"Huangquan Road, what Huangquan Road?"
I couldn't help but said in surprise: "This ladder leads to the sky. I thought it was a ladder to heaven."
Lao Jiang paid no attention to me, but glanced meaningfully at Ge Weihan: "Principal Ge, you have already reached this stage, do you still want to hide it from us? This is Saijo life, don't you want to live too?"
His words made me even more confused. From what I heard, Geweihan seemed to know something and concealed the inside story.
"Uncle Bearded, don't you want your nose? Is this how you treat your savior?"
Yin Ling'er shouted angrily.
I also tried to persuade me from the side: "Principal Ge, what is the secret? You should find it quickly, otherwise we will really die here."
Ge Weihan sighed and lowered his head in shame: "Yes, I did hide one thing about Wawu Mountain..."
We all looked at Ge Weihan, and Ge Weihan said quietly: "Do you still remember the research group I mentioned to you before?"
I suddenly remembered that before entering the mountain, Ge Weihan once said that a long time ago, there was an expedition team from West China University, and the leader was a British teacher. This thousand-year-old fog.
But twenty years have passed, and they still have no news.
"Is there something fishy about that research team?" I said in surprise.
Ge Weihan nodded: "Alas! In fact, they are a West China death squad heading to Wawu Mountain to find a way to the underworld."
Unexpectedly, this honest-looking bearded man actually hid something from us for some reason.
But now is not the time to settle old scores. What we are most concerned about is what is the so-called Huangquan Road?
Ge Weihan replied: "There is a secret legend in the song "Ecstasy". It is said that when the black fog rises, a transparent ladder will appear in the sky. If you climb this ladder, you will reach the underworld."
"This ladder is the Huangquan Road!"
We looked at each other in shock. In the past, we would not have believed such nonsense, but now that the ladder really appeared in front of us, we couldn't help but not believe it.
Ge Weihan told us that he did not believe it at first, including the group of young people who believed in science. They were the bravest group of young teachers at West China University. In order to break the superstition, they carried the most advanced equipment in the world at the time to climb Mount Wawu and enter Mt.
But the result was extremely distressing. They were all wiped out!
After receiving no news for a long time, Geweihan planned to rescue him, but that night he dreamed of his good friend: British teacher William.
"I don't know what happened to him in Wawu Mountain, but I clearly remember the panic on his face. He held my hand tightly and told me not to come..."
"He was shaking and told me, ladder, we saw the ladder, don't go up, it will take everyone away!"
From then on, Wawu Mountain's Lost Souls became a knot in Ge Weihan's mind.
That was the place he had dreamed of coming, because it was where the best elites from West China University were buried, as well as William, who shared his desire to aid the construction of China.
Over the years, he has visited famous mountains and explored the west, just to accumulate enough adventure experience and one day be able to enter Wawu Mountain.
"It's not that I didn't want to tell you before, I just... I was just afraid that if I told you, you really wouldn't come."
Ge Weihan had to explain intermittently that his energy was insufficient.
The black fog was getting thicker and thicker, so thick that we had completely lost our footing, and the only thing left in sight was this transparent ladder!
Our ears were filled with howls of ghosts, women's cries, men's curses, and children's cries. It was like there were countless invisible ghosts surrounding us.
How can we have the courage to climb this ladder?
I can only use a stick to knock in the west, just like a blind man looking for a place to put my feet.
But now we have completely lost our way. Whether we can get out of here alive can only depend on luck.
However, what we didn't expect was that after we walked a certain distance in one direction, the ladder appeared in front of us again.
We changed the direction again, and it still stood there, waiting for our steps.
Now we were even more at a loss. The western area was covered with black fog, but the ladder was like a ghost that couldn't be shaken off.
Wherever we go, it is there, calling us up.
But the more this happens, the more we know this is a trap!
Everyone stopped, no longer wasting energy, and then a more terrifying scene appeared.
A few faint figures gradually came down from the top of the ladder, including Baishui, Qiu Xiuxiu, Diao Ye, and even my dead father.
They smiled and waved at us, and walked down the ladder little by little, asking us why we didn't go up.
"Li Jinglan, hurry up, you're the only one left." Master Diao impatiently tapped the ground with his jade cane, as if he thought I was too slow.
At this moment, I suddenly heard rustling footsteps in my ears.
Following the sound, a group of funeral processions actually appeared in the black mist. The one at the front was actually tall and thin, one black and one white, holding a mourning stick in his hand.
No, aren't they the legendary black and white impermanence?
What's going on? Is this really Huangquan Road?
"Li Jinglan, it's time to hit the road." Hei Bai Wuchang looked at me expressionlessly and asked me to go up the ladder.
I looked up and saw that the people standing on the ladder were all dead people, including the one-eyed sand fox, Xiao Wu from the Free Commune, and even the tomb robber Zheng Sanpao.
They were all calling my name, calling me over.
But why should I go up the ladder?
I do not want to!
At this moment, I saw the funeral procession following Black and White Wuchang. It turned out to be Lao Jiang, Ge Weihan, and even Yin Ling'er.
Yin Ling'er walked slowly holding a black and white photo of the deceased.
At that moment, I was shocked!
The person in the photo is actually me, Li Jinglan!
I kept retreating, but behind me was the terrifying long ladder. I bypassed the long ladder, no longer caring about the mire and swamp at my feet, and rushed into the black mist like crazy.
At this time, I couldn't think of anything in my mind. I just wanted to run forward, run as hard as I could. I wanted to escape from that group of people, and I didn't want to go up the ladder.
What a hell road, I won’t take that road!
However, there was a black and white ghostly voice coming from behind, like the sound of crushed dead leaves, which made people's scalp numb: "Li Jinglan, you are dead, now come back with us."
"No, I'm not dead, I'm not dead!"
I roared, each voice louder than the last, trying to drown out the hoarse yell like a withered leaf.
But the familiar voices of Lao Jiang and others rang in my ears: "Apprentice, have you forgotten? We were lost in the Ecstasy for three days and three nights. We ran out of water and dry food, and we were all trapped to death. In the ecstasy!"
