Chapter 009: Menghu

The night was dark, and the starry sky suddenly darkened.

The river was surging, and suddenly the wind began to blow, and it was endless.

The wind was not strong, but it was strange. It was a wind that came from all directions at the same time.

Moreover, the wind surging from all directions finally surrounded Wu Yan, and slowly accumulated, faintly showing a certain shape. In the end, it was in the shape of a whirlwind, slowly rotating around Wu Yan.

"It's ......"

The Evil Monarch, who had always been as calm as ice, unconsciously widened his eyes at this time, and muttered in disbelief. And Yan Huan on the side looked at the scene in front of him in horror, didn't believe what he saw at all, and shouted: "What is that!"

Ruan Jian originally had his back to Wu Yan, so he was the last one to see it, and he was stunned as soon as he turned around.

The figurines that have just fallen to the ground and cracked are falling apart more subtly. There was no more sound, no sound, but every tiny crack in the figurines was faintly glowing with a dark golden glow. In the glow, there were some strange red symbols.

The direction of the obscure strokes is neither words nor paintings, but it is also like words and paintings.

"Could it be ......" Sha Jun had a premonition in his heart, faintly feeling that this was not a good thing.

Over there, these obscure glows merged into the wind, and swirled around Wu Yan's body, and the gathered glow was already as tall as a person, surrounding Wu Yan. Those strange symbols also followed the ghostly light towards Wu Yan.

Yan Huan couldn't help but look at his own Langjun, and said very uneasily: "Little lady, she ......"

This scene made the jade handle tail in Ruan Jian's hand almost fall out of his hand, the corners of his mouth touched imperceptibly, and he said in surprise: "These spell spirits ......"

The spell spirits that inhabited the "figurines" actually flocked to that person in unison.

Almost instantly, they couldn't see Wu Yan's situation. Because those symbols then formed a bell around them, covering Wu Yan.

They know in their hearts that even if they are in a hurry, they can only wait quietly at this time. Because the slightest inappropriate action is a both. And what they didn't know was that Wu Yan inside had actually begun to suffer strange changes in his body, or rather, torture, as early as when all the "figurines" were broken and fell to the ground.

At that moment, Wu Yan not only clearly heard the cracking sound ringing in his ears, but also clearly "saw" the cracking picture. But the question is, how can she see her eyes when she still has her eyes closed?

What's even stranger is that the picture is not only clear, but also subtle to the point of subtlety. It's like she has a microscopic camera in her eyes.

The direction and distribution of the cracks when the terracotta figurines were broken, and even the fine crushed powder raised, were all taken into Wu Yan's eyes.

Such a terrifying sensory experience startled Wu Yan. And the extremely impactful sense of realism and oppression carried by the picture made her feel confused and suffocated. For Wu, the feeling was far more than her fear of huge objects.

The feelings mixed together and came rushing towards her, and she felt like she was going crazy. Compared to the aura of death when all the "figurines" attacked her just now, Wu Yan felt that this feeling of going crazy was even more torturous.

When you die, it's all over, but if you're crazy, it's not over.

In the face of death, Wu Yan did not feel hopeless, but in the face of madness, Wu Yan felt hopeless.

In desperation, she remembered that when she was a child, when her drunkard father beat her mother drunk, he always yelled, "You crazy woman!" Later, other children would laugh at her, "Your mother is a madman!

But the irony is that these bad memories of the past are now distracting Wu Yan's uneasiness and fear of the current situation.

Wu Yan clearly felt that under the violent struggle of consciousness, chaos and suffocation, oppression and fear were alleviated. It's as if there is a pair of gentle hands invisibly, soothing all the uneasiness in her heart and calming her down.

But as soon as she calmed down, her body immediately endured a new round of torture.

This time, she felt several strange waves of heat rushing into her body from outside her body.

The scorching and menacing heat, scorching like a fire burning the plain, and also raging like a flood, made Wu Yan feel that the blood in his whole body was boiling and surging slightly. It's just that after a while, it cools and shrinks bizarrely quickly. And then, tormenting her so repeatedly.

These two completely opposite extreme experiences made Wu Yan feel dizzy, and his eyes seemed to be full of gold stars, full of silver flowers.

It was an extremely uncomfortable physical torture, alternating between cold and scorching heat. The unbearable pain of his body made Wu Yan scream. However, after screaming, she still had to grit her teeth and bear it, there was no other way.

At the moment when she felt that she couldn't bear it, she faintly felt that something seemed to exist between the fingers of her left hand. When his mind was moving, a strong greedy desire was stirring, driving Wu Yan to subconsciously grasp the possible thing.

In desperation, she can only gamble, betting that something she doesn't know what it is, is her lifeline at this time.

Wu Yan didn't have time to perceive what that thing was, she felt that the strange power that had suddenly surged into her body, sometimes burning like pulp and sometimes frosty, was slowly settling down, and seemed to be slowly surging towards the fingers of her left hand.

Then, Wu Yan strongly felt that these strange powers that had been settled down seemed to be merging with his own blood. Like electricity, it feels numb, sometimes like a small snake rushing forward, sometimes like a tadpole swimming slowly.

The torture just now had completely faded, and Wu Yan calmed down and carefully felt his limbs and even internal organs.

That faint feeling of overcharging made Wu Yan feel that this was a new feeling similar to the reactivation of cells in the whole body, as if there was a pure energy spontaneously born in the body.

But after a while, a wave of exhaustion surged over me. When Wu Yan was in a daze and was about to fall asleep, he seemed to smell a mellow fragrance, and the smell was like ......

Wine?

Just when Wu Yan felt that her body was about to fall to the ground, she felt that someone was holding her up.

At this time, his consciousness was already like a paste, and the dazed Wu Yan seemed to see the person's face clearly, but it was as if he didn't see it at all. She muttered to herself, "I ended up ...... I threw down the wine that the man told me to keep. Then he fell asleep in the man's arms.

"What just happened?" Yan Huan said with a wink of disbelief.

Just now they saw that those strange symbols were slowly decreasing, and then Wu Yan was slowly seen by them. So they saw that those spell spirits with ghostly light were merging into Wu Yan's body. And the entrance was on her left hand.

At this time, looking at Yan Huan, who was still slightly glowing on Wu Yan's body, seemed to have come back to his senses, but he was stunned for a moment.

Because she felt it strongly, her body had a tingling sensation, although it was very short, but that real feeling would not be fake.

And in the process of the itching feeling gradually disappearing, Yan Huan found that his limbs were full of refreshment.

...... What could it be?

Yan Huan looked at the stars reflected on the river in a daze, so bright and so calm.

All this really felt like a dream.

She suddenly remembered what Lang Jun said before, "Those who don't know the existence of the present, those who are awakened, and those who dream are the ones?" (Note)

Yes, are we awake or dreaming in this world?
