Chapter 118: Trial
Looking at the third senior brother, I suddenly didn't know what to say.
Could it be that Master asked him to save me? But when I thought that the gap between myself and my senior brother was so big, I suddenly felt ashamed and died.
"Third Senior Brother, I'm ......"
"Explain and explain to Master, I'm just here to tell you something." The third senior brother unceremoniously interrupted me, took out a thin booklet from his bosom and handed it to me.
I was stunned at first, and quickly took it.
Inside was a piece of paper, but it was clear that it had been some years old. But what is introduced in it......
I feel more and more blindsided, is giving me these things so that I can continue to study? But......
"This is where you're going next, it's a week, get ready." After he said this, he went out of the house.
My brain crashed, this ...... What's going on? Where do I go? It won't be ...... Where is it written?
"Little monk!" I shouted, and the little monk immediately ran in.
……
"Now you know, right? The master wants to train you this time, who makes you always encounter such strange things. The little monk sighed helplessly and looked at me sympathetically.
"Oh my God...... "I almost want to cry without tears, Master is really ...... this time
But when I met Master, he was still the same indifferent as before, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with him.
But every time I see him, I feel as if there is an invisible pressure on me, and there is nothing ...... on Master
"You're here?" He slowly opened his eyes and stopped the beads in his hand.
I quickly nodded and knelt respectfully on the futon in front of me.
"Then you also know what it means for the teacher to let you come."
I nodded again, "Master, you are asking me to go to the trial, and then I have the ability to protect myself......" I said embarrassedly, if I don't want to cause more trouble to Master, I'd better go again.
But the little monk also said that this place is very dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life, and the gods will not be able to save me at that time.
So that's where I'm most struggling, do I really want to go?
"But I ......"
"It's up to you to decide whether to go or not." Master said lightly.
I was a little entangled for a while, I thought that Master was here to persuade me to go, but I didn't expect to let me decide for myself.
Look at the way he looks...... I don't seem to have any opinion on whether I want to go or not, but ...... When he said that, I was too embarrassed to refuse.
"Then I...... Go ahead! I gritted my teeth and nodded firmly, Master will not harm me, I still know this very well.
Besides, listen to the little monk...... Master came back from outside to save me, and he only came to save me after telling the third senior brother, so ...... I have no doubts about Master's decision at all.
Let me see the world, there is still a need for this.
After I finished speaking, although I couldn't see any change in Master's expression, he looked much more approachable than before.
"Then let's go today, your third senior brother will take you there." After the master said this lightly, he continued to practice silently.
Although I felt a sigh in my heart, I still silently withdrew.
Who would have thought of going today, otherwise I would have to struggle for a while......
But now I can't retreat, and the third senior brother is waiting for me outside, obviously hearing what I just said inside.
"Let's go." He didn't say anything else, but I could tell he was quite satisfied.
……
I only brought my own bones and a few life-saving paper talismans, and I was not allowed to bring anything else.
"Go down this road, it's the Wild Woods, be careful with yourself, I'll appear in a week, and your mission is to live." The third senior brother patted me on the shoulder.
I swallowed nervously, and my palms began to sweat.
I was already nervous to death before I went, so after I went......
There is no way, since I have already agreed, I can only go down the path, and I can't see the shadow of my senior brother after walking for a while.
The path behind me seemed to disappear, and I could only see a few meters under my feet, and the rest seemed to be all hidden in the dense woods.
It's said to be an Arbaric Forest, but the trees here don't look like Arbaric trees, and even though it's winter, many of the trees here still have green leaves and look vibrant, but ...... But there is a strange feeling everywhere.
You can still have such a view in this kind of weather...... It's really weird.
But I could only go forward, and I didn't look carefully at the pamphlet that my brother gave me before, but only glanced at it.
It's inhabited, like a secluded outdoor garden, just ...... It's completely different from what you've learned in books.
I kept walking on and on, passing by exactly the same woods, and I soon got lost here.
But it was empty, there was no one, and my phone was taken away and I couldn't call for help.
But this is completely different from the terrifying scene that the little monk said, where is there a figure here, let alone a ghost!
Walking and walking, before I knew it, it was dark, and at the temperature of this weather, if I couldn't find a place to shelter from the wind, I would freeze to death at night.
Strange as it may see, at night I don't even see a little shelter from the wind and rain, and tomorrow when it is dawn there are leaves everywhere......
But at night it seemed to disappear all at once, and only dry branches remained.
Click-
Suddenly, there was a sound of a tree branch being cut in front of me, and my heart kicked in my throat, and I immediately froze and did not dare to move.
Staring straight in the direction where the voice had just come from, my palms were all covered with sweat, clutching my bones tightly.
If anything...... This thing could still save my life......
Rustle - rustle –
The voice seemed to be getting closer and closer, coming in my direction, and my heart was beating faster......
Gradually, there seemed to be a little light over there......
The shadow of a person slowly emerged, and my whole body stiffened with fright......
"Who are you?" But when the shadow appeared in front of me, I was immediately stunned.
An old man* was a few meters away from me, frowning at me, carrying a kerosene lamp in his hand, which glowed dimly, but his shadow could be clearly seen in the light......
I don't know if I should breathe a sigh of relief, but luckily he's not a ghost......
"I ...... I accidentally got lost...... "I really got lost, I couldn't find the southeast and northwest at all...... It's been just a day and I feel like I can't hold on.
"Lost?" His expression was even more strange, and he looked at me a little more thoughtfully.
After looking at it for a moment, he seemed to nod.
"How did you get here?" He still hadn't let his guard down on me completely.
"I was looking for someone, but I didn't find someone and came here...... Where the hell is this...... "My voice trembled slightly, not pretending at all, but ...... Now it's so cold that my teeth are starting to chatter.
"You're an out-of-tlander?" He asked.
I nodded quickly, this is the first time I've been to this ghost place, if it weren't for Master......
He seemed to think about it for a while before he sighed helplessly.
Suddenly, he walked up to me and put his hand on my neck!
I was startled, and my heart, which had been put down, suddenly lifted! Is he going to ...... Killing people can't be killed!? I didn't do anything!
But he only stayed for half a minute, and then took his hand away.
I touched my neck in fear, what was he going to do just now? Are you tempting me?
"Let's go, I'll take you to my house first." He seemed to believe me, turned and walked on.
I was stunned for a moment, and then quickly followed! Now that I've finally found a living person, I can't afford to lose it!
……
His home seems to be not far away, but I still haven't found it after a long time, it's just a little shabby-looking cabin, but it's better for me than anything now!
When I entered the house, I felt much warmer, and the wood burning in the room gave me a warm glow, which I had never felt for a moment before.
A fire can give people hope for life, and I finally realized it.
"I'll send you out early tomorrow morning." He handed me a glass of water and said.
I immediately chuckled in my heart, my week's trial had just begun, how could I be sent out!?
Master would definitely be unhappy, especially when I thought of the serious face of the third senior brother, I shuddered in my heart.
"That...... I was actually kicked out by my family...... That's why I wanted to go to my friends, but now I lost my phone...... Can you take me in for a few days......" I started making up a random reason, not knowing if it would work.
The old man looked at me strangely, not knowing what was going on in his mind.
I was also very nervous, and I wondered if he would reject me outright.
"That's all I can do for a week at most." After half a ring, he said lightly, by the way, he threw me something.
When I saw it, it was a white cloth!?
What does this mean? I was blindsided for a moment, this is to make me ...... Commit suicide?
"Arms outstretched." He slowly sat down next to me, with a lot of tools in hand, and looked ...... Like a medical tool?
I stretched out my left arm in disbelief, only to see him slowly put a thin layer of plaster on my arm!
My brain crashed in a split second, and I didn't break a bone...... What is this for?
"Find a reason for you to stay here, a week at most, or I can't help it." He seemed to see my suspicion and explained as he bandaged my arm over and over again.
