UT-13 (Secret Realm) treasure

I lay on the bed, rolling around.

It is said that I can be discharged from the hospital today, and before returning to work, I can finally enjoy this sense of relaxation.

The whole body relaxes, the vision fades into blur, the surrounding room goes blank, and then a new shape and contour - the ward completely changes and becomes a completely different scene.

The first thing that catches your eye is the clear blue sky.

The dazzling sunlight bathes the whole body.

The wind blowing in your face carries the strong aroma of red fruits.

I looked left and right in amazement.

Now stand on a cliff with both feet.

Behind is the forest, with dense trees, abundant grass, and the singing of birds and flowers.

In front of you is a cliff, and at the foot of the cliff there is a series of spectacular ancient buildings.

I was so surprised that I didn't react for a moment.

This is a landscape that can only exist in a world without poisonous fog!

- The sky, blue, clear sky, I haven't seen it in a long time.

A wonderful emotion arose, and at the same time a subtle vertigo was created - a feeling of discomfort caused by not being exposed for a long time.

But I didn't panic, but I was quite calm, and I was used to taking it as a fantasy that I usually saw, and the strange thing is that it feels so real, and it's completely different from the illusion.

I didn't even know how I got here, my eyes widened and I began to look around curiously.

Suddenly, I noticed a person standing next to me—this person was the girl in a white dress who looked exactly like me.

She didn't suddenly disappear from me after she appeared this time.

I was about to ask, but she suddenly spoke first:

"This is Shambhala, the Pure Land that can only be reached by practitioners who transcend the spirit."

- Strange, how does she know what I want to ask?

She walked straight down the cliff, looked back at me, and said, "Why are you stunned?" Come on. ”

"Oh, okay!" I hurried along.

- Is this a fantasy? It feels different than usual.

I pinched my face and it hurt a little.

"This is not a dream, this is the place where your spirit transcends the flesh and truly arrives." The girl told me.

"And how did I get here?" I asked her.

"It's hard to say." The girl replied as she walked.

Confused, I followed the girl down to the foot of the hill and into the gate of the town.

The town's buildings are made of solid rock blocks and come in a variety of styles.

The pedestrians on the road are dressed in the costumes of the ancient people, and the style of clothing is also distinctive, ranging from Western European robes to East Asian linen, like a melting pot of many civilizations.

They spoke a language I hadn't heard before, but it was amazing how I could understand it.

"You don't have to worry about language barriers here, you can communicate with them in a language you know." The girl's words came and interrupted my thoughts.

My gaze returned to the girl leading the way.

There are really mysteries about her as a person.

Occasionally, she would pop up next to me, strike up a conversation with me, and then immediately disappear without a trace, as if she had never existed. I always thought she was my illusionary creation.

But now that it's close at hand, it doesn't seem to be.

I would like to take this opportunity to get to know her.

"Na, that, that ......" I trotted over to her and asked, "I want to ask for your name." I'm calling for my life. What's your name? ”

The girl stopped, looked back at me, looked at me with a cold look in her eyes, and replied, "I want you to take care of it." ”

I said, "But I don't know if it's a good name." ”

The girl replied, "It's all right." She continued on her way.

Seeing her so cold look, I was a little shocked.

Unable to ask, I tried to find something else: "Where are you taking me now?" ”

"I don't know, I'm also a little confused."

"Huh?"

The girl stopped in front of a street sign.

The map on the street sign marks the terrain of every nearby place.

The girl said, "You can go anywhere here, and there are adventures wherever you go." Where do you want to go? ”

I replied in a low voice, "I want to go back......"

The girl looked at me, "Huh." Is this leaving? ”

I said, "I'm going to be discharged today, and I don't want to waste time." ”

"It's okay, it won't be delayed." The girl pointed to a hillside at the far edge of the eastern edge of the map, "Well, I'll take you to this place." ”

There are several paths on the hillside. One of the roads is different from the others, the smallest and shortest, with many red runes painted on both sides of the road.

I couldn't help but point to the trail and say, "It looks so funny." ”

"That's—that's it." The girl said.

"Ah, is that okay?"

"Don't you want to try it?" The girl asked.

I nodded, excited, and followed her off.

After rounding a few town streets, we finally reached the foot of that hillside.

The road to the top of the mountain is not steep, and the flat road is carved with footprints that have been blown by the wind and rain, and it is obvious that many people have stepped on it.

"Be careful." - The girl said this and walked forward. I followed closely.

The sun in the sky was getting stronger, and we were sweating profusely.

We stopped to rest for a while, and suddenly we saw a man walking down the hillside in front of us.

He greeted us and, as he passed me, muttered, "The best shortcut is a long detour." ”

I looked at his back as he went down the hill and wondered what he said.

"There are a lot of weirdos here, don't pay attention to them. Keep walking. The girl cried.

We continued on our way, and as we walked up the mountainside, the road was even narrower, narrow enough to accommodate only one person to crawl sideways.

And I also saw a strange phenomenon: beside the mountainside, there was a humanoid giant made of stones asleep.

I was so cold that I almost couldn't stand on my feet.

For a moment, I seemed to understand what the man had just said, and why there were so many red runes on this road on the map.

The girl gestured to me not to wake it up.

I looked at the girl with a blaming look: Why didn't you say that there was such a dangerous thing earlier?

The girl sneered.

We clung to the uneven rock wall and crept past.

But by chance, as we passed in front of the giant, the sky changed from sunny to cloudy in a blink of an eye, and suddenly a white light flashed in the sky, making a rumbling sound, and then the raindrops of beans fell rapidly, and they beat the mountains and forests, splashing white mist.

The stone giant woke up when he heard the thunderstorm, and his eyes with a strong sense of pressure were up to us, and they were so depressed that they were breathless.

It roared as if it was angry that someone had trespassed on its territory.

The mountain cracked in an instant. The road on the mountainside cracked directly, shattered into stones, and collapsed down the cliff.

Luckily, I reacted quickly, rolled and rolled backwards, and retreated to the road surface that had not collapsed.

But the tumbling was too violent, and the pendant around his neck flew out without noticing.

When I came back to my senses, I saw that the girl in front of me had not run out of the collapsed road in time, and was standing on the gravel as the stones fell.

And her left arm was pierced by a sharp stone thorn, making it difficult to move.

Behind is a pendant that is about to fall off a cliff, and in front is a girl whose life hangs by a thread.

I gritted my teeth and rushed down in the direction where the girl had fallen, stepping on the rocks to reach her, my right hand holding her tightly, and my left hand clutching the wild rattan that grew vertically on the cliff.

Just slide down.

Finally managed to stabilize his balance, and his feet luckily stepped on a rock raised from the cliff.

When he loosened the rattan, he found that the skin of his left palm had been worn away by the strong friction, and the dirty blood stained the whole arm, and the wound was numb.

A sharp pain followed.

"Uh, hmm! …… Ahhhhhh......h "I fell to my stomach, curled up and trying to cover my wounds.

It hurts...... It hurts!

It was probably the first time I'd ever experienced such a sharp pain—but it was only a tear on my hands, and I had never burned in a fire before.

Just then, the slow-moving Golem swung his fist at us.

A thunderbolt suddenly fell from the sky, shattering the golem with a "boom".

"It's all right! Let me see! The girl pulled out the spike of her arm, leaned over, and wrapped her hands around my left hand.

Then I saw her palms glow blue, and the light lasted for a few moments before disappearing.

The pain in my left hand gradually disappeared.

When the girl let go of her hand, I was surprised to find that my wound had healed!
