Chapter 49: The Gap
At that time, I didn't have any concept of the ancient tomb, let alone any knowledge of the structure of the ancient tomb, let alone taboos and the like, and with the poor historical knowledge that I had as a junior high school student at that time, it was even more impossible for me to make any relevant judgments about the characteristics of the ancient tomb. ()
The three of us, at that time, used the most humble things, and walked forward in the cemetery like this, all we could use was an oil lamp, some agarwood beads, a tiger claw that didn't know how to use, a flower that had already wilted a little, a kitchen knife, a rolling pin, a few steamed buns, and a pot of water.
Although I am a metaphysical student, Ling Ruyue is a descendant of Gu art, and Crispy Meat is a fat man who fights well, but our ability to survive in the ancient tomb is not even comparable to that of an experienced tomb robber.
And this situation is not the worst, the worst thing is that I don't even know that my fortune is at the lowest point, as long as there is some slight possibility, everything will go in the fastest direction.
The tomb path seemed to be parallel, but there was a subtle downward slope, and the three of us didn't know it at first, it was a visual game, until we walked for a full three minutes, and when Crispy Meat turned around, he saw that we had started to stand there, and we were almost out of sight.
"Sanwa'er, I thought I was walking straight, you see?" The crispy meat grabbed me and made me look back.
Ling Ruyue also noticed this problem, her little mouth pursed, and she whispered, "Why did the fat brother find out first?" ”
As soon as she said this, my face became ugly, if you want to talk about Lingjue, Ling Ruyue and I are stronger than crispy meat, why didn't we find out? Don't think that the so-called spiritual consciousness is to find ghosts, gods, and so on.
The specific explanation of psychic sense is that it can detect subtle changes in the surroundings with a sense, which is a kind of human sensing ability, which is the sixth sense in scientific terms.
Crispy Meat is still unconvinced, arguing with Ling Ruyue, why can't I find out first, but my mood has been gloomy, because spiritual sense is almost my biggest reliance, if it doesn't work at this time, we will be very dangerous in the tomb.
Could it be caused by opening the Eye of Heaven just now? I thought about my thoughts, and moved forward, my dullness caused Crispy Meat and Ling Ruyue to stop making a fuss, but at this moment, Crispy Meat grabbed me, and his face was anxious like never before, and Ling Ruyue's little face also turned pale at that moment.
"What for?" Suddenly pulled like this, and didn't speak, I was a little angry, this is not an inexplicable fire provoked by evil things, but the environment, pressure, and cranky thoughts of various psychological reasons combined, angry!
In a dangerous environment, or even an unusually simple ritual event, there is one of the biggest taboos, that is, the Dao heart is unstable, and laughing and scolding on weekdays is a form of venting and expression, which can stabilize a Dao heart.
This is a very simple process of stripping, if the emotions can't be followed, and there is a lot of backlog, the heart will be buried. Therefore, often the real cultivators are not the fairy wind and Dao bones described on TV, they are more direct.
But at this time, there is a huge gap in my heart, which shows how bad my personal situation is.
"Sanwa'er, see for yourself." Probably frightened by my nameless fire, Crispy Meat cautiously pointed to the ground and said.
I looked down and saw that there was no way under my feet! Below is a hill with a height of almost 2 meters, and what is under the ridge is dark, but it is dark and gloomy.
At that moment, I had a feeling that the fine hairs on my back were about to stand up, not because of how terrifying the hurdles were, but because there were hurdles under my feet, and I didn't even know it!
"I didn't find out either, but fortunately, the fat brother stopped me." Ling Ruyue's face hadn't recovered yet, obviously people were consciously going down, and falling unconsciously were two results, we all know this.
Why is this happening? My confusion grew deeper and deeper, as if I had a breath in my chest.
"I thought there was a way, look ahead." As he spoke, he pointed ahead, and a bridge appeared in front of him, and there were two sculptures standing on the bridge, but with the dim light of the oil lamp, it was impossible to see what the sculpture was.
This gap appears in front of the connection point between the bridge and this tomb road, and at this time this tomb road presents a strange upward angle, and this gap happens to be in the middle, which is a visual blind spot, if you don't pay attention, it is really not easy to find.
As for what's on the other side of the bridge, I can't see it anymore.
The gap is not deep, but the width is not something we can blow, there is no wind in the tomb, and it is difficult for me to judge whether the bridge is empty or not, in short, in my personal opinion, this tomb is too complicated, there is a long tomb road, and there is even a bridge.
"Sanwa'er, I don't think you and Ruyue are wrong, who came to this kind of place, aren't you careful? Why are you all like you're being fascinated by ghosts, and this gap is at your feet, and you haven't even noticed it? Crispy Meat said with some dissatisfaction.
Ling Ruyue and I glanced at each other, but we were speechless, in fact, we didn't know the reason at that time.
I can only explain by opening my eyes, and Ling Ruyue can only explain that she is too distracted to command Hua Feifei, she doesn't know at all, because the ghost who blocked the way was killed, and the venom that Hua Feifei spit out was also counted on her cause and effect.
"Forget it, let's take a break." I was a little helpless, so I took the kettle and poured myself a big mouthful, and then closed my eyes and silently recited the master's elaborate mantra in my heart.
They didn't understand why I was so tired all of a sudden, so I could only wait silently, and the atmosphere was even more dreary for a while.
After a long while, after reciting the mantra seven times in silence, I opened my eyes and said, "You see, we can't go straight because we can't jump through this gap." ”
"And then?" Crispy asked, apparently the horrible laughter still lingering in his heart, and he was reluctant to go back at this moment.
"We're staying here?" Ling Ruyue interjected and said, obviously all the things in this hungry ghost tomb had made her lose her curiosity and excitement at the beginning, especially her repeated 'mistakes'. It's a very uncomfortable feeling.
Lingjue is important to a Taoist priest, but for a Gu magician, why is it not important?
"Or we'll go back?" Crispy Meat said the most reluctant choice, he didn't want to, so he said it.
I shook my head and said, "We have a third option, and that's to go down!" ”
Indeed, this is also a choice, on the surface, it is the best choice to stop here, it is better to take a step back and go back, people are always full of horror about the unknown, not to mention the dark and dull gap that appears in the ancient tomb.
"What do you say? Sanwa'er, are you crazy? Crispy Meat shouted involuntarily.
"No, it feels like burying yourself!" Ling Ruyue's words were obviously much sharper, making people even more creepy.
"No, I'm doing this for a reason, do you know the formation? Don't go to the metaphysical aspect, it's a formation that can be used by people who have a little bit of architectural spirit, I think this tomb road is too weird, we follow the road, maybe we will get lost in the formation, and we can't get out. "This is one of my judgments, of course, I am also a little sure, the formation loves to play the most visual games, taking advantage of people's various visual blind spots.
If a road presents such characteristics, it can basically be judged as a formation.
"This reason doesn't work, Sanwa'er, you can't convince me to go down for this reason." Crispy Meat pointed to the dark hole.
"Listen to me! Any formation has a birth gate, this kind of birth gate is not necessarily a very direct road or something, it may also be a hint, do you see that bridge? Do you know that the basic structure of the bridge is to have piers, that is to say, the lower part of the open bridge needs a certain amount of space, have you ever built a bridge with an arc on flat ground? Have you seen it? "Actually, I'm not proficient in architecture, it's just basic common sense.
After reciting the meditation mantra, the mind has calmed down, and it can be analyzed in detail.
"But what does it matter? I can go back, or I can just stay where I am. "Crispy felt that it didn't matter at all.
"Yes, third brother, what does it matter?" Ling Ruyue was also puzzled.
"With my superficial understanding of the formation, generally this formation is to confuse, in order to protect something, I don't know about the ancient tomb, I just judge through these, the real ancient tomb is under this tomb road, so this is the reason why I want to go down, this gap must be artificial!" I finally spoke my full judgment!
