Chapter 41: Secrets
Since about three years ago, Yu Changan has had some very strange dreams from time to time.
The dream was so real that he thought he had entered another wonderful world in his sleep, and every time he entered this strange dream, he could remember it clearly when he woke up.
In the past three years, this strange dream has appeared dozens of times intermittently, but although he can remember everything that happened in the dream, he still can't describe the true appearance of that strange world, and he can't even completely figure out what his identity is in the dream.
This time the dream was the same, when Yu Changan "opened his eyes" in the dream, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar scenes around him, he instantly understood that he had started dreaming again.
This time there was a strong sunlight in my dream, as if the sun was about to fall. However, in the sun-drenched land, instead of a peaceful scene, it was full of terrifying-looking ghosts as before. These goblins spread out like locusts across the earth, barely in sight.
In Yu Changan's strange dreams, ghosts are never absent. Ever since he had this strange dream for the first time three years ago, he had been fighting these ghosts of unknown origin in his dreams. Sometimes it's alone, sometimes it's with your peers. To this day, he couldn't remember how many goblins he had killed in his dreams, and how many of his companions had died at the hands of goblins in the great battles.
In the dream, Yu Changan habitually looked at his companions who didn't know when they appeared, he grinned, and then rushed towards the army of ghosts on the opposite side regardless of it.
I don't know how long it took, Yu Changan suddenly screamed, then stiffened up from the chair, and after a few big breaths, he realized that he had woken up. Slowly hunching his back, he sat down in his chair and said to himself, "When is it a head?" ”
"Are you okay?" Guan Yu on the side looked at Yu Changan suspiciously, showing a rare look of concern.
"It's okay, I dreamed. Yu Changan said perfunctorily.
"It's okay. Guan Yu nodded, but when he was about to close his eyes again, he suddenly said: "Recently, I have found more opportunities to cast the Green Dragon Soul a few times, and after you are completely adapted, I will pass on your soul cultivation method." ”
"Huh?" Yu Changan, who had just woken up, was still a little flustered, and after realizing that Guan Yu was going to give him follow-up benefits, he hurriedly stood up and said, "That relationship is good, the second brother is really righteous." ”
Guan Yu didn't seem to like Yu Changan's frivolous personality very much, and waved his hand a little impatiently to signal him to shut up.
Yu Changan didn't care, he still smirked to himself. Originally, Guan Yu passed on the Green Dragon Soul to himself in order to help him awaken the life soul, but before the Green Dragon Soul could take effect, Cao Cao had already helped him become a Xuanshi. originally thought that Guan Yu would not meddle in this matter anymore, but he didn't expect the other party to remember this matter. No matter what the Soul Nourishing Method is, you have to get your hands on it first.
While he was thinking about it, Wu Zetian suddenly asked in the Xuanyin bone, "Were you cultivating during that time just now?"
"What time?" Yu Changan asked subconsciously, and after reacting, he immediately replied: "I was sleeping just now, I'm a little tired after being busy these days, and it's normal to sleep for a few hours." ”
"Just sleeping, didn't you practice any special exercises or anything like that?"
Sensing the strangeness of Wu Zetian's tone, Yu Changan straightened his posture and asked sincerely: "Yes, I just slept and didn't practice the exercises, did you find anything special about your majesty?"
"There's something special, but I really found one. Wu Zetian said slowly: "Do you know that in the few hours you slept, all the soul power in your soul disappeared, and there was no trace left, if it wasn't for Doctor Hua to be sure that there was nothing wrong with your body, I wondered if you were killed by someone using some secret technique." ”
"It wasn't until you shouted just now that those lost soul powers returned to your soul in an instant. But...... Although your soul power has not decreased, your soul has become a little weaker. Hua Tuo continued Wu Zetian's words and added on the side.
"My soul has become weak?" Yu Changan was taken aback, and hurriedly looked inward to check his life soul, but he checked and found no signs of weakness in his life soul, and couldn't help but wonder: "Nothing has changed." ”
"That's because your strength is not strong enough, and you can't feel the real change in your soul yet, if you fight someone right now, you will find that the same level of soul power consumption is not as powerful as before. Hua Tuo continued to explain.
"Ahh Yu Changan looked embarrassed, he knew Hua Tuo's attainments in the healing of life and soul very well, and he could take care of Prince Yuan's serious life and soul injuries, and his observation of his life and soul state would naturally not make any mistakes.
"Don't worry, your weak state is only temporary, and it will be completely recovered in about an hour or two. Hua Tuo said with relief.
Listening to Hua Tuo's words, Yu Changan breathed a sigh of relief, but when he thought of the changes in his life and soul, he couldn't help but make a difficulty. Obviously, when there was a problem with his own life and soul, Wu Zetian, Hua Tuo and Guan Yu must have found an abnormality, which is a good explanation of why Guan Yu would take the initiative to teach himself the method of soul cultivation just now, obviously his life and soul state is very problematic in his opinion.
Now it seems that the time when there is a problem with the soul should be the time when he fell into that strange dream, in the past three years, Wu Zetian and Hua Tuo have not appeared, so naturally no one will remind them of the change in their soul. However, it can be thought that every time I had that strange dream before, my life and soul should have the same problem, but because I was not even a Xuanshi at that time, it was naturally even more impossible to have any awareness, not to mention that it only took an hour or two to recover, even if I occasionally returned to the mansion, the second uncle and they would not notice any abnormality.
"Could it be that that strange dream can absorb your soul power?" Yu Changan pondered and meditated, but unfortunately he couldn't figure it out.
This strange dream is the biggest secret that Yu Changan has kept in the past three years, even if he is the closest fourth uncle to him, he has never talked about it, he has been trying to find the key to the dream, trying to understand why he is always troubled by this strange dream, but unfortunately, just like this time, he has been looking for a long time and has not found any useful answers.
"Have you had any adventures?" Wu Zetian suddenly asked.
"What adventure?" Yu Changan was stunned for a moment and asked suspiciously.
"It is absolutely impossible for a person's soul to have such a change for no reason, although it is only a temporary weakness, but it is difficult to say whether there will be any worse changes in the future. According to what you said, in the past, you were exposed to the exercises practiced by the Xuanshi because you couldn't awaken your soul, and you were naturally not practicing any special exercises during those hours of the night. In this case, the only possible explanation is that you have experienced some adventures that have triggered special changes in your body, which is why you are in this situation. Wu Zetian came up with a possible reasonable explanation based on his own speculation.
Hearing this, Yu Changan was stunned again, but soon he shook his head and said with a wry smile: "No, I haven't had any adventures." ”
"Then I don't know, you can only figure out how to study it slowly. After Wu Zetian finished speaking, he fell silent.
Yu Changan could feel Wu Zetian's kindness, but there were some things that he still didn't tell them the truth after all. When Wu Zetian mentioned the word adventure, Yu Changan immediately thought of the biggest special feature in himself.
His memory was incomplete, he had absolutely no recollection of what he had experienced at the age of fifteen.
When Yu Changan was just fifteen years old, he had disappeared unexpectedly, and disappeared for a whole year, according to the second and fourth uncles, the family mobilized a lot of manpower to find him during that year, but found nothing. And a year later, he inexplicably returned to the family, and his body was intact, without any injuries or hidden diseases.
Regarding this experience, Yu Changan himself was confused, he didn't remember why he disappeared, let alone what he experienced during the year of his disappearance, and he didn't even have the slightest impression of how he finally returned to his family. The memories of the whole year when I was fifteen years old disappeared strangely, as if I had disappeared in the family.
Regarding the experience of his disappearance for a year, because he couldn't find any clues that could be cracked, it was finally gone, although Yu Changan still has doubts, but it can only be doubts, he can't remember anything after all.
If there is an adventure, perhaps the experience of that year is my greatest adventure. Not to mention that Yu Changan didn't want to take the initiative to mention this matter to Wu Zetian, even if he wanted to say it now, he couldn't say why he came up with it at all, and in the end, it just ended up without a problem.
Think about it carefully, the strange dream also started after he disappeared and returned, for Yu Changan, this is a huge shadow that makes him always feel depressed, he doesn't know when this shadow will dissipate, every time he thinks about it, he can only bury all his doubts in his heart, and he doesn't want these things that can't find answers to affect his life in the future.
As before, after a short period of confusion, Yu Changan reorganized his mood, he jumped a few times in place, rubbed his face and said, "No matter, let's find a way to deal with today's battle first." ”
