The scene outside was not the place where we had fallen at all, and I relied on the memories in my brain two days ago to think about the scene when I fell, and if I remember correctly, around this pit should be the shrine where the demon bones were stored.

But now the shrine is gone. It's not a jungle around, but an endless loess slope, and I don't know where it is.

Because as I climbed up, the Ownerless God Bone cut rows of holes into the wall of the cave, and I could fall down and climb up again. So I looked around and saw what was going on, and then I quickly landed.

When the old patriarch heard me coming down, he hurriedly asked me, "Abu, what's wrong?"

I said, "Oh no, now we can't figure out whether we are in an illusion or in reality, I climbed to the entrance of the cave and looked out, there was nothing outside, the endless loess slopes."

The old patriarch was stupid when he heard it, how could the loess high slope be here? There is no loess slope near the village, but the old patriarch has spied a glimpse of heaven in the deduction, and knows that the position we are in now is not an illusion. But I saw it with my own eyes. How can this be explained?

After thinking about it for a long time, I said: Anyway, let's go out first, and it's a waste of time to stay here.

I couldn't help but say, I carried the old patriarch on my back. He whispered: Patriarch, you hold my shoulders tightly, I will climb up with you on my back, we must get out of here.

It's hard to go up alone, after all, I haven't eaten or drunk for two days, and my physical strength is already a little unbearable. In addition, I climbed up once by myself just now, and the height was not low, and this second time I climbed up with the old patriarch on my back, it was really a game of life.

However, with the support of faith, I carried the old patriarch on my back and climbed to the entrance of the cave in one breath, and then climbed out of the cave. Blowing the old patriarch's gray beard.

I said, "Maybe we're still in an illusion."

But the old patriarch said at this moment: No, we are not in the illusion, Abu, look to the south, is there a mountain in the south?

I took one look and said: Yes, but far away.

The old patriarch said, "Is there a tree on the east side of the mountain?" Desolate West?

I was stunned for a moment, and I was a little stunned on the spot, because the old patriarch was blind, and he couldn't see anything. But what he said was completely true.

The mountain was indeed far away from us, but it was strange, the east side of the mountain was green, and the west side of the mountain was desolate, I could see it with my naked eyes, but how did the old patriarch know?

I said, "Yes, old patriarch, how do you see that?"

The old patriarch didn't speak at this moment, but turned his face to the north, closed his eyes, and about two minutes later, just when I was about to wait, the old patriarch said: Well, that's right, it's here.

Before I could speak, the old patriarch continued: When I was young, I came here with the old patriarch, and when you said that this is a loess slope, I thought of this place, which is actually not far from the village.

"What's going on?" I scratched my head, puzzled.

The old patriarch said: When I was young, the previous patriarch brought me here, saying that he wanted to take out the treasure of the clan, in order to prevent it, but halfway through, the patriarch's eyelids kept jumping, he said that this was a bad omen, and he could not continue to move forward, and then took me back. But at that time, I was still young and physically exhausted, so I sat on this hill and rested for a while, and the feeling of the cool breeze back then was exactly the same as now.

I was a little puzzled and said, "Patriarch, just by the cool breeze blowing on your face, you can know what kind of place this is?" That's amazing.

The old patriarch smiled and said: That's not it, no one will be so powerful, you may not smell it, there is a faint smell of mulberries in the wind, although there are no mulberries now, but the cold wind comes from the north, blowing the mulberry forest, bringing that smell.

I looked to the north, and I went, and there was a dense forest in the distance, but not all of the trees were planted with wild mulberries, but more than 60% of the area was mulberry trees.

People are old and fine, they are really old and fine.

I said, "Since you know where we are, you should know the way back, right?"

The old patriarch said: Of course I know, just follow along.

I explained to the old patriarch where we were, and then the old patriarch relied on the route in his memory, and I commanded me to go forward, all the way towards the two half-mountain levels.

It is said that there is a mysterious power shrouded in the belly of the mountain, and the old patriarch also asked the previous patriarch when he was young, the treasure of the clan is in the belly of the mountain, and now the old patriarch means: go around a little farther, go around to the two half-mountains, dig out the secret treasure, and see if you can subdue the demon bones.

The previous patriarch of that year, under the guidance of the Mandate of Heaven, did not dig up the secret treasure, and by chance, the old patriarch and I appeared in this position, I have to say, this is likely to be the arrangement of fate.

On the way forward, the old patriarch and I ate some wild fruits on the side of the road to satisfy our hunger, and suddenly recovered most of our physical strength, I asked the old patriarch: Since we have not entered the illusion, but the place where we fell is not here, what is going on?

On the way, I actually kept thinking about this question, and I couldn't figure it out, I was actually the same person as my grandmother said before she died, I was just stubborn. I can't figure out the questions I can't understand, and I have to think about them.

The old patriarch also said in a tone of uncertainty that there was only one possibility.

"Which?"

"What we are experiencing is an illusion and it is not an illusion. It can be said that the first half is an illusion and the second half is real, but how exactly the two are converted between the two, I don't know, and I have never encountered it. The old patriarch said.

I was stunned by this conceptual question⌒ Think about it, eh, it does make some sense.

We didn't get hurt when we fell into a deep pit, but it wasn't normal to fall into a hole so high that we didn't get hurt. Secondly, we landed near the shrine in the woods, and the scene inside the cave remained the same, but when I climbed out of the pit, I found that we were on the high slope of loess far from the village.

Self-study and analysis, first of all, this loess slope really exists, and the old patriarch has been here when he was young, so he can't fake it. Then the pit we fell into should be an illusion. But between the illusion and the reality, how did we appear directly in the hollow on the high slope of the loess near the shrine in the woods? Dirt Field.

I shook my head and didn't think about it anymore, I don't want to dwell on this issue, if I continue to dwell on it, I guess I will have a split personality.

As I was walking forward, the old patriarch suddenly said to me, "Abu, I can see that you are a good man."

Suddenly saying something like this to me made me feel weird, I don't know what the old patriarch meant. I scratched my head and said with a smile: The so-called good people in this society are the kind that have been bullied all the time.

Even when I was in school, when I was chasing the girl in our class, she said to me: Liu Mingbu, you are a good person, you can find a better person than me.

At the time, I thought it was quite classic, but now that I think about it, I'll go, it's pure.

Sure enough, just when I felt that the old patriarch seemed to have something to say, he said to me: Although I am blind, my ability to deduce is still there, Abu, are we very close to those two half of the mountain?

I hummed, and then the old patriarch stretched out his arm tremblingly, reached in my direction, groped for my arm, grabbed my wrist, and pressed my palm against his heart.

"Huh?" I was shocked, because the old patriarch's heart was beating very fast, and the frequency of the heartbeat was very high, and it felt like a balloon that could inflate to explode at any moment.

"What's going on?" I asked the old patriarch in horror, because if the human heart was beating like this, then it should basically be 120, but the old patriarch's face did not change and he did not breathe.

He said to me very calmly: Everyone will die, but everyone's way of dying is different, Abu, if you have time, I hope you can help my people more.

My mood was hard to calm down for a long time, and I knew that the old patriarch might have calculated his specific deadline.

"Abu, when you are about a hundred meters away from the two half-mountains, remember to tell me."

"Why?"
