243:Falling into a dream

The whole okra is excited, so it is right, the town in front of her, these townspeople, are not the people of the period in which she lived, at least six hundred years ago!

As far as she knew before, there was a situation that might cause this phenomenon, that is, she went back to the time that had happened by entering the divine thoughts of the souls, but obviously what was happening now was different, because Xiao Qinglong was also there, and all the souls she had captive were also there, which proved that she was not from the divine thoughts, but they actually existed in this place.

"Little brother, I just entered the town and strayed here after dark, what is the name of your town?" Okra asked.

The guy didn't think much about it, and replied casually: "It's called Pear Blossom Town, we produce pears here, hey, have you found the money?" ”

The guy is still waiting for her penny.

Okra definitely didn't have this Eastern Dynasty Dahong coin, so he touched the broken silver to him, the coin was not universal, but the silver at that time was usable, and he didn't let him find more, so he was a reward, the guy was happy to bloom, and after a while, he sent them a plate of wild boar, saying that it was fresh, and the okra picked it up and smelled it, it was really wild boar, very fresh, but she didn't dare to eat it.

As soon as the guy left, Zhao Jibo said suspiciously: "Strange, even if we came to the other world by chance, we are now in the Baiwang Mountains, Baiwang Ridge dates back to six hundred years ago and is not the land of the Hong Kingdom, and there is a difference of 108,000 miles, how can there be a small town in the Hong Kingdom in this Baiwang Mountains, and what is the relationship between the town and the Baiwang Mountains?" ”

'Zhao Jibo's mouth' At that time, about 90 years ago, okra's grandmother walked at night, and she couldn't find a place to put a bowl, and when she woke up, it was already dawn, and when she was about to set off to continue her journey, she suddenly found a village in front of her, and she was very surprised, because the night before she was sure that there was absolutely no village around, and she was born as a Feng family, and she had great courage, so she went directly into the village; , is busy with her own work, is not uncommon to the entry of the living, but as soon as Grandma Feng entered, she found that the clothes worn by the people in this village were relatively old, not like the current dress, she also found that these villagers in the village who looked normal were actually not people, all of them were dead, and they had strayed into the other world, this kind of place, it was difficult to get out by mistake, because the place where the ghost lives is particularly yin, where can ordinary people bear it? Even if you can go out, you have to lose half your life and get seriously ill, and bring bad luck, but Grandma Fengtai is a member of the Feng family, and she went out of the village safe and sound.

Originally, this was the case, but Grandma Feng was also a kind person, she felt that since she had the opportunity to enter this otherworldly village, she couldn't just leave like this, so she went to the neighborhood to inquire, and heard from a local old man that this place was flooded a few decades ago, and many villages were washed away overnight!

When Grandma Feng heard this, she knew in her heart why this otherworldly village existed, back then, those villagers who originally lived here suddenly died due to natural disasters, they didn't know that they were dead, but in fact they were dead, there were many people in the village, but all of them thought they were still alive, and under this powerful idea, the otherworld was born, prompting these people who had already died to live as they were when they were alive.

This is also somewhat similar to the incident of Liang Yongan, the original Honggu, when Liang Yongan's family encountered mountain bandits, and the whole family died except for her, but Feng Yunyan managed to make his family live like alive, living in the place where they lived before their death, this is also a secret method in the Yin Technique, this secret method needs a thought of people or spiritual objects to support, that is, there is a belief in these' The idea that the ghost is still alive exists, and the idea that Liang Yongan's family lived with him for half a year like when he was alive is that Liang Yongan woke up and believed that his family was still alive and that the mountain bandits were just a dream.

When I returned to the otherworldly village that Grandma Feng encountered, there was no help from the Yin Walkers, and it was because the ideas of the entire village were blessed together that the otherworldly village appeared!

Grandma Feng knows very well that after people die, stay in the yang world, for a long time, they will not be reincarnated, if one day they know that they are dead, then the idea of forming another world will disappear, and the other world village will also disappear, these people will become lonely ghosts, and finally end up with a scattered soul, so she went back to the village, found the highest place, lit a pillar of gray incense, and the people in the village soon came to her and knelt in front of her, because they smelled the fragrance, they found that they were dead, So I begged Grandma Feng to help them overdue, and Grandma Feng came here for this reason, and she helped the soul in the village to overdo it that day, and the otherworldly village disappeared with it!

Okra said: "At first, I thought that we had entered a town in the other world, but according to my grandmother, when she first entered the village, she saw that none of the people in the village were alive, but when we entered this town today, these people are all living people, at least with my eyes, I can't see that they are dead!" ”

Even Zhao Jibo, who knew a lot, was silent this time, they sat in the restaurant for a while, there was a storyteller in this restaurant, and he told a story for a long time over there, from a businessman buying an official to a county official taking a concubine, and it was very interesting, but for okra, there was no inspiration at all, but after the storyteller finished telling the story of the fairy official concubine, he took a sip of tea, his face changed, and his voice was modulated: "The story I am going to tell next is different, it is not a businessman who buys an official or a county official who takes a concubine!" ”

"What's that?" The listener asked curiously.

"It's a demon! Man-eating demon! ”

Okra had given up deliberately hearing Mr. Storyteller's story, and when she heard this, she raised her head.

Mr. Storyteller said word by word: "This demon is amazing, everywhere you go, the village does not leave people, blood flows like a river, it has a very nice name, called Mei Shu, it is said that she was a tombstone, the owner of the tombstone died in vain, resentment covered the stele for many years, and after war, the evil monster that came by devouring resentment, it is rumored that she likes to turn into a young and beautiful woman the most, every time she goes to a place, she will stay there for a few days, when she leaves, everyone in that place is gone, because everyone was eaten by her!" ”

Speaking of young and beautiful women, the guy suddenly subconsciously looked at the okra, she was from outside the town, and her eyes were still strange, and she was a bit like the monster called the charm tree in Mr. Storyteller.

The storyteller continued: "Many years ago, there was a village in the east called Yoshimura, and the people in the village disappeared overnight, and the merchant who rushed to the goods passed by the village and found that there was no one in the village, and he had only been to the village three days ago! At that time, the people in the village were still there, but he didn't know where he went, but because it was late at that time, he stayed in the empty village to rest, but at night, he heard someone crying outside, he opened the door and looked, and saw the villagers wailing outside, he had the courage to ask, only to know that the whole village was eaten by the monster called Meishu, and the monster ate their flesh, lest they go down to the underworld to complain, and even used mana to trap the soul of their whole village in the village, and the merchant was the only one to enter the village. Only those villagers were left to ask the merchant to help them avenge their grievances, only to kill the monster, their souls had to go down to the underworld to reincarnate, the merchant saw that these villagers were pitiful, so he promised to come down, after the merchant came out of the village safely, he did go around to find the master, trying to ask the master to kill the monster, there were two mages in front of him, but there was no return, and then no one went forward, the merchant had more than enough strength and strength, and finally had to give up, so far the soul of the village has not been able to go down to reincarnate, That man-eating demon is still plundering and doing evil, hey......"

"Bang." A drinker in the restaurant suddenly turned his head to Okra's face, and was so frightened that the wine bowl in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.

Then he fled from the restaurant in a hurry, shouting, "Youkaiβ€”Youkai!" ”

Seeing him flee, the other drinkers who reacted also fled out one after another, and the restaurant that was still crowded with people just now was soon left with only a table of okra and the gentleman who told the story on it.

Okra didn't move when she saw those people running out, after all, it wasn't the first time, she was curious why the storyteller and the guy who had just rescued him didn't run.

She got up from the table, walked to the middle of the tavern, stood at the storyteller's table, and asked, "Why aren't you afraid of me?" ”

Mr. Storyteller glanced at her, and it was not difficult to find that there was a kind of wariness of her.

"Because you...... It's not that youkai......"

As soon as the others heard that Mr. Storyteller told the story and saw Okra again, they thought she was a monster and fled in a swarm, and Mr. Storyteller should have seen Okra come in, and he should have intended to tell the story of this charming tree here, so Okra might as well boldly ask: "What did that merchant have to do with you back then?" ”

The storyteller was obviously stunned for a moment, and after a pause, he plucked up the courage to say, "I am the merchant!" ”

Okra knew in his heart, and then asked: "Why did Bisheng tell the story of the man-eating monster when he saw me here, and what does the man-eating monster have to do with me?" ”

The storyteller swallowed, got up from the table, walked over to okra, bent his knees, and knelt down.

"You're ......"

"And ask the master to do justice to the innocent people who died tragically in that villageβ€”" the storyteller pleaded with a trembling voice.

Okra frowned, and asked curiously, "Aren't you worried that I'm in league with that monster?" ”

Seeing that there was no one else, the storyteller explained: "Actually, there has never been a merchant, and not all the people in that village have been eaten by monsters, and there is only one boy left, and that boy is me!" ”

This surprised Okra, "If you were the survivor of that village, then you should have seen that youkai at the time!" ”

The storyteller nodded, he said: "I am an orphan, the village people raised me, and I have a pair of spiritual eyes since I was a child, can see foreign objects, the day the monster entered the village, I saw that she had a problem, quietly reminded the villagers, but the villagers did not believe it, helplessly, I had to escape from the village alone overnight, and because the villagers were kind to me, I was really relieved, the next day at dawn, I returned to the village, at that time there was no one in the village, and so on at night, the ghosts of the villagers appeared, telling me that they were trapped here, Asked me to find a master for them to come and kill the demon, I naturally agreed, but then I found two masters to kill, but there was no news, and then no one went, and the village became a deserted village and isolated from the world, twenty years have passed, but I have never forgotten the soul trapped in that village, and I have never forgotten to find a master who can kill the monster, so I traveled around and told the world the story about the monster, just to find someone who knew the origin of the charm tree and could kill her!! ”

"Then why do you think I can help you kill that monster?"

The other party subconsciously glanced at Zhao Jibo and Xiao Qinglong behind the okra, and the look of fear appeared in his eyes again, and he whispered: "I have been to many places in the past twenty years, and I have also visited the foreign warlocks in the world, I only need to take a look, and I know that they are far from being the opponents of the monster, but you are different, the two people who follow you, the boy in the green robe has a ...... Water caltrop...... It's not a thing in the pool, such an immortal family is so respectful to you, presumably your ability is above theirs, so I deliberately told that story, hoping to get your attention! ”

Only then did okra understand that the other party did not see what she was capable of, but saw the true body of the little green dragon, so that the eyes of this storyteller were really good.

It's just that what makes her headache is that she obviously went to Baiwangling to save Brother Wei, but for some reason, she came to a small town in Hongguo hundreds of years ago, and was asked by this storyteller to subdue demons and eliminate demons......

"But I have something important to do." Okra is embarrassed.

"Master." Zhao Jibo called her beside her, she looked back and didn't ask anything.

Zhao Jibo continued: "If this is not another world, these people also exist, we don't belong here, but somehow we came here, I thought about it carefully just now, maybe there is a possibility!" ”

"What is possible?"

"Master, think about it carefully, what did you suddenly see last time when you were fighting with Fengyue Shen in Prince Zhao's Fenghuaju, and the scene you saw at that time did not exist in the eyes of others at that time, but why can't you tell the difference, and even believe that it is true?"

With Zhao Jibo's reminder, Okra suddenly realized: "I know, when people are dreaming, it is difficult for people to realize that they are dreaming, and what happens in dreams, even if it is abnormal, is difficult to distinguish clearly at the moment of the dreamer, because the dreamer does not know that he is dreaming!" ”

Zhao Jibo nodded.

Okra looked around, her gaze fell on the storyteller's face, and confirmed, "So I'm dreaming!" ”

It's Prince Zhao!!

Sure enough, it was Prince Zhao's ghost!

But now because of Zhao Jibo's reminder, she knows that she exists in a dream, but she still can't break the dream in front of her, and if she can't break this dream, they will always be trapped here.

At this time, she remembered that the last time she helped her break her dream was Hirome's purse, she immediately reached out and looked for it in her close pocket, and then she held the purse in her hand and said, "Hirome, help me wake up!" ”

Mr. Storyteller couldn't understand what they were talking nonsense, looked at it blankly, and finally couldn't help asking, "Master, can you promise to help me get rid of that monster?" My whole village has been trapped in that place for twenty years......"

Knowing that this was a dream, Okra was in no mood to deal with the storyteller in this dream, she waved her sleeves and said, "I'm busy!" I'll be fine when I wake up! ”

"Superior! Expert! I have been waiting for you with the villagers for 20 years, and you must save them! Please! ”

The other party has been kneeling on the ground and begging, okra heard that her ears were about to explode, and at this time she had been pounding at Guangmu for a long time, but there was no movement, she simply opened the purse to see what was inside.

Then she saw that there was a strand of hair in it, and when she took it out and looked at it in her hand, the strand of hair turned into smoke and dissipated in her hand.

Okra's heart tightened inexplicably, as if something in her heart had dissipated with this strand of hair.

Zhao Jibo reminded her: "Master, this is a wisp of divine thought with hair as a token, which can only be used once, last time you used it in Fenghuaju, so this time it can't help you, and as you can see, even if this strand of hair is still there, it may not be able to wake us up from this dream, because this time, the dream giver not only gives you a dream, but he also trapped the silk and Xiaoqing in the dream together, it can be seen that although this dream is not dangerous, but its power is much higher than the last time!" ”

"Prince Zhao actually led us into this Hundred Kings Ridge, proving that he came prepared, the last time he cast a dream on me, he wanted me to kill Feng Yueshen of Yin Yang Valley in front of everyone, what kind of dream is this time?"

When they were puzzled, the storyteller was still crying and begging, and Okra suddenly had an idea, and speculated: "The dreamer can give the dreamer a dream he created at will, and all the people and things in this dream are constructed by the dreamer, why did Prince Zhao let us come to this town hundreds of years ago?" Could it be that everything that happened has something to do with the broken dream? ”

Xiao Qinglong, who has not spoken, came up and said: "Our dragon clan also often dreams with the world, and the dreams that are given have a meaning and meaning, mostly to warn the world not to do disrespectful actions to the dragon clan, but there is also a kind of dream, but it is not only for warning and prophecy, but our dragon clan is not convenient to appear in front of the world, so we will achieve the goal by dreaming, so this is not only a dream, but what happened in the dream is also real, Qing Yu guessed, to break this dream, it is related to the monster called Mei Shu that appeared in this dream!" ”

After hearing this, okra felt that what she said was reasonable, so she turned around and asked the storyteller, "Where is the monster you said and the deserted village?" ”

The other party replied: "To the east of this town, it is a five-day journey to arrive, and in the past twenty years, the monster has been entrenched in that side, often going out to eat people, because the local villagers have nothing to do with her, so they fled there, gradually, there is no one in that radius of a hundred miles, I have not dared to go back to that place for several years, and I don't know if it is still doing evil there!" ”

Okra thought for a moment and said, "It's just a dream, I'll go and do the right thing for heaven!" ”

"Thank you, my hard-working neighbors can finally get out of the sea of suffering, thank you!" The storyteller was grateful, and Okra sighed in his heart, although it was just a dream, but the person in this dream was so real, as if it had really existed.

They didn't want to delay in their dreams, because it would take too long to travel for five days, so Okra proposed, "Let's go to town and see if we can find some fast horses." ”

The storyteller was embarrassed and said, "Don't hide it, there are no horses in this town, only donkeys, shall I go and borrow a few donkeys?" ”

Okra frowned, donkey? The speed of a donkey is not as good as her two legs!

At this time, Xiao Qinglong spoke: "Master, in fact, you don't have to look for a horse, there is a way that can allow you to travel thousands of miles a day, and you will soon be able to reach that place!" ”

After speaking, Xiao Qinglong walked towards the outside of the restaurant, and the okra and they also followed, and then saw Xiao Qinglong's sleeves wave, turning into a dragon and rising into the air.

In this peaceful town, when the dragon soars, it attracts a strong wind, and the townspeople see the dragon, and they all kneel and bow.

Okra stood in front of the tavern and looked up at the majestic dragon in front of him, guessing that the little green dragon was going to take it to the place where the monster was, and his heart was indescribably excited.

The little green dragon flew around in mid-air and came back, touching a dragon's claw to the ground, okra did not hesitate, climbed up, and then Mr. Storyteller also followed, and the dragon turned its head and flew into the clouds and disappeared!

The genius was slightly bright, and they arrived near the deserted village that the storyteller pointed to, and sure enough, as he said, the people here had already left because they had fled from the monsters, and there were no people in a radius of 100 miles, and the grass was overgrown everywhere, and the villages they saw were all dilapidated and dilapidated and had been vacant for several years, and several of them were walking on the road, and they had never seen a wild dog, quite a bit of the feeling they had when they first entered Baiwangling.

However, as they dismount from the dragon and head towards the deserted village that Mr. Storyteller remembers, they suddenly see a man walking in front of them.

This has long been a place where there are no people and monsters, and suddenly a person walks on the road, very abrupt and weird, okra stares at the back of the person, like a woman, wearing a water-blue dress, walking neither fast nor slow.

"That'...... That...... The man seemed to be ......"

Seeing that he was flustered, Okra couldn't help but mess up, reached out and patted the other party's shoulder lightly and said, "Don't worry, if that monster appears, she must have known our intentions, this is a Taoist person, we will talk about it first!" ”

As she spoke, she led them on, and the woman walked for a while, leaning on the rocks in the mountains to rest, and soon saw okra and others walking behind, the woman smiled and said very politely: "This girl's eyes are so special, where is this going?" ”

Oh, he took the initiative to ask, and okra was not in a hurry, and replied with a smile: "There is a Yoshimura in the east, I'll go there!" ”

The woman said enthusiastically: "I know Yoshimura, just ahead, I don't know what the girl is doing in that village?" ”

Okra still replied in that tone: "I was entrusted by someone to help someone end an old thing twenty years ago!" ”

"Oh? That girl should not go! The woman seemed to persuade with good intentions.

"Why?" Okra smiled, and looked at the other party seriously, but wanted to hear what the other party could say.

But the other side said, "You can't get rid of that old thing, don't be like those warlocks who don't know how to do it, and throw your life there!" ”
