I swear, I used to be a dandy. I was surrounded by dozens of people with knives. After I went to the ground, I faced a mummy female ghost and a headless man. Just now, I also faced Zhu Kaihua who turned into a rotting corpse.
I used to be afraid.
But at this time, I can't describe my mood. Helpless, entangled, hesitant, and even a trace of desire and curiosity. When I suspected that my second brother was my father, I was very depressed. If they were not the same person,
, then one day, when two people who look exactly the same suddenly stand together, how will they feel, how will I feel, and how will my mother feel?
But I never imagined that I would be the first to face this problem.
The resemblance between the second brother and my father can be explained by genetics, but what about this person? He looks like me, how to explain it? Is this my illegitimate son? Or maybe I am actually a twin, is this?
My long-lost brother? No matter what possibilities I thought of, they seemed impossible.
But this man wearing a shroud, holding a bronze sword, walked slowly towards me. My flashlight kept shining on his face, which was pale, even his lips were white, without any life, that kind of thing.
The pale white color of the corpse.
He is a dead man.
This face is not the first time I have seen it. The first time I saw him in the bottomless cave of Thousand Buddha Cave, it became a stuck thorn in my heart that I could not pull out, and I
Unfortunately, I couldn't mention it to anyone. I even comforted myself for a time. At that time, it was just my eyesight and I saw it wrong.
But what about now? Am I still dazzled? Did I see it wrong?
It’s okay to comfort yourself, but it’s okay to deceive yourself. I’ve always understood this truth.
The other me, not only the face, but also the height and body, are exactly the same as me. In an instant, countless years flooded into my mind.
Liu Tianyu's attention.
The fear of Taoist Wang.
The second brother’s persistence.
Including what Zhao Dakui said just now that I am the only key to unlocking the secret.
What they care about is not me, not Zhao Sanliang, who is half-combatant, but the other me in front of me who looks like a knight wearing a shroud and carrying a bronze sword.
The other me walked up to me, squatted down, and looked at me with two pupil-less eyes, expressionless. It gave me the feeling that he seemed very calm to me. It was very natural.
This made me immediately feel unconvinced.
Why are you so calm? You imitated my handsome face and you are still reasonable? Do you know that piracy is shameful? Do you still have any sense of shame?
Of course, I was able to think so wildly to relieve myself from stress. When I was about to speak, I realized that no matter how simple I thought about this matter, it was all nonsense.
The tension is there and never leaves.
Even my voice was deformed, and my throat was extremely dry. In the end, I could only hold in three words.
Who are you?
After asking, I suddenly realized that my question was very **, but if you want to say **, it was not very **. The whole feeling was as if I was looking in the mirror, and then pointed at the person in the mirror and asked: You
who is it?
He didn't answer me, but still looked at me. The eyes without pupils obviously meant that this was a corpse, but I don't know if it was an illusion or something. I always felt that there was something indescribable in these eyes.
of magic.
past life, present life, past and future.
He kept squatting there, looking at me, silent and motionless, until finally, he suddenly murmured: It feels so familiar.
The voice was cold and seemed to be filled with doubts.
Nima, are you not familiar with me? Have you never looked in the mirror when you were so old? Don’t you know that you look exactly the same as your brother? It would be strange if you are not familiar with me!
At this time, I didn’t know where I got the courage to yell at him loudly: Who the hell are you?!
He shook his head, repeated my words, and asked: Who am I?
At this time, it was the first time I saw his dead face showing expression, full of doubts and confusion. Then I asked myself, who am I?
After asking several times, he suddenly put something into my hand, stood up, and disappeared after a few jumps.
Somehow, I started to chase and shouted: Stop! Tell me clearly before leaving!
The next moment, I suddenly woke up, opened my eyes, and saw a familiar face in front of me. My scalp exploded! I turned over and rolled to the distance, shouting: Lao Zhu! Don't come here!!
Zhu Kaihua jumped up angrily and cursed: What's wrong with you! I'm going to fuck you!
I almost couldn't turn my head around. When I heard this familiar voice, "Nima, what on earth is going on?" I turned around and saw that I was in a tent now. After Lao Zhu and I made such a fuss, the tent was originally full of people.
The few people who were still discussing the matter turned around and looked at me in surprise.
When I looked, Zheng Bishan, Buck Teeth Si, Zhao Dakui, Zhu Kaihua, one of Zhao Dakui's boys, and Zheng Bishan's apprentice who was hugging women were all still there. They were surrounding a smokeless stove, and Zhao Dakui was holding it.
He was holding a map and seemed to be studying it.
Zhao Dakui glanced at me and said with a smile: What are you dreaming about? He cried and laughed, asking who you were at one moment, and making people stop at the other.
I touched the clothes on my body and found that I was covered in cold sweat. I didn't know if I was scared in my dream or if I was scared by Zhu Kaihua when I woke up.
Hey, no, it was me who was dreaming just now?!
Is everything just a dream?!
I saw Lao Zhu looking at me menacingly, and said with a smile: I just had a dream, it was so damn real, I dreamed that you died and turned into a rice dumpling to gnaw at me.
Zhu Kaihua rolled his eyes and cursed: I have saved your life several times, and you just want me to die so much?!
After saying that, he changed the subject and continued: "Should I bite you? You are a half-combatant, something that will die if you touch it, and you dirty your buddy's teeth with it?"
I was aroused by his words, and I wanted to stand up and fight with him. You are so contemptuous of people! But the next moment, I found something in my right hand.
I lowered my head and saw that it was a piece of silk, white silk. It was the same silk as the fabric of my shroud in the dream.
It was exactly the same satin as the one I finally thrust into my hands in the dream!!!
For a moment, my whole body was shaking! My whole head was tangled into a ball of paste!!
Was I dreaming just now! Or am I dreaming now?!
Thinking of this, I slapped myself in the face. It hurt. It hurt. Then I looked up and saw a group of them looking at me like idiots. I slapped me again. I tried my best to slap this slap.
My head feels dizzy.
This time I looked up, I was still in the tent, and their eyes had turned to horror.
Zhu Kaihua turned around and said to the crowd: That's it! Xiao Sanliang fell asleep like a fool!
I couldn't care less about it. I was afraid that the group of people I met now were all hallucinations. Since I didn't have any trouble with myself, I pounced on Zhu Kaihua. Although Zhu Kaihua was good at skills, he was caught off guard and was hugged by me.
Then, my hand directly touched his face.
A few of them may have been strange and thought I was possessed by a ghost, so they all stood up and pulled me. Even Bucktooth Si started to reach out and touch my forehead, muttering: Brother Sanliang, are you stupid?
I'm not stupid, Zhu Kaihua kicked me away. I only had one thought in my mind, his face was warm, it seemed that my brother Gancai was indeed dreaming.
But what’s going on with the satin in my hand?
I looked up and asked them, "Have I been sleeping in this tent just now? Nowhere else?"
Buck Teeth nodded and said: Well, when we found you and Zhao Dakui, you were sleeping and didn't wake up. It's already noon.
The fourth buck-toothed man was very respectful to me, and he was also honest, so I asked him: So, fourth man, has anyone been in this tent? A man in white clothes who looks very similar to me?
He bucked his teeth and shook his head, saying: No, you have been sleeping, and we have been in the tent. Besides, in the wilderness, how could there be anyone else in the woods? Brother Sanliang, why do you ask this? What happened?
Son?
I secretly stuffed the satin into my pocket. The current situation is too nonsense and unbelievable. I need to think clearly. Besides, there are so many people here talking about things, so it's hard to speak out.
He smiled at him, stood up, said hello to everyone, and said with a smile: It's okay! I was confused when I slept. I had a nightmare just now. When I woke up, I couldn't tell whether I was in a dream or not.
Reality.
Zhao Dakui nodded and said: Do you want to eat something and take a rest? It seems that you are too tired.
I shook my head, thinking about changing the topic quickly, and asked: What are you looking at? By the way, Lao Zhu, how did you resist?
Zhu Kaihua was still angry that I had attacked him unexpectedly. He rolled his eyes at me and said, "I don't want to talk to you. I, Old Zhu, am so powerful, how dare you think of me dead!"
I won’t say anything else for now. I ate something and while eating, I listened to Zhu Kaihua talk about their experience last night. After he found a mummy in the house and the bugs in the mummy turned into butterflies, he splashed water on everyone to wake them up.
And wear a gas mask, of course, this mask is limited.
He didn't mean to wet my clothes with urine and cover my mouth and nose. It was because he ran out of water in the kettle.
After that, a group of them ran away, but they got separated in the process.
Afterwards, it was Zheng Bishan who was the first to notice abnormalities in his body. Because the old man had a bad stomach, he was the first to realize that the feeling in his stomach was different, so he vomited and naturally spit out the bugs, thus saving their lives.
As for the subsequent experience, it was similar to that of Zhao Dakui and me.
As for those who are not in the tent now, their bodies have been found and buried.
When Zhu Kaihua said this, the whole tent fell into silence. No one would be happy about the loss of troops before the victory was achieved.
Once the atmosphere got down, everyone just kept smoking. No matter whether our makeshift team was on the same page or not, at least we had the same purpose and we had been getting along for a while.
I don't know what they think, but I guess it's similar. - They died this time because I was lucky, but next time, will it be me?
Since ancient times, no one has ever died, and who is not afraid of death?
Zhu Kaihua's carelessness could still play a role in relieving the situation. He stamped out the butt of his cigarette and cursed: "Look at how lifeless you are. If you're afraid of death, don't come here. If something goes wrong now, no one wants to, but you have to think about it."
The solution is not to keep your head down and you won’t die?
After saying that, he pinched his waist, raised his eyebrows angrily, and said word by word: Now, if you want to get out, get out! What a stupid thing!
Zheng Bishan's apprentice held his arms and lowered his head and said: You said it lightly, I want to leave now, but you can find a way out of the forest.
Before Zhu Kaihua could get angry, Zheng Bishan stood up and kicked him, cursing: "Shame on you!"
But I couldn't understand. What on earth did they do while I was sleeping? I stared at Zheng Bishan's disciple who just spoke and asked: What do you mean by that? What does it mean?
Can't get out?
When I asked, the atmosphere suddenly turned cold again, and several people lowered their heads and remained silent.
I felt that the atmosphere was weird, so I said: What do you mean?! Talk!
However, everyone seemed to have their own concerns, as if they wanted to avoid my topic. This made me angry. Is this trying to isolate me? I glared at the buck-toothed Si and said: Si, if you admit
Brother Sanliang, just tell me what’s going on!
Buck-toothed Si looked at me and then at the rest of them, but he still hesitated to speak. I glared at him and said: Si, if you don't tell me, my brothers will no longer regard you as their brother!
Buck Teeth Si gritted his teeth and said: Brother Sanliang, it's not that we want to hide it from you, the main thing is that it's okay if you don't know, and you'll be upset if you know.
After saying that, he sighed and gritted his teeth and said: When you were asleep, we went out and walked around, and found that we couldn't get out of the forest. If we walked forward, we couldn't turn back at all. Even if we turned back, we couldn't turn out. It was equivalent to being sleepy.
Died in the woods.
Can't get out?
I said: Is this impossible? Zhao Dakui, when you came here, didn’t you mark the way?
Zhao Dakui smiled bitterly and shook his head: I don't know. I can't get out even if I follow the marks. Don't ask me why, I don't know. Anyway, no matter what we do, we just wander around in the forest.
I said: What about your map?
Zhao Dakui unfolded it and pointed to the forest. When I saw it, it was just a rough arrow and there was no detailed route at all.
At this time, Zheng Bishan, who had always had a dark face, said: "This forest is actually a formation. You must have watched The Couple of Condor Heroes, and you know the Peach Blossom Formation on Peach Blossom Island, right? Once people go in, they can't find the formation eye.
I'm fascinated by it. I guess if I'm right, it should be the same here.
I said: Well, old man, since you know, I have heard of the formation thing, but since it is a formation, can it be cracked? The Bagua formation also has the door of life and death, right?
Zheng Bishan shook his head and said with a bitter smile: My old man really doesn't understand this. To break this Qimen Dunjia, it will take those old men from the Feng Shui Association.
What I heard was that Feng Shui Association? It seems that Nana’s Fifth Uncle is the director of this so-called Feng Shui Association? But now we have no way to go or retreat, and there is no way to ask Uncle Five for help, right? Moreover, the old man seems to be right.
These things about my father are very taboo.
I asked: Is there no way at all?
Zheng Bishan said: I heard a very senior senior say that in many ancient tombs, there are such formation designs. In addition to having a map, a layman will most likely be trapped to death if he falls into it. However,
You have to say that there is no way, but there is still something. To use the words of that senior, to break the formation, one must either be proficient in the formation or have a brain disease.
If we are proficient in formations, we don't have to think about it. I don't know what it means to say that the brain is sick, but there are no such talents among us, right?
What he said sounded familiar to me. He seemed to be my second brother, who once told me similar things. Formations are nothing more than blinders. They confuse your brain without you realizing it. But let’s think about it.
If you are sick, wandering around in a daze, and letting you blind your eyes in every possible way, I am just a fool, what can you do to me?
A sudden inspiration flashed in my heart, I patted my head and suddenly realized: Yes, Mr. Zheng, although we have normal brains, we can pretend to be idiots! Ah, no, we are not pretending to be idiots.
They all looked at me, and I couldn't describe my thoughts. After sorting out my thoughts, I continued: What Mr. Zheng said is that the formation is to deceive things with intentions, but
When you meet a fool, you have to deal with the unintentional one.
The reason why we can't get out now is because all our ideas have been calculated by the people who set up the formation. We might as well get out without looking at the map and just go for it with the thinking of an idiot.
As soon as I finished speaking, their eyes lit up. Zhu Kaihua was even more exaggerated. He directly picked up his backpack and said: Xiao Sanliang, it seems that your IQ is very good! Let's go! Let's try to feel like idiots.
We just did what we said. Zhao Dakui put away the map and packed his backpack. When we walked out of the tent, I looked back and realized that the tent was quite well set up and looked more like a temporary shack.
He smiled and said: Are you still in the mood to set up such a big tent?
He bucked his teeth and said with a smile: We are all ready to fight a protracted war in this forest. Mr. Zheng said that if such a formation is installed in this forest, it will be a dead end for us.
When I was about to walk, I asked: What does dead end mean? Tell me about it.
Buck Teeth Four: According to what Mr. Zheng means, we can't get out of this forest during the day. The only chance is at night to find a way out in the direction of the Big Dipper. This way out, whether it is to find the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum or to exit.
, they will definitely be able to get out of this forest.
But at night, there is poisonous gas. It is impossible for us to wander around in the forest. That is to say, we now have gas masks. For the ancients, almost all of them would die if they entered the forest.
That is to say, we need to protect ourselves from poison gas at night, so we built a shed like this to make it safer at night.
