Rain, rain, rain!
"Boom—boom!"
Thirty miles of dark clouds covered the sky, and their power was so great that it seemed as if the sky was about to collapse.
There are desolate mountains and wilderness, with no human habitation and gusts of evil wind.
There is a temple located on the top of the mountain. It looks particularly dilapidated, and the roof is even leaking.
And in this dilapidated temple, there are three fair and tender little monks.
One of them is short, one is fat, and the other is tall and thin.
Three little monks gathered around a fire, slowly beating wooden fish in their hands.
The sound of Buddha is faint and there should be peace.
But Chen Xi, who was leaning against a headless Buddha statue, didn't think so.
Chen Xi knew very well that if there was no Buddha statue behind him, he would have been skinned and eaten alive.
This can also be confirmed from the glances that the three seemingly harmless little monks gave him inadvertently.
The greed and salivation in their eyes are chilling, it feels like looking at some delicious food!
As for who this delicacy is referring to, the answer seems to be obvious...
"Three days..."
Chen Xi felt heavy in his heart, his face was full of fatigue, and he looked very weak.
This was the third day since he came to this world for unknown reasons.
During this period, not even a grain of rice entered his stomach!
When they were thirsty, they could only drink the rain water dripping from the holes in the roof tiles above their heads and barely survive.
This kind of situation was something he could never have imagined before he traveled through time.
If it were an ordinary person, he would have been unable to bear the pressure and would have done something impulsive.
But Chen Xi is different. It's not that his character is different from ordinary people, but that he still has something to rely on.
Thinking of this, the only glimmer of hope left in his eyes fell on the human skin paper tightly held in his hand.
The human skin is yellowish and feels delicate and smooth.
What was surprising was that as Chen Xi stroked it, lines of words appeared silently on the human skin.
And the content of the bloodstained text was exactly what was going to happen in the future!
That's right!
As Chen Xi's greatest reliance, this piece of human skin paper that inexplicably appeared on his body has the function of inferring the future!
This point is somewhat similar to the golden fingers of those simulated novels in previous lives.
However, Chen Xi's human parchment has limitations and can only be used once a day.
And it was because of this function that Chen Xi knew that the headless Buddha statue behind him could temporarily protect him from being harmed by demons.
As for why it is temporary...
Chen Xi looked at the contents he had previously deduced on the human skin paper with a complicated expression.
[On the first day, I woke up from the ruined temple and knew nothing about my surroundings.]
[I wanted to go out, but found that outside there were ghosts howling and the air was gloomy, and dark clouds covered the sky, as if it was going to rain heavily.]
[Seeing this situation, I had no choice but to hide in the ruined temple temporarily. ]
[The headless Buddha statue in the dilapidated temple gave me a sense of security. ]
[When a heavy rain was about to fall, three monks rushed into the temple to take shelter from the rain. ]
[I was very excited at first, but then I realized that they didn't seem to be human! ]
[And they covet me so much that they even want to eat me! ]
[However, it seems that because of the Buddha statue, they did not act rashly, but used words to entice me to leave the Buddha statue.]
[I was cautious and smart, so I didn't fall for it. ]
[On the second day, they became a little impatient, and the look they gave me out of the blue frightened me.]
[Late at night, I was extremely hungry, so I wanted to sneak away while they were sleeping.]
[However, I never expected that this was actually a cunning trap set by them to lure me out! ]
[Fortunately, because they were not on the same page, I managed to escape back to the Buddha statue while they were fighting over the items.]
[On the third day, what happened last night made me exhausted both physically and mentally, and I no longer dared to take risks easily.]
[In this situation, I plan to wait and see if there is any kind-hearted person passing by who can save my life.]
[On the fourth day, the continuous heavy rain stopped, which seemed to be a good sign.]
[As expected, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the three little monks seemed to be unable to endure it.]
[They began to take turns to rest, but I had learned from my previous experience and didn't plan to take any risks.]
[Finally, after careful consideration, I decided to shout for help to see if I could attract the immortal.]
[After all, in my opinion, since there are monsters in this world, there must be fairies as well! ]
[And even if it doesn't work, I can still keep these monsters awake at night. ]
[This plan of killing two birds with one stone, after I shouted for a day, except that the monster became more annoyed by my noise, it had no other effect. ]
[On the fifth day, when I opened my eyes, I found myself in a pot! ]
[Somehow, the headless Buddha statue lost its function while I was sleeping.]
[The firewood crackled, and amid my screams, the three monks revealed their true forms.]
[Those were three monkeys, one without a mouth, one without ears, and one without eyes.]
[But these are no longer important to me. ]
[The fire is high and the meat is fragrant. I am dead and have become a meal for the monster...]
This is what the human skin paper presented to Chen Xi on the first day.
The next day, because of Chen Xi, no one could think of any way to break the impasse.
As a result, the ending is basically the same.
However, Chen Xi did not gain nothing. At least he found out that the Buddha statue would become ineffective on the fifth day!
"Indeed, I can't pin my hopes on some so-called immortal coming to save me."
Chen Xi sighed deeply. After shouting for so many days, he was very clear about this.
No matter how much he shouted during these days, even if he screamed his throat out, no one would come to rescue him in this remote wilderness.
Now, the only one who can keep him alive is himself!
Fortunately, Chen Xi is not a person who gives up easily, and he doesn't want to die yet!
His survival instinct allowed him to think calmly.
"Given my current physical condition, it is obviously impossible for me to run out."
"And this Buddha statue behind me can only protect me until the morning after tomorrow."
"Without knowing why the Buddha statue has lost its effectiveness, we cannot just sit there and wait for it to die."
"It seems that we still have to start with those three monkeys..."
"By the way, they don't seem as harmonious as they appear?"
Chen Xi fumbled with the human skin in his hand, his heart pounding.
No one could understand the pressure and tension he was under at the moment. If he was not careful, he would be cooked to death!
"Let's fight!"
"If it doesn't work, I'll just hit my head against it and die. It's better than being boiled alive..."
Chen Xi gritted his teeth and bit open the old scab on his finger with ease.
Drops of blood flowed down Chen Xi's fingertips and were smeared on the human skin paper.
Soon, the human skin paper responded, and the new words gradually covered the previous content.
However, the smell of blood seemed to have attracted the attention of the three monks.
The wooden fish was struck more violently, and the breathing sounds in the dilapidated temple became noticeably heavier.
Chen Xi glanced over and saw that the three monks had stopped reciting the Buddhist scriptures and were all staring at him intently!
