307:A Curtain of Dreams (+2)
Mu Jiujiu remembered the first time she saw Rong Lu, she thought she was the kind of arrogant and willful, only concerned about love, and a slightly simple girl. But after getting up close, she found that she was very different from what she thought.
Maybe there are two sides to all human beings.
It's already late after returning to the inn.,Recently, because of the Demon World Ceremony.,People from several surrounding cities have come.,Some rooms in the inn are in short supply.γ
Fortunately, Wen Yuan had booked a room with the two of them before.
In addition to feeling the intimacy of the other party, Mu Jiujiu felt that it was still necessary to talk to the other party, but seeing that it was getting late, he planned to talk about it tomorrow morning.
β¦β¦
This day was extremely tiring, and Mu Jiujiu thought that he would sleep on the bed, but he didn't expect to toss and turn in the middle of the night.
I finally had sleepiness, but I had a bizarre dream.
She found herself barefoot on the top of the icy snow-capped mountain, and the snow was falling in the sky, and she didn't feel cold, and the snow that fell on her turned into a cloud of mist, and gradually dispersed.
She walked aimlessly.
At some point, it was already dark, and the stars in the sky fell on the snow, and she jumped up and down on them.
Ahead, there was a faint figure, the man holding a plain umbrella, seemed to be looking at the scenery in the distance.
Mu Jiujiu immediately recognized that the umbrella in the man's hand was the Fengyue Youmeng that he usually put by his side, and this person should be the sister Youmeng who he hadn't seen for a long time.
She shouted her name, but it was as if she hadn't heard.
Mu Jiujiu vaguely felt that this was different from the dreams she usually saw.
What she sees on weekdays is just an illusory shadow, although it is tangible, but she always feels that there is a lack of life, although this person is only in her dreams, but she really looks like a living person.
She ran past and came to her side, her countenance was the same as before, but her expression was much purer.
Yumu seemed to notice her, tilted his head to look at her, and asked, "Who are you?" β
β¦β¦
Mu Jiujiu was stunned for a moment when she heard this doubt, and the next second, she felt that she might be in a dream, and it was understandable that the other party didn't know her.
But will the dreamer know that he is in a dream?
She didn't think much of it.
Mu Jiujiu looked at Youmeng holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand, the flowers were white with a little blue color, which was particularly beautiful.
Yumeng noticed her gaze and smiled, "Do you like it?" β
"It's beautiful." Mu Jiujiu praised, she found that even if the other party didn't know her, her tone was very gentle.
"I don't know why, I always feel familiar when I look at you." Yumu looked at her and muttered.
"Me too, maybe we have a fate, or we will know each other in the future." Mu Jiujiu blinked slyly.
Yumeng chuckled when she heard her words, and put her eyes on the bouquet of flowers in her hand, and she said softly: "This is what he brought, I like it very much......"
"Who?" Mu Jiujiu seems to smell the smell of gossip.
"I don't know him, but he often comes here, whether it's the spring season, or the cold and harsh weather, he likes to live here alone and drink, sometimes when he gets drunk, he will get up to dance and chant poetry."
A faint smile appeared on Yume's face.
"You like him?" Mu Jiujiu looked at her, wanting to tease Sister Yumeng, who didn't seem to have fireworks.
"Loved it...... What is that? Who knows, there was a confused look on Yumeng's face.
Mu Jiujiu saw that the look on her face did not seem to be fake, and she was a little surprised in her heart.
ββ¦β¦ Don't you even know what it means to like? Heck, how can I explain it to you - you love seeing this person anyway, and sometimes the thought of him makes you smile at the corners of your mouth. β
"Is that what I like? Then I'...... I guess I like him. β
There was a little confusion in the dream's clear eyes: "...... I don't know much about your human feelings, I didn't have a mind or a body before...... I listened to the sound of the wind passing through the mountains and rivers every day, sometimes I would enjoy the lonely moon in the night sky alone, and sometimes I would see human beings, but they couldn't see me, and I lived like this for many years......"
After listening to it, Mu Jiujiu was surprised and a little clearer.
Although she didn't know if the situation in the dream was true or not, she had felt that the dream was a little less pyrotechnic, and in the past conversations with her, the other party seemed to have revealed that she was not human.
"That must be lonely, right?" Naturally, she said
"Lonely...... And what is it? β
Ghost Dream asked a similar question again.
ββ¦β¦ Heck, it's not easy to explain, it's like sometimes you see a strange flower, an interesting thing, and you want to tell someone, but you don't know who to talk to......"
No matter how you describe the feeling of Mu Jiujiu, it is difficult to describe the thoughts in your heart.
The dream was under the moon for a long time, revealing a little thoughtfulness.
"There shouldn't be...... I used to think this way, but now I can't...... Because he can see me, I sometimes talk to him. When he saw that I liked it, he would always bring me some flowers. Yumu said.
"That's good." Mu Jiujiu replied.
She suddenly didn't know what to say, the other party's gaze was quiet, she looked into the distance, like a painting.
Mu Jiujiu didn't want to disturb the tranquility at the moment, so he got up gently and left.
She walked for a long time, until the snow and ice around her melted, and he looked up to find that the bright moon in the sky had changed color and turned a blood-red color.
Mu Jiujiu's footsteps stopped, and she had an ominous premonition in her heart.
There was a wolf howl in his ears, which was particularly poignant under this blood-red color.
A black shadow appeared ahead, and a group of cruel beasts seemed to be biting at the flesh of a man, whose blood stained the nearby soil bright red.
Mu Jiujiu saw a corner of plain robe in a trance, and a strange feeling suddenly rose in his heart - he remembered that this was the dress of a dream.
She hurried forward, waving her arms to drive the beasts away, but strangely they did not attack her, and scattered. She came to the man, looked down, and saw a face that had been smoothed out and blurred, and the left side of the man's heart was empty, and blood was pouring out......
In her hand, she held a bouquet of blue flowers.
"Sister Dreamβ"
Mu Jiujiu sat up suddenly, covered in cold sweat, and the tragic situation of the dream just now seemed to still appear in his mind.
She looked up at the window, and the night sky was dotted with a few stars, and the occasional evening breeze blew, and everything seemed calm and peaceful.
Mu Jiujiu turned his head and found that Rong Lu beside him slept sweetly - this girl has a really big heart, before she sent her back to the inn, she cried heartbreakingly, but it turned out that it was so easy to fall asleep.
The present world is stable.
It's just a dream, she comforts herself.
But even so, Mu Jiujiu still had a trace of worry in her heart, and she summoned the Wind and Moon Dream and found that it was not abnormal, and it shimmered with a faint white light, as if to comfort her.
Mu Jiujiu chuckled, hugged it, and fell asleep again.
β¦β¦
When I woke up the next day, it was already dawn.
Mu Jiujiu was awakened by the noise downstairs.
She looked at Rong Lu next to her, and the other party curled sideways on the bed, which was an insecure gesture.
The morning light sprinkled on her face, which made her usually cold expression a little softer.
Mu Jiujiu's heart softened, and he twisted the quilt for her, then got up cautiously and walked downstairs.
Unexpectedly, after she left, Rong Lu suddenly got up, opened her eyes, and sat up calmly.
She walked to the table, spread out a piece of rice paper, and picked up the brushβ
β¦β¦
Mu Jiujiu walked to Wen Yuan's room and knocked on the door, but no one answered.
The other party should not have the habit of sleeping lazy, many times before, he prepared breakfast before he woke up.
She had some doubts in her heart, and pushed open the door to find that there was really no one inside.
At this time, a shopkeeper passed by, Mu Jiujiu asked the man, and the other party said: "The guest in this room, I went out early in the morning, and today the Demon World Hall is officially underway, and some of the other lords have arrived one after another, the other party should go to visit, right?" β
"That's it." Mu Jiujiu frowned, thinking that something had happened last night, she felt that she still needed to talk to him.
Rong Lu drank too much wine yesterday, so let her sleep lazily today and go and take a look by herself first.
With that in mind, she went downstairs and walked out of the inn door.
β¦β¦
Today, the streets are really lively.
She followed the crowd and found many guards in armor, as well as a few other demon people.
Mu Jiujiu was looking forward, but found that someone behind him patted him on the shoulder.
She looked back and saw that it was the same person from last night again.
It seems to be called Yin Zhou, and I don't know if it's a real name or a fake name.
"Why are you again?" She said.
"Listening to what you mean, it seems like you don't want to see me." The other party's expression still seemed to be smiling, but it was slightly condensed when he saw the dream of the wind and moon in her hand.
He paused for a moment and said, "Can you lend me your plain umbrella?" β
"Do what?" Mu Jiujiu immediately asked vigilantly.
"It's just a little curious, this artifact seems to be a little different from what I've seen on a daily basis."
Yin Zhou looked at her, his tone was sincere, and his words were sincere: "I came from a small place, I haven't seen the world, so it's better for me to appreciate this peerless umbrella." β
Mu Jiujiu didn't believe his nonsense, just looking at the temperament revealed by this person's gestures on weekdays, he knew that this person's birth must be extraordinary.
"Tell the truth, or I won't give it to you."
Yin Zhou's eyes flashed something, and he hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "I seem to have seen it wrong in a blink of an eye before, when you came down with an umbrella before, I vaguely saw an illusory shadow beside you...... So I wanted to take a look. β
Mu Jiujiu became more and more puzzled when she heard this, this person should be talking about Sister Youmeng, but she hasn't come out in the past few days, is this person deceiving her or something.
And he has a casual look on weekdays, but at this time, there is a bit of seriousness in his eyes.
Mu Jiujiu thought about it seriously, the existence of Youmeng can't be said to be a secret, it's just that the other party is usually quiet, so she doesn't want to disturb her about some things on weekdays.
"It's only been a few days, and we've met three times, can't it be said that it's fate, but I didn't expect to even look at your umbrella and ......"
After saying this, Yin Zhou immediately made a sad appearance of vicissitudes of life: "Pity me for walking all over the world and drinking all the fine wine in the world, but it is still difficult to meet a confidant who has a heart......to-heart"
"Okay, don't be poor, whoever is a confidant with you, in fact, it's not impossible to show you, the key is that your attitude is too suspicious."
After that, Mu Jiujiu handed Fengyue Yumeng to the other party, and the moment Yin Zhou took the umbrella, his expression suddenly became solemn, and the temperament of the whole person suddenly changed.
He raised his hand and poured spiritual power into it, only to find that the umbrella had not changed in the slightest.
"How so? Am I thinking wrong......" he muttered.
β¦β¦
Distance.
There were dark robes flying in the air.
Wen Yuan looked at the two people who were talking in front of him, his eyes were faint.
In fact, maybe Mu Jiujiu didn't realize that she has a unique charm that makes people close. This situation will make people unconsciously relax in front of her, look at her quiet smile, and suddenly feel that some of the troubles in their hearts are swept away.
Wen Yuan lowered his eyes.
He used to think that the flower he had accidentally found was only blooming for him.
In fact, it is natural to watch their conversation, and it also knows that her expression and words will never have any ambiguous meaning, just ordinary communication.
He knew the man next to her.
Yin Zhou.
He was born well, and he used to be very popular in the human world with his fairly good skin and good speech. Although Wen Yuan has never fought against him personally, after all, he was born in a good family, so he should be able to handle it.
Later, after an incident, he was decadent for a period of time and began to live a life of dogs and horses. was spending a lot of money in the Qinglou, and later heard that he began to march around, regardless of the return date.
What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet here.
This man is not a good match.
Wen Yuan sat on top of a tall tree, looking down at the crowd below. He looked at them, at the faces with different expressions, all kinds of beings, and took them in.
He is a withdrawn person, he has never been good at expressing his heart, and it comes from the inexplicable stubborn pride in his heart, and many times even if he is misunderstood, he is unwilling to explain.
Wen Yuan looked away in the blowing wind.
If she gives it to him, it is the same as what others give......
β¦β¦
Mu Jiujiu looked at Yin Zhou in front of him.
I saw him holding the wind and clouds in his hand to observe it repeatedly, and injecting spiritual power into the umbrella again and again, and finally, the bright color under his eyes slowly dimmed.
She felt that his behavior was inexplicable, and said, "This is my spirit weapon, naturally you can't use it." β
After that, she took Fengyue Youmeng in her hand, injected spiritual power, and made it instantly transform into a sword as usual, but strangely, it didn't change in the slightest.
"Hey, how can this be." At this time, even Mu Jiujiu was stunned.
"It's okay, I felt a familiar aura in it before, but then that breath disappeared, probably really my delusion." Yin Zhou said calmly.
I only understood what is precious when I lost it, I have been delusional for too long, I feel like her when I see everything, and every scene and thing seems to be related to her.
"No, this ...... before"
