Lanterns all over the city are not as good as you

When Wu Lingang and Ke Yu arrived on the official road to Dongdi, they found that there were heavy soldiers guarding here. According to the passers-by, the current emperor was planning to marry Dongdi, so the current official road has been ruled by It is blocked, and only government personnel can walk in and out.

"This official path has been sealed, Lin'er, how can we get to Dongdi here?"

"We're not in a hurry. We'll be able to go all the way to Dongdi smoothly when the chariots and horses for marriage have passed by and we'll be mixed in with the send-off team."

Wu Lin suddenly touched his stomach, "Ke Yu, I'm hungry, go find me something to eat."

"Okay, you wait for me here."

Ke Yu left the resting place of the two and went into the city to find if there was anything Wu Lin wanted to eat. When Ke Yu came back with the food, the place just now was empty.

"I'm here."

Ke Yu was in a hurry, and saw Wu Lin waiting for him in a teahouse not far away, "I'm really thirsty, so I came here, but I have no money,"

Wu Lin spread his hands, all their purses were on Ke Yu's body, the owner of the teahouse looked angrily at the person who rushed over, after drinking the tea, he told himself that he had no money to settle the bill and waited for someone to redeem him.

Ke Yu settled the bill, sat down and opened the bun in his arms and put it in front of Wu Lin, "There's nothing to eat around here, so I just found this, let's make do with it."

"It's okay, it's delicious."

Wu Lin gnawed on a bun and looked at a figure running away, but didn't say anything. He turned around and looked at Ke Yu, and stuffed a bun into his mouth.

...

"What is this!"

Wei Xuanzhen swept all the food on the table on the ground. The road to the East is full of poor and remote places. Wei Xuanzhen couldn't swallow the food at all, "Forget it, bring me up."

A woman was escorted up by a group of guards, "The daughter of the people kowtowed to the emperor."

"Remember what I told you."

"Folk girls dare not forget."

"it is good."

Wei Xuanzhen stood up and even helped her up himself, "As long as you do your best, I guarantee that not only will nothing happen to your family, but I also guarantee that your family will be well-fed and prosperous from now on."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

...

Wu Lin clapped his hands and drank the tea on the table in one gulp, "Let's go and find out what we're going to marry. We'll pack up and be ready to go with them at any time."

Wulin Keyu stopped a person on the street, gave a few taels of silver, and asked about the marriage. Now this matter is a major event in the Southern Wei Dynasty. It is said that the Southern Wei Dynasty is planning to unite with Dongdi. Annex Xirong directly.As for this marriage, it is intended to strengthen ties with Dongdi.

"Do you know the day of the wedding?"

"It is said that he will go directly to Dongdi at the beginning of next month. I don't know the specifics."

Wu Lin and Ke Yu saw that this person probably couldn't ask any more questions, so they let him go, "Since it's the beginning of next month, there are still more than ten days left, we can't wait any longer."

Wu Lin had to go to Dongdi immediately, and if he delayed here any longer, it would be a bad thing.

"Then let's not take the official road, let's start directly from the mountain and take a long detour."

"Okay, then let's pack up and go."

Wu Lin hurriedly packed his luggage, ready to set off from the mountain immediately, "Lin'er, don't be in a hurry."

Ke Yu pressed Wu Lin who had stood up, "Although the mountain road is not blocked, I have to tell you, Lin'er, there is said to be a ghost village on the nearby mountain, but there is no specific place. Now, you must protect yourself first.”

"Since when did you believe in ghosts and gods?"

"It's not that they believe in ghosts and gods. There are already many people who have become enlightened."

Ke Yu looked at Wu Lin, he didn't believe in ghosts and gods at all, but many tourist businessmen have lost in the boundless mountains, and no one has seen them again.

"Okay, I'll be more careful."

Wu Lin looked at the dignified Ke Yu in front of him and became serious. Since Ke Yu would say so, it seems that there must be some problems with going to Dongdi Mountain, but now he has no chance to choose again. I had no choice but to go to Dongdi as soon as possible.

The two found a local man to give the silver and asked him to take the two to the foot of the mountain. No matter what the man said, he couldn't take a step further up the mountain, so he ran away with the silver.

Wu Lin and Ke Yu had no choice but to walk to the depths of the mountain forest on foot, "Now we choose to set off in daylight, so that we won't lose our way easily, but this mountain is not bad, it's not as weird as in the legend."

"Ah."

Although he followed Wu Lin and did not encounter any danger along the way, Ke Yu still looked around carefully, for fear that something would come out.

As they walked, they entered the dense forest that had already seen the sun. The trees in this place were so tall and dense that the sunlight outside could not penetrate at all, and only a glimmer of light could be seen. Wu Lin lit a fire Zhezi continued to walk forward, and Ke Yu continued to follow behind him carefully, always ready to protect him behind him in case of danger.

"Wu Lin, have you noticed that this place is completely different from the place you just came to?"

Wu Lin found that the place now was completely different from the place where he just entered the mountain. The place was sunny, but here was lifeless. After a while, he found a scratch on a tree, "It seems that someone got lost here Yes, and marked it."

"It should be a traveler who goes to the mountains."

Ke Yu held Wu Lin's hand in his, "You are tight to me, don't get lost."

"You can't get lost if you hold me like this."

Wu Lin didn't shake it off, and gripped his hand a little tighter with his backhand. The humidity here was extraordinarily heavy, making people feel like they couldn't breathe.

As the two walked, they found that they had returned to the same place as before, and they seemed to have followed the path of the dense forest.

Ke Yu took out his dagger and slashed directly at the tree in front of him. Wu Lin was not in a hurry and didn't think too much, but just remembered the surroundings. No matter how it looked, this place was exactly the same as the place just now.

The two continued to walk forward, and it didn't take long before they returned to the place just now. Ke Yu looked at the marks made on the tree, which were exactly the marks he had made on the tree just now.

"Lin'er."

Ke Yu tightly held Wu Lin behind him, and Wu Lin didn't hesitate to squat down to check the tree in front of him. He touched the tree and then moved forward slowly. Finally, he stopped beside a tree and pushed the tree hard. Come out a hole leading to the other side, "Let's go."

Wu Lin led Ke Yu through the small forest before, and came to the same place as before, again the towering trees completely covered the sun in the sky, and it was impossible to judge their direction according to the sun.

"Are we back again?"

Ke Yu looked at the familiar place in front of him, but Wu Lin continued to walk forward without saying a word, but it was the same place as before, and the exact same place again, as if they were always going in circles.

"Liner,"

Ke Yu held Wu Lin, but Wu Lin turned around and smiled at him, without saying anything to him, and continued to lead him forward, and then turned again. I don't know how many identical places, and finally saw a glimmer of light from one place. It came out from a small gap, "It's finally here."

"So many travelers in front of me will be fascinated by it, I'm afraid it's unbearable to be tortured by the same place." Wu Lin explained, "If my prediction is correct, we just went around here in a big circle. .”

The two walked towards that glimmer of light, and found a village appeared in front of them, "Is this, a ghost village?"

Ke Yu held Wu Lin, and Wu Lin also knelt down and looked at the village not far in front of him. There was a constant flow of people in this village, but it was very quiet inside, without any sound, as if all the sounds of this village were brought into Gone in general.

Ke Yu wanted to go to the village to ask for directions, but Wu Lin stopped him directly, "Wait, something is wrong."

A gust of wind blew by, and the village suddenly disappeared, not even a trace, only a bottomless pothole was left in front of them. When they looked, it was already full of bones. Travelers were deceived by this ghost village, then fell into this pit, and finally starved to death inside.

"This pothole should have sunk out of the ground,"

Wu Lin glanced at the irregular pothole, there was no trace of man-made, and the side of the pothole was full of old soil, it seems that no one has been here for a long time.

Ke Yu looked at the pothole in front of him, fortunately he was stopped by Wu Lin just now, otherwise he might have fallen into this pothole too, it was so high that he might not die or be disabled if he fell, let alone fall from the hole. Climb up again.

"The village?"

Ke Yu was very curious about how the village suddenly appeared and disappeared, as if it had never existed, but the actions and lives of the people inside were exactly the same.

"That's probably a mirage."

Wu Lin once read in an ancient book that the dragon in the sea exhales to form a scene, which looks very real but is actually a false image. I didn't expect to meet it in this mountain today. It seems to be the same as the thick wet in the jungle Air is inextricably linked.

"Well, I really don't know what a mirage is."

He has seen books on war since he was a child, but he knows very little about these things.

"I'll show you to read more books when I go back later."

"Reading during the day, watching you at night."

Ke Yu didn't care what the mirage was, since Wu Lin knew about it, he naturally knew how to get rid of the strangeness of this place, so he just took charge of molesting Wu Lin.

"Ke Yu, go and pick up some dry firewood,"

Wu Lin set up a platform on the ground, and when Ke Yu put down the firewood in his hand, he raised it directly. As the fire rose, he saw the surrounding fog slowly dissipated, and the moonlight outside came from the trees. Through the middle, you can even see a little bit of starlight when you look up.

The reason why this dense forest is opaque is not only because of the density of the trees, but also because of the heavy humidity inside, which makes it impossible for the light to pass through the gaps. Now that it has been baked by fire like this, The humidity receded, and the light naturally came in, but they didn't expect that they had spent such a long time inside, and it was already dark outside.
