Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Tempering of the Ghost Realm (I)
There are no ghosts in the ghost realm!
Maybe it's because the environment here is so bad that even ghosts can't live there. The mountains and forests covered in clouds and mist www.biquge.info are eerie and terrifying, and this is a place abandoned by the Creator. The track is inaccessible, and even if there is an occasional visit, it is just a walk around the periphery.
For thousands of years, except for some adaptable poisonous insects and beasts, even plants have refused to grow here, and only some mosses are scattered on the banks of mountain cliffs and streams, like scars.
Fifteen years ago, there were people here. First they built a house outside the forest, and then gradually people entered the forest, most of them children, and I don't know how many people were buried here.
Twelve of us and twenty-four of the second echelon, led by our father-in-law, arrived at the Ghost Domain on the evening of the tenth day after the trials. Although we have made a thousand conjectures in our hearts about this formidable and longing place, we will inevitably be shocked by the young hearts that truly see the true face of the ghost realm.
We didn't have any idea of what was going to happen, but we had a vague sense that it was going to be an extremely difficult process.
The ghost realm is mysterious and terrifying in the mist. Wood and stone symbolically form a boundary. On the dirt road behind the boundary stood an old man in gray robes with a blank face, like a rock.
The father-in-law bowed his hand and said very respectfully: "The seniors have been waiting for a long time, so these children will ask the seniors to train them, and the juniors will come back to bother them after three months." ”
The old man rolled his eyes at the dead fish: "What seniors and juniors are all, I don't torture these babies, do you stay and torture." "The words are empty and there is not the slightest emotion.
"Bunnies, prepare to begin your journey to hell, and before you enter the Ghost Realm, you must remember two things: first, you must obey my words unconditionally, and second, do not treat yourself as a human being, like a wild beast to have a chance to live. ”
The gray-robed old man's voice sounded like a walking corpse without the slightest emotion. After saying these words, with a wave of his hand, he limped in front of him, and he turned out to be a cripple. A group of children did not dare to snicker and whisper, and followed closely on the rugged mountain road.
After walking for half an hour, I turned into a mountain recess, and some houses made of wood appeared in front of me, and the layout was staggered and matched with each other. In the deep night where torches could not be dissolved from three or five feet away, there were figures shaking from time to time, but there was no sound of speaking.
The old man in the gray robe took the ponies to a row of wooden houses to the south, and said, "This will be your dwelling from now on, six people in a room, and see how many of you rabbit cubs can live for five years." ”
Then the gray-robed old man pointed to the thatched roof on the opposite side that was exposed on the slope, and said: "There is a canteen, under normal circumstances, chicken, duck, fish, steamed buns, noodles, everything, you can eat to your heart's content." Are you feeling sleepy and hungry right now?"
The pony they sat in the carriage for a day, and just walked for half a day on the mountain road, the child was already hungry and tired, but he was shocked by the old man, and did not dare to show the slightest bit, and now when he heard the elder ask this, they all thought that they could eat and rest, and they were busy claiming that it was.
The gray-robed old man said: "Very good, just should be refreshed, now run ten laps along this road, the last five run three laps, and those who are lazy and deceitful will all lose one foot." ”
The road is not good, and it is night, and it is not easy to walk, let alone run. However, the old man's last words obviously had a deterrent effect, no one dared to be lazy, fell and got up, and ran barefoot with his shoes off.
It took more than an hour to complete ten laps, and the last five were still struggling from exhaustion. Pony and the others fall to the ground, leaving only half a life.
The gray-robed old man seemed to forget that the ponies had not eaten dinner yet, and sent them back to the cabin, so that on the first night in the ghost realm, they stayed up until dawn in hunger and cold.
To be precise, before dawn they were urged to get up for morning exercises, the same number of laps, the same road, but there were a few more whip-wielding overseers along the way, and if they fell slowly, the long whip would fall on their bodies like poisonous snakes, with their skin open and flesh blurred.
After two high-intensity trainings, they had their first meal in the Ghost Domain.
Then there is training, physical fitness, strength, endurance, all kinds of training for thousands of years, except for some adaptable poisonous insects and beasts, even plants refuse to grow here, only some moss is scattered on the side of the mountain cliff and stream, like a scar.
