bsp;Su Peng, Yang Xi and Fu Ziyi embarked on the ladder of asking for causes and results.
After the three of them stepped onto the cause-and-effect ladder, they didn’t feel anything special. They felt that this ladder was just like the martial arts ladder in Wugong Mountain. Except that it was a little wider, there seemed to be nothing unusual about it.
Su Peng was a little confused. Could it be that the ladder of asking causes and seeking results is that simple, but is it just a little longer?
You know, Wugong Mountain, which is three to four thousand meters high, only has more than 10,000 steps to go up. Although the Cause and Effect Ladder seems to be built around Shizhu Mountain, even though Shizhu Peak is so tall Ruiyun is probably about seven or eight thousand meters high. Calculated, there may be thirty or forty thousand steps. With the physical fitness of Su Peng, Yang Xi and Fu Ziyi, even if they climb slower, it will take seven or eight hours, which is about the same. Can go up.
But, is this level really that difficult?
Su Peng thought for a while and felt that it would not be that simple, but for the time being he could not see what was so strange about this test, so Su Peng would not think about it for the time being, and would just find out when the time comes. .
So Su Peng took the lead and walked up the ladder to the cause and effect.
This ladder of cause and effect, each step is more than hundreds of meters wide, which is extremely spacious. Even if hundreds of people walk side by side, there is room. Su Peng is really curious, who is this ladder? To build such a large project, even if it employs 10,000 laborers, it will probably take ten years to complete such a large project. What’s more, this Shizhu Mountain is extremely steep, almost from beginning to end. Cylindrical shape, how easy is it to dig a mountain road?
But that’s it, the ladder of asking causes and seeking results is still right in front of you, and I don’t know what kind of power it is that created this ladder.
Su Peng collected himself and walked up step by step with determination.
That’s it. He kept climbing up, but when Su Peng climbed nearly a hundred steps, he gradually discovered that there was something unusual here.
After Su Peng climbed more than a hundred steps, his surroundings were filled with white mist again. This white mist, like where the guardian was, blocked people’s sight. Su Peng no longer felt Yang Xi and Fu Ziyi were no longer around.
Su Peng felt that something was wrong. Yang Xi and Fu Ziyi had been following him just now. The ladder of asking causes and seeking results is also in a straight line with Su Peng. Theoretically, Su Peng only needs to stand down and stop climbing for a few seconds, and Yang Xi and Fu Ziyi behind will catch up and meet Su Peng.
However, Su Peng stopped at the Cause and Effect Stairway and waited for almost ten minutes, but did not find anyone coming up from behind him, as if this wide white marble staircase. It’s like I’m climbing alone.
Su Peng was very surprised. He intuitively felt that the ladder of asking cause and effect was not that simple.
He stood on the stone stairs and looked behind. But I found that the thick fog here was very strange.
Looking up, Su Peng could only see two or three steps on the stone staircase where he was, but looking back, he could see thirty or forty steps going down the mountain. The visibility in the fog is completely different.
“Huh? Is this what the senior guardian warned me, ‘If you take a step further, you will be exhausted. If you take a step back, the sky will be brighter’?” Su Peng thought in his mind as he looked at the inconsistent vision before and after.
Obviously, it seems very difficult to move forward, but it is very simple to retreat. Perhaps this is what the senior guardian wants to tell himself.
However, Su Peng also knew in his heart that if he retreated, he might quickly retreat to the foot of the Holy Mountain. In that case, his climb to the Holy Mountain this time would be considered a failure.
“If you take a step back, you will have a brighter future, but you will not be able to achieve your goal. Even if you have a brighter future, you will still be a loser. If you take a step forward, you will be exhausted, but after all the obstacles are exhausted, you will still be a loser. There is also the saying that there is a bright future in every village. This is just like life. Although the road ahead is confusing and full of unknowns, you still have to walk in order to see a broader sky. Otherwise, you can only guard the “broad sea and sky”, but in fact it is not. It’s a world where mountains and rivers are overturned, and the rest of life is boring.”
Su Peng thought in his mind. When he thought of this, his mind suddenly became clear. He understood that this test was a test of his own character.
So Su Peng took a deep breath, then took steps and continued to climb to the top of the holy mountain!
Just when Su Peng decided to move forward, the fog around him became thick again, and even the space behind him was covered by thick fog, but Su Peng never looked back!
Su Peng walked upwards resolutely, moving slowly but firmly to the top of the holy mountain.
Gradually, he discovered some abnormalities.
“There seems to be something in this thick fog!” Su Peng was a little wary, because he felt that there seemed to be some dark shadows in the thick fog on the ladder of questioning cause and effect. of movement.
The speed of those black shadows does not seem to be fast, but it makes people feel a gloomy feeling and makes people feel chilled all over. This is definitely not a safe thing!
Su Peng also increased his vigilance. He pulled out the killing knife from his back and looked around vigilantly, ready to take action at any time.
Su Peng continued to move forward, but the figures in the thick fog gradually became clear one by one.
Soon, in the thick fog, the first clear figure appeared clearly in front of Su Peng.
“…How could it be…that it’s you?” When Su Peng saw the first figure appearing in front of him, he couldn’t help but stopped in surprise and looked at this person.
I saw that the person in front of me was constantly vomiting black blood from his mouth, and his limbs were weirdly twisted, as if broken, but unexpectedly he stood in front of Su Peng like a puppet on strings.
He is Xiao Lin!
Of course Su Peng will not admit his mistake. He is Xiao Lin. The Xiao Lin whom Su Peng once met at a job was also the Xiao Lin who died mysteriously and tragically in front of Su Peng. It was the Xiao Lin who guided the people because of his mysterious tragic death. Su Peng came into contact with the Death Reincarnation Game, and that Xiao Lin entered the company!
At this time, it was Xiao Lin who was standing on the steps in front of Su Peng, looking at Su Peng with blood-red eyes!
“You lied to me!”
A shrill voice screamed out from Xiao Lin’s mouth!
I saw this Xiao Lin, like an evil ghost crawling out of hell, staring at Su Peng with his blood-red eyes, and said to Su Peng: “Su Peng! You lied to me! Didn’t you think about it? Do you want to investigate the cause of my death and avenge me? Why, why have you forgotten everything? But you are really using me! I know everything about you, you are lying. Me!”
Su Peng looked at Xiao Lin in front of him and frowned, because from any angle, this Xiao Lin was not an illusion, but a real person who existed in front of him, or… a real person. The evil ghost actually exists in front of me!
“I can’t even lie to you!”
Although he knew that the Xiao Lin in front of him might be an illusion, Su Peng couldn’t help but said to him: “My position has never changed, and I have never told you my true purpose, but I can’t lie to you, because I do that kind of work myself. Of course, outside of my work position, I still treat you as your friend. It is precisely because you died in front of me that I went to investigate which company… It’s just a pity that what happened later was beyond my expectation… To this day, I can only say that I am in the world and I can’t help myself. It was the fate of life that pushed me to this place. But if I ask myself, I don’t feel sorry for you. , don’t come to me to ask for your life.”
“Hehehehehe…” After hearing Su Peng’s words, Xiao Lin, who was like a devil, suddenly let out a sad laugh. He said to Su Peng: “What a clear conscience! But you still deceived me, in vain. I treat you as a friend… I hate you! Why didn’t you cheat on me? You said you have a clear conscience… OK, I’ll dig out your heart today. Is your heart black? ”
As he said that, Xiao Lin, who looked like a demon, pounced on him. His nails suddenly grew longer, like ghost claws, and pounced directly on Su Peng’s heart.
When Su Peng saw this, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He suddenly swung the killing knife in his hand. The extremely sharp killing knife passed directly over Xiao Lin’s body. Suddenly, Xiao Lin’s head looked like a ghost. The shoulders and shoulders were cut off!
Xiao Lin screamed, his head and shoulders flew up, falling into the thick fog behind Su Peng, but his body fell on the stone steps in front of Su Peng.
“I’m sorry…” Su Peng said silently in his heart. Although he was a little unhappy, he felt no guilt.
It’s just that when he killed the evil ghost Xiao Lin just now, he felt that this Xiao Lin was not an illusion, because the feeling of the killing knife cutting into the human body, as well as Xiao Lin’s screams and hot blood, were all It’s very textured, not like an illusion.
After killing Xiao Lin, who was like a ghost, Su Peng squatted down and touched the body of Xiao Lin that fell in front of him. He found that the body was completely real, not a phantom, or even a phantom. If you touch the blood, it still feels sticky.
Su Peng rubbed Xiao Lin’s blood stained on his hands with both hands, frowned and smelled it in front of his nose. It really smelled like human blood. Su Peng couldn’t help but frown.
“This place is so weird… Xiao Lin didn’t die in this world, so how could he appear here? And all of this seems to be real?”
It’s not like Su Peng didn’t have similar experience. He frowned and thought for a while, and thought in his mind: “Could there be Senior Zixia Mountain Stone here, or the ability of Dream Tapir? Am I in a dream, or in an illusion?” ”
But for some reason, Su Peng always felt that this place didn’t feel like a fantasy.
“Forget it, it’s useless to think too much. I’ll walk all the way up and see what else happens!” Su Peng stood up and continued walking up.
He only took a dozen steps, and saw more than a dozen shadows appearing in the thick fog ahead… (To be continued…)
