I looked at Lao An, and suddenly I had a clearer consciousness. I realized that the reason why I entered this circle could not be a coincidence. Although I had had similar thoughts before, I had never been so sure as now.
.
"Then tell me, who can control my life?"
"Only you." Lao An put out the cigarette in his hand, stood up slowly, and opened a corner of the tent. It was still dark, and the mountains in the distance were covered in hazy moonlight and darkness. He seemed to be on his own.
The words seemed to be narrating to me, saying: "Life and death are really the most wonderful things. According to ancient Chinese legends, the Queen Mother of the West, the Lord of Kunlun, has the secret to longevity. Therefore, the Emperor of Zhou traveled thousands of miles to Kunlun to ask for it.
The art of immortality.”
"It's a cliché. Even Fan Tuan knows these things. Is there any newer topic?"
"If one day you truly understand the secret of immortality, then you will be one step closer to the truth." Lao An said: "I am not well-educated and can't make any big principles, but Confucius and Mencius, you should
You know that, right?"
"If you insist on treating me as a complete illiterate, there's nothing I can do about it."
"What would you think if I told you that they are all still alive?" Lao An put down the tent, turned to me and said something very seriously, which surprised me extremely.
"I can only think you are talking nonsense." I felt very bored. The trip to Kunlun Mountain made me know that there may be some facts in this world that I still don't know. However, I don't like those who always pretend to be incomprehensible.
, using some well-known figures in history as cover and gimmicks. Confucius, Mencius, Lao Zhuang, are all people who have been dead for many years. This is undisputed.
"You don't believe it, just because you don't understand." Lao An did not argue, looked at Biaozi who was still in a coma, and said to me: "Take a rest for a while. This operation has both success and failure. There are losses and gains. Just
Let's do this, we'll leave after dawn."
After walking out of the tent, I kept thinking about Lao An's words. He didn't seem to be talking nonsense. Although what he said was a bit outrageous, it made people think deeply.
The night passed like this, and nothing happened. After dawn, someone buried Yue Lun's body on the spot. This was impossible. It was impossible to bring a body back after traveling thousands of miles back and forth. What to do?
After finishing this, the team set off along the way we came. With relevant experience, the journey was much easier. However, it took a little effort to reach the entrance of the canyon. The sand wasps guarding the entrance were very deadly. The team was almost as strong as
He ran out in a hurry like a thief.
After walking far out of the canyon, I looked back and realized that there were still some secrets hidden in the mountains, but I didn't know if I would have a chance to come here again.
This glance was purely unintentional, but within sight, I seemed to see a figure on the mountain far away, staggering along the mountain road. I didn’t know if I saw it wrong. I immediately
Grab the binoculars.
I saw it right. There was indeed a person who seemed to be walking with something on his back. When I looked at it, I immediately caught Lao An's attention, and he also used a telescope to look at it. In a place like this, as long as traces of people are found, no matter it is
Everyone is worthy of attention. Lao An immediately asked the team to stop, but the distance to the opponent was too far, and we were not familiar with the surrounding terrain. Even if we chased him, we didn't know if we could catch him.
"Chase!" Lao An made an immediate decision, because judging from the direction, the man probably jumped out directly from the canyon.
All the people immediately divided into two parts and outflanked them from both directions. The distance was very long, and the road was difficult to walk. There was no guarantee that we could catch up with the other party. But it was difficult for us to go, and it was also difficult for the other party to go. I
While chasing, we kept observing with binoculars. The man appeared intermittently in the field of vision following the terrain, and he seemed not to notice that we were following him yet.
After chasing for at least two hours in the rugged terrain, Fan Tuan beside him was out of breath from exhaustion. The target disappeared from sight for about ten minutes. When he was observed again, the distance was not far away.
He was probably hindered by the complex and dangerous terrain ahead, so he walked very slowly. Fan Tuan and I chased him from this side, while Lao An and the others went around from the other direction. If nothing happens, the opponent will definitely be trapped by one of them.
People catch up.
Immediately afterwards, I frowned because I saw that the other person's back looked a little familiar. He was not strong and had long dirty hair. This reminded me of the time I visited the ruins of the ancient Yuantu Kingdom.
The man I caught up with in the river.
Is it him? I'm not entirely sure. I can only tell after catching up.
The road has indeed become very difficult to walk. One section is extremely dangerous. One side is a cliff close to the mountain, and the other side is a ditch at least a hundred meters deep. It is difficult to walk straight on this section of the road. You have to lean sideways and lean on your back.
I walked over the cliff little by little. Fortunately, this section of the road was not very long, about twenty meters. Fan Tuan tried his best to suck his big belly to avoid losing his center of gravity. I was very careful, not only paying attention to the road under my feet,
You still have to worry about him.
We finally reached the end of this dangerous road. Fan Tuan carefully stepped over the last bit of dangerous road. This should not have been a big problem. However, when he took one step forward, we suddenly felt
My vision went dark, and then, the shrill sound of horses roared in my ears like thunder, and then, the rumble of wheels, mixed with the neighing of horses, swooped over from the opposite side.
This is not the first time I have seen the phantom of an ancient chariot pulled by eight divine horses. Although I know that it is just a phantom, or an illusion caused by special reasons, but that illusion is so real.
It could be distinguished that a carriage really seemed to be ramming head-on. Especially for someone like Fan Tuan, who had no relevant experience, he was stuck at the end of a dangerous road. He suddenly panicked and involuntarily tried to dodge.
The road was extremely narrow to begin with. Although Fan Tuan was very nimble, but while dodging, his body hit the cliff behind. Such a fat body, with thick skin and flesh, and full elasticity, made Fan Tuan lose his temper.
He lost his balance and fell headlong into the abyss in front of him.
I stood behind him and was not greatly affected. But when Fan Tuan fell down, I pulled him up like a reflex, but he was too fat and weighed an astonishing amount. I had no room for buffering. I was dragged along by him.
I couldn't help but slide down the abyss at my feet. When I was in danger, I took out the ice ax stuck in my waist and smashed it hard. The ice ax hooked on the edge of the abyss. I held the ice ax in one hand and the ice ax in the other hand.
Fan Tuan, the veins on his forehead were exposed, and he had to exert all his energy to feed.
"This...this..." Fan Tuan finally woke up, and then he was frightened by the current situation. His legs could not help but tremble back and forth, and he stretched his head to look down.
, suddenly his face was covered with cold sweat.
"Don't move!" I said to him in a deep voice, holding my breath. It's hard to imagine how I was holding a fat man weighing more than 200 pounds with one hand and swinging on the edge of the cliff, even though I tried my best.
But the hand holding the ice ax was slipping little by little. The burden was too heavy, and no matter how strong my physical strength was, I couldn't support it.
What's even more terrible is that since the shadows of the eight divine horses appear at this moment, it is obvious that the person who is trying to control them is nearby. No matter who the opponent is, if they run over at this time, I have no room to fight back or resist. I
There was an indescribable feeling in my heart. In short, after entering the Kunlun Mountains, my luck was extremely bad. I wandered between life and death several times. I saw that I was about to leave here, but I encountered such a thing.
I don't know how to deal with it. If I want to survive, the only feasible way is to let go of my hand and throw Fan Tuan down. If there is no such heavy burden like him, I can definitely get up. This is the only feasible way.
However, it is difficult for me to do it because I have always regarded Fan Tuan as a friend.
Unknowingly, Fan Tuan swayed again, which made me very annoyed. It was already uncomfortable, and him tossing it like this only made it more difficult for me. But I didn't even have room to say anything, so I lowered my head and looked at him. It happened to be
, Fan Tuan also looked at me with his innocent eyes.
"Brother... I'm sorry." The sweat on Fan Tuan's face was pouring down like a waterfall, but he managed to squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying, and said: "I'm dragging you down again, that...
....Just let go.”
I couldn't answer him. I just thought that the only way was to leave him. He actually said it directly, which made me feel that my thoughts were dirty. Involuntarily, I grabbed the ice ax and added the last word.
A little force.
"Let go! You can still live!" Fan Tuan didn't seem to be hypocritical at all. He said anxiously: "If you drag it on, both of you will die! Brother, remember my name is Fan Tuan. If you are free in the future, give it to me.
Burn some hell coins, big denominations, I heard people say prices are too high over there..."
I really want to live, but my conscience keeps reminding me that I must not let go. I don't know how long I can hold on. This stubbornness keeps pushing Fan Tuan and I towards the gate of hell.
Just when I felt like I couldn't hold on anymore, a pair of feet appeared on the dangerous path above my head. I looked up hard, and sure enough, I saw that person.
He stared at me expressionlessly, but the eyes on his cold face betrayed him. His thoughts and emotions must be constantly fluctuating.
This person seems to have been in a state of hostility with me since he appeared. From pretending to be dead in the Dead Village to the sneak attack in the river at the Yuantu Ruins, it all shows that he has no good intentions towards me. At this moment, as long as he moves,
If we move, or even stand still, Fan Tuan and I will fall into a hundred-meter-deep cliff in the next few seconds, and fall into two puddles of rotten flesh that even our parents will not recognize.
