"Uncle, the vine spider web we were in just now was weaved by you, right?" Chen Mo said suddenly.
Father nodded.
"Dad, let's go back to the spider web first, and then let Hua'erhong heal you." I said to my father.
The expression on my father's face was very calm and he did not express any objection.
So we planned to go back to the Vine Spider Web first to heal my father's injuries.
However, at this time, there was a burst of blue firelight floating above our heads.
"Who is it?" Chen Mo suddenly shouted.
We looked in the direction of the blue fire, but we didn't see any people or even creatures.
There will be silence in the cracks of the entire mountain.
"Chen Mo, could it be a will-o'-the-wisp?" I said, my voice already trembling a little, and then I looked at my father unconsciously, trying to get some opinions from him.
However, after I caught sight of my father, who was covered in hair, I suddenly remembered that my father could no longer speak.
However, although my father could not speak, his thinking was normal.
I saw him grabbing my wrist, and then motioning me with his eyes to walk in the direction of the will-o'-the-wisp.
After Chen Mo and I got this advice from our father, we hurriedly pulled the vines and climbed towards the will-o'-the-wisp.
"Uncle, is there an ancient tomb in the gap in the mountain?" Chen Mo said to his father while climbing.
The father shook his head, not sure whether to say no or to express that he didn't know.
"No, right!" Chen Mo said.
Father nodded now.
"It's strange. This will-o'-the-wisp is originally caused by the spontaneous combustion of calcium phosphide on the body after death. Since there are no tombs in the mountain, why do there still appear will-o'-the-wisps?" I endured.
He kept saying.
What surprised us was that this will-o'-the-wisp seemed to have legs. As we approached, it floated farther away.
It seems that from beginning to end, it has always been neither close nor far away from us.
This situation is really weird.
If it weren't for Chen Mo, especially if my father was by his side, I would have been scared to death.
Because since Wawu Mountain, although we have seen many strange and strange things, they are basically within the laws of nature.
This is the first time I have seen this supernatural phenomenon.
"Dad, how long have you been in the cracks of this mountain? Have you seen this phenomenon before?" I couldn't help but ask my father.
My father glanced at me, then took out a pen and paper from his small backpack, and wrote on it: "Stop talking, this flame seems to be leading me the way."
I took the note from my father and used the xenon lamp to illuminate the words on the paper. After reading it with Chen Mo, the two of them looked at each other.
Immediately, everyone tacitly shut up.
Sure enough, it was exactly what my father said, that wisp of blue flame was always floating in front of us.
Neither near nor far, as if he was really leading the way for us.
My father, Chen Mo, and I followed quietly behind, and no one said a word.
My father's climbing skills are obviously much better than those of Chen Mo and I. I don't know if this is related to this strange disease that he suffers from.
At this time, I suddenly thought that people who were radiated by the abyss in front of the ancient temple in Wawushan would have an image similar to that of their ancestors.
For example, hair grows on the body.
For example, they suddenly lost the function of language.
For example, climbing technology has made rapid progress.
Just as my head was spinning rapidly, my father who was climbing at the front suddenly stopped.
When I saw this, I looked up and saw that the blue will-o'-the-wisp that had been floating in front of me actually went out for some unknown reason.
Without the guidance of the will-o'-the-wisp, it is really a big problem which way to go among the twists and turns of the mountain.
"The will-o'-the-wisp is gone." I murmured silently as if talking nonsense.
'Uncle, what should we do now? The will-o'-the-wisp suddenly went out, does that mean we have arrived at the place it wants to take us?' Chen Mo asked.
However, my father's eyes were fixed forward and he didn't show any signs of it.
"Dad," I couldn't help calling my father.
Just when I shouted the word "Dad", my father suddenly accelerated and crawled forward.
My father was originally climbing very fast, but now he was obviously speeding up, so Chen Mo and I couldn't keep up.
"Dad, wait for us." I shouted loudly from behind.
However, my father ignored us and ran straight ahead.
Suddenly, Chen Mo pulled me back.
"Zhou Cang, something is wrong. Do you feel that the wind around you has suddenly become stronger?"
When I heard Chen Mo say this, I suddenly realized that at some point, a strong wind suddenly blew around me.
The wind was almost strong enough to inflate my whole body.
"Chen Mo, my dad is in front. No matter how strong the wind is, I will follow him."
At this time, I didn't have the mind to worry too much. I broke away from Chen Mo's hand and chased after my father's back.
The space in the gap is getting bigger and bigger, but the wind is also getting stronger and stronger.
I could barely stabilize myself on the vines.
"Uncle, there is an eye of the storm here, get back quickly." Chen Mo suddenly shouted loudly behind me.
However, it's too late.
About half a meter in front of me, there was a vortex with a diameter of about one meter wide and looked like a human eye, spinning in mid-air.
And my father, by this time, had been swept into the air by the eye of the storm.
"Dad," I yelled, then stretched out my hand, trying to grab my father.
Chen Mo was behind me, holding my calf.
However, the eye of the storm was extremely powerful, and my father seemed to want to enter the eye of the storm, so he had no desire to resist it.
Therefore, I only caught a handful of brown hairs in my hand.
"Dad," I shouted loudly.
My father was soon swept into the eye of the storm.
The center of the eye really looks like a human pupil.
At this moment, that dark pupil was staring straight at me.
I looked at the "pupil" for a few seconds.
Suddenly, I saw my father waving to me in the eye of the wind.
"Cang'er, come in. The astrolabe is inside, but I can't touch it. You need to come and get it yourself." The long hair on my father's body has faded, and his vocal cords have returned to normal.
As usual, he looked kind but dignified.
"The astrolabe, Chen Mo, the astrolabe is in the eye of the storm. My dad asked us to go get it." I turned around and said excitedly to Chen Mo.
"Zhou Cang, you are hallucinating the eye of a storm. Wake up." Chen Mo didn't seem to hear my words and shook me vigorously.
Is it an illusion?
"Zhou Cang, wake up. There is no uncle or anything in the eye of the storm. The astrolabe and uncle are all your illusions. These are the obsessions in your heart."
Chen Mo's voice was so loud, mixed with the sound of the wind, that it almost deafened my ears.
I stared at my father in the eye of the wind, and then looked back at Chen Mo, who had an anxious face, and my heart was actually a little shaken.
In fact, my mind is clear at this moment, and I know that my father has been involved in the whirlpool.
The reason why these hallucinations appear is really because of my dependence on my father and my obsession with the astrolabe.
However, in the end, I chose to break away from Chen Mo's hand, let go of the hand holding the vine, and let the inertia of the eye of the wind sweep me in.
Before I was drowned by the wind, I heard Chen Mo shouting loudly behind me.
What if the astrolabe is really in this vortex?
Anyway, after traveling so many roads, I have bet right many times, so why not bet one more time.
What's more, my father is here too.
I closed my eyes, raised the corners of my mouth slightly, and let the whirlwind suck me in.
