Chapter 223 Nightmare
Wu Suowei looked at the water with deep eyes, then turned his head and looked at the man with black glasses calmly and said:
"Legend has it that the King of the South Sea's divine weapon, driven by thunder, can fulfill all wishes. Since it can fulfill all wishes, then regrets can naturally be put to rest."
"At this point we can't help but believe it. As long as you keep moving forward, I believe you will get rid of the regrets in your heart."
Listening to Wu Suowei's words, the man with black glasses walked towards the tent with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Watching Black Glasses leave, Wu Suowei once again stood alone by the river in silence. Bai Haotian looked puzzled and asked:
"Can Leicheng really heal all regrets?"
"Time cannot be reversed, and Leicheng cannot eliminate all regrets." There was no fluctuation in Wu Suowei's voice.
Then he turned to Bai Haotian and smiled: "But it can alleviate most of the regrets."
When Fatty Wang called everyone to eat, everyone immediately returned to the campfire.
Looking at the roasted chicken on the fire rack, the group of people who had been eating dry food for a long time couldn't help but start to swallow their saliva.
A fragrant roast chicken, coupled with warming white wine, seemed to fill everyone with positive energy and they ate with great vitality.
After the meal, Bai Haotian was the only one left to clean up the mess. Fatty Wang ran to the water and suddenly had a good idea to train new people.
He glanced at Liu Sang, then summoned Liu Sang, pointed at the water and said, “Hey, hey, hey, look at that.”
"What?" Liu Sang frowned and walked towards Fatty Wang.
"Look there, look there, don't you see it?" The fat man pointed to the water.
"Where is that thing?" Liu Sang stretched his head and looked in the direction where Fatty Wang pointed. There was not even a single fish in the clear stream.
"There, there." The fat man's finger was still pointing at the water, watching Liu Sang's focus on the water.
Fatty Wang quickly ran behind Liu Sang and buttocked Liu Sang. With such a huge force, Liu Sang immediately flew up.
Liu Sang finally realized that he had been tricked. It was too late to fix the situation. With a splash, he fell straight into the water.
"Fatty!" Liu Sang wiped the water off his face, turned around and saw that everyone in the team had smiles on their faces, especially Fatty Wang, who was dancing with joy.
"Sober and have fun."
"Don't think you can cause trouble here just because you have big eyes."
"I am going to teach you a lesson, Fatty. You should feel lucky to have done so."
"Don't think I'll go easy on you just because you're my fan."
The fat man looked at Liu Sang who was splashing water and rapping below. Suddenly, his expression changed and a smile appeared on his face.
Liu Sang noticed the fat man's expression and was stunned. Following the fat man's gaze, he saw a corpse in simple clothes floating towards him.
Fatty Wang immediately called everyone over. When they arrived, Liu Sang was already surrounded by corpses. Wu Suowei checked the shape of the corpses.
Although these corpses floated over, they did not appear swollen from being soaked, and it was obvious that they had fallen into the water not long ago.
"Where did these corpses come from?" Bai Haotian asked puzzledly.
"Judging from the shape, this kind of corpse has not been soaked in water all the time. Liu Sang, go down and see if there is a passage underwater."
When Wu Suowei's words reached Liusang's ears, he looked at the corpse beside him and felt disgusted. After thinking for a while, he dived underwater.
While everyone was talking, Liu Sang emerged from the water. Listening to everyone's questions, he gathered his long hair that was covering his eyes and said:
"I see there are corpses all over the bottom. There is a hole over there. The hole is very deep. It should lead to another space."
"Let's go and have a look together."
As he spoke, Wu Suowei put on his equipment and jumped into the water. There were all kinds of dead bodies standing densely at the bottom of the water.
Judging from their style, they belong to the former human sacrifices that were gradually eliminated during the Han Dynasty.
But there are exceptions to everything, and this backward system still exists in barbaric places.
Now that they are close to human sacrifice, it is enough to prove that everyone is infinitely close to Thunder City.
Underwater, Wu Suowei looked at the time it took the two people to swim over, and it was only two minutes.
As for this time, almost everyone in the team can meet the two-minute standard, and it is another scene when two people surface.
There were seven or eight giant statues of Thor standing in front of them, all moving in different directions. They formed a circle, with corpses as high as a person piled up in the middle of the statues.
They are stacked so neatly together because someone did it intentionally in the past.
I guess only Wu Sansheng would be so bored as to pile up the dead bodies together.
Seeing this scene, Wu Suowei asked Liu Sang to stay in the cave while he returned the same way.
In five or six minutes, a group of people landed here. Everyone looked at the pile of corpses and the fat man wondered:
"What the hell is this place? Why are there so many dead bodies?"
The man with black glasses said expressionlessly, "The bodies are in different stages of decay. They probably did not die at the same time."
"In my opinion, this is the entrance to the core area of Leicheng."
The people around him immediately fell into deep thought, and the man with black glasses continued to guess: "These people are the pilgrims from all dynasties in Leicheng."
"They came here with regrets and desires in their hearts, but they didn't expect to die here."
It is said that the artifact of the King of the South Sea can heal all regrets. Seeing this group of people die here, Fatty Wang suddenly realized:
"Oh, so that's how you can calm down all your regrets. If you die, of course you won't think of any regrets, right?"
Everyone ignored him and continued exploring the cave. Wu Suowei looked at the young man. He should have discovered something in the cave as well, but remained silent.
Noticing Wu Suowei's eyes, the young man pulled up the corners of his mouth stiffly, then stood there without saying a word.
Then Wu Suowei walked towards the corpses.
According to his speculation, piling up the corpses was Wu Sanxing's way of doing things out of boredom. Since he piled up the corpses, there must be some clues in them for future generations.
Wang Pangzi listened to Black Glasses's guess and couldn't help asking, "Dude, where is the entrance?"
Black Glasses laughed at himself: "If they were so easy to find, they wouldn't have died here. Everyone, please be careful."
Seeing Wu Suowei constantly throwing corpses down from the top, the fat man's eyes sparkled. Look, this is a very careful man, just like Fatty.
He continued to touch the corpse, but after just a glance at the shiny corpse oil, he still took the stick and dug into the corpse.
Liu Sang, who was searching, heard the sound of the body hitting the ground, and subconsciously looked at Wu Suowei and Wang Pangzi and said:
"Fatty, Little Wu, aren't we looking for the entrance? Why are you two just rummaging through corpses?"
"Let me see if there are any treasures?" Fatty Wang took the time to reply, turning his head to look at Liu Sang's contemptuous expression, and Fatty Wang raised his head to explain
"Don't you think it's a big risk to appease your regret? Look here, is there anything precious? I'll put it in my pocket first."
"They might just go back without taking anything with them right now, which would be a real pity." "You, really are a thief who never leaves empty-handed." Liu Sang wondered.
"Alas, Liu Sang, this is the wisdom of making a fortune. I don't think the light of wisdom has hit your head."
Wu Suowei continued to throw the bodies on the ground, and then said, "Do you think these bodies would lie on top of each other when they died? It's obviously man-made."
"Would ordinary tomb robbers care about such boring things as piling up corpses? Only thieves like us can be different. Do you understand?"
Listening to Wu Suowei's words, a light bulb lit up next to Fatty Wang's head: "Hey, Third Uncle!"
As soon as the voice fell, Wu Xie, who was looking around for clues, immediately ran to the body: "Where is Third Uncle? Where is Third Uncle?"
"Your third uncle is not here. I guess your third uncle left a clue under this body." Wu Suowei rolled his eyes and pulled down another body.
"Oh, there really is a clue." Fatty Wang looked at the oil paper under the corpse in astonishment.
Wu Xie noticed the oil paper and pulled it out from under the corpse.
After opening it, he found an old notebook with Wu Sansheng's name on it. The fat man exclaimed, "It's actually your uncle's notebook!"
On the other side in the primeval forest, Boss Jiao, wearing a gas mask, was sitting on the ground leaning against a rock to rest.
He lowered his head slightly and looked a little depressed. The head of the Wang family walked up to him and reported:
"Boss Jiao, we don't have much food left. If we can't find a way to get into the city, our supplies will run out soon!"
Listening to the hostility in the voice of the eldest brother of the Wang family, it is obvious that if this continues, the Wang family will take action against others for their own safety.
Although those people are not very reliable, they are also a balancing force in the team.
Hearing the sound of thunder, Boss Jiao relaxed his frown and regained his confidence.
"Let's just follow the direction of the thunder. Wherever the thunder goes, that's where we want to go!"
"I understand." The head of the Wang family immediately went back to reorganize the team.
Outside the tent, Wu Suowei was using branches to light a burning bonfire. The moon was bright and the sound of insects could be heard all around.
The surroundings seemed exceptionally quiet, with Fatty Wang, Bai Haotian, Liu Sang and others nearby all busy with their own affairs.
Rumble, thunder sounded, and it started raining again from the sky, dripping on my body.
Bai Haotian threw the branch in his hand into the campfire: "It's raining again."
"Yeah, I finally understand what's going on in this damn place. It rains every other day." Fatty Wang said helplessly.
A burst of cool air hit them, and everyone shivered. Looking at the warm tent behind them, Bai Haotian smiled and said, "I'm going to rest."
"Yeah." The fat man nodded at the same time, and then said: "A golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse."
As they were talking, the group of people gathered around the campfire instantly walked towards their respective tents. Watching them leave, Wu Suowei also walked into his own tent.
As soon as I lay down, I felt a little dizzy, and then strange movements kept appearing in my mind.
This action involves kneeling, as if people in the past were offering sacrifices to Lei Cheng. Wu Suowei immediately stood up, unzipped the tent, and walked outside.
As soon as I moved, the headache disappeared without a trace. With this sudden stimulation, the sleepiness in my mind gradually disappeared.
Then I went to the memory that was forced into my mind and took a walk in the rain in the mountains and forests. When I arrived at the destination, I found a cliff in front of me.
The chill of the night invaded the tent, and Wu Xie's lungs began to act up, constantly reminding him that it was time to take medicine.
Looking at Fatty Wang rolling over and over on the ground, calling Piaopiao's name all the time, it seems that he really misses home.
Wu Xie, who was no longer sleepy, walked out of the tent and came to the table where tea was placed. He took the medicine with warm water and looked up at the dark clouds and the constant thunder and lightning.
Suddenly, his uncle's words appeared in his mind: enter Thunder City and survive. Wu Xie didn't know whether this thought was self-consolation or really came from heaven.
The weather was cold, and he couldn't help but move closer to the bonfire that was still burning. A voice was heard, and Wu Xie looked behind him. Fatty Wang was standing behind him.
He smiled and felt a hint of warmth. Glancing at the coat draped over his shoulders, Wu Xie suddenly felt he dared not face the fat man's warmth.
For so many years, I have always been like a child. Before I could tell them about the cold and warm seasons, the people around me had already prepared everything.
Seeing Fatty Wang’s fist extended again, Wu Xie gave a bitter smile.
He bumped his fists together, then placed his hand under the fat man's hand, and a handful of peanuts fell on his hand.
Watching the fat man blowing on his hands as he walked into the tent, and then looking at the handful of peanuts, there was a copper coin in it.
Yin and Yang, life and death, the literal meaning is Yang and the price is Yin. After measuring my fortune, I found that both sides of the coin are Yang.
He put the copper coin in his pocket and ate peanuts alone. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the young man standing not far away.
Wu Xie opened his hand holding the peanuts and asked silently. When he saw that the little brother agreed to share, he couldn't help but smile.
In the tent, Bai Haotian sat alone and dreamed: "Xiao Wuzi, don't be Bilian!"
"don't want..!"
Bai Haotian turned around and saw Wu Xie sleeping on his knees beside the campfire. He ran over and reported:
"Master San, I think Liu Sang is a little strange. He walked out by himself, but when I called him, he didn't respond."
“No response?” Wu Xie asked, and after getting Bai Haotian’s reply, Wu Xie looked at the mountain road and said, “Let’s go and take a look.
Liu Sang followed Wu Xie all the way with doubts in his heart. It was as if he was sleepwalking. No, it was as if he had been here before and was very familiar with the road here.
Walking forward, he saw another person. Bai Haotian looked at the back and said, "It seems like they made an appointment. Why did they come to the top of the cliff?"
No, not like that. Wu Xie followed him and looked at Wu Suowei standing on the edge of the cliff. He just turned around and looked at Liu Sang.
Liu Sang stood on the edge of the cliff, his hands swinging continuously as he fell down, and finally he knelt on the ground as if performing some kind of ritual.
The two of them watched Liu Sang stand up and prostrate himself in front of him and walk towards the cliff. Bai Haotian screamed and closed his eyes.
Wu Xie looked at Wu Suowei who had caught Liu Sang and immediately ran up to him: "What's going on? What's going on?"
After the voice fell, Liu Sang woke up with a puzzled look on his face: "Why am I here? Wasn't I resting in the tent? Did I travel through time and space?"
It seemed that he didn't know what was going on. When Wu Suowei was about to answer the question, he suddenly saw Fatty Wang coming out from the bushes.
The movement remains the same, as if he is about to jump down from above.
