Chapter 43: The Stone Bridge
After all the hardships to come here, everyone was uplifted at the first sight of hope.
The blind man walked forward quickly, and from time to time he shouted to us to speed up.
At first, I was excited, but gradually, I felt that something was wrong.
I am a layman in Feng Shui, but a blind man is an expert in the insider.
While he was on it, he looked at it for a long time, and finally said that the situation here was beyond his understanding.
But why, after coming down, did he conclude that this was the Extreme Yin Land?
The most wrong thing is that he was so excited, as if it was not me who wanted to see Xu Jie the most, but him.
The key point is that the further I go, the more indescribable I feel.
It feels as if there is an intangible and tasteless substance that surrounds us, and it is constantly changing as we move forward......
At last I couldn't help but take two steps to catch up with the blind man and ask:
"Where is this going?"
The blind man kept at his feet, turned his face and looked at me strangely, "Of course it's looking for someone!" ”
I was stunned and didn't know what to say.
He's right, we're here to find people.
But why do I feel even more unsteady when he says that?
Seeing that the blind man was moving faster and faster, we had to keep up.
After about a cigarette, I came to an underground river.
The river is about three zhang wide, the river water is black and heavy, and at the same time, it exudes an indescribable fishy smell.
Dou Dabao looked around, and said that except for the tomb that came down, there seems to be no place to hide people, could it be that Xu Jie is on the other side of the river?
I have the same thoughts as him at the moment, but looking at the black and oppressive river, I can't help but feel difficult, how to cross the distance of three zhang wide?
"It seems to be a lot warmer here than outside."
Pan Ying suddenly said this, her eyes rolled, she walked to the river and squatted down, stretching out her hand to fish for river water. It seems that he wants to test the temperature of the river and plans to swim over.
"Don't move!" The blind man screamed violently, rushed up and pulled her up behind him.
was shocked by his sudden roar, not only Pan Ying was startled, but Dou Dabao and I were also a little dazed.
The blind man seemed to realize that he had overreacted, and breathed a sigh of relief:
"The river is so black, who knows what's in it? Just follow me, and don't act rashly. ”
Pan Ying blinked twice, pulled out the hand she was holding, took two steps back, and nodded.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but when she blinked, I seemed to see another familiar gaze in her eyes.
But that gaze was fleeting, so I'm not sure if I'm dazzled.
The blind man stood there and slowly closed his eyes.
After a while, he opened his eyes and walked along the riverbank in one direction without saying a word.
I hesitated for a moment and beckoned Dou Dabao and Pan Ying to follow him, but deliberately fell behind and stood side by side with Dou Dabao.
"Do you see anything?" I asked Dou Dabao in a whisper.
Dou Dabao was stunned, "What are you looking at?" ”
I pouted at the blind man's back.
Dou Dabao looked at me suspiciously, stared at the blind man for a while, and shook his head.
"Follow him." Pan Ying suddenly said lightly.
Hearing her tone, Dou Dabao and I looked at her at the same time.
But she avoided our gaze and staggered on as if nothing had happened.
I felt that my brain was getting more and more confused, but I couldn't find a clue, so I had to follow forward with Dou Dabao.
The meat floss lost the excitement just now, and just followed me inch by inch.
After walking forward for a while, the blind man in front of him suddenly stopped.
I hurried up and followed his gaze, subconsciously holding my breath.
Not far ahead, by the river, there was actually a figure squatting!
I was about to ask the blind man with my eyes what to do, but he walked quickly over to the figure.
I feared for his safety, so I hurried to keep up.
When I walked up to the figure, I realized that it was not a squatting person at all, but a stone statue.
This stone statue is very crudely carved, but it is also very peculiar.
It turned out to be a short old lady image.
Because I was originally going to spend the night at the Gray Fairy Temple last night, the first thing I thought of was the Gray Fairy Gu.
But it soon became clear that there was a certain gap between the two images.
Although the appearance of the gray fairy girl is strange, it is not unpeaceful.
And the appearance of this stone statue by the river is just an ordinary old woman, the old woman is expressionless, giving people an indifferent feeling of penetrating the world.
"How can there be a stone statue here? Who is this old woman? Dou Dabao couldn't help but ask.
I shook my head, indicating I didn't know.
Looking at the blind man again, his eyes did not linger on the stone statue, but walked slowly to the river with his hands behind his back, silently looking at the other side.
He stood there like a stone statue, motionless for a full minute.
At this time, even Dou Dabao saw that something was wrong, and secretly made an inquiring look at me.
I was so puzzled that I couldn't help but want to step forward and ask clearly, but Pan Ying seemed to inadvertently take a diagonal step and block in front of me.
I was wondering what she meant, when suddenly I heard a noise in the river.
The sound wasn't loud at first, just "gurgling", like bubbles bubbling under the water.
But soon, the sound began to be violent, and it seemed that there were countless big fish in the water churning incessantly.
Dou Dabao and I looked at the river at the same time, only to see the dark and dreary water constantly rippling, but we couldn't see what was in the clear water.
Just when I was in doubt, an unbelievable scene appeared.
The surface of the river seems to be slowly cut off from the bottom to the top by some behemoth, and the river quickly separates to both sides.
In just half a minute, a bridge appeared on the river!
"Yay?! How could a bridge appear for no reason?! Pan Ying's eyes widened in astonishment.
Looking at her expression, it was by no means like a posturing, but really surprised and curious.
When the underwater sound died down and the bridge deck was firmly on the river, I felt even more incredible.
This bridge that emerged from under the river is still a stone bridge!
"Let's go!"
The blind man didn't explain, but seemed a little impatient.
The next moment, he made an even more strange move.
He actually walked over, took Pan Ying's hand, and turned around and walked towards the bridge.
And Pan Ying didn't react at all, so he pulled him over.
Dou Dabao and I glanced at each other, and were just about to follow on the bridge, when suddenly I heard a soft woman's voice say in my ear:
"You two, follow in their footsteps, don't make mistakes, otherwise you will be worried about your life."
"Hiss......" Dou Dabao obviously heard this voice as well, and looked at me with wide bull's eyes.
Hearing this voice, my heart suddenly stirred, it was Di Jinlian!
After a little hesitation, I saw that the blind man had already pulled Pan Ying to the bridge.
I didn't think much about it, so I bent down to pick up the meat floss and pulled Dou Dabao to chase after me.
The blind man and Pan Ying didn't look back, they just went hand in hand and got on the bridge.
I kept an eye on the blind man's footsteps and soon noticed something peculiar.
The blind man walked very slowly, and seemed to think for a moment with each step, and then take another step.
His foothold is not a straight line, but a deliberate landing in a specific position.
Looking at Pan Ying again, it seems that she has a heart with him, and her steps are also slow and strange.
I glanced at Dou Dabao, and the two of them stepped onto the bridge along the foothold of the two at the same time.
As soon as I stepped on it, a strong strange feeling suddenly filled my body.
This feeling is either sudden or the previous feeling of being surrounded by an invisible substance.
It was only the moment I stepped on the bridge deck that became more intense, and as soon as I stepped on it, I seemed to feel a breath of qi floating on the soles of my feet, guiding me to step on the point where the blind man had just stepped on.
Although the blind man and Pan Ying walked slowly, I didn't dare to take it lightly. Subconsciously grabbed Dou Dabao's hand, while observing the blind man's foothold, he followed the strange feeling and stepped forward.
Gradually, I began to realize that this was not a stone bridge in the true sense of the word.
Judging by the feeling of stepping on it, the bridge deck should be just a thin layer of stone slabs.
And under the slate is a buoyancy that is not very stable.
This should be a pontoon bridge.
What made such a strange pontoon bridge?
What puzzled me even more was how the blind man 'summoned' the bridge......
