C115 Strange things (1/2)
I remember clearly that direction, the haunted forest we had been in before, and I thought it was strange.
This is because when I entered the forest, the ghost face on my chest had sensed something, but it was not as strange as it was just now. It was as if I was constantly drawing out the symbols in my mind, which was why the ghost face became abnormally lively. Moreover, at the location of the forest in the distance, I could clearly see the moonlight shining down from the sky, as if it had been completely absorbed.
”What's wrong with you? Did you hurt yourself falling from the tree? ”
Tang Rou came to my side and reached out her hand to touch my forehead. The warmth of her touch made my heart flutter.
”It's nothing. Maybe it's because I stayed up late.”
”If that's the case, then hurry up and go to sleep for a while. The sky is about to brighten, so there shouldn't be any problems. I'll stay here to guard.”
I shook my head. There was no reason to let a girl do the work for me.
In fact, I wasn't really sleepy at all. The burning sensation in my chest became more and more distinct. In the end, I couldn't resist the urge to pant.
I was afraid that Tang Rou would be worried for me, so I got up and made an excuse to go to the toilet. I walked out of the room and went to the back of the house.
This kind of situation was only seen on a very few occasions, and those were all life-threatening moments.
There weren't any evil spirits in the surroundings, and I didn't feel any danger. However, this ghost face had actually opened its eyes, which really made me worry.
My body seemed to be out of control as I slowly turned around. I knew that the direction I was facing was the haunted forest I went to previously.
From this, it could be seen that the awakening of the Raksha Seal at this moment was definitely related to something in the forest.
Perhaps there was the suppression from the red lotus earlier, so it was not too obvious. Currently, the lotus flower on my lower abdomen does not seem to have much of an effect, as though it has sunk into a pure state. All the petals have gradually closed together, causing me to be at a complete loss.
According to Daoist Tian Xuan, the red lotus flower on my body is the key to my life, especially when the Raksha Seal was awakened. Now that the lotus flower has suddenly lost its effect, it really terrified me.
Fortunately, this situation slowly disappeared as the sky gradually brightened. The eyes of the ghost face slowly closed while the lotus flower remained unchanged.
As I touched that flat abdomen, I couldn't figure out the reason behind the dimness of the red lotus flower, nor did I feel like going to the Heaven Seeking Palace.
After guarding for the night, Tang Rou was already somewhat tired. She fell asleep on the table. The paper doll next to her had been preserved perfectly in a cloud of smoke.
I also had a big stretch and just like that, I leaned back in my chair and fell into a deep slumber.
In a daze, I couldn't tell if it was a dream or reality. I actually came to the scene from last night, next to the forest.
