Chapter Eighty-Five: Into the Demon Realm
Lu Xiaofan had a lot of dreams. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info there are real, unrealistic, familiar, unfamiliar, beautiful, and terrifying...... In my dreams, I experienced all kinds of different lives, immortals, ghosts, and animals, and even became mountains, rivers, wood, stones, pots and pans, life after life, life after life. All kinds of dreams one after another, and I can't stop at all. Fortunately, in the last dream, on a high mountain covered with ice and snow, a girl in white threw herself into a pool on the top of the mountain, the water was extremely cold, cold to the bone marrow, and all the dreams ended. I woke up in a daze, and for a moment I couldn't remember who I was.
Lu Xiaofan soaked in the water for a long time before he realized who his surname was and what happened, it turned out that he had just woken up from a dream. Look at the former dynasty next to him, still trembling, it is estimated that it is a similar situation.
The two immortals were still locked in a rattan cage, and the thick purple-red smoke and dust in the pit had dissipated, and now it was filled with waist-deep water. The wind was blowing coolly, and the fine droplets of water slapped on the face, and when I looked up, I saw that the sky was covered with dark clouds, and it turned out that there had been a heavy rain, and there were still scattered raindrops.
"If it weren't for this rain, would we have slept to death?" Xi Chao said with palpitations.
"Possibly. It's so uncomfortable to be immersed in endless dreams and can't help yourself. Lu Xiaofan said.
"Why is it so quiet?" Xi Chao listened to the surroundings, and there was no movement at all. Only the rustle of the wind and drizzle on the flowers.
"Probably because these lazy immortals in Shen Mengguo didn't need to water when they saw that it was raining, so they went back to sleep." Lu Xiaofan guessed.
"Eighty percent yes, then let's go quickly." The former dynasty was eager to leave here immediately.
Lu Xiaofan took out the scimitar in his arm and cut the rattan cage hard. But this rattan is so tough for some reason, and after cutting it for a long time, it only leaves a shallow cut.
At this time, I suddenly heard a commotion not far away. Lu Xiaofan hurriedly put away the knife, and looked at the place where the sound came from with the cage with the former chao.
I saw a group of guards wearing rattan armor walking through the flowers with a golden thing, and when I got closer, the golden thing was the king of the dream country sitting on the slide. Today he was dressed more grandly and extravagantly than before.
When the king reached the edge of the puddle, he rolled down from the slide bar with a grunt, knelt in front of Lu Xiaofan and Xi Chao and shouted, "O noble passing god! Please accept my worship! Thank you for bringing this rain! After speaking, let the guards quickly carry the passing god up.
A group of guards carried Lu Xiaofan and the former dynasty to a wooden plank with a cage, and the king said, "Please pass by the gods to accept the worship and incense of the people in the palace." ”
Lu Xiaofan and the former dynasty were carried wet to a newly erected high platform under the palace. A pit was dug under the platform, and firewood was piled up in it.
"Are you going to roast the two of us?" Lu Xiaofan couldn't laugh or cry.
At this time, the king stood on the platform in front of the highest treehouse, holding a trumpet made of banana leaves, and shouted: "Subjects, these two are the passing gods who brought us heavy rain, let us express our gratitude to them with the most devout worship and the most abundant incense!" ”
A minister-like immortal lit the firewood in the pit. The citizens of the Dream Nation rushed over, bowed their heads, and threw a large handful of dry Dream Flowers into the fire after worshipping. The fire was blazing, the smoke was billowing out, Lu Xiaofan and Xi Chao were choked and coughed, and they couldn't open their eyes at all. Crazy and agitated drums sounded around, and the passionate Shenmeng people splashed water on each other, cheering loudly, singing and dancing, completely drowning out the coughing sound of Lu Xiaofan and the former dynasty.
Finally waited for the smoke to dissipate, Lu Xiaofan and the clothes of the former dynasty were dried, and the people were also dying of the smoke. At this moment, an old man in a golden robe, whose beard was taller than his height, climbed onto the platform in front of the tallest treehouse. He held a banana horn in his left hand, held a wooden staff in his right hand, and said loudly and tremblingly: "I, Shen Mengtian Control Dream Gollum, hereby solemnly announce: The king's dream control magic skill has been cultivated!" “
The immortals in front of the palace erupted in thunderous cheers.
Dream Control Gollum raised the wooden staff to make everyone quiet, and continued: "Our noble king, who worries about the country and the people, dreamed of rain two years ago, just three days ago, the heavy rain really rained for three days and three nights! The king reversed the dream and took control of it. The king's piety touched the passing gods. Our great king, let the people of the Dreamy Heaven pay you the most heartfelt respect! ”
The immortals knelt on the ground again, shouting: "The king is mighty! Long live the King! ”
The king stood beside Shen Menggolu with great ambition, and today he also deliberately wore a golden cloak, and when the wind blew, the cloak fluttered in the wind, which looked very heroic.
The king raised his hands and said, "People, you don't have to worship me. I believe that in time, every subject will be able to control their dreams and turn things around, just as I did. Today, let's celebrate! ”
After the king finished speaking, the overwhelming powder covered the earth like a sandstorm, and the subjects cheered to meet the purple-red dust.
Lu Xiaofan and the former dynasty saw that the situation was not good, so they hurriedly poured a bottle of well water on their heads, and finally survived to sleep under this round of terrifying dream powder. The entire palace area fell asleep in an instant, piling up mountains and seas, snoring and shaking the sky.
Lu Xiaofan saw that there was a string of keys on the king's waist, so he carried the cage with the former dynasty, flew to the king with difficulty, and then carried the cage close to the king, took off the key to open the cage, and finally got out of trouble.
The two immortals didn't dare to stay for a long time, so they quickly chose a random direction and flew away in a hurry.
After flying for most of the day, the sea of purple flowers below finally left sight, replaced by a vast Gobi.
"Look, there's a city down there." The former dynasty pointed to a patchwork of buildings below.
The two immortals flew down vigilantly, only to see that the palace pavilions were lined up, heavily colored and ornamented, and the architectural style was exaggerated and luxurious. However, in the huge city, there was not a single immortal in sight, and it seemed to be an empty city. But the strange thing is that all the houses and streets are unusually clean, as if they are often cleaned, and the interior furnishings are not dilapidated, and even the daily necessities and shops and quilts look new.
"Where have the immortals gone? Which country is this? "Lu Xiaofan and the former dynasty flew to a place similar to the imperial city in the center of the city, and the gorgeous palace was also empty of immortal smoke, but all the furniture and facilities were readily available. The empty dragon chair seems to be waiting for the monarch to return to his throne.
"Is this an abandoned city?" No matter how you look at it in the past, this place doesn't look like a deserted city.
"Not really." Lu Xiaofan also felt the same way.
"Let's go, get out of this strange place. I don't know what happened, but it's not something we can control. The former dynasty said to Lu Xiaofan.
"Well, when we find the Tai Chi Holy Realm, we'll know what all this is about." Lu Xiaofan said.
The two immortals flew towards the vast Gobi again, and they kept flying in one direction, and they could always fly out, right? According to the calculation of the time and distance of the previous flight, at least the direction is far away from the Yin and Yang Mission.
Fly from noon to evening, and from night to dawn. After flying for three days in a row, this Gobi seems to be endless.
"Stop and rest, I don't know how long I have to fly, the most important thing is to conserve your strength." Lu Xiaofan said helplessly.
The two immortals stopped on the Gobi and found a stone to sit down. Lu Xiaofan took out the snacks and fruits he bought at the Yuanxiangshan Market from his storage belt, and ate some of them, not knowing how long he would fly, he didn't dare to eat and drink.
Xi Chao nibbled on the fruit and sighed: "I knew that I would have found some more food and drink in that deserted city, and if I searched carefully, I might even find a map." ”
"Maybe, the deserted city is better than the boundless Gobi." Lu Xiaofan said: "We left too hastily. Blame me, in a hurry to leave. ”
As he spoke, something faintly appeared in the horizon.
"What's that? Another city? ”
"Like, let's go, go and have a look."
The two immortals lifted their spirits and flew towards the city on the edge of the sky. After flying for about two or three hours, it finally approached, and sure enough, it was a city. But why is this city so familiar?
"This ...... It's like the city before. "The former dynasty was a little confused.
"Yes, it's too similar, you see, even the angle at which we flew in was the same as just now." Lu Xiaofan recalled the previous situation.
"It's strange, why don't you go down and have a look?"
"Okay, but be careful." Lu Xiaofan said, took out the scimitar and held it in his hand.
After searching around the city, Lu Xiaofan found that this was indeed the city he had passed before. Even on the bookcase in front of the dragon chair in the palace hall, the few inconspicuous ink blots lined up in a row were exactly the same. However, apart from this, there is still no trace of other immortals.
"We mortals call this phenomenon 'ghosts hitting walls.'" Lu Xiaofan said.
"Well, I've heard of that too." Xi Chao said: "The power to create this kind of wall is to harm people, and the other is to protect people. “
"I don't know what kind of power we're encountering." Lu Xiaofan said.
"If you care about it, the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it." In the past, he escaped death and gradually became brave.
The sky was getting dark, and the two immortals waited in the air vigilantly until it was completely night.
Xi Chao couldn't hold it anymore, and said with a tired face: "I don't feel threatened in the city, why don't I rest here tonight and continue to look for a map tomorrow?" ”
Lu Xiaofan saw that Xi Chao's face was not good, he had been locked up in the dungeon of the Yin and Yang Mission for too long, and after coming out, he had been running around for days, and he really needed to take a break.
Erxian found an attic with a higher location, a mountain behind him, a small scale, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and said that he would take turns to rest.
Lu Xiaofan first asked Xi Chao to go to sleep, and he carried a scimitar to keep vigil outside.
The city was pitch black, and there were only a few scattered dim starlights in the sky, only Lu Xiaofan and the small building in the past lit up a little faint light.
"It would be nice if there were some lights in this city." Lu Xiaofan imagined the grand occasion of the glory of the city, with thousands of lights, and even the streets and alleys were full of lanterns.
Just when Lu Xiaofan was fantasizing, starting from the center of the city, the lights gradually turned on, and soon the whole city was brightly lit.
Seeing this situation, Lu Xiaofan suddenly felt strange and quickly woke up the former dynasty, and the former dynasty was also startled when he saw the lights all over the city. The two immortals held scimitars in their hands and went to the city again, but there was nothing else except the lights of Yan Shan.
"Could it be that this city knows our minds?" Lu Xiaofan wants to originate in Xiangshan.
"Just try it." Xi Chao said: "I'm so good that I want a big bed." ”
As soon as Xi Chao finished speaking, a carved bed covered with a brocade quilt appeared beside the two immortals.
The two immortals' eyes widened in disbelief, this is on the street!
Xi Chao touched the soft quilt, lay down on the bed and rolled twice, and said, "It's really a bed." ”
"I'll try it too." Lu Xiaofan said: "I want to shake the recliner." ”
Before the words fell, a purple bamboo rocking recliner appeared next to Lu Xiaofan.
Lu Xiaofan sat up and shook it a few times and said, "Do you know the past dynasty?" When I was a child, I was in the mortal world, and I liked to sit on such a bamboo rocking chair and watch the stars on summer nights. ”
As he spoke, starry light appeared on the dark sky, and colorful stars filled the sky.
Lu Xiaofan pointed to the starry sky and said to Xi Chao: "Look at the sky!" Even the stars are out! ”
Xi Chao lazily opened his eyes, looked at the starry sky, yawned and said, "I don't think there will be anything wrong tonight, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, there will be nothing to do all the time." At most, they will be trapped in this city for a while. Everyone is tired, go to sleep, wake up and figure out a way. ”
"However, since this city is so good, why are the immortals in the city gone?" Lu Xiaofan still couldn't figure it out.
"Don't think too much, maybe some immortal people think that the city is crowded, so they say, I want a big city with only me, so this is the origin of this city." The former dynasty was almost asleep.
Lu Xiaofan smiled: "Maybe." In the past, you even told jokes. Turning his head, he saw that the former dynasty had fallen asleep.
