I didn't expect that I could also get into the team with Taoist craftsmanship. I was a little happy to think about it, but now my Taoist craftsmanship can only scare the little ghost at most. If I really encounter a big ghost, it would be really difficult to be a fierce ghost.

The journey of a few days was soon completed. The old man and I stood on a majestic mountain, "Did you see it? There is the Hell Forest." The old man pointed to the foot of the mountain and said to me.

At the foot of the mountain is an endless plain, but there is not even a tree. Instead, there are countless black stone pillars of all sizes, which really look like a forest. However, not only does not have the greenness of ordinary forests, but there is not even a little vitality. It is completely dark and dead silent, which makes people feel very uncomfortable when you look at it.

"The old nest of the Huatian Sect is in the center of the Hell Forest." The old man pointed to the distance and said to me. I looked in the direction of his finger. All I saw was the black stone pillars, and I couldn't see the edge at all, so naturally I couldn't determine where the center was.

It is already afternoon now, and the old man decided to rest on the top of the mountain first and wait until tomorrow morning to enter. Of course, I have no objection to this arrangement. Although those who entered the Hell Forest before went in during the day, they were unable to come out in the end, but in my heart, I still feel that it is safer to go in during the day. After all, people are not creatures that are active at night.

The sun gradually set. After eating and drinking, I leaned on a big stone and leisurely looked at the Hell Forest under the setting sun. The red sunset shone in the sky, dyeing the black stone pillars on the ground red, like a huge ink painting. It looks really beautiful and even more mysterious.

I really want to know how these stone pillars were formed, but unfortunately I have little knowledge in my stomach. Such a scene cannot be caused by such reasons as volcanoes, earthquakes, etc. I remembered that there is also a very famous stone forest in Yunnan. Although I have never been there, I have watched related videos online. The stones there are all white. It is said that they are called Kamen. It dissolves some substances in the stones, and then the stone forest is formed.

Could it be that this place is also produced after being dissolved by water? But it doesn’t look like it? And I remember that the white stone that forms the Yunnan stone forest in the video is called limestone. Is the limestone in this world black?

These questions really made me unable to answer, so I had to give up in the end. Anyway, I didn't come here for scientific investigation. I fell asleep unknowingly when I was bored.

When I woke up, I looked around habitually and found that it was not dawn and it was still dark around. The old man did not sleep but leaned on another stone not far away, staring blankly in the direction of the Hell Forest, looking very worried.

"What time is it?" I asked casually, "How do I know, do you think I am a god?" The old man glared at me angrily, "Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe

I have been in this world for several years, but some habits I have developed before still cannot be changed. For example, the question about time just now, people in this world do not have an accurate concept of time at all. The only way to determine the time is to look up at the sun or the moon. However, the moon is full of phases and waxing, and I don’t go to work every night. Just like tonight, the clouds in the sky are very thick, let alone the moon, and you can’t even see the stars. If you want to know time, you have to wait until dawn to see the sun.

I moved my body a few times and found a more comfortable position to sit down, then turned my head and looked towards the direction of the Hell Forest. At this time, it was pitch black, and all the black stones were shrouded in the night, and I could not see anything at all. However, perhaps it was the psychological effect before, after seeing it, a gloomy and terrifying emotion arose.

This scene was really meaningless, so I had to continue to close my eyes and rest, and soon I entered sleep mode again. When I opened my eyes again, the sky had already brightened slightly. After a simple wash, I ate something. Next we began to move towards the Hell Forest.

When I stood on the top of the mountain and looked away, I felt that the Hell Forest was very vast and I didn’t feel much about the black stone pillars. But after getting closer, I was surprised to find that these stone pillars were actually not small, the big ones were more than ten meters high, and even the small ones were four or five meters in shape. Moreover, the stone pillars were thick, thin, edges and angular, and each one looked different. Some looked like monsters with claws, and some looked like evil spirits grinning. Anyway, they didn’t look like good things. The most important thing is that these images were not imagined out of thin air. The shape of the stone pillars itself was indeed a bit similar.

The old man was also surprised to see this scene. Obviously he was shocked, but his speed of travel did not slow down at all. He stopped when he walked to the edge of the Hell Forest.

A few meters away is a huge stone pillar, which must be more than ten meters in height. You need to look up to see the full view of the stone pillar. Its shape is like an evil ghost with fangs and a steel fork, staring at me fiercely with raised eyes.

Although I knew it was just a stone pillar, my back was still a little cold. After a while, I calmed down. I walked over with the courage to raise my hand and touched the stone pillar a few times. The surface of the stone pillar was very rough and angular, and there was no trace of artificial carving. It should have been formed naturally. However, if one or two such stone pillars were naturally formed, it would be understandable. It would be a bit weird if it naturally formed countless stone pillars.

I turned around and looked at the old man and found that he was checking carefully next to the nearby stone pillar, as if he was looking for something. Soon he stopped next to a stone pillar not far away. After a few more glances, he waved to me and I hurried over.

"Look here," the old man pointed to a position on the stone pillar and said to me. I looked in the direction of his finger and found that there was an "arrow"-shaped sign engraved on the stone pillar, and the direction of the arrow pointed to the Hell Forest.

Without the old man's explanation, I also understand that this should be the road sign left by those who entered before to prevent getting lost. Although this road sign was engraved in unknown era, it still looks very clear because it is engraved very deeply.

"Don't go around after entering, you must follow these signs." "Okay," I simply agreed, "There is another thing you must remember." At this point, the old man looked at me solemnly and then continued, "If I encounter danger, you must not rescue me. You must withdraw immediately as quickly as possible." "Why?" I looked at the old man in confusion.

"Don't be a mother-in-law," the old man yelled angrily. "All those people who went in before were stronger than you. Even the servants who followed them in were better than you. You can't deal with things that they couldn't deal with, and it's useless to stay. Do you know!?" "Don't get angry, as for it? I just run away from your life and death when you encounter danger. Don't worry, I promise to do it neatly." I replied angrily, then stared at the old man and asked, "Is there anything else to tell me?" "No, there is not much information left by the seniors in this place, and I only know this." The old man said sadly, "What are you waiting for?" I said angrily, and then walked into the Hell Forest.

After walking a few steps, my anger disappeared, and instead I was frightened. Although it was only a few steps away, the feeling of this place was completely different. When I stood outside, I saw countless dense stone pillars, which made me almost feel intensive phobia.

But when I entered and walked between these stone pillars, there were such tall things in front, back, left and right, with a gap of about three or four meters. It was like someone took a ruler to measure it and inserted it one by one. When I looked up, the sky I saw was lined up, and each stone pillar looked different. The only thing in common is that their shapes were really vivid. The first time I saw them, I immediately thought of something terrible in my mind.

In just a dozen steps, I had seen stone pillars that looked like evil spirits, stone pillars that looked like werewolfs, and some stone pillars looked a bit strange. I couldn't recognize anything, but these stone pillars all have noses and eyes, and they all looked like a ferocious and evil feeling. Perhaps they should be like some kind of beast or legendary thing in this world.

But I have a limited understanding of these things. The old man following closely behind should be able to recognize what they look like, but I don’t want to ask. After all, asking clearly can only increase my fear, and there is no benefit at all.

The tension and oppression are too strong when moving in such an environment. It would be better if I just walk with my head down, but I had to observe around and be careful to be on the unknown danger. I would see a new stone pillar almost every step, and a terrible thing would immediately come to my mind.

Although I know that these are all fake, the fact of this fraud is too superb. If I really put an extremely realistic sculpture here, I am not afraid. What I fear most is this kind of magical thing, because the brain will produce associations and are completely uncontrollable. Under the impact of countless terrifying associations, even if people are not scared to death, they will be scared crazy.

I doubt that the people who came in before were missing, and I was even more curious about how this Hell Forest was formed. At least I still haven't seen traces of artificial carving until now, but if it was really formed naturally, I really couldn't believe it.
