After Menyouping said this, he ignored my questioning and ran down quickly. When I saw a glimmer of the truth, I naturally refused to let it go and chased after him.

The fog under the pool continued to rise. I had only walked ten steps when I entered the dense fog. The visibility dropped sharply. At first, I could still see the back of the fat man. After a few steps, I could only see the front. The next flashlight spot. In addition, the fat man was so courageous that he ran three steps at a time. As a result, he threw me far away in one fell swoop. As a result, I didn't even get down a circle and I couldn't even see the light spot of the fat man's flashlight.

Now I was a little panicked. I was now surrounded by clouds and mist. I could only see less than half a meter forward, backward, and to the right. This feeling of being able to see but not being clear was even more uncomfortable than being in absolute darkness. .

The vertical distance between the surface of the pool and the bottom of the pool was not long. As long as I had a cigarette, the fat man shouted from below: "I'm at the bottom here!"

I heard the sound of his feet stepping on the puddle of water. I hurriedly took a few steps and ran down. Suddenly my feet felt cold and I stepped into the water. It turned out that not all the water at the bottom of the pool had been drained away, and there was still water about calf-deep. No wonder I couldn't see clearly when I looked down from above.

I observed this place and found that it was almost the center of the fog and the visibility was even lower. I touched the wall of the pool and walked a few steps when I heard the fat man shouting from the left: "Pay attention to the bottom of the water. There is water in here." The hole, be sure to step into it.”

I explored it with my feet, and sure enough, there were bowl-sized holes in the front and back. It seemed like I had to be extremely careful when walking here. At this time, the fat man came out of the fog with a flashlight and asked me to follow him.

I nodded and followed him into the water. After walking a few steps, I suddenly saw a few black outlines in front of me. I didn’t know what they were. The fat man had obviously seen them and was not afraid at all. He told me not to waste time and I would follow. He walked over and took a look. It turned out to be four stone monkeys as tall as half a man. They were squatting on the stone base, facing all directions. They didn't know what they were praying for. I knew that these were called Dinghai stone monkeys. They usually sank at the bottom of the pond and were used to ward off evil spirits. Yes, it is normal to appear here.

I felt relieved and walked a few more steps in. I saw a large green hillside stone tablet more than two meters high standing in the middle of the four stone monkeys. Menyou Ping was shining a flashlight on the stone tablet to look at it carefully.

I walked over and asked him: "How is it? Do you think of anything when you see these?"

He pointed to the foundation stone in front of the monument. I took a look and saw a few lines of small regular characters engraved on it. The fat man couldn't understand and asked me what it meant. I said, "These few words tell us that the owner of the tomb built it." A heavenly palace, and the door to the heavenly palace is inside this stone tablet. If you are destined, this door will open. If you walk through this door, you can go to heaven."

The fat man looked at the stone tablet and said, "There is a fart door."

I said to him: "This sentence is a bit like a Zen saying. Everyone has different understandings of this kind of words. His original meaning is not that there is really a door in this stone tablet. It may mean that the content on the tablet may be Hiding something.”

The fat man said to me: "Damn it, is there any 'content' on this tablet? I can't see a word of it!"

I looked up and saw that the front of the stone tablet was bare and extremely polished, almost like a piece of jade, but there was not a single word on it. I was also puzzled and said, "It says it will only be opened if there is a destiny. You are not destined to the Heavenly Palace, of course not."

The fat man sighed, leaned down and touched it in the water. While touching it, he muttered: "It doesn't matter if I don't have a fate with Tiangong, as long as I have a fate with Mingqi."

I turned to look at Menyou Ping. His expression was very bad. I asked him a few questions and he ignored me. He just stared at the stone tablet carefully, as if he was looking for something. I felt strange that it was just a bare slab. , I don’t know what he is looking at with concentration. At this time, the fat man clapped his hands. I turned my head and saw him picking up a diving goggle from the water and said, "It seems that a lot of people have been here."

I walked over and said to him: "When my third uncle went out, he didn't have any diving equipment on him. These things may belong to him. Check to see if there are any oxygen bottles."

As soon as he finished speaking, the fat man had taken out an oxygen bottle that had been knocked flat from the water. He tried to use it, but it didn't seem to work, so he threw it back into the water and said, "There are so many rags down here, it's hard for me." Running down from such a high altitude is really a waste of joy. I think we should go up quickly. There is no guarantee when the water will fill up again and it will be too late to fly by then."

I looked at the water level and felt that what the fat man said made sense, so I walked back to find the bottle. When I saw that he was no longer there, I called several times, but no one answered, and my heart suddenly skipped a beat.

This kid is like a ghost. He often appears and disappears suddenly. He must not disappear again this time.

Thinking of this, I hurriedly asked the fat man to look around. Although the fog was very thick, the place was not big. We walked around twice and finally found him sitting in the corner of the pool wall, looking blankly ahead. When I saw Something felt wrong in his eyes. They no longer had the calmness he usually had, and were replaced by an almost lifeless, almost desperate look. He looked like a dead person.

I hurriedly asked what happened, and he looked up at me and said in a barely audible voice: "I remembered what happened twenty years ago -"
