Journey to the Rose

No, you can't just hit the road rashly.

If nothing is ready, only bad things will happen.

I have to find something to wrap the wound again!

Wrap it thicker, so that when you climb out of the cave later, your arm will not hurt too much when it hits the stone wall.

Thinking of this, Ruan Xi remembered the hemostatic bandage that Lu Zhenghe stuffed into his mouth to prevent groaning, and his face became a little hot.

Was it that loud!

He quickly patted one side of the face to wake himself up, can he stop thinking about other things now besides running for his life!

But even with the help of the light inside the cave, Ruan Xi couldn't visually measure the distance from the entrance of the cave.

He was worried about the condition of his arm, and he didn't want to drag everyone down, so he had to ask: "How long is this cave?"

"About □□ ten kilometers," Wen Kai gestured, his arms spread out, and then slowly retracted outwards and inwards, and said, "The road ahead will be much narrower than it is now, and we must be prepared to get dirty."

After speaking, he glanced at Ruan Xi.

Ruan Xi nodded: "That's not a problem."

"Look! We have a compass under our feet!"

Suddenly, a shout from a passerby interrupted their conversation.

The man's voice was loud enough, and he yelled loudly, causing all the people who were still lingering in the hall to stop suddenly and looked down at their feet.

In the "hall" of the dungeon they were in, apart from the mud that made the soles of their feet sticky as soon as they stepped on them, there was also a huge compass embedded on the ground.

It appears to be used for directions.

There is a golden magnetic needle in the middle of the compass, and the magnetic needle is surrounded by concentric circles, which spread out slowly, and the entire sole of the foot is a compass.

The entire compass is also dark gold.

It was embedded in the mud, but its luster remained undiminished. It seemed that some god was really blessing this small piece of land belonging to the underground abyss.

Ruan Xi lowered her head and found that they were standing in the middle of the compass.

Most coincidentally, Ruan Xi and Lu Zhenghe happened to be standing in the direction of "Kan Gua".

At once, he saw the Peugeot that was broken in the middle of the first horizontal line, stretched in the second horizontal line, and broken in the middle of the third horizontal line. It was very eye-catching——

Kan Gua.

Represents pits and water.

Coincidentally, it also represents North.

"Hey, move your steps." Wen Kai also noticed, frowned, and reminded them in a low voice: "Don't stand on it. It's a combination of danger and hardship, and the meaning is not good."

Even though Wen Kai spoke in a low voice, he was still heard by a local nearby.

"A bright moon fell into the water, but in the end it was nothing..."

The man said quietly, and raised the ending sound, "Kan Gua, take risks and use risks. Guests from afar, why do you take dangerous roads and do risky things?"

Wen Kai twitched the corners of his mouth as he listened to the man's crappy lingua franca, not bothering to answer.

"This hexagram is not good," the local continued, "Look, you are standing on this bad hexagram."

Ruan Xi couldn't bear it after being said inexplicably.

He seldom talked to anyone in person, and now he couldn't control himself, raised his eyes and raised his voice: "Because there is no other choice."

"Don't listen to him..."

Wen Kai quickly grabbed his arm, fearing that something would happen to this big baby who is moody and easy to get on top of, so he quickly said, "Kan Gua is not bad."

Lu Zhenghe remained silent.

His cold face and bluffing appearance are still somewhat intimidating, but the most frightening thing is the ferocious-looking gun lying across his chest.

Lu Zhenghe pursed his lips tightly, and slightly blocked Ruan Xi, exuding a little rose scent to comfort him.

Hearing what Wen Kai said, the man smiled contemptuously, "Do you understand?"

"Kan Gua."

Lu Zhenghe opened his mouth, and the unique magnetic voice of a teenager who became a young man sounded, "The same hexagram overlaps, which means that the danger is added to the danger. However, if the yin is deficient and the yang is full, if the belief is firm, good results can be achieved."

He said this to the native.

Ruan Xi quickly turned to look at Lu Zhenghe, as if asking Lu Zhenghe, really?What responded to him was that Lu Zhenghe increased his strength and squeezed his palm quietly.

During the confrontation, a crumbling stone pillar fell from the ceiling of the cave and shattered onto the compass.

The atmosphere was a little tense.

"Don't quarrel..."

A well-meaning passerby interrupted their conversation, "But, is this really a usable compass?"

"Humph!"

Another shirtless man stretched out his thumb and wiped it from the side of the tip of his nose. His thick black eyebrows were raised, and his tone was very disdainful: "Outsiders, what a fuss! Haven't you seen it before? used to guide the way."

Another passerby became curious: "Guide the way?"

"What are you doing to guide the way? Isn't there only one way to the north in this dungeon of yours?" Someone beside him echoed.

Wen Kai suddenly spoke out, whispering beside Ruan Xi: "This is an old man."

"Huh?" Looks like a strong man.

"There are no seasons in the cave, and the biological cycle is broken, which is why the people in the dungeon seem to have a gap with their real age." Wen Kai said.

"Look at the strange landscape of this cave, and it is subject to river water seepage at any time. It is very easy to form a molten ditch, and it may also form a fracture surface." The man knocked on the wall, and his voice did have a sense of vicissitudes that did not match his age. "Don't think that these There is no road in the place, and when it suddenly collapses one day, a new road will be opened up. Therefore, the residents of our city made a compass to prevent them from getting lost."

No wonder he likes to preach.

Ruan Xi thought, seeing that Lu Zhenghe hadn't moved, and the two of them were still standing firmly on the "Kan Gua" in place.

He whispered, "Is what you refuted just now true?"

"Yes."

"You still understand this."

"We will learn some simple popular science. Because the land area is vast, there are many things that need to be understood." Lu Zhenghe said, "The most important thing about this hexagram is 'should step by step and gradually escape danger'."

Ruan Xi nodded.

He believed what Lu Zhenghe said even more, because Lu Zhenghe would no longer hide anything from him.

And Lu Zhenghe lowered his eyes lightly, and once again his eyes fell on the pattern of the hexagram——

There is a yang line in the middle of the Kan hexagram, but the upper and lower lines are all yin lines.

The yang line is complete and perfect, while the yin line is flanking it, which seems to mean that beauty is surrounded by danger, and it is a state of beauty falling into a quagmire.

It is in the true north direction, representing flowing water going to a distant place, and it is a long journey.

There are also lies in "Han".

Then this "lie" must be what he concealed from Ruan Xi at the beginning.Thinking of this, Lu Zhenghe frowned slightly.

His Ruan Xi has always loved him, from beginning to end.

The other party can forgive him anytime and anywhere, courtship is eager, and the sincerity between each other is more important than anything else.

Someone touched the candle in the wall lamp, the figure swayed on the compass, and the light in the cave dimmed slightly.

Lu Zhenghe's eyes began to dim, and his eyeballs seemed to be covered with a glass-like barrier.That gloomy feeling came back to him again.

The feeling of forgetting the past is not good.

If possible, Lu Zhenghe will find a way to get all those memories back.

He was thinking about the cities he would visit next, thinking silently in his heart, is there such a possibility...

However, he is too familiar with the north, and has hardly heard of a place that can help people restore their memories.

Every time Ruan Xi was talking, he was listening, but he couldn't remember.

He has endured this feeling of being swallowed by guilt for too long.

He suddenly regretted why he fought back when they met for the first time. He should let Ruan Xi beat him harder, and harder.

Thinking about it now, his sentence "You are broken in love" is really the most asshole thing in the world.

Looking at it now, there is a scarlet line drawn on the bottom surface of the compass, which seems to be made of some kind of red ore, and the north end of the magnetic needle coincides with the bottom line of the sea.

Time was running out, and they had already eaten food to replenish their energy, so they stopped standing still and accelerated towards the exit.

As he walked forward, Ruan Xi found that not only the road became narrower, but also the height of the entire space became more and more depressed, and the environment and atmosphere seemed more depressing and suffocating.

The dripping water above the head is deposited and splashed, and hangs upside down on the dome during the crystallization process, forming stone pillars one after another.

The karst is curled like a wave, and the flowing water reappears, and flows horizontally, and finally falls on the edge of the bottomless pond, turning into small waterfalls.

Next, they walked for a whole day on the wet roads of the dungeon.

Ruan Xi's arm hurts badly, and it feels like it has an infection.He walked deeper and deeper, and felt a little short of breath.The air here is not as abundant as before.

The water flows and winds on the cave wall, forming neat and elegant flow marks...

The sound of water falling from a height echoed throughout the underground city space.

With sharp eyes, Ruan Xi caught a glimpse of the well-shaped molten pool beside the lava.

Small, spherical off-white particles gathered in the molten pool.

"What's that?" he asked.

"That's a cave pearl," Wen Kai walked over, carefully took out a seldom-used glove from his pocket, put it on lightly, and twisted a white spherical object in his palm, "It's composed of some stone sediments. Yes, it looks like a pearl."

Lu Zhenghe squatted down, quietly looking at those cave pearls.

Ruan Xi stood not far away and looked at him, thinking, wouldn't this person want to pick up rocks again?

Finally, they bypassed the curtain-like stone curtain and came to the exit of the dungeon—a hole leading to the outside world.

The passage of the cave is very narrow, and it is not convenient for people who are too strong to get in. It is necessary to "hit the wall" all over the body before they can barely get out.

Ruan Xi closed her eyes, feeling the strong wind blowing from the entrance of the cave.

The taste of this wind is fresh and refreshing, completely different from the stuffy and chilly wind in the dungeon.After careful calculation, they hadn't smelled anything outside the cave for two whole days.

Wen Kai said that you can't stay in the ground for a long time. The low temperature and too dull air will affect the human body and cause hallucinations easily.

Now, he's about to face his inner fears.

This fear does not come from the process of crawling alone in the cave, but also from the unknown exit.

Now there is no one in front, and no movement has been heard. The people who set out first have already crawled in the cave.

Because the opening of the cave was too narrow, many people had to drop their carry-on luggage.

Those luggage were abandoned on the sedimentary rocks, Ruan Xi felt that they were like relics, and they would never wait for their masters.

Li Shen saw a box of dried mangoes next to an abandoned pocket, the packaging was still covered with plastic film, and a piece of children's clothing was placed on top of it, as if a child forgot to eat it and left it behind.

Gu Zirong was young and exhausted a lot of physical energy. He failed to win the fight just now, and his stomach was growling with hunger. After hesitating for a moment, he squatted down and picked up the box of dried mangoes.

He unpacked it and asked Li Shen: "Captain, do you want to eat?"

"Eat." Li Shen took it neatly and stuffed it into his mouth.

Wen Kai glared at him: "How do you pick up things to eat?"

"Hey, food is so scarce now, what are you paying attention to? Why don't you eat what others throw here?" Li Shen rubbed his stomach, "Anyway, no one eats it, and it hasn't been opened yet. If you don't eat it, you won't eat it!"

Ruan Xi nodded, and said: "You don't take advantage of the bastard."

He still had a very cold expression on the surface, but there was a smile in his eyes.

Lu Zhenghe was taken aback, he didn't expect Ruan Xi to answer such a sentence, he was overjoyed, "Where did you learn that?"

You know I'm grounded, right?

Ruan Xi was a little proud.
