As we walked back, Granny Bai arranged for a car.

In the car, Wang Xiaoyu leaned softly in my arms and fell asleep. She's so tired, it's time to rest.

Copper lock sat in the passenger seat, looking at his phone. Li Yang, next to me, leaned against the window, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. It was very quiet in the car.

I took out the page that Granny Bai gave me and looked at it, and I couldn't understand the pattern on it. It is an irregular circle, with a circle of flame-like things on the outside, and several inexplicable patterns around the circle inside. Overall, it looks like an icon of some kind of organization, and it looks like an ancient totem.

What does Granny Bai mean when she says that this thing is related to my future? I don't understand it.

When he was about to enter the county, Li Yang suddenly opened his eyes and said something very inexplicable: "Before Damin went to Sichuan, we met. ”

I watched him with Copperlock.

Li Yang didn't know what to think of, he suddenly smiled, and laughed happily while pondering: "Do you know what Dao Damin told me?" ”

"Say what?" I asked.

Li Yang said: "Damin told me that he wanted to become a god in this world. ”

"Madman." Copper Lock also smiled.

Li Yang said: "At that time, I also reacted in this way, laughing at him for not being self-conscious, naïve and ridiculous. It's like a child saying it. Even if he had some ability, he wouldn't be so arrogant. ”

I didn't laugh, I knew that Li Yang didn't say this for no reason, maybe he wanted to express something.

"Damin was very serious at that time, and said to me that not only must you be a good 'person', but also be able to be a 'god', so that you can be considered transparent." Li Yang said.

"What do you mean, why didn't I understand." Copper Lock is puzzled.

Li Yang said: "For example, in football, to see whether a team is mature, their style of play must be fast and slow, when it is fast, it is like a wind forest and volcano, and when it is slow, it is like a breeze and rain. Just blindly seeking fast, or only slow, is not a sign of maturity and transparency. ”

"There's some truth to that." Copper Lock said.

"It's the same with being human." Li Yang said: "There is a little story that you must have heard, the Buddha wanted to make people become Buddhas, and a eunuch went and said that I have no concept of sex at all, and I meet the conditions for becoming a Buddha." The Buddha said that you don't know the color of the path, so how can you be white? ”

Copper Lock smiled dumbly: "I know what you mean, in Li Damin's understanding, you can be both a human being and a god, so that you can better understand life." It can not only save people, but also kill people, this is the supreme meaning of the knife. He said that I can understand this, but I think I am a little extreme, and this kind of thinking is material. ”

"Yes, it's for physical purposes. It can not only be cold and icy, but also return to the earth in spring, and it is the realm of transparency. Li Yang said.

I looked at Li Yang and asked, "The reason why you want to become the king of people is also for this purpose?" ”

"Yes." Li Yang said: "I'm not an official fan, and I don't care about any authority in the world, I just want to achieve a deeper realm that is different from my current life by being a human king." For a long time, I was in a shadow of not being able to move forward, trying to break through but not finding a way. Since that time, Peng Liang told me his thoughts, and we hit it off immediately. ”

"What the hell is he trying to do? Just want to make people a god? I couldn't help but say.

Li Yang shook his head, his eyes were a little confused: "He said, if I become the king of people, I must give him a chance." ”

"What chance?" Copper Lock was stunned when he heard this.

"He wants to do social testing and transformation. He said that someone had given him a suggestion to create a world realm, and this world realm was the perfect human world in his mind. He wanted to see what a paradise on earth would look like, built exactly according to his ideas. ”

Copper Suo scolded: "Damn, who gave Peng Liang a bad idea, it's really lacking in morality." ”

"Don't jump to conclusions. If you don't build it up, how do you know that this is a bad idea? Li Yang said: "If I become the king of men, I will give him a huge test field, and take all sentient beings to do this kind of test of heaven on earth, and see what the results will be." ”

I wanted to say something, but I vaguely felt that something was wrong, as if the topic had been mentioned somewhere.

Copper Lock's eyes widened: "Damn, if you want to be so messy, I will be the first to rebel against you." ”

"I'll behead you all over the house." Li Yang laughed loudly.

We went home and settled Wang Xiaoyu. The three of us briefly discussed it and decided to go to Ma Weiguo's small building today, get up early tomorrow, take the equipment, and go directly to the cave.

This matter is already on the way, and it can only develop slowly as the situation develops.

On the way to Lingzi Mountain, Li Yang made arrangements for family affairs and greeted his parents, relatives and friends. Once you go missing, you can have an explanation. Seeing him explain his future in an orderly manner, I admire him a little. It's okay to talk about life and death, but when you really face it personally, few people can be so calm.

Li Yang told me that if he was unfortunately killed and disappeared, the copyright and manuscript fee of the novel would be handed over to me. It's okay to donate, or it's okay to keep it for yourself. It's okay if you want to continue publishing, or if you want to continue writing it yourself. His "Hades" series was originally taken from my own story, and now I will return it to me.

Copperlock licked his face and asked what had been left for him. Li Yang said that he left a batch of seeds in the sperm bank for Copper Lock. Copperlock was so angry that he almost didn't kick him. Li Yang said with a smile that once he was killed, the seeds would be kept for their old Li family.

It's tragic, it's really windy and cold.

At six o'clock in the evening, I arrived at the small building. I saw that Liang Weiwu and Ma Weiguo were carrying a large stack of equipment to the backyard. I was curious and followed me to the backyard. It is quite large and surrounded by an iron fence.

The yard was originally made up of mountains, and the weeds and stones had been cleared, leaving only a dark hole in the center of the ground.

This is the legendary cave. As soon as I walked over to the side, I felt an inexplicable chill. It was cloudy and cold, and goosebumps were rising.

I stood on the edge with the copper lock, holding my legs and looking down together, there was nothing in the black, I couldn't see anything, it was really bottomless.

At that moment, I really had a strong feeling that this hole might really lead to hell.

Ma Weiguo put things on the ground, walked over with cotton gloves and a cigarette: "Two children, also interested?" Let's go down tomorrow. ”

The copper lock face turned white, and he hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

Ma Weiguo picked up a bamboo pole from the ground, lit the wolf's eye flashlight, tied it to the head of the bamboo pole, and then slowly stretched it into the hole.

We looked at it, and the flashlight was very bright, and it could illuminate a large area. At the edge of the cave is a large pile of rubble and rotten grass, and if you continue to dig down, you can see that the diameter of the hole is about more than a meter long, which can barely accommodate a person.

We craned our necks and followed the light down. This hole is so eerie, faintly damp out, and has a feeling that is hard to describe. Halfway down the bamboo pole, we couldn't keep up with it, and it was pitch black at the bottom.

Ma Weiguo slowly took out the bamboo pole, untied the flashlight, threw the pole aside, ignored us, and went straight back to the house.

On this night, everyone actually put aside their previous suspicions and sat in the hall of the reception room. The wind was biting cold outside, the house was warm like spring, and everyone was together, talking and chatting.

Ma Weiguo and Liang Weiwu, talking about the past, actually sighed. Ma Weiguo said: "If we can come back alive, I hope to have a good drink and get drunk." ”

I couldn't help but say, "Why do you have to go down to the ground?" ”

Liang Weiwu leaned back on the sofa and pointed to the ceiling mysteriously: "This is our ultimate fate, God arranged it." If we are a program, then the person who arranges our fate is the programmer. ”

After a night of trouble, everyone fell asleep. The moment I fell asleep, I heard the copper lock say to himself: "Strange, where is my sister-in-law?" ”

Early the next morning, the sound of stray footsteps sounded. I slept lightly, opened my eyes and saw that they were all ready.

I wiped my eyes, refreshed myself, and followed them to the courtyard.

When Ma Weiguo built this place, he had already prepared all the equipment for the exploration of the lower cave. Ma Weiguo's father and son, Liang Weiwu, Li Yang, Chen Wei, a group of five people, changed their clothes, and the buttons of the mountaineering ropes were pinned to their waists, which looked decent.

I said to Li Yang: "You can go down, don't take the child, forget about Ma Bao." ”

Ma Weiguo looked at me, and a smile actually oozed from his very serious face.

At this time, Ma Bao suddenly spoke: "Thank you for your concern." It is my own will to go down the hole, and it has nothing to do with them. ”

The child looked at me with an expression on his face that only adults have. Apparently, he was resurrected again.

The brass lock patted me and shook his head slightly, signaling that it was not too much to do.

With glow sticks in their waists, mini hiking bags on their backs, headlamps tied to their heads, and flashlights, they began to fish into the burrows one after another.

Li Yang put his hands on the entrance of the cave, his two feet had fallen into the hole, he suddenly turned his head and looked at me and the copper lock outside the cave. It's hard to describe. He looked at us for a long time and said, "If we haven't come out in two days, you can deal with it yourself." ”

This is the last sentence I have ever heard, the most detrimental thing in the world.

Soon, the group all entered the burrow. The flashlight of the last person flickered slightly under the cave, and soon disappeared into the darkness of the forest, never to be seen again.

Looking at this hole, I knew that it would be difficult to see them again in the future.

I sat on the ground with the copper lock, the wind was cold, the sky was rolling with dark clouds, and we didn't feel cold. After being silent for a long time, Copper Lock asked, "Lao Liu, if they really can't come back...... We can't get down? ”

"Are you down?" I asked.

"No, I won't be killed."
