I don't know how long it takes, maybe it's a long time, maybe it's a short time, in short, this small river under the mountain is very long, and you can't go to the end no matter how you go.

As I walked, I suddenly stopped, and under the tree, there was a bag of compressed biscuits, and my heart sank violently, and I had consciously or unintentionally found myself back to the original point.

I just wanted to try again, and sure enough, I really spared a big circle and returned to the same place, and the bag of compressed cookies was deliberately left there as a mark.

But what made me even more frightened was that all the scenes seemed to be different along the way, except for the point I marked, all the scenes along the way were not repeated, I changed a point and continued to mark, I can assure you that I did not follow the same path, but I will return to the position I marked before.

This seems a bit like the repetitive space or three-dimensional space in a science fiction novel I read before.

All the places you have been to are different, but eventually you will come back to a point, which is the dividing line, and you have encountered it.

For a moment, my thoughts were very confused, and after a long time, I gradually calmed down, the more this time, the more I couldn't mess up, because I was the only one here, and if I messed up, I would be completely lost here, and no one would save me.

After thinking about it carefully, I confirmed my speculation even more, this place is the same as when I first entered the mountain, and my path will change subtly, and I will change before I know it.

When I was a child, I liked to read books, I also liked to listen to other people's stories, and I also knew some so-called ghosts hitting the wall, and I remember that when I was a child, my neighbor Uncle Zhang told me about a personal experience.

One night, when he was young, Uncle Zhang wanted to go to a neighboring village to do something after drinking, and he had to pass through a section of the road, which was usually less walked, and the road that Uncle Zhang chose to take was also to take a shortcut, but it turned out that the road that could be completed in a few minutes, but Uncle Zhang spent nearly half an hour, or went around in circles.

Uncle Zhang thought to himself at the time, did he encounter the ghost hitting the wall as the old man said? So he stopped, lit a cigarette, and when one was burned, Chambers began to get back on the road, and soon walked out of that road.

In fact, these are some superstitions, the so-called "ghost hitting the wall", that is, when walking at night or in the suburbs, you can't tell the direction, your self-perception is blurred, and you don't know where to go, so you always go in circles. When telling others about such an experience, it is difficult for others to understand, so it is called "ghost hitting the wall", in fact, this is a hazy state of human consciousness, Zhang Bo lit a cigarette, made his thinking clearer, and naturally walked out.

I believe that this is an ancient formation, and that ancient formation is very mysterious, just like the Nine Palaces Bagua Array set up by Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms, which can block 100,000 elite soldiers, maybe the historical description is a bit exaggerated, but it is enough to prove that there was indeed a formation in ancient times.

But what I'm encountering now seems to be a little more profound, with the whole mountain as a array, with trees, strange rocks, and rivers as the eye of a needle, plus the strange things that have happened along the way, such as the ghost hand under the water, the black python like a dragon, it seems that this mausoleum guarded by my ancestors is not simple.

Although I have a clue, how to crack it still stumped me, although I have read a lot of books and heard countless stories, but I have no practical experience.

Just when I hesitated, a gust of wind blew, which instantly made me say that my back was a little cold, and before I could come back to my senses, an extremely strong fishy smell came over, this smell is too familiar to me, it is the giant python!

After I came back to my senses suddenly, I saw a pair of lantern-sized eyes, dark purple pupils with brown lines, subconsciously pulled out a short knife, and before I could make a move, a bloody mouth opened, and the thick fishy smell almost made me nauseate immediately.

It quickly erected its head and then lunged at me with great speed, as if to swallow me in one gulp.

At this time, I dare not hesitate, this is not human at all, I quickly dodged my body, a swallow swung its tail, dodged, I think, at this time my movements should be very handsome, but I don't have time to reminisce about these, I scolded in my heart, beast, how can I stare at the master, and chased here.

When I kept dodging, the soles of my feet were cold, and the stones by the river were stepped into the water, and the cold river water made the soles of my feet numb in an instant.

At this time, the ghost hand actually appeared again, and in an instant, this time I saw clearly, it was not the hand of a water ghost, nor was it a white bone claw, but an animal's palm, some like a human hand, covered with barbs, between the lightning and flint, I didn't have the time to study it in detail.

Just as the python rushed towards me again, the ghost hand also exerted its strength again, this time many times stronger than the last time, and immediately dragged me into the river.

For a moment, I felt my whole body numb, and my internal organs seemed to be frozen in an instant, and I struggled hard to get my body moving, but the more I struggled, the more I felt the stiffness of my body, as if my whole body was frozen.

At this time, I don't care about that python, I think I will freeze to death in this river in less than two minutes, no, maybe one minute is enough.

Besides, there is a strange hand holding me at the bare feet, the strength is very huge, under the cold water, I tried to open a trace of eyes, probably saw the outline of this strange guy, how to say, like a fish, and like a human limbs, it seems that there is a fish tail, I instantly thought of three words, mermaid, phew, this thing can not be a mermaid, at most it is a personal mermaid, could it be a legendary mermaid or a mermaid, this thing I have only seen in books.

At this time, my thoughts are very confused, and I am in the mood to think about these, but these thoughts only come out in a moment, but I feel that time passes very slowly, in short, my body has begun to become stiff, and my brain is a little blurry, is this going to die?

Gradually, I wasn't cold, I wasn't trying to struggle, I just felt sleepy, sleepy, and I just wanted my brain to stop thinking and sleep peacefully.

I don't know how long it took, maybe it was very short, I seemed to feel a wave of heat all over my body, it seemed to be water, how could it be water, the water here was cold to the bone, how could it be hot, gradually, I found that my body seemed to have a little sense.

It's really water, and... Be... It's hot, like a hot spring, and the upper layer of this river is bone-chilling ice water, and the bottom layer is actually lukewarm, which completely breaks my common sense.

However, I still did not have the strength to move, and the feeling of suffocation was getting heavier and heavier, and it seemed that all this happened very briefly, and soon I felt water rushing in my nasal cavity, which was very uncomfortable.

Surrounded by warmth, the body began to recover, but it was still weak, but it made me want to rest more, subconsciously, I gradually relaxed my body, and the corners of my mouth began to open a little, at this time, I really wanted to be relieved.

"Tick, tick"

I don't know how long it took, but I slowly opened my eyes, just a little, and subconsciously felt that it seemed to be very humid, like a cave.

However, at this time, I was still very tired, like someone who had just been seriously ill, I closed my eyes again, fell into a deep sleep again, and I don't know how long later, I gradually opened my eyes.

Feeling that there was nothing around, I began to move my limbs slowly, and after a while, I slowly sat up, it was very dark here, I touched the small flashlight in my pocket, this is a spare flashlight, although it is very small but very bright, fortunately, it has not been lost, and the waterproof effect is also good, it can still be used.

Turn on the lights, look around, to be exact, it looks like a hole in the ground, there is a river behind it, to be precise, it is an underground dark river, it should be underground, and the cave is a dark natural tunnel, why is it natural, because there is no trace of artificial digging here.

I suddenly felt that something was wrong, it was the ghost hand on my bare feet, something that looked like the legendary shark man, and the giant python.

Gradually, I fell into deep thought, and began to remember, how long I slept here, who brought me here, and who brought me here, and who washed me down? Or the merman?

I vaguely remember that when I fell into a coma, I vaguely felt a pulling force on my bare feet, but why did it bring me here?

Shaking my head, I didn't think about it, I felt that I was still very tired all over my body, my chest was very stuffy, where the flashlight shone around, and I found that my backpack was long gone, and the things that were still on my body were only the black gold short knife behind my waist, and this small flashlight, and a lighter, which was waterproof and could still be used, as for the half pack of cigarettes, it was already soaked and couldn't smoke.

In addition, I have no supplies, at this time, I am completely in a predicament, here, there are no materials, not to mention other unknown dangers, that is, I may not be able to live alone.

After a long while, I found that my limbs could be moved simply, so I slowly stood up, continued to move my limbs, took deep breaths, let my body begin to recover, and slowly, I also had a feeling in my stomach, but this feeling is not necessarily a good thing, that is, I am hungry.

After looking around, I turned my gaze to this underground river, and perhaps, it could be relied on.
