"In the Netherworld, the spirit silk is gathered into spiritual energy, and it is reincarnated as a human in the meat cage realm, and it evolves into a spirit jade in the meat cage world, and is brought into the dream wilderness by the apostles who came from the dream wilderness, and if the evolution fails, it will die of old age and disperse into the spirit silk and then enter the netherworld. This is probably the circular ecology of the closed Three Realms. Xiao Hei continued to explain to Qingtong.

"So the rat beast is coming as an apostle to take away the awakened person who has evolved the spirit jade?" Qingtong asked.

"Yes. There are many talented people who die inexplicably in their sleep, or the monks of the monastery sit down for this reason. Xiao Hei said.

Qingtong nodded in agreement. But he suddenly raised his hand: "So...... Why did the rat beast attack me? He kept asking me to offer my Jue, but I hadn't reached the state of awakening. “

Xiao Hei snorted: "The huge number of lifeforms in the Meat Cage Realm is the Spirit Jade Farm of the Dream Desolation, so the Dream Desolation Realm also has strict rules for the apostles.

The apostle has two missions: one is to extradite people, that is, to extract the awakened spirit from the mortal womb of the flesh and bring it into the dream desolate realm, and the other is to eliminate the creatures that grow in reverse, that is, the body jade absorbs the spirit jade, and the core of life is Jue, so as to maintain the peace of the meat cage world. ”

Qingtong didn't interrupt, just quickly wrote down the reverse growth in his notebook, and then circled it and put a big question mark.

"Every time an apostle comes to the meat cage world, there is an unwritten rule that he will pick one or two life cores that are about to evolve into spirit jade and keep them private, and quickly strengthen his spirit jade by devouring and absorbing it. The apostles did not have the right to take away the immature life core, but they had the obligation to erase the life core that was growing backwards and the right to take away Jue. ”

"The performance is expressly forbidden but secretly exploits the loophole of the second mission, the unawakened life core and Jue are wrapped in body jade, the core content is different but at first glance it seems to be the same, so in order to distinguish it from the spiritual jade of the spiritual cultivators, it is collectively called Jue. This is even an invisible benefit for the apostles, as long as they are not greedy and maintain a long-term ecology, the above will turn a blind eye to this. ”

"So they call the life core of some spiritual power that is about to break the body Jue, and it is also to find an excuse for favoritism. Qingtong muttered and concluded.

Xiao Hei said that the head is the Tao, and Qingtong also understands that this dream desolate world also seems to have the same human accidents and desires as the meat cage world, and I think it is very interesting.

In other words, the fox obeyed the lion's command and ran to the chicken coop to take away a chicken, and by the way, he found himself some more [eggs] to eat and comfort himself. Qingtong sneered, and then let out a sigh: "It's okay, it's okay, it's fate." ”

Xiao Hei was also amused by this rough but vivid metaphor, although the young man in front of him had not yet understood what he was about to face, but in this regard, he had an unusually receptive ability and ability to resist pressure. If his father disappeared ten years ago, then it is likely that it was because of his awakening and was taken away by that group of guys. So this kid can be regarded as inheriting his father's qualifications?

"Then what will happen if you break through the body jade and evolve into a spirit jade?" smiled and smiled, but it couldn't stop Qingtong from becoming more and more curious.

Xiao Hei continued: "If you break through, you will have the ability to control the movement, composition, and decomposition of items in the meat cage world with your spirit, and become a [spirit cultivator], and even a more powerful spirit cultivator can change the rules of the meat cage world." With that, she looked at a cup on the table, and with a slight frown, the cup turned to powder.

Qingtong's mouth opened wide in surprise, and he touched the cup of powder, which was already as fine as grit. "What did you do?" he couldn't help but ask, the simple demonstration clearly beyond his comprehension.

"Decompose. Xiao Hei jumped off the sofa again and paced a few steps: "Among the human beings, there are people who are similar to those who control water and fire, and they are called gods in ancient times. Including the current superpowers, their otherworldly magical abilities are actually just some superficial tricks after awakening to become spiritual cultivators. You have not had time to be led by the apostles, and you have superpowers in this world that are reasonably within the limits of the dream famine, but beyond your knowledge. ”

Qingtong waved his hand and pointed to another cup very seriously. He was angry, his eyebrows were gathered, and he shouted: "Broken!" The breeze blew, and the cup was really safe and sound, and nothing happened.

"Didn't you say, you're still far away. Xiao Hei's eyes were disdainful, but he wanted to laugh.

"Last question, I didn't kill that rat beast, so did you save me?" Qingtong suddenly remembered something, and told him so much about Xiao Hei's true identity.

Xiao Hei turned his back and didn't talk immediately, the floor clock in the living room suddenly rang, and at twelve o'clock, the conversation had been going on all morning.

After the bell rang, Xiao Hei said quietly: "Do you think that when the fox is dead, the lion of the Dream Desolation Realm will give up?"

This sentence dodged Qingtong's question and gave him a wake-up call, the sun shone on the puppet body of the root not far away, and he gasped and looked back at the black cat standing in the shadows with glowing eyes.

"For some reason, I can't help you again. Xiao Hei's tone was solemn and not like a joke, and then he continued: "The time flow rate of the Dream Desolation Realm is about one-tenth of the time flow rate of the Meat Cage Realm. For a maximum of ten days, if you fail to meet certain requirements, the bell just now is the death knell that rings for you in advance. ”

Qingtong felt like an ant that wanted to survive the ocean, fragile, small, and unaware. There was another high-dimensional world beyond the sky, like a whirlpool in the sea, wrapped around his field of vision. And he hasn't found the leaves to cross the sea, father ...... Is it really in that world?

——————————————————————————————————————————————

Real world, loft on the edge of the city.

The moon glowed gently, and a young girl sat peacefully in the dark, looking at a painting full of trees in the moonlight.

She seemed to have suddenly had some strange abilities since one night. She is able to take out the things of her dreams and manifest them in the real world. She flipped through books and surfed the Internet, trying to find the cause, but couldn't find any clues.

She can still remember that magnificent dream.

She found a large and solemn door by feeling in an oil painting called the Sleeping Forest, and after she found the key and opened the door, she began to have a very strange feeling, her thoughts became clearer day by day, but her five senses in her body were slowly lost. At this moment, she still couldn't figure out what was going on with the superpower of the dream object that manifested herself, and she could only think about death very calmly.

She seemed to be getting tired, and days had passed since that dream. She felt like she was going to sleep again, becoming more and more out of place with the world and more dependent on dreams, and she didn't know if she would wake up every time she fell asleep.

She wandered in a dream, and the scenery in this dream was beautiful, like a fairyland, a mysterious forest of barren people, and in the center of the forest was the water of another lake.

She can easily walk in the lake, because it is her own dream, so there are not so many restrictions, many things can be realized by feeling and thinking, such as flying, such as walking on water, such as diving into the water and even breathing freely......

"It would be nice if I could bring my mother here to see it. She muttered. At this time, a maple leaf swirled and flew down, creating ripples on the surface of the water, and she could see it very clearly.

Since the last time she fell asleep, her degraded five senses seemed to have returned to this dream body tenfold and hundredfold. In the dream, her five senses are sensitive to exaggerated, the rhythm of water, the relaxation of leaves, the absorption of roots, and even ...... She could feel all the natural heartbeats.

The leaves slowly sank into the lake, and she could clearly feel the life that was about to pass away from the branches.

"I can only die alone here...... There seems to be no other way? She thought.

Her father was a painter but died early, perhaps for this reason, she was withdrawn since she was a child, rarely in contact with people, and her mother worked hard to pull her up, almost except for sleeping and eating, all the time at work. She didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble to her mother, and she didn't even dare to tell her mother about this strange illness she had born for no reason.

"Do you have to leave your mother behind and die alone like this?" she thought of her mother, and she cried unwillingly, tears sliding down her warm cheeks and making a crisp sound on the lake.

Suddenly, there was a sound of "sizzling" in the trees in the distance, and the sound grew from weak to strong, from far to near, although extremely light, but it became clearer and clearer.

She was astonished, in her dream, except for herself and the slight wind, and the faint ripples, there had never been any other great movement, and even the last time she saw a door with a faint throbbing and huge breath, she was surprised and kind.

"It's been getting weirder lately. She thought as she followed the sound of the trees.

A dark shadow burst out of the bushes, and she saw a young man running towards her faster than anyone she had ever seen.

The boy had a small number of vines attached to his feet, and the grain of the wood emitted a slight green glow, which had changed the shape of the boy's feet. Foot ...... at this time Structurally, it is more like the structure of an antelope's hoof.

And ...... These feet are alive. "She saw it and felt it more really.

"Hey~" The boy shouted from afar, he didn't stop running, as if he was being chased by something about the same speed, and he didn't dare to let go in the slightest.

As the boy ran closer, she faintly saw something black churning under the boy's feet, like an infinitely stretched shadow.

The boy put his hands on his chest, and seemed to be a little out of breath, and said in his mouth: "Note, note, note, note!" This series of strange actions surprised her extremely much, and suddenly the boy's hand slammed, and there was really an extra note out of thin air!

What was going on? She escalated from surprise to shock, and what she thought was completely under her control was such a strange and incomprehensible thing that jumped out of the dream.

The boy quickly ran up to her, shoved the note into her hand as he passed, and at the same moment, a black shadow on the ground also hit her quickly, but it bypassed her, and she felt a slight cold with a strange suction force flash away.

Then the boy quickly turned in the other direction. The black shadow stretched and shrank like the waves.

"Mission accomplished!" the boy shouted with the last of his strength, then jumped into the air with a relaxed expression.

The boy didn't jump very high in the air, but he was wrapped and swallowed by the shadow of the black shadow that caught up, squirmed a few times and swallowed it, as if he had completed a task, and quickly retracted from the direction he had just come from, and disappeared.

She thought back to the boy's calm expression, as if he knew more about the source of these strange things than she did.

She opened the note, and there was a line written on it: Yo! friend.

She woke up, as excited as if she had discovered a new continent, she held a piece of paper in her hand, the one from her dream, and the crooked line of words made her eyes brighter and brighter.

There is hope, there is hope! Maybe, I still have a way to live!

The sky is already bright, and the word friend is like the light of dawn, driving away the darkness and bringing hope and new life.
