The candle was still in style, and under the faint light, the old man was reading the book in his hand on the table. After reading this book, Dongfang Xue got up and went to change to another one, but when he came to the bookshelf and put the book in his hand back, he looked at the bookshelf in front of him, and then looked at the books in the entire ghost cave, and a stream of tears flowed out of his eyes.

Dongfang Xue walked in the ghost cave, with a rickety back, walking step by step in the dark ghost cave, looking for this book, touching that book......

Dongfang Xue returned to her chair, stared at the still burning candlelight on the empty table, and then lay on the table and cried, the 300,000 ancient books were finally finished......

Dongfang Xue's body kept trembling, and the bitterness in her heart had already burst into tears in her eyes, flowing on the table. Just as Dongfang Xue was crying about the case, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Disciple! Sure enough, it's the heir I fancied, extraordinary......"

Dongfang Xue raised her head and searched left and right: "Who? who is there?"

"Do you know how many years you've been here?" asked an unfamiliar voice in the cave.

"One hundred and twenty years, or one hundred and thirty years?" I can't remember clearly...... Dongfang Xue thought for a while, and then sat back on the chair and replied.

"Wrong, all wrong, you have been studying here for four hundred and fifty-two years......" An unfamiliar voice replied to Dongfang Xue.

"Four hundred and fifty-two years, four hundred and fifty-two years, four hundred ......" Dongfang Xue muttered in her mouth, her eyes were empty and she said to herself: "Four hundred and fifty-two years...... The old days and the earth have long since turned into the white bones of the years......"

Dongfang Xue raised her head and looked around the ghost sky and asked weakly, "Four hundred and fifty-two years...... Even if the disciples go out, what's the use, what's the point of this life?"

"Hahaha......" The unfamiliar voice burst out laughing, and then said reproachfully: "You little thing, how can you talk so old-fashioned, the outside world is colorful and beautiful, and you still need your part! How can you be so discouraged?"

"Master, you set this test, which is enough for the apprentice to stop here for 500 years...... 500 years...... The apprentice dreams every day, and the scene in the dream is like yesterday's ......" Dongfang Xue said with a long voice, then paused and continued: "But you see that the apprentice is already like this now, even if he goes out, what is the use of it to the world......"

"What's wrong with your appearance? I look pretty strong, it's just ...... It's just a little thinner than when you first arrived......" said in a leisurely unfamiliar voice.

"I'm not just emaciated! I'm visibly dizzy at this point, and look at my old arms and legs...... Hey!hey!hey!" When Dongfang Xue looked at her body, she saw that her old body had already returned to the appearance of a teenager, and the skin on her arms and legs was like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, Dongfang Xue was so shocked that she couldn't speak......

"Hahahaha......" The voice in the air laughed, and then explained to Dongfang Xue: "This blessed land ghost cave is a secret realm, you have already experienced the role of this secret realm, this time you have read 300,000 books, and it has taken more than three years to ......"

After listening to the master's explanation, Dongfang Xue still pinched her face in disbelief, and only after feeling the pain did she determine what was happening in front of her. Dongfang Xue knelt on the ground and bang! bang!

"Master Xie will explain the apprentice's doubts......" After speaking, Dongfang Xue knelt on the ground and cried, the past 500 years of studying seemed to be just yesterday.

"Okay, okay, you get ready, and then there's a stone door behind the back of the bookshelf, and when you're ready, you can go in, and I'll wait for you inside." ”

Dongfang Xue followed the master's instructions and came to the back bookshelf, and a stone door did appear behind it, but she hadn't found this stone door when she put the book just now......

"Master, the apprentice has been here for so long, and I don't know your name......" Dongfang Xue was about to walk into the stone gate, and then suddenly stopped and asked.

"Come in, I'm running out of time, I'll tell you before I'm completely gone. The master's voice replied to Dongfang Xue.

Dongfang Xue nodded and walked in, this stone gate was the same as the one Dongfang Xue had entered the ghost cave. As soon as Dongfang Xue entered it, she felt dizzy for a while, and then she lost consciousness.

When Dongfang Xue woke up again, because he had been in the dark environment of the ghost cave for a long time, he couldn't open his eyes that were pierced by the light, and when Dongfang Xue opened his eyes after adapting to the light, he was suddenly stunned by the world in front of him. I saw a big sun in the sky here, how many years, how many years Dongfang Xue has not seen the sun, although the sun is dazzling, but Dongfang has been staring at the sun in the sky for a long time, this is as if it has been reborn in the days that have died, this is the sunrise of hope.

After Dongfang Xue was in a good mood, he began to look at the world, only to see that this world was red and green, and the stream was gurgling into the distance, it was really a scene of paradise, just when Dongfang Xue was obsessed with the world in front of him, the voice of the master in the sky came again.

"Good boy, this place is called Ghost Forest, in this world, you are no different from ordinary people, you need to eat and drink, and you will be in danger of your life here, the teacher will explain so much to you, and the rest is up to you...... I'm waiting for you in the middle of the Ghost Forest!" the voice disappeared.

"Master, where is the center of the Ghost Forest, and how should the apprentices go?" Dongfang Xue asked, but after asking, there was no answer, Dongfang Xue continued to ask: "Master, is the master still there......?"

After a long time, the master's voice didn't sound again, it seemed that the master was really gone, Dongfang Xue raised his hands and stretched his body, and then Dongfang Xue walked along the creek to the deep place of the ghost.

Soon after walking, Dongfang Xue encountered a lake, Dongfang Xue has not taken a bath for more than three years, at this time to see such a beautiful water, suddenly happy to bloom, Dongfang Xue took off his clothes and jumped into the lake, the lake water is not so cold under the sun, Dongfang Xue plunged into the water, playing in the water, all the bitterness of the past three years seems to have melted into the water at this time, and then dispersed.

After Dongfang Xue came out of a bath, she washed her clothes again, washed them quickly and dried them on the branches, and then lay naked on the big rocks by the water, closed her eyes and basked in the sun.

Just as Dongfang Xue was leisurely basking in the sun, Dongfang Xue didn't notice it, and the crisis was approaching step by step......

As early as when Dongfang Xue jumped into the water to take a bath, it alarmed the overlord in this lake. In the water, a black shadow like a big snake was hovering in the water, quietly swimming towards the big rock where Dongfang Xue was. Dongfang Xue was still basking in the sun calmly on the big rocks, basking in the sun again and again while recalling what the master said, not to mention, Dongfang Xue really felt hungry at this moment......

I remembered that when I was in the Oriental Palace, my mother often cooked to make osmanthus cakes to eat, and my father really couldn't eat them, as soon as I heard that the young lady was cooking, my father ran to my grandfather to take refuge, and finally every time Dongfang Xue choked tears and ate a whole plate of osmanthus cakes under the supervision of my mother.

Dongfang Xue smiled happily while reminiscing, and stopped laughing and laughing, Dongfang Xue looked at the sky. The food that was difficult to eat at the beginning is now no longer available, and it can no longer be eaten...... That taste, existed, existed in the memories of Dongfang Xue......

Just as Dongfang Xue was reminiscing about the past, suddenly the lake trembled, and then a giant python rose up in the lake, opened its bloody mouth, and attacked Dongfang Xue.

Dongfang Xue noticed the abnormal movement, and immediately looked around vigilantly, and when she saw the giant python rising into the sky, Dongfang Xue was suddenly frightened and didn't wear any clothes, so she hid aside. The python pounced into the air, then reversed course, and then struck towards the eastern snow.

Seeing this, Dongfang Xue hurriedly took her clothes and ran barefoot, and at noon on a sunny day, a naked teenager shuttled through the dense forest, and behind the teenager a giant python more than 30 meters long kept pursuing......

Dongfang Xue didn't know how long she had been running, until she woke up, Dongfang Xue looked back, and saw that the giant python didn't chase after her, so Dongfang Xue hurriedly sat on the ground and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

After resting for a while, Dongfang Xue relieved herself, and then put on the clothes that were not dry in her hand, and as soon as she put on her clothes, Dongfang Xue's stomach sounded, Dongfang Xue patted her stomach and walked to the side of the stream.

Dongfang Xue was hungry at this time, after a bump, he was really hungry at the moment with his chest against his back, and when he came to the side of the stream, Dongfang Xue was looking in the water, and he didn't know if there were any fish in the water of this secret realm, if there were, he could temporarily catch two to fill his stomach. Under the search of Dongfang Xue, I finally saw a small fish in the water, and there are small fish and big fish.

Dongfang Xue pulled her trouser legs to her knees, then jumped down the stream, groped under the stones in the creek one by one, after working for half an hour, Dongfang Xue didn't catch a big fish, but the small fish caught a lot, Dongfang Xue sighed and then walked ashore, looking at the small fish she put in the puddle on the shore.

Dongfang Xue looked at the fish and fell into deep thought, the fish is there, but she doesn't have a fire...... There are no fruit trees here, so how can I eat raw fish?

Dongfang Xue walked around the surrounding forest, not even a bird's nest, Dongfang Xue looked at the birds chirping on the trees, and her heart was full of questions, don't these birds have a home and don't lay eggs?

Going around and around, Dongfang Xue returned to the side of the stream, the small fish in the puddle were swimming one by one, at this time it was already dark, Dongfang Xue closed his eyes and thought to himself, I have survived five hundred years, what's wrong with eating raw fish......

Dongfang Xue closed her eyes and put her hand into the puddle, touched a fish, and then put it in her mouth without thinking about it......

Time passed quickly, this day Dongfang Xue did not take a step deeper towards the ghost forest, when she finished eating, Dongfang Xue vomited many times, every time she watched the fish she had just eaten being spit out by herself, Dongfang Xue was unwilling and then walked to the side of the creek to find out the fish and continue to eat. Finally, after Dongfang Xue got used to the sour taste, the fishy smell of fish, Dongfang Xue patted her stomach, found a big tree and climbed up, lying on the coarser texture, Dongfang Xue stared at the starry sky and fell asleep.

The boy on the trunk of the tree, drooling from the corners of his mouth, smiled in his sleep. What did the boy dream about? Did he dream of the unpalatable osmanthus cake......
