C14

I was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, I saw a flash of white light from the corner of my eye. Just as he was about to stop, he felt pain in his chest.

Damn it... I didn't even have time to rub my chest before I cried out and my body fell to the side!

The figure that had disappeared behind me stood next to me with the shovel.

Fortunately, I was able to dodge fast enough. The shovel hit the ground, leaving me stunned for a moment. There was no sound, but judging from the undulations from behind, he knew that it was definitely not going to end well.

"Dammit," I thought to myself, "isn't this bullying? I'll fight it out with you! "

I drew the knife from my belt and wound it around his back. The track is only so wide, can you turn it?

I don't know if I can turn around. Before I could swing the knife at the neck, I saw the thing sway twice, and the whole body topple forward and crash to the ground with a loud thud.

A rumble is my brain. However, looking at the dust on the ground from the fall of his body, he knew that it was definitely not light. I covered my nose. Just now, when the dust rose up, I couldn't hear it. I didn't know if it was because of this grain or not, but it could be treated like a little bit of dust.

As soon as the dust settled, I turned and walked away, catching a glimpse of the place in the light where the pulley had been connected. It was an iron pair of boots with aged blood inside. From the bottom of the boots, it was full of barbs that had also turned yellow. The whole area of the spikes was dyed rust red. It was unknown if it was real rust or blood red. A yellowish bone was inserted in the middle, and a portion of it had already pierced into the bone. After such a long period of time, it was as if it had melded into a single entity.

I have a slight pain in my foot. He could vaguely guess the "true identity" of these people.

Since the Qin Dynasty, there had been a form of punishment called "centipede hook". If a person's hands and feet were put into a protective gear with spikes on them, they would be pierced through the skin by force of the handle and the foot. When the torture device was put into place, the prisoner would then be required to lie on all fours like a pig or dog, with his feet and hands like a centipede. The thorns within would move in accordance with the movements of the body. In the end, his body wouldn't be as clingy as it was now, and his damage would be doubled. The ten fingers were connected to the roots of his heart. The sole of his foot was pierced through by the boot, but the blood could only flow through the boot until the boot was soaked through. This was the rootless foot, different from the earth. The ten fingers were connected to the heart. This was a heart-wrenching journey. And because …

It was terrible. I couldn't help but tremble a little before looking at the other one below. My heart had a slight trace of sympathy for him.

The time of the sentence's disappearance was immeasurable, except that it had been invented by a prison official called Coriander in the Qin Dynasty.

I don't know what I did wrong. I turned and left.

That person's bones were obviously broken inside, it was very brittle, and the weight of the axe was still fine, but the moment he moved, something happened which was not that surprising.

No matter how powerful the mechanism was, after nearly a thousand years, it was already spent. Furthermore, this was not a mechanism, but a person.

I turned and walked on.

I leaned to one side, and on the other, the other two tumbled to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Dust to dust, dust to dust. You can't go back without taking root.

Defend." However, one person had vanished.

I turned my head one last time and walked over with the flashlight on.

The thing I was most confused about should be why I was in this damned place. Anyone who wakes up to discover that they are being buried alive would be scared half to death, not to mention that the one who buried me alive is not a human, but a corpse.

Thinking about the scene from earlier. I feel a little weak on the soles of my feet.

The main point now was to find out what kind of relationship Wei Yuting had. As for my ears. I comforted myself with the thought that it would be better to go out.

"Now it's interesting," I said, feeling a little forlorn as I came out of the square door.

The water channels on both sides of the river had almost dried up. A thick layer of black gas was piled up, emitting a slightly fishy smell.

Because the watch was completely out of control here (the needle was sucked out of the way), I could only go by the feel of it. But as soon as I got out, I found the road easy to understand.

The room I had just been in was at the end of the road. There were two tracks on the ground, deep marks.

I'll go this way.

"If I leave like this …" "And then?" As I talked to myself, I walked forward. The feeling in my heart was getting stronger, and I could hear faint rustling sounds in my ears.

"Fantasy," I said, and then I heard the faint sound of three words, floating, floating, not quite my own voice, "Fantasy."

The three words echoed in my ears. It was light, but it did exist.

My... God.

I fell into a state of ecstasy and almost staggered on the smooth ground.

Slowly?

I tried to clear my throat. He noticed that although the sound entering his ears was soft, it was still stable.

I was relieved, guessing I wouldn't have been able to hear anything that might have been related to what was in the room. Just come out now.

Put down a stone and another. I followed the tracks, about half a meter away.

There were no other entrances on either side, and I followed a single two-track route.

The idea in my mind is this:

According to the height of the four skeletons, which were less than 1.7 meters, the height of the entrance couldn't be lower than this entrance if one wanted to go in and out without breaking one's neck. So there was only one opening on the walls of that room, which meant that there was only one place to go in and out. There was no problem with that. I couldn't possibly have walked to this weird place in a dream, and once again suspected that it had something to do with the others. So the main thing was – the destination, or a point where the tracks connected, was where I had stayed before being moved.

I turned it over and thought there was nothing wrong with the logic, but it was just a way of thinking.

The problem arose quickly.

Maybe it was the terrain, but the higher I climbed, the more difficult it became for me, although there was no sign that the slope was too steep for me to climb. But I could feel that I had been walking up in a diagonal, every step of the way against friction.

The second problem was: The fork in the road.

At this point, the two tracks separated into two different directions. The two forks in front of him looked almost identical, but the icons on the cave entrance were different. I squinted at it with the flashlight.

Three bars on the left, three long horizontal lines; three bars on the right, cut off from the middle, two holes in a straight line, one on the left and one on the right, perpendicular to my path.

This pattern looked very familiar.

"Qian Sanliang, Kun Six Duan …" I began to mutter out of habit. This is the Song Dynasty Zhu Xi's "Zhou Yi's Intent" used to record the trigrams of the eight trigrams. A symbol used to record gossip in the eight trigrams.

The left gate was the trunk while the right gate was the core.

I silently cursed myself for being so dumb. I had completely forgotten about the rest of the students and didn't know which direction I had come from.

I thought about it and decided to take the main road.

In ancient times, it was the sky, while in ancient times, it was the earth. Therefore, the universe was a synonym for the heavens and the earth. I had just come up from below, and of course I was going up now.

I didn't hesitate to walk in the direction of the cave.

Perhaps it was due to luck that the God finally decided to look after me. When I forcefully resisted the desire to fall behind, I walked into the door under the symbol and stood firmly on the spot.

I looked in the direction from which I had come through the gate and saw that the one I had just come in was also a symbol, which meant that I could not remember what it meant. Looking from here, it was like using the path connecting the universe and the universe as the turning axis. The entire place was tilting. The height difference between the place I had just come up and my other hand was very obvious. No wonder I had to struggle so hard to climb up. This was almost the same as climbing a mountain.

With one last look, I turned and walked back down the road.

The two rails beneath his feet were like two ropes, leading him to where he needed to go. I didn't walk fast, but the path was short and straight to a spot of light.

I almost passed out. I switched off the flashlight, but the light was still there, bright and dazzling.

Holy shit, there's light here.

Two possibilities instantly appeared in my mind — first, I walked to the ground, and second, there was someone there!

I immediately thought of Wei Yuting and what the two of them were, although I didn't know why I was treated alone. But if both of them are safe, we'll have a better chance of getting something from here and making it home. My friendship started from my grandfather's generation, and Wei Yuting had a rather subtle ambiguous relationship with him. It was impossible to not be attentive here.

I quickened my pace. He smelled a familiar smell of meat, and immediately felt his nose go sour.

This is an army can, a red beef can. Wei Yuting had put several cans of this familiar smell inside her bag.

As I walked quickly, I could clearly hear the sound of my throat swallowing.

"Oh my god! We've finally found the organization! " I shouted.

I thought that the two of them weren't completely together, but in reality, only Wei Yuting was leaning over there in a daze, beside the canned food with the lid open.

This place looks extremely familiar. My travel bag is right there, and I haven't even moved my position. Three bags are piled together, Wei Yuting was staring at the fire heater in a daze.

I realized that the tracks had stopped here. No wonder we didn't notice when we came in. The two tracks were completely hidden in the darkness.

Wei Yuting was stirring the chopsticks. His shoulders shook. I realized at once that my loud voice had startled her. However, seeing her in such a tense mood, even if I were to quietly appear, she would probably collapse. Perhaps, even more so.

"You're back," Wei Yuting said as she turned around. "Why are your eyes so swollen?"

She whimpered and suddenly burst into tears.

"What do you mean and what do you mean... Did the two of them agree on this? When one comes back, the other goes away, they scare me to death. " After venting out her initial fear, her mood clearly improved a lot, "You've disappeared for two hours, what do you mean by scouting? Hungry, right? Want some?" She handed me the chopsticks, turned off the fire heater, and handed me the can through the towel.

"Hiss." The canned food was so happy that it was almost impossible to hold.

"Smells good," I said. Indeed, travelling has sisters is very important. "

"Actually, it's not that my cooking skills are good," Wei Yuting said, "The canned food is an army can, it has a good taste to begin with." She added, "My uncle was in the army, so he gave it to me." She winked at me.

I said as I ate, "Then where did they go?"

"From the direction where you came from," Wei Yuting said, "I thought you guys would run into each other."

A thought crossed my mind. I didn't run into him, and my path was a one-way street. He must have entered the "kun" road.

"He should be fine," Wei Yuting said. "When you left, he would occasionally send a signal back." She waved her watch. "Although the magnetic field here is rather strange, we can still use it to locate our target. Do you see that green dot? It's him."

I sat down and ate the can.

"You're back …" Wei Yuting smiled towards my back.

I turned my head around subconsciously.

Where was he? A large wooden figure appeared in front of me. Dark green moss hung from the broken sides of the rotten wood.

Those eyes were blood-red. I was shocked, "Yuting?!"

"Hmm?" She had already stood up and walked over.

I was shocked and frightened by her actions, "You, you, what are you doing?"

Wei Yuting held the can in her hand, "What do you want to eat?"

What the heck!

I looked at her, smiling sweetly as she took hold of the wooden arm. "We've already eaten."

Just as I was being blinded, the wooden arm lifted, and with a flip of my fingers, a few knots, I took hold of the can.
