?

  This fat brother, I absolutely don't doubt him, but curiosity is there. As soon as my inquiring eyes glanced over, the fat brother put his arm around my shoulder and started yelling: "If we are brothers in this life, then in the next life, think of you again..."

  This kid is obviously changing the subject, I was going to say something, but thinking about it, who doesn't have a past, so we don't delve deeper. The two of us walked forward with our shoulders together, singing "Brotherhood". Fortunately, there's no one around here, even if we howl like wolves, no one will accuse us of disturbing the peace. Just as my throat was getting dry from howling, Fatty suddenly stopped and said: "We're here."

  According to the time, it's around 10 o'clock in the morning now, which is a great time with plenty of daylight. However, in this place, sunlight is blocked by something cold above, and everything looks gray and hazy, as if it were only dawn. When I heard what Fatso said, I couldn't help but look around, and after taking a glance, my heart skipped a beat - damn it, was it another ghost hitting the wall?

  Do I have fate with ghost hitting wall?

  I only saw that the environment around me had not changed at all, but on both sides of the ice piles, a cave entrance was exposed, and it was the same ice cave where we were just waiting. The black leather curtain at the entrance of the cave was rustling in the wind.

  I stared blankly, looking at the fat man, and after a long time, I asked with difficulty: "Is this... a ghost hitting the wall?" The fat man said: "At first, I thought so too, but after several days of careful observation, it's proven that this is not a ghost hitting the wall, but rather a unique feng shui."

  Want to find the vein of Feng Shui, that's the skill of Jin Xun Yu, Bao Zi claims to be the only successor of Jin Xun Yu, I've never seen him have any ability to find dragon veins or distinguish Feng Shui, now hearing him say this, suddenly feels not very reliable, so said: "Bao Zi, are you sure this is a Feng Shui formation?"

  The fatty clicked his tongue and said, "Don't you look down on people? Haven't you heard the story of Zhuge Liang's Eight Trigrams Array to repel the enemy army? To put it mildly, that is a clever escape tactic; to put it grandly, that is a masterful manipulation of the environment. Our ancestors didn't say for nothing: 'Seeing is believing, hearing is deceiving.' In fact, sometimes what our eyes see isn't necessarily true. Take this feng shui formation, for example - if set up well, it can deceive people's eyes. You've been thinking we were walking in a straight line all along, but actually, we've circled around this ice mound and turned a full circle."

  I didn't expect Fatso to have some real skills, and I was shocked in my heart. If Fatso really understood the way, then he would not have been trapped here for more than ten days without finding a way out. What can he do now?

  I immediately asked, "Don't make such a big deal out of it, just tell me, is there any way to get out?" The fat man countered, "Get out? Why do you want to get out?" I was confused by him and cursed, "Not getting out, are we going to grow old here?"

  Fatso laughed and said, "No need to worry about getting old. At first, I followed Aunt Wen Jin along the way to find that Dou, but as we walked, we ended up walking into this place. I remember that at the entrance was a gorge, and this place should be a depression surrounded by mountains on all sides, with steep cliffs all around. But after we came in, that entrance disappeared." My heart skipped a beat, and I asked, "What about Chen Wen Jin and the others? Why are you the only one left? Don't tell me you single-handedly took down Black Blind Man's gang?"

  Fat boy hehe smiled and said, "I was thinking." Then, with a embarrassed smile, he touched his nose and said, "Unfortunately, it was Fat Master who got abandoned." He then told the story of how he was 'abandoned' by Wen Jin and others.

  They were trapped here with eleven people, at first, no one thought of the Feng Shui layout problem, thinking and thinking, sometimes it was an illusion, sometimes it was a ghost hitting the wall, in short, there was no direction, just like this until evening, everyone was exhausted, just found the ice cave where Fatso is now hiding, so the group rested inside, divided into two shifts to keep watch.

  To a certain extent, Chen Wenjin can be considered as one of the gang with Baozi. Hei Xiangzi is truly ruthless and would not let anyone off easily, so Baozi and Chen Wenjin kept watch in shifts, each taking half the night.

  It was Wen Jin and Hei Xiangzi's turn to keep watch in the second half of the night. Pangzi slept drowsily, and when he woke up, he found that everyone in the cave had disappeared, and it was a very strange disappearance.

  Outside the ice cave, on the snowy ground, there was no trace of anything, and all the equipment had disappeared. It was as if those people and their equipment had vanished into thin air. Except for the clothes on Fatso's body and a few single-handed knives, nothing was left behind, not even a hint of a clue. Fatso suddenly slapped himself in the face, thinking to himself that he had been too careless. He quickly ran out of the ice cave and began to investigate the trail. Finally, he discovered a faint trace near the riverbank - a dragging mark, as if something had crawled over it. The size of the mark was just about the width of a person.

  That trail extended from the riverbank to a place not far outside the ice cave. Fatty was shocked in his heart, thinking that perhaps there was some kind of monster in the river that had dragged Wen Jin and company into the water to eat them? But that's also impossible, why wouldn't it eat him too? Even if it wanted to eat people, it wouldn't eat their equipment together, would it?

  Did they find an exit? This group of people realized that they wouldn't be able to search for the dragon's lair, so they abandoned me and ran away?

  Pangzi thought about it more and more, feeling that it was possible. Wen Jin had discussed a lot about the problem of that Dou on this road. According to Wen Jin's words, that Dou was in a position called Longyuequan, which is a kind of Fengshui terrain. As for what it specifically looked like, there were no classics to verify and no clues to follow, so she found Pangzi and took him along the way, hoping he could recognize the Dou position at Longyuequan.

  Fatso all the way up, pretending to be mysterious, he's not afraid to confess to Wen Jin, mainly avoiding Hei Mangzi. In this vast Kunlun Mountains, killing someone is not a big deal.

  Fatso thought of this, and couldn't help but secretly scold Wen Jin for being unrighteous, actually surrendering to Hei Xiangzi and abandoning his old comrade. He stood by the river, looking at the trail that extended all the way into the water, and instinctively reached out a hand to feel it, suddenly transmitting a cold chill.

  Could it be that Chen Wenjin and his companions found their way out in this water?

  Fatso is a man of action, he can't just sit and wait for death. He immediately took off his clothes, warmed up by the river, gritted his teeth and plunged into the water. The icy coldness that had accumulated over thousands of years pierced through his pores and into his bones, causing his meridians to freeze instantly. Fortunately, he stretched his limbs a bit before getting in the water, otherwise he would have cramps for sure.

  There was no light source around the fat man, and he only had two single-handed knives in his hand. The sky here was already gloomy, and after diving into the water, it became even darker, and nothing could be seen clearly. The fat man held his breath, narrowed his eyes and swam downwards, constantly searching everywhere, thinking if he could find an exit underwater.

  But the water is deeper than he imagined, Fatso told me that he hasn't reached the bottom yet, but according to his estimate, the depth of this river should be about the same as the height of the Zhang family's ancient building.

  He didn't have a diving suit or anything to keep warm, so it was impossible for him to stay underwater for long. Before long, Fatso had no choice but to surface, but he wasn't willing to give up. This place was barren and desolate, with not even a blade of grass growing; staying here would only lead to starvation. Chen Wenjin and his group hadn't expected to do any underwater work, so they hadn't brought any diving gear. Since they were able to dive down, the exit must be within reach. Fatso's body was numb from the cold, so he crawled onto the shore, wrapped himself in his clothes, and ran through the snowy terrain until his body warmed up again. Then, with a flick of his clothes, he plunged back into the water. This time, he didn't try to dive down to the bottom; instead, he started searching around him.

  Wen Jin and his group did not have underwater equipment, nor could they dive to the bottom. Therefore, that exit must be on the periphery, most likely against the cliff wall. Next, Fatso continued to work underwater without stopping, freezing stiff before getting up to run, almost searching the entire riverbank cliff wall.

  But by that afternoon, Fatso's eyes were almost red, in this birdless place, now only he was left with nothing to eat, wear or use, if he wasn't starved to death, he would freeze to death, at most he could hold on till tomorrow.

  Fatso was almost desperate, like a machine, constantly diving down, his eyes had been in the water for a long time, and his brain nerves were aching with pain. Just then, a red light flashed before Fatso's eyes.

  The red light flashed and disappeared, Fatso's heart skipped a beat. In the water, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, at this time, that red light also appeared in the dark water, this time Fatso saw clearly, it was a pair of blood-red eyeballs.

  Those eyes were absolutely not animal-like, but a pair of human eyes, blood-red and extremely venomous, staring at Fatso in the water. Even though Fatso had experienced many thrilling adventures, he was now scared out of breath.

  Is this a man or a water ghost?

  In this brief moment, the pair of red eyeballs suddenly approached him. At this time, Fatty clearly saw that what was swimming towards him was neither a human nor a water ghost, but a creature similar to a carp, only its body was as large as a real person, with a broad front and a narrow back, a round and smooth head facing forward, with two eyes resembling human eyeballs. Although it was a fish, the resentment in its gaze was very strange. Fatty didn't know what this thing was, and he didn't dare to provoke it for the time being. Subconsciously, he dodged backwards, but he was in the water, where he couldn't compare with the agility of the fish. In just a blink of an eye, the creature had already swum to the top of his head. Fatty looked up and suddenly saw a pale face.

  And that face had no facial features, and the skin was not ordinary white, but a color similar to the oil paint on Peking Opera masks.

  That face is empty.

  The fat man's whole body stiffened, and before he could react, his head was hit by a huge impact, and the entire person was smashed into the deep water by this force. With this smash, he involuntarily spat out the breath he had been holding back, and his lungs suddenly began to lack oxygen, showing signs of drowning.

  At this time, Fatty didn't have the mood to think about human faces or eyeballs. The feeling of hypoxia and drowning was unbearable for ordinary people. He desperately swam upwards, his vision blurry, unable to see anything in the darkness. Occasionally, a pale face would flash before his eyes, occasionally a pair of venomous eyeballs would flash by. Fatty thought to himself, "I'm done for, I've really become a water ghost."
