Chapter 70: A Dream Like a Dream (7)
"Whoa!" A few gravels fell into the abyss, Si Yi glanced down, saw the lava rolling below, and a few bubbles popped up from time to time, and his heart was inevitably worried, holding the torch in his hand tightly, and the fire light emitted also illuminated the little bit of the place.
Walking into this dark cave, Siyi used the materials at hand, set up a simple torch, passed through a pile of rocks, and came to a dark cliff. Under the cliff is full of beating hot magma, emitting a dark red light, illuminating the surroundings, faintly seeing more and more, there seems to be a road on the opposite side, and the compass in his hand also points out the direction, and he must go to the other side.
The lava abyss in the middle is more than 20 zhang long, only a thin stone bridge about half a step wide is connected, Si Yi lightly touched his toes, it seemed to be very strong, and he had the courage to walk to it.
Seeing the surging lava below, Siyi sighed slightly in his heart, then regained his spirit and looked at the other side. I am also secretly complaining in my heart, the environment here is really bad, and the dried meat of the frog stingers in the package is eating at most, and if I can't find a way out or food, I will confess here.
All the way to the opposite side with a sense of apprehension, holding the torch high, looking around, the darkness was full of rocks, some large and some small, piled together, forming a high and low scene. Siyi struggled to climb a rock, where he saw, it was still the same, sighed in his heart, took out the compass, fixed the position, and went to the right.
I had no choice but to speed up my pace, hoping to get out of here before the food ran out. Jumping over the stone pit, through the stone crevices, and finally came to the belly of this mountain.
As soon as he entered the middle of the mountain, he saw an empty darkness, Siyi was taken aback, and raised his head to look into the distance, but this thick darkness seemed to be endless, and the torch in his hand illuminated a limited range, and nothing could be seen on it. I lowered my head and looked ahead, in the darkness, I had a faint feeling of unease, but I couldn't say why, so I quickened my pace, held the torch high in the dark, and ran hard.
On the surrounding mountain walls, large and small are full of rocks and pits, his footsteps are particularly harsh in the dark, his eyes inadvertently glanced, and he saw a vague shadow in the distance, it seems to be a cave, the cave feels particularly terrible to himself, and there is a faint sense of fear in his heart. My heart trembled, and I hurriedly ran wildly, but the landing under my feet became lighter and lighter, and I didn't even dare to take a breath of air, for fear that I would alarm something.
The road in the cave became narrower and narrower, and at the end, there was only one path left, and the sides became higher and higher, and in some places, there was only a narrow gap left, and you had to cross it sideways.
Beads of sweat the size of beans fell on his face, and his stomach was already hungry, but he didn't dare to stop at all, and his speed did not decrease, for fear that something terrible would appear.
Behind a boulder, he finally sat on the ground panting and holding on to the stone wall, but his body shrank back as much as possible, and the torch was inserted into the corner, not daring to make the slightest publicity.
The thirst in his mouth was terrible, he took the water bladder, drank a mouthful of the blood of the sting, shook it, alas, there was not much left.
Wiping the blood from the corners of his mouth, the premonition in his heart was even more uneasy, and it did not decrease because of his wild running, but became more intense. Put your things away, bundle the package tightly behind your back, grab the torch, and continue on your way.
As soon as he stood up, the ground shook suddenly, scattered dust fell from his head, and a loud roar sounded in his ears. Siyi was shocked, and hurriedly didn't think about it, confirmed the direction, and continued to run lifelessly.
The roar behind it was getting louder and louder, but it was the sound of something walking. Holding back the fear in his heart, he forced himself not to look back, but just ran in the dark.
"Huh, is this?" Siyi's eyes suddenly widened, because there was no way on the mountain wall in front of him. There was only an endlessly high stone wall, just silently in front of me.
Siyi wiped the sweat on his head, and then desperately touched the rough stone wall with his hand, and the voice behind him came slowly, and in the distance, the sound of the gravel opening the road could already be heard.
"No, what is this?" Touching the gap in the mountain wall with his palm, he gradually had a glimmer of hope in his heart, took the torch, put his eyes together, looked carefully, and sure enough, he found something strange. A looming stone door appeared in front of him, there was a person as tall as possible, but it couldn't be opened, the firelight illuminated the pattern on the door, Siyi was shocked, this pattern was......
Hurriedly wiped off the dust on it, and gradually became clear, this is some scattered text, it is italics, I can still recognize it, although it is not coherent, but it is carved into a circle, and there is a sentence engraved above, which is engraved horizontally, and can be read, "Where is the thought of life, when death is in front, life and death." ”
Siyi was very anxious, but the life and death scene for many years was not practiced in vain, and the death behind him was in front of him, but he calmed down, this stone gate must be some kind of mechanism, otherwise it would not have been made like this.
There are all kinds of classics in the family, and naturally the art of Qimen Dunjia is indispensable, and between the lightning and flint in my heart, I flashed all the books I read when I was a child, and then tried to push these stone circles with my hands, and sure enough, these are all moving.
As long as the text is turned by the turntable, the lock should be open. But the text is messy, how do you know which ones are correct?
A violent roar appeared in the darkness in the distance, the dust on his head fell more and more frequently, the ground shook more and more, Siyi's face changed, that thing was coming, and the cold sweat behind his back was almost wet with his clothes.
In my heart, I silently recited the above sentence, "Where is the thought of life, the time of death is in front, and the great phase is life and death." The last sentence of "life and death of the great minister" I know it, and it comes out of the "New Tang Book". But the previous paragraph, I don't know, it is estimated that the author carved it himself, the stone circle in front of him has five layers from the inside to the outside, engraved with dozens of Chinese characters, "silent, talking, laughing, exhausted, brave......" and so on, it is estimated that as long as the previous sentence is on, you can open the stone door.
The temperature around is getting higher and higher, and the heat wave can be clearly felt on the skin, and in the roar, I glanced back, and behind a boulder in the distance, there was a red light, too bad, it's coming.
"Life and death, life and death" Siyi silently recited in his heart, thousands of thoughts flashed in his heart, no matter how many gravel fell around his body, the torch in his hand was about to burn out, a burst of dust fell on his eyes, blocking his vision, and his dirty hands were wiped away with sweat. The person who engraved the words must know the current situation, otherwise he would not talk about life and death, the line between life and death, and the line between life and death...... Anxious, he even stomped his feet, his eyes widened, staring at the stone circle. Suddenly, my heart lit up, "Where is the thought of life, the time of death is in front, the great phase of life and death, only the resolute are in front." ”
Looking back, there were all these five words on the stone circle, and he hurriedly pushed the stone circle and matched these five words. As soon as they met, they heard the long-awaited "click" sound, and the door lock opened! At this time, there was a pain in the right hand, and it turned out that the torch had been burned and burned to the hand.
Throwing away the torch, hitting his shoulder, gritting his teeth, with all his strength, he slowly pushed open a narrow crack in the door with both hands, and no matter what was on the other side of the door, he walked out, turned around, and gritted his teeth to push the stone door up. At the last moment when the crack in the door slowly closed, the thing in the door finally dared to come to an end, and he finally saw its furious dignity......
"Sleeping Fire Great Ape!" flashed a name in his heart, the same as the record in the classics at home: Sleeping Fire Great Ape, where it was born is unknown, whether it exists is unknown, it is a thing that people pass on by word of mouth, and the theory of a hundred schools of thought is passed down in ancient times, the body is like an ape, a small horn is born at the back of the head, there are two short fangs in the mouth, the whole body is scattered, the eyes are inflamed, the height is eight feet, it looks like King Kong, the strength is infinite, it sleeps in the place of high heat and fire, it is not alarmed or awake, what medicinal value is unknown, what is the survival of what is eaten, and what skills are unknown......
After the stone door was closed, it was immediately quiet, Siyi gasped, and slowly collapsed on the ground, the cold sweat on his back soaked this set of torn clothes, staring at his toes, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Think about it, if you go out and tell others that you have seen this thing, can anyone believe it?"
Suddenly I remembered that I was in the middle of two poles, and I was shocked, how could I be so relaxed? I didn't observe the surrounding situation? Quickly a carp straightened up, jumped up, and looked around.
"Plop" sound. The package in his hand fell to the ground, Siyi walked a few stupidly steps forward with blank eyes, and then fell to his knees with tears in his eyes, and there was only one thought in his heart: "I, I can finally live like a person." ”
A deep blue silence filled the sky and the earth, there was an indescribable silence in the air, but it was very quiet, but it was different from the silence on the barren grassland, the tranquility here made people much more comfortable, the sky was blue-black, and the roar could no longer be heard, there were blue weeds everywhere, and a narrow stream ran through the earth, and in the grass in the distance, there were flickering spots, like fireflies in the mortal world.
Siyi dragged the burden to the water's edge, looked at the quiet stream, in addition to being excited, he did not relax his vigilance, touched it with a branch, no problem, nodded with his little finger, there was no danger, a little bit of it was sniffed with the tip of his nose, fresh, tasted it with the tip of his tongue, sweet, sweet......
It seems to be safe, Siyi hurriedly picked up the stream water with his hand, poured it down, the sweet stream water passed through the intestines, flowed into the lungs, how many days, I haven't drunk normal spring water, drinking blood and eating meat every day, I am speechless, and I am only lonely in my heart......
Raising his head, he inadvertently looked into the distance, and under a quiet dark blue, it seemed that he saw a hill with something on it......
