At the last moment, Li Lu finally regained the sovereignty of his dream, and at the same time, he also remembered the secret that he wanted to know after endless pursuit.

This secret also comes from a dream of Li Lu.

It was an inconspicuous dream, and Li Lu only had it once.

It was on the day before the fifteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar many years ago, that is, the day before the Midyear Festival, when the ghost gate was opened, and the spirits who were about to cross the Nai He Bridge and drink the Meng Po soup were allowed to return to the world to see those who were reluctant to give up and the things they were reluctant to give up for the last time.

And Li Lu's grandfather chose another way to meet Li Lu. That's it—a dream.

For some reason, Li Lu did not meet his grandfather.

It was not uncommon for the ancients to dream about things, but they all needed a certain way or a certain amount of spiritual power to do it. And now, the Hades also prohibits such a thing as dreaming, and once it is discovered, it must be taken to the Punishment Division of the Three Halls of the Hades for disposal. The reason is very simple, at present, Hades cannot supervise everything that happens in the dream, once a spirit leaks a secret of Hades through the dream, no one can bear the serious consequences.

In that dream, Li Lu was standing in the fence outside the community, he couldn't see anything clearly, and the black pressure around him covered his vision.

There seemed to be a street lamp in the distance, emitting a faint light, even if not very bright, but in this extremely dark environment, it was conspicuous enough. Suddenly, Li Lu felt that there was a person standing behind him, he turned around, but that person suddenly came behind him, and Li Lu couldn't see the front of that person anyway.

The complete darkness depressed Li Lu, and the people behind him made him tremble.

"Your grandfather wants to see you."

The person behind Li Lu suddenly spoke.

Li Lu was a little confused, turned his head, and the man appeared behind him again.

"To go or not?" The man then asked.

Li Lu was at a loss, but before he could answer, the man shouted impatiently.

"Grinding to death! Ask you for a fart! ”

Immediately afterwards, Li Lu felt that he had been kicked hard, and like a leather ball, he flew in the direction of the street lamp, and then rolled to the ground.

Li Lu stood up, rubbed his buttocks, and found that there was more than one street lamp, but seemed to be pointing him in the direction along a road. At this time, it was dark all around, and Li Lu had nowhere to go, so he could only follow these lights.

As we walked, the sky gradually brightened, and the darkness around me became bright yellow and warm. There was an intersection ahead, Li Lu squinted his eyes, tried to look, and saw that it was an old man with an old man.

The old man was a little fat, wearing a blue-gray coat, and his belly was bulging out. He has a Chinese face, black hair, and a slight beard. At this time, the old man was holding his hands behind his back and looking at Li Lu with a smile.

Li Lu cautiously walked to the old man's side, and the old man laughed, "You're here?" ”

Li Lu didn't speak, and looked at the old man with a cautious expression.

"Let's go, I'll take you around." The old man turned around and walked forward slowly, and Li Lu had no choice but to follow.

After a few steps, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed. There are some antique neighborhoods and alleys, and the low buildings on both sides are in the style of ancient Chinese architecture, but the people on both sides who walk with their heads bowed or stand still are wearing modern clothes. Everyone was silent, and there was silence in the streets.

Li Lu looked at them, and always felt a little less angry, these people seemed to be different from himself.

At this time, Li Lu looked at the old man again, and found that the old man and those people were the same, as if they were missing something.

"This road is called Street of No Return."

The old man stopped abruptly and said slowly to Li Lu, he pointed to a wooden sign in front of him, on which were written "No Return Street" three large characters with green light, in addition, under these three big characters, there was also a small, non-luminous "pick" word. Li Lu didn't understand what this meant, and he had never seen a street with such a strange name.

"On this road, there is no turning back, and there is no going back." The old man patted Li Lu on the shoulder and continued to walk forward.

Li Lu was very puzzled, he wanted to know why he couldn't turn back, but the old man was very fast, and he didn't have the meaning to explain, so Li Lu had to follow.

Walking further, Li Lu saw a huge tower, this tower is a simple blue-gray, the tower body is very high, the height is exaggerated, Li Lu can't even see where the top of the tower is, only feels that it is extending infinitely upward. There is no shadow of this tower, it just stands there alone, forever rushing upward.

"This is the Yellow Springs Tower."

The old man slowly stood beside Li Lu, with his hands behind his back, looking at the tower, which was not at the top, with a deep taste, and sighed softly.

Li Lu had never seen these strange buildings, he stood in place, looking around in surprise, only to suddenly find that these things were not seen in his ordinary life. Many scenes have gone far beyond his common sense of life and the laws of nature that he knows.

"Let's keep walking."

The old man took Li Lu around and around, and finally walked to a porch.

The old man paused, "This corridor is called the Gallery of Relics, and when everyone walks by, they will look up and see what they have lost and missed. ”

"Can only you see it?" Li Lu asked.

The old man nodded.

Li Lu couldn't wait to walk in, raised his head, and wanted to see what pictures would appear above his head. What he didn't expect was that it was blank, hollow, colorless, and lineless.

Li Lu was stunned, he looked at the old man, and asked suspiciously, "Why can't I see anything?" ”

The old man was also stunned, and then laughed, "Haha, I forgot about this stubble, you are not the same as us." ”

Li Lu heard it in a fog, and before he could react, the old man suddenly looked at Li Lu seriously, "I brought you here for a serious matter." ”

"What's the matter?" Li Lu was a little nervous when he saw the old man's serious expression.

"I'm going to tell you a secret." The old man's tone became more serious, "Not only do I want to tell you, but I also want you to see it with your own eyes." ”

"What's the secret?"

"If you go up the river and you'll get to its source, you'll know when the time comes."

Li Lu opened his mouth and looked at the old man blankly, the old man walked straight forward, passed through the corridor, Li Lu followed, and followed the old man to a river.

The old man stopped talking, just walked with his head down, his steps were getting faster and faster, and Li Lu even felt that he couldn't keep up.

The two of them walked up against the river, Li Lu didn't understand why, but he couldn't help but trust the old man in front of him, and at the same time, in addition to following him, Li Lu didn't know where to go. Until he stopped out of breath and bent over to rest.....

"I said, "We'..... Let's take a break and then walk..... I'm too tired! ”

Li Lu said, raised his head, and found that the old man had disappeared.

What should I do?!

Li Lu looked forward and saw that the source of the river was on a high mountain in the distance.

Thinking of what the old man said before, Li Lu patted his head, extremely distressed.

Forget it, let's go up.....
