Chapter 70: A Dream That Seems Real and Illusory
Li Qian stared at the shadow puppet on the table, and the dye on the shadow puppet gradually blurred, turning into a mosaic glass-like color block. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The info color patches gradually rotated in reverse and blended together, changing from a vivid red-orange-yellow-green to a ghostly blue-black.
The blue-black horizon gives people a sense of gray and oppressive heaviness. The ground was a deep blue cracked earth, and the sky was rolled with blue-black clouds, and the sun and moon could not be seen. The mountains in the distance are undulating, and one after another strange peaks rise from the ground, like the sharp teeth of a giant beast in the wilderness, and like the ribs of an ancient giant, towering between heaven and earth. Surrounded by these peaks is a spherical barrier suspended in mid-air, and the surface of the barrier flows with red material. Looking closely, in the middle of the barrier, a pavilion building with a height of more than ten floors loomed.
Suddenly, Li Gan heard something behind him. He looked back alarmedly, but saw nothing. Just when he thought he had misheard, he turned around when a female ghost in tattered clothes and a disheveled hair suddenly pounced on him, and the long pointed nails on her hands cut directly into his eyes!
Li Gan woke up with a loud scream. He gasped for breath, and as soon as he pressed down the beating heart in his chest, he heard a "snap" from the desk opposite the bed.
Li Qian fixed his eyes and saw that the shadow puppet on the table had fallen.
"Haha, was you taken aback?"
The black boy suddenly popped up and stood on the bed with his small breasts.
"Well, it's much better than domestic horror films." Li Gan teased.
"That's right, my scary skills are still very powerful." Black Box took small steps on the bed, "This is a must to be a ghost." ”
"Do you have to go to class as a ghost?" Li Gan asked, "Isn't it a ghost to stay in the Yang Realm for a little more time when you die?" ”
"It's not a joke~" Black Box said in a tsundere voice, "It takes many conditions to become a ghost, and it's not something you can become if you want to be." ”
"Oh......" Li Gan listened very seriously, and the image of the female ghost just now was still replaying in his mind.
"You pay attention to me~!" Black Boy couldn't help but hit him with his big head, "Concentrate~!" ”
This collision actually scared Li Gan, which made the black boy feel very surprised.
"What's wrong with you, big slut?" Black Boy looked at his face closer, "Why is your face so bad?" ”
"I just had a nightmare." Li Gan said to it.
"What nightmare?" Black Box is curious.
"I dreamed of a hideous female ghost, and I scared my brother to death." Li Qian's heart palpitated.
"Female ghosts? Isn't it a spring dream? Black Jay grinned.
"What kind of spring dream?! I'm serious with you! Li Gan slammed his fist into his head.
The punch didn't make much effort at all, but the black boy fell on the bed with an "ouch".
"Why are you using so much force, big slut~!" Black Boy's tears are about to fall, "It hurts~!" ”
"Huh?!" Li Qian looked at his fist. "I don't need much strength, I'm afraid you'll hurt."
"Hmph, you're going to bully me anyway!" Black Jay angrily pulled at the sheets with his four little paws, "Get out of bed for me!" ”
"Oh, don't make a fuss!" Li Gan and Heizai engaged in a tug-of-war with the sheets, "Can you afford to pay for it?!" ”
"I don't care!" Black Jay dragged the sheets down the foot of the bed hard, "I want revenge!" ”
"Can you take revenge on me?" Li Gan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't play with my sheets." ”
"Hmph, I won't play with you anymore!" Black Boy angrily returned to the phone package.
"You little thing, are you still losing your temper?"
Li Gan said to his mobile phone and began to make up his bed. The sheet was pulled down by the black boy at the foot of the bed, and he pulled it up from the head of the bed, intending to cover the soft mattress underneath. He picked up the pillow and put it on the chair in front of the desk, and turned back to spread out the thick mattress, only to find a yellow object between the mattress and the mattress.
He pulled the object out of the mezzanine and found that it was a talisman drawn of cinnabar. The handwriting of the runes was strong, very similar to the runes he had seen at his second uncle's house. It's just that this talisman seems to have been used for a long time, and the cinnabar ink on it has faded.
Li Gan looked at the place where the rune was placed, just under his pillow.
What's going on? Li Qian was a little confused, why is there a talisman under my pillow? And it has been used for many years?
Many questions surfaced in his mind for a while, and Li Gan wanted to know what was going on, so he walked out of his bedroom with a charm. It's noon now, and my mother is preparing lunch in the kitchen.
"Mom? Mother! ”
Li Gan shouted twice before his mother turned around.
"What's wrong, Xiao Qian?" Mother asked him.
"How can I have a talisman under my pillow?" Li Qian showed her the faded charm.
At the sight of the spell, my mother's face changed dramatically.
"This, I can't say, you go and ask your dad."
"Oh."
Li Gan knew that she had something difficult to say, so he went to the study to find her father. He knocked on the door.
"Dad? Can I get in? ”
After waiting for a long time, my father's voice came.
"Come in."
Li Gan pushed the door and went in, straight to the point. "Dad, how can I have this thing under my pillow?"
His father turned around and saw Li Gan holding a faded cinnabar talisman in his hand.
"Oh, that's it." Li Gan's father's expression was very calm, "This was put by me and your mother when you were a child." ”
"When I was a kid?" Li Gan's eyes widened, "How old is it?" ”
"About seven years old." "At that time, you had nightmares every day, and you couldn't see any number of doctors. As he spoke, he put his left hand on his glasses. In the end, I begged your second uncle to find a solution. ”
When he raised his hand, Li Qian noticed that there was a band-aid on his index finger.
"Dad, why did your hand break?"
Li Qian approached him as he spoke, and saw a plate of cinnabar ink on his desk, and a freshly drawn talisman on his desk.
"What is this?!"
Li Gan went over and picked up the charm, which was exactly the same as the one in his hand.
"Dad, is this a talisman ...... Did you draw it? Li Qian said in disbelief.
"Hmm." Li Gan's father would not lie, and a smile of "can't hide it" appeared on his face.
Li Qian picked up the plate of cinnabar ink again and sniffed it, there was a hint of blood in it.
"Dad, you wouldn't have drawn your own blood on it, would you?" Li Qian asked.
"yes." Father laughed.
"Why are you doing this?!" Li Gan's eyes widened and he asked.
"Only the blood of the people closest to you who are full of yang energy can save you, so I ......"
"Help me?!" Li Gan put down the cinnabar ink and grabbed his father's shoulder, "What's wrong with me, Dad?!" ”
"This rune is meant to suppress your nightmares." My father said, "If you don't suppress it, you will die in sleeplessness and fear, and your mother and I can't bear it, so we use this method." ”
"Is it that serious?" Li Gan couldn't believe it.
"Well, pretty serious." His father didn't seem to be joking at all, "Look, haven't you dreamed a day in all these years?" Or do you not remember what was in your dream? Every time you dream and remember it clearly, you forget it when you wake up? ”
Li Qian thought about it for a while, and it was indeed the case.
"That's the power of a spell." Father said.
"And what have I dreamed about before that scared me so much?" Li Qian asked. "Is it a female ghost?"
"Do you remember?" Father's expression became serious.
"No, it's not what I remember, it's what I just dreamed." Li Qian said, "I dreamed that I was in an eerie and terrifying place that I had never been to before, and I felt that there should be no place in the world. Then I heard a voice and looked back to see that there was nothing. When I looked back, I saw the female ghost. ”
"That's right." Father nodded, "Go and put this new talisman I drew under your pillow, and you'll be fine at night." ”
"Isn't this nightmare cure?" Li Gan asked, "It's not a problem to always be like this." ”
"It can be cured, but it's ......"
Father's words paused for a moment.
“…… It's better not to have that kind of unrealistic idea. ”
"yes, I see."
Li Gan took the talisman and was about to leave, but stopped again.
"By the way, Dad, do you know the female ghost in my dream?" He asked.
"I don't know." Father said.
"I haven't even described the appearance of that female ghost to you, how do you know if you don't know it?" Li Qian was puzzled.
"You told me about it when you were younger." Father said indifferently.
"Oh......"
After listening to his father's explanation, Li Gan still didn't leave. He hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind to ask the question that had been backlogged in his heart.
"Dad......"
"Huh?" His father looked at him with both eyes behind the lenses.
"Am I your own son to my mother?" Li Qian asked.
"Why do you ask this question?" Li Gan's father's eyes widened.
"I didn't ...... It's just that since I was a child, some relatives said that I didn't look like either of you, and my personality was very different, so I was a little skeptical......"
"You're not our child, whose child are you? Don't listen to their nonsense. "My father was absolutely skilled.
"Oh, that's fine."
Li Gan took the charm drawn by his father and left the study.
Staring at the door until he was sure that his son had returned to his room, Li Gan's father breathed a sigh of relief.
“…… Hey, I almost got exposed. ”
He took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes wearily.
"I'll have to find a chance to tell him, it's almost impossible to hide......"
After returning to his room, Li Gan took the brand-new charm and sat on the bed and looked at it for a long time.
In fact, he didn't believe his father's words, but he didn't want him to worry about himself anymore, so he pretended to believe it.
It's tiring. Li Qian sighed in his heart.
And he knows that liars are more tired.
On the one hand, we should try our best to make the lie true, and on the other hand, we should feel guilty for the person who has been deceived.
When will they have a showdown with me? Li Qian thought to himself. Father must know who his biological parents are, and how to draw this charm, it must have been taught to him by the second uncle, right? If that's the case, the second uncle should also know something. When he has the opportunity, he must ask his second uncle about his biological father and mother.
