The group of people left the snake statue. This time Nan Zi'er decided not to follow them anymore to avoid being laughed at by them all the time. Besides, she felt extremely bored.
After reaching the top of the mountain and the temple, she quietly decided to find an opportunity to run away soon, so she ran to the temple without thinking.
As soon as I entered the temple, I found that many students were also worshiping gods inside. Naturally, there was a lot of incense inside, and people were coming and going. There was actually a monk knocking on wooden fish beside him. Amidst the curl of cigarettes, the sound of wooden fish, and the sound of chanting sutras, it made people feel...
Feeling a heavy feeling in my heart, I put away all my emotions and looked seriously at the tall, solemn and mysterious Buddha statue.
Naturally, she did not dare to make a mistake, so she quickly put away her carelessness, came to the Buddha devoutly, and sincerely went forward and bowed three times and kowtowed nine times.
When she got up piously and wanted to leave, she was surprised to find that at some point, an old monk was standing next to her, looking her up and down with his deep eyes without saying a word.
"Well, I have met the master." She was startled, but in a Buddhist resort, she did not dare to make any mistakes. Naturally, she bowed respectfully to the old monk and then said.
The old monk suddenly smiled at her and looked at her while saying Dharma words. Then he said: "I have seen the snake queen."
Snake Queen? What is this? After hearing this, she felt confused. What happened to this old monk? He spoke so strangely. "Um, I don't know what you are talking about?" she stammered.
"It doesn't matter if I don't know. We are destined to meet each other today." The old monk didn't mind her words at all and still said kindly, his eyes becoming very soft.
At this time, Nan Zi'er had nothing to say. The master had already said this, so she didn't dare to ask any further questions. She just waited quietly for his teachings.
Sure enough, the old monk seemed to have seen through her meaning, and he was still smiling, shaking his head for a while, sighing for a while, and smiling happily for a while.
At this time, Nan Zi'er couldn't understand what was wrong with him, but she didn't dare to make a mistake and stood obediently waiting for his lesson.
"Today, the Snake Queen returns. Let everything take its course. Don't worry or be afraid. It's fate and fate. Everything goes with fate and everything follows fate." The old monk said these words softly, looked at her deeply, and said gracefully.
Turn around and leave.
She was left dumbfounded as she watched the old monk walk into the temple and disappear. Master, master, what did he just say? What fate, what fate? Why couldn't she understand at all?
She thought hard and didn't understand what the old monk said. She wanted to catch up and ask for more information, but when she saw the words "Buddhist Powerful Place" and the Buddha looking down at the people with a smile, her courage suddenly disappeared.
After leaving the temple, she avoided Zhou Zhou and others and headed down the mountain road alone. As she walked, the originally open road gradually became narrower. And as she walked, she suddenly found that the road she was walking on became increasingly narrow.
The road became narrower and narrower, and in the end there were only woods and no road at all.
She was startled and shocked. She didn't know why this was happening. If there was no road ahead, why didn't the management office of Snake Mountain post a notice on the way here? And if there was no road, why didn't it just go up to this point?
Once you have repaired it, it is an evil practice.
While muttering to herself, she turned around and prepared to go back along the way she came. She didn't have the courage to take such a path that no one had ever taken before and no one would come after.
However, when she turned around, she couldn't help but be frightened by the scene in front of her. This, this, what was going on? There was a cement road behind her, and it was quite big. Why?
Now it is gone? There are only woods, without any trace of the road? Even the inch of soil under her feet no longer looks like cement, but is real land.
"Zhou Zhou, Zhou Zhou..." In desperation, she quickly opened her throat and shouted, hoping that she was just lost for a moment and there should be someone around.
Unfortunately, she was wrong. After she yelled in a panic, not only did no one answer her, but the birds in the forest frightened her and startled her when they fluttered into the sky.
"Is there anyone? Is there anyone? Come here, is there anyone?" She was scared this time and quickly put her hands to her mouth to make a trumpet shape.
What answered her was the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves, and the silence. It seemed like there was no one here except her, and fear followed her like a shadow.
She really wanted to cry. What on earth was going on? She looked in front of her, but she didn't dare to walk. She looked behind her, and there was no trace of the familiar road or shadow when she came.
After thinking about it, she decided to turn back. Maybe she was just dazzled. If she went back, she would at least be able to find the original road, or the way back.
Following the direction she had remembered previously, she walked through the overgrown land step by step, carefully skirting around the bushes, and from time to time, she was also careful about things that might be hidden in the grass, such as venomous snakes, insects, or other things.
.
She didn't know how long she had been walking, but she found that the further she walked, the less sunlight there was, the woods getting greener and lusher, and the trees getting taller and taller. She finally lost her direction.
She looked around in fear. She walked back according to her memory, but how could there be no cement road and not a single soul?
Quietly, I'm afraid she could hear a pin drop on the ground at this moment. The uneasiness inside her grew bigger and bigger, her face was all wrinkled together, she thought so much...crying.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" She finally couldn't hold back her fear and anxiety, and choked out. Tears suddenly blurred her eyes, and her body kept shaking.
After crying for a while, she accepted her fate and put away her tears. After wiping them dry, she could see the road ahead clearly. Both front and back were the same. The endless forest, not to mention the lack of people, it would be good if she could see the sky.
The most terrifying thing was that the sun, which had been in the center just now, was now setting in the west, leaving her with only the last remaining light. Once the sun went down, it was impossible to see in the forest, and darkness came.
In the dark night, I don’t know what kind of crisis is hidden in the mysterious and quiet woods. Are there ferocious beasts? Are there man-eating flowers?
Fear and uneasiness followed her closely. At this time, Nan Zi'er regretted extremely. She had known better not to avoid Zhou Zhou and others. Now it was better. She had avoided such a ghost place.
Not daring to stay where she was, she had no choice but to keep moving forward based on her own feelings. Rather than waiting for death, she might as well move forward. Maybe she could see a glimmer of life ahead and see the shadow of the city.
.
Night finally fell, and when the darkness came crazily, she finally couldn't walk. The darkness enveloped the forest, and she couldn't see her fingers. She didn't know the direction, let alone what was ahead. So, she stopped in despair.
