Part One: Intertwined Time and Space Chapter Two: The Spiritual Stone of Fate
Chapter 173: Helpless Result
After changing people, it's still the same as last time. As long as the clear moon doesn't move, the fog won't move either. As long as Yueqing moves forward, the fog will definitely retreat.
Yue Qing stood beside Qi Jiao and the others, looking helplessly at Wu who was still so far away from her.
"It seems right. The fog will indeed move with my movements. Why? Are you afraid of me?"
Chang Yuxiao looked ahead and said, "I'm probably afraid of hurting you. There is something in this fog. If others go in, something will happen to them, but it will be different if you go in."
"It means that only I can travel through it at will. Is it similar to that barrier?"
Chang Yuxiao nodded.
Yue Qing looked around: "But the barrier is dead and has always been there. How does this fog know it's me? Can it move according to my position?"
Qi Hou said: "This may be a good thing."
Yue Qing looked at him, "What good thing?"
"It means that the master of the hospital is connected to the forbidden place. It is possible for you to find out where the forbidden place is."
Yueqing sighed, "But we have been walking for so long, and we are so far away. I don't know what kind of place this forbidden place is. It's not just woods or woods. Where is the forbidden place? What is the forbidden place? A building Is it? Or some kind of deep pit? I heard that the forbidden area may be very wide. I can't dig through the land piece by piece."
Qi Hou said helplessly: "This is indeed a problem."
Yue Qing frowned and looked at the sky. The sun had not reached the mountain yet. The air was still very hot, even hotter than when they set out.
"No, while it's not cold yet, how about we try another method, such as walking to one side and leaving people where they are to see if the fog will return after I leave?"
Qi Hou nodded.
Qi Jiao said: "I'll stay."
Yue Qing said: "It's okay, we won't move too fast. Since the fog will be so far away from me, it will be easy to control and won't hurt anyone."
Qi Jiao nodded.
Qi Hou said: "Master, should we tell the third elder and them?"
Yue Qing turned her head: "Yes, the location where the Third Elder and the others are standing should also be in the foggy place before. Isn't it very safe now? Okay, Uncle Huai, if you can't, go over and talk to the Third Elder and the others. We'll wait here. On."
Chang Huai nodded and flew away.
Yue Qing was sitting on the slope beside her. San Yuxiao took out a cake and gave it to her, "You are hungry, let's have something to eat."
Yue Qing looked at this cake, it was the kind given by Qiaoer. Not very tasty.
Yue Qing thought for a moment and took it.
"Do you guys eat this when you go out?"
The four of them looked at each other and Chang Hou smiled and said: "Under normal circumstances, the red guards in the villa will not go out. If the Qi family goes out, they will not be particular about what to eat."
Yue Qing glanced at him, thinking that they probably didn't eat as much as this.
Yue Qing took a bite and said, "If I go out, I definitely don't want to compromise on the food I eat. If the time is long, I have to find a way to eat more on the way. "
San Yuxiao smiled and said: "After all, there are not so many usable materials on this road, so it will naturally be harder than in the villa. However, I will just buy it for you when I pass by some villages and towns. This cake is a bit dry, come and drink it. Some water."
Yue Qing looked at him, "Do you think I'm squeamish?"
"No, you're already fine."
Yue Qing rolled her eyes at him.
"By the way, I ate late, but you ate early. We've been walking for so long, aren't you hungry?"
Chang Rong said: "We consume far less than the hospital owner thinks. For activities like this, it won't be bad if we don't eat for a day."
"Huh? No matter how small the consumption is, you still have to eat normally throughout the day." Yue Qing took another sip of water, but she really couldn't eat it. At least some pickles would be fine. "Hey, I'm in a bad mood, and I'm not too hungry." Yue Qing wrapped the pancake in paper, thinking that she must find a way to improve the food.
Just as he was sighing, Chang Huai came back. Not only him, but also the third elder, Chang Song, and Mo Xue came together.
Yue Qing looked at them, "Third Elder, why are you here?"
The third elder said: "Chang Huai and I both said that I already know the situation and have asked Chang Bai to go back and tell the first elder and the others. I came in first, and there are others who stayed behind."
Yue Qing sighed and looked at the fog deeper in the woods: "The third elder must have seen it too, the fog will go away by itself."
"I saw it. This is a good thing. At least it means we can enter the woods."
Yue Qing looked at him: "We have been walking for a long time, and there is no trace of the forbidden area. Our ultimate goal is still the forbidden area."
The third elder smiled and said: "Master Qingyue, don't worry too much. Don't be in a hurry. Now that you can come in, the forbidden area will be discovered sooner or later."
Yue Qing nodded, "That's all we can do now. We plan to try another plan. What's certain at the moment is that the fog will automatically give way because of my approach. I just don't know if it will happen if I leave. It will go back to the original position. So we want to try to let one person stay where he is, and I move to the side, and then see if the fog is approaching here."
Mo Xue said: "This situation probably won't happen, at least not in the short term. After all, where we are standing is the place that was originally covered by fog. If this really happens, the place where we are standing should have been covered by fog just now." It’s covered. I think that wherever the hospital owner walks, there should be no fog anymore, or there won’t be fog in a short period of time.”
Qi Hou said: "What Deacon Xue said makes sense."
Yue Qing looked at the woods: "Where did the people who disappeared earlier go? Are they still moving after losing contact? We have walked such a long way but we haven't seen any corpses. Will they still return? Stay alive."
Qi Houdao: "The possibility is very small. It should have turned into ashes."
"Can clothes and the like also turn into ashes?"
Qi Hou said: "That's not true. Clothes will not rot, and at least weapons and the like will not be affected."
Yue Qing said: "So, they must have moved. Even if they didn't move by themselves, they were moved by something. Oh my god, the more I think about it, the more scared I am. If that person is alive, then he has lost contact with his companions and has been alone. Going deeper into the fog, if a person dies, it is because they were dragged away by something, a predator or what you call a mechanism.
What kind of place is this forbidden area? It's just a forest outside the forbidden area. It's so mysterious and dangerous. If I were alone, I would not dare to come. "
The third elder smiled and said: "Master Qingyue Yuan can't be alone here."
Yue Qing nodded: "Yeah. So what do you think I should do now? Should we still try now?"
Mo Xue thought for a moment and said, "Mark the places where the master of the hospital passes, and then we will try to return from other places."
Qi Hou said: "It's almost time to go back. In a while, the sun will be blocked by the mountains, and it will start to get cold here. The hospital master will catch a cold if he stays here all the time."
The third elder said: "Just do what Mo Xue said."
Yue Qing stood up, sighed and said, "Okay, let's go." She turned around and looked at the fog in the distance, "Xiao Lingwei, can you smash into that fog with a stone?"
San Yuxiao looked at the distance and said, "Okay."
Yue Qing said: "Smash it."
San Yuxiao coughed, thought for a while, and picked up a stone and threw it into the fog. Yue Qing didn't even see the traces of the flying stone. I just saw him make a move.
"Did it smash it?"
"Smashed."
"Do you feel like you hit something?"
“It still feels like I’m in contact with the trees.”
Yueqing looked over there, put her hand to her mouth, and shouted over there:
"Hey, is there anyone alive inside? Why do you keep running?" There was silence, and the corner of Chang Song's mouth twitched.
Yueqing paused for a while, then shouted: "It's getting cold, let's go back first, and come back to play with you another day."
Chang Yuxiao lowered his head to cover his mouth and laughed.
Several other people also had different expressions.
Yue Jing thought for a moment, then shouted over there: "I have a delicious piece of cake hanging on the tree. If you are hungry, come out and eat it."
Yue Qing put down her hand and gave the pancake to San Yuxiao, "Hey, hang it wherever you like."
Chang Yuxiao looked at the messy piece of pancake wrapped by her, picked it up and put it on the branch.
Yue Qing let out a sigh of relief, "It's a pity, there's not much gain, let's go."
