It was hard for me to tell what I was feeling at that time. I felt my scalp go cold and my body break out in cold sweat. When I looked at everyone's faces, they were all green and purple.

The monk had obviously run ahead of us to scout the way ahead. We stayed where we were, resting on the stone steps without even moving. How did the monk come out from behind us?

Hai Yang swiped at the monk's face and scolded, "Damned bald donkey, let me see if you're wearing a human skin mask."

The monk slapped his hand away and scolded him, "Are you crazy? [I am telling the truth. When did you come in front of me?] Why didn't I see you guys? "

Hai Yang said angrily, "We haven't even moved. How did you come out from behind? Who the hell was that monk? Don't tell me that you have twins like Sanjin? "

"F * ck off, I don't want to waste time talking to you. I told you guys to rest first and then keep running forward without stopping. I don't know what's going on either. Did I unknowingly turn back? "

The monk had a face full of doubt, but Zhu Yingqiong shook his head and said, "Even if you go back the way you came, you will still be going up. You won't come out from behind us, there's something wrong with this place."

I waved my hand to stop their argument. Then, I frowned and asked the monk, "When you were running just now, did you notice any forks in the road?"

The monk shook his head: "We have walked to the end of the road and did not see the fork in the road. Sanjin, do you mean that there are other forks behind us?"

I nodded. "That's a possibility, there are already many forks in the road here, and we are not clear on the paths, so it is understandable that we have taken the wrong path and arrived behind us. Think about it carefully, we have not reached the end of this stone staircase for more than ten minutes, so how could there be such a long stone staircase?" I suspect we went down the wrong path by accident. "

"Then what should we do? Besides, I really didn't see any fork in the road, could we have taken the wrong path? "

The monk muttered with a puzzled expression. Zhu Yingqiong also said: "I also feel that there is no fork in the road, even if the environment is dark, I have been on high alert the entire time we were walking down the road, I simply did not notice a fork in the road. Furthermore, the monk appearing behind us means that even if there is a fork in the road, we are still moving towards the south."

After hearing what Zhu Yingqiong said, my face became even paler, it was just me consoling myself that there's a fork in the stairs, if it wasn't for the fork, then things would have turned strange, could it be that the four of us were fooled by this unknown stone step?

But the stone steps are inanimate, and people are alive. How can it fool us?

After I explained the situation, Hai Yang suddenly jumped up and exclaimed, "What the f * ck! Could it be the Ghost Walls?!"

Zhu Yingqiong had grown up in England, so she did not understand. She frowned and asked, "What do you mean by 'Wall-Hitting Ghost'?"

I immediately explained to Zhu Yingqiong that the so-called Ghost Walls, also known as the Ghost Walls, the Ghost Walls, was a traditional Chinese term used to describe when people walked alone on the streets at night or in the suburbs or in cemetery, that was, when people walked alone on the streets at night or in the suburbs, they would lose their sense of direction and their sense of self would blur. They didn't know where they were going, so they would always walk in circles.

But there must be ghosts on the wall. Could there be ghosts around us?

I suddenly thought of Xu Jun's corpse, then thought of the Japanese that was half dead that Charles had mentioned.

Zhu Yingqiong shook her head: "All of us have met with many unfathomable things along the way, you all love to talk about things related to ghosts and gods, but in the end, there are no ghosts. I do not believe that there are truly ghosts attacking walls, let's go and take a closer look, alright?"

The monk also agreed with Zhu Yingqiong's suggestion. Hai Yang took out a cigarette from her backpack, lit it up, and then placed it on the stone steps beneath her feet: "Whether or not it's a ghost wall test, we will know. As long as we see this cigarette, it means that we have returned to the starting point."

In order to confirm that it wasn't a ghost attack, we packed our backpacks and the four of us turned on our flashlight and mine lamp before carefully walking down the stone stairs.

This time we walked very slowly, in case there were any forks in the walls on either side of the stone steps, but it was clear that I was thinking too much. The walls on both sides of the stone steps were completely bare.

After about ten minutes of walking, the stone steps in front of us still seemed to lead to the end of the world. There were no signs of cigarette butts behind us, so it was impossible to tell if we had made it back or not.

After walking for a few more minutes, we are still in the endless stone tunnel. Our faces are very pale, I looked at the floor and suddenly picked up a cigarette butt. Goosebumps appeared all over my body as I asked, "What brand of cigarettes did you light up just now?"

Hai Yang said, "Smoke?"

I handed him the cigarette and gulped. "Although I don't want to admit it, I have to admit that we're back. This is the place where we threw down the monks."

Hai Yang threw away the cigarette butt as if she had been scalded and said in a broken voice, "It really was the cigarette that I lit. When did we come back?"

The monk said, "I don't know. Anyway, it's impossible for the four of us to have hallucinations, and we can't be unaware of the fact that we're walking on a side street at the same time. Besides, this time I've looked at it carefully, there's no other side road."

Zhu Yingqiong did not make a sound, her expression becoming heavy, obviously thinking about the possibility of this happening again.

I sat where I was and lit a cigarette. "This isn't a good way to go on. From the map, we should be able to reach the location of the small-sized bomber as long as we walk down the stone steps. However, no one expected that there would be a ghost wall here.

Hai Yang rolled her eyes, "Do you think I am Mr. Yin Yang? "How the f * ck would I know how to break through a ghost wall? Anyway, I heard that people say that when you meet a ghost wall in the outskirts of the mountain, you will close your eyes and wait there. As soon as the sun shines, the ghost wall will disperse."

The monk scolded, "You're just like an idiot. Underneath the Wild Mountain, even if we don't wake up, we will still be the same …"

With that, the monk looked at me and said, "Sanjin, why don't we go back? If we go down, we would unknowingly turn around and walk back. Even if we cannot leave, we can still return to Chen Jun's stone room. It would be better to think of another solution there than staying here! "

I nodded. "Just give it a try!"

In order to verify whether we could return to the stone room that Chen Jun lived in, we turned and walked up. Going up the stairs and going down the stairs are two different things, and furthermore, we have been travelling crazily for a while, so it was very tiring.

After walking for another ten minutes or so while panting heavily, with no end in sight, Zhu Yingqiong suddenly stopped us in our tracks. She pointed to the ground and we looked down only to see seven to eight cigarette butts piled high on the ground, all of them thrown out by us.

Swish!

Looking at these cigarette butts, our faces turned green. I even saw the veins on the monk's forehead popping out. Since when the heck did he come back?

No matter if we walk up or down, we would definitely return to this place. I suddenly remembered why I saw Chen Jun's stone room before, at that time I was still puzzled over why he lived there. Now that I think about it, maybe the Phantom Wall on the stone steps was created by Chen Jun.

He was an expert in odd gossip, creating a Bewitching Array was something child's play, but why would Chen Jun do such a thing?

It is obviously impossible for him to expect that we would arrive at the Wild Mountain in a few hundred years time. At that time, his goal might have been to defend against something, but now, it has become a difficult barrier that we are helpless against.

Pow!

Hai Yang sat down on the ground and scolded, "This time, laozi is done for, it's even scarier than Fort House. No matter how we go, we will always return to our original location, then what are we going to do with it? We just need to lie down and wait for death.

The fact that Sakyamuni Army was able to draw a map meant that Sakyamuni Army had also walked on this path and only after walking out could we draw a map. Could it be that we can't even compare to the Japanese of ten years ago?

I drank a little water and calmed myself down. "Don't worry, the matter hasn't reached the final stage yet. Let's rest for a while and think of another way. I don't believe that the four of us will be able to defeat the item left behind by an old monster from a few hundred years ago."

Zhu Yingqiong, who had been sitting quietly at the side, suddenly asked, "What if it's not the Wall-Hitting Ghost?"

Zhu Yingqiong then continued to speak, "You guys said that we will unknowingly return down the stairs, but the way back is to climb up the stairs, but we still did not feel that, no matter how mystical the Wall-Hitting Ghost is, it would not change our way, right?"

Hai Yang anxiously said, "Aiyah, I said big sis, saying you are Fake Foreigner, why are you still trying to keep me in suspense? Just say what you want to say, and keep it in your heart. We sound even worse. "

Zhu Yingqiong stared at the ocean and continued, "If we were to position ourselves at the center, then we would come here from the top, and even if we were to walk upwards, we would come here from the bottom. This is completely illogical, we humans have our own thoughts, so how can we unknowingly turn around and not know? That's why we're heading in the right direction, and we're not even looking back, we're just moving forward! "

The monk frowned and asked, "If we keep walking forward, how did we get back?"

Zhu Yingqiong drew a circle on the ground with her finger and said: "If the entire stone step is circular, then no matter how we walk, we will always return to the starting point."

I waved my hand. "It can't be circular, don't you forget. When we walked up the stone steps, we passed through the corridors of the stone rooms. If the stone steps were circular, then even if we walked back to the original location, we should still be able to see the exit of the corridor."

Zhu Yingqiong nodded her head: "Chen San is right, so there is only one explanation."

"What explanation?" Everyone asked.

Zhu Yingqiong took a deep breath and said, "Unless the entire stone stairs are in a continuous loop, so no matter how we walk, we will always return to the starting point."
