Chapter 1: The Prison of Dreams
Chapter 1: The Prison of Dreams
"Clever people, stupid people, turn into dragons as soon as they fall into a dream.
Rich people, rich people, big dreams come out in vain.
............" A group of children shouted songs and chased and fought all the way. People come and go on the avenue in the civilian area of Black Cloud City, everyone is busy, and they are all running their own work, such ordinary people can be seen everywhere in the Terran territory on the Dream Continent, they are like worker ants in the ant colony, they go out early and return late, busy and busy for their livelihoods, and most of the output of their lives flows to the upper echelons, so everyone in the crowd only has numbness and envy and fear in the eyes of the rich area......
No one noticed the mocking smile on the face of a thin dark boy in the crowd when he heard the child's song, the boy was of ordinary stature and ordinary clothes, the only difference was that he had a maturity and tenacity in his eyes that was different from that of his peers.
The black thin boy's name is Zhang Yan, an ordinary name. His father's name is Zhang He, his mother's name is Meng Yunyao, because Zhang Yan's parents are Mengxiu, so his childhood life is rich and worry-free, when he was ten years old, his parents only left him a jade pendant, and told him not to lose it, so he left in a hurry and disappeared from then on. The family property left by his parents was a curse or a blessing for a ten-year-old child, and it was soon taken away by some insidious villains, and it was also called "borrowing", ten-year-old Zhang Yan was powerless to resist, and there were no relatives to turn to, so he lived on the streets for six years.
Zhang Yan stood in the crowd and smiled lightly when he heard the children's songs, looked at the unbearable silver light in the eyes of some people around him, and said in his heart: " Dream Dao Pavilion, Big Dream Gate, Illusion Realm, and Refining Weapon City, these four sects are the four top forces of the human race in the Dream Continent, which one of them can enter is not one in a million geniuses, and the person who can enter it will be a carp jumping through the dragon gate from now on, and you can ascend to the sky in one step, and let it soar in the nine heavens, how can such a good thing fall on you and me, even if the pie really falls from the sky, I will definitely grab it by myself, instead of waiting for the pie to fall into my mouth with my mouth open, now I only have one wish, that is, to become a dream cultivator as soon as possible, only in this way, can I have the ability to find my parentsγ Thinking of this, Zhang Yan looked at the tallest building in the Black Cloud City in the distance, the Dream Governor's Courtyard, tightly grasped the jade pendant left by his parents in his hand, and muttered to himself: "Dad, Mom, where are you?" Yan'er has been looking for you for six years, tomorrow is Yan'er's sixteenth birthday, Yan'er will open the dream world tomorrow, I hope you can bless Yan'er to successfully open the dream world and become a dream cultivator, so that our family can reunite faster." β
Because of the continuous battles between the Terrans and the Dream Beast Clan, every Terran territory has a Dream Governor's Courtyard, and every Terran who has reached the age of sixteen has the opportunity to awaken to the Dream Governor's Academy.
Zhang Yan grabbed the jade pendant in his hand, wiped it lightly with his hands, and solemnly put it back in his clothes, lowered his head and continued the work at hand. As the saying goes, dreams must be there, and so must you fill your stomach.
As twilight sank, Zhang Yan finished his day's work, returned to his rented house, slammed himself on the only bed that existed in the empty house, touched the hard work of the day in his pocket, and the only three copper coins left after the cost of eating, laughed at himself in his heart: "Hehe, it's really poor and white!"
At this time, Zhang Yan lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep, so he turned his body and looked sideways at the only window in the house, the five moons in the night sky outside the window quietly projected gold, blue, blue, red, and yellow moonlight to the earth, and the stars were densely packed in the sky one by one.
When the five moons in the sky rose to the middle, the moon reached the full moon, and the brilliance at this time was the brightest time in the night, in the invisible world, a trace of invisible light broke away from the brilliance of the moon, and slowly entered the jade pendant on Zhang Yan's chest. With the passage of time, the moon shifted, and the light absorbed by the jade pendant gradually decreased, until it disappeared completely, and the whole process was silent, without alarming anyone, including Zhang Yan, who was sleeping deeply.
When Zhang Yan woke up, the sky was just slightly bright, looking at the sun outside the window, which had already revealed most of his head, and hurriedly a carp stiffened and began to quickly get dressed, when the shirt was halfway through, Zhang Yan's consciousness gradually sobered up, and then he patted his head, "Oh, what a stupid! Am I not going to the Prison of Dreams today? I don't have a job!"
As an old oilman who has been in the civilian area for many years, Zhang Yan knows very well that if he goes to look for a job after the sun comes out, then he can only say sorry, you should be early tomorrow! And having such a performance today is also a habit that has been cultivated over the years.
Zhang Yan put on his clothes, washed up briefly, simply found some breakfast to pad his stomach, and walked towards the Governor's Dream Courtyard after moving for a while.
As the day when the Dream Governor opened the dream world, it was naturally also the day when a group of teenagers and girls might really turn into dragons. Along the way, teenagers and girls walked in pairs, followed by their parents, the spacious avenue was full of people, so lively, When passing by the rich area, the entire avenue was full of exclamations, "Look! That's the Huoyun Lion, a dream beast at the top of the beast soldier, it is difficult for ordinary dream cultivators of the same level to enter it, I really wish I had one." β
"Is that a flamingo? It's so fast, I don't know what it's like to sit on it?"
β............β
Whenever a mount passed by, it always caused some people to exclaim, and the whole avenue became a show field, reduced to a place for people to show off their wealth.
Zhang Yan walked on the road and looked at the place where he lived when he was a child, his thoughts were a little messy for a while, and his pace gradually slowed down. "The stinky boy in front, hurry up and get out of the way for me, dare to be the way of my young master, I don't want to live!" A middle-aged man riding a Huoyun Lion scolded, and there was a brocade boy with his eyes closed sitting behind the middle-aged man, who didn't know if it was a fake sleep, or a brocade boy who was really sleeping, the middle-aged man's voice just fell, only in the blink of an eye, the Huoyun Lion rushed to Zhang Yan's approach, and was about to bump into Zhang Yan, when suddenly a gray figure suddenly pounced from one side, hugged Zhang Yan and rolled to the side, narrowly passing by the Huoyun Lion.
"Why are you like this, don't you see this person?" shouted the figure who rescued Zhang Yan, at this time Zhang Yan had also come to his senses, and when he looked up, he saw a strong man more than two meters tall, and thought: "Oh my God! It's so tall! What did you eat to grow up, and you can't see the sun at all at this station!" Thinking of this, Zhang Yan pinched himself fiercely
"What are you thinking! People have saved your life, are you thinking about this?"
"It's okay, big brother, thank you for saving me, this is why I was stunned in the first place, it was me. Zhang Yan raised his head and said to the strong man.
"That's not going to work, if it weren't for me, you'd be killed, in case he bumped into someone else! No, he had to apologize for that. The strong man bowed his head and said to Zhang Yan.
"Little cub, are you looking for death, believe it or not, I hit you to death today, I have nothing to do!" the middle-aged man sat on the fire cloud lion and said with a condescending smile.
As soon as Zhang Yan and the strong man heard this, no matter how good their tempers were, they suddenly became angry, and when they opened their mouths to speak, the brocade-clothed young man sitting behind the middle-aged man spoke: "Lao Huang, don't waste time on these civilians, delay my big things, I want you to look good!"
"Yes, yes, yes, young master, I'm on my way. The middle-aged man turned back to the brocade-clothed boy and sneered,
"Don't let me see you next time, or I'll make you look good. After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he rode the Fire Cloud Lion and quickly left, leaving only a trail of dust in place.
Zhang Yan looked at the two figures leaving in the distance, slowly suppressed the anger in his heart, turned around and looked at the strong man with a grateful smile on his face and said, "Big brother, thank you for your help, if my brother hadn't met you today, I'm afraid it would have been more than lucky." β
My name is Stone, I'm only sixteen years old this year, and I'm going to the Dream Governor to participate in the Dream Awakening today. β
