Chapter 34

() Found the way home!

If it were just a crack torn open on the sky, Changdong would not be so creepy.

But obviously not. The tearing and spreading slits look too much like an eyeball: it is made of sandy yellow and gray yellow of different shades, with a strange and faint bright color, just like a person's eyeball has its own charm.

Ye Liuxi whispered: "It seems to be one eye, will there be many?"

She imagined the scene of the night sky above her head full of huge eyes. If she opened it together, it would be so... too scary.

Changdong said: "It's just like it, not necessarily it's also possible that it's just a leak, just a look similar to the eye."

It was a little far apart and could not see clearly. Ye Liuxi looked at him: "Let's see closer?"

Changdong nodded.

The two of them pressed their backs against the Yadan earth platform, and tried to move slowly to the better viewing side: this place was facing the sand earth platform, and the quicksand in the "eye" was flowing down from the top of the earth platform, hanging through the gap of the shovel, like a waterfall that was endlessly resting in front of the curtain cave.

After looking at it for a while, Ye Liuxi suddenly had a tight throat: "Changdong, look at that sand..."

Changdong saw that the shadow puppet coffin with a corner seemed to have adsorption of quicksand. When the sand that should have fallen freely passed through the gap, it suddenly sucked in, gradually filling the gap...

The falling sand gradually became sparse, and the light and darkness in front of us seemed to have subtle changes. Changdong looked up alertly...

That eye was originally going down, but I don’t know when my eyelids rolled up, and that eyeball actually stared at them straight!

The next moment, the eyeball suddenly disappeared.

Chang Dong felt that this was definitely not a closed eye. He pushed Ye Liuxi away and shouted: "Be careful!"

The straight sand column rushed over, barely brushing past the two of them, and hitting directly on the Yadan earth platform.

When I raised my eyes again, the eyes had disappeared immediately, and the second sand pillar rushed towards Changdong.

Changdong rolled on the spot to avoid it.

He roughly figured it out: When you think that when you close your eyes and can't see it, it is actually because a large amount of sand is sprayed out. Although there is nothing scary about the sand, it comes from such a strange eye that he doesn't want to get any of it.

Ye Liuxi seemed to have seen the trick: "Changdong, hide behind Yadan!"

Her position is closer to Yadan, and Changdong is far away because of the moment he just rolled away: "You first, I'll do it right away."

He stared at that eye, and as soon as it disappeared again, he rushed towards Yadan...

The speed of his eyes was obviously faster. The tilted sand pillar suddenly blocked the road ahead. Changdong turned sharply, stepped onto the Yadan table a few steps, and flew down from the oblique side. As soon as he landed on the ground, the back of his right calves suddenly sank.

There was sand plunging on his legs.

Changdong didn't care about it, ran away as he raised his foot, and suddenly lost his center of gravity and almost fell down.

His right leg couldn't be pulled out!

In the flash of lightning, Changdong suddenly realized: this quicksand is indeed different from ordinary sand. Once it is attached to a tangible object, it will be poured quickly, like a glue-rammed earth platform.

Looking up, the stream that was just hitting the Yadan earth platform has now condensed, like a growing earth tumor.

Ye Liuxi didn't understand why Changdong suddenly stopped: "Why don't you move?"

"It's stuck."

Before he finished speaking, another sand column rushed over. Changdong couldn't pull out one leg, so he could only look at the momentum and avoid it. He suddenly glanced at Ye Liuxi from the corner of his eyes. She rushed in with a knife...

People were quick to be wise, so Changdong tried his best to kick the mound of soil surrounding his right leg. The pouring time was not long and had not solidified enough, so he actually kicked open the gap.

Changdong instantly got rid of it and flipped over the ground.

Ye Liuxi was rushing to the front, but he was not careful that he actually stood up and couldn't hold on. Changdong had just had time to hug her waist, so she took her out. Fortunately, both of them reacted very quickly, and one of them rolled on the spot, with almost no order, and they both hid in the back of Yadan.

The few moments just now were caught off guard, very fast and fierce. Both of them were breathless and didn't even bother to speak. They tried to stick to Yadan's back as close as possible: the sand sprayed out of the eyes seemed to be able to go straight. Since the "visit" could not turn, the hidden position should be a safe blind spot.

Both of them were not moving, their heartbeats were like drums, and they didn't dare to go out to check again for a while.

I don’t know how long it took, but the wind gradually subsided.

Changdong whispered to Ye Liuxi: "You just carried a knife, why are you going out for?"

Ye Liuxi felt that he was asking nonsense: "Save you."

"I know you are saving me, so I want to ask, is that knife cutter or my legs?"

With her attitude of having to use an off-road vehicle to crash the shadow coffin earthen platform without thinking, Changdong felt it was necessary to ask clearly.

Ye Liuxi said: "...This depends on the urgency of the matter."

Changdong didn't say anything for a long time.

After that, he would call her: "Liuxi?"

"Um?"

"Let's make a decision first: In the future, if you encounter similar dangers, try to take care of my health as much as possible. Unless I take the initiative to ask, don't make decisions for my legs or arms, they are not yours."

The dawn gradually rises.

The cold white fish belly gave people a sense of security. Changdong signaled Ye Liuxi to stay in place, took two steps toward the periphery of Yadan, and then looked up.

The sky is the sky, low, stretching and quiet. The eye last night was like a distant nightmare.

The two went around to the other side.

What I saw in front of me was normal and... weird.

Ye Liuxi blurted out: "The earthen platform with shadow puppet coffin is gone!"

It's gone, so there's no need to look at it. Not only the ones in front of you, but those found in a row yesterday should be gone.

But this disappearance here is not abrupt, just like a few trees are missing in the dense forest and a few flowers are lost in the flowers.

Changdong thought of something: "Go and check out the ruts of trucks!"

It's gone.

What is this?

He had imagined No. 2 of Bailongdui before, and thought it might be a splicing of sections. The sections outside the camp were replaced by gods without realizing their knowledge. Now it seems that it is not.

Ye Liuxi also found it incredible: "How come the ruts on the ground are gone? I don't believe it. Could it be that a layer of ground has been removed..."

This suddenly reminded Changdong.

He asked Ye Liuxi: "Have you seen transparent film? You can write on it and use it as a projection to display it."

Ye Liuxi nodded.

"I painted two transparent films of the same size on one of them, the lake shore, the weeping willows, and the other one, and then added together, and there is a boat on the lake, right?"

Ye Liuxi thought about it, then shook his head: "It may not be necessary, unless you have designed the relative position of the lake, the boat and the shore before painting, otherwise it is easy to make mistakes after superimposing it: the boat may run to the willow tree or at the bottom of the lake."

What Changdong wants is this answer: "So the ruts will be crushed into the bottom of the Yadan Tutai."

Ye Liuxi was stunned for a moment.

But she quickly figured it out: "You mean... superimposed?"

"Superposition. I assume that what your blood summons is Yumen Pass, Ghost Fire, or Shadow Puppet Coffin. There is no such thing as real life. They only exist in Yumen Pass."

"When the limelight came, the real world and Yumen Pass overlapped in the direction of the White Dragon Pile."

"In the real world, there are the White Dragon Dui Yadan, there are us, in Yumen Pass, there are ghost fires, shadow coffin earthen platform, and car ruts. Imagine that when the two overlap, is it a very strange pattern?"

Once Yumen Pass is withdrawn and withdrawn, everything will return to normal.

Changdong took out the aerial camera image from his bag and showed her the photo she synthesized yesterday: "Look carefully, now change the angle, forget the White Dragon Pile, pull out the White Dragon Pile, and imagine what the Yumen Pass looks like."

There, there will be avenue more than 100 meters wide.

On both sides of the avenue are earthen platforms with shadow coffins buried, which are symmetrical in pairs and extend dozens of miles away.

On the shadow puppet coffin, there is a painting of Han Dynasty portrait stone style, which depicts a group of hard-working sinners wearing shackles into the pass. If you listen carefully, under the whistling wind and sand, there will be songs stacked and washed like waves:

... "Yumen Pass, Ghost Pass, blood flows when you come out of the pass; you are happy when you hide your delicacy in the golden house, so don't care if I enter the pass..."

In the shadow puppet coffin, there were shadow puppets wearing ancient clothes. The clothes might be from the Tang Dynasty, or maybe not limited to the Tang Dynasty, with nine people in groups, silent.

In the vast wilderness around, there will be dark green ghost fires, shadow camel caravans with ghost fires as carriers, and there are also countless wind and sand tentacles with strange whereabouts.

Above the earth platform, high in the sky, there are strange eyes, and the tentacles and eyes seem to be protecting the shadow puppet coffin:

...Hui Ba wanted to open the coffin, but his throat was cut by a shovel.

...The sand leaking from that eye was actually re-repaired and poured into the damaged shadow puppet tomb.

Ye Liuxi once drove a truck across this road more than once.

The ruts were circling, so she was driving in a bad manner: sometimes on the road, sometimes under the road, but she would never hit the shadow puppet coffin dirt platform.

The goods, clothes, shoes, discs, books, various foods, and even celebrity posters on her car are for people to use.

But Lop Nur is called the Sea of ​​Death, a land of no one. In reality, there are no communities here, unless...

Changdong asked Ye Liuxi: "Have you heard of "The Peach Blossom Spring"?"

During the Jin Dynasty, a fisherman took a very curved road, first following the stream, then into the peach forest, and finally crawled into the extremely narrow mountain pass, and finally saw the peach garden.

The people inside said that they were trying to avoid the war in the Qin Dynasty, so they never went out after coming in. "I asked what kind of world it is, but I didn't know that there was a Han Dynasty, regardless of Wei and Jin Dynasties."

When the fisherman went out, he also made marks along the way, but he could not find it later.

Ye Liuxi said: "Do you think Yumen Pass is a similar place?"

Changdong nodded.

If he had come by himself, he would not have entered Yumen Pass by mistake, because without Ye Liuxi's blood, he would not have been able to raise the limelight, and Yumen Pass would not have appeared... But once it appeared, those who happened to be close to him, whether he, Fei Tang, or Xiaoya, could have a glimpse of it.

The fisherman might have entered the Peach Blossom Land by chance by chance, but the coincidence did not take the second chance, so no matter how he left a mark along the way, he could never enter again after coming out.

Yumen Pass may be further than Peach Blossom Land. People in Peach Blossom Land will never go out again when they live in seclusion and "never come back", but Yumen Pass will send people out of the customs to understand the situation outside the customs and input materials outside the customs...

But the question is, what about people? Did he and Ye Liuxi enter Yumen Pass these two times? Why is it deserted and there is no trace of people?
