The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 306

Seeing this situation, Tan Ren took off his black mask and said in a deep voice, "What's going on, are we going around in circles?"

"But, boss, there is only one way!"

This is a snow ditch, a large flat snow slope between two snow mountains. Although the snow is thick and difficult to walk, the terrain is not dangerous, and there is only one road, which is blocked on the left and right. Either go forward, Either go backwards, how can it go around in circles?
A terrifying thought immediately popped up in my mind, and said, "Could it be that those three snow-capped mountains can walk by themselves?"

Tan Ren was about to reach out to hit me on the back of the head again, but I quickly turned to one side to dodge, he missed it, frowned and said, "You must have read too many novels."

I said: "Liao Zhai seems to have written about the story of the mountain god carrying the mountain." Tibetans have one god for one mountain, and one god for each lake. Could it be that the guardian gods of the three snow-capped mountains carry the snow-capped mountains around when they are full and have nothing to do? stroll?

Zhou Xuanye stared at the three snow-capped mountains, and said: "I have never seen a mountain god, but this is definitely not a god. The gods will not play with us for nothing. Those who are abnormal must be demons." After speaking, he turned and walked back. look.

But there is no mountain behind us. You know, we turned around from here just now.

Zhou Xuanye turned around and said, "Turn back, and pay attention to whether that mountain will appear again." We couldn't figure out what was going on, so we could only do this, but we walked back for more than two hours, and there was no mountain emerging. Come out, it seems that this time we are on the right track and are heading back.

We all wear goggles. The snow is all white and bright. If you look at it for a long time, you may be snow blind, and your eyes will be uncomfortable.Such windproof sunglasses are essential.But even with this protection, prolonged periods of exhaustion and close observation can still tire the eyes.

I couldn't help but close my eyes a little bit, and it took only three seconds. When I opened my eyes again, I was almost scared to pee, and those three snow-capped mountains appeared in front of us again!

At the same time, I also noticed a strange phenomenon, we are going back on our way, there is wind at the moment, but there is no snow, because the snow is very deep, so where we walked, the footprints left are also very deep.

But at this moment, the road in front of us is also new, and we can't see the footprints left before, as if we are not going back, but a new road!

What exactly is going on?

"Boss, brother Zhou, it, how did they appear?" I only closed my eyes for about three seconds!
I thought Zhou Xuanye and Tan Ren must have seen it clearly, but they both shook their heads at the same time, saying that the situation was the same as mine, and it appeared at the moment of closing their eyes.How it appeared, I really can't tell.

The work in the office is relatively leisurely, and Zhou Xuanye is well-read and knowledgeable, and has a large collection of books, so for more than half a year, I will read some books when I have nothing to do.Many of Zhou Xuanye's books are old editions, which cannot be found on the market, so I have gained a lot of knowledge.

In the book, I have seen the phenomenon of snow mirage, that is to say, in some places with vast snowy areas, due to the snow and fog, the phenomenon of mirage may also appear.

For a moment just now, I even wondered if the snow-capped mountains we saw could be what the ancients called snow mirages, but the footprints in front of me cannot be explained by snow mirages.

Are we going in circles on a straight road?
After thinking about it, it seems that there is only one possibility, I said: "Boss, brother Zhou, could it be a ghost hitting the wall?"

Tan Ren pointed to the sun in the sky and said, "You didn't see it, did you?"

The ghost hitting the wall will only appear at night, and even if it encounters it, it will be automatically cracked when the sky is bright.We have all stayed in this place for one night and half a day, so how could it be a ghost hitting the wall?

For a while, the situation reached a stalemate.After thinking about it, Zhou Xuanye said: "Go forward." We walked back in circles, so what if we kept going forward?Where are we going?That seems to be the only way to do it now.

Immediately, we rested for a while, ate some food, replenished our energy, unbuttoned our pants and urinated, and walked forward in one direction.This walk led to the night.The surrounding environment is not repeated at all, as if we are walking on a new and unknown road, but the three completely unchanged snow peaks give people a very scary feeling.They are like three giants, looking down at us, and we are like insects in a box, unable to find the north or how to climb out.

It was a terrible feeling, but none of the three of us said it.Zhou Xuanye has never been a person who likes to add a heavy atmosphere. No matter how dangerous the situation is, he maintains a very calm state, which makes people feel that he seems to be in a very safe environment.

Tan Ren, on the other hand, has always been taciturn, covering his whole body tightly, with no skin visible.

We couldn’t go any further at night, so we camped and rested for another night. When we got up the next morning, it seemed to be even colder. Even if we boiled hot water, we couldn’t dispel the chill from our bodies. It was difficult to warm up. This was a little different from the situation on the first day. At that time, the altitude was not high. When we walked all morning, our bodies were actually very warm.

But now, it doesn't seem to be hot at all, there is no snow around, but the fog is heavy.The thick fog, which was lower than yesterday, seemed to cast over our clothes, and it was extremely cold and damp, making our muscles and bones very stiff.

Things are not looking good.

We still haven't gained anything. According to the map, we should have reached the corner of a snow ditch, but at this moment, that corner didn't appear.Our bodies couldn't take it anymore, and I even wondered if I was going to get sick. Getting sick in this place is absolutely fatal.

The unchanging reference, the route that does not match the map at all, the straight snow ditch without much change, let us realize that things have fallen into a very bad deadlock.

Zhou Xuanye stopped in his tracks, his face turned slightly blue, wondering if it was from the cold.

He breathed white, gasped a few times, and said, "I can't go out, brother, have we encountered the 'three styles'?" The so-called three styles are the three styles, six toughness, Gossip is all about fortune-telling and divination, while the three forms belong to the category of Qimen Dunjia. In other words, Zhou Xuanye suspects that someone has arranged something similar to Qimen Dunjia in this snowy area.

Tan Yan shook his head, saying that he had this idea long ago, but there is no trace of Qimen Dunjia in this place.

Just when the three of us were like headless chickens, I suddenly felt my heart skip a beat.That feeling was exactly the same as the night of Fu An's accident, which made people feel very palpitating.At this moment, I couldn't understand why this feeling appeared again. Just as I was wondering, the feeling became more intense wave after wave, as if my heart was about to jump out of my chest.This feeling even made me suffocate for a while.

Damn, do I have a heart attack?
The next moment, my whole body was kneeling on the ground, and my legs were buried in the snow.

My actions startled Zhou Xuanye: "Tian Gu, what's wrong with you?"

"My heart... I can't breathe... Huh, Huh, Huh, I heard voices..." I don't know if it's an auditory hallucination, but in this situation like a heart attack, I actually heard Fu An's voice, as if It rang in my ear, calling my name non-stop.

The next moment, my eyes went black and I passed out completely.

In fact, the coma process was not long. In a short period of time, I woke up immediately, and my heart still had the feeling after a heart attack. Throat twice.

Immediately afterwards, I heard the sound of the wind, the sound of the wind snorting against the tent.

Then I realized I was actually sleeping in a tent, in a sleeping bag, and it was pretty dark around me, making it hard for me to figure out my surroundings.

Could it be that after I passed out, Zhou Xuanye and the others got me into the tent?
It's so dark, is it too late?
It is necessary to light camp lamps when camping. Why didn't they light camp lamps?

I felt something was wrong, so I didn't rush to make a sound. I reached out to touch my trouser pocket, took out the windproof lighter from the trouser pocket and lit it. In an instant, orange light filled the tent.I saw Zhou Xuanye and Tan Ren sleeping next to each other, also in sleeping bags. At this moment, they both opened their eyes, as if they had just woken up.So when I looked at each other, I was taken aback and almost missed the lighter.

Immediately afterwards, Tan Ren sat up suddenly and said, "Why am I in the tent?"

You ask me, who am I asking?

Could it be that Zhou Xuanye did it?

And at this moment, Zhou Xuanye also climbed up, looked at the tent, and said: "After you fainted, we also fainted. When we woke up, it is now." From the place of the equipment bag, he drew out the ghost sword and slammed out of the tent.

The light from the lighter shines through the position where the tent is opened. Instead of snow, I see a piece of grass.

Grass?
There are only some very cold-resistant small shrubs in the snowy area, but have you never seen this kind of grass?

I immediately followed and got out, and at the same time, Zhou Xuanye outside turned on the camp lamp, and in an instant, the surrounding environment was displayed in front of our eyes.We turned out to be next to the Guozhacuo Lake where we camped three days ago!
I pinched my thigh hard, wondering if I was dreaming.

And Zhou Xuanye squatted next to the tent, and suddenly dropped his fist hard on the ground, saying, "I've been fooled!" The place where he squatted was on the right side of our tent. The location of the camp.

I went over to take a look, and sure enough, I could see traces of ground nails. In addition, there was a pool of white traces, which caught my attention.

It looked like the dried oil of something, sticking irregularly to the surface of the grass, and Zhou Xuanye's hand was stroking that thing at the moment.

If you want to describe it, it is a bit like wax tears left after burning.

Tan Ren obviously thought of something, and after following him for a look, his expression finally lost his composure, and he turned pale and said, "Mirage?"

Zhou Xuanye nodded and said, "Yes, we were tricked by Yang Ming!"

Is this related to Yang Ming?I listened to the conversation between the two of them, and it seemed that they had already figured out some tricks, but I was at a loss here, so I asked them what was going on, and what was this mirage.
