C14 Old lin was frightened and cried in despair
I was momentarily stunned and asked him why he wanted to go to the tall forest to sleep. Even if I couldn't live in the house, I could still sleep well in the chicken coop.
After saying that, I prepared to leave because I had a feeling that something was wrong. Maybe Taoist Xu Zhu was trying to make me remember.
"Halt." He suddenly shouted and then looked at me with a serious expression. "If you want to learn Tao techniques, you have to first grab the courage to do so. Hurry up and go! Don't wait for me to personally chase you away!"
"Master, didn't you say that High Forest is too dangerous to go to? "I don't have any Dao arts foundation now, this …" I instantly became afraid. When I was at home, I went to my grandparents' grave to sleep. That time, it almost took my life.
"Your senior is just a girl. When I first came here, I shouted at her and she obediently left. What are you, a man, afraid of?" Hurry up, don't waste time with me, otherwise I'll sleep for two days. "
At this moment, Rainbow suddenly came out of the house, looked at me and nodded. In front of her, I suddenly felt that I had lost all of my face. However, I couldn't help but ask her if Taoist Xu Zhu's words were true.
Hong Xi nodded with a serious look on her face. Daoist Xu Zhu was exaggerating things even more. He said how obedient and brave Hong Xi was back then.
I took a deep breath. Fine, you admit your wrongs in front of a girl, I really can't afford to lose face, it's just sleeping in the woods, I've even slept in front of a fierce grave. Furthermore, that was on Ghost Festival night, so such a small matter like this didn't trouble me at all.
However, when I was preparing to leave, I smiled and told Daoist Xu Zhu that it would be fine to sleep in the backyard tomorrow …
As I went out, I thought that I would have to find a place to spend the night and come back tomorrow to exaggerate a bit.
However, I did not expect that when I was outside, Hong Xi would follow me out. She was holding the small fish seedling, and handed me a piece of paper, which said: "There's no time. When you get to the tall forest, start a fire and roast the fish to eat. Leave the fish bones for me; in case you meet the old lady, do not run, but find a way to stuff the fish bone into her mouth before you run away."
I was still scared, but in front of the girls, I acted very unhurried. I nodded to her and told her to go back. Who would have thought that Hong Xi would follow me, meaning to send me to the tall forest, only then did she come back!
It's not like I can refuse it. I really don't want to, but it's hard to back down now.
There was moonlight in the sky, and the whole mountain was filled with the sound of insects and roars. The more they looked at the dark forest, the more terrifying they felt. This kind of forest is not like my hometown, where almost no one is active.
Rainbow led me around the house, then we headed for the mountains in the moonlight. When they set off, Daoist Void Bamboo had warned them that there were many wild beasts in the mountains. It was best not to use a flashlight, or else it would lead to disaster.
We walked for almost twenty minutes until we came out of the low woods. There was a path leading straight ahead, and at the end of it was a dark forest.
Rainbow light gently pushed me a little, pointing to the black forest opposite, which meant that I was walking towards the tall forest.
I closed my eyes and told her to hurry back. There were many wild beasts in the mountain, so it would be dangerous for a girl like you later on.
But Rainbow didn't leave. She insisted on looking at me, meaning to watch me go into the woods before she went back. Helpless, I carried the little fish into the forest. My heart was full of apprehension and trepidation, but in order not to be looked down upon by Rainbow, I had no choice but to stride forward.
The atmosphere was already weird. The night owls in the mountains would come over from time to time, causing me to be extremely afraid.
When I walked to the edge of the tall forest, I immediately felt the huge trees pressing down on me, as though they wanted to swallow me whole.
I turned my head to look at the position of Hong Xi, she's gone. Right now, I'm the only one in the entire deep mountains, whoever says they aren't afraid, I'll call them grandpa!
There was a little bit of moonlight, shining through the dense foliage and into the forest, making it seem different. Occasionally, one could see strange flowers and plants on the ground, and strange rocks and boulders.
I walked slowly into the woods, using the fluorescent light from my cell phone. Suddenly, I noticed that the trees on the other side of the forest were a bit lighter and a bit lighter. Most of the trees were pine trees, but there were also pine needles on the ground, so even though there was only a little light, I still walked as if I was walking on flat ground.
After walking to this relatively bright area, I instantly felt less afraid. It was just that because of the light, I could vaguely see the blind spot of the moonlight. That horrifying darkness, if I didn't experience it personally, I would never be able to feel this strange aura.
The pine needles on the ground were ready firewood, and I didn't dare to go anywhere else to pick them up. I sat under a big tree, grabbed some pine needles, lit them, and took the fish out.
I didn't expect that after roasting the fish for half a day, other than the roars of beasts and the sounds of night owls coming from afar, nothing else had happened in the mountain, the surroundings were rather quiet, and the fear towards the forest was becoming fainter and fainter. I even suspected that Daoist Void Bamboo and Rainbow Dawn's words had colluded to scare me and use this to test the new disciple.
When the pine needle was ignited, there was actually no fire. All there was was white smoke, and even a small fish seedling would not dare to move its mouth even if it was cooked.
So all I could do was find a tree and see which one I could climb to sleep on. However, just as I was about to climb the tree, I suddenly heard the sound of a girl's wailing coming from the depths of the forest. It sounded like someone was unable to speak and was crying hysterically in the face of danger.
I was speechless. It was just a mute. I immediately panicked. This could very well be Rainbow. She might even be worried that I would be in danger and follow me around.
I picked up a stick from the side and was about to move forward. This kind of crying was not something that anyone could cry out except for the mute. I was completely certain that this was the voice of Hong Xi. Was she in danger?
Just as I was about to go down, I felt a chill behind me. I turned my head like a bolt of lightning, but I didn't see anything. Just as I was about to let out a big breath of air, I suddenly saw a huge banana tree in front of me!
I remember when I came here, I didn't see any banana trees. Besides, it would be a miracle if there were banana trees growing in this kind of forest.
I was still hesitating when the crying sound under the forest became even louder, "Wuwuwu …" Worried, I turned around and ran away. I ran into a tree. Looking up, I saw that it was also a banana tree, though it was a bit smaller than the one behind.
I became anxious. This was clearly a pine tree, so I quickly turned on the flashlight and shone it on the banana tree. I wanted to see if there was something wrong with my eyes.
The flashlight shone on it, and I saw the words carved into the tree: Don't go over this tree!
I thought to myself, "Oh my god, I've met a ghost. I subconsciously ran towards the direction of the cry, thinking that Hong Xi is my senior sister, so she must have some tricks up her sleeve. If she cries, she might even fall down or something."
As we ran forward, the crying grew louder and louder, as if it were very close, as if it were right in front of me. However, after running past it, the crying seemed to have distanced itself!
But I could only continue to run, because there was movement behind me, as if someone was following me, causing a chill to run down my spine.
After running for a while, the forest in front of him seemed to be even thinner than before. With a glance, he could see the bright moonlight. With the moonlight shining on the ground, he could vaguely see the fog that was rising.
When I reached here, the crying still continued. However, there were no sounds coming from behind me. I remember that I can't turn back on the night road, so, without looking back, I walked straight ahead, following the direction of the crying.
When I arrived at the area where the moonlight was shining brightly, I finally saw the scenery clearly. It wasn't some white mist, but rather some tattered flower rings, soul summoning flags, etc.
This is a cemetery, and some old coffins are lying on the ground in a mess. It seems like there's been a long time, and the coffin lid is covered in rotten wood, especially those white flags. They wave in the wind as if there's someone standing there waving at me!
Other than the sound of crying, the surroundings were deathly still. It was a terrifying feeling!
I immediately realized that this must be the place Hong Xi said the lightning struck the old grave. The location of the coffin on the ground is indeed a little unoccupied!
Suddenly, the sound of crying grew louder. Ignoring the fear in my heart, I rushed forward. Under the moonlight, I forced myself to walk past the dark coffins, but from the looks of it, this graveyard wasn't small and I couldn't get out in a short period of time.
Finally, after running about 20 meters, I heard the sound of weeping in front of me. I ran to the location of the crying but realised that it was a coffin without a lid. However, the crying came from the inside of the coffin …
