Chapter Eighty-Four: Sinking into a Dream
After a period of dizziness, the three immortals came to a jungle full of purple flowers. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"See that obelisk?" Lizi pointed to a looming obelisk in the depths of the sea of flowers and said, "That is the boundary of the Dreaming Country, you should leave quickly." After speaking, he clasped his hands to his chest and recited a spell to lift the immortal power seal.
"Lizi, come with you." Lu Xiaofan took Lizi's hand.
Lizi smiled bleakly: "No, I'm going to die." ā
"No, you are saved, you only need to unite with a single Yin Envoy to live."
Lizzie smiled, "No, I don't want to be a monster anymore." After a pause, he said: "That yin envoy is demonized without the restraint of the yang envoy, and I would rather die with him." ā
Seeing that Lizi insisted on refusing to leave, Lu Xiaofan had no choice but to give up.
"Lizi, take care, I hope you find a way to survive no matter what." Lu Xiaofan looked at Lizi and said sincerely.
"Life and death are fateful." Lizi smiled bitterly, broke free from Lu Xiaofan's hand and turned away, disappearing into the flowers in an instant.
"Let's go, they're coming." The former dynasty urged.
Lu Xiaofan and the former dynasty ran towards the obelisk and entered the realm of the Dreaming Country. After continuing to fly for a while, he saw a dilapidated temple, and the two immortals flew into the temple to rest for a while.
"Do you have a plan? Where are we going? Xi Chao asked.
"Yes, let's go to the Tai Chi Holy Realm." Lu Xiaofan tried his best to remember Su Yu's map, but there was indeed no location mark on it for the Taiji Holy Realm, no wonder Su Yu said that he was looking for it.
"Okay." The former dynasty readily agreed.
"By the way, why didn't you persuade Lizzie to come with us just now?" Lu Xiaofan felt that the former dynasty was too indifferent.
Xi Chao smiled coldly: "She tried to transform me into a yin envoy. ā
"Huh?!" Lu Xiaofan was very surprised, he couldn't imagine that Lizi had done such a thing. "Isn't that going to smash you apart?"
"Yes, in that case, there will be two yin and yang envoys to survive."
She ...... Why not combine with that ready-made Yin Messenger? ā
"Lizzie is a high-level oracle, and she looks down on them."
"Well, I didn't expect that. She looks so kind. Lu Xiaofan said regretfully.
"Kindness?!" Xi Chao snorted coldly: "Her lies and hypocrisy have indeed deceived me for many years. You were taken by order of her, and I, she said she couldn't bear to kill me with her own hands, so she locked me in a dungeon and waited for death. Or when her leader loses patience and melts me. ā
"Melted?!" Lu Xiaofan's eyes widened.
"Well, throw it into their immortal refining furnace and return to the furnace to rebuild."
"How can it be!" Lu Xiaofan said indignantly: "They will be punished by God if they do this!" ā
"Perhaps, but it's a pity that the damnation has not yet arrived. So when you asked her to bring out your Heavenly Soul before, I really sweated for you. Xi Chao looked at the ruined temple wall in front of him and muttered.
"Well, I'm actually a little scared. By the way, do you know the way to the Tai Chi Holy Realm? Lu Xiaofan asked.
Xi Chao shook his head: "After I was brought up, I have been locked in the territory of the Yin and Yang Mission. I naively thought that was the whole of Yu Guangtian. Later, I slowly learned that it was just an illusion created by the Yin and Yang Mission. ā
"Oh? Dreamland? ā
"Well, there are many sects of Yuguangtian, each with its own illusion, which makes the believers think that it is the whole world, and thus get lost in it. The more believers there are, the larger the scale of the illusion and the more real it appears. Some illusions have multiple heavens, some illusions have all the layers of immortal cultivation realms, some illusions have only one god, and some have countless gods. Xi Chao leaned against the wall and said expressionlessly.
"So, Yu Guangtian is almost all illusions?" Lu Xiaofan looked at the smoky purple forest, pointed to the temple where he was hiding, and asked, "This is also the same?" The woods outside too? ā
Xi Chao nodded: "The illusion has appeared for too long, and no one remembers what the world was originally like. ā
"Then the Tai Chi Holy Realm is also an illusion?!" Lu Xiaofan muttered to himself.
"Even if it's a fantasy, it's a world. As you told Lizzie before, different worlds have different dominant forces. The Tai Chi Holy Realm is a world that belongs to the power of the heavenly immortals. Whether it's real or not, it's a kind of power. The former dynasty said slowly.
When Lu Xiaofan heard this, he was surprised to hold Xi Chao's shoulder: "Xi Chao, you are so smart!" You see, if you had allowed yourself to die, no one would have come to explain this to me today. Thank you, Xichao! ā
Looking at Lu Xiaofan's eager gaze, Xi Chao felt that his face was a little hot. "Let's go, Shen Mengguo is a neutral country, let's find a few reliable immortals to inquire."
The land of dreams is full of flowers, with a strong fragrance but drowsy. There are many tree houses in the sea of flowers, and Lu Xiaofan and the former dynasty looked outside a few houses, and found that the immortals here were all lying on their backs, falling asleep. Finally, on the road, I met a few walking immortals, wearing spacious robes and strange pillow-like hats, walking slowly on the road with slow movements and sluggish expressions.
Lu Xiaofan glanced at the former dynasty, obviously, it would be difficult to find a reliable immortal here.
Lu Xiaofan thought for a while, stepped forward, and said to a passerby: "This immortal friend, may I ask how to get to the capital of Shenmeng Kingdom?" ā
The passer-by slowly turned his head and looked at Lu Xiaofan with a confused look: "Capital...... What is a capital? A dream in a dream, a dream in a dream, can it be considered a capital? Come here, smell the flowers with me, and sink into the boundless dream together. There is everything in the dream. After speaking, he suddenly felt out Zhang Pazi and shook it in front of Lu Xiaofan, and a tent of pink powder pounced on Lu Xiaofan's face, Lu Xiaofan was caught off guard, and as soon as he took a breath, he collapsed to the ground.
Xi Chao was shocked, rushed over and dragged Lu Xiaofan and flew into the forest, but fortunately, the passer-by did not chase after him.
"Former Dynasty, let me down." Lu Xiaofan felt that his voice was also soft, and as soon as his legs hit the ground, he felt weak in his limbs.
"Lu Xiaofan, how are you? Can you still fly? Xi Chao asked anxiously.
Lu Xiaofan lifted his breath and said, "I can't fly for the time being, but I can barely walk." What's that, exactly? Is it a drug? ā
Xi Chao said: "You rest first, I'll go to their tree house to find out if there is an antidote." ā
"Okay, be careful." Lu Xiaofan untied the rope around his waist and handed it to Xi Chao: "Will it be used?" ā
"No, I'll just have that." Xi Chao patted the scimitar hanging from his waist. Lu Xiaofan suddenly remembered the Ice Wheel Battle Blade, but fortunately he stayed in the Ling Yuntian military camp, and all he lost was the two long daggers he forged.
"I'll come to you when I regain my mobility."
"No, you wait for me here, otherwise it will be troublesome to get separated." After Xi Chao finished speaking, he turned and flew towards the treehouse.
The immortals in the treehouse were sleeping soundly, unaware that anyone had broken in. The former dynasty turned the tree house upside down, and there was nothing but a few broken bowls and pots, and a few dried fruits.
"How do these immortals live?" Xi Chao shook his head and walked out of the house, but saw several large dustpans in the corridor outside the house, in which the purple flower petals planted everywhere were dried, and there was an overturned nest next to it, and there was some purple powder in it.
Xi Chao stretched out his finger and dipped it in some powder, smelled it, and a drowsy aroma came to his nose. "Could this be the drug?" The former dynasty was thinking about it, and suddenly heard someone shouting under the tree: "Dream eat, you slacker, get up and work!" ā
Xi Chao hurriedly flew to a branch and hid behind the lush branches. I saw a man in a robe standing under a tree and shouting twice, pulling up the hem of his robe and tying it around his waist, carrying a bucket, and climbing up the stairs. He went into the house, scooped a ladle of water from a bucket and threw it at the man who was sleeping in bed.
"Oh, it's raining, it's raining!" The immortal who called Dream Eat woke up, looked at the person, and said dissatisfiedly: "Dream Piercing, you villain, why do you disturb my sweet dream?" ā
"Get up and work, the dream flowers in the king's garden are dying."
"Isn't it just grinding into dream powder when it's dead?"
"You want to die! That little bit of flower is ground and powdered, at most, it is only enough to sleep for a year. Don't rub it off, or your salary will be deducted! ā
"Don't, don't, I'll go. Alas, this day was really dry enough, and it didn't rain for three years. What does God want to exterminate my Dream Clan? Dream muttered as he walked.
After they walked away, Xi Chao slipped into the house, and saw that the water that Mengjiao had splashed on Meng's face just now had been sprinkled on the ground, and he dipped it with his fingers and sniffed it, and found that it was just ordinary water. Xi Chao came out and looked around the treehouse and found a well under a plantain tree.
Xi Chao drew some water from the bucket next to the well, and flicked a few drops into his face. I don't know what kind of well water this is, it is so cold and biting, it makes people instantly sober and refreshed.
Xi Chao untied the barrel, carried it back to the woods where Lu Xiaofan was hiding, and told her what he had just seen.
Lu Xiaofan sprinkled some well water on his face, drank a few more sips, and regained his strength. I took out the empty drink bottle from the storage belt and filled some more.
Xi Chao said: "Do you remember the outline of the Shen Dream Country? ā
Lu Xiaofan recalled: "On the map of Master Su, there is only the approximate sphere of influence of Yu Guangtian. There are too many small countries, and they are not marked one by one. This Dream Country, because of its shape like a hazy sleepy eye, made me pay extra attention to it. The country was erected in a narrow and narrow way between the Yin and Yang Missions and the Feather Wind Country, and the fastest way to pass through it was to cross it directly. Of course, it is possible to detour, but it has to be a long detour. ā
Xi Chao said: "The 'king' that the two people said just now, I don't know if it's the king?" ā
Lu Xiaofan nodded: "If this is the case, follow the direction of the two of them, you can reach the capital, pass through the Shenmeng Country, and then pass through a few small city-states to be the sphere of influence of the Heavenly Immortals." ā
The two immortals sent the wooden barrel back to the well, and flew in the direction where the dream was eaten and the dream was worn away just now. The air is filled with a sweet and greasy aroma, and when you fly in the air, you feel a lot of resistance, and you fall to the ground and sink, neither high nor fast.
Along the way, except for some watering people in some flower fields, there were few pedestrians on the road, but many were lying down.
"Do the immortals here live by sleeping?" Lu Xiaofan guessed when he saw this scene.
"I think so. They dried and ground it into powder from the ubiquitous dream flower, and they fell asleep all day long on it. The guy named Dream Eats works and receives a salary, could it be that the salary is also this kind of powder? But I think he can make this powder himself, and it seems that the salary is something else. "The former dynasty said.
As he spoke, he flew to a big tree, twenty or thirty huge trees grew together, to be exact, and treehouses were built on top of each other. Beneath the trees are endless fields of dreamy flowers of different shades of color, and some immortals with robes tucked around their waists yawn and water the fields.
The former dynasty suddenly saw the dream eating, so he pointed it out to Lu Xiaofan: "Look, this is the dream eating, it seems that the king they are talking about is here." ā
Lu Xiaofan looked up at the treehouse group in front of him and said, "Then this treehouse is their palace." ā
Suddenly, the overwhelming smoke and dust shrouded down from all directions, and before Lu Xiaofan could say anything, he fell from the sky in unison with the former dynasty.
A group of guards wearing rattan armor and carrying bags of powder with rope in their hands ran over, tied the two immortals with rattans, put them in sacks and carried them to the open space under the tree houses.
When Lu Xiaofan woke up in a daze, he found that he and the former dynasty were in prison again and were locked in a rattan cage. In front of him, there was a fairy with a pale and puffy face, wearing a golden robe, a golden pillow on his head, a gold necklace around his neck, ten fingers full of gold rings, earrings, bracelets, arms and ankle rings. Looking at this luxurious dress, Bacheng is the king.
The king took a sip of the wooden cup in his hand, and shouted in a loud voice, "Who are you two?" Ling Yuntian's mortal immortals actually dared to come to my Shen Mengtian! ā
"Dreamy?" Lu Xiao fanned for a moment. Suddenly remembered that this was a fantasy world, and this king had been asleep for a long time, probably treating the Dream Kingdom as a whole day. Sure enough, I had a good dream, and I had everything in my dreams.
Seeing that the two immortals didn't make a sound, the king laughed and said, "Haha, I'm so scared that I don't dare to squeak!" Mortal immortals, don't be afraid, since you have come to my dreaming day, I will let you see this magical world, broaden your horizons, and have a long insight. After speaking, the king clapped his hands: "Come on, take them to the Dream Pool." ā
Lu Xiaofan's heart sank when he heard this, is this to dip in the pig cage? Locked in a cage, what else are you going to go to the Dream Pool.
A group of guards rushed up and carried the rattan cage to the edge of a large pit deep in the flower field, which was filled with a thick purple-red smoke and dust, which was extremely dense.
"Hehe, Fan Xian, enjoy it, it's cheap!" The guard said, pushing the rattan cage into the pit.
