Combining the words on the other two cave entrances, I thought of some subtle connections between them, just like the past, present and future. At that time, there was no Buddhist theory of three lives and three worlds. I think they should represent the three stages of life.
Or they are three different states imagined by people. For example, the past life represents sin and suffering, this life represents possessions, and the past life represents the beauty that one yearns for.
In the limited time, I couldn't think deeply about their specific meanings. After thinking about it, I got into the hole engraved with "past life". If my guess is right, and there represents the beauty that people yearn for, there are
All good things and secrets should be hidden there.
The cave was not long, and it ended in a few seconds. Then I fell to the ground as hard as the old man did. I quickly endured the pain and got up, not because I was afraid of danger, because in my
There was a heavyweight following behind.
Sure enough, as soon as I jumped to the side with my front foot, a big round ball fell down with a muffled bang, which made me jump with fear. If I were hit by him, my old waist would probably be crushed.
The fat man groaned and sat up from the ground. This guy was quite unlucky. Just as he sat up, another person fell down from above. It was the old cripple, and it happened to hit him. The two of them fell far away like gourds rolling on the ground.
.
"Damn it, old guy, get up quickly. It hurts me to death. If you don't get up, I will break your other leg. Come on, my balls."
, Mother, it hurts me so much."
I almost didn't laugh out loud. Although Fatty sometimes speaks rudely, he wouldn't have said such ugly things if it wasn't for the severe pain. I didn't have time to worry about them, so I focused on the things around me.
Environmentally.
After a quick glance, I was shocked by the scene in front of me. In front of me was a yellow river more than ten meters wide. The water flow was very slow. There was a stone road no more than two meters wide across both sides. In the river, there were two
Huge monsters with different shapes, always like a toad, and the other one is a giant snake. They are all carved from stone, each one is several meters above the water surface and the stone path, facing each other, glaring at each other.
With.
Both monsters opened their huge mouths, and both the toad and the snake stretched out their long tongues, and each tongue had a person wrapped around it, seeming to be devouring human life. The most peculiar thing is that their eyes are both
Burning flames, blue and green, add a bit of ferocious color to them.
I looked carefully and found that it was not their eyes that were burning. It turned out that their eyes were made of bronze, with several small holes in the middle, and the flames spurted out from those small holes.
What shocked me was those flames. How could they burn for so long? It’s simply unimaginable. I remember it was recorded in the history books that when Qin Shihuang died, he used the oil of the mermaid in the East China Sea as fuel to keep the light going.
Thousands of years, and this is still an exaggeration. No one believes that the light of the mermaid oil can last for thousands of years. But the layout you can see in front of you has a history of more than a thousand years. What is its fuel? Why is it inexhaustible?
Is it hidden in these two statues? It's impossible even if you think about it. Although these two statues are huge, they can't sustain them for such a long time even if they are filled with fuel.
I looked at the water, could it be that the fuel is these yellow river water? I can't believe this speculation, how can water burn. However, only the water in this river can be inexhaustible. If this river water has
To add to this, let alone thousands of years, it is possible even tens of thousands of years.
I couldn't figure it out, so I put down the question because I suddenly remembered something. The scene I saw in front of me was completely different from what the old man described, so I guessed that the way we came in now was not the same as the way the old man came in at the beginning.
I hurriedly ran to the place where we fell just now. The water surface formed a mirror on the stone wall. I touched it. It was as smooth as a mirror, but very hard, as if the stone wall had been polished into a piece. But we were obviously
Anything that falls from it is filled with water. Even if it doesn't flow down, it should still be soft!
"Wow, what is this? A toad doesn't look like a toad, and a snake doesn't look like a snake. Could it be that this thing is the legendary monster that guards the gates of hell?" The fat man said with admiration on his face. Although he had already stood up, one hand was still there.
He covered the important parts below and pumped out air from time to time. It seemed that the old lame man was hit hard when he fell down just now.
At this time, everyone else fell down from the hole one by one, looking at the scene in front with admiration. There were a total of twelve of us here this time, except for me, Shuiyue, Fatty, Ban Cuntou and the old cripple.
, and there are seven people, these are all brought by Shuiyue, they look very young, not even my age. Shuiyue said, these people were originally orphans without fathers and mothers, and were adopted and trained by her grandmother.
It is part of their most loyal and elite strength.
These people have no names. In order to distinguish them, they are given a number. However, these seven people are from numbers 4 to 10, but numbers 1 to 3 are not among them.
"Little prince, what are you doing?" The fat man came over with his legs stretched out, as if he had been castrated. At this time, Shuiyue and Ban Cuntou also came over. Seeing my serious expression, they both looked at me in confusion.
Hold me.
"This hole can only be entered but not exited," I said.
"Isn't it possible?" The fat man went up and touched it in disbelief, and then screamed: "How is it possible? The water inside is obviously water, why does it feel as smooth and hard as a mirror to the touch?"
"Who knows what's going on? It's more than that. The most important thing is that this is not the road my grandpa came in." I saw their shock, and then explained: "My grandpa won't lie to me. This seems to be the same as here."
Things were different a few decades ago, so his description can no longer provide us with much help. In other words, the road we are going to take next is completely unfamiliar and unknown."
"So, we are in the wrong place?"
"Maybe, in fact, there was a deviation from the beginning. I don't know how this place was formed, let alone who built it. It seems to be able to change over time. But we can't go back now.
We can only go down this road. However, this does not mean that the road we are taking is wrong, because no one has ever fully understood it."
