Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Dream Tapir

After resting for a while, Lan Qi took them and continued on their way.

He opened the map and followed the prompts all the way, it was a smart map. Shouldn't it be too much to have a hint, right?

After a while, the system stopped. Lan Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It's finally stopped, and my ears are about to become calloused." ”

I often tilted my head to look at him, and I always felt that there was something wrong with him. He talks to himself when he's fine, and he doesn't know who he's talking to. You said it was a ghost, but I didn't see it!

Half an hour later, I arrived at the temple. Originally, the temple was supposed to have Buddha light, but this one didn't. And it seems to be very quiet, and the outer walls are covered with vines.

The house number also seems to be a little dilapidated, as a temple, this is too shabby, right?

After he walked into the temple, Chang Youhe and Gong Yuling were waiting for him outside.

Lan Qi walked into the temple and found the ground covered in leaves. It doesn't look like a human being, but there are two sticks of incense burning in the incense burner in the courtyard.

Why are there only two sticks of incense? Moreover, there is nothing else but these two.

Just when he was confused, suddenly a little monk wearing monk's robe walked out.

He yawned and looked like he hadn't woken up, he looked at Lan Qi and said impatiently, "What is the matter with the donor?" No one has been to this temple for a long time. ”

After hearing the words of the little monk, he told him his intention.

This little monk seems to be only seven or eight years old, but his expression is the same as that of an adult. It should be influenced by other monks, and ordinary people don't care, so they are lazy: "Donor, please come here." ”

Then, the little monk led the way. It's noon, and the monks of this temple haven't woken up yet.

When he followed the little monk all the way to the place where the incense money was offered, a group of monks either fell to the ground or dozed off with a broom.

Lan Qi looked confused, why are these people like this? He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is this ...... What's wrong with them? How do you feel sleepy? ”

The little monk yawned, turned his head to look at him and said, "Ha ~ Our mountain here is called 'Changmian Mountain'." Staying here for a few days, that's pretty much the case. Donors don't have to care~~"

Even if the mountain is called 'Eternal Sleep Mountain', then it won't be like this for people, right? This is too abnormal, but let's get the yellow charm first.

This time, he took a hundred directly. This should be enough for a month or two of your own use, if you encounter fewer monsters and the like. It should last half a year, right?

Just as he was about to leave with his things, he suddenly saw something in the corner of the temple that seemed to be looking at him. But the distance is relatively far, and it is not very clear to see, think carefully. This is a place of Buddhism, so it shouldn't be anything suspicious.

So I didn't really care about it and left.

He walked to the door of the temple and saw Chang Youhe and Gong Yuling waiting for him, so he said, "Let's go!" ”

Gong Yuling somehow is the same as those monks. are all dozing off non-stop, and they are weak to speak: "Hmm~"

And often yawn, but not as badly as they are.

Why are you okay?

If memory serves, when you look at the location of the temple, there should be a town around it. Let's go find an inn and take a break!

On the map, the town is just a mile away at the foot of the mountain.

He didn't say a word, and Gong Yuling, who was groggy on his back, walked over there.

After walking for about seven or eight minutes, I finally arrived.

Once in town, Lan Qi was dumbfounded. What about the townspeople?

On this street, you can only see a few homeless people dozing on the side of the road.

Chang yawned again and looked at Lan Qi and said, "Master, it's so strange here!" I've been yawning and having weirdness. Hah~~"

Of course he knew there were oddities, but in the current situation. I don't have a place to start looking for the source, so I'll ask the crane immortals later.

After looking for a long time, I found an open inn. Finally there was a place to live, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw a group of people lying on the table dozing off and eating.

This operation is really!

The boss in front of the counter was also lying on his stomach, and his eyelids were fighting. He felt like he was sleepy, and it made him feel like the only normal person here.

After bringing the two of them to the room, Lan Qi took out the bronze mirror that the Crane Immortal had given him earlier.

Suddenly, the face of the crane immortal appeared on the mirror: "Crane immortal! ”

"Huh? It turned out to be you, why did you suddenly remember to look for me? What's the matter? In the mirror, he was drinking tea leisurely.

Lan Qi glanced at him, now is not the time to drink tea leisurely: "Don't drink, let's talk to you about business." I'm in this place called 'Sleeping Mountain', and everyone here is dozing off one by one. ”

When the crane immortal heard it, he didn't think so: "Changmian Mountain, as the name suggests. Don't worry, normal. ”

"What's normal, Chang who was with me began to doze off again. Don't you think it's weird? Tell me everything you know, quick! "Normal? You actually said it was normal, it's not normal no matter how you look at it.

Changmian Mountain has been like this for more than ten years. All of a sudden, it was like this, and no one knew what was going on. Because most of the people who came here to find out the truth fell asleep halfway.

According to some people who came out of the mountain of eternal sleep, there is a monster hidden in this mountain. Dreams that are designed to make people sleep in dreams and then eat people.

It is said that someone has seen it in a dream, and it is in the form of an anteater. With human hands and feet, looking for dreams everywhere.

A youkai who specializes in eating dreams? Why does this sound so familiar?

Isn't this the 'Moqi' in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas"? Also called a dream-eating tapir, it looks a bit like an anteater.

But isn't that just a legend? What kind of luck did you have to meet it?

According to my own understanding, this seems to be a mythical beast, right? It is worshiped as a sacred beast by the island country and prays for good luck.

But how do you want to find this?

Lan Qi was already thinking about it, and wanted to see if he could use the enchantment to protect them and make them wake up.

He then took out a yellow talisman he had just brought and set up an enchantment in the inn.

After a while, Gong Yuling and Chang, who were drowsy, woke up again.

She looked around and asked, "What's going on?" ”

It seems to be useful, if there is really Moqi who is doing it, then will it come to me to trouble me by cutting it off for food?

When he saw that she was awake, he asked, "How are you feeling?" Did you dream anything when you fell asleep just now? ”

Gong Yuling frowned and thought about it carefully, and then said everything she remembered to the end: "Eh...... I vaguely remember just now, it seems that someone is telling me to go to the queue or something. Then I saw a group of people lined up in front of me, and there was a youkai at the front who was eating them one by one. ”

That should be what he guessed just now, and then he hung up the call with the crane immortal.

"System, can you find the trace of that 'Dream Eater Tapir'?"

[I can't find it, I don't want to find it.] 】

Heck, is this system trying to turn the world upside down? Wouldn't you be happy to talk to me like this and ask you to do me a favor?

Every time something goes wrong with the system, it's like a different person.

Now it's back to the way it was at the beginning, and it has a bad mouth!

It seems that you have to figure it out on your own, which is really troublesome. I'm not a smart person, so what should I do?

But then, he suddenly thought of a solution. That is, like them, they enter the dream to find its place.

But what if you can't wake up?

By the way, didn't the crane immortal say that it was hiding in the mountains?

Changmian Mountain, it doesn't seem unreasonable.

Go to the mountains at night to see, there are many monsters at night. It should be relatively easy to find, and ghosts rarely appear in people's field of vision in broad daylight.

So I just waited, but fortunately, now everyone in this inn has come to their senses. And they kept talking, "Have you dreamed of it?" ”

"Of course, that's a Dream Eater! I didn't expect it to be right here with us, and I kept wondering why I was so sleepy. Now when I close my eyes, my mind is full of what I have eaten! ”

"Who's to say it's not, just now I was in a daze and saw a man living in this store with his family. And then we came to our senses! ”

As soon as they said Lan Qi and them, they came down. Gong Yuling on the side looked at him with a shy look, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Who is with her family?" These people have long eyes and butts? ”

Although he will have to wait until the evening to find the Dream Eater, Lan Qi is now ready to wake everyone in the town first. In this way, it will definitely take the initiative to come to the door and ask for trouble.

He let Chang and the two stay here, and he walked out by himself. Because he knows he won't be like them, though he doesn't know why.

But it's useless to yourself, is this also because of your own blood?

Isn't that invincible?

It's called immune control, right?

There are only forty or fifty families in this town. I just took a hundred yellow talismans, and I used half of them directly. I spent a tael of silver to get this, which is distressing.

A whole one or two!

A few hundred soft sister coins were exchanged for a hundred yellow talismans. Have you been cheated?

Anyway, no one was watching the temple, so I knew I should have taken more.

I don't believe that there is any Buddha or something, if there is one, why not let people come down to get rid of demons?

Cut~

It took an hour to put the fifty families with yellow charms. I really didn't expect these people to live so scattered. Although there are only 50 families, it has a population of more than 200 people.

At this time, in a cave. A pair of red eyes slowly opened, and the voice said like a child, "Who cut off my food?" ”

This is exactly what I said before about the 'Dream Eater Tapir', and this Dream Eater Tapir has no ability to fight. So try to hide yourself from the unexpected to avoid accidents.
