Raising Ghosts Records

Chapter 36 A Strange Dream

Seeing these five people walking down the mountain, my heart beat suddenly faster, as if I was a thief hiding, and the police who caught the thief were searching in this direction.Who would come to this deserted mountain at night in idleness? I can’t think of anyone else except the old man raising ghosts. If it’s really him, if I’m caught, what awaits me is probably worse than death, because I might die Turned into a ghost by him and become a tool of terror.

There are five people on the other side. If they really found me, wouldn't it be as simple as catching an ant to catch me in this forest?If I was caught, then Tongtong would also be taken back. Thinking of this, I hurriedly asked Tongtong to go back into the little wooden figure.

I don't know if those five people saw the torch I just took, maybe they didn't, because I stomped it out after Tongtong reminded me that someone was there.And two or three minutes after the torch went out, those few people appeared, but even if I didn't see the torch, it's the best policy for me to hurry up. The risk factor of staying here is exponentially increasing, after all, there are five people on the opposite side.

Running was the only way out, but without the torch, it was pitch black in the locust forest, and I dared not turn on the flashlight.There are many dragon blood vines hanging down on every locust tree in this forest, which can bind people. I can only crawl on the ground like a four-legged snake. Firstly, I am afraid of being tied up by the dragon blood vines, so I don’t run anymore. Don't fall into a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.Secondly, I was afraid that I would bump into a tree while standing and walking. After all, there was not a single grass on the ground of the pagoda tree forest, so I didn't have much difficulty climbing.

I just climbed forward in a straight line based on feeling, and went around when I touched the roots of the tree. I only climbed about seven or eighty meters before I heard footsteps behind me.The five people finally walked into the locust tree forest, and I climbed faster, wondering if those people would be suddenly tied up by the vines.I climbed for a while, and felt that those people were not coming in my direction, so I stopped and rested for a few tens of seconds.My arms are really sore and weak, just like sitting push-ups, it is difficult to do one more when I reach the limit, so I am the same, it is difficult to climb more than half a meter.

While resting, I put my ears on the ground and listened. This is the method I learned from watching Journey to the West.But to my surprise, apart from the sound of running water, I couldn't hear the footsteps of those people at all.I turned my head and looked around, but I didn't see any light, as if no one had ever entered this locust tree forest.There was a deathly silence around, not even the cry of insects, only the faint sound of water flowing from the stone spring, but it was also very low.

It's really strange, did these five people disappear out of thin air, or was it just a hallucination, and no one came at all.If my hallucinations can still be believed, but will Tong Tong also have hallucinations?Someone as smart as me can't figure it out.

I wanted to ask Tongtong, but I didn't dare to make a sound, so I put my hand into the bag and tapped the wooden figure with my fingers.But the strange thing is that Tongtong didn't answer me, as if it was really just a wooden figure, and there was no little water ghost in it.

It suddenly became so weird that I felt as if I was the only one left in this world, even Tongtong was gone.

I didn't have time to think about it. I rested for about a minute and started to climb up again. This time I climbed another 1 meters in one breath, and I haven't reached the border of the forest yet.It was so dark that nothing could be seen, and there was still no sound around, even the sound of the stone spring water just now disappeared.Think about being alone in a dark and quiet mountain forest, and this place may be the mountain where grandma said that the fox and the snake talk, and there are many dragon blood vines on the head that can bind people, if you say you are not afraid, you are just lying to yourself .

I took out the bronze knife and held it in my hand, and crawled for a certain distance, but finally I couldn't move anymore, and my whole body lay limp and motionless on the ground.I really feel very strange, logically speaking, this is impossible. I have climbed at least 200 meters, which is already the width of this locust forest.
I couldn't stand the atmosphere anymore, so I took out the wooden figure and called Tongtong softly a few times, but she still didn't answer me, isn't Tongtong inside?Where did she go?What exactly is going on?

I have never felt so scared, this feeling of fear is like the sound of water shoes walking in my room in the middle of the night when I was a child.I didn't care so much anymore, I stood up and turned on the flashlight to take a look, but the surrounding environment made me almost scream.

I don’t even know when I walked out of the pagoda tree forest. At this time, I am standing in the middle of a pile of rocks. These stone baskets are so big, and they are stacked several times on top of each other, and they are three meters high.

What is this place?Just as I was wondering where I had gone, I suddenly heard a voice coming from outside the pile of rocks.

I climbed up the pile of rocks and saw a fire not far away. I put my hands behind my ears and listened. I felt that many people were talking, but I couldn’t understand the language. The feeling was similar to what I heard on TV now. languages ​​of African tribes.

After I called Tongtong a few more times and still did not respond, I grabbed the bronze knife in my hand and walked over the pile of rocks following the sound.I walked all the way not far from the fire, and the sight in front of me almost dropped the knife in my hand to the ground, and I almost screamed out, it was really weird.

I saw a large bonfire in front of me, and beside the bonfire was a large group of dwarfs, the short ones were only as tall as a Coke bottle, and the taller ones were slightly taller than a beer bottle, exactly the same as what I had dreamed about that time.

There were hundreds of these dwarfs, and they were doing strange dances around a campfire.I was less than three meters away from these dwarves, but they didn't seem to notice me, indulging in their own dance.

At this time, thousands of questions popped up in my mind, what is this place?How did I come here?Where did Tongtong go?Where are the five people who came down the hillside?Where did these dwarves come from?Am I dreaming?

I just stood motionless like a statue and watched these dwarves dance. After observing for a while, I felt that these dwarfs were not in danger, so I planned to go over to have a look.So what if they attack me!I can crush two or three to death with one foot, and if they are the size of us ordinary people, then I am equivalent to a giant four stories tall.

I walked over in three or two steps, thinking that these dwarves would run away in fright when they saw me, but it made me extremely depressed. These dwarfs ignored me, treated me like air, and continued to dance.And I could see them too, small but strong, like those weightlifters shrunken.Their looks are different from ours, but they are a bit like Southeast Asians, that is, Malays, with black and yellow skin.None of them were wearing any clothes, with a strange white symbol painted on their chests, like a cartoon sun.

I couldn't help squatting down to look at them, and then couldn't help stretching out my hand to catch one to see, but the result was the same as in the dream, my hand went straight through the body of a dwarf.They are like ghosts, they have no entity, but a projection, which cannot be caught at all.

I tried several times without success, so I simply put my hand into the fire, and the result was as I expected. The fire is also a projection, so it is not hot, and it does not exist at all except that it looks like fire .

I lay down on the ground and yelled at the dancing dwarves, but they still didn't respond, probably they didn't hear them at all.They don't seem to exist in this dimension, they are as illusory as a mirage, which I don't understand.

I yelled a few times and just got up when I heard a crashing sound in front of me, like a huge wave in the sea rushing towards me.Immediately, I shone the flashlight forward, and immediately peed my pants in shock. I saw a huge wave three or four stories high rushing towards me not far ahead.

Nightmare, this must be a nightmare, but I immediately turned around and ran away. After only two steps, a huge wave rushed over, and then I lost consciousness.

When I regained consciousness, it was dark all around, and I heard someone calling me, that voice called Brother Tiaohe over and over again, and I realized that it was Tongtong's voice.

"Is that you, Tongtong?" I asked into the darkness, and the voice answered.

"Hmm! I'm Tongtong, Brother Tiaohe, are you awake?"

I have been with Tongtong for half a year, and it was the first time she called me Brother Tiaohe. I asked Tongtong where this is, and at the same time I found that I couldn’t move my whole body.Tongtong told me it was on that old locust tree!And I was bound like a zongzi by the dragon blood vine.

How could I be on the old locust tree?I was obviously crawling on the ground!I remember that I didn't sleep, as if I should have climbed out of the woods, how could I be on this tree?

Tongtong told me no, she said that I kept climbing towards this old locust tree in the dark, and she didn't remind me.After I climbed to the root of the tree, a few dracaena vines tied me up and pulled me up the tree. Only then did Tong Tong realize that something was wrong, but I fell asleep and couldn't wake me up no matter what.

How could this happen, this is too weird, how could I climb to this old locust tree.I suddenly remembered those five people and asked Tongtong where were those five people just now?

Tongtong said that she didn't know, she felt like she was shielded from everything in the forest, and she could sense someone coming before because she went out to the edge of the forest.

Everything in this locust forest is beyond my cognition. I don’t know if it’s so weird during the day, or it’s only like this at night.

I asked Tongtong to take out matches from my bag, and she put some dry branches and leaves under the vines on the tree. The vines released me within two seconds of lighting the fire, and I quickly climbed down the tree. On the ground, five flashlights lit up around.
