Chapter 7: Borrowing Dreams
"Knock, knock"
A faint knock struck the barrier that Yun Xi had placed around the pavilion
"Shh
Yun Xi and Yun Mu both quietly observed their surroundings, but it was pitch black, and only a faint sound approached step by step in the darkness
Yun Mu shivered unconsciously, and as the sound approached, Yun Mu felt that the coldness on his body was getting stronger and stronger
"Mu Mu, let me ask you a few questions, you answer me seriously" Yun Xi lowered his head and held Yun Mu's shoulder with his hand, although the surroundings were so dark that he couldn't see his five fingers, Yun Mu still saw Yun Xi's eyes, like a piece of beautiful jade in the dark night, which was inexplicably reassuring
"Mumu, how many bowls of rice have you eaten, is the bowl a small bowl or a large bowl?"
"A bowl of rice is a small bowl"
"How long have I been out"
"About half a stick of incense"
"Have you finished your rice?"
"Nope"
"Huh? Why can't I finish that small bowl of rice in the time of half a burnt incense? Yun Mu suddenly reacted, something was wrong there, but he really didn't notice it at the time, he just felt hungry, thinking of this Yun Mu suddenly understood, "So you made me break that bowl of rice"
Yun Xi is very satisfied with the current state of Yun Mu, "The rice that fell on the ground, have you eaten it?"
Thinking that Yun Xi might see himself picking up rice, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, "I didn't eat it, I'm sorry"
"Why do you say you're sorry?" Yun Xi was a little depressed, this kid's brain circuit, why is it not online again
"I.... You shouldn't eat food that falls on the ground... I'm sorry... I"
"Mumu!" Yun Xi shouted at him, "It's not your fault that you ate the food on the ground before!" As a person, there is always a head that has to be lowered" Yun Xi is really worried that what Yun Mu experienced will leave a shadow on him, you must know that there are some terrifying things engraved into the soul, even if you drink Meng Po soup, you will remember that many such ghosts will choose to commit suicide after being reincarnated
Hearing Yun Xi's words, Yun Mu suddenly felt as if there was something in his heart to break through the thick fog, he nodded, and put his hand on Yun Xi's hand to show that she didn't have to worry
"Xi'er, where are we trapped?" Yun Xi is really helpless about this title, who let himself say that he can call it casually, this is simply lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot, never say so in the future, Xi'er~~ah~~ It feels a little....
"This formation is called borrowing dreams," Yun Xi adjusted his state and said calmly, pretending that he was not called by Yun Mu, and his mind was moved
"Borrow a dream, borrow a prosperous dream, get drunk and die in the twilight, add an inch of land for the rest of your life, and leave others a place to stay" Yun Xi said the words of borrowing dreams
Fortunately, it was dark, and no one saw the embarrassment on Yun Xi's face, "Who wrote this spell, this is too literary!" This is a spell, it's just a singing song" Yun Xi silently complained about the spell in his heart
"Xi'er, isn't this formation a good spell?" Yun Mu silently recited it in his heart and expressed his doubts
"Huh, good spells? There is only the beauty of words, this formation was originally a means for nightmares to eat sweet dreams in order to fill their stomachs, and later it was improved by people with hearts, and it became the art of borrowing dreams.
The caster first finds a person with a good life or prey, and stays by the person's side during the day as a close person, creating misfortune and good fortune for her, and there are many disasters and short happy times.
At night, the nightmare that the prey is most afraid of will be constantly watered, and in the long run, the prey will become delirious, and finally wait until the prey is about to collapse, give the prey what it wants most, and then destroy it fiercely, so that the prey will completely collapse. The caster then induces the prey to be resentful and unwilling to commit suicide, and the first step in this dream borrowing becomes"
"This is too vicious," Yun Mu thought of his own experience, if someone repeated his experience to him every day, he might just scrap it
"It's not the most vicious, the latter is even more excessive" When Yun Xi was about to continue, he found that Yun Mu shrank to his side and looked at the thin and thin Yun Mu
Yun Mu looked up at her and said, "I'm afraid" When Yun Mu said that he was afraid, Yun Xi was a little distressed, so he picked him up, and the two of them sat on the bench under the pavilion
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you again this time, and I will also help you avenge your revenge" Yun Xi stroked Yun Mu's back, sighed and continued
"The most tragic thing about this formation is not the trapped people, but the dreamers, those dreamers have not reached the end of their lives due to suicide, and the underworld will punish the suicide to stay in the place where they committed suicide, repeating the scene of the last day of life, day after day, year after year, until it is the same as the day of death in the book of life and death, the underworld will send ghosts to bring it back."
Yunmu gasped and whispered, "Fortunately, I didn't commit suicide"
Yun Xi noticed Yun Mu's small movements, smiled and continued, "But just a ghost who committed suicide is harmless, even if they are unwilling, but only repeating their own life will not harm others, so the spellcaster also needs an introduction, they will peel off the soul of the dream maker who just committed suicide, and lock them in the place where the best memories and the most painful memories of their lives"
"Why raw peeling? Didn't the ghost come out on its own after he died? ”
Yun Xi touched Yun Mu's hair and said, "After people die, they will not think that they are dead for the first time, at this time your soul has not left the body, and there will be a marquee in your life in front of you, this is near death, after this stage, your soul will slowly detach from the body, and you will realize that you have passed away."
"Just like when you found me, I didn't realize I was dead at the time, so the caster pulled out the souls that hadn't really experienced death yet"
"Yes, the raw ones were forcibly pulled out of their bodies without experiencing a marquee, and you said they would remember that day"
"Then they will slowly not remember the events of their lives, only the day they died, well...."Yun Mu thought for a while and said, "Doesn't that mean that they don't realize that they are dead!" ”
"Smart, worthy of being my apprentice" Yun Xi buried his head in Yun Mu's hair and rubbed it as a reward, Yun Mu's hair had a familiar fragrance, but Yun Xi couldn't remember smelling it there
Yun Mu's hands were on Yun Xi's face, staring at her and suddenly saying righteously, "Xi'er, I'm not your apprentice."
"No, no, no, hey, I'll tell you the next thing, this formation is done like this, and the more happy and miserable things the dreamer experiences, the more powerful this formation becomes. The person who enters the dream will be possessed by the dreamer, repeating the dreamer's last day until the soul of the entrant is eaten by the dreamer. ”
"Xi'er, it's really a dream, the one who enters is the one who borrows the dream, borrows a dream from the past, and says a word about the future."
"Mu Mu, your sentence is good! We also want to dare to lock up the people who came in with me. Say a word about the future, give him a tooth for a tooth! Yun Xi's last sentence was very heavy, Yun Mu had no doubt that if the spell caster was caught by Yun Xi, he would be directly bruised and scattered, at this time he suddenly felt a little "distressed" about the spell caster
"Mumu, I'm going to tell you bad news" Yun Xi's tone suddenly became heavy, "You are likely to die again"
"Huh? I'm a ghost, how do I have to die to be considered dead" Yun Mu was a little speechless, and a little helpless, he felt that his luck was not ordinary, "I shouldn't be chosen?"
"Hmmm! You were chosen by the Dream Maker, it will possess you" Yun Xi lowered his head and picked his fingers a little self-reproachfully, "Blame me too, thinking that if you are a mortal in the flesh, it will be safer to walk in the world, and you don't have to worry about the yang energy being too heavy"
"That, it's okay" Yun Mu looked at Yun Xi's self-blaming appearance and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, because Yun Xi was holding him, so he couldn't see Yun Xi's expression, he could only see Yun Xi's hands interlaced.
"Just choose it, choose it, you're still there anyway, do you know how to break this formation?"
When Yun Xi heard Yun Mu say that it was okay, he suddenly raised his head, looked at Yun Mu with a smile and said, "I know, but I won't tell you first, you just need to play the role of a dream maker."
Yun Mu saw that Yun Xi's face was not apologetic at all, and it was clear that he was going to watch a good show, "fox" Yun Mu said silently in his heart, "Xi'er, then do you know what this dreamer is?" ”
"When you were in the ancestral hall, I looked around, and I already knew that this dreamer was," Yun Xi suddenly pressed into Yun Mu's ear and said in an eerie voice, "It's a bride in a red wedding dress... Sub~~~~"
Yun Mu was obviously taken aback by Yun Xi's movements, and jumped off Yun Xi's legs, hitting his head directly into Yun Xi's chin due to the violent movements
"Ahh Yun Xi was knocked down on the bench and covered his chin
"Xi'er, are you okay, I didn't mean to, the way you looked just now is really scary, not too scary" Yun Mu hurriedly stepped forward to check Yun Xi's chin
"Mu'er Mu"
Yunmu was stunned? Why did Yun Xi call his name and turn it into a fungus?
"I seem to have bitten my tongue~~" Yun Xi covered his mouth and looked at Yun Mu with miserable eyes
Yun Mu really wanted to say, he deserved it, who made you scare me all the time tonight, but I still couldn't help but think about it, in case I said it, Yun Xi didn't do it, he was a little ghost, he definitely couldn't get out, and if he couldn't get out, he couldn't take revenge, and the big husband could bend and stretch
"Xi'er, who are you replacing here?"
Yun Xi heard Yun Mu's last sentence, "Who is replaced" and glanced at Yun Mu with satisfaction, this gaze was too loving and was directly ignored by Yun Mu, "The child can be taught, I replaced a male corpse"
“????” Yun Mu didn't speak, tilting his head to express his doubts
Yun Xi continued to explain, "Look at the shroud I am wearing, and this hair"
It's not that Yun Mu didn't reflect it, but the shroud and hair that Yun Xi was wearing didn't look like a corpse at all, not a man's corpse to be exact
"So what am I going to do?"
"You don't have to do anything tonight, just rest and sleep in this pavilion, I have added an enchantment to this pavilion, and the spellcaster will not be able to solve it for a while, and you will return to the ancestral hall when the rooster crows, and the dreamer will let you stay in that ancestral hall for so long, it must be useful" Yun Xi used two benches to put the three stools together, which happened to be a small bed
"Mu Mu, I can't conjure anything other than this dream in the formation, there must be a bed in the house, but I don't think it's safe, you can just take it first, I'll give you a shroud underneath, so that you can sleep more comfortably"
After Yun Mu was scared by Yun Xi for another night, he had already guessed that Yun Xi had put a shroud on the bench, definitely not to let him sleep comfortably, he must be thinking about how to scare him, and he arranged this Yun Xi in his heart, and asked gently
"Xi'er, where do you sleep? And you're going to lie in that coffin tomorrow? Yun Mu said as he silently folded the shroud that Yun Xi put on the stool and put it on the head, and the whole person lay down and used the shroud as a pillow
"Am I crazy? You left me alone in a coffin with the ancient gods! I'll pinch a little straw man tonight and cast another spell, just put it in the corpse, and I'll follow you incognito tomorrow" Saying that, Yun Xi sat on a stone bench not far from the bench, pinching the grass in his hand and pulling the grass from somewhere
Straw man
About an hour passed, and Yun Mu really couldn't help but call, "Xi'er, I'll make it up for you."
"Ha, you haven't slept yet, hahaha, I'll go see if the barrier is stable" Yun Xi heard Yun Mu say that he wanted to help, and immediately dropped the grass in his hand, turned around and left in order to avoid embarrassment
Yun Mu lay on the bench, kept looking at Yun Xi of the grass man, and finally couldn't stand it, I really couldn't stand it, I couldn't stand it anymore, it was okay to tie a straw man for an hour, the point was that the grass was still grass for an hour, there was no human-type one, and there was a bunch of grass-type scattered bones, Yun Mu held his forehead and sighed, I really couldn't figure out who said it, God is omnipotent, isn't it that even a straw man can't be pierced!
