Chapter 28: Cold and Windy Cavern

"You are also quite pitiful." I said that it is indeed difficult for her to commit such self-deception in order to maintain the so-called "face" and "dignity".

However, she shook her head and said, "No, I am not pitiful. I at least still have dreams. Although it is a bit illusory, I feel very happy compared to those who have lost their dreams."

She was very open-minded, which was already very rare for a girl. We walked forward while talking. Before we knew it, we had walked a few stone caves. Then I suddenly remembered, weren't we looking for Shui Yue and the others? We had been walking for a long time, but there was no trace at all. Where did they go? The stone cave here has become very wide, five or six meters high, and it seems very empty and very quiet when we walk. Except for the sound we hear, we can hear.

"Wang Buddha, where did they go? Why can't you find them?"

I shook my head, and I was also upset. I didn't know where they were going. Song Meiting said again: "Wang Fo, do you think there are really ghosts here, right?"

I shook my head again, how could I know if there were any ghosts here? At the beginning, she began to ask again: "Wang Buddha, where are we going now?"

I was really impatient. This woman was really annoying. She couldn't help but speed up her walking speed. She said anxiously at first sight: "Wang Fo, don't walk so fast, wait for me, I'm afraid!"

I was shocked. I guess her last sentence was true. It must be because of her fear in her heart that she kept talking to distract myself. I stopped and turned to look at her, but found that her arms were holding her, and her face turned a little blue. "Xiaomiko, what's wrong with you? Your face was a little wrong." I asked hurriedly.

She gritted her teeth and smiled before saying, "You, don't you feel it? It seems that it is much colder here than outside."

"Cold?" I concentrated on my mind. It was a little bit, but it was not as serious as she said.

At this time, she suddenly grabbed one of my arms, looked around carefully, and then whispered: "Wang Fo, I heard from my grandmother that ghosts are negative things, and they will look very cold wherever they are. They also like to get close to negative people, such as women. You said that there would be no ghost following us, right?"

I felt a little furious when she said something so strange. I hurriedly looked around. Except for the miserable environment, I didn’t notice anything. I thought about it for a while and couldn’t help but smile bitterly. I guess she was psychologically active. I always thought there were ghosts around her, so she became very sensitive to the environment. Some subtle changes would be infinitely magnified in her heart.

"Xiaomiko, don't be afraid. It's okay. I'm not here. We have two people, and even if a ghost comes, we can cure it."

Her face looked better after hearing this, but she refused to let go of the hand that grabbed my arm. It seemed that she was scared. Now she was in a sensitive mood. I understood her thoughts, so I let her pull me.

At this moment, I suddenly thought, why did it suddenly become cold? Is there a place for ventilation? When I think about it this way, I immediately became a little excited. In this semi-enclosed space, the temperature should be consistent. The change in temperature means that the environment has undergone a huge change. What I thought of was that for the careful and experienced Shui Yue, she would definitely discover this change. If she discovered this situation, she would definitely go back to pursue the source of this change. Maybe she is rushing there now. As long as we follow this change, we might find them.

After listening to my guess, Song Meiting seemed very happy. I understand her mood because I have also experienced it. In this environment, the large number of people is also a symbol of safety.

While we walked forward, we felt the changes in the surrounding environment and temperature. The more we walked in, the lower the temperature, and in the end, even I felt a little cold. Just as we were turning into another cave, a cold wind suddenly blew over, which made us shiver. But we were a little excited. Since there was wind, it means there was really a vent, and we were very close to there now.

We quickly accelerated and soon saw the true face of the vent. It was very different from what I imagined. This vent was not upward, it did not lead to the outside, but went directly downward.

This is a huge hole, estimated to be about fifty meters in diameter, and is round, like the huge mouth of a ferocious monster. The hole is surrounded by flat ground, and I shine it down with an electric light. The bottom is dark and deep, and the bottom is completely invisible. The cave is surrounded by stones with angular angular stones. Some protruding rocks are sharp like knives. Some rocks look like animals, but these rocks are definitely formed naturally without any trace of artificial carving.

Seeing this huge hole, a word "bottomless pit" suddenly popped up in my heart. Yes, I subconsciously thought of this word, and only this word can describe it.

"Wang Fo, look over there." Song Meiting suddenly pointed in one direction and said.

I looked at it and found that there were many statues placed on the stone walls around the hole, all of which were ugly ghost statues, surrounded by the hole as the center. Unlike what I saw before, each of these ghost statues was different in shape, either ferocious, ugly, gloomy or weird, but they had one thing in common, that is, they were all kneeling on the ground, as if they were worshiping this huge hole.

I was puzzled, what is the point? I suddenly remembered the stone tablet at the mouth of the valley and the saying of the father-in-law Liu Yingying. The stone tablet reads "Ghost Gate Pass", and Ghost Gate Pass is the road leading to the Ghost Hall. Is the so-called Ghost Hall in this hole?

"Wang Fo, what should we do? Do we want to go down?" Song Meiting looked a little embarrassed. After all, she was not a fool. She must have guessed what this place was, and she was a little hesitant.

Actually, I don’t want to go there now, because what I want to go there most is to find Shuiyue and the others. If we are in power, if we encounter any danger, it may not be easy to greet us. After thinking about it, I started looking around. If Shuiyue and the others have been here, they will definitely leave a mark if they want to leave. I understand her preferences and personality. If she wants to leave, she will not stay in a obvious place, but hide in a hidden place but can be found if she looks carefully.

I looked carefully on the ghost statues. Not to mention, I found a special place soon. The eyes of a ghost statue were gone, and it looked a little weird.

For the sake of realism, the eyes of these ghost statues were not carved, but installed after they were done outside. Now one of the eyes of the ghost in front of me has been picked down, and the traces are still left behind.

I stretched out my finger and found a note inside, but only the word "mouth" was written in a skewed manner, which was obviously left in a hurry.

I was a little confused. This didn't look like it was written by Shuiyue, but I couldn't be sure. The person who wrote this note seemed very in a hurry. He must have written it in an emergency. His handwriting was a bit distorted and he couldn't recognize who wrote it. However, in terms of his work style, it looked like Shuiyue.

But what does this "mouth" mean? Is it the hole? It means they have entered this hole? It is very likely that at least with Shuiyue's personality, she is definitely likely to do such a thing. She is a person who likes to take the initiative in everything and will not quietly wait for us to come here.

"What should I do? I must go there. Whether to go there with me or not, you can decide for yourself!" I said to Song Meiting.

She looked a little embarrassed and was silent for a while before saying, "Can't you stay? Maybe that wasn't they who stayed there, maybe they didn't go there either?"

I looked at her and there was no need to hesitate at this time, so I said to him seriously: "Xiaomiko, there may be great dangers below. Even I am not sure what to encounter or what difficulties I will encounter, but I definitely have to go there. So, you'd better think clearly whether to go with me. Maybe I don't have the ability to help you later, but there should be no dangers to stay here. You should think carefully about it yourself."

Song Meiting started looking at me with that pitiful look again, but this time I would not be soft-hearted anymore, so I turned my head elsewhere and stopped looking at her. I also hope that the hall could recognize the reality.

But unexpectedly, she finally asked to go with me. After thinking about it, I realized that waiting alone in silence is a very tormenting thing. If it were me, I would rather face something that I don’t want to face, than stay alone in the darkness. It is really easy for people to collapse.

I didn't persuade her anymore. I had already told her all the benefits. Since she decided that I should respect her, I still felt a little more relaxed in my heart. If she stayed here, she would not feel comfortable, but I would definitely not feel relaxed. I had long had enough of the feeling of being aimless in the dark.

There was nothing to prepare, so we climbed down the cave. The cave was full of protruding stones, cracks of stones, and crisscrossing stone pillars. It was not too difficult to get up. But some places should be paid special attention, such as some stones as sharp as knives and sharp places, which could easily hurt people and require keeping the gods at all times.
