Chapter 34 Wake Up
The night was dark, the stars were bleak, and the surrounding woods were filled with thick white mist.
Hua Lei dragged his staggering steps and looked around swaying all the way. There was a mess around, and a large number of books and clothes were scattered.
Hua Lei didn't know why he suddenly appeared here, and he couldn't remember many things.
He could only vaguely remember that because he was in poor health and often fell asleep, his grandfather went to the mountains to find some spiritual objects to treat him.
But he was too young and his grandfather was worried, so he never made a fortune. This time he was a little older and would leave by himself, so he finally brought him by his side and entered the foot of the green mountain together.
"grandfather?"
Hua Lei called out to the surroundings in a low voice, and there was no other response except for some echoes.
He looked around with some anxiety again and found that there was no one, except for the white fog and the messy items on the ground, there was only the dark forest that could not be seen clearly.
This was the first time he left his grandfather.
The sudden change caught him off guard.
He felt that he should feel panicked, but for some reason, he didn't have much fear in his heart.
Surprisingly, there is something new to this feeling.
He doesn't have to run around because of his grandfather's endless care, nor does he have to be afraid to be unable to keep up with his grandfather's pace because he thinks the little animals in the forest are cute.
"Although this will make me more free, I still have to find my grandfather, otherwise I will worry."
Hua Lei restrained his curiosity and freshness, and tried hard to recall his previous memories.
He walked along the path in the forest for a long time. For the young man, he didn't know how long this period had passed.
He didn't know if it was his own illusion, but he felt that the forest was so familiar to him as he walked.
He seemed to have seen even the small dirt slope beside the road in the forest.
This was his first time leaving the house, and the farthest distance in the past was just a ten-step range at the entrance of the shop.
In addition, he had a feeling that made him feel a little uneasy.
When he was walking, he always felt that there were many people around him looking at him and pointing at him, and he still whispered.
But after he stopped, he listened carefully, looked carefully, and found that all these feelings disappeared again.
After walking for a while, Hua Lei gradually became a little scared and panicked.
Because a figure flashed past him just now, I don’t know whether this figure was going to block his way or to lead him forward.
He felt that this figure looked so familiar, and this familiarity seemed to be engraved into his bones. He could feel that this figure was a person as important as his grandfather, but he couldn't remember who it was.
In this way, he bit the bullet and continued to walk towards the depths of the forest.
After a while, a child who sounded as young as him came from the depths of the woods in front of him.
He immediately ran over.
I saw a child about the same size as him squatting on the ground muttering to himself, muttering something.
The child has red hair and looks particularly dazzling in this dark forest.
Hua Lei ran to the child and stopped and asked, "Are you lost like me?"
The child raised his head, showed his pale and tired face, and shook his head and said, "No, I'll rest here and wait for my brother to come to find me."
After saying that, the child started drawing on the ground again.
Hua Lei looked along the child's fingers and saw blood constantly emitting from the child's fingertips, while the child used the blood on his fingertips to write a few identical words on the ground repeatedly.
However, for some reason, the blood dried up and disappeared as soon as these words were written.
Hua Lei looked at it for a long time but still couldn't recognize what the child wanted to write.
So, he asked in a low voice again, "Have you ever seen my grandfather?"
The child suddenly stopped the movements in his hand, stood up and stared at Hua Lei, and then said in disappointment: "Don't you like watching me write?"
Hua Lei said embarrassedly: "No, it's just that my grandfather and I are lost. I'm afraid he will worry about me."
The child pointed to the front and said, "You can go ahead and ask my uncle, maybe he can tell you."
After saying that, the child slowly squatted down and started writing it over and over again on the ground.
"Can you take me to find your uncle?" Hua Lei asked softly.
"No, I'm going to wait for my brother here." The child shook his head and refused Hua Lei's request while writing seriously.
"Okay, then I'll go there myself, thank you." Just as Hua Lei was about to turn around and leave, his light suddenly found that the child's feet were actually buried in the stones and soil, tightly pressed by the stones and soil.
He was a little creepy and even hesitated whether to move on.
But he had no other choice at this time, and it was unknown to stay here or go anywhere.
At least he knew ahead that the child's uncle was there.
So he chose to continue the previous one.
Not long after he left, the child slowly disappeared.
Only the densely written on the ground was left, "Wake up!"
After walking for a while, a faint light of fire appeared in front of him again.
The fire burned on a pile of strange stones, and next to the stone was a man. The man was sleepy and had a blue face. He was completely angry. He looked like a decaying stone sculpture, not like a living person.
The man was baking slowly on the fire with a big cake. After hearing Hua Lei's footsteps, he looked up at Hua Lei and said, "Come here and rest for a while."
Hua Lei walked over, bowed with his own tender movements, and then asked in a childish voice: "I want to find this uncle..."
"Your grandpa is not here." The man interrupted Hua Lei before he could finish his words.
"How do you know I'm looking for grandpa? How do you know that my grandpa is not here?" Although Hua Lei is still young, he is extremely vigilant.
A ugly smile appeared on the man's stiff face and said to Hua Lei: "Do you know where this is?"
"Isn't this the foot of the Qinggao Mountain outside the town?" Hua Lei was a little confused.
"No." The man shook his head and continued to bake his big cake.
"Impossible, did I walk into Qinggao Mountain?" Hua Lei suddenly became a little panicked. He had heard too many horror stories deep in Qinggao Mountain since he was a child.
"Not." The man shook his head unexpectedly again.
"Then where is this?" Hua Lei suddenly became a little confused. He vaguely felt in his mind that he really was not in Qinggaoshan, but he couldn't think of where he was.
The man sighed meaningfully and said, "I can't say too much to you. I can only tell you something you know. For example, why aren't you surprised that all the roads you have walked seem familiar, and why every time you come over, you feel someone pointing at you and whispering."
"I thought it was an illusion." Hua Lei was a little lost. Although he said that he thought it was an illusion, he could actually clearly sense that those are real existences.
The man showed a hint of helplessness on his stiff face and said, "Actually, this is your 95th time here."
"Ninety-five times? What does it mean?" Hua Lei asked in confusion.
"You can only guess, think, understand, if I say it, you will die, and then appear here for the 96th time." The man stopped baking the pancake in his hand.
Then he silently took out a pen gun from the trunk next to him, pointed it at Hua Lei with the pen gun and continued, "If you die again this time, you will only have the last three chances left. If you fail, you will really fail."
Hua Lei looked at the pen gun for some reason and felt a sense of familiarity in his heart, murmured: "Ninety-five times? If they fail, they fail? What does it mean?"
"I can't say it." The man used a pen gun to flip over the burning stone pestle, and then threw a piece of the previously roasted pancake towards Hua Lei.
Hua Lei couldn't react for a moment. When he wanted to reach out to take it, a big cake had already hit his chest.
"Mingxintai"
"Reincarnation Path"
“…”
"Sacred Learning Order"
"Hualinyuan"
“…”
This piece of cake suddenly had a start button, and a lot of words flashed through Hua Lei's mind.
"Who are you? Why do you tell me this? Where is my grandfather?" Hua Lei felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.
When the man was about to open his mouth and say something, countless black shadows suddenly came from all directions, wrapping the man tightly.
"Awake……"
Before the man could say anything, he was swallowed up by the shadow. As the man turned into a piece of sand and gravel, the shadow dissipated in all directions.
"Wake up?" Hua Lei watched the man being swallowed by the black shadow in front of him, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.
At this time, the fire-burning stone pestle and the straight pen gun around the man slowly turned into sand and gravel and fell to the ground.
Hua Lei squatted down with trembling body and picked up the big cake on the ground that was thrown towards him.
For some reason, he suddenly took a bite into the pancake.
Just as he bit him down, he suddenly saw dozens of broken-out self beside him, shouting loudly at him.
"wake up!"
"wake up!"
"wake up!"
"Wake up quickly!"
