Golden Forbidden Land: I am at the highest level, exploring the secrets of immortality

It turned out to be a stone. It felt cold in my hand, as if I was holding a piece of ice. When I turned it over, I found that the other side of the stone looked like a stone door, with some unclear characters engraved on it. It must have been many years old, and moss grew on it, but I could still recognize this kind of characters...

When I was a child, the adults did not allow us to leave the village. At that time, my grandfather told me all kinds of strange stories, especially the stories in Journey to the West. I asked my grandfather to tell me every day.

Sometimes, I saw my grandfather scribbling on the book Journey to the West, and he would take out a pen to write a few strokes from time to time.

I asked him what he wrote.

My grandfather always squinted his eyes, looked at me for a long time, and asked me, do you want to know what it is written, I will teach you?

I nodded, and my grandfather showed a satisfied smile.

Now the characters appeared in my mind again, the kind of words that my grandfather noted in the notes of Journey to the West. I thought of my grandfather again, and I don’t know how he is now.

It seems that this thing was left by my grandfather.

Could there be something else under this cupboard... I carefully moved the cupboard aside, and when I looked, I saw that there was indeed a bottomless pit under the stone, which could only accommodate one person.

But there was a chill in the pit, and a cold wind was blowing out.

I didn't know where I got the courage at that time. I only thought that it might be related to my grandfather's disappearance, so I took the flashlight and went down. There were stone steps under this deep pit, and the deeper I went, the wider it became, but it was also quite humid. When I went in, I found that the ground was covered with water.

Through the light, the front was vague, and there seemed to be a layer of white mist. I couldn't help but shudder.

There was only a narrow passage, and at the end of the passage was a stone door.

"Key?"

I took out the key from my pocket and found that the strangest key was exactly the same as the keyhole on the stone door.

Could it be that my parents deliberately let me find this place?

The passage ahead was full of water, and I didn't know how deep it was. I picked up a piece of mud and threw it into the water, but I didn't hear the sound of it sinking to the bottom for a long time.

I have heard since I was a child that there is a dark river around the village, in the middle of the stone wall of the mountain. Sometimes, when we walk on the mountain road and put our ears against the stone wall, we can hear the sound of gurgling water inside.

Suddenly, just when the mud sank to the bottom, the water actually gurgled, as if it was boiling, and then rows of stone steps emerged on the water surface and floated on the water.

Each stone can just stand a person, and the stone is also engraved with runes left by my grandfather.

"This... won't let me jump over these stones?"

I looked around, and it seems that this is the only way.

And I know the meaning of all those words. They were all taught to me by my grandfather since I was a child. It seems that they really come in handy. The old man is really well-intentioned and far-sighted.

The words on the stone slab have only two meanings, life or death!

The words on the slab overlap and cross each other, without any rules. Of course, I remember that my grandfather often played a game with me, hopscotch.

Draw a house-like pattern on the ground, divided into several equal parts, and you can only jump on the marked grids. If you violate the rules, you lose. But now, if I jump wrong, I guess it’s over.

I took a deep breath, and then skillfully jumped onto the slab with the word "life". Everything went smoothly, but just when I jumped to the middle, the slab in front of me actually began to move.

Just when I stopped for a while, the slab I stepped on began to sink. At this time, I found that there seemed to be a lot of things swimming around in the water, a dark mass, and extremely creepy.

"This is a big joke."

My heart sank.

I gritted my teeth and moved my body forward. My feet stepped directly on a slab. When I turned over, my body seemed very light and directly crossed the slab in front of me. My body stood upside down, with both hands standing on a slab.

This is what my grandfather taught me to do every day, walking upside down. He said that the human body is an infinite treasure. If you don't explore it well when you are young, it will be useless when you grow up. So whenever I follow my grandfather to the mountains to collect herbs, he always teaches me some seemingly useless things.

My grandfather said that the head of the body is yang and the feet are yin. The key to reversing yin and yang can save lives.

Sure enough, it is easier to walk forward at a different angle.

When my hands quickly moved to the last stone slab, my feet leaned directly on the door of the room, my body tilted, and the whole person stood firmly, then clapped my hands and took a deep breath.

"Done!"

"Gulp gulp--"

Suddenly, I found that the stone slabs not far from me had sunk to the bottom, and the guy swimming in the water seemed to be a little abnormal, swimming quickly in the water. At this moment, looking at the water surface again, it seemed like a giant dragon was hovering in the water.

"Water Dragon King!"

I was stunned.

I remember asking my grandfather if there was really a Dragon King in the water like the one described in Journey to the West? My grandfather just kept silent and didn't answer me. He just warned me not to go into the water!

"Zizi--"

When I looked carefully, I could see clearly that the thing that emerged from the water, which looked like a spine, scraped off a layer of mud from the surrounding soil, and splashed water everywhere.

And that huge guy was actually made up of countless tiny fish-like creatures gathered in the water.

That was not a fish, but...

a snake!

The snakes, which were almost as thick as a thumb, were so densely packed in the water that I got goose bumps all over my body.

“Boom——”

A splash of water came, and the steps I had just come down collapsed, and the deep pit was buried. The water seemed to start rising, and it was already close to my feet. I even saw those thin snakes scrambling to rub against my feet...
