I closed the box and walked out of the secret room.
Actually, I wanted to open a jar to see what the little ghost inside looked like. Then I thought about what if the little ghost jumped out and strangled my neck?
I might not be able to defeat them. Since there's danger, it's best to stay away from them.
Thus, I dispelled this thought and walked out of the secret chamber.
I didn't immediately run down the mountain but returned to my room to think of a countermeasure. Everything was a matter of time.
It's already afternoon, and I estimate it to be between one and two o'clock. I can't run out of the mountain before it gets dark.
There was no possibility of getting lost. I just had to follow the cement road and run out of the mountain, but time did not allow it.
There are only four hours at most from now until nightfall. I can't guarantee that I can travel sixty to seventy miles in four hours. If I can't get out of the mountain before nightfall, anything dangerous might happen.
Other than wandering ghosts, there were also many wild beasts in the mountains. Although I didn't see any large carnivores, it didn't mean that they didn't exist.
If we were on the road, I could only count on myself. I didn't expect to meet a hitchhiker on this road. The probability of meeting a car on this mountain road was not much different from the probability of winning the lottery.
The best choice is tomorrow morning. I'll take the opportunity to go down the mountain and escape. That way, I'll have a day's time. No matter what, I'll run out.
I've decided to leave tomorrow, so I'll pretend I don't know anything today. This shouldn't be a problem.
The old daoist priest returned when the sky was about to turn dark. His small face was flushed red. It was obvious that he had drunk a lot of yellow soup.
He told me to heat up some food for himself, but he didn't eat dinner and went into his room. Soon, there was a thunderous snore coming from inside.
Listening to the old Taoist priest's snoring, I thought of many things. I wanted to burn down the Taoist temple or rush in and cut off the old Taoist priest's head. These wishes were especially strong in an instant. I was so excited that I almost lost my mind.
In the end, I didn't do anything. After heating up the leftovers from lunch, I went back to my room to sleep.
I have to sleep early tonight. I have to maintain sufficient sleep and physical strength so that I can run tomorrow.
Strange! I didn't hear the strange sound of the wind in the middle of the night, which made me feel very uneasy.
The next morning, when I walked out of my room, Taoist Haotian was standing in the backyard with two wooden baskets in his hands. He actually asked me to follow him to collect the radishes.
This is the first time he's asked me to work these days.
Damn it, if you don't accept it sooner or later, I'm going to escape today. If you want to accept the radish, aren't you deliberately going against me?
I dilly-dallied, pretending to have a stomachache and found a good reason to say that I had eaten cold rice last night.
The old Daoist priest did not have any doubts. He left a sentence of " Have a good rest " and walked out.
He watched as the old Daoist carried the basket out of the Taoist temple and turned towards the back of the mountain until his figure disappeared at the foot of the slope.
I walked out of the temple and began to execute my escape plan.
I pretended to walk down the mountain unsteadily, as if I was ill. Of course, this was an illusion to confuse the old Taoist priest. If he saw me, I would say it to relieve my boredom.
When I went down to the forest below the Taoist temple, I was sure that the old Taoist priest's gaze would not see me through the hillside. I started to run down the mountain with all my might.
I ran to the river at the foot of the mountain.
Red Dust was already by the river, but she didn't bring her clothes out to wash. Moreover, she seemed a little anxious.
Seeing that I had come, she clearly heaved a sigh of relief.
"Red Dust, I can't tell you a story today.”Panting, I crossed the river and stopped beside Red Dust.
"You know? Then you should run." Red Dust wasn't as disappointed as I wasn't telling a story. Instead, he advised me to run.
I was puzzled. I didn't say anything. How did I know? What do I know? Could it be that Red Dust also knew some insider information?
"Red Dust, you also know that I'm in danger?”
"Aiya, why are you still talking about this at this time? Run away. It was best not to be caught by him. Let's go!”
I agreed and started running again. After running for two steps, I turned back.
"Red Dust, then your master is also not a good person. Then why didn't you run?”
Red Dust's face turned pale as she shook her head.""I can't tell if my master is a good person or not, but I can't run. I'm different from you, where can I run? I don't even know where I came from. I don't have a place to stay at all. I can only stay here. She treats me quite well.”
I naturally knew who she was.
"Don't worry, I'll think of a way to come back and save you.”
"You should leave quickly. If I find out, you won't be able to leave.”
I nodded, turned around, and ran towards the mountain where the Qing Ming Temple was located. That was the only place I had to go on the road.
It was easy to go down the mountain but difficult to go up the mountain. I panted as I climbed up the mountain and walked past the Qing Ming Nunnery into the uninhabited village.
The last time I passed by this village, I didn't see a single person. But this time, when I walked into the village, I was surprised to see several people. They sat under the eaves in a daze, like some ancient stone statues. Occasionally, they would slowly raise their heads and look around in a daze.
These people gave me a feeling that they were not human. The way they looked at me gave me goosebumps all over.
I rushed out of the village without raising my head and ran down the mountain road that I had taken.
The moment I stepped onto the cement road, I felt as if I had been relieved of a heavy burden.
I walked along the road towards the outside of the mountain. After walking for a while, I turned around to look behind me. I was afraid that the old Taoist priest would catch up with me.
I walked for more than an hour without stopping. I estimated that I had walked more than twenty miles before my legs began to feel heavy.
I sat down on a rock by the roadside.
The weather today was quite good. The sun was shining brightly in the sky. Although my legs were heavy, I was in a good mood.
After walking for a long time, I was sweating a little. I unbuttoned my clothes and fanned myself.
I looked at the endless road in front of me and started to worry. How long would it take? If only I had a car.
As the saying goes, sincerity will lead to success. Buddhism says that as long as one is sincere, miracles will always happen.
Perhaps my obsession with cars had touched the heavens. Just as the thought of a car appeared in my mind, a car really appeared at the end of the road ahead.
And I saw that it was a taxi.
I was overjoyed. When the taxi returned, he would take me back. This way, I would save a lot of unnecessary travel. As for the fare, I would talk about it when I got home.
The taxi ran over and stopped in front of me.
I'm not stuck in traffic! Even if I was stuck in traffic, I would only be stuck on the way back. Why is it stopping in front of me now?
The taxi stopped and a person got out of the passenger seat.
When I saw him, I was scared out of my wits.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:021420196:28PM
