Chapter 203 The long wait
In fact, I can feel that Liu Qingyun is in a semi-crazy state at this time. In fact, from the first time I met Liu Qingyun to now, I have roughly guessed Liu Qingyun’s attitude towards this matter. Liu Qingyun is undoubtedly confused about this matter. On the one hand, he does not want the Liu family to be involved in the right and wrong. On the other hand, when someone finds him to throw an olive branch to him, he refuses and has no way to refuse. And it is obvious that although Liu Zhiyuan, the three children left by Liu Zhiyuan, are the new head of the Liu family, may be a good player in managing the family, he has absolutely no experience in dealing with this matter. The unknown dangers faced in the snowy mountains deep in Kunlun Mountains are definitely not something that can be dealt with with secular emotional intelligence.
He asked me what to do next, but in fact he didn't know what he was going to do next. The Liu family died here, and the most important thing was that he would definitely give that person a job after he went back. If he couldn't give that person a satisfactory explanation, I guess Liu Qingyun would definitely not be able to take it.
So, in the following time, Liu Qingyun looked very irritable. He kept smoking and stared at the temple in front of him. Xiao Liu had a constant fever. During this period, he woke up a few times and drank some water and continued to faint. Zhao Wuji also woke up. He was not clamoring to go to the cave, but he seemed to have lost his soul.
We stayed outside this temple for three days and three nights, and everything was so calm, as if we were not in a dangerous place, but came to a wild camping site. On the fourth day, Liu Qingshan said to us: "Most of the food we eat and use were left in the camp halfway. The weather outside was unpredictable. Even if we returned the same route, it would be hanging on the camp. I estimated the distance. It would take ten days for us to return from our current location to the outside of the snow-capped mountains. The supplies we have left now, even in the most efficient way, would probably only last ten days at most."
"So what?" Liu Qingyun asked. At this time, Liu Qingyun's lips were chapped and looked very haggard.
"To be safe, I think we should return at this time." Liu Qingshan said.
"How many days has Aoki been in?" Liu Qingyun asked.
"Including today, it should be six days. Yuan Tiandao is the fourth day of entering." Liu Qingshan said.
"I just can't understand. Such a big mess, what did they do in it for so long? Did Aoki bring in a lot of food?" Liu Qingyun said.
"Not much, Qingmu belt has very little things, and even Yuan Tiandao basically didn't bring any food in. If it were inferred based on the pulling force of normal people, they would probably be dead inside now." Liu Qingshan said with a wry smile.
"Impossible, I don't believe that Qingmu and Yuan Tiandao will die here." Liu Qingyun said.
Not only did Liu Qingyun not believe it, I also didn’t believe that they would die inside, but as they came over day by day, my confidence disappeared little by little. After such a long time, they should be able to come out even if they dig three feet into the ground, let alone how did they not eat or drink inside?
"Baqian, what are you going to do?" Liu Qingshan asked me.
"I don't believe they will die either." I smiled bitterly.
——The Liu brothers waited here for two days. At this time, they were not only facing material scarcity, but also mental pressure. It had been eight days since Qingmu entered this temple, and Yuan Tiandao also had six days, but the two of them seemed to have evaporated from the world. The Liu brothers were not ready to wait, they were about to retreat. I wanted Zhao Wuji to follow them, but Zhao Wuji naturally refused. He decided to wait with me here. Before leaving, Liu Qingshan asked me when I would continue to wait here. I shook my head and said I would wait until I couldn't wait.
He left me his stuff, and then Liu Qingshan hugged me, patted me on the back and said, "Baqian, don't do stupid things no matter what, live well."
"Yeah." I nodded.
After the Liu family retreated, the place became more and more deserted, and Zhao Wuji was still decadent as usual. At this time, I was actually very confused and my heart became more and more anxious. I didn’t even know what I was waiting for. Was Qingmu and Yuan Tiandao come out? Reason told me that they were in danger now. If they were still alive, there was only one possibility, that is, the temple had other exits, and they had already left the other exits.
I also wanted to try to get closer to the temple, but when I thought of the huge black Buddha and what Liu Qingshan said turned into a pool of blood, I didn’t have the courage to get too close to the temple.
In this way, two more days later, belief was not enough to support me to continue waiting. This endless waiting was enough to drive people crazy. I even had hallucinations. I knew I was leaving, otherwise I might die here. When I think of the fact that there might be people who pursue this secret in a few years, they might see my body. They would also guess the cause of my death. I felt ridiculous and funny.
I packed up my things, finally took a deep look at the temple, then turned to Zhao Wuji and said, "Cousin, let's go?"
"Just leave like this, are you willing?" Zhao Wuji said.
"What can I do if I'm not willing to give up?" I smiled bitterly.
"The door will definitely be opened again. When it is opened, the so-called formation mechanism in front of the door will fail. That is the best time for us to enter the temple." Zhao Wuji suddenly said.
"Why do you say that?" I asked.
"Li Gouzi, he came here secretly with the fat man's grandfather back then, and they must have entered this temple. I kept thinking, how did they come here? The Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation at the door may have known the mystery of the formation when they came with the person back then, so they could find the right way out, but the taboos in front of the temple are definitely not something that can be avoided. So I believe that at a certain time, some changes will definitely occur here, and that is when we enter the temple." Zhao Wuji said.
Zhao Wuji's attitude was very firm. His analysis made some sense. It can also be said that he was a bet, because there is no definite conclusion about Li Gouzi and Fatty Grandpa, and the truth of the matter has been sank forever with the death of Li Gouzi and Fatty Grandpa.
I will definitely accompany Zhao Wuji to go crazy. In order to wait for Yuan Tiandao and for an answer, Zhao Wuji may be trying to explain Lao Hei's unexpected death at this time.
In this way, I decided to calm down and continue waiting.
This is how many things in the world are. Waiting may not necessarily result, but giving up will definitely not get what you want. The day passes quickly. At night, a full moon hangs on the sky. When I see this full moon, hope suddenly ignited in my heart. I thought of a sentence Li Gouzi said to me: He said there are two conditions for entering this place, one is to hold the Yin Soldier Tiger Talisman in your hand, and the other is that on the full moon night, the lamas will come out to recite scriptures, and then the road will be smooth.
Li Gouzi has almost no truth in his mouth, but Li Gouzi and Fatty Grandpa have the same problem, that is, they like to hide their heads and tails. Although the past they tell is a lie, people always find flaws when they say it, thinking that what they say is true. The reason is that they are both true and false when they lie. This is a skill of lying, and only in this way can people not distinguish between true and false.
So I am looking forward to the two so-called methods that Li Gouzi actually refers to two taboos - the taboo of Yin soldiers at the door, which requires Yin soldiers and tiger talismans to be broken, while the taboo in front of the temple requires that Lamas come out to recite scriptures on the full moon night.
I know that tonight is the limit I can stick to. After tonight, I will pull Zhao Wuji away no matter what. At this time, I am close to the mentality of a gambler, which is to give it a try in the end.
I was already filled with my heart, but I didn't say anything. After dinner, we both gathered around the campfire. This was our last alcohol stove and the last warmth.
I kept looking at the watch, and time passed by minute by minute, and there was still deathly quiet outside.
In this way, it was almost twelve o'clock in the evening.
Twelve o'clock is a very critical node.
I stared at the temple and the location of the gate where Yuan Tiandao walked into.
There was even a sound of the hour hand turning in my mind.
And the sound finally stopped with the change of the wall. This is a very strange phenomenon. Just like the top of the cave in that cave, you originally looked like something, but it would suddenly change. A wall of the temple suddenly turned into a door.
I don't know what this is, it is a spell, or a mechanism?
In short, just under my gaze, at twelve o'clock on the full moon night, the door suddenly appeared in that position and slowly opened.
We didn't turn on the lights because the moon was very bright tonight.
Then, the sound of chanting came from the temple. In addition to the sound of chanting, there were also a burst of footsteps. Immediately afterwards, I saw a team of lamas in red clothes walking out of the temple. The red lamas' clothes reflected on the snow, looking extremely bright and weird.
In this temple, not only is there a monster with a strange face, but also a living lama?
Zhao Wuji pressed my head, and we lay on the ground, staring at the team of lamas. The lamas walked out of the temple and walked towards us, and my heart was beating wildly.
"Do you want to take a gamble?! I want to see if these things are humans or ghosts!" Zhao Wuji said.
He was not asking me, but telling me, because after he finished speaking, he immediately turned on the flashlight, and the light of the flashlight went straight to the faces of the lamas.
At this moment, I seemed to be suffocating.
I saw the faces of those lamas clearly!
That's not a lama!
That's a gecko man!
