, but she did complain seriously - is it really a well? Is it really okay to have such a realistic name
The well just stood there so quietly that it seemed like there would be no sense of incongruity even if someone went to fetch water from it.
Yuan Yuanyuan stood by the side the whole time, watching what they did. She remembered that the seven men first forced her to drink a bowl of green soup. Yuan Yuanyuan did not look closely, but she saw that after she drank the bowl of soup, red blood accompanied by green juice kept flowing down her mouth.
She didn't know what it was for, so after thinking about it, she pushed the monster next to her and said, "Hey, what is that thing for?"
The monster next to Yuan Yuanyuan was Yu Wu. He was the only one Yuan Yuanyuan knew among these monsters. Because the old man with white beard didn't come, Yuan Yuanyuan was the leader this time. Yu Wu glared at her and asked, "Why? You didn't drink it before?"
… Yuan Yuanyuan was speechless. She thought for a few seconds, then turned around and said, "No, I've drunk it, but I don't know what it is."
"I want you to die thoroughly because I'm afraid you will crawl out." Yu Wu gritted his teeth and said with a smile.
"Oh." Yuan Yuanyuan nodded as if she suddenly understood, and turned away again.
She didn't understand why Yuwu hated Yiqi so deeply. As a fujoshi, she could easily spot many abnormal things. Yuan Yuanyuan lived a relatively poor life, and the only luxury she had was her spiritual world... Well, although in some ways her spiritual world was indeed extremely luxurious.
When the first person was thrown down, Yuan Yuanyuan was still talking to Yu Wu, "Hey, when I 'disappeared', you must have been sealed for a long time."
The fishermen did not answer.
"Well, you said that we are both quite old now, and it is not easy for us to live to this day, so we should just make do with each other. The hatred we had back then is actually nothing at this age, right? Besides, you see, I was obviously much more miserable than you later..."
As Yuan Yuanyuan was talking, she suddenly realized that another person was thrown in in front of her. She was halfway through her words when she suddenly twitched.
When the first monster was thrown in, there was no echo at all.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked up at the sky again. It was still that dim yellow color. She looked down at the ground. The soil had not turned blood red either.
The second monster was thrown down. Yuan Yuanyuan saw that he didn't even make a sound of struggle, so he was held and thrown in very quietly. He didn't even shout, so he was thrown in very calmly.
Yuan Yuanyuan didn't even hear a "dong" sound, she just threw it down calmly, and then came the next one.
The whole scene is as quiet as a painting.
There was not even a trace of wind, it was very quiet.
If there had been any struggle at all... Yuan Yuanyuan might have thought more, but she would definitely not be suddenly stunned like at this moment.
Before leaving, Yuan Yuanyuan turned around and took a look at the well. The small wellhead was made of blue bricks, and there was no movement inside. It looked like a well in a quiet town that provided drinking water for everyone.
Yuan Yuanyuan turned her head.
Creepy.
The way back was a bit time-consuming because it was raining. The monsters in the car were a bit impatient and wanted to go back first, only Yuan Yuanyuan put her hat on her head and sat in the back seat to catch up on her sleep.
The driver in front looked a little panicked. Although he didn't say it, Yuan Yuanyuan knew that his heartbeat was quickening. Yuan Yuanyuan turned over and listened to the monsters discussing, "Why is the rain so frightening?"
"What are you afraid of?" The fisherman next to him smiled and sneered, "We have a master here."
Yuan Yuanyuan still had her eyes closed, for she was afraid that if she opened her eyes she would start a fight with Yu Wu.
Fortunately, the car was driving smoothly. Yuan Yuanyuan actually fell asleep while sitting there. When she woke up, she suddenly found that she had returned to the city without knowing when, and there were lights and people everywhere.
The city was shrouded in fog and rain, with thin streams of water flowing down the glass windows. Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the city outside through the water.
She turned around and saw that the monsters next to her had fallen asleep at some point.
Yuan Yuanyuan was bored and saw a magazine stuck in the pocket of the seat in front of her. She took it out and started reading it under the light from the car above her head.
"Qing Fu Chen..." Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the name of the magazine, and then at the whisk logo on it, guessing that it was a Taoist magazine. She sighed that if one lives long enough, one can really see everything. Then she flipped through it casually. Who would have known that this magazine actually talked about things related to Taoism, and many of the conclusions were very cutting-edge.
"Huh?" Yuan Yuanyuan watched it out of curiosity, and she got addicted to it, and the more she watched, the more interested she became.
By the time the car returned to the mountain at dawn, Yuan Yuanyuan had finished reading all the books. She even wanted to read another one, but the car stopped downstairs of a restaurant and the monsters around gradually woke up. Yuan Yuanyuan could only put the books back with some regret and got off the car.
After getting off the car, they looked around and found that everyone seemed to have no idea what they had done during the past few days... Yuan Yuanyuan didn't want them to know what they had done during the past few days, so she slowly went upstairs, then lay on the bed and relaxed her body.
Not long after she lay down, she heard someone knocking slowly at the door. When the door opened, someone informed her that she could leave tomorrow. Only then did she feel as if she were in another world.
So... I can go home tomorrow.
It was at this time that Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly realized that the few days she had spent here were quite scary. She always felt that if she did something wrong, she might not be able to go back. However, she thought about it again and realized that it was useless to say so much... Anyway, she would just go back.
When she was about to go to bed, there was a knock on the door again. Yuan Yuanyuan opened her eyes wide in an instant, her eyes were bloodshot, and she was ready to kill him if anyone else came.
But after pushing the door open... Yuan Yuanyuan discovered that the person at the door was the old man. She felt that she didn't want to kill an old man for a thousand years, so she gave up.
The first thing the old man said after he entered the room was, "I didn't want to say this, but I'm afraid that if I leave like this, I will never see you again."
What? Are you going to die? Are you finally going to be beaten to death? Yuan Yuanyuan's mind suddenly lit up.
"I understand your reluctance to leave the mountain... but please also pay a little more attention to the future of the monsters." The old man bowed deeply, "After the death of the previous king, the monsters have been leaderless, and the current king is too weak... We don't have any powerful monsters anymore. I believe that your successful return must be the arrangement of the monster god."
Bullshit, it was clearly Ji Qiu’s arrangement.
When Yuan Yuanyuan squinted her eyes, the old man opposite her suddenly handed her a mirror and said, "This is for you."
This thing stunned Yuan Yuanyuan.
After the old man finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving Yuan Yuanyuan alone standing there.
The next day, a few more monsters stood at Yuanyuan's door.
When Yuan Yuanyuan went out, she looked at Yu Wu silently. The other party also looked back at her silently. Yuan Yuanyuan's mouth twitched.
"From today on, we are your subordinates." Several monsters said, "We will obey your command."
Yuan Yuanyuan's mouth twitched again, and she looked at Yu Wu... and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Pfft... It turns out that when you live long enough, you can see everything."
