Chapter 70 Wang Yuantong's Secret
Li Daming looked at Chen Jian lying on the ground and said helplessly, "You have quite a strong hand."
Wang Yuantong chuckled: "Captain, are you from Beijing?"
"Confidentiality clause." Li Daming said unhappily. He added, "Since you knocked him unconscious, you should be responsible for taking care of him."
Although Wang Yuantong looks thin, he is quite strong. He carries Chen Jian on his back. To prevent them from falling, Li Daming helps to secure them with a climbing rope.
Chen Jian was like a calf, but Wang Yuantong carried him as if he was nothing. Li Daming looked him up and down, and said, "You are quite capable."
Wang Yuantong smiled and said, "In our original exploration team, my position was like that of Monk Sha, who was responsible for carrying the load. My energy was honed through work."
As they walked on, they felt that the space of the cave gradually became smaller. At first it was as big as an airport, then it was a large truck garage, and now it was as tall as an ordinary house.
Li Daming shone the flashlight upwards and jumped hard. The light spot shone on the cave wall above, which was about two or three meters high, the height of a one-story house.
"Captain, look." Wang Yuantong lit up the front.
In front of us, we could vaguely see a huge cotton curtain, dark green and looking particularly thick, hanging high on the cave wall, and there seemed to be a door hidden behind it.
Li Daming and Wang Yuantong looked at each other. This was very strange. This cave was formed naturally and few people had ever been in it. How could there be such a cotton door curtain?
Was it the two groups of people in front who hung it up?
It's even more impossible. This door curtain must weigh at least dozens of kilograms, and its area is so large that it is impossible to roll it up and carry it. If they have this thing, no one can ignore it.
Then there is only one explanation, that is, someone hung this cotton door curtain a long time ago.
Li Daming slowly walked to the door curtain and lifted it with his hand. The curtain was thick and heavy, and he finally lifted a corner. I leaned over to take a look. The curtain was actually two layers. After lifting one layer, there was another thick dark green curtain behind it.
Li Daming flashed into the middle of two layers of curtains. I was watching from behind and saw a human figure bulging out in the middle of the cotton curtains. It was Li Daming inside.
Somehow, this human figure appeared in the darkness, which was a bit creepy and weird.
The figure gradually disappeared, it should be Li Daming who entered behind .
Wang Yuantong was the only one left here. He untied the rope around his waist and put Chen Jian down. I found it strange. It seemed more convenient to lift the curtain with Chen Jian on his back. Why did he put him down?
I couldn't influence him and could only stand by and watch quietly.
Wang Yuantong didn't know I was here, so he did something extremely strange. After laying Chen Jian horizontally on the ground, he sat cross-legged on the ground, folded his hands into a lotus shape under his navel, closed his eyes and began to chant. He looked like a bald monk.
I found it very strange and couldn't say anything, so I could only observe silently.
Wang Yuantong's body gradually dimmed, and in about half a cigarette's time, he disappeared from my sight! The whole person disappeared without a trace.
I opened my mouth wide, stunned, when the curtain was lifted again and Li Daming walked out. He was panting and suddenly realized something was wrong. He shone his flashlight and saw Chen Jian lying unconscious on the ground. He looked around again, but there was no sign of Wang Yuantong.
Li Daming shouted several times: "Wang Yuantong, Wang Yuantong!"
No one answered.
I said beside him, "Damin, I'm here."
"What's going on?" Li Daming frowned.
I told him what happened just now. Li Daming was shocked, "Where is Wang Yuantong?"
"According to my judgment, he should have gone out," I said.
Li Daming responded quickly: "You mean he left the bardo?"
“I don’t know why.” I said, “I always feel that Wang Yuantong doesn’t seem to be from this world. He seems to be from our real world, and he should have gone back now.”
Li Daming put his hands behind his back and turned around twice on the ground: "There is something that doesn't make sense here."
"how?"
"In our world, there are many wizards with superb magical skills who can walk through the underworld and enter the bardo realm. It's not a rare thing. But this bardo realm only belongs to Chen Jian and is a specific level of purgatory. How did Wang Yuantong get in?" Li Daming analyzed.
I shook my head subconsciously: "There are many experts, it may be another Yinchai. Every Yinchai has his own unique method, it's not surprising. What should we do next?"
"Well." Li Daming said: "Since Wang Yuantong is an unpredictable force, let's go. We will complete the rest of the work ourselves." He bent down and hugged Chen Jian.
At this time, Chen Jian's eyelids moved, he groaned in pain, slowly opened his eyes, and murmured, "I want to wake up, let me wake up from this dream."
Li Daming and I looked at each other subconsciously. He squatted beside Chen Jian, picked up the kettle and poured water on Chen Jian's face.
Chen Jian shuddered, sat up, and stared at Li Daming.
Li Daming said nothing and looked back at him.
Chen Jian gasped for breath: "Brother Damin?! I, am I in a dream or in reality now?"
Li Daming did not deny it outright, but instead asked why he asked.
Chen Jian's throat moved up and down. "I just had a dream. It was so real. I dreamed that I grew up, got married, had children, and had a daughter. Our family was very happy. Then one day, I suddenly had a heart attack and felt like I was going to die suddenly... Then, I woke up."
My hair stood on end when I heard this. Chen Jian's dream was his real life . But now, he thought that the reality here was actually the bardo after death.
Li Daming didn't say anything for a long time, his face was a little pale. Like me, his worldview was greatly impacted.
I feel more and more that in this bardo state, we seem to have mastered some rules, but we are still ignorant, like a child using an astronomical telescope and barely seeing the moon, and then thinking he has mastered the universe, but in fact he has not even observed the sun.
The worldview of this world is grand and strange, evil and profound, like a huge black hole, swallowing up our cognition.
Li Daming swallowed his saliva and patted Chen Jian on the shoulder: "You just fainted and had a nightmare. Don't think too much. Let's continue on our way."
Chen Jiancai realized something was wrong. "Where's Brother Wang? Where's Wang Yuantong?"
Li Daming was about to say something when he heard a chuckle from the darkness: "I'm coming, I'm coming, I just went to pee." Wang Yuantong walked out of the darkness.
Li Daming was extremely surprised, but his expression only flashed for a moment before he frowned: "You left the child here and ran away?"
Wang Yuantong laughed: "Captain, don't be so serious. People have urgent needs. I can't control it when I have to pee."
Li Daming remained calm, criticized him a few times, and said nothing more, "Let's all go over there."
Wang Yuantong was in charge of looking after Chen Jian, while Li Daming came to the curtain first and lifted it. I immediately understood that he was leaving space for me. I had no form here, and could not affect the matter here, so I could not lift the door curtain. Li Daming was really considerate.
I clung to Li Daming, pressed tightly against him, and he couldn't even notice me.
After opening the curtain, we went to the back, and as soon as we got in, even I could feel a dampness.
Wang Yuantong hadn't come over yet. Li Daming shone a flashlight on the green cotton curtain and said, "Old Lin, look at the curtain. No wonder it's so thick and heavy. It must be soaked with water."
"This place is so damp that even I can feel it," I said.
At this time, deep in the cave, far away, there was a faint sound of flowing water.
"Do you think there is really a dragon at the end of this level?" I asked.
Li Daming smiled bitterly and said, "How would I know? This damn place is beyond my imagination."
At this time, Wang Yuantong and Chen Jian also passed through the curtain. Wang Yuantong touched his bald head and said, "Oh my god, this place is like a sauna ."
Li Daming turned around and looked at him: "What is a sauna?"
Wang Yuantong laughed: "I read it in a pamphlet. It said that there is a way of bathing in Turkey called sauna. I don't know the details. It's mysterious."
The flashlight couldn't reach very far, less than one meter. It seemed like there were thick walls on all sides, blocking the light.
Li Daming took out a cold flame stick from his backpack. After turning it on, a bright green light came out, illuminating his entire face with a dark green color.
But you know what, cold flame rods are much more useful than flashlights here.
He raised the stick, and I could just barely see that in front of me was a huge cave. I didn't know how high it was, but it was much wider than the space outside the curtain. A deep passage led to the deepest part of the cave.
From time to time there was the sound of flowing water.
Wang Yuantong came over, licked his lips and said, "Captain, are you sure there is a dragon?"
