The abbot had no way of curling up in a turtle shell like us, and his hands and feet were spread out, like a big turtle, lying on the ground—

Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but laugh.

The old man supervised us with someone and turned a deaf ear to the abbot's complaints.

After ten minutes, I felt that my hands and feet were a little numb, and I had no choice but to stretch out my hands and feet like the abbot.

The abbot looked at me with a sad face: "Xu You, these people have no intention of letting us go at all, this is their newly conceived torture, and they plan to torture us." ”

I frowned and didn't speak, just trying to find a comfortable position for myself.

As King Jizo said, we have stayed up all night and are very sleepy.

I lay on my stomach inside the turtle shell and, before I knew it, fell asleep.

I slept soundly. When I woke up, it was already dark.

I opened my eyes and saw a candle lit in the darkness.

I was lying in a cabin.

I stood up. I touched my body and found that the turtle shell was missing for some time.

The hut was empty, save for a candle. Other than that, there is nothing more.

I looked at the place with some trepidation, intending to go out.

When I decided to walk out of here, I realized that the hut had several doors.

The doors weren't small, and there was barely much area to divide the walls. I looked at the doors and felt like this should be a kiosk with doors attached.

I opened one of the doors and walked out.

I was taken aback by the sight outside, which was still a hut with the same candle lit. There are a lot of doors in the same way.

I felt a hint of fear and quickly retreated.

I took a deep breath and opened another door.

Behind the door, there was the same room, exactly the same as before.

I panicked and opened all the doors, and then I found that behind each door, there was an identical room.

I began to sweat on my forehead, and I suddenly had a premonition in my heart.

I'm afraid there are countless huts connected to each other, and I was placed inside one of them. Every hut was exactly the same, and I don't know how many times I had to open the door to get out.

I crouched on the ground and gasped for a moment, then I opened a door and walked down one hut after another.

As long as these doors are not locked, I will definitely come to an end if I walk like this.

I don't know how long I've been wandering here. Still not on the edge, I'm starting to despair a little.

I crouched on the ground, not knowing what to do.

Suddenly, I noticed a problem. These huts are not square, but a pentagonal shape. Each door is right in the middle of one of the sides. These pentagons are connected. I thought I was walking in a straight line, going down the same door one by one. Actually, I'm going in big circles.

After figuring this verse out, I suddenly became happy. It seems that the name of the college student is not called in vain.

By candlelight, I drew a sketch on the ground with my fingers, and measured the length of each wall with steps, so that I could deduce that I needed to correct the direction of the few rooms I walked.

With that done, I carved a cross on the candle with my finger as a mark.

Then I set off.

One step, two steps, three steps. I took the biggest steps, counting the numbers and moving forward.

I walked through three rooms when I caught a glimpse of the candle on the table. Immediately, to the horror of discovering that there was a red cross on the candle.

The shock in my heart was indescribable: "How is that possible? I've only walked three rooms, how can I get back to the room I just had? ”

I stepped back and found that there were traces of the cross in the second room, and the first room, too.

I stared blankly at the candle on the table: "Could it be that I've been going around the same room for so long?" ”

With that in mind, I picked up the candle on the table and prepared to go to the second room.

I walked slowly to the door where the two rooms met.

Then he looked inside with a candle.

I looked at the second room, and I will never forget the sight inside.

I saw another me, holding a candle inside, with his back to me, looking into the third room, probing his head out.

As you can imagine, in every room below, there is such a me. The same thing is being done.

My hands trembled, and the candle fell to the ground.

I felt a chill in my heart: "Not good, my candles." "In this place is to go to the light source, it's like looking for death.

However, before my candle could hit the ground, a large hand grabbed it, and then a familiar voice said, "Xu You, what are you doing?" ”

I saw Wushuang standing behind me, looking at me strangely.

When I saw Wushuang coming, I was overjoyed and asked, "How did you find this place?" You're here to save me? ”

Wushuang looked at me blankly: "What do you say?" What can't be saved? I woke up, got up from the ground, and found myself being sent to this place. You're sneaking around with a candle by the door, and you don't know what you're doing. ”

I listened to Wushuang's words, and I immediately understood in my heart. She must have been thrown here for some reason.

But the strange thing is that there was obviously no one here just now, how did Wushuang appear out of thin air?

I looked up at the roof: "Did it fall from the sky?" ”

While the two of us were studying the roof, a cold hand grabbed my ankle.

I screamed, reflexively shook the hand away, and raised my foot to step on it.

That's when I heard the abbot's voice: "Don't don't, it's me." ”

I looked down and saw that it was the abbot, who was slowly getting up from the ground.

I looked at him in surprise: "You also woke up and found yourself in this place?" ”

The abbot nodded: "Yes." ”

I looked at the ground: "That's weird. Could it be that people appear out of thin air? ”

I stared at the ground for a moment, and then, I saw that King Jizo had really appeared in the room out of thin air, and he also got up with a blank face.

The four of us looked at each other and asked, "What's going on?" ”

The question was asked by four people together, and no one was able to answer it.

Then, I heard a slightly older voice say, "All right, you four are here." ”

Then, with a flash of white light, an old man appeared beside us.

As soon as I saw this old man, I immediately came to my senses. Isn't this an old man who tells fortunes?

I walked over quickly, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "So you're really not dead." ”

Old man Shi glanced at me and said with a smile: "Xu You, don't come to harm." ”

I said, "What's going on?" What did you do with us here? Old man Shi, you're really not interesting, I thought you were dead. ”

Unexpectedly, Old Man Shi shook his head: "Actually, I am not the Old Man Shi you know, he is just an incarnation of me." It's a bit like the illusion of you monastics. However, your illusion is conjured with Taoism, and my incarnation is from a turtle shell. ”

Wushuang stood up and said, "Are you a scumbag?" ”

The old man nodded and said, "That's right, I'm a scumbag." ”

I asked him, "What's going on?" ”

He smiled and said, "Originally, I was just an ordinary turtle. If you want to become a divine beast, you have to go through countless life and death tribulations. ”

"Every time I die, I leave a turtle shell behind and then I turn back into a baby turtle. In this way, the power becomes stronger and stronger, the longer the life lasts, and the shell of the turtle is getting bigger and bigger. ”

He pointed around us, "Now you're in one of my tortoise shells. ”

King Jizo shook his head: "It's true that our bodies are in turtle shells, in fact, we should be in dreams." ”

When King Jizo said this, my heart moved. Yes, what happened here can only be explained by dreams.

As for the words of the Jizo King, he did not seem to have any intention of denying it, and he generously admitted: "Yes, you are in a dream. There are turtle shells on your bodies, so I can use some means to bring you here. ”
