Chapter 7：Already 32 Years Old (2/2)

Ending his sentence, he turned around and fled. The monkeys came chasing from behind him whilst lifting their axes.

Wei Huo shouted as he ran, ”F*ck! Time was halted for humans and now you monkeys think you're the king!”

The monkeys chased him up a plank walkway. The walkway was crammed with halted humans, and that was why the time halt did not affect the walkway at all. Otherwise, the dilapidated walkway would collapse when Wei Huo stepped on it.

Wei Huo ran without stopping and dashed into a huge temple. The temple was filled with tourists. It seemed like photographing was not allowed in this temple as the tourists were just looking around. Multiple oldsters were kneeling on the praying mat, kowtowing to the Buddha statue in front of them.

The monkeys stopped chasing after Wei Huo when he entered that area. They looked afraid. Wei Huo let out a sigh of relief and started scrutinizing the Buddha Statue. His gaze then stopped at the praying mats.

'In the novel Demi-Gods And Semi-Devils, Duan Yu found a rare scroll in the praying mats…'

An idea came to Wei Huo's mind, but of course, he would not be knocking his head until the praying mats cracked. He had a knife with him!

”Now it's time to solve the puzzle!”

Wei Huo nodded in affirmation. The world was currently a game hence, one should put themselves in a gamer's shoes when encountering such situations. These places were usually used as checkpoints to solve puzzles. He might be able to find the rare scrolls there.

Wei Huo might not be able to touch the occupied mats, but there were other vacant ones. He took out his hunting knife and immediately started slicing the praying mats apart.

Much to his disappointment, he found nothing in the ruined praying mats. Those praying mats were just normal praying mats after all.

He started checking underneath the Buddha statue. Secret trap doors were usually located in such areas. These were common scenes one would find in Wuxia novels. When the main characters had no way out, they would hide behind these trap doors. The author would have then brought an injured girl into the story and everything would be perfect.

However, there were no secret trap doors there either.

Wei Huo stroked his chin. 'Don't f*cking tell me God had not created the checkpoint and puzzle system?'

Only then had Wei Huo realized that the game world appeared to be still under development.

Wei Huo shook his head and exited the temple. He trailed along a stony path, passed through a crowd of people, and continued hiking up the mountain. A golden dome was located at the peak of Mount Emei. Although Wei Huo knew that he might not find any rare scrolls there, he still wanted to take a look. Moreover, he could enjoy the landscape of the golden dome for free.

All of a sudden, he stopped in his tracks.

His mind went blank from astonishment as he stared attentively at a woman in front of him.

'Why is she here?'

He walked up and scrutinized that woman. After a few moments, his heart ached not because of a man who seemed close to her standing next to the woman but because Wei Huo saw his own appearance through her sparkling eyes.

Time had halted for 13 years and Wei Huo was already 32 years old.

Could these halted humans saw those who were alive and kicking? Of course, they could, after all the humans' retina was just like a concave lens. However, what difference would it make when the brain could not receive any signal?

A deep sorrow pierced his heart. Everybody around him was still young, but he could only age with time. Who would still remember a guy named Wei Huo when time recovered?

A Wuxia novel by Jin Yong (Louis Cha) where Duan Yu kowtowed to the Buddha statue 1000 times. He broke the praying mat and obtained two rare manuscripts.
