Chapter 16: Bottomless Dragon Pool
For a long time, people's impression of the flame was that it was pulsating and passionate, and it burned as if it was being burned in despair and blooming to the fullest, and this final dinner party representing death was born. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
A grand and irretrievable dance of death.
At this moment, I was standing under the gate of the huge, seemingly bandit-like gate of the old bandits. In the thick darkness, the four slow-beating pale blue flames completely subverted my perception of flames.
Quiet flames.
Quietly like a sleeping flame.
The two flames that were slightly higher suddenly burst into a burst of dazzling white light, and I was shocked to the eyes, and after a little thought, I knew that this was where the two white-faced dolls were. The fire was rising high, but it wasn't over yet.
The two white-faced puppets tumbled out of the wall and fell down the slope. I rubbed my eyes and felt incredulous at what I was seeing.
The burning light looks like walking!
Just as the firelight flipped over, the firelight of the black puppet's position also turned white, bursting out of dazzling white light, and the black puppet clearly broke through the wall and walked straight to the slope with the fire!
In the hollow and dark underground of Dazhai, the puppets originally buried in the wall are leisurely strolling in the firelight at this moment.
I stared blankly at the walking puppet.
The puppets jumped down the hill one by one.
I looked at the tumbling firelight, and the shock in my heart was indescribable.
Ma Chengcheng shouted.
To be honest, I have almost never seen her so out of shape with Ma Chengcheng for so many years, she has always been a teenager and an old man who can't be beaten, and it is hard for me to imagine that this state of screaming because of emotions will happen to her.
Ma Chengcheng shouted yes, gravity.
She grabbed my arm with an excited face.
I looked confused, "Gravity? ”
The tumbling light of the fire suddenly disappeared, and Ma Chengcheng was about to explain her discovery to me, and I was about to step back from the edge, just then-
A burst of white light burst out from the bottom!
Because I was standing on the edge, I saw what was happening.
I saw the sparkling and swaying water reflected in the fire at the bottom, and it turned out that there was a lake at the bottom. It's just that knowing that this is a lake doesn't shock me as much as the fire that broke out, because the source of the burning is precisely - water.
Burning water!
The water burned in a vein, and the shape of the burning was messy and irregular, and when the white light gradually faded, I realized that it was not a meaningless shape. The figure was-
Dragon!
I looked at the huge black pool, in which the fiery dragon came to life, like a crack deep into the bottom of the pool, splitting the entire surface of the lake alive.
I froze.
When I came back to my senses, the firelight had disappeared, and I couldn't calm down for a long time as I looked at the black pool that had returned to darkness.
The dragon has a special status in China, this is the closest creature of our nation to the public totem, and the bottom of this pond not only violates the natural phenomenon, there is water that can burn, and even the shape of the burning is also the appearance of a dragon...... I suddenly remembered what Ma Chengcheng said to me not long ago, she said that there are some things that we can't deal with.
It is said that those who know the times are handsome, and now I also want to know the times and retreat from this ghost gate that is obviously very abnormal.
But I couldn't get out.
What can I do when the only path that can move forward and foreshadow survival is surrounded by iron thorns that will kill me? I'm not a natural explorer, nor am I a future child who got some mastery by chance, I'm an ordinary high school student, and just an ordinary high school student. My life is to study and classmates, and the biggest difficulty I should face is the college entrance examination, but ...... But now I am in this strange place, facing the ghost gate, I have seen red and green mud ghosts, observed black and white impermanence, and the flame dragon shape of the bottomless deep pool.
I don't want to die.
I'm still young.
I haven't been in a relationship yet.
I really...... Unwilling.
I don't know how long it will be, the puppet head burning behind it has burned out, and the whole space is only Ma Chengcheng's mobile phone lamp.
Ma Chengcheng seemed to notice my slump, and she patted me on the shoulder, "Don't think too much. ”
I am very conflicted in my heart, there are two choices at present: first, enter the ghost gate and find that slim life; Two, stay here and wait for rescue. I believe that the long-term disappearance will definitely attract the attention of adults, and someone will definitely come to search and rescue at that time. As time passed, I looked back at the head of the ringed beast that had been rejuvenated in the dim light, and my confidence to move on was gradually eroded.
My thoughts are starting to lean towards the latter.
I decided to wait for rescue.
Ma Chengcheng turned around and walked towards the ghost gate, and found that I didn't follow, she stopped and hesitated, "Why don't you go?" ”
Even though I knew I couldn't see anything in the darkness, I shook my head, "I'm going to wait here for rescue, I'm not leaving." ”
Ma Cheng took a look at the road in front of my feet, and then looked at the three big characters on the wall, she exhaled softly, "Ma Chenlong, I want to go forward not only because this is the only way out, but more importantly, because I am curious. ”
I remembered that Ma Chengcheng had a particularly strong curiosity since he was a child, and the foolish things he did because of curiosity, I couldn't help but raise the corners of my mouth, "I know." ”
Ma Chengcheng spoke again, "Don't you want to go and see what's in front of you?" ”
"Yes." I replied to her sincerely, "But I'm afraid of death, aren't you afraid?" ”
Ma Chengcheng chuckled softly, "I'm afraid of death, but you have to know ......" Her tone became very gentle, and it seemed full of memories, "I used to read a book* that told a story about the old monk in the temple who asked the child he had raised single-handedly, and he asked, 'Do you know what the mountain is for?' Now, I also ask you, Ma Chenlong, do you know what mountaineering is for? ”
I looked at the trance phone light, shook my head, realized that she couldn't see, and then said again: "Stand tall and see far." ”
Ma Chengcheng walked over, "It's not the location that determines a person's vision. She shook her phone and glanced around, "It's a heart." ”
"Even though it's dark now, this is still a huge temple in my heart. The vision of the eyes is too limited, and the perspective determines the vision physiologically, but—" Ma Chengcheng clenched his fist and nodded at his chest, "We still have a heart. It's not that we have the world in mind, at least we don't want to set a limit on the vision in our hearts, just like my initial question, do you know why people climb mountains? ”
I was silent.
Ma Chengcheng held out his hand to me, "The child's original words in the story are also my thoughts, and his answer is, 'Because the mountain is right in front of me, and I want to see it.'" ’”
I listened to this sentence and fell into deep thought. Many times, we always give a variety of meanings to something we do, and we always ask others about their motivations, but is it true that everything has to be meaningful before counting?
Ma Chengcheng continued to speak, "Why do you want to enter the ghost gate, because it is in front of me, there may be all kinds of dangers inside, and even if you are not careful, you may lose your life, but you see, since you have encountered it, then it doesn't hurt to take a look, I am not a stubborn person, if I really encounter danger to my life, of course I choose to retreat, but on the premise of not threatening my life, I want to go and see." ”
Actually, I want to check it out too.
"This child comes to Dazhai every day and doesn't see an accident, we have a sudden incident this time, no one can tell how long it will be found again, forward or waiting, this is unknown. It is to take the initiative to find a way out and take your life into your own hands; Or wait for rescue, put your life in the hands of others. ”
Ma Chengcheng chuckled, "You choose." ”
In many cases, the choice is the hardest, and my originally firm heart began to waver. There are always many unknown things in a person's life. I remember learning a poem when I was a child, and I remember two of the lines very clearly, 'Don't be afraid of broken bones, you have to leave your innocence in the world.'" At that time, the teacher said another sentence to us, and it was rare to be confused. The principle of doing things that I have always pursued is also rare and confused, although Ma Chengcheng is my own sister, but our personalities are completely different, she is a person who loves to get to the bottom of things, many people will think that although Ma Chengcheng loved to break the casserole when he was a child, he also turned a blind eye to everything when he grew up. But only I know that in fact, Ma Chengcheng has not changed, but when she was a child, she asked others, and when she grew up, she asked herself, looking for information and reading documentaries, and she did much more than us.
Why don't you go out and play, why don't you play games, why don't you catch up on dramas, Ma Chengcheng told me with a smile because she likes what she is doing. Although she likes ancient texts, documentary and obscure scientific terms, she enjoys it.
Why Mountaineering?
Because the mountain is right in sight.
Why Mountaineering?
Because I want to check it out.
My heart was moved.
Ma Chengcheng's hand was still open in front of me.
I exhaled softly, reached out and shook it.
Ma Chengcheng's hand is not big, slender and delicate, very beautiful girl's hand, but at this moment it makes me feel very powerful. I remembered what I thought when I was a child, so I said it again, "I said it, I'll mess with you in the future, Ma Chengcheng, don't let me down." ”
Ma Chengcheng clenched my hand, "Come on." ”
I laughed, "Come on!" ”
The underground space of Dazhai is still the same darkness, but the heavy depression in my heart has been swept away. The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, so I will treat this as a simple sightseeing, not to mention, Ma Chengcheng is also by my side.
After putting down my thoughts, I looked at the ghost gate that seemed to be the gate of the village, and the mood was different, and the eyes were naturally different, and at this moment I felt that the shining beast head door was extraordinarily bright. When I walked to the Ghost Gate, I looked at the three big characters of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing a little distracted, thinking about the cowardice when I thought I was dead and came to the Ghost Gate Pass, I couldn't help but laugh a few times, and my tone was much lighter, "Ma Chengcheng, what should I do next?" ”
Ma Chengcheng used his mobile phone to shine on the door buckle of the beast's head, "Although a lot of messy things happened just now, our purpose is to enter the customs." ”
The door buckle of the beast's head changed from a gray face to a solemn and solemn face in the light.
"Then ...... now," Ma Chengcheng's tone rose slightly.
"Let's knock on the door."
