Volume 1 The Tao is a Dream Chapter 2 Strange Space

I don't know how long it took.

In a daze, Zhang Xuan's eyelids moved.

With a splitting headache, he opened his eyes slightly, feeling a slight glimmer of light that was extremely dazzling.

"Hissβ€”β€”!"

Zhang Xuan took a breath of cool air, held his head and slowly straightened up, and there was chaos in his head.

After a while, he finally returned to normal, only to find that his surroundings had changed.

"Strange, how did I end up here?"

"What is this place?"

"Shouldn't I be in Xuantianfang?"

This place is a gray and strange space, with vast wilderness, and in the distance is an endless void and boundless darkness.

He remembered that he had been knocked unconscious, and then he had fallen asleep and appeared here as if in a dream.

"Hey, boy, wake up for the old man!"

Suddenly, a sharp cry sounded in his ears, and a sharp pain came from Zhang Xuan's face, and when he opened his eyes again, a middle-aged man with a pale face was looking at him angrily.

It is Tang Wu, the shopkeeper of Tianxuanfang, and the owner of Zhang Xuan.

"Shopkeeper, why did you come back?"

Tang Wu's body was actually filled with a lot of dead air, his long horse face was a little pale, but with a different kind of flushing, his thin lips were dry and peeling, his hair was messy, and his eyes were full of exhaustion.

It's really good that this old thing is actually injured, Zhang Xuan is secretly happy in his heart.

Tang Wu's return was a bit sudden.

"What happened? Why are you lying on the ground? What is the blood on the ground?"

Tang Wu's cold voice sounded, and there was a cold light in his eyes, which was a little fierce.

Zhang Xuanhu looked at the blood stains on the ground suspiciously, his heart was full of doubts, he said slowly: "It's an old man, he came to redeem the pawn with a pawn ticket, the villain didn't have the key to the treasury, so he rejected him, I didn't expect that guy to break in, it's really hateful." ”

When Tang Wu heard this, his face became more and more gloomy, and he walked into the backyard without saying a word.

Zhang Xuan got up from the ground, touched his eyebrows, and looked at the dried blood on the ground, feeling a little puzzled.

"Isn't the old man dead?"

"Impossible, right?"

He clearly remembered that the old man seemed to be a dying person, but the body was not here.

"Could it be that Tang Wu put it away?"

"Or, is the old man really not dead?"

"Or, someone else has been?"

Zhang Xuan didn't know anything about what happened after he fell asleep, he just remembered that at the moment when he was unconscious, something entered his head.

"What is that?"

After Tang Wu entered the backyard, there was no movement.

In the evening, a fat man with a fat face walked into the store with a food box.

His name is Xie Dong, he is a guy from Shunyi Restaurant on the next street, he has been delivering food to Zhang Xuan since he was eight years old, and every night, Xie Dong will deliver the next day's food in advance.

The two are the same age, coupled with long-term contact, they have become good friends who talk about everything over the years, and Xie Dong is the most important way for Zhang Xuan to obtain information.

"Ah Xuan, this is tomorrow's meal. ”

When the young man handed the food box to Zhang Xuan, he found the palm print on the counter, and said in surprise: "Huh, isn't Guo Jiangming dead? How could his handprint appear here?"

After Zhang Xuan took the food box, he pointed to the palm print and asked, "How do you know this handprint?" Also, who is Guo Jiangming?"

Xie Dong was lying in front of the counter, and said with some surprise: "This guy's palm print, almost everyone in Beiyuan City knows it, I'm afraid you don't know it, the frog at the bottom of the well, if you can get out of Tianxuanfang, you can hear more bizarre stories." ”

Zhang Xuan's face was gloomy and silent, the word "frog at the bottom of the well" suited him quite well.

He is a slave, someone else's livestock, and he is not destined to have freedom, and I am afraid that he will not be able to appreciate the taste of freedom until he is old and sick, and his life is late.

Xie Dong saw that Zhang Xuan suddenly lost interest, knowing that he had uncovered other people's scars again, and hurriedly explained: "That Guo Jiangming is a strange person, with very strong strength, he especially likes to show off, when drinking in the restaurant, he always pretends to inadvertently leave a palm print, for fear that others will not know that he is a monk, and over time, Guo Jiangming's palm print has become a well-known laughing stalk." ”

Zhang Xuan couldn't help but laugh, he also felt funny, there are still people in this world who love to show off, it's really funny!

The next moment he suddenly said, "You mean... He's dead?"

Xie Dong nodded his fat head and said gloatingly: "I died in the grove in the north of the city, covered in blood, but I was not embarrassed, but I looked a little calm." ”

"Calm?"

Zhang Xuan muttered: "Doesn't it mean that people with strange personalities have arrogant hearts?

Xie Dong said in surprise: "Someone saw him drinking tea, thinking about the past in his mouth, and he seemed to be quite nostalgic for the world, but he lost his breath after laughing three times in the sky, that is a strange guy." ”

Guo Jiangming ran to the north of the city to die, which seemed to have some different meaning, which was really confusing.

At night, the moonlight is shining.

Thinking back to what happened during the day, Zhang Xuan lay on the bed tossing and turning.

Suddenly, there was a faint strange smell outside the room.

"Oh no, it's smoke. ”

Zhang Xuan secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly held his breath and pretended to sleep.

The next moment, he felt a cold aura, death.

Bang!

The door was pushed open with impunity.

"Boy, you won't wake up tonight after being poisoned by my sweat drugged. ”

Tang Wu swaggered in, bending down and groping around Zhang Xuan's body for a while, as if he was looking for something, but he didn't get anything.

He then searched the house again, and finally left with a frown.

Half an hour later, Zhang Xuan opened his eyes.

"What the hell are you looking for, damn old fellow?"

Tang Wu could have searched his body openly, but he didn't, which means that he didn't want Zhang Xuan to know about it, even a little bit.

"Could it be that he is looking for what Guo Jiangming gave me?"

Zhang Xuan lay on the bed, thinking about the space during the day.

That intimate realism brought him an unprecedented enjoyment, and when he was in that space, he had the illusion that he could change the whole world.

"I'd love to visit that place again!"

Zhang Xuangang had such an idea, only to feel a dizziness in his head, and between the stars and stars, he appeared again in the unfamiliar void space, but his ears were filled with rumbling thunder.

"This ocean... There are purple thunderclouds everywhere!"

Crash!

A purple thunder exploded suddenly, and a dazzling purple light swept beside him, and the sound of thunderstorms continued to sound in the void, and this place suddenly turned into a terrifying thunder sea.
