But I never expected that when the passage reached the end, what we saw was a familiar scene. The yellow river, the huge statues of toads and poisonous snakes above, and the narrow stone path.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't understand why they made such a place again, but we didn't think much about it and walked carefully across the stone path. Sure enough, two stone gates appeared opposite each other, one for the birth gate and the other for the death gate, exactly the same as what we saw at the beginning.

Not only me, I felt something was wrong. Without any hesitation, we pushed open the door of life and walked in. As a result, it was still a long passage, exactly the same as the one we had just passed, just as if we had never walked through this passage.

At the fastest speed, we passed through the passage, but the result was the scene, without any change.

"Little Prince, it seems that something happened. You said we shouldn't be entangled by ghosts, right?" The fat man looked at me, his eyes kept rolling, not knowing what he was thinking.

I thought for a moment, turned to look at the old lame man. "Lao Yan, what do you think?"

The old lame man turned around and his expression was a little solemn. He said, "I don't know yet. I don't think so early to draw the conclusion. Let's try to see if I can go out."

Then we walked forward twice, and the results were the same. We didn't give up and walked back. After walking for a long time, there was still no result. Apart from that passage, it was this familiar place.

"It seems we are trapped here." The old lame man finally determined our situation. I asked him if he knew what was going on, but he shook his head. Judging from our walking, we didn't encounter anything special. We were very calm all the way, so he couldn't guess what was going on.

"Oh, I understand, it turns out that this is what the so-called life gate is." The old lame man said suddenly.

I asked him what he thought of, and he pointed to the stone gate with the word "生" inscribed and said, "What is life? It is cycle. As always, life here does not refer to life, but to life that never ends. Isn't this the situation we are facing now?"

It makes sense. The life and death gate appears here, of course it is impossible to be as simple as death and survival. His explanation is very insightful. "How did this situation come about?"

"Can it be a ghost?" the fat man suddenly said. Whenever this guy encounters this situation, the first thing he thinks of is a ghost, but judging from the current situation, it is not impossible.

"I'm not sure, why not do this. Since we can't understand the life gate, then go to the death gate and see what might happen!" the old lame man suggested.

We all agreed and opened the dead door immediately. The best passage inside was also the best, but we walked in without hesitation. But we didn't expect the final result to be the same. After the passage ended, we returned to the familiar place.

"We probably chose the wrong choice from the beginning. It's hard to turn back if we take the wrong step." The old lame man sighed repeatedly, looking a little helpless.

"That's not necessarily the case. Xiaoyue and the others entered the Death Gate, but it may be even more dangerous inside. After all, although we are trapped now, we have not encountered any danger. The most urgent task is to find the cause and the way to leave. Don't say anything else, it's meaningless." I said. It was also said to everyone.

The old lame man nodded and stopped talking. But after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of a solution. The most important thing is that we don't know the reason, so we naturally cannot find an effective solution.

"It must be a ghost at work." The fat man reiterated the old words, and this time he said with a confident look on his face.

"How do you know?" I looked at him in surprise, not understanding why he was so sure.

"Little Prince, what place is there that has a way but we can't get out? It must be a ghost who has tricked us. Think about what we encountered here when we came?"

"What did you encounter?" I looked at him in confusion, and suddenly a flash of inspiration in my mind: "You mean, that thing in the river?"

"It must be it, otherwise what else can it be?"

I kept thinking about the possibility of his thoughts, and when I thought of the illusion I had seen before, I suddenly felt that it was very possible. "What should we do?"

"If that's true, we can't get out of it now. In my opinion, the most direct way is to find it out, which is also the best way."

This is indeed the most direct and best way, but I was very resistant in my heart. Because if we want this, we must go into the water. It will be very dangerous to have that ghost thing that I don’t know what it is.

But in the end I had to agree, because there was nothing else to do. Fatty and I prepared and then slid into the water. The water here was colder than the water we had when we came in before. The seemingly turbid water flow was actually extremely clear, at least in the range of several meters around, and the eyes and places, without any obstacles.

I suddenly remembered a question. This river is more than ten meters wide and the depth of the river is more than five meters. How can we find that ghost thing? Should we search the entire river? How long will it take!

I told the fat man about the problem. At first he was a little embarrassed, but he was very open and grinned, took out a dagger and gently scratched it on his palm, and a trace of blood mixed into it along the river.

"Is this a good idea? I feel like fishing, and we are the bait."

"If it's OK, you have to try it before you know that we can't wait here. If it doesn't come out for a year or two, wouldn't we be trapped here to death?"

"That's the same, haha, fat man, when we encountered such things in the past, we would go as far as we could, but this time we took the initiative to look for it, and I felt like I was looking for trouble."

"Haha, you're right. We're just looking for trouble. Who stipulates that they can only come to trouble us and not let us take the initiative to attack. We had too many concerns before. Master Gua said, we must have the spirit of trying to get the emperor off the horse with all our might. What else can stump us?"

"Okay, Fatty, you're right. Let us brothers fight hard today."

As soon as I finished this sentence, I suddenly felt that the water around me fluctuated abnormally. As soon as I was alert, I suddenly felt that something was tightly grasping my ankle. The power was really great, and I almost cried out in just a moment.

As a lesson from the past, Xiao Qi's fate made me feel full of vigilance. I knew it was useless to struggle blindly. I quickly said hello to the fat man, and then we both got into the water together.
