Chapter 3: True Dreams
Outside the living room, there was the sound of the key opening and closing, and then the voice of the old mother Dou Yuejiao came.
"Xiao Wu, what are you going to eat tonight? I came back with some pork ribs, will I eat sweet and sour pork ribs or salt and pepper pork ribs?"
Ren Wu replied to the bedroom door: "Whatever." β
"How can it be casual! There is no such thing as casual!"
"Oh, it's all right, I'm not a picky eater. Ren Wu is looking at it at this moment, how can he be in the mood to think about what to eat at night.
Dou Yuejiao was also accustomed to her son's character, and after a moment of silence, Dou Yuejiao's voice came from outside the door, "Then eat kelp pork rib soup." β
Ren Wu was stunned for a moment, pressed down the book in his hand, and leaned back the chair: "Mom cooks sweet and sour pork ribs!"
Dou Yuejiao hung the shoulder bag on the wall with her hand, the corners of her mouth rose, and the stinky boy was still a little tender.
After making dinner, Dou Yuejiao packed the dinner in a thermos lunch box and brought it to Ren's father.
Ren Wu ate dinner, and then took out an iron sword from the back of the bedroom.
This is the iron sword that Ren Wu bought in the armory shop.
Guangming City does not prohibit cold weapons, which is also related to the environment of demons in Guangming City, there were demons in Guangming City a long time ago, at that time, the environment was chaotic, everyone was in danger, even if weapons were prohibited in the dark, every household would hide them privately, and there were often contradictions because of the private collection of weapons.
Later, Guangming City changed a mayor, and since then, Guangming City no longer prohibits people from holding weapons. Whether it is a cold weapon or a hot weapon, it only needs to be registered, and it must be a registered weapon before it can be brought into the public.
Moreover, it is forbidden to carry cold weapons in some special public places.
Ren Wu can't practice this Ah Nose Sword Record for the time being, because practicing the method requires a crucial thing: that is, energy.
However, this exercise is extremely domineering, it can absorb the ownerless qi and blood to strengthen one's own qi and blood, and even condense the blood gang.
Ren Wu couldn't find the owner's qi and blood, and he also tried to practice it with his own qi and blood, but as soon as he started the hand pose, he felt dizzy, and his head seemed to be thrown into the washing machine and rolled dozens of times, and his headache was about to explode.
So at present, I can only practice swordsmanship.
Carrying a sword to the park, it was already nine o'clock, and the popularity in the park was gradually fading.
Almost all of the people who went to the park after dinner went home one after another.
Ren Wu doesn't go to the depths of the park alone.
Demons like to appear in some dark and dirty places, such as those inaccessible dense forests in the depths of the park, of course, this probability is very small, so Ren Wu didn't go deeper, just found a remote place to practice swordsmanship,
Ren Wu once joined the Mystery Society, although the Mystery Society is just a group of hobbyists gathered together, but I have to say that the people who formed the Mystery Society are really wild, and they really got a little bit of something, detailed information about demons.
These things are rarely leaked, and there seems to be an invisible barrier between the transcendents and ordinary people.
It's two very different circles.
Demons are born between heaven and earth, but most demons are not a threat at the beginning of their birth.
Take Lust Touch, for example.
Lust Touch is a tentacle that grows out of a dark, damp environment, they don't like sunlight, and often grow a large amount of moss-like dark green material near their living area.
Lust Demon Touch will grow over time, at the beginning of this stage it is not very aggressive, only emitting a strange smell to attract all kinds of mosquitoes and small animals in the air, and then attach them to the tentacles and then devour them, and finally completely digest them, at this stage they are not even as threatening as a beast.
But when it grows to a certain length, usually two to three meters, it will have a weak aggressiveness, and at this stage it will hunt cats and dogs, and even sneak attack street children, and some daring lust magic will attack women who come home alone late at night.
Some people who are thin and have little strength, and who are very timid have little chance of winning when facing it alone at this stage.
It becomes particularly dangerous at this stage when the Lust Touch grows to a length of more than five meters, and it is able to hide its length due to its strong ability to stretch and contract.
At this stage, it will have the ability to become invisible, and will not reveal itself when it is not actively attacking, and will only appear when attacking the nightman who is alone in the middle of the night.
These are all materials obtained by the Mysterious Society, and I don't know where they found the door.
In fact, practicing swordsmanship is not as easy as imagined, after all, it is an iron sword weighing five or six catties, if you swing it for a few minutes, it is fine, but if you really want to use it for a long time, it is absolutely not good to practice for a long time to create extraordinary strength.
Then the next morning your arm would be so sore and swollen like a white radish.
It's a step-by-step process.
The place Ren Wu chose to practice his sword was in a small square a little inside the park, there was only a small amount of greenery in the square, and a yellow kudzu tree was planted in the inner part of the square.
At the junction of the plaza and the main road of the park, a row of tall plane trees is planted.
At this time, although the park is gradually becoming scarce, you can still occasionally see pedestrians passing by side by twos and threes.
After practicing for half an hour, Ren Wu felt that his arm was very sore, inserted the iron sword into the scabbard and stood on the edge of the flower bed, and sat on the bench to rest.
Sweat soaked the vest, open the thermos cup and drink two sips of warm water.
After half an hour, Ren Wu felt that he had made great progress.
There are a total of thirty-six swordsmanship styles.
I am already familiar with the first nine forms, but I am only familiar with it, and I have to continue to work hard if I want to apply it in actual combat.
The moonlight in the sky sprinkled on the ground, blending with the warm orange light of the park's street lamps.
Rustle.
The wind blew, and the leaves rubbed against each other and made a rustling sound.
A cold, evil, and extremely uncomfortable gaze stared directly at Ren Wu's back.
The cold hairs and goosebumps on the back of Ren Wu's neck all exploded.
It's that look again!
Quickly got up from the bench and lifted the iron sword.
The strip of cloth wrapped around the hilt of the sword still lingered and the feeling of being soaked in sweat.
With the long sword in hand, Ren Wu's courage increased by two points.
The face is slightly dull, the corners of the eyebrows are lowered, and the eyelids are compressed and become narrower.
Glance around vigilantly.
The empty square was deserted, and the trees in the distance were like monsters baring their teeth and claws in the night.
Lifting the thermos cup on the bench with his left hand, Ren Wu hurriedly walked towards the exit of the park.
The feeling of being watched continued until Ren Wu left the park.
The main road outside the park is much more popular than in the park, and there are cars passing by from time to time on the road.
It seems that it is not a powerful demon that is eyeing him.
Ren Wu breathed a sigh of relief.
Only weak demons are afraid of popularity.
Back home, Mom and Dad have already returned home.
Ren Quanming leaned on the sofa and watched TV, Dou Yuejiao sat on Lao Ren's right to peel oranges for him, and the peeled oranges were fed to his mouth himself.
The two old husbands and wives seem to be as sweet as if they are still in the honeymoon period.
"Why did you come back so late, didn't you say that you should try not to go out at night, and you were covered in sweat, so you should take a shower and go to sleep. Dou Yuejiao put down the orange in her hand, and began to chatter with a positive momentum.
Ren Wu nodded and returned to the bedroom.
Take a warm shower in the bedroom's separate bathroom, change into new underwear and underwear, and throw the sweaty laundry into the washing machine and press the automatic timer.
The tired Ren Wu lay down on the bed, covered the quilt and fell asleep.
There is no concept of time in dreams.
In a daze, Ren Wu seemed to see a little light in front of him.
He instinctively wanted to get closer to the light.
But no matter how hard Ren Wu tried, he couldn't get close.
Ren Wuqiang's temper came up and he tried to leap forward.
The next moment, the surrounding scenery changed greatly, and the scenery around Ren Wu changed.
It was a room as white as jade.
Ren Wu, who was obviously asleep and should not have known that he was in a dream, woke up inexplicably, as if he had broken a layer of knowledge barriers, and he ...... Is this in a dream?
The room is not big, only about twenty or thirty square meters.
The soles of the feet, the wall tiles, and the ceiling are all pure white, clearly illuminating the mirror image of Ren Wu.
It's like looking in a mirror.
"Hello. A gentle voice sounded in Ren Wu's ears.
Turning around, Ren Wu saw a mysterious man with a hazy face covered with a heavy black mist, sitting cross-legged on the futon and nodding to him with a smile.
"Are you ......" Ren Wu hesitated a little, was there anyone here just now? Was there a futon here just now?
So how did this guy come about.
Not... No, it's a dream, and it's normal for any bizarre scenes to appear in a dream.
"Okay, time is running out, I can see in your heart that you are very eager to pursue power, and I will give you a way to pursue power. β
The man waved his hand, and the surrounding scene changed.
It is a dimly lit alley, and the twilight of dusk is hidden by the tall walls on both sides of the alley, and the temperature in the alley is low.
In the middle of the alley lies a homeless man.
The homeless man had not bathed for an unknown amount of time, his hair was disheveled, his face was gray and simple, his beard was tangled and hanging down his chest, and his body was wrapped in a dirty old cotton jacket.
There was also a plastic pocket in his hand that contained a cold bun that had been bitten in.
At this moment, this homeless man was raising his head and looking at Ren Wu and the mysterious person standing beside Ren Wu in a daze.
Looking at Ren Wu's face, the homeless man suddenly shook his body, his pupils dilated, his body trembled, and he looked at Ren Wu in disbelief, and the crumbs of the bun in his mouth fell onto his beard.
The homeless man struggled to get up from the ground, hunched his back, and slowly approached Ren Wu.
Looking at Ren Wu's face, the homeless man's voice trembled.
Hand the steamed bun that was already cold in his hand to Ren Wu, "Eat, eat the bun." β
He didn't speak any of the languages that Ren Wu understood, but Ren Wu understood the meaning of the words he said.
Some of the enlightened Ren Wu habitually took the plastic bag.
The mysterious man raised his right hand, and the tramp's neck was choked by an invisible force, suspended in mid-air.
The homeless man waved his arms wildly, and his face turned purple.
"Look at him, isn't it pitiful. The mysterious man's tone was calm and cold.
β...... What do you want to say. Ren Wu frowned.
Bullying a frail and sickly homeless man for no reason made Ren Wu feel a little bad for this mysterious person.
"Do you think that the world is indifferent and unfair, why do some people are born kings, and from birth they sit on the crown and look down on the world. Some people are born as humble as grass, struggling in the quagmire from birth, maybe the end of his life is just the starting point of others, just like him, pitiful, pathetic. β
Ren Wu's eyes showed disgust. "I never believe in this thing, people will win the sky, if you believe in life, then everyone will work hard, just lie on the ground and wait for your life to fall on your head. β
"Hahahaha. The mystery man laughed wildly.
"The world is actually fair!" he paused, "Do you believe in parallel space? You are as humble as grass in this world, and you may be as noble as an emperor in another world." In this world, you are mediocre in talent, but in the other world, you are a super genius admired by everyone. For example, this homeless man, maybe in a certain world, he is the Ninety-Five Emperor who is in charge of the power of the world. The mysterious man's face was obscured by the black mist, but Ren Wu felt that he was smiling.
"In all parallel spaces, there is another you who is alive, and the sum of your luck and talent in countless worlds is a complete one. I'll teach you how to do itβthe ultimate one! Take everything from him!"
The mystery man raised his arm, and the homeless man was pinched even tighter, and the area above his neck turned purple.
The homeless man kicked his legs desperately.
"Without our involvement, there would have been a snowstorm in the city tonight and he would have froze to death in the streets, like a wild dog on the side of the road froze to death in the streets, and we just made his doomed fate a few hours earlier. β
The mysterious man waved his hand lightly, and the homeless man went into cardiac arrest.
The dead homeless man tilted his head and looked at Ren Wu blankly.
Ren Wu's heart tightened.
The fingertips of the mysterious man's other hand carefully removed a small white spot of light from the homeless man's body.
"Do you know what this is?"
"What is this?" Ren Wu had an ominous premonition.
"It's something that changes your destiny. The mysterious man flicked his fingertips, and the small white dot of light sank into Ren Wu's body.
