40. Dream within a dream

Once Chen Qian began to think seriously, if he didn't pay attention to it, it was easy to ignore the surrounding environment, so he didn't realize what was going on at all.

At this time, the street was empty, leaving only some small stalls full of goods, the smoke from the steamed bun shop in front was still rising, and the half bowl of wontons next to the stall selling the wontons was smashed on the table with the soup, spilling a small piece of water that had not yet evaporated.

The people who were originally bustling on the street seemed to have suddenly evaporated, and the surrounding silence was terrifying.

He didn't have any fear of it, he took two steps very calmly, and seeing that the spirit silk could not detect the location of the disappeared person, he simply gave up this useless behavior and turned to study the second red thread.

Or rather, that's actually the first one.

After all, he took Tan Li first, so the first thread was naturally used on Tan Li, and at that time he was not out of the state of Ji Xiaomeng. It just so happened that there was no medium available to him at the time, so he simply wrapped the thread around himself.

At this time, it came in handy, and when he noticed that the line was trembling, the minister tightened the red line and rushed to the side of the line quickly.

No matter what happens now, you still have to find Tan Li first, since the red line is moving, it means that Tan Li's current state of spiritual power fluctuates greatly, and I don't know what happened.

Running through the deserted streets, the red line stretched all the way to where they guessed the lantern riddle last night, and it was actually broken out of thin air. Chen Qian grabbed the red line inch by inch and groped for the other side, until it reached the end, and the red line strangely passed through a few scattered blood stains on the ground, and then disappeared.

He crouched down to take a closer look, but a poisoned dart slammed into the ground against his cheek, glowing a terrible black. The dart was aimed directly at his face, but his instinct detected it long before the dart arrived, and he ducked with a slight tilt of his head.

When I looked up, I didn't find anyone, and it was still dead silent.

It's weird...... Chen Qian wanted to think about something, but his mind was in a mess, and he instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of the reason.

Where is this? Why is he here?

Odd.

Why is there a red thread tied to your hand?

Wait a minute.

What is he looking for?

The minister opened his hand, his eyes trying to see more clearly, but he couldn't see clearly.

I am, what am I here for?

He was stunned when another dart flew straight towards his chest, but the minister only dodged it on one side. At this time, he looked at the clothes on his body, which were the jeans and shirts he often wore in modern times.

Is there something wrong?

The minister dodged the pillar and dodged the third dart, which was thrown so hard that it was stuck in the wooden pillar and trembled. He hid behind the pillar, and the sound was very clear to his ears, but it gave him a feeling that it was coming from some medium, and he heard it clearly, but in his mind he felt that it was not very clear, and it was very strange.

He didn't know anything about the current situation, and he couldn't recall the inheritance of his memories at the moment, as if he was just an ordinary person now.

Chen Qian rolled up the sleeve of his shirt, and the red thread was still tightly tied around his wrist. But this time, the direction of the red line traction has changed, and it extends to the road where he came. Looking around, they still couldn't find the person throwing the dart. My mind was messed up, and my instinct was to go to the line.

Walking through the deserted streets, following the red line, soon came to an inn with a modest faΓ§ade. When I came, I didn't remember anything I saw on the way. He wanted to look back, but his body uncontrollably pushed open the closed door and walked in.

It feels weird.

After Chen Qian came in, he took a very careful look at the layout of the inn, the tables and chairs were very neatly arranged, and on the counter to the left of the entrance was a half-opened broken ledger, and a brush that was not stained with ink was placed on it.

The red line is not yet at the end of the road. Without much thought, the minister continued to walk up the stairs, and the old wooden planks creaked as if they had borne a lot of weight.

He was standing in front of a room, and the red thread happened to pass through the door, leading to an unknown place behind the door.

He slowly pushed it away, and saw the familiar but unfamiliar decoration inside. This is a very luxurious room, both the tablecloths, the curtains and the curtains are made of the best materials. The vases and other decorations placed around are also very valuable, and Chen Qian doesn't know how he sees it, so he subconsciously feels that this thing is very expensive. When I walked into the room, I lifted the agate bead curtain in the inner room, and the bead curtain crackled and collided together, making a nice sound.

There was a jade tray on the table, with only two small bowls, two spoons, and a small Gu in it.

Although it has never been opened, Chen Qian has such an intuition.

There was a faint sound behind the door, and he hurried back to close the door, and then tightened the curtain to prevent it from making a sound.

Soon the voice was gone, and Chen Qian breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the bed.

The bed had a black curtain, and it was impossible to see what was inside.

The red thread went straight into the curtain.

He didn't have time to think about anything, he directly lifted the curtain and saw something wrapped in a black quilt, forming a human-shaped bulge.

He felt his hands tremble a little, but he lifted the quilt anyway.

In the quilt was a man.

A good-looking man, who looks like a fairy.

The man was lifted from the quilt, opened his eyes and looked at him in surprise, and then blurted out "......"

He couldn't hear what the man was saying, but he felt that this person was inexplicably familiar, and this street, this house was too familiar, as if he had been here before.

The man continued to speak, and gradually the ministers heard the voice getting louder and clearer.

He said, "Ministers, ministers." ”

That's his pen name. Why would anyone call him a pen name like the second middle school to die?

"Minister. ”

"Minister. ”

"Wake up. ”

Wake up? Why isn't he awake when he's standing here so clearly now?

"Wake up!" the voice sounded like someone was talking to his ear.

Chen Qian inexplicably felt that the world was spinning for a while, and then he climbed onto the bed and covered the quilt with his hands.

The quilt was nice to the touch, silky and silky, and I don't know what was filled in the middle, but it was much softer than cotton.

Chen Qian suddenly opened his eyes.

His vision was blurry, he closed his eyes, and the objects in front of him suddenly became clear again. Look at the furnishings, this is the inn where he and Tan Li stayed last night, and he is now lying on the bed covered with a quilt.

Just...... Are you dreaming? Rubbing his eyebrows, Chen Qian sat up and looked around, but it was still empty.

The dream was really real, although it still feels inexplicable in retrospect.

The thoughts in my head are very chaotic, and I can't connect them all the time. Chen Qian simply gave up and didn't want to, and got out of bed to find out where Tan Li was. He looked down at his wrist, and the red thread was gone, as if it had never been there.

He was a little flustered in his heart, and then looked at the clothes on his body, which was still the white shirt in his dream, with several black buttons side by side.

Breathless, he hesitated to unbutton the top of his shirt, but it didn't work, so he unbuttoned the second and third. After quenching it, I felt thirsty.

It feels ...... It's weird.

Poor breathing...... Not...... So thirsty.

"Water...... Thirsty. He muttered, and then someone brought a cup and brought warm water to his mouth.

After a while, I heard the faint sound of the fabric rubbing, and a warm object was pressed to my lips, and a mouthful of water was crossed.

He subconsciously felt settled.

His eyelids jumped, and he finally woke up.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Tan Li's worried face was magnified and displayed in front of him, he subconsciously put his hand on his face and pushed it out, hearing Tan Li breathe a sigh of relief, "You finally woke up." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What's going on?"

"You seem to be in a nightmare. Tan Li stretched out his hand and touched his forehead, "When you walked to the place where you guessed the lantern riddle last night, you suddenly fainted, and you couldn't wake up no matter how you called, so I took you back to the inn first." ”

Chen Qian nodded to indicate that he knew, his brain was still very painful, but this time he at least didn't think of anything like in his dream. This really made him feel a little more secure.

"It's good to wake up, it's just that my current cultivation can't probe your condition. You...... Is there a big deal? Do you know what's going on?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Anyway. Chen Qian lifted the quilt and got off the bed. He was wearing the silver-rimmed white robe.

He just had a dream within a dream.

But Chen Qian didn't understand why he suddenly fell asleep and dreamed.

There are some memories of plain dreams in the inheritance, but they don't match his current situation, so there is no way to study them.

"What time is it?"

"It's time. Tan Li pushed open the window and pointed to the lights outside, the sky was already dark.

"I slept all day?"

Tan Li nodded.

"Are you still going today?" he seemed to be in a good mood.

"Nope. Chen Qian shook his head, "It seems that someone doesn't want me to go now, so I'll wait." ”

"Hmm, then what do you want to do with Guoqi?"

"This kind of luck is useful. Chen Qian looked at the lights outside the window, went up and closed the window, "It will be of great help to you to unify the cultivation realm." ”

"Hmm. Tan Li didn't say that he had secretly controlled most of the forces of the Flowing Fire Sect, and even turned a large number of demon cultivators of some small sects into his own forces. As long as he cultivates and is promoted a little more, he will be able to overpower the sect master in one fell swoop. Having mastered the number one sect of the Flowing Fire Sect, the other forces are naturally no problem.

Tan Li didn't say that he had already used his limited resources to find his ministers, but he never found anything. Every time he heard the news from his subordinates about the appearance of the "suspected" ministers, he had to go and see it, even if he knew that the chances of running into the ministers were pitiful.

He kept in mind everything the minister said to him.

Although sometimes he would wonder if Chen Qian was just making a joke on purpose for a seven-year-old child.

…… It's just that.

…… Whether it's a joke or not, since you've already agreed, don't think about leaving rashly.

Tan Li smiled shyly, "You are so good to me, what do I want to repay you?"

"Promise by body?" the minister habitually blurted out.

Then I saw the smile in Tan Li's eyes deepen, "Okay." ”

"What a ghost, I'm kidding. Chen Qian glanced at him, and the picturesque beauty dazzled his eyes again, but in the end he was still resolute. "What kind of nonsense do you think, do you think this is acting in a novel? ”

"So you're disgusting me?" Tan Li's face was full of disbelief. "You hate me???"

"How can I dislike you?"

"Aren't you disgusted?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You think too much, I don't ......"

"You dislike me! You actually dislike me!" Tan Li covered his chest with his hands, and his eyes were red, as if he was about to shed tears. "Do you hate me anymore, don't you think I'm annoying, how can I make you unhappy?"

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong. "The ministers hurriedly stabilized this little ancestor. "I'm wrong, you're strong, smart, powerful and capable, how can I dislike you. ”

"So you mean you think I'm ugly?!"

"Of course you're not ugly!" Chen Qian hurriedly explained, "You're the best-looking person I've ever met." ”

"Am I the best in your mind?"

"Yes, you're the best looking in my heart. Chen Qian was originally puzzled how this pair of whites became more and more strange, but when he saw Tan Li's finally satisfied face, he was still relieved, and he was in no mood to think more.

finally coaxed the female ticket.

…… Wait, where did I get the female ticket?!

…… excuseme???

Meanwhile, on the other side of the continent, in a rift jungle known for its abundant aura, but extremely dangerous. With oil on the corner of his mouth, a handsome young man holding only half of a roast chicken in his hand poked a muddy humanoid object lying on the ground with a twig.

"It's strange, there is a forbidden spell blockade from the master, how can anyone still come in here?"

"It's mud all over his body, it's so miserable, is he going to make himself a flower chicken? ”

"Is this dead? Is the meat still good when it's dead?"

"Well, forget it. Zhong Mingming threw away the leftover bones on the ground, pulled a few clean leaves, and wiped his somewhat greasy fingers. "Human flesh is not delicious, the master said that human flesh is sour, oops, sour meat, how unpalatable it is. ”

He muttered to himself for a moment at the clay figure, and saw that the clay figure moved slightly, as if he had regained consciousness. He immediately rose from the ground with joy. "Even if you can't eat it, since it's a job, you should be able to play with me. Shizun won't let me go out, ah, why is there only three months left, I want to go out, I really want to eat hot pot, osmanthus cake, sweet and sour loin, fried prawns, Fu jumping over the wall, kung pao chicken, tomatoes, beef, plum vegetables, and pork ......"

As if stimulated by his words, the clay figure moved from the ground, sat up on his knees and coughed twice, sliding down with damp muddy dripping water. The clay man shook the mud off his hand, wiped his face with his hand, and finally freed his eyes from the muddy water.

"Hey, are you awake?"

When Wei Chitang regained consciousness, he saw a handsome young man at first glance, and he smiled at her with a charming smile that captivated all beings.

It's just that the next moment she fell into a coma again because of her lack of body.

"Hey, hey, faint again?" Zhong Mingming poked the branch again, and when he saw that he didn't react, he took out a straw mat and wrapped the clay figurine. "Forget it, let's take it back first. So saying, he went to his cave.

In the evening, it was dark, and a candle flickered and lit up in the empty cavern. Under the light of the candle flame, the row of knives used to cook the stone on the stone wall pulled out a long, long shadow.
