Under the rising sun, in the young leaves of the new forest, two figures disappeared one after the other.

As an old student of Yuanzheng, Chen Mu's understanding of Baoyan Road is far greater than that of Li Luo. But except for the class group activity in his freshman year, he never entered it again.

What seemed like an unremarkable step, the situation in front of the two of them had changed greatly, the deep forest road disappeared, replaced by nine paths with different light and shade under their feet, and the entrance of each path was written with special road signs, such as courage, perseverance, determination, knowledge reserves, diligence and so on.

At a glance, you can also see the appearance of the test site at the end of the path, including mountains, forests, deserts, oceans, isolated islands, and so on.

The two of them were very emotional, these are the hard work of the first principal of Yuanzheng, and they are also the testimony of a great mother. sacrificing herself to achieve countless latecomers, it can be seen that she not only makes up for the debt she owes to her daughter, but also regards all students as her own children, and tries her best to help and protect them.

"Let's go to the anti-stress field. ”

Li Luo reminded softly, and Chen Mu readily agreed that anti-pressure training was just right for him now.

Walking into the anti-pressure path, the scene in front of me changed again, and nine more paths appeared in the same way. This time, without Li Luo's guidance, Chen Mu made a choice on his own: terror and resistance, a path to the gloomy path.

"I'm afraid the situation inside will make you feel uncomfortable, or are you outside?"

Li Luozheng had this intention, what she planned was to stand outside and guide with her voice, and entering the two of them together would make the trial twice as difficult, but after listening to Chen Mu's words, she knew that she needed to prove it.

"I'm a dream interpreter, I'm able to stay awake in any dream world, you should think about what you can handle, double the difficulty can be intimidating. ”

"It's okay, I'm worried that the scene is too simple for me to feel. ”

"Are you sure? Although the rules of this dream world are incomplete, you are now physically entering, and if you are traumatized, you will also feel pain when you return to reality. If something happens to you, you may be in a coma for a few days. ”

Chen Mu didn't answer, of course he knew this, and walked into the darkness without looking back to show his decision. Li Luo hesitated a little, but after thinking about it, he still followed.

————

Boom –

The dark night sky poured down, and a thunderclap of electricity exploded in the deep sky.

In the dilapidated thatched hut, Chen Mu woke up from the clammy and cold bed.

He looked around, dark and sticky, and intermittent droplets of water dripped from the roof, drenching half of the thin and hard quilt.

Suddenly feeling someone around him, he reached out and touched it, and Wen Wen softly startled him: it was a child's little feet.

"It's me, Li Luo, do you remember?"

"I know. ”

In the dark, Li Luo, who looked like a girl at this time, showed a surprised expression on her little face, and was quickly relieved: it seems that the other party's dream interpretation talent has not completely disappeared, and he can stay awake temporarily.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is supposed to be the home of the first headmaster when she was a child, and we have her identity as a child. ”

Chen Mu nodded, with some memories in his heart: I thought that the whole class came out of the river together to be embarrassed, it was nothing, after all, everyone's memories at that time were brothers and sisters with the same father and mother. But he was sober throughout the whole process, and others only realized it afterwards, which caused everyone to be embarrassed to invite him to walk the road of Baoyan again.

Without the motivation to accompany and take the postgraduate examination, Chen Mu never walked the road of Baoyan again.

"Muzi, Luoluo, get up quickly, you're going to be late!"

As soon as Li Luo's words were finished, the rotten wooden door had been opened, and a young woman brought a kerosene lamp.

"I'm almost late for work, and the meal is on the table, so remember to eat before leaving. Luoluo, you help me buy a bag of salt back. I'll give you an extra copper plate today, keep it safe, and supervise your brother not to buy anything else unrelated, one steamed bun per person at noon. ”

The woman put the money in a burlap bag embroidered with flowers, and the kerosene lamp was left on the old bedside table, and hurried to work.

The two of them got up embarrassed to get dressed, and there were many small puddles on the dirt floor where their feet were stepping. When I walked out of the room, I found that this grass hut was not small, with a total of five or six halls, in addition to the ancestral hall, three animal locks and one with a pile of miscellaneous items.

Two small bowls of hot fried rice sit on the living room table, and a plate of blackened leftovers is next to it. In this day and age, this is no longer simple.

"You can pass this level as long as you arrive at the school before eight o'clock, and the rain outside hasn't stopped, so don't wait. ”

Li Luo seemed to be very curious about the layout of the thatched house, and kept looking back and forth, left and right. Supposedly, a dream world with incomplete rules shouldn't be so real, but she couldn't see anything wrong.

The house was so dilapidated that there was nothing to worry about. Chen Mu felt that the only thing to see was the person in front of her, the teenage Xiaoluoluo was pleasing to the eye, fully interpreting what a beautiful embryo is, and a coarse cloth patch did not affect her cuteness at all.

"We don't have time to go, the five-kilometer mountain road is still to go, and it's raining, and we don't know what other checkpoints the principal has set up. ”

"Huh, do you know the way to school?"

Li Luo was a little stunned, the dream master would generally give his own set of the characters in the dream world, but the person who entered must exchange it with real memories. Among them, dream interpreters are more special, because they have a lucid talent and can not be exchanged, but obtain memories by analyzing the dream power of the character, as long as the dream power of the dream character does not exceed its mental power.

However, Chen Muming still has a memory of reality, how can he remember the route to school? Could it be that his dream is fake?

"I also think it's strange, don't talk nonsense, prepare torches first, there is no flashlight at this time, only torches. ”

Chen Mu casually changed the topic, found a small iron can in the corner, spread a layer of hay on the bottom layer, and sandwiched the coals left over from the woman's fried rice into it, and then stuffed the hay again.

"What are you doing here?"

"Just in case, if the torch goes out halfway, we don't have a lighter. ”

Li Luo seems to understand whether he understands or not, and always feels that this person seems to be able to clear the customs without his own guidance.

Following Chen Mu's example, Li Luo found a few corn stalks and crushed them, and then tied them tightly with straw. After igniting it, the two of them carried heavy school bags and went into the darkness.

It's already winter, and the thunder makes the sky and the earth look weird. The rugged mountain roads after the rain are even more difficult to walk, and from time to time you can see the mud brought by the flowing water washing over the mountains blocking the road.

Chen Mu walked in front, carrying a small fire pot with the demeanor of a schoolboy in the mountainous area, imagining that he was the messenger of light in this world.

This reckless and dead darkness makes people panic. Anyone who enters it will rise up a sense of loneliness and helplessness that the whole dark world is only a living person. It's hard to imagine how a teenage girl has persevered for many years.

Li Luo was left far behind, she underestimated a dream world created by a sixth-level dream master, even if it was broken, it was not something she could easily crack now.

The darkness around her was as silent as a physical entity, and she always felt that there were countless beasts lurking around her. Even if she was conscious, she gradually panicked, staring down at the potholed path and not daring to look, staggering to speed up her pace to catch up with the front.

"Oops!"

Finally, Li Luo, who went to school like this for the first time in her life, slipped under her feet, but fortunately she didn't fall: someone helped her in time.

"Thank you"

"It's me who thank you for being kind enough to accompany me to such a place to suffer. Give me your bag, you go ahead. ”

Li Luo didn't refuse, she really felt very difficult, Chen Mu's breezy appearance made her feel a little unhappy in her heart: Is this to be sober?

"That person called you Muzi just now?"

Li Luo took the initiative to stir up the topic, wanting to use chat to divert his fear of darkness.

"It's so hard to be conscious, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Chen Mu, a native of Zhengjing, a senior student at Yuanzheng University. ”

"You're also from Jeongkyo?"

"Listen to this tone, you're an old ......."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Mu stopped abruptly, and made a silent posture with a serious expression.

"Don't make a fuss, let's go!"

"What's wrong?"

Li Luo was puzzled, subconsciously followed the other party's gaze, and immediately regretted it: under the slope not far ahead, a white firelight illuminated the scene near it, but still only the outline of a new tomb could be seen. The new tomb was built on a small irregular terrace. At this moment, a woman dressed in linen and filial piety was kneeling in front of the grave and burning paper.

"Hey, what are you going to do?"

To Chen Mu's surprise, after he reminded him, Li Luo actually left the right road and walked straight to the new tomb.

"He is an absolutely sober person, and he is really bold. ”

Chen Mu secretly admired the bizarre and inexplicable bride who went to the grave in this dark and dead cold night, which made him feel creepy unconsciously, but he didn't expect a weak woman to be afraid at all.

In order to alleviate his fear, Chen Mu planned to cheat. He closed his eyes and released his spiritual power—everything in the dream world was woven from dream power, and only the spiritual power of the dream interpreter could be decomposed. If you use your spiritual power as your vision, you can see through all the vanity in front of you.

Unfortunately, he was disappointed!

He released all the tens of billions of spiritual power in disbelief, but he couldn't penetrate the cracks of his dream power at all, and what he saw was still an eerie and dark scene.

"I forgot, this is a sixth-level dream world. ”

Chen Mu shook his head and smiled bitterly, the ability of the sixth-level dream master coupled with the selfless mind of the first principal, there are at least a hundred billion dream powers here, and its complexity has reached an outrageous level, which is not something that he can break through as a second-level dream interpreter.

Suddenly, he thought of a question, since the second-level dream interpreters were powerless, what about Li Luo? Could it be that she had the ability to crack it?

Thinking of this, Chen Muxin had a bad premonition, and when he looked at it again, Li Luo was almost at the woman's side.

"Wait!"

Chen Mu was anxious, threw down his schoolbag and hurriedly ran, three steps and two steps to rush his head, and the wet and slippery grass almost made him fall several times.

Just as Li Luo's little hand was on the woman's shoulder, Chen Mu arrived in time and hugged the other party.

Not good, under inertia, the two of them hit the tombstone at a constant speed.

The brazier was kicked into the air by Chen Mu, and the burning paper money fell all over the sky, and in the firelight, Chen Mu saw the woman's raised face: white and colorless, with seven bloody holes, and threw a cruel smile at him.

The imaginary impact did not happen, it was just a trance, and Chen Mu found himself falling to the ground: the tombstone was clearly an illusory stone gate.

"You can get up!"

Chen Mu jumped up when he heard this: No wonder he didn't feel much pain, it turned out that there was someone under him.

Li Luo didn't blame, he knew that Chen Mu was kind, and said with some fear at the moment: "The dream power of the first principal is too high, and I want to decompose it with hundreds of billions of spiritual power, but I am involved in it." ”

The corners of Chen Mu's eyes jumped: Hundreds of billions of spiritual power, at least ten levels higher than him, a big level!

"It seems that we have to deal with it with a different way of thinking, according to our level of spiritual power, we can't break through at all, but we may fall deeper and deeper. And the principal's setting is aimed at ordinary people, so why don't we look at it from the perspective of ordinary people?"

Although this statement is reasonable, there are also new difficulties: how do ordinary people deal with ghosts and gods?
