Chapter 58: This mountain seems to be alive

Chu Huan had just washed his hands clean, but before he had time to stand up, he was suddenly pulled up by Nanshan, holding his shirt.
Chu Huan: "Yu-this one is broken and I didn't change it!"
But no one cares whether he changed his clothes or not. Chu Huan was dragged all the way by Nanshan, who was defeated, and found that everyone seemed to have forgotten the mountain gate at any time, looking together in one direction, passing each other from a distance Whistle.
Chu Huan didn't throw away the water droplets in one hand, and asked inexplicably: "What are you doing all this time?"
"The mountain gate is closed," Nan Shan said.
Chu Huan froze for a moment, and finally figured out the concept of "closed mountain gate": "That is to say, there is no guard at the Dashi Gate, and the little monsters can't enter, right? Isn't that good?"
Nanshan glanced back at him and said softly: "When the mountain gate is closed, the inner door leading to the other side may open. Do you understand?"
Chu Huan remembered the time and place where he first met Ruger and was almost fighting, and was silent for a few seconds.
However, he did not know whether it was good or bad. He couldn't help but glance back at the closed mountain rock. I saw that the mountain and the stone were aligned. —What is Shanmen? Isn't it just a big rock?
Why is it so smart?
Chu Huan suddenly felt that the mountain seemed to be alive.
As soon as this thought came up, he was shocked, and then he found it reasonable to think like this-Chu Huan remembered that Yuan Ping said that, in a sense, the gatekeeper is the mountain itself, since Shenshan The holy water can give birth to people, so the idea of ​​"mountain has life" is absolutely plausible.
Chu Huan was dragged by Nanshan mechanically, and his mind had floated far away. As soon as he opened this line of thought, he suddenly thought of himself as a cold body. If the mountain has life, can the world have life?
Will the so-called "falling ground" and "dead ground" also be a kind of life?
Chu Huanzheng's thoughts flew, and suddenly, dragging his footsteps, they had reached the cave near the mountain gate.
Ruger continued to walk in all the time, and quickly passed through the holy spring. The holy spring fluorescence was still the same. Chu Huan always felt that it seemed to be different, but what was the matter, he only had a glance in a hurry, and then He was dragged away by Nanshan, and did not observe clearly.
Further in, it is the place where Chu Huan has not been in. The cave here is long and winding, although it is not narrow, but it seems that it can't reach the head, giving people a psychological depression.
The initial confusion, surprise, or nervousness had passed by now, and the two patriarchs quickly regained their calm. Nanshan dragged Chu Huanyue to Lug's side and suddenly asked, "If you open over there, what are you going to do?" ? "
Ruger recovered his cold water grimace: "No matter what, take away all your old and weak and sick, and we continue to stay here."
Nanshan's face sank: "What are you saying?"
"Nothing else," this Ruger was probably really influenced by Nanshan's blood. Although the speech was still stunned, he knew to explain a few words abruptly, "The sinking ground must have approached the foot of the mountain at this time. The mountain gate is closed abnormally, and no one knows what will happen in the future. In case the inner door is really opened, you should leave as soon as possible-maybe it will never open again in the future. But our gatekeeper cannot leave the mountain Yes, do you understand? "
Nanshan did not answer, and Ruger did not look back.
For a long while, Ruger sighed: "You guys guarding the mountain, you know what you are doing."
Nanshan's throat moved, as if a slight acid in his heart was caught in a sudden. After a while, he whispered: "Before it's time to say this, let's go."
The two patriarchs were in front of the car, and they walked fast, and suddenly, the slender, narrow path came to an end, and the vision was suddenly bright. Nose-there is a smell.
In fact, the taste is not uncommon. If you look closely, it seems to be the smell of wet mud in the cave all year round.
Some dampness makes people feel musty, some dampness is rotten, but here gives him a kind of illusion ...
But in fact there was nothing in front, just a cave.
There should be a beam of light from somewhere in the dark cave, which illuminates the place, like a naturally formed patio, with bare rocks around, but the ground material is very strange, as if it is a piece The surprisingly large natural crystal, like the solid version of the holy spring next door, also emits that milky white fluorescence.
People stand on it, and they can see their shadows when they bow their heads-it's still the microdermabrasion version, no matter how rough it looks, even in this photo, the nose is the nose and the eyes are the eyes.
Chu Huan asked in a low voice: "This is ..."
Nanshan: "Hush."
I saw that Ruger stepped forward and stepped on the big crystal. With his footsteps, the hard crystal surface was splayed with water waves. At this time, Chu Huan was already strange to all kinds of wonders. The Narug elder went to the center of the big crystal, and the whole body was lit by the fluorescent light, just like a dancing dummy on the music box.
Ruger took a deep breath and knelt down, muttering in his mouth, humming a distant sacrifice.
Everyone couldn't help but hold his breath with his breath, but five minutes, ten minutes ... or even longer, the ripples on the surface of the "crystal" had gone, but nothing happened.
Ruger's expression changed, opened his eyes and stood up, shook his head at Nanshan far.
Nanshan: "So the side of the mountain gate is not open."
The other end was closed, but the other end was not open, that is to say, they are now completely trapped in this mountain.
At that moment, Nanshan's expression was not "disappointed", but rather "relaxed." He turned around calmly, waved his hand calmly to the people behind him, and commanded, "Go back, every ten Team, from now on everyone will work half a day, don't leave the mountain gate. "
Ruger came over from the huge crystal surface: "Come on, go uphill with me, I'm going to see the elder."
Before waiting for them to go up the mountain, the elder probably felt the movement of the mountain gate through some unknown feudal superstition method. When they came out of the cave, they found that the old thing with the goat face was already waiting there How was he so old that he climbed down from the top of the mountain step by step.
The elder also brought a guard with him—not a little bald man with his crutches.
A group of people formed a circle at the entrance of the cave. The elders were screaming and striking the ground support with their canes: "Quickly! Hey, give me away, don't hinder me ... Medicine? No, not enough! Increase the volume! "
Nanshan they set aside the crowd and strode over: "What's going on?"
There was a man lying on the ground, it was the mountain. Chu Huan did n’t want to count on the mountain for a few days a year. The young man ’s eyes were gurgling with black blood, no need to ask, it was obviously injured by the eye eater. . In the case of injury, Dashan was born for the first time and matured for the second time. This time, the wounded medicine is already familiar, and he is still breathing while pointing others.
As soon as he heard Nanshan's voice, Dashan immediately reached out and fumbled for a few times, and rolled over and grabbed Nanshan's trouser legs: "Patriarch!"
Ruger glanced over to look at his eye injury: "Aren't the gates closed? What did you do just now?"
Dashan: "I looked up from the heights, Patriarch Ruger, I saw the sinking ground."
The young man actually tried not to fight. He came up once and looked far away. Everyone did not know whether to praise him or scold him.
Chu Huan squatted halfway: "You see? I'm afraid the border is no longer at the foot of the mountain."
Dashan: "Not at the foot of the mountain, too close."
The elder took his shoulders lightly: "Where? How far?"
Dashan: "Less than ten miles."
For a moment everyone was silent, only Luge, who had only one eye, suddenly said, "When I glanced at the eye-eating beast, I haven't seen the sign of the sinking ground outside the mountain gate."
It moves at high speed.
Is it because of this that the mountain gate was closed?
At this moment, the small poisonous snake Xiaolu, who was originally doing nothing around Chu Huan, suddenly straightened up and made a gesture of attack and fear in the direction of the sky. Chu Huan looked up in that direction, I saw the big eagle carved by the gatekeeper on the hillside originally circling around the foot of the mountain. Suddenly, one of them made a very terrible chirp, unnaturally made a bend, and fell straight outside the mountain gate.
It's as if ... is sucked in by something.
These sky-killer raptors swelled on the ground of the hill, and the eagle claws twitched the ground unsteadily. The trembling look had almost become a group of quails.
Someone murmured, "Come ... it's coming!"
Everyone turned their heads back together, and the sky was completely gloomy at a speed visible to the naked eye. All the people standing in the mountain gate saw it, and the immense shadow was approaching, as irresistible as the sky and clouds.
All living creatures ... humans, poisonous snakes, pythons, and big eagles all faced with fear from their bones when facing the unknown shadow, and the whole hill was silent at that moment.
"We are going to be swallowed!" Everyone had such a thought in his heart, but in the shadow of the majestic shadow, no one could speak.
At this moment, a strong light burst out behind the people.
Chu Huan could n’t help closing his eyes, and after a while he came back. He looked around and saw a corner of that mountain as the center, emitting a white light like the sun in the sky. The mountains shrouded in it.
Is that ... holy spring?
The white light emitted by the holy spring was like a stubborn sharp knife against the corner. He carried the shadow over the mountain gate, and the people who did not dare to come out of the atmosphere recovered. They were shocked to find that they were standing at the junction of light and shadow. Where to go.
The first person to speak was Nanshan, and Nanshan ’s voice was unnaturally lowered, as if afraid of disturbing something, and said quickly: "Carrying the elder and Ankaraiye, everyone, now withdraw to the cave immediately , Hurry! Do n’t stay here. "
It seems that a mountain guard has not recovered, and instinctively followed the patriarch's order to retreat, and asked inexplicably: "Isn't the patriarch letting us patrol the mountain gate in groups of ten?"
Ruger: "What are you still visiting? Did you notice that there was no sound outside?"
All the people who heard this sentence came up together with goose bumps. Only then did countless beasts and monsters attempting to climb into the mountain gate continually ran into the rock at the mountain gate with their bodies. Due to the large number, even though the thick mountain rock, Here you can also hear the dull impact and roar.
But now there is nothing.
The enemies who had fought with them for a day and night seemed to have disappeared in an instant, and the mountain gate was dead.
No, the whole world is dead. This mountain is like the Noah's Ark in the end-time flood, which is dangerously carrying the only living things in the world.
I am afraid that everyone present would rather face a group of deadly eye-eating beasts than to be in such a "quiet".
Soon, the two tribes quickly withdrew to the gatekeeper ’s daily resting place. It is near the mountain core holy spring. The white light seems to be stronger. Even in the cave, it seems to be in the sun. sense.
The crowd gathered around the two patriarchs and elders. Chu Huan thought that he was an outsider who had no say, so he picked up the little bald head, picked up the poisonous snake green, and consciously found a corner to sit down and draw himself. Set in the mascot area.
The elder didn't care about the six gods and no masters of the clan, and went straight to the subject and opened the mouth, saying: "I heard that the mountain gate was closed but it didn't turn upside down. This is not a good sign for you. Relying on, using the flesh and blood of my people as the medium, communicating at both ends-now the door is locked, the Holy Mountain Holy Spring will eventually become passive water, at most, it can stop the temporary fall, and we may be running out of time. . "
Ruger: "You mean, we have little time left to die."
The elder seemed to think that the gatekeeper's patriarch was too simple and rude. He tapped his mouth and looked at the tribe's panic. He was about to open his mouth and heard Yuan Ping saying, "What should I do? Crystal door can Is it smashed or exploded? Would it be possible to go back there if broken? "
Senior citizens:"……"
The simple rudeness of the courageous gatekeeper is the same.
"Fart," said the elder, picking up a cane and tapping on Yuan Ping's head. The old man coughed a few times, and said hoarsely, "The holy book had long expected this day. At that time, only people crossing the river were the only turning point ... "
This remark successfully transferred everyone's attention to Chu Huan.
Chu Huan crossed his legs, put the little bald head on his knees, and sat upright. Under the eyes of everyone, he coughed a little, thinking he should say something.
But he didn't actually come back. All this happened too fast, and Chu Huan didn't know anything at all. The words were too dry, which tended to aggravate the group anxiety. If they were too full, in case ... the greater the hope The greater the disappointment?
This degree is quite difficult to grasp, but Chu Huan has not had time to speak, Nanshan suddenly said: "If someone can only enter the sinking ground to find that lifeline, then I will go with him."
Nanshan's words seemed to be hot water splashing into the oil pan, and everyone in the room was immediately in an uproar. For a while, Xiaofang, who first reacted, looked at him stunnedly: "Patriarch, what are you saying?"
Nanshan's expression was calm: "I'm walking with him. What's going on here, you listen to the elders and the elders of Ruger."
Ruger glanced at him, and then pointed to the ground with a knife tip, without a sound.
"but……"
Nanshan glanced around, smiled, and put the sentence "but" back in his stomach. He walked under the eyes and pulled Chu Huan up from the ground: "After a rest, we will start tomorrow. "
"Patriarch!"
"Patriarch and so on!"
Nanshan did not wait, and did not hesitate.
When he said that, he almost felt free.
Nanshan picked up the venomous snake wrapped around Chu Huan, raised his hand and tossed the dumb snake to Ruger one by one, and then pulled away Chu Huan, who had also failed to respond.
Chu Huan: "Wait ..."
He also wanted to discuss with the elders about the "108 conjectures about the fall", and he hadn't had time to ask where the middle-aged man who entrusted him with dreams on that day was sacred!
Ruger looked at the large snake that was nearly a hundred pounds thrown over by Nanshan, and he flew sideways without hesitation, letting the small green "bang" hit the ground at once, and fell into a seven-nutrition, issued an angry "hiss" "sound.
A group of people next to him were calling Nanshan at a loss. Only Yuan Ping stayed for a while and stood up three feet high: "I'll go too!"
Ruger's eyes quickly stumbled under his feet with the knife handle, Yuan Ping stumbled, so that he could fall and lay down on a horse, before he had time to stand up, and the patriarch pressed his shoulders with the back of the knife.
Ruger said lightly: "Sit down, it's none of your business."
Yuan Ping: "But ..."
Ruger bowed his head and said to the viper: "Let him not run around."
Xiao Lv soon forgot Fang Cai ’s revenge, and immediately climbed to Yuan Ping with good manners, bound his legs in three rounds and two rounds, and flatteredly lifted his triangular head, looking at the iron-blue gatekeeper with a playful look. And successfully painted him in prison.
Nanshan dragged Chu Huan all the way up the mountain and walked an unusual path. If it wasn't for Chu Huan and Yuan Ping who played a forest chase battle every morning, he would have been fainted.
Without even breathing all the way, Nanshan took him straight to a natural cave in the mountainside.
There are very few people here, and there are several deformed big willow trees next to the entrance of the cave. The soft branches hang like a curtain on both sides, and there seems to be a faint light inside.
Chu Huan glanced at the probe and lifted his foot to walk in: "What is glowing?"
Nanshan pulled him back.
"Do you know where this is?" Nanshan's eyes flashed with an indescribable expression.
Chu Huan glanced at the mysterious halo in the deep cave, and at Nanshan again. There was some kind of speculation in his heart, and his throat suddenly dried up.
"This is where my people made a marriage contract." Nanshan held his face in one hand, twisting Chu Huan's hair with his fingers, and it seemed like he couldn't put it down for a long time.
The thin cocoon in the palm rubbed Chu Huan a little, but he did not hide because the itch on the skin was far less than the itch in his heart.
"Shoushan's agreement is life and death," Nanshan said. "It may not be the same as yours. As long as you set it, you can't repent for life, and you can't break it forever."
He suddenly took a step back, knelt down on one knee, grabbed Chu Huan's hand, and turned his palm up.
"Please," Nanshan raised his head and looked at Chu Huan without blinking, "Give me."
