Do people have a choice? Sometimes there is no choice, just like Cha Wenbin, he is not keen on exploration, if he has a choice, he wants spells and rune paper, incense and a compass.

Pushing aside the pile of rocks, there was a flat relief at the foot of the building, and the thing drawn on it was an evil ghost. The demon had a human head in his hand, two struggling men at his feet, and an arm in his mouth.

Although the relief looks hideous, the skill of this carving is already of the highest quality.

Taoist temple, this is what the old knife told Cha Wenbin, since ancient times, good and evil are not separated, in a Taoist temple, there will be a relief of a demon, this is a supernatural existence. If the old knife is not lying, then this is really not as simple as it seems.

The reliefs are very heavy, which is not uncommon in ancient architecture, and many underground palaces will be pressed with such a piece of things at the entrance, heavy and huge are their symbols, such as the good labor of the mountain, and there is no way to do anything about it.

Fortunately, what smart people will never lack is a solution, no matter how big the problem. The lever principle, which is a simple and effective solution. Chaozi soon found a thick wood in this ruin, it seems that this thing should be a girder on a certain temple back then, after so many years of ups and downs, this beam is still strong, and there is no trace of decay. This is enough to show what kind of power and wealth the people who built this hall back then.

The five of them worked together, and this boulder, which weighed about 1,000 catties, was slowly moved a little bit, and a deep and dark entrance was quietly opened.

Steps, spiraling down steps, just like recorded in historical materials, there is really a hole in this mountain.

Four or five spotlights, next to each other, walking on this step, it is depressing. Looking down, the light was swallowed up by the darkness in a blink of an eye, and I couldn't see it to the end.

It was empty, except for the darkness and the steps under their feet, and the only thing that accompanied people was the "rustling" footsteps.

Before they knew it, these people had been walking for two hours, and every time they looked down, there was darkness in sight. What people are most afraid of is this feeling, a road that never seems to have an end, walking here, collapse will come at any time.

"Where exactly do you want to take us? This kind of ghost place, I don't want to stay for more than a minute. As he spoke, Chaozi at the front was already sitting on the ground, and the steps were already very narrow, and when he stopped, the whole team stopped.

"I don't know." The old knife's answer was simple and crisp, he really didn't know where this was, he was no longer the cold-blooded and strong old knife he was back then, when he crawled out of the coffin under Kunlun, he knew that he was no longer the same person he was back then.

"And what did you bring us here for?"

"I don't know." The answer is still these three words.

Chaozi wants to have a seizure, he has had enough, not only Chaozi, but even Zhuoxiong, who has always been calm, wants to have a seizure. Cha Wenbin hurriedly stopped the two of them, and he tried to calm down the suppressed emotions in everyone's hearts, because even he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Don't you think it's strange? The mountain was not very high, and we had been walking downward, and at this distance, we were already deep underground, but the temperature around us had not changed in any way, and the oxygen content in the air had no effect on our breathing, which reminded me of something. ”

"What's the matter?"

"There is only one place where there is no end to the steps, and that is the road to Hades. It is said that some people, when going downstairs, will suddenly find that they can't finish this staircase, so he keeps going down and keeps going down, and the next day, people find his body at the staircase on the first floor. ”

Cha Wenbin continued: "This is different from ghosts hitting walls, ghosts fighting strong, the final result of people walking is a circle, while we are walking steps, a step leading to the bottomless abyss." The person who goes downstairs will always go down and never look back, because his exit is below. But if you go back and go up, you may not be able to find your way back, so you are trapped on this seemingly simple and simple step, to put it simply, this is one. ”

Death is a word that everyone needs to face but fear.

"So we're stuck here?" Chaozi was a little angry, not because he was afraid of death, but because he didn't want to die.

Cha Wenbin turned around and looked at the old knife, now this face is familiar and unfamiliar, the old knife's gaze did not dodge, the two looked at each other like this.

"Now, can you tell me, why did you bring me here?".

The old knife smiled coldly and said, "With your ability, can you still not see through it?" ”。

Cha Wenbin also smiled coldly: "You are not an old knife, I have calculated, he has long passed away, and on you, I can feel a trace of familiarity, showdown, I don't like to guess like this." ”

"Haha!" , the old knife suddenly laughed wildly, "Cha Wenbin! Do you know where this is? This is the abyss of death, this is Tubo's dojo, without you, I can't open this door, if I can't open this door, I can't go back, I can't go back, none of you want to go back! ”

"Do I have anything to do with this one?".

"Yes, it's so relevant, want to know what happened to that damn old man?".

"Which old man?" Although Cha Wenbin didn't understand what he was talking about, he was sure that he understood that this matter might really be related to him.

"Yes, I almost forgot, you lost that memory. Cha Wenbin, I have to say, your life is so good, do you want to get back that memory? If you want to, go down here and look for him, he's just a descendant of Tubo. ”

Cha Wenbin smiled: "Ghost Emperor Tubo, then who are you?" ”

"Who am I? Haha, if I tell you this waste, if it weren't for you, all history would have been changed, would you believe it? You have no choice, if you don't continue, I will ruin you, and you will be ruined! You can die, but I can't die, and if I die, you will go with me. In this life, you don't even want to understand it, and in the next life, in the next life, you won't understand it either!"

"You give me death!" Chaozi couldn't stand it anymore, I don't know when, he had rushed to the side of the old knife, and pushed it hard at his laughing body, this step was already very narrow, and there was no railing, the old knife's body staggered, and disappeared into the darkness in an instant, but in this empty world, the old knife's laughter was still loud, but the laughter was getting weaker and weaker, farther and farther away, and it really seemed like falling into the bottomless abyss.

"Chaozi, you're crazy, this is murder, you know?". Zhuo Xiong grabbed Chaozi, who was trembling a little, and shouted, this is a living person, and he was pushed down like this.

"It's not a human, but he's not a ghost either, the real old knife is dead, he's not an old knife, it's just that I'm very strange, I can't see through him." Cha Wenbin squatted on the ground, his eyes a little confused.

"So what now, what are we going to do? Turn back, or keep walking? Zhuo Xiong asked.

Looking at the bare walls around here, looking up and down, it was always dark, Cha Wenbin's heart didn't know where the direction was for the first time, and suddenly he stood up and said: "We are brothers, I want to take a dangerous road, I can't take you on an adventure, if you can walk back, continue to walk back, remember to help me take care of my son after going out, but if you find that the upward walk has exceeded the distance back, don't go any further, then I will also wait for you below." ”

After speaking, Cha Wenbin jumped towards the darkness next to him, and before everyone had time to react, he disappeared like this, without even humming, Cha Wenbin left like this.

Is that paragraph Cha Wenbin's will? Leaving the three people stunned and at a loss, Chaozi was the first to react, and he was about to jump, just like when he wanted to follow Cha Wenbin at the top of the waterfall, it was Zhuo Xiong who grabbed him.

"Let go of me, if you're afraid of death, you can go up!"

"Smack!" This is Zhuo Xiong's first move, he gave Chaozi a slap in the face, "What did Brother Wen Bin say, let's find an exit, if we can't find it, he will wait for me below, it's not that I'm afraid of death, it's that I have to listen to him!" ”

People always say that it is easy to go up the mountain, but it is difficult to go down the mountain, but how easy is it to walk up the steps?

Step by step, every step is so unacceptable. They were inexplicably led here, and Cha Wenbin jumped down so inexplicably, if Chaozi didn't push the old knife, would Cha Wenbin leave? However, in this world, there are no ifs!

The existence of the Tao is not confined to the past and the future, it is not confined to life and death, its existence, all the time, its existence, is everywhere in every invisible corner. Whether it's hell or death, Cha Wenbin is ready, and the cycle to the steps of death will never be able to get out, just like everything they encounter now.

People are like this, knowing that it is a dead loop, they will still walk, or they will try, but they don't know that when they return to the original point from the end, they only need to stand outside and take a look, and they will understand.

This is the path that Cha Wenbin took.

He saw something in the eyes of this "old knife", but only he understood what that thing was. So he chose such a path, if he Cha Wenbin really left, would this world really stop.
