Chapter 19: Trapped

Yu Qing immediately became alert, it seemed that she was still careless, she only thought that there was something strange in the dormitory building, but she didn't take into account that the nightmare might stop her from arranging the formation, it was a terrifying creature with self-awareness, and their conversation in the dormitory must have been heard by the nightmare without a word!

Yu Qing was very remorseful in her heart, hating herself for not thinking of this at all, and it was very likely that she would not be able to get out if she was trapped here now.

No one knows how strong Nightmare's strength is, and Yuqing is not sure that she will be able to escape from Nightmare's control. I don't even know what it looks like, I just deduce what it looks like from legends.

At present, there is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, and Yu Qing has no certainty of fighting with it. All she could think of at the moment was to do everything she could to get out of here.

She pulled her legs and ran forward quickly, the half-human-tall grass seriously affected her speed, and it made her panting for a few minutes, and she couldn't run, but the nightmare never appeared, Yuqing felt that the pressure did not decrease, she could feel that the other party was hiding nearby.

Yuqing looked around, looking for a possible hiding place for the nightmare, it was eerily quiet, the air was frozen, only the hot breath from her mouth stirred up the air in front of her, and Yuqing could even see the movement of the air mass.

She was very scared in her heart, this feeling had never been felt before, and in the face of such a powerful opponent, Yu Qing felt helpless.

She has experienced many strange things since she was a child, and she will not feel afraid even when she sees the dead. As long as it's not a ghost, Yuqing can walk past it safely.

Although her eyes could see things that mortals could not, Master did not want her to use this special ability to earn a living. Many people who are born with open eyes are regarded as good materials for cultivation, and Yuqing belongs to this type, but since the day the master brought her back, he has been silent about her yin and yang eyes, and there is no excitement at all when other Taoist priests discover the treasure.

If many fellow practitioners find a baby born with open eyes, they will undoubtedly find a treasure, and as long as they are carefully taught after being accepted as an apprentice, they will definitely soar among their peers in a few years and become a monk who has not been encountered in a hundred years.

And Yu Qing's master was very disgusted with her cultivation, since she was a child, she just taught her to strengthen her body and embroider her legs, like those very powerful Taoist techniques were not allowed to be touched, and other disciples did not allow Yu Qing to watch from the sidelines when they practiced, but locked her in the room to read and write.

Yu Qing pestered her senior brother at night to teach herself a few tricks, and secretly learned some things, coupled with her extraordinary talent, she learned very quickly, and the charms that others took a few days to learn, she could use them skillfully after listening to them twice, and the effect was amazing.

In this way, after a few years, every day under the teaching of his senior brother, Yu Qing learned many Taoist techniques that his senior brothers in the sect had mastered, and all of this was done without the master's knowledge. I thought it would pass smoothly like this, but I didn't expect to be bumped into by the master by chance in the end.

As a result, Yuqing lived in Siguo Cave in the back mountain for two years, and the master bought her a full set of high school textbooks, and since then Yuqing has lived a life of pain and happiness as a high school student.

There are also many ancient books handed down from ancient times in the cave, and Yuqing relies on them to pass the time. Faced with the headache of functions and equations in high school textbooks, as well as esoteric physical chemistry, she prefers to read these ancient books that ordinary people can't understand. There were a lot of anecdotes in it, strange things she had never heard of before, and some unheard of Taoist techniques.

It was from here that Yuqing saw the record of nightmares.

She once saw a description of nightmares in a dusty scroll of thread-bound ancient books, in which it was said to be formless and insubstantial, capable of traveling through different time and space, feeding on people's dreams, and using dreams as a force to control humans. There is also a hand-drawn drawing on the yellowed paper, and the brush simply outlines the appearance of a nightmare, which can be drawn vividly with a few brushstrokes.

Yuqing, who saw the nightmare picture for the first time, was also deeply shocked by its image. The lower body of nothingness, the almost transparent upper body, twisted the form from time to time, and its face could not be seen clearly.

There is no mention of how to deal with nightmares in ancient books, and it seems that the author of this book was also afraid of nightmares that are beyond the norm. However, as mentioned in the book, nightmares generally do not take human life easily, because its food is mainly derived from human dreams.

Yu Qing couldn't understand why the nightmare would attack the two weak women Xia Yun and Wang Xiaomeng, if she wanted to absorb the yin qi in their bodies, she could find the cemetery or yin spring with the most yin qi, the yin qi in these places was countless times that of mortals, and there was no need to use the method of mutilating human beings to obtain yin qi in a way that violated the way of heaven. Moreover, the absorption of yang or yin energy by gods and ghosts in the human body is inherently intolerable by the Heavenly Dao, and once it is perceived by the Heavenly Dao, it will immediately be punished.

She felt that perhaps she was simply a mortal mind, and that in the eyes of the gods and ghosts, humans were just weak creatures, and that the arbitrary mutilation of humans was just their amusement.

What kind of rules are there between heaven and earth, Yuqing is also difficult to say, since ancient times, few people can explain clearly, there are very few literature and classics on this aspect, because these are all acts of leaking heavenly secrets, and the slightest carelessness will be wiped out by the way of heaven.

Yu Qing turned back as she ran, her thoughts shuttling back and forth between the past and the present several times, but it didn't affect her actions at all. When she was very young, she found that she was able to keep her mind in different places, she could think about several things at the same time, and this special ability also benefited her a lot, especially in learning high school textbooks, Yuqing, who has this ability, has a magical ability to never forget, she only needs to read any text once to write it out word for word, and mathematics, physics and chemistry are also a piece of cake. In the end, she took the college entrance examination that year at the request of her master, and achieved quite amazing results without any effort.

That night, Master called her to the courtyard and spoke to her in a serious manner, and then Yuqing made a decision that she was going to leave for the city where Shishan University is located.

As for what the master told her, Yu Qing has always buried the content of the conversation in the deepest part of her heart, she came to Shishan University to shoulder a very important matter, which is related to the lives and safety of dozens of people, and must not be revealed to anyone.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Yu Qing's physical strength was very exertional, her lips were already cracked, the sweat on her face was dry and dry, and her face was covered with a layer of salt frost.

She held her hands on the body that was about to fall to the ground, panting, her eyes glancing around from time to time, the nightmare still hadn't appeared, but Yuqing could feel it hovering nearby.

After running for nearly an hour and not getting out of the woods, Yuqing finally understood what happened to Xia Yun and Wang Xiaomeng last night. This is the place controlled by the nightmare, and with Yuqing's current strength, it is impossible to escape through her own ability no matter what.

Her mind was spinning rapidly, and Xia Yun mentioned the kitten that had taken them out of the nightmare space, which was a very important piece of information, but now the kitten would definitely not rush to save her.

Yuqing didn't feel hopeless, she could feel that the nightmare was playing a game of hide and seek with her. If you want to harm her, I'm afraid you will do it early, so that you don't have to show up until now.

Because, Nightmare has been watching her nearby.

Yu Qing wasn't sure what kind of conspiracy Nightmare had, and the only thing she could do in the face of such a powerful opponent was to hold on a little longer.
