XXXIV. Black Dreams
At this moment, the seal in He Lan's hand flashed with light.
Dreams creep in.
In the dream, He Lan woke up.
He slowly rose from the ground and found himself in a dark hall.
The hall was vast, filled with a white mist, and the darkness stretched infinitely on all sides.
The floor was cold obsidian, and several smooth pillars towered into the darkness, with no end in sight.
As he awoke, the everlasting lights around him suddenly lit up one by one, flickering with a faint blue light.
He Lan's consciousness was hazy, as if he had just woken up.
Here...... Is it a dream?
Black dreams.
He stood in the middle of the hall in a daze, only to hear a low, majestic voice slowly sounding behind him.
"Offer it."
He Lan was startled and looked towards the source of the sound.
It was a high shrine.
In the shrine, there was a bacon-like corpse, trapped by several bronze chains sticking out of the stone pillars.
Like an insect in the center of a spider's web.
Although he was dead, there seemed to be a faint blue fire in the eyes of the dry corpse.
"If you have a 'forgotten' seal, you can offer it."
"If you don't know what it means, you can't make the most of it."
"Offer the seal, and I will teach you."
He Lan was a little overwhelmed, but his palms suddenly lit up.
A faint seal character slowly floated into the air, glowing.
It was the "forgetfulness" Gu Seal that he inspired that day.
The ancient seal circled in the air, and then emitted a buzzing sound, and slowly flew into the palm of the dried corpse, turning into a small flame.
There was a dead silence.
A faint sneer seemed to flash in the eyes of the dry corpse.
The next moment, He Lan's head exploded as if it had been hit hard by a hammer, and it exploded with a "buzz", so painful that he couldn't help but let out a miserable scream.
Countless scenes poured into his mind......
It's just that no one knows.
It's like a boulder crashing into a frozen lake.
At the moment when the seal text returned to its place, the outside world was setting off a big wave of rendering.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The real world, Xijiang Province.
Mrs. Lei was drinking tea, and there was a continuous sound of rain outside the window.
Suddenly, I could only hear a scream outside the doorβ
"Look, the mountain in the distance has collapsed!"
What the?
The old lady's eyes lit up, and she quickly put down the tea in her hand and walked out of the door.
But I saw that the continuous mountain peaks in the distance seemed to tremble slightly.
The next moment, the entire earth began to tremble violently, showing cracks one after another.
The bamboo forest crackled and fell for thousands of miles.
The eaves trembled, and rats and birds fled in all directions.
Bang!
From the depths of the mountains, black smoke rose from the peaks.
Finally, it turned into a black cloud, and in just an instant, it covered the entire sky.
Suddenly, the sky was dark, and the sun was nowhere to be seen.
Moments later, thunder rolled.
The black rain, pouring down like ink, drowned the whole city in black.
Everyone didn't know what was going on, some were curious to take pictures, some were scolding to wipe off the sewage and ran to get an umbrella.
Only Mrs. Lei stood in place, ignoring the sewage and feeling cold down her spine.
"A grave in the depths...... Awake? β
They're coming back.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The real world, the Ancient Seal Academy.
This is a sacred place for seal practitioners in the real world.
One wears black, one wears white.
The two are playing chess.
"Hey, your army!"
"I won't let you be."
"I'll ...... again Hey? β
Outside the window, a bell suddenly rang.
The two of them glanced out the window, their faces changing dramatically.
Then he ran to the window and looked at the sculpture not far away.
The seven stone statues of the Earth Calamity Beast with their eyes closed all opened their eyelids at this moment.
The position of the eyeball is a bottomless black hole.
At this moment, the wind was blowing, and the countless bells on the stone base made a trembling sound, like a life talisman, without stopping.
Jingle Bell ......
The surrounding green and lush bamboo forests gradually turned yellow, withered, and died. It's like being rusted by something in the air.
Silent.
There was a long silence.
The chess pieces in the hands of the two also snapped and fell to the ground.
"They're coming back."
"The way of the world is still going to change."
"Obviously, the Ancient Seal Academy has just been restructured this year...... Maybe that's our fate. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
At this moment, the Chi family.
The fire in the West Garden was supposed to be extinguished.
At this moment, the flame suddenly rose into the sky, like a giant python, and slowly raised its head.
"Stand back! Quickly back off. Old Man Chi was so smoked that his eyes were full of tears, and he was shocked for a while.
The fire then soared into the sky, like a tornado, forming a burning cloud of fire, which rolled and flew away into the distance.
Only everyone was left, staring blankly at this scene.
Not far away, the granddaughter of the Chi family witnessed this scene, but secretly sighed in her heart.
I'm still a step too late.
He Lan...... Where are you?
Don't let anything happen to you!
β¦β¦β¦β¦
At this moment, He Lan is experiencing the most painful torture.
Countless scattered memories poured into my mind, overflowing like a whole ocean being stuffed into a glass of water.
Wearing sacrificial robes, the witch girl reverently danced her sword in the wind and rain.
The sword light flickered, and it seemed that the seal character was drawn in the air.
The mountain-like behemoth in the sea in the distance opened its huge eyes like mountain peaks, and slowly issued a trace of response in the clouds.
Countless kneeling people behind him stood up respectfully, and under the indifferent gaze of the girl, one by one they took the initiative to jump off the cliff and disappear into the waves......
And He Lan, who was watching from the sidelines, finally understood the true meaning of the 'forgetting machine' seal......
and how to use it.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
In the dark, the dry corpse quietly looked at He Lan who fell to the ground.
After absorbing the seal script, the flames in its eyes seemed to be more vigorous, and the black and thin body of the dry corpse seemed to glow slightly.
"Now that you've understood it, let's go back."
"Within a hundred breaths, I need you to offer the next seal."
"Otherwise, you can stay with me in this dark dream."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The tall woman walked towards Chi Taoyao step by step, watching the girl stand in front of He Lan, who had fainted, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but show a sneer.
"If you don't want to die, get out of here."
Chi Taoyao's face turned pale and he didn't speak.
Just biting his lip, a hint of stubbornness flashed in his eyes.
The scene where He Lan repeatedly protected herself, even at the cost of serious injury, was unconsciously deeply imprinted in her heart. Guilt and an unspeakable emotion made her no longer hesitate at the moment.
Chi Taoyao took a deep breath -
"Even if I die, I won't let him go!"
The woman's playful eyes disappeared.
In its place was a hint of coldness.
"Then die!"
Chi Taoyao lowered her head, a trace of despair flashing in her eyes.
I'm sorry, Brother He Lan.
Although you will definitely call me stupid.
But I don't know why, but I know that if I retreat now, I will lose a lot of things that are more important than my life.
At least this time, maybe I can make up for a little bit of stupidity.
Chi Taoyao slowly closed her eyes.
The woman whipped her aside.
Chi Tao snorted, rolled into the mud next to him, and fell to the ground coughing up blood, breaking several ribs.
The woman slowly stepped forward, lifted her high heels, and stomped on her palm!
Twisted up hard.
Chi Taoyao let out a miserable scream.
The woman snapped her fingers.
Countless paper butterflies flew over, slowly cutting through her clothes, revealing the girl's fair skin.
"Stupid girl."
"That kid is very good. Desperately let you go in order to report the news. What's the use of you desperately protecting him now? β
"When you die, I will still cut He Lan's tendons and take him away. You're only delaying for a while, what's the use? β
The woman played with the pieces of paper at her fingertips and smiled slowly.
"My highest record is 3,600 cuts in one second...... I took you as an experiment today, and I don't know if I will break this record. Hee-hee. β
Countless paper blades flew into the air, rattling.
Chi Taoyao's face turned pale.
just took one last look at He Lan, who was unconscious on the ground, but his heart was suddenly relieved.
I don't know why, I just feel that I can delay a little longer and look at him more.
Even if you die here, it's worth it.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Who knows, it is this minute of delay, but it just plays a life-and-death role.
At this moment, only a sigh was heard, and it sounded behind Cong.
Both of them shuddered.
He Lan, who fainted on the ground, actually got up slowly!
There was a hint of confusion in his eyes.
The "forgetful" ancient seal in the palm of his hand is shining brightly at the moment.
He Lan, awakened.
