Rekindling the dream of becoming a star

Chapter 96: Destiny Martial Posture
The way down was much easier, and Chen Fang arrived downstairs safely. At this point, he had thought it through clearly. Things had come to this point and there was no turning back.

This mentality actually calmed him down. He walked around the wooden house with Wu Zi and came to the back.

This gravel road must have been specially treated at that time and sprinkled with lime. The path is very clear and extends all the way into the forest.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Fang looked at Wu Zi and asked, "Are you sure you want to go?"

"Yes." Wu Zi nodded: "I must go."

Chen Fang understood Wu Zi's eyes. This was the burial place of his biological parents. As a child, how could he not come here once?

In that case, Chen Fang had nothing to say. He raised his foot and stepped forward, with Wu Zi following closely behind him.

It was fine at first, but when I walked into the forest, I felt a chill that penetrated my skin and bones. I was surrounded by tall trees, and the thick treetops blocked the sunlight completely. I knew it was still morning, but it felt like dusk.

It’s so quiet, isn’t there even a bird here?

Chen Fang felt that the road was endlessly long. The fog appeared again and he could only rely on the gravel road under his feet for support.

The road ahead forked, with a huge rock standing in the middle. The rock had a unique shape, pointed at the front and wide at the back, gradually rising. Under the cover of fog, Chen Fang couldn't see clearly how big it was.

Chen Fang turned around and asked, "Are you still leaving?"

Wu Zi said nothing. She suddenly took off her backpack, pulled out a leather notebook and began to search through it.

She seemed to have found it, and began to scratch on the notebook with her index finger. Then she looked up and identified it and said, "My father wrote about this place in his diary. He named this stone Guiyun Peak."

"From Wang Wei's Tang Dynasty poem: The chirping birds suddenly return to the stream, and the returning clouds embrace the peaks."

"His favorite place is right in the front. It's written in his notes. That place is called Qinglanggan. My father said that this is a line from a poem by Xiang Anshi, a poet from the Song Dynasty." Wu Zi read softly, "I wrote this for the two of you. Please take it home and read it. When you open the scroll and ask about Qinglanggan, it's not the Book of Changes or the poem, but it's not."

"Yes, it's Yi, it's Shiran, but that's not the case. Yin Shiran, that's where my parents fell in love." Wu Zi's tears suddenly welled up in her eyes. She staggered to her feet and began to walk to the left along Guiyun Peak.

Chen Fang was still marveling at the poetic beauty of the scene when Wu Zi suddenly went crazy and rushed out. Chen Fang was so frightened that he didn't care about anything else and picked up his schoolbag and followed after him.

The clouds were getting thicker and the light was getting dimmer. If Chen Fang hadn't been so agile, he would have lost him by now.

"Wu Zi, Wu Zi!" Chen Fang shouted loudly without caring about being afraid.

With his speed, it would have been a matter of a blink of an eye. But strangely, Wu Zi ran at full speed, but he couldn't catch up at once. In addition, there was fog and clouds, and he felt timid inside. So Chen Fang chased him for a long time before he finally caught up with him.

Hugging Wu Zi, Chen Fang was also furious. He cursed: "What are you doing? Don't you know that running in the mountains is very dangerous?"

Wu Zi ignored him and stared straight ahead.

Chen Fang reacted and realized that there was a crooked tree about ten meters away from them.

What made Chen Fang's hair stand on end was a piece of white cloth tied to the crooked tree.

It is floating in the wind at this moment.

Oh my god! Chen Fang suppressed his fear and bit his tongue to prevent himself from going limp.

At this moment, hugging Wu Zi's upright posture became his support and pillar of support that prevented him from falling down.

Wu Zi suddenly burst out with tremendous strength. She started to walk forward, dragged Chen Fang and brought him directly under the tree. Only then did Chen Fang see clearly that the white cloth was not cloth at all, but the remaining fabric of a piece of clothing.

I swear to God, if Chen Fang knew this would be the scene, he would not come even if you gave him 1 billion.

Murder of passion, burial in a pit, jumping into the sea.

Any one of these is enough to make ten episodes of "Rule of Law in Progress", let alone the three-piece set.

And Wu Zi's next words made Chen Fang terrified to the extreme.

"Mom." Wu Zi knelt down under the tree.

Because Wu Zi's posture changed, Chen Fang lost his support and could not stand. With a plop, he knelt beside Wu Zi.

I really had no strength left, as if all the energy had been drained out of my body, leaving only my eyes wide open.

A wind blew, dispersing the clouds and mist, bringing with it a salty and fishy smell, and the scenery around Qinglanggan suddenly became clear.

In the distance, the sea and the sky are vaguely visible, and not far from your feet are steep cliffs. At the foot of the mountain, there are dense trees and the area is green like a lake.

This turned out to be a dead end.

"Give me the schoolbag." Wu Zi suddenly said.

Chen Fang now had some new strength. He had been carrying the black bag on his shoulders to make it easier to catch up, so he took it off and handed it over.

When Wu Zi opened it, Chen Fang discovered that it was filled with paper money, red candles, and some fruits.

Isn't this just a proper memorial item?

Wu Zi was certain from the beginning that she could find it, because that notebook must be hiding some secret.

Chen Fang didn't dare to think about it any further. He now understood everything completely.

Wu Zi originally wanted Lu Yun to come, but since Lu Yun was not there, she took his place.

From the beginning, she knew what she wanted to do.

A lot of paper money was taken out of the bag. Wu Zi fumbled for a moment and found a windproof lighter. Chen Fang couldn't just stand by and watch. At this moment, he just wanted to end it all quickly. He was a good young man, but he was involved in such a weird thing without knowing it.

Chen Fang was filled with regrets.

"Let me do it." Chen Fang grabbed the lighter and instructed, "As a family member, you can treat this place as a grave. What you need to do is clear away the weeds under the tree."

"Really?" Wu Zi asked.

"Yes, I've been to the grave and I know it very well." For some reason, Chen Fang's mood gradually calmed down as he spoke.

As I said, now that things have come to this, let’s face the challenge head-on.

So the two of them divided the work, one weeded and the other began to place the offerings.

After doing all this, Chen Fang waved: "You come to burn the paper money, light the candles first."

Wu Zi squatted down obediently, lit the three candles under the tree, then lit the paper money, and placed it next to it.

The fire grew bigger and bigger with the help of the wind, and both of them were burned and took a few steps back.

For some reason, the wind was getting stronger, and just when Chen Fang was worried about igniting a wildfire, something strange happened.

The paper money did not blow away, but instead spun in the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it formed a tornado of fire.

Burning paper money began to surround the crooked tree, and the white cloth hanging on the trunk was also ignited.

The wind whistled through the woods, shaking the leaves and making strange noises.

The hissing sound was like someone crying, and the green smoke produced by the burning gathered and did not disperse. The whole scene looked like a divine view.

Chen Fang's face was tense. He took a step forward and blocked Wu Zi behind him.

But the next second, Wu Zi was shoulder to shoulder with Chen Fang.

She knelt down again, kowtowed and muttered something. For some reason, the fearful Chen Fang also knelt down subconsciously, put his hands together, and silently chanted the titles of various gods.

When he finished reading, he found that Wu Zi was looking at him without blinking.

Chen Fang's face turned red, and he said something nonsense: "I'm chanting the mantra to pray for the dead."

"Thank you." Wu Zi's eyes turned red.

"Get up. Your mother in heaven would be very pleased to see you like this." Chen Fang stood up first, then helped Wu Zi up.

Now that I think about it, Wu Zi is really pitiful, there is no way I can not help her.

It's really weird to say, this inexplicable wind actually burned all the paper money cleanly, and there was not even a trace of ash to be found.

"Is there anything else to do?" Chen Fang asked.

Wu Zi shook her head, and Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Wu Zi would bring up something else, so he asked tentatively: "Then, then shall we go back?"

"Ah."

It seems that Wu Zi's wish was to find his mother and pay tribute to her, and now it can be said to be a complete success.

The two of them set out on their way back.

But Chen Fang was dumbfounded. At this moment, the clouds and mist had dispersed, and all he could see was dark woods. There was no road at all.

Thinking about how I was chasing Wu Zi just now, we ran for quite a long time. Is this mountain behind really that big?
"Do you still remember the way?" Chen Fang asked Wu Zi helplessly.

Wu Zi shook her head. She looked very weak now, with powerlessness all over her body. She felt relieved as if her last wish in life had been fulfilled and she had no worries anymore.

Chen Fang gritted his teeth and supported Wu Zi as they walked forward. After walking for a while, they felt the wind picking up again. Chen Fang cursed inwardly and looked around. Suddenly he remembered something and looked back.

The crooked tree was no longer visible.

Goosebumps came up again.

Chen Fang widened his eyes. He clearly remembered that he didn’t walk far and had been walking in a straight line. How come...

Thinking of Teacher Wen’s memories, so many people looked for it, but they couldn’t find it. Isn’t that weird?

Not daring to think too much, Chen Fang simply sped up and ran forward holding Wu Zi's support.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the surroundings became completely dark. His cheeks suddenly felt cold, and before Chen Fang could react, more raindrops hit his face.

Damn it, it’s going to rain.

Before he could finish this thought, the rain suddenly got heavier. Normally, in the woods, the rain would mostly be blocked by the treetops, but Chen Fang felt that the rain was like pebbles, making popping sounds when it hit the ground.

No, we need to find a place to shelter from the rain.

But where could he find shelter from the rain? Chen Fang was really anxious. This was even more desperate than being 30 points behind in the game and having to catch up.

It darkened visibly to the naked eye and suddenly became pitch black.

Fear and hesitation all came to his mind, but when he thought of Wu Zi, who seemed to have lost his soul, beside him, Chen Fang kicked all these thoughts away in less than a second.

Instead, he felt a sense of pride in his heart. A flash of lightning suddenly lit up, and a huge roar seemed to explode next to his earlobe, and the whole forest was shaking.

Chen Fang gritted his teeth, picked up Wu Zi and walked forward. The heavy rain soaked his clothes and body in an instant.

The wind was strong, the rain was heavy and the thunder was loud, it felt like being in a desperate situation.

After taking a look at Wu Zi in his arms, he was already shaking with fear, and hugged Chen Fang's neck tightly.

Under normal circumstances, Chen Fang would be overjoyed, but now, he couldn't be happy at all.

Another flash of lightning, followed by a roar of thunder like a giant rake plowing the ground, sweeping away everything.

Chen Fang was overjoyed. In the flash of lightning just now, he vaguely saw a dark cave in front of him.

Bursting out all his strength, Chen Fang rushed forward.

As soon as he walked in, he saw it was indeed the one. Chen Da was overjoyed and didn't care about anything else. He crouched down and hid inside with Wu Zi in his arms.

The cave was shallow and low, with no space for standing upright. Chen Fang sat cross-legged and felt his knees pressing against the mountain wall. He had no choice but to maintain a martial arts posture and use his back to block the violent wind and rain outside.

It was too dark. If Chen Fang hadn't been holding Wu Zi, he wouldn't have been able to see where she was.

It's like being blind.

Chen Fang had never seen such a dark environment.

But it’s amazing that this cave seems to isolate the sound, and the sound of wind and thunder outside has suddenly become much smaller.

Chen Fang could hear Wu Zi's heavy breathing.

"It's cold, so cold." Wu Zi suddenly began to tremble in his arms.

It would have been better if he hadn't said anything. Chen Fang suddenly felt cold all over. It was so cold that he felt like he was going to freeze to death in the next moment.

Suddenly remembering that there seemed to be a candle in the backpack, Chen Fang hurriedly said: "Sit up, there is still a candle in the backpack."

Wu Zi began to twist her body, "Ouch." She suddenly cried out in pain.

"This cave is very narrow, go slowly." Chen Fang reminded.

So the twisting became slower, and finally, Wu Zi went from lying sideways in Chen Fang's arms to sitting in Chen Fang's arms.

There was a refreshing fragrance, not sure if it was hair fragrance or body fragrance. Chen Fang made the connection for no reason. The next second, he felt something soft slowly pressing against his cheek.

This is……?
Is this...!
You know what, it’s not cold anymore!
Completely on fire!

Chen Fang felt his blood boiling and his head starting to feel a little dizzy.

I don’t know if Wu Zi was too cold or not, she still stretched out her arms, put them on Chen Fang’s shoulders, and groped in her backpack with her hands.

Chen Fang felt the joy of going to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, and finally finding the true scriptures after all the hardships. All my efforts along the way were worth it.

As if he had touched it, Wu Zi whispered in disappointment: "It seems there are only two left."

"It's okay, light it up first and I'll plug it in."

Groping in the darkness, the two of them took a long time, like a space station docking, from hand to hand contact.

"Move back a little." Chen Fang reminded, then took out a windproof lighter from his trouser pocket.

"Snap." The fire lit up, and Chen Fang saw Wu Zi's sparkling eyes.

Wu Zi also saw Chen Fang's prominent nose tip.

Slowly move the candle over and light it.

The second one was faster, and in a trance, the cave suddenly became bright.

What is light?
Just being shy, the two of them felt uncomfortable. Wu Zi wanted to get down, but the back of his head hit the stone wall. Chen Fang turned his head and explained, "This cave is too small. You have to bear with it."

The two had never dreamed that this situation would occur. The wind and rain outside were roaring louder, and the chill came again.

There’s nothing you can do about it, the blood only gets hot for three minutes.

The coldness immediately wiped out each other's shyness.

Chen Fang suddenly heard a creaking sound. He turned back and found that Wu Zi's face was pale and his upper and lower teeth were chattering.

"It's cold, it's so cold."

"Rub your hands." Chen Fang taught.

But Wu Zi seemed to be frozen, and her eyes were losing their luster.

"I'm so sleepy. I want to sleep so much." She murmured to herself.

Hypothermia!

This term popped up in Chen Fang's mind.

Hypothermia refers to a condition in which the body's heat loss is greater than its heat supply, resulting in a drop in the body's core temperature and a series of symptoms such as chills, confusion, cardiopulmonary failure, and ultimately death.

In his previous life, Chen Fang had gone mountain climbing with fellow hikers and witnessed the whole process of hypothermia with his own eyes. He felt that Wu Zi’s current condition was very similar.

"Your clothes are wet." Chen Fang discovered the problem.

“I did it before.”

"Take it off and lean on me."

"Hey, hey, don't sleep, wake up."

Chen Fang continued to speak, but Wu Zi seemed to have lost consciousness and really fell asleep.

I really fucked up!

Chen Fang never expected that there would be an even more terrifying level after the first one. It seemed like God was going to kill him today.

Without caring about anything else, Chen Fang slapped Wu Zi's face: "Wake up, don't sleep, Wu Zi, Wu Zi!"

Seeing no response, Chen Fang became really anxious. He didn't care about anything else. Even if he was beaten to death afterwards, saving people was the most important thing now.

I took off Wu Zi's coat and touched her T-shirt, which was also wet, so I took it off directly.

Then he lifted up the hoodie, put it on Wu Zi's head, and pulled it down, so that their skin was directly pressed against each other.

"I can only use my body temperature to warm you up, so don't accuse me of being a hooligan afterwards!"

Chen Fang felt a chill in his chest. He rubbed his hands frantically and felt his palms were warm, so he put them in and rubbed them hard on Wu Zi's back.

At the same time, he kept shouting, "Wu Zi, Wu Zi, wake up, oh, I can't take it anymore."

Perhaps she heard Chen Fang's cry, or perhaps she found warmth, the unconscious Wu Zi suddenly hugged Chen's back with both hands, her chin resting on Chen Fang's shoulder.

"Chen Fang, Chen Fang."

She called Chen Fang in a weak voice.

Chen Fang stopped all movements and calmed down.

For some reason, the whisper in my ear just now penetrated my eardrum and went straight to my heart.

"You will be fine. I'm here. No one can hurt you." Chen Fang didn't know whether Wu Zi could hear him or not. It seemed more like he was negotiating with God.

Wu Zi hugged her tighter.

"Chen Fang, Chen Fang."

"I'm here, always here." Chen Fang felt relieved when he heard Wu Zi's voice was a little louder.

Wu Zi moved, she leaned back, and their noses rubbed against each other as they faced each other.

Wu Zi slowly opened her eyes, looked into Chen Fang's eyes, and asked softly, "Chen Fang."

"do you like me?"

There was no thunder but it sounded like thunder, and the lightning struck Chen Fang on the head.

"I like you. I fell in love with you the first time I saw you." Chen Fang knew that at this moment, there was only one word.

Rush!
"I knew you were playing hard to get." Wu Zi uttered each word with great effort, but the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Hehe." Chen Fang grinned foolishly.

"I like you too." After saying this, Wu Zi seemed shy and leaned back on Chen Fang's shoulder.

The two of them pressed tightly together, and Chen Fang, who had been a human in two lifetimes, felt an unprecedented sense of love.

No matter what the reason is, what comes together at this moment is the love for Wu Zi.

"Chen Fang, Chen Fang."

"I'm here. What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, I like calling your name."

"I like to hear you scream, too."

Outside the cave, the wind and thunder were so violent that one could not tell the year, month, or day.

Inside the cave, two red candles are like wedding candles.

Somehow, Chen Fang sensed the destiny.

He was destined to come back and meet her.

Just like now, he uses his back to protect the fragile girl from the wind and rain.

Use the temperature of your body to warm her who is cold.
