Prologue: Dreams

Next Chapter

The night sky seemed to be alive, like a flowing black medium.

Countless stars twinkled on it, like waves on the river, dotted with the long black river, twinkling and flashing, as if breathing life, constantly undulating and surging.

Unusual in this infinite curtain is scattered colorful brilliance, like silk strings staggered and transformed, these brilliance is full of spirituality, skillfully gathered together, and then spread, rise and precipitate, rotate and stabilize.

In the middle of the sky, you can see that the light gradually forms a dynamic picture. Under a cloudy sky, there is an endless vast field, an old man with a lupine scarf and white temples, looking at the north from afar, with teary eyes, his eyes are full of unwillingness, the corners of his mouth move slightly, and then he closed his eyes, and the white feather fan in his hand fell to the ground...... On another starry sky, it can be vaguely seen that it is a surging river, a biao-shaped general dressed in pure black armor, with a helmet of the god of war on his head, holding two guns, and under his crotch is a black war horse that is also wrapped in heavy armor patches with only two eyes...... On a starry sky in the distance, a general dressed in black and red armor and a red cloak sat in the tent of the Chinese army camp thoughtfully, his eyes were full of resentment, on the case in front of him, there were golden imperial tokens, and suddenly he raised his tiger arm with anger and hammered on the case, and the gold medals on the table jumped up and scattered on the ground, and the red-robed general sighed...... In the direction of the starry sky a little to the right as far as his eye could see, a young man in red armor pulled out the long sword at his waist, examined the long sword he had drawn, he tried to put the sword back, and pulled it out again, this series of movements, he was always expressionless, as if he was deciding something.

The vision gradually became clearer, and this peculiar sky was like a huge picture scroll, on which countless pictures flickered, some only stayed for a few seconds, and some continued as if they were unfinished movies. Countless colorful rays of light condensed and dispersed in the air, intertwined with each other, superimposed on each other, forming vivid figures, battlefields, palaces, rivers, these things are sometimes clear and sometimes blurred, not only isolated pictures, but also related to some surrounding pictures, as if each picture has countless stories hidden.

Suddenly, a strange black area appeared in the quiet night sky, and some of the surrounding light began to be disordered, and then the surrounding pictures could not be condensed, and it disappeared after a few moments, and after a while, an indescribable light came out of the black area, and the whole sky began to rotate and distort, and all the stars lost their original positions, and also rotated with the sky, faster and faster, more and more urgent, and the sky gradually became broken and blurred. I saw another burst of white light, as if the heavens and the earth were about to be destroyed. And these fragments vaguely formed a human face with hollow facial features, and the mouth was slightly open, as if to say something.

At this time, Liu Xiu opened his eyes.

It was a strange dream.

What's even stranger is that I, aren't I already dead?
