I don't know if it was my luck or too bad with the fat man, but after walking nearly fifty steps forward, I saw again the glittering candle that I had lit there on the steps in front of me.

This shows that we have come full circle in this space and returned to the same place, which is not a common sense.

The faint blue glow of the candle told me that there was something wrong with this space, and that what we encountered was not a ghost hitting the wall, but that the strange bronze steps in this space were most likely a mechanism similar to the Absolute Immortal Dao, as the fat man said.

The fat man saw the candle in front of him that had been lit by my own hands, and he couldn't help but be a little depressed, he pointed to the candle and said to me, "See! Fat man, I have already said that this kind of bronze step arrangement is very problematic, it must be the legendary Absolute Immortal Dao mechanism. ”

I glared at the fat man and said, "Shut your crow's mouth!" You don't have a mouth that is in the wind, saying what you say. In my opinion, this bronze staircase is not a peerless path. ”

"Isn't it the Absolute Immortal Dao? So what? The fat man looked curious.

I pointed to the bronze staircase under my feet and said, "I have also heard from my grandfather about the principle of the Absolute Immortal Dao, which is actually a kind of staircase composed of four angles in space, no matter how you go, you will eventually return to the original point, to put it bluntly, it is actually a square Yongdao." And what we encountered was obviously not this kind of Absolute Immortal Dao, but more like a more complex figure-8 whirlwind Dao mechanism. Of course, there is also the possibility that we are really hit by ghosts. ”

After listening to me, the fat man sat on the stone steps and said to himself, "Yes! This first step has not yet begun! I didn't expect our brothers to encounter a ghost hitting the wall, Hades is easy to hide, and the little ghost is difficult, what can I do? ”

I said angrily: "I'm not sure if we really encountered ghosts hitting the wall, at this time, it would be good if there was an old man Wang Yuanshan or Liu Fangliang, after all, they are outsiders, good at feng shui and easy to count Qimen Dunjia and are well-informed, even if we encounter a ghost hitting the wall or a peerless immortal Dao, if they are there, they will definitely be able to ensure that we are fine." ”

At this time, I couldn't help but regret a little, thinking that I should have pulled Liu Fangliang down and walked together, but it was too late to regret it at this time, we are now trapped in this underground space and can't get out, and I don't know what to do when I stop in place for a while.

The fat man said: "Then you mean that our brothers are really trapped by this ghost hitting the wall, and can only sit and eat and wait for death?" ”

I said, "It's not enough to sit and eat and wait for death, and I'm not sure that we must have encountered a ghost hitting the wall, so why don't we two test it, close our eyes, and learn the local method of cracking the Absolute Immortal Dao given to me by my grandfather, without using any reference objects around me, and take a walk around with my own feelings." ”

After discussing it with the fat man, I decided to blindfold and try to crack the Absolute Immortal Dao. I didn't think I could get out there, I just wanted to test my guesses.

At that moment, we blew out the candles, it was pitch black in front of us, we couldn't see our fingers, there was no reference, and we heard the fat man say to me: "Commander Liu, you have to take it easy, we are not walking on a flat avenue but a section of steps, one is not good, it is easy to fall, if you break a bone, it will be troublesome." ”

I said to the fat man: "Your uncle, don't talk nonsense, let's go and have a look first!" ”

As I walked, I held my hand to the wall on the left, and the fat man held on to the wall on the right, and the two of us groped our way forward.

After walking for about half an hour, I re-lit the candle for lighting and observed my surroundings, but I didn't realize that we were still in the middle of this corridor.

When I looked back at the fat man. This guy is hungry and has run out of patience for a long time, and is sitting on the stone steps gasping for breath!

I patted the fat man on the shoulder and comforted: "It's also my expectation that I didn't find the exit this time, it seems that we are really trapped, but it doesn't matter, I believe that as long as we take out the momentum of fighting heaven and earth, fighting wind and snow, and fighting with heaven and earth, we will be able to overcome any difficulties and rush out." ”

The fat man said: "Fat man, I can understand a truth now!" What kind of ghost hits the wall, it's a desperate road at all, and the truth is as simple as that. Commander Liu, don't comfort yourself. Behold! Let's take a break! By the way, when you came down, the green cloth bag that the little brother gave you, I knew that there was food in it, and I tossed it for a long time, and my chest was already hungry for a long time. Hurry up and take it out, our brothers will eat and drink to their heart's content, and then sit and wait for death to get on the road. ”

I smiled bitterly, put down the green cloth bag on my body, and took out a few pieces of beef jerky from it, these beef jerky and a bottle of sorghum wine were given to us by the little brother when we came down to leave.

I picked up the beef jerky, chewed it, but couldn't bite it at all, and said to the fat man, "It's some beef, but it's just ah!" It's too hard. I'm not a brass tooth, it's too hard for me to put in my mouth. ”

The fat man said, "It's okay! Wouldn't it be nice if it was roasted softly? ”

I said, "There's no firewood here, so what do you take to roast?" ”

The fat man stretched out his finger and pointed at me, and then pointed at himself, and said, "Aren't the clothes on our bodies just firewood?" People are going to die, what do you want clothes for? ”

I said to the fat man, "Burn your clothes, burn your own!" Master, I want to be a decent person, I can't do it. ”

The fat man said, "Okay! I'll burn myself first! If that's not enough, you can contribute two more pieces of your clothes. ”

The fat man didn't talk nonsense, he directly took off the stinking undershirt that he had worn for a long time on his upper body, and he couldn't tell whether it was white or black, and then took off his wide green pants, leaving only a big flower pants on his body.

I said to the fat man: "Don't say it, Commissar Wang, your fat body is not useless, at least the size of the clothes you are wearing is twice as big as mine!" Your clothes are worth my two. ”

The fat man took out the lighter from his body, set the two pieces of clothes on fire, he picked up the two pieces of beef jerky and took two thin wires from the green cloth bag on my body, put the two pieces of meat on the wires, and started to barbecue on the fire.

This underground space is already very clammy and cold, and now it is a good thing for me to warm up my body for the time being.

Since the fat man took off his clothes, even his fat physique was shivering from the cold without clothes.

I handed my black coat to the fat man and said, "Put it on!" The temperature in the underground is estimated to be only about 10 degrees above zero, which is very cold. ”

The fat man took my black coat and said, "Where did you buy this coat, it feels awesome to wear on your body!" Do you think I look like a spy chief? ”

I didn't expect it to be at this time, the fat man still does not change his optimistic nature, and I am a cautious, even cautious person, which may have a lot to do with the fact that I was born in the countryside. My personality is the polar opposite of that of a fat person.

Maybe it's the extremes of the two personalities, the two of us complement each other's strengths, so every time there is danger, I always feel a lot more at ease with a fat person by my side.
