Chapter 359: Dead Knot
Deep at the bottom of the well, the firelight could only illuminate a small area, especially in the unknown passage, it was pitch black, I didn't know what was in the passage, in the deep silence, I suddenly heard a slight breathing sound, very frightening.
The moment I heard the voice, countless thoughts crossed my mind. What is alive in this passage at the bottom of the holy well? What is it? Person? Monster? A creature I've never seen before?
These thoughts made me anxious to find out, but also frightened me, and I lay at the mouth of the cave and listened intently, the sound of breathing coming and going, and for a maximum of three minutes, the sound of breathing seemed inaudible.
I can't imagine anything alive here. With a strong curiosity, I slowly leaned into the passage halfway up, the mouth of the passage was only more than a meter in diameter, but once I got in, the space was larger, and I could move forward with a cat's waist.
Once I was inside, I took out a flashlight, which I had brought with me and had been useless. The light of the flashlight shone straight out, and I could vaguely see that the passage was only seven to eight meters long.
As I slowly moved forward, the sound of breathing, which had disappeared, seemed to sound again. In the quiet passage, the sound of breathing seemed to fill every corner, and this time, I could tell that the breathing was coming from the end of the passage.
The passage of seven or eight meters was soon at its end, and as soon as the passage was nearing its end, I saw a staircase that stretched downward.
At first glance, this staircase looks very old, carved directly from the rock. Although the entire staircase bears the marks of time and time, I don't think there are many opportunities for this staircase to be used, because there is no weathering, so the edges and corners of the staircase are still very distinct, and there are almost no signs of wear.
This place has existed for a long time, but no one has set foot in it.
The stairs were about six to seven meters apart, and when I stepped down the first stone step, the sound of breathing seemed to be a little clearer.
By this time, I could hear that it was supposed to be the sound of human breathing. Calm, soothing, as if a person is in a deep sleep.
The source of the sound of breathing should not be far away.
I walked up the stone steps to the bottom in one go, and at the end of the stone steps, there was a small space of about 30 square meters. The light could not reflect the panoramic view of the space, and as I slowly glanced around, I saw a small door in front of me.
I only saw the outline of this small door, and from the outside, it was different from the door in the gate space of Ta'er Lake and Danmeng Basin, and there was a world of difference.
When I saw the outline of this small door, my eyes seemed to freeze, and my nerves were completely terminated at this moment, and there was only one thought left in my empty mind, a very strong thought.
Behind this little door, there are secrets that I want to know. I don't have any basis to judge whether there is an answer behind the door, but my hunch has never been so strong, as if once the door is opened, then all the riddles will reveal the truth in a matter of seconds.
I was inexplicably excited and stood in a daze for a long time. I've been involved in big events for so long, I've given a lot, and I've even lost the power that a normal person has. Seeing that the answer is about to surface, the excitement in my heart is naturally difficult to subside.
I staggered towards the small door. The light then moved to the small door, and as soon as the footsteps opened, the sound of breathing came from the small door and reached the pinna.
The sound of breathing was like a thunderclap at this time, and it completely woke up my confused brain. As soon as my mind cleared up, my vision suddenly cleared, and I suddenly noticed that on the small door, there was a faint shadow of a person.
It was definitely a figure, as if it was connected to the small door as a whole. Under the light, my eyes couldn't move again.
Every day!
I saw the figure that was connected to the small door, and it was every day.
Immediately, I remembered the promise that Monkey Dajue had made to me at that time, that he would not only save Tiantian, but also let Tiantian live forever until the time when she was supposed to exist. He said that he would put every day in the ancestral land of the Zhangxiong people, a very secret ancestral land.
This holy well is the legendary birthplace of the Zhangxiong people, and it is their unique ancestral land.
The monkey Dajue did not break his promise, and he really put Tian Tian'an here.
Tian Tian was supposed to be alive, and although I didn't come closer, my intuition told me that she was definitely alive. She seemed to be asleep, and her whole person seemed to be held up by an invisible force, clinging to the small door.
I was intent on seeing what was going on behind the door, but the daily appearance disrupted my plans. I couldn't help but walk forward again, until I reached the small door. Standing in this position, I can see very clearly that the Tiantian in front of me is the Tiantian who worked tirelessly and brought me to Dapeng Yincheng from thousands of miles away, and he also risked stealing the water from the holy well for me at the expense of life and death.
I'm not a particularly fragile person, but as soon as I see Tiantian, my eyes start to well-up with tears.
In a person's life, he will meet many people, some of whom pass by in a hurry, and some who accompany him for a lifetime. What everyone gives to themselves is different, deception, sincerity, kindness, malice, whether it is good or bad, each person is unique, what this person gives to himself, no one else can replace.
What is given to me every day is also irreplaceable.
Knowing that she had been rescued and could live forever, my heart seemed to calm down a lot.
I am not a saint, and I will never become a saint, I am just a layman who has lived in the world for more than 20 years.
It took me a long time before I noticed that Tian Tian was very close to this small door, and if I wanted to open it, it might take a lot of effort. I walked over slowly, put aside the oil lamp and flashlight, and took a closer look.
When I observed, my heart suddenly cooled in half.
When I entered the holy well, the monkey did not say anything, not even about the situation in the holy well. But now I have an understanding that there are only two paths in front of me, and that if I want to open this little door, it will inevitably affect every day, and if I want to keep the whole day, I must give up the idea of opening the little door.
No wonder the monkey told me before I came down that even if I entered the holy well, I would not gain anything.
Which of the two paths should I choose?
Since I started to get involved in big events, I don't know how many times I've been faced with a two-choice situation, and each time, I've had a lot of difficulties. But this time, I barely hesitated and took a step back.
I remember that Blind San'er told me a long time ago that I am not a person who does big things. I can't help but admit that I really can't do great things. There are so many things I can't let go, and if I were to open this door regardless of my daily life, then I'd rather never know the mystery behind the small door.
It's actually a dead knot, a dead knot that can't be untied, and no matter what decision I make, I won't give myself peace of mind. So, the best thing to do is not to make a decision and just give up.
I retreated directly to the stone steps, maybe in another twenty or thirty years, Zhangxiong will completely decay, and the entire Dapeng Silver City will be gone, but this holy well has been preserved. It's safe here in the Holy Well every day, and when it's time for her to resuscitate, she'll be resuscitated.
She will regain into a woman who no longer has a trace of male breath, start her new life, and start her new journey.
I returned the same way from the stone steps, and then back to the surface from the holy well. Jedan Dumbard was still waiting outside, and as soon as I came out, he immediately locked the iron door and took me to see the monkey.
The monkey was full of energy, and he couldn't see a trace of tiredness. When I returned, he seemed to have a kind of pride in the future prophet, and the corners of his mouth showed a rare smile.
"Do you believe my advice? Even if you go into the well, you won't get anything. Monkey Dajue shook his head gently: "You can't do big things, you should be an ordinary person." ”
"I really want to be a normal person."
"We may never see each other again in the future."
"Maybe."
The monkey invited me to drink another bowl of wine, and when I had finished it, I withdrew from his dwelling. Monkey Dajue didn't say anything more, maybe from this incident, he already knew that I was not suitable to assist him in his work, and not only could I not help him, but it might make things worse.
I packed my things and prepared to leave Dapeng Silver City. Before leaving, I went to see Bandatchado again. Actually, I really want to stay and see how Banda Chado changes the fortunes of Zhangxiong, but I don't have that much time, I have to go back, back to my world, and there are many things that I need to explain at the end.
Bandacado did not hold me, and when he heard the news that I was leaving, he said that he could arrange for someone to escort me out of the dangerous area outside the border.
I wanted to say something, but when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say anything, and I always felt that there seemed to be an unspeakable barrier between me and Bandacsada.
"You will soon become the real Great Awakening of Zhangxiong, you have a lot to do, take care." I'm ready to go, and since I don't have anything to say, I'll just leave decisively.
Bandatsado nodded, and I slowly turned around and walked out step by step. When I walked out about ten steps, Bandaca stopped me.
"Can I ask you for one thing?"
"What's the matter?"
"I want that dzi on you." Bandatsado looked at me, as if he could see through my clothes the half-moon dzi on my neck: "Whatever you need, I can exchange it with you, gold, turquoise, ivory, you can do it." ”
I took off the half-moon dzi around my neck, I don't want to know the origin of this dzi, although it has been by my side since I was born, but I believe that I am not the real owner of the dzi.
"And then." I raised my hand and tossed the dzi to Bandatsadado, and strode off into the distance.
