302 , Heart Knocking Trial
The convoy formed a long queue, and countless officials with live ammunition stood in front of the car door and guarded the group of virtuous envoys gathered at the foot of the mountain.
Chen Youcai strode over with Wu Guo and the others. It seemed that he had received an order in advance and cleared the place.
The tourists who stayed up late to climb the mountain to watch the sunrise on weekdays have completely disappeared, including the staff in the ticket office and a group of small vendors.
At the foot of the empty mountain, above the open space in Nuoda, five heavy excavators are humming.
The incandescent lampposts placed around are as straight as snow, piercing through the night like a sharp sword, illuminating the surrounding area of a thousand square meters like daytime.
When Chen Youcai walked over, Old Liu was taking a roll call to assemble, and many people answered the call, all with very solemn expressions.
"You are the last group, you have to be careful, if you really can't do it, just give up the trial, it's not ashamed."
After a while, Chen Youcai used the light to find Lu Ningxiang who was dressed in military uniform. The two looked at each other and smiled, and Lu Ningxiang gave a few words of advice.
"The passage has been dug, and everyone retreats 50 meters!"
At this moment, Old Liu Tou's solemn voice sounded from the front, and the hundreds of merit envoys around the field, including the burly men in charge of logistics, all retreated in unison.
There was a loud bang, and a dark hole suddenly appeared on a rocky cliff that was cut through by the excavator.
Old Liu Tou signaled the excavator team to evacuate, then took out an envelope-shaped thing from his pocket, lit it immediately, and threw it into the hole.
"Group A, enter the hole!"
He turned around and shouted at the stern-looking crowd, and dozens of people left the crowd and walked towards the cave on the stone wall.
Is this the entrance to the Holy Tomb?
Chen Youcai's eyes were wide open, and he saw the fire in the cave flickering away, and dozens of people in Group A all disappeared, as if they disappeared out of thin air!
There was a commotion among the rest of the virtuous envoys, but Old Liu continued to order without changing his expression: "Group B, enter the cave!"
"Group C, enter the hole!"
"Zu Ding, enter the hole!"
"Group E..."
Team after team of virtuous envoys went to the cave one after another, but they all disappeared after the fire flashed away.
Chen Youcai looked a little uneasy. Lu Ningxiang had already entered 10 minutes ago, and there was no news at all at this moment, which made Chen Youcai secretly worried about it.
"Okay, all the remaining meritorious messengers, follow me into the cave!"
At this moment, the old Liu Tou finished speaking loudly, and took the lead to drill towards the cave on the stone wall. Chen Youcai silently followed behind the excited Wu Guo and the others, stepping forward step by step vigilantly.
Before he walked in, he felt a fiery breath coming from the cave. His expression changed, and he vaguely guessed why he had to put on a special heat-insulating suit.
One step, two steps, three steps... As the entrance of the cave got closer, the hot feeling gradually became stronger. A little sweat oozed from Chen Youcai's forehead, and his mouth began to feel dry.
The field of vision was a little dizzy, and he could only vaguely see the outline of the figure shaking. Just as Chen Youcai was concentrating on vigilance, he suddenly saw a flash of fire out of the corner of his eye!
The next moment, his eyes went dark, and then became very bright again. The glare of the light made his eyelids hurt, and he couldn't help squinting his eyes, and raised his hand to cover his forehead.
Didi's whistle sounded from behind, accompanied by exclamations and shouts, Chen Youcai's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help opening his eyes to scan around.
He froze, and his whole body instantly petrified on the spot.
There is a lot of traffic around, the blue sky and white clouds are overhead, and the street trees are rattling by the wind... This is a street scene somewhere in Shifang County!
The holy mausoleum, the entrance to the cave, and Lao Liutou and others... It's gone, it's all gone!
Chen Youcai shook his head desperately, and even slapped himself hard, thinking that he had a hallucination.
But the pungent car exhaust, as well as the refreshing feeling of the afternoon wind blowing on his face, clearly told himself that everything in front of him was real!
"Get out of the way, what the hell are you doing standing in the middle of the road!"
A man's curses sounded behind him, and Chen Youcai turned his head to look, and suddenly saw the figure reflected in the front mirror of the car.
His complexion changed drastically, he quickly lowered his head to look around, and suddenly gasped.
Sure enough, it was the street in my memory, connecting my boarding high school and the college entrance examination room at the other end!
When he came back to his senses, Chen Youcai walked to the side of the street with a sullen face, ignoring the shouting and cursing of the man in the car, but reached into his trouser pocket.
Pencil case, exam admission ticket, and a few crumpled change notes... That's right, he did go back to the noon of the day when he was rushing to the college entrance examination room more than ten years ago!
The sound of the explosion suddenly awakened Chen Youcai from his memories.
He turned his head and saw that at the other end of the zebra crossing in front of him, a three bungee pulling a gas tank collided with a BMW car.
The hood of the white BMW was raised high, the alarm beeped wildly, and the man on the third jumper jumped out of the car in a panic, and obviously twisted the valve of the next gas tank before leaving!
The corners of Chen Youcai's eyes twitched, and he finally understood why the gas tank on the three bunnies would inexplicably burn and explode when Song Yiyi had a car accident.
Everything that dares to love is not a natural disaster, but someone deliberately did it!
Before he had time to think about it, he spread his legs and rushed over with big strides.
"It's too dangerous, boy, don't go there!"
"Hey, are you dying? Don't go, wait for the fire brigade to deal with it!"
"Aren't you stupid, didn't you see that those gas tanks were all burning?"
The passers-by watching from afar were watching the excitement, and some people started calling to report the incident, and some even tried to get closer to save people, but the leaking and burning gas tank still made these people flinch.
But at this moment, a figure rushed into the fire scene like the wind, immediately stunned the crowd who were eating melons, and then exploded.
Chen Youcai ignored the shouts behind him, and only wanted to rescue Song Yiyi from the car.
He took off his T-shirt to cover his mouth and nose, and hurriedly approached the deformed BMW. However, through the broken window, Chen Youcai only took a first look inside, and then he froze suddenly.
The unconscious girl on the driver's seat was not the Song Yiyi he was familiar with...but it was Luo Xiaocui's pretty face with a pointed chin!
Damn it, how could it be Luo Xiaocui... Do you want to save her? ? !
There was a loud bang, and a heat wave hit us head-on. It was obvious that a gas tank not far away had exploded!
Chen Youcai gritted his teeth fiercely, punched the deformed car door lock with his fist, and then stretched out his hand to embrace Luo Xiaocui whose forehead was bleeding.
The next moment, he hugged Luo Xiaocui suddenly, and flew towards the green belt beside him. The moment he almost fell into the bushes, there were thunderous explosions behind him.
Feelings of dizziness came from deep in his mind, Chen Youcai's eyes darkened, and he tried hard to support his eyelids, but he felt more and more depressed.
Finally, his vision was all darkened, as if he had stepped into an endless abyss, and there was no light or sound around him.
However, a few seconds later, Chen Youcai clearly heard someone sighing faintly behind him, and suddenly woke up with a start.
Opening his eyes, he saw Wu Guo and the others staring at him strangely under a large light stick, with expressions of envy and inexplicable loss and sadness.
There was still a hard and dry stone path under his feet, and a dark and endless dome above his head...Looking at the surrounding brown stone walls, Chen Youcai's expression suddenly dawned on him, and he vaguely understood the illusion-like scene just now.
"Congratulations, you are the only person in our group who passed the first level of the heart-knocking trial."
Wu Guo looked complicated, nodded to Chen Youcai, but glanced at his palm from time to time out of the corner of her eyes.
Chen Youcai was stunned for a moment, subconsciously lowered his head to look, but saw a small blue stone tablet in his hand at some time.
"Hold the stone tablet and just go straight ahead...Come on!"
Wu Guo stuffed the large light stick in his hand to Chen Youcai, said with a wry smile, and walked down the same path with the others, dejectedly.
"..."
Chen Youcai watched him go away, and then turned to look at the straight road ahead with no end in sight.
Taking a deep breath, he held the large fluorescent stick for lighting tightly in one hand, and the cold and heavy stone tablet in the other, and walked forward.
