Chapter 17: The Truth
Under the silver-white moonlight, the sparkling river water was running loudly, hitting the stones in the river from time to time, stirring up bursts of waves, and there were two people lying faintly on the riverside, because of the high terrain here, the river was not very deep, Feng Sandao carefully went down to the river.
"Ah......" Feng Sandao sat on the ground frightened by the scene in front of him, and it was no one else in front of him at this moment, it was him and the knife handle! Exactly the same face, exactly the same dress. How so? Feng Sandao had a huge tremor in his heart, and even the existence of fear, he couldn't calm down for a long time. What the hell is going on? Feng Sandao asked himself over and over again in his heart, touching his cold corpse in front of him, he suddenly had an ominous premonition.
Feng Sandao's hunger was gone at this time, replaced by a strong feeling of nausea, wanting to vomit but unable to vomit. He sat by the river for a long time, and then he thought of running away, and departed, for he had already understood something in his heart, and was now afraid of everything.
The tumultuous river was still singing happily, as if laughing at the confused person in front of him, and finally he decided to go back, Feng Sandao took a deep breath, and returned to the place where they lived with brisk steps, trying not to make himself look abnormal, but these were actually for himself, because the knife handle and Yuan Lao Er were already asleep.
Looking at the two real brothers in front of him, Feng Sandao slapped himself twice, making sure that he was not in a dream. Then he turned around and walked into the cave, the cave at night was cold, and he couldn't see his five fingers when he stretched out his hand in the dark, but at this moment, Feng Sandao had an inexplicable momentum, eliminating fear, eliminating doubts, he wanted to find the truth!
With the memory of coming here during the day, Feng Sandao touched the rock wall and walked all the way in. This time he didn't feel like he had walked long, he was already around the corner, and strangely he didn't see the strange sight they had seen last time, it was still pitch black, and there were gusts of wind blowing on his face from time to time. Feng Sandao shuddered, and finally came to his senses, he came here on impulse, but it was completely impossible for him to find the truth by touching the dark, unless he was an immortal. Just as he turned around and touched the rock wall to prepare to return, he suddenly stepped on something and slipped and fell to the ground. Feng Sandao unconsciously screamed loudly, something strange happened, the originally dark cave, at this moment, there was a little fluorescence, and then just like a response, the cave was quickly filled with colored fluorescence, and the vision suddenly brightened. Feng Sandao couldn't help but say out loud in surprise, I see!
With this brilliance, Feng Sandao carefully searched the cave, and then he went down to the river, and the stones at the bottom of the river shone brightly and looked very beautiful. Feng Sandao picked up a stone on the river beach and held it in his hand, his first feeling was that the stone was alive! But careful observation did not find anything abnormal, Feng Sandao carefully put the stone back on the river beach, and suddenly saw several large stones not far in front of him exposed the water, Feng Sandao stepped on them to cross the river, standing here looking at the corner where he came in, faintly felt that it seemed to be something, when he raised his head, he suddenly realized that the flickering stones on the top of the cave could faintly be connected into a long dragon, and that cave entrance seemed to be the location of the dragon ball of the flying dragon playing with the pearl. It's just that it shouldn't be empty, and if there really is a bead there, could it be that someone dug up this hole? But Feng Sandao then stopped thinking about these questions, because the scene by the river lingered in his heart like a brand, if things were really as he thought, what should he do? Thinking of this, Feng Sandao took a deep breath again, and then began to walk along the river beach, along the way he noticed that the stones in Hanoi were moving slowly, this discovery surprised him, it seems that these stones are really alive, no wonder it was pitch black when he first came in, maybe these stones were originally used for lighting people, as long as they were awakened, they would glow.
After he had walked for about a quarter of an hour, a stone wall blocked his way. Feng Sandao stepped forward and touched the cold stone wall, feeling disheartened, this place is so big, Yuan Lao Er's random place is probably enough for him to find it for a day. Just when he lowered his head, he suddenly noticed that there were some footprints on the ground, Feng Sandao tried to step on it, although it was not suitable but it was almost the same, Feng Sandao intuitively stepped on these steps, he clearly counted that he had taken a total of nine steps, and then when he went to touch the stone wall again, he suddenly pushed open a door.
The whole person also fell inward all of a sudden because of the loss of the center of gravity, Feng Sandao sighed at the exquisite design and scolded his mother in his heart, he was a little surprised that he came here by a ghost. Behind the door was a room, still pitch black, Feng Sandao coughed loudly, and suddenly the whole room lit up, it seems that the lighting here is like the kind of "living light stone" outside. It was a small and small room, surrounded by a rock wall that glowed with white light, smooth like a mirror.
On one of the walls of the room was a stone platform, on which lay the purple-red bronze mirror. Feng Sandao walked to the stone platform and grabbed the bronze mirror, and then took a picture of himself, in addition to himself, there was also the face of Yuan Lao Er in the mirror! Feng Sandao was startled, and hurriedly turned around, only to see Yuan Lao Er standing behind him at the moment.
Why are you here? Feng Sandao's face sank and asked. Unexpectedly, Yuan Lao Er asked rhetorically, why is the eldest brother here? Feng Sandao turned around and snorted coldly and said, what the hell are you? Yuan Lao Er laughed and said, I am your sworn brother Yuan Jiaquan! Didn't Big Brother Mo even forget this? Feng Sandao said in a deep voice, since this is the case, then you tell me who I am? Yuan Lao Er paused and said, you are my eldest brother! Why do you ask such strange words? Isn't it that the eldest brother wants this mirror? Yuan Lao Er pointed to the bronze mirror in his hand and said, since this is the case, then I will give it to the eldest brother, the eldest brother likes it, and he should tell his brother! Feng Sandao threw the bronze mirror on the stone platform at this time and said, Alas, I just ...... I just saw my corpse in the river! You said...... What the hell is going on? After hearing these words, Yuan Laoer's face changed greatly, and he was uncertain. Feng Sandao also noticed it afterwards, second brother, do you know? Tell me what's going on?
Big brother should have guessed it! Yuan Lao Er sobbed sadly as he spoke, don't you need me to say it? When Feng Sandao saw him like this, he was even more sure that he knew the truth, and said emotionally, brother, but it doesn't matter, eldest brother just wants to understand what's going on? Yuan Lao Er said while sobbing, at first the third child fainted after drinking the water in the river, the eldest brother also felt unwell because of washing his face with water, I was anxious to go down to find an antidote, in fact, I couldn't find anything at all, what a cycle of cause and effect, I comforted you and comforted myself, when I came back, you ...... You're dying...... Yuan Lao Er couldn't cry when he said this, Feng Sandao couldn't help but cry when he heard that he was about to die, but immediately pulled Yuan Lao Er and asked, what about later?
Later, I thought, it's all my fault, if I didn't have to come to this ghost place, you wouldn't have died, and I wanted to commit suicide by throwing myself into that deadly water, go down to accompany you, and we will continue to be brothers. But I suddenly had a plan, since that mirror can "give birth" to other living creatures, I wonder what will happen when I put it together with people? I put you and the bronze mirror together with the mentality of giving it a try, and then I covered your clothes, and I ran to the distance to find some living water sprinkled on you, and then waited intently, for some reason I suddenly fell asleep, and when I woke up, I immediately ran over and lifted my clothes, and then a miracle happened, I saw two eldest brothers and two thirds! The new ones are as if you are alive, as if you are asleep. I was amazed and delighted, but I couldn't help myself think about it, so I immediately moved you who were dead and hid them so that I could tell you when you woke up. Feng Sandao thought about it, otherwise he and the third child would have been scared to death even if they were alive at that time, but is this kind of appearance really considered "alive"? Feng Sandao originally thought that he was already a ghost, but after listening to the second child's story, he felt that he might as well become a ghost, at least he could know what he was. But his consciousness is indeed himself, and if he hadn't found his dead self, then he might never have known that the original self was dead. Yuan Lao Er seemed to see through Feng Sandao's thoughts, so he said to him, eldest brother, don't worry, maybe your life should not be extinguished, it is God's will, this is the "Immortal Cave", you see that the wonders here are definitely the only ones in the world! Feng Sandao nodded after listening to Yuan Lao'er's words, and after thinking about it, it didn't seem to be anything bad, wasn't he alive and well at the moment? The mirror may have just given him a new body. Thinking of this, Feng Sandao was in a better mood when he was lonely, and said to Yuan Laoer, since this is the case, let's go back, the third child woke up and probably thought we were missing!
Just when the two were about to leave, Yuan Lao Er suddenly thought of something, turned around and ran back to the stone platform, picked up the bronze mirror and put it on his body, and stroked the rock wall out of curiosity before leaving, and suddenly a man appeared on the rock wall, and Yuan Lao Er exclaimed in fright. What's going on? Feng Sandao subconsciously touched the saber on his waist.
It's okay. Yuan Lao Er said that it seemed to be a mirror.
