Chapter 200: Life and Death, Death and Life
After the door was closed, I patted my chest, glad that I had subconsciously hid behind the door just now, and thanks to the distance between the door panel and the robbery was enough for me to hide, otherwise, my buddy would have been buried here this time.
But it was precisely when I thought of this that I was stunned again, hiding behind the door panel? How do you feel so familiar? Thinking of this, I was shocked again, damn, that old ghost who 'looked at the sky at a glance' really worked!
That's right, isn't there one of the four sentences it just gave me: 'The road is behind the door'? Indeed, this is indeed a clear path!
My heart became more and more excited, so as long as I followed the remaining three sentences of criticism one by one, then I would be able to find Su Yidan's soul?
When I think about this, I feel strong again, and that's a good sign.
So I didn't dare to stay where I was, but picked up my legs and ran towards the end of the corridor, and in a few moments I ran to the door, which looked far more magnificent than the one I came, with a golden beast's head ring hanging from the two black panels, and a wooden stick between the two doors, which was connected to the door frame and the threshold.
At that time, I didn't care much, so I opened the right door panel, and got in, but when I stepped into the door, I suddenly felt that my feet were empty, and at the same time my body was weightless, and I actually fell, fortunately, fortunately, my reflex nerve was still counted, and at the moment I fell, I grabbed the pull tab on the door with both hands, and for a moment, I seemed to be falling into the air, and when I looked down, I was so frightened that I almost screamed.
It turned out that the sky outside this door was Wupengpeng, but under my feet was a deep valley, gray mist, I couldn't see the bottom at all, I grabbed the pull ring of the door and was hung in the air, I only felt that if I let go, I would definitely be thrown and there would be no bones left!
So I struggled and finally climbed up desperately, and when the door closed, I sat down in front of it, frightened.
I thought to myself, what's going on? Could it be that I opened the door the wrong way? How could this mountain gate be opened in mid-air? Doesn't that mean this is the way to some 'underworld'? How can this be?
At that time, I was really forced to a certain extent, so I had to stand up and look at the door carefully, but after looking at it for a while, I still didn't see any clues, so I had to carefully open the left door again.
Damn, sure enough, I opened it in the wrong way!
The scene in front of me is completely different from just now, after the door panel on the left is opened, although the outside of the door is still foggy, it is a straight road, and the cliff on the right is simply a heaven and an underground!
What's going on? I was stunned for a moment, but although there was a road in front of me, but after the catastrophe just now, I didn't dare to try it easily, you must know that I am now in a completely strange and unreasonable place, as long as I take a wrong step, I will fall into the land of ten thousand tribulations, so I had to close the door again, and then opened the right door again, sure enough, it was still in the air outside, and the deep valley below made me feel dizzy, and I hurriedly closed the door again.
And when I closed the door, I finally found that there was a faint word on the head of the beast that was biting the pull ring, so I looked up, and sure enough, there was this vague boy on both beasts' heads, the one on the left was written 'life', and the one on the right was written 'death'.
This is truly the door of life and death, I thought to myself after wiping the sweat from my head.
I believe that people with a little common sense will choose the way of life after seeing these two words, but at that time I really hesitated, because I remembered the old ghost of the unknown prophet gave me, and there was no sentence in those four sentences: 'Life and death come and death and life'?
What do you mean by that? At that time, I was standing in front of the door, and my head kept wondering if this old ghost should be fooling me, after all, a sentence of criticism had been fulfilled just now, and now I saw these two words in front of this door, so this door must have something to do with that sentence, but what does it mean?
I thought to myself that this should have two meanings, the first is that although the scenery of these two doors is different after opening, the content is the same, that is, no matter which door I walk, I can find Su Yidan. And the second meaning is embarrassing, life is also death, that is, the door on the left does not look at the road outside, but it is indeed a road that leads me to death, and the door on the right, although it leads to the cliff, looks like I will fall to death, but it can keep me alive.
Damn, which one is right? I thought to myself, this riddle is really terrible, you must know that I don't have that much time, big brother!
After all, if the first meaning of this batch of words is true, then it means that the two paths are actually the same, and in this case, there is no conflict with the second meaning, that is, the dead road is the way of life.
But although that's the case, it's really hard to do, after all, people are more or less afraid of high altitudes, otherwise the playground won't scare so many people every year, let's calculate, the free fall in the amusement park is about 60 meters, and there are safety measures, but it can always scare people to pee their pants, not to mention the height outside the door is now more than 600 meters? And I don't even have a hair safety measure on my body, this is a veritable free fall, how can people choose calmly!
My heart was pounding, and I couldn't make up my mind for a while, but time really waited for no one, and I was finally forced to have no choice, so I gritted my teeth and opened the door on the right, and a feeling of dizziness came again, so that my feet began to tremble again.
I was scared again, but I had no choice, I closed my eyes and began to cheer myself up in my heart, yes, courage is the product of fear, although fear, but I have something that I must protect! I can't stop here, and if I do, won't everything I've done before be a joke?
As soon as I thought of Su Yidan's face, I felt that I didn't feel afraid, so I opened my eyes again, and scolded in my heart: Mother, if you have a leg, you will die, anyway, Lao Tzu didn't plan to get out alive after entering this ghost street!
Thinking of this, I didn't give myself room for regret, so I jumped sharply, and before I could jump any higher, my body had already lost control and the fall began.
This kind of weightlessness that seems to be thrown out of the heart really kills, how to describe it? I hadn't ever skydived, so I didn't know if it was the taste, so I could only describe it as bungee jumping, but it was bungee jumping without a rope around my feet, and my body was constantly spinning in the air, and I felt a flash of Venus in front of me, and the speed of the fall was even faster than the speed of thinking, so that before I could understand what was going on, I had already plunged into the deep valley.
After a long time, when I chatted with a senior who knew well about the affairs of the underworld, I realized that my choice was right at that time, and that both sides of the gate were indeed the way to live, but for me at that time, if I chose the left path, it would be tantamount to suicide.
As I said before, the place I am going to this time is called 'Yin City', that is, the place where the Yin and Yang intersect painted on my Kaiyuan drum, where the souls of the dead take the train to the Xudu Difu (this train is not made out of thin air, in fact, it has been recorded in Buddhist allusions thousands of years ago, and if you are interested, you can check it), and those ghosts who died in vain If they want to think of this Yin set, they will also be escorted by the ghost to take the train to a certain place in the Yin City first, and then they can come to the 'Yin Si Street'.
And the left and right sides of the door, in fact, all lead to the Yin City, the door on the left is a straight road, by the ghost guard to the station, and the door on the right is the side door, there is no ghost guard, although it also leads to the Yin City, but this landing place is far away from the Yin City, belonging to a dangerous road.
Speaking of which, if I chose the road on the left at that time, although I could go directly to the Yin City, I couldn't escape the torture of the ghost on the other side, so I was right to choose the right road, it was just very risky.
It wasn't until later, when I remembered that I had fallen from mid-air, that I still couldn't calm down, yes, it was so scary, and I felt like throwing up, so much so that I lost consciousness in the pitch black in front of me.
I'm glad I woke up. When I woke up, I found that I was lying on a piece of ground, and I immediately sat up, and at the same time subconsciously began to check whether I had broken it, which was outrageous, I was not injured in any way, not even the skin was scratched.
I raised my head and looked at the sky in disbelief, but I found that there was still some sky, a gray patch overhead, the experience just now was like a dream, and at this time there was also a thick fog around me, and I seemed to be caught in this fog.
In that environment, my heart is really bottomless, you think, I can't tell the direction now, and the fog is so big, I can't even see anything around me, where do I want to go?
At this moment, everything can only be determined by intuition and God's arrangement, although I hate this, but there is really no way, it is better to move forward than to sit still, so I stood up, took out the shaman golden knife from my backpack, and then tied the copper bell to my right wrist, after all, I don't know what will be on this road, so it is better to hold a weapon than to be empty-handed.
In this way, I carried the knife and walked aimlessly forward, it was amazing, I didn't go around in a circle, now I think about it, the road seems to be the same as a person's surname, after walking for a while, the fog around me gradually faded a lot, although it did not disperse, but it also allowed me to see the environment around me clearly.
It was as if I was in a scattered forest, with no leaves, just dry trunks, and the dirt under my feet was hard and there were no flowers or plants. The temperature was moderate, neither hot nor cold, and there was no wind, which was amazing, and there was no wind in that place except when you were running, there was no smell, and there was no so-called black sky and day, and there was only a blank gray, somewhat similar to the feeling of a cloudy day.
And walking seems to be light, after a long time, like a dream, I can't seem to tell whether I was dreaming or not, because it feels too much like a dream to me here.
In this way, I walked on for a while, and at last the mud under my feet came to an end, and two forks in the road appeared in front of me, which were cut off by trees, a small path and a large road.
There was a thick fog on the side of the path, and there was a faint mist on the side of the road, but there seemed to be a little light in the mist.
There is another common sense problem here, I believe that if I didn't have this experience, after falling into this kind of place, everyone with a long brain would choose that big road, but I didn't.
This time I set out on the misty path without any temper, after all, the old fortune teller had already fulfilled two sentences of approval for me, so I had no reason not to believe it.
You know, the situation I encountered at that time also happened to fulfill the sentence in the approval letter it gave me: 'The road is indeed empty'.
Since the end of the road is empty and happy, then I shall go to his dry hair?
Actually, my choice is really unreasonable, but then again, what is the point of this ghost place that is in line with common sense? And it seems that this choice is much simpler than the previous one, so don't you just take the path? I'll just go.
So I didn't hesitate to plunge into the fog again, this time the fog seemed to be thicker than the last time, I couldn't see anything in front of me, and the color in front of me was gray, as if I was blind, so I had to look down at the road under my feet, the road was indeed very narrow, only two feet wide, but fortunately it was not straight, otherwise I really didn't know if I was standing still.
This walk, I don't know how long I walked, I also mentioned it just now, that feeling is no different from a dream, because I don't feel tired, there is just endless loneliness, the mobile phone in my pocket has been automatically turned off when I enter Yin Si Street, I can't see what time it is, but this has caused great pressure in my heart.
Fortunately, I had a thought in my heart that was even more stressful than this, and this is the reason why I stepped into this hellish place, I have no reason to be afraid or complain, all I need is to keep going like this.
At that time, I even thought, if this road really has no end, then will I just go all the way to death?
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I keep persuading myself in my heart, life is originally a road to the dark, death is the end, what am I afraid of? And it's not a pity that I can die on the way to find the precious things in my heart, after all, I didn't give up halfway, after all, I tried, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!
That's it, and I don't know how long it has been, but I'm glad that this road has an end, and I'm glad that I didn't die on this road, in fact, I didn't walk long at that time, it seems that it was less than a day, but the mental pressure gave me the illusion that I had been walking for a long time.
So when I saw that the fog had dissipated, and there was finally an end in front of me, I had an indescribable feeling in my heart, and I did not stop, but hurried towards the open place, where the path ended, and at the junction of the road, a stone tablet appeared, and this stone tablet had its back to me, so I couldn't see what was written on it, so I walked for a while, and then turned around in front of the stone tablet, and saw a couplet and a few big characters written on the stone tablet, and I looked at the words on the stone tablet and thought to myself, I've heard of this place, so it's here!
