Chapter 152 Chapter Thirty-Five

This is something I didn't expect. I wanted to tie everyone up with a rope so that nothing would go wrong.God knows that the Dragon Gate Formation is too weird, it won't work even if it is tied with a rope, and what should be missing will still disappear.The person was right behind me, only half a step away, but I didn't have the slightest awareness of what happened behind me just now. We parked on a rocky mountain, and the cold wind blows from time to time, no matter how thick the clothes are, it doesn't work.I lowered my head and looked down the mountain, where there were dense old forests and clouds and mist.If the plum tea falls, we can't see it from above, we have to go down to be sure.But if the plum tea really falls, even if I don't feel it, Mu Qingxiang and Li Xiaobei who are tied to the same rope should always be aware of it.

Li Xiaobei asked me in disbelief: "Xiaolu, did you really not pay attention to what's behind you at all? Plum tea won't disappear out of thin air, right?" I swore: "I really didn't feel it. If you didn't remind me just now, I thought plum tea was following." "Have you tied the rope tight?" Mu Qingxiang asked with a slight frown. I'm not sure about the others, the rope is definitely tied tightly, and it's not a technical job, so how could there be a mistake in tying the rope.Mu Qingxiang saw that I was so sure, so she didn't do too much, and decided to go back and look for someone.At this moment, we have been walking on the ancient brick path for more than ten minutes. Although the road is not long, staying on the steep rock for a second is frightening.Mu Qingxiang and I have the same idea, we must not abandon plum tea at this time, only Li Xiaobei is a little bit unwilling.

We leaned against the cold mountain rock and walked back step by step. The three of us kept an eye on each other from time to time along the way, lest someone else mysteriously disappear.As I walked, I thought happily, at first I was worried that Mu Qingxiang would disappear if she said that she didn’t see her, she didn’t need to look back, she still had feelings after all.Li Xiaobei expressed his reluctance, but kept urging me when he walked back, always thinking that my movements were too slow, wishing to kick me away. We walked a long way back, but we still didn’t see plum tea, so we had to worry, maybe we really fell down the mountain.I looked at the blue sky, the red wheel was moving westward, and the lead cloud was coming, it was getting late.Before dark, we must walk down the rock, otherwise walking on the ancient road in the dark will be more dangerous than encountering the Longmen Formation.Li Xiaobei was also looking at the sky. After drinking, he was always optimistic. He also said that it doesn't matter if it gets dark, and if he can't fight, he will go back to the valley for the night.While talking, we were almost back to the starting point of the ancient brick trail, but the plum tea was still missing.

I asked Mu Qingxiang suspiciously: "How did the Dragon Gate Formation come about? There must be a reason, right?" Li Xiaobei rushed to answer: "The top priority now is to find Lao Mei, and it won't help if you hold on to this problem." But Mu Qingxiang said patiently: "The specific reason is hard to say clearly. The husband who carried her back in the past couldn't eat well, and when he traveled long distances with heavy loads, his body couldn't bear it. Walking on this ancient road, he was prone to dizziness, which may be why he often stumbled and fell off the cliff. "

I think this explanation is more reasonable, at least not close to superstition, but it doesn't make sense when it is put on plum tea, after all, the rope untied itself.Meizicha has to go back to save her son, and she is not tired of work, so she has no reason to untie the rope and jump off the cliff to die.Near the valley exit, the ancient road gradually widened again, and the speed of walking back was much faster.I was still worried about whether I would bump into the big tea ape when I went back. After all, I knocked it out just now, and a fierce battle would be inevitable. I was about to walk to the starting point, and my heart was hanging in my throat. I was afraid that I would not see plum tea, and I would not be able to explain to his wife and children when I went back.Strangely, when we returned to the exit of the valley, Meizicha was really standing there, not as dead as expected.

Li Xiaobei asked anxiously: "Meizicha, why did you come back alone, didn't you tell you to follow along?" Plum Tea seemed to be grabbing a life-saving straw, and shouted: "Where have you been, I'm so anxious!" I was stunned for a moment, thinking that we should be the ones who asked this question, why did I run out of the mouth of the plum tea first.I couldn't help being curious, and asked, "What happened just now? You were clearly behind me, but why did you come back to where you were without making a sound?" Meizicha is confused and blind, asking him is worse than asking the gods.After being silent for a while, Meizicha said again: "What are you talking about, where am I now? Are you in the forest now?"

You ask me, I ask you, such a conversation is meaningless.Seeing this, Mu Qingxiang told the story. Meizicha knew that Mu Qingxiang couldn't joke, so she believed that Li Xiaobei and I didn't lie to him.It's a pity that the plum tea couldn't see anything. He recalled it for a while, only remembering that I was still in front at the moment before, and then the rope around his waist was loosened.Meizicha yelled a few times, but couldn't hear the answer, and went forward to feel, but couldn't find anyone.Because he was worried about falling off the cliff, he just stood there and waited for us.After nearly half an hour, Meizicha stood alone in the same place. He even thought that we had encountered a Longmen formation, and all three of us fell down the mountain.

No one can explain what happened just now. Anyway, the person was found and is still alive, so I don't want to go into it.I was about to tie the rope to the plum tea again, when I saw his hands, I was very surprised.Meizicha's hands were covered with blood, and the nails on ten fingers were all broken. Although it was not a serious injury, seeing the bloody fingers made one feel chilled. I hurriedly asked Meizicha: "Brother, what's wrong with your finger, it's bleeding so much, doesn't it hurt?" Meizicha took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice: "Of course it hurts. After you disappeared, I couldn't see again. At that time, I just felt that someone grabbed my hand and tore it hard. It hurt me to death."

Li Xiaobei leaned close to Meizicha's hands and stuck out his tongue: "I said, Lao Mei, what have you done? Who made your hands like this? If you can't see it, you should be able to hear it, smell it, and touch it." Got it?" Meizicha said distressedly: "I really don't know. After you disappeared just now, I was in a mess. When my fingers hurt, I thought it was the tea monkey chasing up again." Mu Qingxiang didn't say anything else, after discovering the wound, she immediately found the white gauze, and wanted to make a simple bandage for the plum tea.As the saying goes, the cross connects the heart, and if the finger is injured, it will hurt the heart.I raised my hands and looked at it, thinking that I must wear gloves later, at least it can play a protective role.Mu Qingxiang is very skilled, when he bandages the plum tea, the plum tea doesn't feel pain, and I don't know if he is trying to be brave.

This time, I didn't dare to let plum tea go behind, and he didn't dare to do so either.With me at the back, why is Li Xiaobei at the front, with Mu Qingxiang and Meizicha walking in the middle.Along the way, we were all talking, even Mu Qingxiang, who had the fewest words, kept talking.The purpose of doing this is to let us know at all times that everyone is still around and no one mysteriously disappears. The ancient brick path went up and down like a roller coaster. I wondered why the ancients had no brains, so they went around.Finally at dusk, we walked from the cliff to the ground, and the four of us were about to turn into popsicles.However, Li Xiaobei and I were the only ones yelling that it was cold, and Mu Qingxiang and plum tea didn't feel anything.I asked Plum Tea if he felt unwell, but he still said it was all right, and told me not to worry about him anymore.

When we came to the ground, we found that every tree in the forest pierced the sky, towering into the clouds, even more spectacular than the original forest.There is no road in the forest. If you want to open a road and go in, you will not be able to walk to the end in three days.I thought it was going to be dark, and it was not suitable to stay in the forest for the night, it would be better to go from the edge of the forest to the end.Going around in a circle from the bottom of the mountain, although it seems that the journey is longer, at least you will not get lost. Li Xiaobei picked up a flashlight, shined it into the forest, and said, "Oh my god, there is still sunlight, and the forest is so dark. I think it's better to follow Xiaolu's advice and go around the edge of the forest. Let's not grab it." That little time." Meizicha said with a wry smile: "It's up to you to decide, I can't see it now, it doesn't matter if it's dark or not." I asked Mu Qingxiang if she agreed, but she said in a wrong way: "There is movement in the forest." I looked into the forest suspiciously, and found nothing unusual except for the thick branches of ancient trees that were crowded into piles.I just wanted to listen carefully, but I heard someone next to me sneer, looking around, but no one laughed.The voice was weird, it was not the voice of the four of us, except for me, the three of them also admitted that they heard laughter just now.The vegetation at the foot of the mountain was extremely tall, and I was afraid that someone would be ambushing, so I picked up a stick and poked it into the grass and bushes, but I didn't find anything weird. At this time, hundreds of big birds flew in the sky, and I looked up at the sky strangely, wondering where the flock of birds came out, maybe they were going to spend the winter in a warm place, but is it too late now?Immediately, I felt a sense of panic. Could it be that there was a crisis in the forest, and the birds that had built their nests were forced to fly away.As soon as I thought of this, I saw another wave of birds flying by, and the density was almost covering the sky, and there were a thousand if not ten thousand. Li Xiaobei became angry: "Hey, hey, why do I feel that something is wrong, get out first, don't stand here foolishly!" I nodded and said, "Okay, let's go now!" However, as soon as the words were finished, the whole forest was in chaos, not to mention the flying flying from the trees, the whole forest was rustling.I forced myself to calm down, don't panic at this time, maybe it's just the wind blowing through the forest.Mu Qingxiang told us to go back to the ancient road without any haste, don't rush forward, it can cause commotion in the whole forest, this is by no means an ordinary danger.Li Xiaobei scolded angrily, why didn't the danger happen sooner, but waited until we arrived. As soon as this sentence was finished, there was another sneer around us, which was more creepy than the laughter of the tea monkey.I heard this laughter very clearly, it could not have come from afar, the person who made the laughter was near us.However, the forest and the grass are far away from us, and there are open spaces all around. If the laughter comes from a little farther away, we will definitely be able to distinguish it.It was impossible for the four of us to laugh like that, so Li Xiaobei guessed whether he had encountered a ghost, or there were transparent people in the world. Seeing that we were talking endlessly, Mu Qingxiang immediately urged: "Quickly go back to the ancient road, try to go as high as possible!" "I have to go back again, isn't this trip in vain?" Li Xiaobei said reluctantly. I could see that the commotion in the forest was like a wave, pushing on and on, and it was almost here.Mu Qingxiang asked Li Xiaobei to go up first, and then helped the plum tea to the ancient road, and told us not to stop.In fact, Mu Qingxiang didn't know what was going on with the commotion in the forest, anyway, avoid it first.When I saw this, I was so anxious that I didn't even have time to tie the rope, so I followed them up.When we walked to the higher ancient road, the commotion in the forest came from far to near, and a loud noise came. I hurriedly urged Li Xiaobei to leave quickly, for fear that the monsters in the forest were about to come out to eat people, Li Xiaobei wanted to retaliate, looked down and took a deep breath, and said, "Fuck, what happened?"
