Chapter 220: Great Immortal
At this moment, in the middle of a deep mountain and old forest, this place is inaccessible, and often only some beasts and birds will pass by here, if it is human, even experienced hunters do not dare to set foot in these places easily. After all, after wandering in these places for a long time, I have become more and more aware of a crucial truth, the deeper the forest, the more likely it is to encounter terrifying things.
The horror mentioned here refers not only to animals such as tigers and beasts, but also to some monsters that are difficult for ordinary people to understand!
After all, after a long time, even stones may become essences, not to mention those living things, maybe when you walk in front and carefully watch out for those poisonous snakes and beasts in the grass, the towering tree you just passed by may be slowly stretching vines under your feet to weave a net of heaven and earth, intending to have a "real hunt"......
And even more so in the middle of this mountain forest.
It has long been rumored that there are ghosts living in this place shrouded in mist, some people have said that it is a fox fairy, others say it is a ghost, and there are different opinions, but no one has really seen it.
I just vaguely remember that if someone goes deep into the depths of the forest, they will probably be trapped in the fog, and if they are not careful, they may be trapped there and never get out! Some people say that they were tricked by the naughty little fox fairy, or it may be that the ghost hit the wall and was blinded by the ghost, in short, there is no conclusion.
But if you bow down three times in the depths of the woods, raise your head and continue to walk in the direction of the bow, you will soon find that you have reached the edge of the forest, and it is amazing!
Therefore, some old people believe that this mountain forest may be guarded by mountain gods, although there are not too many people who believe in it, so there is no so-called custom.
However, it seems to be a convention, and everyone does not dare to go deep into the woods for a long time, for fear that one day the "great immortal" will be in a bad mood, and he may never be able to get out.
Today, however, this long-untouched realm is a rare welcome for the first guest.
It was a thin and slightly shabby young man, with a thin body, a haggard face, and a pair of still immature eyes full of panic and uneasiness, although he tried to keep himself going, he still looked back from time to time in fear, for fear that there would be some monster behind him.
"Fox Fairy-sama...... Kitsune-sama? ”
Gentle footsteps rustle over the nearly rotten fallen leaves on the ground.
The young man's voice trembled slightly, calling softly, and there was some contradiction in his heart.
If you are afraid that in this kind of dead and lonely place, if a ghostly voice suddenly comes out and answers you, then you are afraid that you will be scared to death! But he is holding on to the last possible hope, hoping that the "great immortals" such as fox fairies or mountain gods that the old people say really exist, and they can listen to his prayers.
If he wasn't really desperate, how could he have the courage to come to such a ghost place alone?
What disappointed him in his heart was that as he went deeper and deeper, the fog around him became thicker and thicker, almost to the point where he couldn't see things three meters away, but there was never a so-called fox fairy to respond to him.
Even in this ghost place, not even a single wild thing can be seen, and the chirping of birds and insects can only be heard from a distance for a long time, as if it is truly isolated from the world, and the living creatures here are only themselves.
The air was filled with the smell of the earthy smell peculiar to the woods and the stale smell of the trees, and the thick mist made the boy a little breathless, and his heart was terrified.
He didn't know if he was on the wrong path, and he didn't know if the fox fairy didn't want to take care of him at all, as if everything he was doing now was just in vain, and this inexplicable feeling of powerlessness and absurdity made his heart palpitate and despair.
Walking more and more tired, his legs were as heavy as lead, the young man gasped, looked around, but his heart could not help but surge with a strong sadness, his eyes were red, and he knelt on the ground with a "plop", and kowtowed three times towards the deeper part of the woods. Although the soil is soft, its forehead is still red, and the soil and leaves on the ground are stuck between the hair, which shows its strength and sincerity.
After kowtowing, he didn't look up, but continued to bend down and choked "fox...... Kitsune-sama! I don't know if you're looking here, or maybe you don't want to see me at all. But I was really desperate, and I was really unwilling to go back like this. ”
"My mother is now seriously ill and lying in bed, but the doctor who spent all the money can only say that my mother is hopeless, and can only wait for death......"
"My dad went before I was alive. My mother has worked hard to raise me since I was a child, I have suffered many grievances and white eyes, and I have never been wronged by my life, as a son of man, I will keep everything in my heart, and I will never dare to forget ......"
"Now, how can I watch my mother go like this?!"
"I also know that there is no good thing in the world, so I am willing to exchange my life for my mother's serious illness! I am willing to pay all the costs, just ask Daxian to give me a chance! ”
As soon as the words fell, he knocked his head on the ground three more times, causing a mess on his face.
However, for a long time, no voice was heard, and there was still a dead silence around them.
His heart sank gradually, and the last glimmer of hope seemed to be dashed, and an indescribable sense of despair welled up in his heart.
He stiffened his body and slowly got up, and when he was about to get up and go back in despair, he suddenly heard a soft sigh from a woman in the distance: "There is a waterhole five hundred meters to the southeast, and there is a blue fruit growing at the bottom of the pool. ”
The young man was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed ecstasy, and he hurriedly turned his head to look around, but the voice seemed to come from all directions of the mist, so that he couldn't tell where the other party was.
He had no choice but to kneel down in the original direction and bow three times, "Thank you, Daxian!" Thank you Daxian! I just don't know what the price is? If it were my life, I would only like to see my mother get better after taking the fruit......"
"No need, but remember, don't do such a dangerous thing again." The woman's voice faded away, leaving the slightly stunned boy in place.
……
At the end of the mist, among the many towering giant trees, a fresh and elegant bamboo house is standing.
If it were placed elsewhere, this bamboo house would be just ordinary, nothing special. However, in this kind of place where no one will go deep at all, it seems a little strange and abrupt.
A young girl in an emerald green dress was squatting in front of the courtyard, reaching out and gently caressing the herbs that she had planted with her own hands, and sighed lightly, "I'm really sorry, I'm moving again." ”
