"Yes." Jiu Ye said, nodded, and said to me that the pattern on the ground was flattened, you can't find it here, it's normal, just like I drew just now, maybe, the satellite can only see the surface of the space, where we are is parallel to another space, otherwise, how can there be such a cave?

The ninth master said, smiling secretly, his words reminded me of the words of Captain Jin, so I looked, this place is somewhat similar to the legendary "space-time rift left at the beginning of chaos", whether this is true or not, I think it is amazing, his statement can explain my doubts very well, in a trance, the time-space theory of Cute Instein also has some similarities, I touched my chin and thought about it, and asked the ninth master: "This truth was figured out by yourself?" ”

"It's not." When the ninth master heard this, he smiled honestly, and then said to me with a smile: "Before, there was an old professor who studied physics asked me to do him a favor, and when we had dinner together, he told me that he had spent most of his life trying to prove his theory, but others regarded him as a psychopath. ”

"Maybe he's right." After thinking about it, I said, "Who knows, this is just a possibility, no one can tell where we are now, but, listening to the old brother who drove the car, this place is more like 'the gap between the cycle of life and death', to put it bluntly, it is an area from the yang world to the underworld." The ninth master said, smiling bitterly, I saw that he was smiling miserably and was a little curious, I pulled him and asked in a low voice: "Ninth master, do you have something on your mind?" ”

"Yes." Nodding, he looked at the crackling bonfire and looked bitter, "I went to the hospital for a check-up, lung cancer, advanced stage, at most, less than half a year to live." ”

As soon as the words came out, I was immediately scared half to death, I glared at him, with a shocked face, and when the ninth master saw this, he made a silent gesture and whispered: "Don't tell me about this matter, especially not to tell the ghost servant, I'll tell you the truth, this time, I know that the difficulties are coming, but I don't want to worry about you after I die." Tielou, it's my responsibility, after I die, this burden may have to be borne by ghosts, I know you have a good heart, when I die, you can accompany her more when you have time. ”

"Pull it down." Seeing that he said miserably, I waved my hand one after another: "You don't come here, I don't play this game with you, you take care of your own daughter, besides, aren't you a Taoist priest of Maoshan Mountain, how can you die so easily?" ”

"I'm short on my life. Short life. It's not easy to survive until now. The Ninth Master said, his face showed an old state, and he immediately shook his head with a wry smile, "Over the years, I have always taken it as my responsibility to eliminate demons, and I think I have done a lot of good things, if it weren't for this, my old life would have been gone." Now, the underworld wants to take me back, and I have no choice but to hope that I will not leave regrets for myself in my lifetime. I'm just a ghost, this daughter, she is in a special situation and can't go out, pointing to her for Mr. Mao's life can't save the iron building, I can only gamble once. ”

"And after that? If you die, what will happen to the ghosts? I frowned, I said.

"It's up to you to take care of it." The ninth master said, looking very sincere, I heard it and immediately had a big head, and then I thought about it, and suddenly asked: "That beaver, isn't it possible to prolong life and come back to life?" Why don't we give it a try? ”

"There's only one beaver, it's been hundreds of years, who has ever caught it!? Besides, what if you live a few more years? Not like that! I don't want to be coerced by Mr. Mao anymore, so help me, you can say anything, you must catch the beaver. The ninth master said, looking extremely anxious, and before I could say anything, the old man covered his mouth and coughed twice, he covered it very tightly, but all that flowed out between his fingers was blood

"Oops" frowned together, I think it would be better to take him back for treatment, but the ninth master is very stubborn, no matter what I say, he won't listen to me, Xiaopang sat on the side, and kept listening to our whispered conversation, he was surprisingly silent, until the end he sighed and said to me: "Boss Lu, you listen to the ninth master once, the ninth master naturally has his reason for doing this, if he can keep the iron tower for the Maoshan patriarch, to the underworld, it is also a merit." ”

"Chubby is right." When the ninth master heard this, he looked at me with an earnest face, and that expression made me a little unbearable, I waved my hand, noncommittal. Come to think of it, the ninth master's condition is very serious, but he won't die for a while after listening to his meaning, he won't listen to what I say now, it's better to catch the beaver and leave here quickly.

Thinking of this, I ate something and began to discuss the next step with Chubby, and this time, the three of us had the same idea, that is, to take a look in the depths of the jungle first. The woman named Ding Ling had reservations about our approach, she felt that it was better to find out the situation, I saw that she couldn't die for a while, and waved her hand to drive her away again, but the girl was so thick-skinned that she didn't say anything about leaving.

"I've got a crush on you." Packing up my things and getting ready to hit the road, Chubby said to me in a nutshell.

"Don't talk nonsense." Kick him, I said.

Three people in front, Ding Ling pitifully followed behind, four people went into the dense forest on one side and searched aimlessly, as they said, there is a path in this dense forest, and the path is regular, smooth, and it looks like someone has carefully repaired it, if it weren't for the fact that the surrounding environment is always a little weird, I think this place is very similar to the tree-lined path in the park.

"There are so many forks in the road." Looking at the dense forest around him, Chubby said.

"yes, why are there so many forks in the road" I also felt strange looking at those forks in the road, we walked along those paths for a long time, and I felt like we were going around in circles all the time, unscrewing the handle of the lifesaver used for survival in the wild, and looking at the direction of the compass, I suddenly noticed that the angle at which we traveled was unusually similar. Walking in a fixed direction, how can it still be like going around in circles? Is it a delusion? Thinking of this, we walked down the path again, and walked for most of the day, only to see some pheasants and hares flying out of the grass and trees from time to time, and as for the beaver, I never saw it

"Wait a minute." was in a hurry, the woman named Ding Ling suddenly ran over and said to the ninth master: "Jin Jiuye, don't you think there is something strange here?"
