Chapter 132: Polar Checks and Balances
His whole face seemed to be distorted, and after he walked out of the cave, he fell face down to the ground, and the middle-aged man immediately walked over, touched his neck with his fingers, and after saying that it was okay, he looked into the cave again.
There, there is no male duck voice anymore.
No, no, there was one less person among them, why didn't that person show up? Could it be that after killing the duck's throat in the cave, it also disappeared.
It shouldn't be! I thought nervously, but I heard a voice coldly, and the voice didn't say anything, maybe I was too frightened to hear anything.
Because the voice sounded exactly the same as the voice of the male duck who had not come out of the tunnel, and the sound seemed to come from the tunnel.
In that weird laughter, I couldn't help but scream, and I couldn't care so much, so I ran to the back, and when I turned around again, I didn't know where Jiang Yuchen went.
In the world of black holes, I panicked and plunged into one of the stone caves, and then noticed a flashlight shooting behind me, followed by a panicked shout. I'm too busy to take care of myself now, so naturally I don't have time to pay attention to Yin Dao Chang and them.
I ran all the way, I didn't pay attention to the entrance of the cave, and ran forward with my head stuffy, until I felt that everything behind me was thrown off, but I was already physically exhausted, and I leaned weakly against a stone wall.
In the dark, I pulled out a flashlight, and when I shone it around, I saw a strange statue beside me.
The statue seemed to be a person, and on this person's body was a snake coiled, just like the scene I saw on that human skin.
I rubbed my head and stared at the statue, wondering what this would be.
Because I didn't follow any method before, I can't find my location at all now.
Along the statue, I looked elsewhere, and it was basically the same as the caves before.
I pulled out the drawing I had drawn from my backpack, and it didn't seem to show up on it!
I looked at everything thoughtfully, hesitated to go back, and finally looked at the statue.
After thinking about it, I didn't touch it, and turned my head and walked back.
It's okay to be curious about the unknown, but if you want to get involved, you have to think twice, especially if it's like my current situation.
Coming back here again, it was like a fish returning to the sea, I felt like I was walking back, but I looked at those stone caves repeatedly, and called Jiang Yuchen's name again, but I only heard a dead silence.
The sound echoed through the hole, and finally spread into the distance, but it was like a stone thrown into the sea, striking an undercurrent.
Walking into the darkness, responses from all sides were in my ears, but in addition to my own voice, I suddenly found another voice.
The voice seemed to be not far away, and I was overjoyed, and immediately carefully groped for it, but when it was closer, I saw that this person was wearing a mask.
When I saw the mask, I turned around and was about to leave, but I was discovered by the other party, and I saw a black shadow jump up from a distance and quickly chase after me?
I couldn't run at all because of the strenuous exercise before, and it wasn't long before I was grabbed by an arm.
I screamed in my heart that it was not good, but no matter how much I struggled, it seemed to be to no avail, and in the end I could only passively drag backwards.
But because of this, I also woke up from my panic, and I felt that something was wrong, this masked man didn't seem to be a ghost.
As soon as I thought of this, I immediately looked back, and sure enough, the person I saw was the same person who had disappeared in the cave earlier.
I immediately stopped resisting and looked back at the mask, once again identifying him.
"Where did you go before, why didn't you leave without saying a word to us?" After recognizing him, I asked straight to the point.
He let go of his hand, "It was a special situation, and I didn't have time or opportunity to explain it to you, because I had to find a place. ”
"What?!"
"There's something very important in that place," he said, gesturing to his mask, "I don't know how to explain it to you, or ...... Here, I need to find another version of myself. ”
Looking at the mask, I hesitated, wondering if I should tell him what I was seeing.
"You're not talking about Tubo's mask!" I said tentatively, but he reacted so much that he immediately sat up, "How do you know?" ”
"I think I've seen it, it's the same style as the one you carry, and it's trapped in quicksand, if the mechanism ......"
Before he could finish speaking, he stopped him, "I know, hundreds of years ago, my ancestors made such a choice, and it stayed here, waiting for the person who should have appeared. ”
"This person is Li Sansi?"
"No, he's just an inducement to open the stairs of this tomb." He looked at me from behind the mask, "Maybe that person, it's here too!" ”
His words are so familiar, but I'm always avoiding them, and this time it's the same, maybe he means something else.
"I've found other people here, and we're not the only ones coming down now!"
"Of course, if you saw Tubo, you should have met that too!"
"That? I don't understand what? ”
"No, you see it, I can see it in your eyes, it's been released, but it's not you, it's ...... Someone who saw it with you. ”
I was confused by his words, "Wait a minute, tell me first, what exactly is that thing you're talking about?" ”
The masked man didn't rush to answer, but he took out a round saucer from the box behind him, and the flashlight hit it, so that I could look at the surface of the saucer, and I saw that there were two large swirling textures carved on it.
The swirls on the disc balance each other and form a balance-like existence, and in the stripes of the swirls, some small scales are marked.
"What is this?"
He placed his left hand on it, his fingers moving between the two dots, "Fate! Every life is attracted to it, and there are two points in each direction, beginning and ending, but the individuals who live in their destiny are in a thousand forms. ”
Then, he pointed to the point on the left, "If this is the beginning, then the other end is the end, look at these threads, they indicate a certain law of life." This law may be the same, but the essence is different, because they are not coherent. ”
"Fresh life begins with an infinite longing for this world, an observation of world events, until we see clearly what the world we live in is like."
But on the other hand, when life is abandoned, what is the growth of the other self? First the hatred of abandoning oneself in life, then loneliness, then pleading, until they all died completely, without memory, without thinking, without a world of concern. ”
Finally, he handed me the disc, "If you have experienced a lifetime and made you give up everything in this life, are you still yourself?" Or in the end, it's not a baby, it's not a return, it's dead! ”
Receiving what he handed me, I seemed to understand, "You mean, after his death, Tubo's original intention to protect this place will gradually change, until he is awakened again, and he may take revenge on his former self and maintain his life with another personality." ”
"Balance! It makes it difficult to discover another self in a single life, so we can only observe ourselves through certain mediums"
What he was trying to say was very obscure, and it took me a while to understand the general meaning, that is, the person in the mask has undergone a great transformation because of death.
And the masked man understood this, so he went to look for that place in the first place, but we shot him first.
No...... I seemed to be missing something, and he said that the person who released the soul on the mask also saw it with me.
Corresponding to that name, the first one that came to mind was Jiang Yuchen, but I immediately rejected this idea because he didn't need to do it at all.
"Well, anyway, it's already happened, and it's useless to talk about it, we should go to the tomb gate together now!"
"What about the others?"
"Where are they?" As he spoke, the masked man took the disc I handed him back, packed up his things, and led me in the other direction.
His steps are very clear, and his way of distinguishing the direction is also very special, every time he does not know how to go, he closes his eyes, as if in the dark, he can find the direction he should go.
I couldn't help but be curious, so I tried a few times like him, but I found nothing.
Maybe the mask allowed him to see the way forward, I thought so, and I used him as a guiding light and followed it.
Turning left and right with him, we shuttled through the cave, always feeling as if we had walked through here, but we were not sure that we thought so because we remembered it.
Ten minutes later......
Twenty minutes later......
An hour later......
The times also seem to overlap, and I want him to stop for a while, let's rest for a while, maybe it's time to change directions.
But the other party doesn't have any worries about me, as if he is full of confidence in himself, and now this kind of situation is also a necessary process.
At first, I really believed his words, so I continued to walk with him, but the longer I walked, the place seemed to be boundless, and we didn't seem to have changed much, I didn't know that his patience was so good, but I was impatient.
But just as he was about to let him think about it and try something else, he suddenly heard some voices from a nearby cave.
We've been walking here for more than three hours, and we're getting impatient, but when I hear the sound, I'm immediately hooked.
