When he was in the town, the three helpers of the commissary owner used some water of unknown origin to deal with the puppet, and the puppet avoided it in time. It didn't hurt much. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that thing is the same as what the Chen family has in their hands.

Mr. Lu confirmed my thoughts: "It should be an imitation of something." The three people in the town may have stolen some way from Matsucheng. It's just that I didn't learn well. ”

As we spoke, the Chen family was already waving to us, let's go over.

The three of us sneakily followed. Chen Wen pointed to the cave and said, "Let's go in." ”

Xue Qian smiled and said, "You guys invite first." ”

Actually, I understand Xue Qian's thoughts. It is rumored that whoever enters this cave will die. If the Chen family can help us explore the way, it would be the best.

Chen Wen smiled at Xue Qian and said, "Now that the time has come, what else do we have to be afraid of?" "Estimate the number of the acre hall.

Then he walked in with the people.

When it started. There was outside light coming in. We can still see the way. But after a few turns, the cave was very dark.

The Chen family had already prepared, and took out something that looked like a candle or an oil lamp. I light it in my hand.

After we walked a few steps, the Chen family stopped. I leaned forward. I found that there were several bright red characters engraved on the wall over there: "Die further, take a step back and live." ”

I asked, "Who wrote these words?" ”

Chen Wen shook his head and said, "It is said that this line of characters has been here for a long time. Maybe it was carved by the old fairy. ”

He looked at his feet and said, "It has been passed down from generation to generation, if you cross this line, you will surely die." However, since "the time has come", we should be fine when we walk in. ”

Chen Wen muttered, took two steps forward tentatively, and then smiled at us and said, "It's really safe." ”

With Chen Wen taking the lead, everyone walked in with peace of mind.

From time to time, a thick fog erupts from inside the cave. I whispered, "This fog isn't poisonous, is it?" Were people in the past poisoned by this thing? ”

My voice echoed in the cave and sounded weird.

Mr. Lu sniffed and said, "Probably not." Aren't those big men standing at the entrance of the cave just now also very energetic? ”

I nodded, "The time has come." The time has come. We should be able to get in safely. ”

We walked a few hundred more steps inside. I found that the front suddenly became very empty, like an underground square.

In this square, there is a statue. A person with a fairy wind and bones, standing with his head held high. Although the statue is carved out of stone, it looks like it has an ethereal feel.

The Chen family immediately knelt down and cried and said that this was the immortal they had worshiped for many years.

Mr. Lu frowned and said, "Where is this place like the Immortal Cave Mansion?" ”

The Chen family bowed twice in front of the statue and studied it again. Nothing was found. So he took us and walked on.

Along the way, we met a lot of statues. The owner of the statue is all this old immortal. Sometimes he's a Taoist, and sometimes, he's a monk. Sometimes it's a man, sometimes it's a woman. People are getting more and more puzzled. Later, the Chen family stopped worshipping, and probably felt that this old immortal was a little problematic.

I asked Mr. Lui, "What do these statues mean?" ”

Mr. Lu shook his head: "I can't figure it out either." Maybe it's the same as the second sister we saw on the island. ”

When she was on the island, the second sister went from life to death in just a few minutes. And her appearance is constantly changing. It means to encompass all beings by virtue of one's own strength.

By comparison, the woman of Anle Temple and this old immortal do have a lot of similarities. But I also have a vague feeling that, in some ways, there is a big difference.

At this time, Xue Qian said: "Why do I think that this old immortal doesn't seem to want to include all living beings? These statues are all himself. He seems to be constantly changing identities. ”

I muttered Xue Qian's words: "Change your identity, change your identity......"

Suddenly, I understood, "I'm afraid this is reincarnation." The old immortal has put his identity in each of his lives here. ”

In the beginning, we still respected the old immortals. Later, we started making jokes about him. Every time we see a statue, we have to guess his identity in this life, and then giggle and help him make up a life story.

I don't know how long I walked, everyone was hungry. So sit down and eat dry food.

Halfway through eating, Xue Qian suddenly slapped her thigh: "Something is wrong." ”

This startled me, and I quickly asked, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

Xue Qian said, "We have to leave for at least a few hours, right?" Why hasn't it come to an end yet? How big is this cave? With such a big cave, shouldn't the mountain have collapsed long ago? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone nodded yes. Think this place is a bit evil.

"The cave here may be very small. And a few of us, most likely, have been going around in circles, and these statues are just a trick. ”

Chen Wen said: "Isn't it 'time to come'? How can there be a trick? ”

Mr. Lu smiled bitterly: "How do I know? ”

After a short rest, we moved on. We saw those statues on the way, and we didn't bother to study them.

I asked Mr. Lu, "Can you see through the tricks here and take us out?" ”

Mr. Lu shook his head: "I'm still not sure, whether what we saw is true or a trick." Since the people here are revered as immortals. Regardless of whether he is a true immortal or a fake immortal, at least he is a master of the Dao. ”

Xue Qian asked, "We're not going to die here, are we?" ”

Mr. Lu patted his chest and said, "I am here to ensure your safety." ”

Xue Qian and I don't know where his confidence comes from. But at this point, we still choose to believe in him and ask for peace of mind.

When we rested for the second time, Xue Qian let out a long sigh and said to the Chen family, "I finally know how your clan died. It is estimated that I have not been able to go out, and I will starve to death. ”

Chen Wen smiled bitterly twice and said, "Mr. Xue, don't make fun of us. ”

Later, the oil lamps in the hands of the Chen family were completely exhausted. We took out our candles to light them and walked forward worriedly. On the way, we wondered if we should turn back. But Mr. Lu told us very sensibly: "It's useless to go back, since the old fairy trapped us with a blindfold, there must be no turning back." ”

A few minutes later, Xue Qian suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute." ”

I was startled and quickly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xue Qian said: "Look at the statue. ”

The road was so dizzying that I had long since stopped paying attention to the statue. At this time, when I heard Xue Qian say this, I turned my head and took a closer look.

I saw the old fairy kneeling on a futon, his mouth slightly open, as if intending to put his fingers in. And in front of him, there was a jar. This jar is exactly the same as a cornucopia in terms of shape, size, and style.

We walked around the statue for a while, and we all felt that we had reached a critical place.

Mr. Lu pointed to the front and said, "Let's keep walking." ”

Originally, we were so tired that our legs were weak, but since we saw this statue, we have come to our senses again.

Next, we saw a second one. A third similar statue.

The statues were carved in order. The old fairy bit his finger and then put his hand into the cornucopia to feed the blood.

Xue Qian couldn't help but say, "Do immortals also have to rely on cornucopia?" ”

I said, "The carving here may also be something before he became an immortal." ”

Ten minutes later, I noticed that a futon had appeared in front of me. Naturally, the futon is carved out of stone. But there is no shadow of the old fairy on it. There was only one futon around, and people couldn't help but want to put something on it.

Xue Qian suddenly said, "Lao Zhao, are you trying it on the futon?" Why do I always think that this futon is for you? ”
