Zhang Tie remembers that when he was working in a grocery store, Tang De once told him a story. The protagonists of that story were a group of savages who had only lived in caves since birth. One day, these savages suddenly discovered a new place in the cave. In that place, all the savages saw a huge sign on the wall of the cave. The figure was moving, and the figure was too big, so the savages regarded the shaking figure as God and gods, and worshiped one by one. Day after day, year after year, all the savages were in awe of the huge shaking figure. Many years later, a newly born young savage also saw the huge shadow shaking on the wall of the cave, and he and the other savages were attracted to that huge shadow. The worship and respect of a shadow are different. The young savage was very smart. When he saw the shadow, he wanted to find the reason and tell everyone the reason. And then, after the young savage experienced ninety-nine and eighty-one hardships, the young savage became the first one among all the savages to walk out of the cave. The savage who walked out of the cave discovered that the huge shaking statue of the god was actually only It is a piece of Stone at the light entrance on the top of the cave dome. The sunlight passes through the piece of Stone and shines into the cave. The shadow of Stone forms a rough portrait on the wall of the cave. And as the sun moves, the figure seems to move, slowly lengthening its shadow.

The young savage who found the reason happily returned to the cave and told all the savages the truth he found outside the cave. The savages were not shocked, but angry. They tied up the young savage and killed him on the charge of blasphemy in front of the shadow of Stone. Then they continued to worship the shadow of Stone happily and in awe.

Tang De used this story to tell Zhang Tie two truths. The first one is that when everyone agrees on a certain thing, even if you know that it is wrong, you should not speak out about it and stand on the opposite side of those people. What people believe is the truth, which is the law of human survival in society. Second, the truth is always in the hands of a few people, but for most people, they do not live in the truth and truth, but only live in the emotions that illusions make them. Therefore, emotions are more important than the truth.

Zhang Tie also didn't expect that a sentence he used as a joke a few days ago would cause such an uproar at this time.

Mining, the secret cultivation method, holy shit, this is a big joke.

Looking at those expectant eyes, Zhang Tie realized that if he told the truth at this moment, he would soon be drowned in saliva and accusations, and on top of that, he would instantly gain fifty or sixty more enemies.

Want to tell the truth?

Of course not, I'm not an idiot!

Then, it seems that I can only use my trump card...

Three--Two--One "Cave Savage Survival Mode" starts...

These thoughts flashed through Zhang Tie's mind in just one second, and then, in the eyes of all the animals, the shock and surprise on Zhang Tie's face turned into incomparable solemnity.

Zhang Tie's face was very solemn at this moment, very solemn.

"I didn't expect that my secret would be discovered by everyone... Alas!" Zhang Tie looked up to the sky with a helpless sigh.

All the animals became excited when they heard Zhang Tie sighing like this. It turned out to be true. Many animals came with the attitude of giving it a try, but they didn't expect that they actually encountered an opportunity.

"Is there really a secret?" Wood asked, rubbing his hands in excitement.

"It's not convenient to talk here. Everyone, please follow me into the mine!" Zhang Tie turned his head and looked left and right, pretending to be cautious, and then looked at the animals seriously, "From now on, no matter what you do, please keep quiet and follow my arrangements. If anyone can't do it, please leave. Anyone who agrees can follow me into the cave!"

As Zhang Tie said, he had already taken out the torch from Mining Basket, lit it, and then waved to Wood, asking Wood to bring his head over.

"When we enter later, you stay at the back of the team and don't light the torch. After we enter about a hundred meters, you quietly lurk behind for five minutes to see if anyone follows us quietly. We will wait for you in front of the tunnel!" Zhang Tie whispered to Wood.

"I don't have a watch, how can I keep track of the lurking time in the dark?" Wood scratched his head in annoyance.

Unexpectedly, this guy was quite serious at this time, so Zhang Tie had to put it another way, "From the beginning of your lurking to the end, you press your pulse and count until your pulse jumps to the 300th beat..."

"Okay!" The eyes of this guy Wood are shining at this moment. The secret is the most mysterious and powerful Eastern secret. At this time, not only Wood, but also all the animals' hearts are beginning to be filled with blood.

Wood quietly stood aside and looked at Zhang Tie who lit the torch. At this time, Zhang Tie carefully scanned the hungry and excited faces of the animals No. 50 and 60. Among those faces, Zhang Tie found a few familiar guys. They were the unlucky guys who came here to mine with him during this period. They were a few really unlucky guys. Because of their low strength, they were unable to hunt prey. In addition, they were introverted and had few friends. In the end, they had to come here to mine to make a living.

When Zhang Tie glanced at the guys who were mining here, those guys tried their best to hold up their chests. I guess even Changtie himself didn't know that he was the pride and pride of all miners at this moment. Idol, not to mention the strength and wisdom that Zhang Tie showed yesterday, just the way Zhang Tie swaggered at the party last night with two busty beauties in his arms was enough to make these guys fall in admiration.

"The brothers who were originally mining here will go out first!"

Hearing what Zhang Tie said, those guys walked out of the crowd quite uneasily. You looked at me and I looked at you, for fear that Zhang Tie would exclude them from the crowd. These guys were either in school or in school. It was somewhere else. Over the past ten years, they seemed to have become accustomed to being unlucky and ignored. Therefore, when Zhang Tie suddenly called them out, everyone became nervous, and some of the more pessimistic ones suddenly had their eyebrows drooped.

"I... we also want to go in with you!" The guy who was called out turned red in the face. Only then did he muster up the courage to say this to Zhang Tie.

"Of course, when that sacred door opens, no brother will be left behind!" Zhang Tie, who was activated by Cave Savage Survival Mode, showed on his face the magic sticks he had seen in the church, oh, no, it was when the priest faced the believers. That kind of calm and warm smile, full of love, "You are the most familiar with the terrain of the tunnel. I want you to walk in front with torches and light up the road. As everyone's leader and guide, don't let your brothers go astray. I wonder if you are qualified for this task?"

"Yes, of course I can!" The collapsed chests of several guys suddenly stood up again, and they were all excited.

"Go then. Use your torch to light up the path forward for your brothers!" Zhang Tie's thinking became clearer at this time. Cave Savage Survival Mode used it more skillfully. The words he spoke became more and more full of a mysterious meaning, "When you start to use firelight in the dark to light the way for others instead of for yourself, your future road will eventually be illuminated!"

When a few excited hapless guys heard this, their excitement suddenly turned into solemnity. One of them blushed and said that he wanted to follow Zhang Tie in. He even bent down and saluted Zhang Tie, and then the few of them walked into the dark cave with their chests held out, their heads raised, and torches.

"Everyone, follow..." Zhang Tie, who was walking behind a few people, called on the other animals to follow. Some of the group carried torches, and some did not. There were fifty or sixty people in the team, and there were more than thirty people carrying torches. These lights were enough. Several years of semi-military education and training in the school allowed everyone to They maintained a high degree of discipline at all times, no one spoke, and no one wanted to be left behind. Everyone followed Zhang Tie quietly into the cave. Wood, who was carrying the heavy responsibility, slowly walked to the end of the team according to Zhang Tie's arrangements...

For the many animals following Zhang Tie, it was the first time for many of them to walk into the mine. The circles of circular marks on the cave wall made by Gold-Eating Python appeared and disappeared in circles from beginning to end in the darkness. Everyone seemed to be walking in an endless tunnel, giving people a mysterious and dignified feeling.

No one spoke. In the entire mine, there were only the rustling footsteps of people and the occasional beeping sound of burning torches.

Zhang Tie's footsteps were not slow and leisurely, and the whole team was moving at a leisurely pace. Zhang Tie, who was walking in the mine, looked calm, but his mind was spinning rapidly. Tang De and all the stories and deeds of the scammers he told flashed through his mind. Many things were racing in Zhang Tie's head. Flash forward, the process of walking into the cave was originally a process used by Zhang Tie to delay time so that he could come up with countermeasures. When he walked into the cave for about 300 meters, a bold, well-adapted to the situation at hand, and a somewhat mischievous and prank-like plan for Zhang Tie was formally formed in Zhang Tie's mind.

Anyway, even if some of these guys find out that this is a prank after the trial is completed, the incident itself will not cause any harm to them. Everyone can just play a game of Mouse Club. Zhang Tie thought so, thinking about his arrangements later in the plan, he almost laughed in his stomach, but the look on his face became more and more solemn.

"Stop!" Zhang Tie's voice spread far in the cave. After saying this, Zhang Tie stopped. Everyone who didn't know what kind of medicine Zhang Tie was selling in the gourd also stopped with Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie did not explain. He just remained silent because Zhang Tie said to keep quiet. Everyone followed him in silence. Everyone was afraid that if they spoke, they would lose the opportunity to contact the secret. In this weird silence, the atmosphere in the dark mine became more mysterious and dignified.

After waiting quietly for five minutes, Zhang Tie thought over his plan in his mind and perfected a few details. Wood's footsteps sounded from behind, and Wood, holding a torch, chased after him from behind.

"No one is following!" When Wood said this to Zhang Tie, he did not deliberately raise his voice, but everyone in the tunnel still heard it clearly. Seeing Zhang Tie being so solemn, everyone became more and more convinced that the secret of mining and the mysterious secret that they were about to know became more and more real...

This is actually the most common trick used by swindlers and a means of manipulating people's hearts. No matter how absurd and false something is, as long as you are more solemn and careful about it, and the more you treat it as true, that thing will appear more real and important in the eyes of others. Tang De said However, for most ordinary people, their judgment and attitude towards a thing does not depend on their own observation and thinking about that thing, but only depends on the attitudes and judgments of other people they see towards that thing. Therefore, in public places, even if the sky is empty, as long as you look up Stare at the sky. Soon, more and more people will look up at the sky with you. Even if there is nothing in the sky, those who look up because others are looking up will try to find something in the sky to convince themselves that they have seen nothing. When they are young, the first thing they suspect is not others, but themselves. Therefore, a liar, a successful liar, as long as he can deceive himself, he will have half the success...
