The factory is said to be similar to the last time I visited, a deserted place, but it feels like it has changed. The air was more gloomy, cold, and darker. The darkness here is condensed like substance, like a special substance floating in the air, and when you walk here, you are quickly wrapped in darkness, and you can barely see.

Fortunately, I had the lantern in my hand, and I looked back, and in the condensing darkness, the red light from several lanterns loomed behind me. Although I couldn't see anyone, knowing that they were all there, I calmed down a little, took a deep breath, and slowly walked towards the stairs according to the route in my memory.

Under the red light, I could barely see an area of about two meters in radius, the ground was covered with rubble, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and I didn't know how long I had walked, and finally I saw the concrete staircase. I was about to go up when Lai Ying's voice sounded behind me: "Xiaohui, guard the first floor." ”

"Yes." I couldn't help but look back, only to see one of the several lanterns staggering out of the ranks, slowly walking away until it disappeared into the darkness and was never seen again.

I wiped my sweat and walked up the stairs, each step weighing like a thousand pounds, until I finally made my way to the second floor. Lai Ying also ordered Xiaoxue to guard here.

We began to go to the third floor, the higher we went, the colder it became, the colder it was, and the most unbearable thing was the inexplicable pressure, which weighed on our hearts like stones. Whew, can't breathe; Suck, can't suck in, scratches the heart and scratches the liver, and always feels like something is going to happen.

When I got to the staircase from the third floor to the fourth floor, I almost suffocated. Lai Ying ordered Erlong to guard here. Erlong Hanhan said "yes" and walked away with the lantern trail. These two dragons must have instructed the secret method in private, and he knew what he should do.

Further up is the location of the ghost formation on the fourth floor.

My heart was pounding and my palms were sweating. Lai Ying urged behind: "Let's go, don't delay time." If the rooster crows at dawn, nothing can be done. This kind of ghost array, during the day, will seal the big array, you can't get in or out, if we can't break the formation before dawn, everyone will be sealed here. ”

I wiped my sweat and walked up the stairs with a lantern, turning the corner of the stairs and going straight up to the fourth floor. When I got to the edge of the fourth floor, I saw clearly, and the inside of the fourth floor was not like the floors below that were pure black, but there was a faint light through.

How to describe the fourth floor, like a desert in the dark night, the fog in the line of sight, the sand and dust rolling, the farthest core position, faintly strange light through, like a haunted house in the deep mountains and old forests. I was already here, and I couldn't go back, so I wiped my face and walked inside.

At the moment of stepping out, I heard Liu Yang say behind me: "It's a little interesting, I actually made my own underworld." ”

The next second, I felt like everything had changed, and I seemed to be getting smaller. At the staircase on the fourth floor, you can see the ceiling when you look up, and although it is empty and poorly lit, it feels like you have a rough idea of the area of the space on the fourth floor. At this moment, I felt like I had entered another world, the space expanded to infinity, the ceiling was not visible at all, and the surrounding area was full of wind and dust.

The most intuitive judgment is that I suddenly became smaller, so the fourth floor felt like the size of the world.

Whether this is a delusion or a real situation, I don't know. Now I understand one thing, human perception is really unreliable.

I looked back, there were still a few red lanterns behind me, swaying in the dark, and I saw that they were so sure-footed. No matter what happens, as long as these masters are by my side, I am not afraid.

I walked forward, surrounded by black sand, and it was like stepping into a world of sandstorms. Strangely, although I walked in the sand, I couldn't feel the sand, and what I saw in front of me was as if I was isolated behind a frosted diaphragm. I walked forward for a long time, and there was still no end, not even a figure.

At this moment, a huge thing loomed in front of me, and when I got closer, I saw clearly that it was a lotus platform. The shape of this lotus throne is quite weird, and it is carried by eight quaint and terrifying ghost statues below, these ghost statues are all carved from black stone, with angry eyes and mouths, and their hair is bearded, each of which is life-size, gathered in a circle, how to look how gloomy.

Lai Ying laughed twice: "A formation of eyes, interesting, Yuantong is up to you to calm the eyes." ”

Yuantong carried the red lantern and slowly climbed to the lotus throne, and in a vague way, I saw countless sharp blades stretching out from the lotus seat, and Yuantong passed through it in an instant. Yuan Tongda sat on it, put the lantern aside, folded his hands, closed his eyes and chanted a mantra, as if he didn't care about the knife piercing his body. But I could clearly see the blood slowly meandering through it, dripping down the edge of the lotus throne.

I hurriedly said, "Is he okay?" ”

Lai Ying said: "It's up to you whether they have anything to do." ”

"What do you say?" I was a little confused.

"The ghost array here is not simple, it is composed of several array eyes, and each of them must guard the formation eye, so as to ensure that you can go to the formation core along the way. These formations must pay a considerable price if they are to be guarded, these knives are the blades of ghostly condensation, which do not hurt the body but hurt the soul, and the soul is like tormenting in the boiling oil. To finish this qiē, it depends on whether you can finally break the core of the formation and find the secret of the Holy Aunt. Lai Ying said.

I sweated down: "This pressure is too much, I won't play anymore." ”

At this time, Liu Yang stepped forward with a lantern and patted me: "Brother, your name is Luo Dao?" ”

"Yes."

Liu Yang said: "This person is the cheapest. ”

As soon as he said this, several people present were stunned. Lai Ying frowned: "Monkey cub, what are you talking about." ”

Liu Yang ignored her, looked at me and said: "Only when people are forced into a desperate situation do they know where their limits are, do you say that people are cheap or not?!" I turned out to be the same as you, an ordinary little ** silk, just trying to go to work with peace of mind, wasting my life and wasting time every month for the dead salary of those melons and dates, I thought that my life would pass like this. Luo Dao, you said that if people are like this, what is the point of living? Of course, everyone has their own ambitions, and some people just want to be stable, even if they are called by their bosses like dogs, as long as they can keep their jobs, they can get by. Life is in the world for so many decades, when you are old, everyone is a closed eye and kicks your legs down, these decades are not used to enjoy life and watch the world, which is equivalent to living in vain. To put it mildly, I may be a monkey in the next life, you may be a dog, and then I don't know how to reincarnate in the year of the monkey, when you lie in the kennel, recalling that you were a person in your last life, just like this, don't you regret it? ”

He patted me on the shoulder: "Complete your self-worth, do what you think is worth doing, live a true self, you just didn't live in vain." ”

His tone is very flat, without any demagogy, but every word and sentence is like a hammer smashing into my heart, living a true self! His pre-war mobilization did work, I looked at him, nodded deeply, and continued to walk forward with the lantern.

Along the way, we walked far away, and several lotus platforms appeared one after another. There are fewer and fewer people around me, and in the end there are only Lai Ying and Liu Yang.

At this time, a lotus seat appeared in the distance, Lai Ying looked at Liu Yang, Liu Yang looked at Lai Ying, Liu Yang said: "Long Po, you come, you are old, I won't rob you." ”

Lai Ying laughed: "Monkey cub, you really came out of purgatory, you are true and temperamental." Luo Dao, I sue you, Liu Yang just inadvertently broke through the threshold of delusion, that is, no matter what you have experienced and seen, keep your state of mind unchanged from beginning to end, be yourself, and make a true self. This is also the key to your fight against the Holy Gu. ”

She staggered to the lotus seat with the lantern, jumped up, meditated cross-legged, and entered the state of concentration.

Liu Yang looked at me: "Luo Dao, do you bring cigarettes?" ”

I couldn't imagine that he would make such a request, and I couldn't laugh or cry. I shook my head: "I didn't bring it." ”

Liu Yang smacked his lips: "I haven't smoked for a long time, and my mouth looks like a worm crawling." I've experienced something similar before, where several people were trapped in one place and had to get out, only to have their companions die one after another, and the more people came on, the fewer people came, and finally only I was left. ”

In the dark, he talked about the past, and I listened with some fascination and asked, "And then?" ”

"We used to walk on the Yellow Springs Road in the underworld," he smiled, "and everyone stayed in different Hades halls according to karma, and in the end only I was left." I thought I could get out alive, but I ended up in the deepest Infernal Hell, and I have been until now. ”

His tone was flat.

I didn't speak, and walked in silence. Liu Yang, although he has not been in contact for a long time, he can feel that he has a strong personality. Everywhere is not shocked, gloomy, and the feeling of being down-to-earth. I think he is more like a monk than Yuantong, and Yuantong is like a hooligan than a copper lock.

At this moment, a large building faintly appeared in front of us, and in the dark wind and sand, I saw a huge blast furnace standing in the distance. My mind moved, this should be to the village of the Holy Aunt.
