The ruins of the temple, located in the deepest part of the northwestern plateau of China, are said to have been the place of practice of a Buddhist saint long ago.

However, after the sage became ancient, because of the passage of time and the erosion of time, his temple is long gone, leaving only a ruined wall, barren grass and ruins, and the silence here is beaten by the wind and rain.

And this is also the last stop of Yang Yu's trip on the plateau, after leaving Yanjing, he has been on this plateau for a month.

Although he really wanted to forget that memory, as long as he remembered it, he would still feel heartache and irrepressible sourness.

Looking at the pure sky, the weeds blown by the cold wind, and the stone walls standing in the ruins, his eyes gradually emptied, and he fell into memories again.

He was only 17 years old at the time, and he was still in his third year of high school, and his parents in the countryside spent all their efforts to support him in his studies, hoping that he could be admitted to university and get ahead.

But by an unexpected chance, he became obsessed with music and met several like-minded friends.

For an illusory dream, a group of young people formed a band called Blue Fire in an abandoned factory on the outskirts of Chang'an City.

The high-spirited couple made a vow together that they wanted to be famous, to make a lot of money, and to make their music heard by all.

For this oath, Yang Yu dropped out of the university he had just been admitted to, said goodbye to his parents, and came to Yanjing with several teammates, becoming one of the countless Yan Piao who pursued their dreams in Yanjing.

In Yanjing, in order to survive, they set up stalls, worked as short-term workers, and were so hungry that several people ate a bowl of instant noodles together.

Two years have passed like this, and two of the seven people who once came together were tempered by hard work and chose to quit.

And the last five of them, including him, can finally find a job as a resident singer in a bar in Yanjing, and not be as upside down as before.

Gradually, the name Blue Fire Band became a little bit of a thin name in the Yanjing underground music circle, and some record companies began to really notice them, and a contract appeared in front of them.

When Yang Yu thought that he would come to the end of hardship, reality told him what it meant to be impermanent.

It seems that in his heart, the memory can never forget that night, outside the courtyard rented by the band, he stood helplessly, and several teammates looked at him expressionlessly.

"Why! Why lie to me?"

He couldn't believe that his teammates, who he regarded as family, would betray him, and that he would be kicked out of the band after signing the contract.

"Yang Yu, accept the reality, you are already out. ”

It was the only woman in the band who spoke, and her name was Li Xue.

"Li Xue, tell me, why do you do this to me, the songs of the band are written by me, the activities are what I run, what am I not doing well. ”

For this woman, Yang Yu has a kind of sister-like dependence, and never imagined that the two would become like this.

Several teammates did not answer his question, perhaps it was the truth in his words that made several people rarely show a trace of unbearable expressions.

At that time, a young man walked out from behind several teammates, this person was Lin Xiyan, who was the representative of the record company that signed them.

"Your song, when you sign that contract, it's not your song. ”

Lin Xiyan looked at Yang Yu with a cruel expression, stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Li Xue's waist, and looked at him with disdain.

"I'm not afraid to tell you, Li Xue lived with me a month ago, and at that time we had already decided to let you get out, and I really thought I would hold you this stinky sling. ”

In Lin Xiyan's insults, he pounced frantically, but was stopped by several teammates.

Later, in Lin Xiyan's wild laughter, he escaped like a lost dog.

After that night, Lin Xiyan became the new lead singer of the Blue Fire Band, and he completely escaped from Yanjing, the place that made him sad.

He came to the plateau, away from the people, hoping that time would heal the pain in his heart.

"What's wrong with you?" a female voice rang out next to him as he fell into his memory.

Yang Yu's side, a tall woman looked at him, the woman's name was Xu Yue, and she was a model who came to the plateau to shoot photos.

Yang Yu is a prodigal character, plus he can play music, and his appearance is not bad, so he is very popular with girls, and he hooked up with many girls when he was in Yanjing before.

This Xu Yue hooked up with him yesterday in a traveler's bar on the plateau, playing the piano, and the two walked together and came to the ruins of this temple.

He can see that this Xu Yue is just playing with him, of course, he himself will not be serious, and it is estimated that people may not be able to look at him when they look at him.

Hearing Xu Yue's question, he didn't want to tell the other party the secret in his heart, and pointed to a herdsman selling souvenirs by the ruins.

"Let's go check it out. ”

"Okay, I'm leaving tomorrow, so I'm just going to buy a few souvenirs for my friends. ”

The two men walked past and saw in front of the herdsman a worn-out sheepskin, which was filled with all kinds of items, some brand new and some worn.

I don't know why, the moment Yang Yu saw the sheepskin, he was attracted by the string of dzi on the sheepskin that seemed to be a little dirty.

This string of dzi is black and white, and the pattern is a little messy, no matter how you look at it, it is very ordinary.

Picking up this string of dzi, Yang Yu asked the herdsmen: "How much is this?" ”

The other party replied in a thick accent: "Five hundred!"

Before Yang Yu could speak, Xu Yuexian next to him said loudly: "Five hundred is so expensive, I think it's fake, just one hundred, don't sell it." ”

The herdsman pretended to be unhappy and said, "At least three hundred, or let it go." ”

Xu Yue on the side still wanted to make a price, but was stopped by Yang Yu.

I don't know why, this string of dzi has an inexplicable attraction to him, and he took out three hundred yuan and still put it on the sheepskin, and he put the string of dzi on his hand.

The moment he put it on, he suddenly felt a coolness gushing out of the dzi and burrowing into his body.

I don't know that death is not an illusion, no matter how much he fiddles with the dzi, this feeling does not appear again.

The two who left the stall did not hear it, and the herdsman whispered in dialect: "What a fool to sell for three hundred pieces of rags that you picked up casually." ”

At night, Yang Yu rented a herdsman's tent next to the ruins.

After dark, Xu Yue suddenly got into his bed, and he was shocked, thinking that this girl who was a model was open.

Originally, I thought it would take a few days to get started, but I didn't expect the other party to be unbearable first, and when I thought of this, I joked: "What's the matter, there are rats in the nest." ”

Unexpectedly, Xu Yue didn't answer at all, and kissed him directly, and one hand slid towards his body.

Seeing that this girl was more vigorous than him, Yang Yu was not a righteous gentleman who sat still, so he hugged him with his backhand and kissed him.

The two of them fell into a passion in an instant, since they went to the plateau, this kind of thing Yang Yu has not experienced for the first time, sometimes indulging in desire, but it can make him forget a lot of sadness in his heart.

In the early hours of the morning, Yang Yu fell asleep tiredly, but when he had just fallen asleep, he fell into a strange dream.

In the dream, he arrives in a world of déjà vu, which is very similar to the real world, but different from each other.

In the dream, he became a stranger, and began to follow the perspective of the dreamer uncontrollably, experiencing everything that happened to the dreamer.

In this dream world, there are many places that are different from the real world, different people, different music, different movies, different literature, and it seems that the world has gone to another fork in the road in the same land.

Hear and see literature, music, TV series, movies, and more that are not available in reality.

Although Yang Yu didn't know what this dream world was, he understood that he had obtained a huge treasure.

People in dreams like to read a book "The Old Man and the Sea", and Yang Yu can be sure that in the real world, there is no such novel.

And when he followed the perspective of the man in the dream and read the sentence in the book, 'A man can be destroyed, but cannot be defeated', he suddenly felt his body spin in a whirlwind, as if falling into an endless abyss, followed by him from the bed and slammed his mount, waking up from the dream.

Putting on his clothes, Yang Yu left the tent where he lived and ran all the way to the ruins.

Looking at the desolate ruins in the moonlight, he remembered the words in the dream book, and he knew that he didn't have to run away anymore.

"A man can be defeated, but not destroyed!"

First muttering, then shouting, he repeated as he picked up a stone and carved the phrase into a stone wall.

This roar, this crazy repetition of the carving, seems to release the pain in my heart and the pain of being betrayed by my friends.

In the end, he finally vented everything in his heart, his whole body stopped weakly, looked at the words on the stone wall, and he returned to the tent to continue to rest.

When he woke up the next day, under Xu Yue's strange gaze, he looked at the dzi in his hand with excitement on his face.

After falling asleep again, he entered the dream world again, and he became another stranger, continuing to experience everything about that person.

After waking up, he could finally be sure that this dream was not accidental, it was indeed brought to him by this string of dzis.

Thinking of the cold eyes of those people, Yang Yu understood that this string of dzis, as well as the magical dream world, would be the power for him to regain all his strength.

With the help of the dream world, even in the face of the son-in-law of that entertainment company, he will have the strength to turn the tables.

Although every time I wake up from a dream, I will experience the feeling of falling into the endless abyss, but compared to the harvest of the dream world, this terrifying feeling is nothing at all.

After saying goodbye to Xu Yue, he sat in the car to the airport and made a phone call.

After a few beeps, a slightly irritable voice came from there.

"Yang Yu! You kid just run to the plateau, and turn off the phone! Don't tell your brothers if something happens, do you know how worried everyone is about you?"

The person on the other end of the phone is called Lin Sen, nicknamed Mu, and he is a good brother he met in Yanjing.

"I'm sorry ......"

Listening to these words full of concern, Yang Yu didn't know what to say, and he regretted it a little, so he could only express his apology with a word of sorry.

However, Lin Sen's words warmed his heart, there are not only those who abandon him in this world, but also brothers who have always cared about him and worried about him.

"It's useless to say these words, hurry back to Yanjing, there is an opportunity you must not miss. ”

"What chance?" Yang Yu asked with some curiosity.

"Yanjing Satellite TV is going to hold a singing talent show, my uncle can recommend the contestants to enter the primary selection, but I licked my face and asked for a place for you, if you don't come back, you will miss the time. ”

After listening to Lin Sen's words, Yang Yu's eyes lit up suddenly, he understood that the opportunity that belonged to him had come, and he must be popular this time.
