Nothing happened that night, and Pang Wei never came down again. The cave inside the Karez was very cool, quiet and pleasant.
Chen Zhi had a rare sleep. He didn't worry about any danger, because he knew that Ghost Sword would always be waiting here.
However, when I woke up the next morning, things had changed!
Fat Wei, who asked Chen Zhi strange questions last night, didn't want to continue walking.
He just sat on the edge of the cave, his eyes cold and motionless, and Guidao didn't reply when he called him.
When Chen Zhi went over to ask him, he just replied:
"You'll be back sooner or later, so why go to all this trouble? Just stay here..."
Chen Zhi did not urge him to walk. Instead, he and Guidao explored the underground layers of the cave. Unexpectedly, the structure of the cave was very amazing.
First of all, this underground cave is so deep that you can’t even see the bottom. The internal structure is very complicated, with many extensions horizontally and vertically!
If you want to describe it, it is a bit like the structure of an ant nest. And the most important thing is that the area of each layer of this underground cave is different.
As they went down, the cave got bigger and more vast. They probably went down seven or eight floors, and the top was no longer visible. The cave here was so big that it was scary. Some strange scattered bones could be seen around, and the shapes of the bones were all different.
Very big.
When we arrived here, the smell of wild beasts became even stronger, and there was even the smell of wild beast urine, which stung one's nose.
It seems that a huge number of beasts once lived in this cave. They were amazingly large and very slow.
"It should be quite deep down here..." Ghost Sword stepped on the ground and said to Chen Zhi:
"This cave gets deeper and deeper as you go down, with each layer getting bigger and bigger. It is estimated that if you go further down, it will turn into an abyss!
There should be social creatures here that we cannot imagine.
We saw some bones on the way. The bones were in the shape of large beasts, and they should be food for the people living in groups here.
If these caves were once inhabited by wild animals, the accommodation should be allocated according to the size of these caves.
It is estimated that the beasts at the bottom will be astonishingly big, but now, these beasts are no longer there!"
"He wants to keep us here..." Chen Zhi said softly, and then looked in the direction of the ground.
"Let's go!
Look what he wants to do..."
When the two of them returned to the ground again, they found that Fat Wei had stood up. He did not move around, but squatted in front of Danxuan, with his arms hanging in front of him, like a monkey.
Danxuan's eyes were full of confusion.
Danxuan, however, was very calm when facing Fat Wei's close face. He was twisting the beads in his hands and his lips were touching, as if he was talking about something.
"Let's go!" Chen Zhi walked up to them and said to the fat man,
"Walk earlier to save yourself the trouble! It's getting late!"
But this time, the fat man did not struggle much. He stood up, scratched his neck, and then walked forward with the team...
The sand in the desert was still extremely hot and could scald people at any time. The scorching sun still shone above them like a fireball, and the air began to deform due to the high temperature.
But this time, Fat Wei kept walking beside Danxuan and seemed to be very interested in him.
"You just told me that what the eyes can see is not real power, and you asked me not to be confused. What do you mean?",
Fat Wei's tone was very weird, it felt like an animal had its throat strangled, it was very sharp.
But Danxuan still had the same expression,
"Everything you can see is tangible...
And tangible things are often fake! So don’t be fooled!
Buddhism says that the four elements are empty, that is, everything we see in front of us is actually an appearance, so we don’t need to be too attached..." Danxuan twisted the beads in his hand and said in a calm voice,
"Some people try their best to gain power! But what happens after defeating everyone?
In the end, I realized that the real power is not to defeat others, but to defeat yourself!
In the same way, if you can't forgive others, others can't forgive you!"
Fat Wei kept tilting his head to listen to Danxuan's words, his eyes slowly moved, as if he was thinking,
"Is this what they call mercy, forgiveness?
I still don't understand what you mean. If I am stronger than you and I can kill you, why do I need your forgiveness?
Similarly, if I am hungry and I want to kill you, drink your blood, eat your flesh, and make you miserable, will you forgive me?"
"certainly!",
Danxuan twisted the beads and continued:
"No one is innocent, one person is guilty, and everyone in the world is guilty. We are one with this world, and your sins are also my sins!
You ask me if I will forgive you. It is better to say that I will not blame you from the beginning...",
"
"nonsense……",
Fat Wei seemed to be very dissatisfied with Danxuan's answer, and stopped asking questions after that.
"Nonsense..., nonsense..."
During the entire journey that followed, under the scorching sun, Fat Wei was like a sick schizophrenic, repeating this sentence silently over and over again, no longer looking at anyone or the road.
After they continued walking for a day, they saw that the sky was gradually getting dark.
At this time, I suddenly saw an arched earth bag on the ground in front of me, which looked like the dome of a cave.
The scene in front of him was very familiar to Chen Zhi. It was the karez they had just set out from in the morning!
"Back again..." Guidao looked back at Chen Zhi,
“This is a ghost-beating-the-wall type of barrier technique!
Can you handle it?"
"Well..." Chen Zhi nodded lightly, took two steps back, and looked at Fat Wei.
I saw Fat Wei still with a livid face, his eyebrows furrowed, his eyes not looking at anyone, and silently reciting those two words in his mouth,
"Nonsense, nonsense..."
"Why, haven't you understood what the master said?" Chen Zhi suddenly shouted sharply at Fat Wei,
"If you can't understand it, don't force it, let us teach you!
How about it? It's fun to become my friend, right? But acting is tiring. After acting for such a long time, don't you feel tired?
It’s better to reveal your true body! Let us see what the real you looks like...",
He tilted his head and thought for a while, and then suddenly laughed out loud. The laughter was sharp and harsh, making people covered with goosebumps. Then he slowly raised his face,
But this time, his face had completely changed, and his eyes glowed green, as fierce as a beast.
And his teeth also became sharper, and yellow velvet hair gradually grew on his neck and between his cheeks...
