Chapter 19: The Journey
With some uneasiness, Ye Ziye and Yun Midu embarked on a journey to the south.
They are going to the mountains of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, which takes about six hours by high-speed train from Xinhai to there.
On the way, Yun Midu was afraid that Ye Ziye would be bored, so he told him about all kinds of demons and monsters he had encountered before.
In fact, due to different regions and beliefs around the world, many strange creatures have been derived.
Some of them still depend on humans for their existence, such as a demon called Nightmare, which lives in human dreams and feeds on human dreams.
Many people have dreamed, but when they wake up, they can't remember what they dreamed about.
That's because everything in the dream was eaten by the nightmare.
For this reason, a profession has also been derived, called dream sellers. Dream dealers specialize in buying human dreams, but the process of buying dreams is like a game and very obscure.
They will appear to you like a friend and ask if you are dreaming today? Is the dream a good dream or a nightmare?
Once you answer him, whether it's a good dream or a bad dream, he has to buy it.
When you're done with your dreams, they want to fulfill one of your subconscious desires in exchange for buying your dreams.
People who are bought to dream will not dream for a while, which is not a good thing for the modern person who is overly stressed.
As for what to do with the bought dream, this Yun Midu didn't say, but if it was unprofitable, there would be no such profession.
There is also a thing that lives on humans called demons, and this kind of thing likes to follow emotional people, and the more people who can't control their emotions, the more they will be entangled by it.
In life, we often see some people who lose their temper because of a very small thing, and maybe that thing is so small that most people will completely ignore it.
They are angry, irritable, and even fighting, but they are actually controlled by demons.
Because only those people who are constantly emotional and irrational can the devil feed on it and continue to live in a parasitic way.
When Yun Midu said this, he suddenly glanced at Ye Ziye, who was listening to the story carefully, which made him nervous suddenly.
"Why are you looking at me like that? I... Entangled? β
Yun Midu smiled and continued: "No, you are well protected, don't worry!" β
Yun Midu's words made Ye Ziye can't help but think of grandma, such a little old lady seems to contain a lot of energy.
In fact, about demons, Ye Ziye had heard his grandmother talk about it before, but what his grandmother was talking about was a demon.
The explanation of the demons is much more scientific, she said that the demons are just the psychological problems of those who can't control their emotions and feel powerless to complain about reality.
If a person fails to face up to his own shortcomings, blindly finds fault with others when problems occur, and thus blames all the blame and mistakes on others, then this person will become complaining and irritable.
To put it bluntly, it means that the self-awareness is too poor and will not introspect, and if you cause trouble to others, you will feel that it is someone else's problem. Such a person is not so much haunted by demons as he is not self-aware.
The two chatted for a while and then woke up, and it looked at the window and stretched.
"How long will it take? I was dizzy from sitting on this worm-like thing. β
"You still have a headache when you sleep rabbit!"
Ye Ziye said casually, and was slapped on the face by a paw of the hot pot.
One person and one rabbit were about to make trouble again, Yun Midu said helplessly: "It's almost there, let's go to the hotel where we stay to rest after we arrive at the station." β
Ye Ziye glanced at him and didn't bother with the hot pot anymore.
"Where the hell are we going this time? And what should I do with the hundred-year-old ghost that no water says? β
Ye Ziye looked at the scenery speeding by outside the window, and couldn't help but feel worried.
"The address given by no water is deep in the mountains, where there is an ancient tribe. It is said that the entire tribe is cursed, and no one can leave there, and if they leave the range of the tribe, they will die without a corpse. β
Ye Ziye twitched the corners of his mouth with a complicated expression, didn't he say a ghost? How did it become a curse?
"There is a totem enshrined in the ancestral hall of the tribe, what we have to do is to unlock the secret of the totem and find the ghost who said that no water said."
"And then you will influence this terrible ghost? How can a guy who can curse an entire tribe and die a bad death be reformed?!
It's already a miracle not to get killed, right? β
Ye Ziye said lovelessly, and couldn't help but think in his heart.
What is this a business trip? It's a thousand miles to death!
"In fact, this problem is not difficult to solve, and the hundred-year-old ghost is just a resentment and obsession and refuses to enter the netherworld.
It's not a problem to control it or even destroy it, it's rare how to influence it. β
Yun Midu seemed to be guiding Ye Ziye, calming down his uneasy heart.
Ye Ziye thought for a while, and said suspiciously: "I can't understand it this way, the powerful ghosts that have existed for a hundred years have been cursing this tribe, but they are worshiped by the tribe as gods, and they must have a mutual containment effect."
Powerful ghosts exist in totems, so as long as you find the true meaning of the totem, you can unravel the past of powerful ghosts, will it be easier to use this as a starting point? β
Yun Midu looked at him with a smile, Ye Ziye was a delicate person and good at thinking. Although he is sometimes 'naΓ―ve' when he often fries his hair, these are also things he does not have and needs.
"You can teach, Ziye, in fact, you have a power that I don't have, and this power is sometimes more powerful than spells.
No matter what the future holds, what life turns you will have, just remember one thing: be yourself, don't forget what you want to do and want, and you can get through all the difficulties. β
Although Ye Ziye didn't quite understand everything Yun Midu said, he still understood the last sentence.
Keep your original intention! Although he didn't know what his original intention was, or maybe he didn't realize it yet.
An hour later, the two got off the high-speed train and came to Yunnan.
Before going to the mountains, the two went around the old town of Lijiang and bought the equipment they needed in the mountains.
There are a lot of things that you can't bring on the high-speed rail, so you can get all the equipment here.
I rented a car from a car rental company, and although the car could not fully enter the mountains, at least it would not allow them to take a taxi back and forth.
After the equipment was complete, Yun Midu also took Ye Ziye to eat Yunnan's special snacks.
Although they are all delicious, Ye Ziye is a northerner, and he still can't adapt to most of the food.
In the evening, he said that he would not eat rice noodles and bait, so he ran to the Golden Arches and bought a bunch of fast food.
Yun Midu watched Ye Ziye and the hot pot quarrel again because of a piece of chicken wings, he walked to the small courtyard outside the room, looking at the moonlit night in the sky in a daze.
Under the moonlight, Yun Midu, who was dressed in a white shirt, was like a fairy descending to earth, almost blending with the moonlit night.
Ye Ziye, who had snatched the chicken wings, stood in the corridor upstairs and looked at him, with only one sentence in his mind.
Zongzhi is a chic and beautiful young man, looking at the blue sky with white eyes, as bright as a jade tree in front of the wind.
