Chapter 80 Chapter 34: Gate of Life and Death

I am completely confused by such a technical term, and I don't understand it at all.Looking at Lao Li in confusion, he said, "I didn't see it." Lao Li looked at me helplessly, thought for a while, and then suddenly realized: "Oh—so you young people don't understand this!" He said it like an old man himself. I also smiled helplessly, "I don't understand." Lao Li scratched his head in some embarrassment, and said: "How should I tell you. In this way... you always know. The three mountains in the East belong to Jiamaoyi, and the gossip belongs to Zhen and Li." More professional, I I don't understand at all.

"Don't worry...you see..." Lao Li said in a very good temper, "it doesn't matter if you don't understand, but look, look at the compass, didn't I just tell you that Jiayimao should belong to the east? Look at the compass... ..." He pointed to the position of the three characters A, B and Mao on the compass, and said, "Didn't you realize that this direction is not the east?" Only then did I see the clue, and sure enough, the three characters Jia, Yi and Mao stayed in the position marking the due west.However, although this point has been understood, what is wrong with it is still confused.

Lao Li continued: "Master Luo, you are a very smart person, why can't you see this. Look at the place where the east is marked on the compass." He pointed to the compass and asked me to look, "It's right here in the east , is it the three characters Gengyouxin, and the eight trigrams are the two characters Dui and Kan?" After speaking, he raised his head and looked at me expectantly, hoping that I would understand immediately. Now I understand, that is to say, the directions of east and west are completely reversed, so in this hole, maybe everything is reversed.So he quickly told Lao Li about this idea.

Lao Li hesitated for a while, and said: "Yes, you can say that, but it's not right... It's not that everything is reversed. Rather, most of what you see should be hallucinations. The heavenly stems, earthly branches, and gossip are all messed up here. In turn, it will affect all the people here, causing their thinking to become disordered, and then hallucinations will appear." It turned out to be the case.I finally understood that everything was an illusion.In this way, presumably Zhuoma Yangjin should not have seen such a miserable situation.The unstoppable grief immediately subsided a lot.

"Don't underestimate this kind of illusion, it can kill people invisible." Lao Li told me solemnly, "If you cannot extricate yourself from grief and despair, then it will show what you are most afraid of. Start with your heart. Destroy you from above, and then scare people to death." I nodded, expressing my understanding.Lao Li still told me worriedly, "Master Luo, you are impatient and emotionally fluctuating, and you are the most easily affected. I am a little worried about you." I couldn't help feeling a little ashamed. People in their mid-twenties just don't know how to control their emotions. On the contrary, it's Lao Li, who is not a few years older than me, but he is very calm and sophisticated in his actions.

Unexpectedly, with such a thought, Lao Li disappeared immediately in front of him, and he was replaced by himself. For some reason, being pointed at by people in the public seemed to say that I am a big man. flooded my mind. It's an illusion!Quickly reminded myself: "Illusion!" Fortunately, I woke up quickly, the illusion disappeared immediately, and Lao Li reappeared in front of me.Even so, I was still in a cold sweat, not expecting this place to influence people so quickly. Lao Li should have noticed that I was about to go crazy, and asked with concern: "Master Luo, are you okay?"

"It's okay." I wiped the cold sweat off my face without a trace, and said repeatedly, "It's okay, it's okay." Lao Li said sincerely: "Master Luo, here, you must completely trust me, and you must treat yourself as an idiot who doesn't know anything and can't think about anything——I really don't trust you, you don't want to worry about it." There are too many things, this is a big taboo." I looked at Lao Li, his eyes were full of sincerity and concern.However, there is still a question. Only after asking can I feel completely at ease and follow him without thinking about anything. "How do you know so much? How did you get rid of the illusion?" I said.

Lao Li smiled, with no trace of conceit, "I am an authentic descendant of Maoshan, and I have no distracting thoughts. Naturally, evil things are not allowed to come close to me - this is what the master told me on the first day I entered the door. When I fell down just now, I immediately Feeling something was wrong, I hurriedly restrained my mind and meditated with my eyes, nose, nose, and heart. Then I heard your voice faintly, but it was dim everywhere. I wanted to take out the Luo Ding direction to find you, but I didn’t know the compass on the compass. The orientation is all messed up. I immediately understood what was going on. Don’t ask why you understood. I said that I am a Taoist disciple and understand many things that you don’t know. Hehe, Master Luo, I actually heard you The voice is also my own hallucination, I have traveled a long way to find you here. Because you are so far away from me, it is impossible to hear your voice."

After hearing what he said, I was completely relieved, forced myself not to think about anything, and followed Lao Li at ease, believing that he could find a way out and take me out. "Master Luo, there is some good news." Lao Li said with a smile, "It is precisely because the orientation here is completely reversed, we originally fell from the gate of life. If the orientation is not messed up, there is no way out of the gate of life. Not to mention the door. But here, the door of life is the door of death. That is to say, there is still a door of life in the cave for us to go out."

I don't understand Lao Li's mouthful of life and death, but I understand his ultimate meaning, that is, we have a way out. "That's best, let's go find it quickly." I hurriedly stood up and said. Lao Li also stood up, and he said: "Finding the door of life is my business. You must remember my words and have no distractions, otherwise—" He didn't say anything later, and I understood it, so I really only focused on myself. Be a fool and idiot, stop thinking about anything, just follow Lao Li. Lao Li strode ahead, almost bumping into rocks several times, but he didn't dodge, and followed suit.It must have been an illusion, so I followed him through the rocks without hesitation.

As I walked, slowly, my mind became clearer and clearer.Never saw any strange things again, including not even rocks.It seems that I am not a person with a lot of demons, so I couldn't help but secretly praised myself, but I didn't know that the joy was not over, and the illusion appeared again. I actually saw Mayatis lying on the ground with a face full of despair. I was stunned for a moment, I didn't think of him, how could his phantom appear? "Old Li, Old Li..." I hurriedly said, "Something is wrong, it seems that I have hallucinations about things I didn't think about?" Unexpectedly, Lao Li pointed to the ground calmly and said, "Did you see Mayatis?" I nodded sharply: "That's right, why did you see it?" Lao Li didn't speak, but squatted down, stretched out his hand, patted Mayatis lightly, and called his name. "It's useless." I said to Lao Li, "Illusion... At first I thought that you are all living people, and the touch and feel are the same as real people, but it's not you at all, it's just air." Lao Li raised his head, looked at me with a half-smile, and said, "Master Luo, it seems that this time it's not a hallucination...it's Mayatis." I still don't believe it: "How could it be. Didn't he set a trap for us to fall? It is necessary for him to come down by himself to check whether we are dead or not?" Lao Li shook his head: "No, it's not a trap set by him. The layout here is completely based on the Qimen gossip to set up the gate of life and death. At first glance, it is the work of a master. No matter how powerful Mayatis is, no matter how knowledgeable Sinology is, it is impossible Do this... So, you can rest assured that he is also an innocent victim, and it is real. Come... help him sit up, he is still useful, you can't just let him die like this." Lao Li helped Mayatis up while talking, and I immediately stepped forward to help. Basically, it should be similar to my waking up. Soon, Lao Li also woke up Mayatis.The first thing Mayatis said when he saw Lao Li was: "Li Zeng, why didn't you kill me?" He must have seen Lao Li kill him, and he had no ghosts in his heart. How could he have such an idea?I couldn't help but sneer twice. Lao Li didn't say much, just repeated the phantom to him.Mayatis was extremely clever, and immediately understood: "I understand what you mean, I just let it go." He said. Lao Li nodded, and then asked him if he could walk. If he could walk, we must keep going. We must find a way out as soon as possible.Mayatis patted his chest and said loudly, "It's okay, it's fine." That's good, Lao Li stopped talking, got up and led the way, and asked us to follow behind. Mayatis and I were walking side by side. He wanted to say something a few times, but when he got to his mouth, he swallowed it again.I saw it clearly, so I ignored him and just followed Lao Li. He walked for about ten minutes, but he didn't know how far he had walked and where he had arrived.Lao Li suddenly stopped and looked up at something.I quickly stepped forward and followed Lao Li's gaze. On the stone wall, there were densely packed Tibetan characters, which were made of carvings. Not sculpted by some terrible vision. "It should be something recorded." I said firmly to Lao Li, "It can be seen from the traces of brushwork. But... I can't see the specific content, and I don't know Tibetan." After speaking, I looked helpless. Lao Li also frowned and said, "This Tibetan language should be very important...but...we don't know Tibetan, what should we do?" However, something miraculous happened. Mayatis ran over, approached Lao Li and me, and volunteered, "I know Tibetan. It says..." "Wait, wait... You said you know Tibetan?" I looked up and down Mayatis, "I remember you said you were a sinologist, a geologist, when did you become a burialist? Are you home?" The skeptical attitude was expressed unabashedly. "Can't Sinologists understand Tibetan? Don't you forget what my grandfather did. If I didn't understand Tibetan, I could be sent to Tibet to continue searching for the Eye of the Earth?" Mayatis was dissatisfied with my nakedness towards him. Doubtful, said. "Okay, then tell me, what is written on it?" I said.
