Chapter 1: Adventures
The city is always so noisy, but it also reflects the life of the city, on the streets where people come and go, everyone's back can tell a story, and run for life.
On one side of the city, there is a low-rise building that is out of step with the whole city, which is what people see as a slum.
In one of the smallest, most dilapidated houses in the slums, a boy was sleeping on a large, tattered bed.
"Whew, I'm scared to death." I saw the boy tumble out of bed with a bang, and then kept patting his chest and talking nonsense.
His name is Xi Tianling, and he is an orphan who was picked up by his grandmother when he was three years old and raised him, but when he was sixteen, his only grandmother also died of a serious illness.
Since then, he has been relying on relief funds and regular part-time jobs to survive while studying.
"! This nightmare really scared me to death. Xi Tianling recalled the dream he had last night, and his body shivered unconsciously.
He still remembers that at that time, he seemed to be involuntarily shuttling through one scene after another, and it was all so real, the Resident Evil scene was like a light experience, those zombies were bloody in front of him, and there were some scenes like mythology, people flying in the sky, and all kinds of beasts, showing a fantasy atmosphere in the sky.
There are many, many scenes, such as technology, magic, fantasy, martial arts, almost everything, even some scenes from comics and movies.
Xi Tianling shuttled through these scenes, each of them as if he was there, and Xi Tianling was so scared that he was still sweating profusely.
"Gollum." An abrupt voice sounded, and Xi Tianling touched his flat belly.
"Alright, alright, I'll go see what else I can eat." Patting his protesting stomach, Xi Tianling got up from the bed and prepared to go to the kitchen in the small space to see if there was anything to eat.
When I came to the kitchen, no, it shouldn't be called a kitchen, it was just a small space, there was a pot and a few broken bowls in it, and a pot rack made of mud, and there were a lot of dry materials in the already small space.
When I walked into the kitchen and opened the pot with the lid on, there were still some porridge that was estimated to be only half a bowl of clear soup and little water.
That's right, it's clear soup and little water, in this small half bowl of porridge, the amount of rice can be counted clearly with your eyes, if someone outside sees such porridge, it is estimated that it will be poured out directly.
But Xi Tianling didn't have any such thoughts, when he saw that there was still a small half bowl of porridge, he showed a surprised expression, and then he didn't plan to heat it up, so he directly picked up the broken bowl next to him and served all the remaining porridge.
After a small half bowl of porridge, Xi Tianling's stomach finally stabilized, washed the bowl, and then drank two sips of cold water before returning to the bed.
Looking at the sky outside the window, the weather was sunny, and Xi Tianling was going to go out to work.
Because Xi Tianling's academic performance is very good, and his teacher also knows his situation, he originally planned to donate to him, but Xi Tianling refused, so he can not go to class on Saturday, but his grades must be guaranteed not to decline.
Today is Saturday, Xi Tianling remembered that today was the day of payroll, and he could finally add food, he was very happy, he tidied up the quilt on the bed and planned to go out, but when he was sorting out the quilt, a book slipped out of the quilt.
Xi Tianling took the book in his hand, and when he saw the name on the book, Xi Tianling was so frightened that he threw it out directly.
It turned out that in the dream last night, at the end, an old man appeared in front of Xi Tianling, and the old man gave him a book, which is now in Xi Tianling's hand, and told him that he could drip blood after waking up, but Xi Tianling always felt that the dream was just a strange nightmare, and he didn't dig into it after waking up, but he didn't expect this book to appear in his quilt.
"Dream Codex?" Xi Tianling read it out according to the traditional Chinese characters on it.
He now remembered the old man's words, dripping blood, should blood be dripping on this book?
Xi Tianling ran directly to the kitchen with the book, picked up a kitchen knife that was a little rusty, hesitated, made a light cut on his finger, and then dripped blood on the book.
When the blood dripped on the Dream Codex, the Codex suddenly faded from its simple appearance, flashing with a dazzling golden light, and then rushed into Xi Tianling's Heavenly Spirit Cover.
Xi Tianling was also taken aback by the sudden change, but after finding that he seemed to be completely fine, he was much more relieved.
However, just when Xi Tianling was sucking his fingers to reassure, a picture seemed to suddenly appear in his mind, and he saw that the old man from last night appeared in Xi Tianling's mind again.
"Apprentice, you've finally activated the Codex." After the old man saw Xi Tianling, who was at a loss, he said kindly.
"Who are you?" Seeing the old man's kind expression, Xi Tianling's nervous mood calmed down a lot, and then asked the old man a gentle question.
"The spirit body left for the teacher has a limited time, so to make a long story short, the teacher is the supreme of the spirit universe, controlling the spirit universe, also known as the spirit world, this time I found you because you are the only one in all the universes who has the same physique, so I accept you as an apprentice, I left you a place to practice, this codex is the key to unlock, as long as you can sleep in the future, you can go to various worlds from the dream, whether it is illusory or real, my time is running out, the rest can only be understood by yourself." When the old man finished his last sentence, his body slowly dissipated in Xi Tianling's mind like foam.
After the old man dissipated, Xi Tianling also regained consciousness.
"Spirit Universe? Supreme? Could this be the legendary adventure, great? Xi Tianling remembered that he had heard his classmates tell him about the adventures of the protagonist in the novel, and he jumped directly on his broken bed excitedly.
"Dreaming? I guess it's sleeping! Xi Tianling remembered the old man's words just now.
Then I lay directly on the bed and prepared to try to fall asleep, how to get into the scene.
However, maybe Xi Tianling's mood was too excited, tossing and turning in bed, but he just couldn't sleep.
However, as time passed, Xi Tianling thought that after getting the adventure, his life would definitely be improved in the future, and he would definitely be more exciting in the future.
