Chapter 182: Pu Jia
The real shrine maiden Pu Jia was seriously injured in the dream and will die after all.
She said she wanted to see something, so she asked me to take her back to Locust Bay, and I chose to believe her and didn't refuse.
The loneliness of her childhood made her create an ideal self in her dreams, but in the end it became her nightmare.
Pu Jia continued: "Because my mother gave birth to me and died in childbirth, I was considered an ominous person when I was born. People hate me, ostracize me, bully me. So I created this ideal playmate in my dreams, and I gave her the qualities I wanted: intelligence, empathy, and a spirit of resistance. Before, I had always fallen asleep and woke up naturally, and when I became a shrine maiden, I learned to construct dreams. And the ministers who built the dream taught us that the construction of the dream requires a dream key and a mantra for entering the dream and leaving the dream, and they sternly warned us that these two things are the most important things and should not be told to anyone, including the person in the dream.
I was still young, and I didn't understand why there was this taboo, but I kept it.
When the Taiping army attacked Liangcheng and fell into a siege, and no one survived, the bizarre incident of soldiers resurrecting and swords moving by themselves occurred, and I deduced that maybe the dream might have been brought to reality.
To verify, I burned the potted flowers and panicked into the dream.
My playmate noticed my anomaly and asked why, and I told her the inference.
Then, in the dream, the dead flower is constructed, resurrected, and blooms.
I came back to reality and found that it was really exactly the same, confirming that my inference was correct.
I was terrified, but at the same time I understood why the officials warned the dream tellers about the taboo.
If dreams can be brought to reality, then the person in the dream can also come to reality through keys and mantras to replace the dreamer. That's why this taboo is observed.
At this point, I also realized that I might have made a mistake and that I shouldn't have told my dream mate about the inference.
But it was too late.
When I later entered the dream, she asked if the verification was successful, and I pretended to shake my head, saying that it had failed and that the inference was wrong.
But she had those qualities that I wanted and they all worked at the moment.
She is smart, she naturally sees the clues, and she is empathetic, so that she is good at disguise and tricking my words. The most important spirit of resistance made her decide that she was no longer bound to dreams, and she wanted to come to reality.
So, she encouraged me to explore the laws of dreams.
At that time, I still believed in her because she was the ideal person.
Finally, I was able to enter other people's dreams, and she also wanted to follow me into other people's dreams to see, but she was created by my dreams and could only be confined to my dreams.
It was then that she realized that the only way to reality was through a substitute for me.
So, she was smart and began to indirectly inquire about the key and mantra of the dream.
At that time, I finally realized the danger and realized that she could become a nightmare, but I didn't want to believe it, because she had always been my ideal, the person of my dreams.
The Taiping army is becoming more and more chaotic, and I recognize Zhang Jiao.
Maybe it was at her instigation, or maybe it was my own decision, the only way to stop the madness of the Taiping army was to kill Zhang Jiao in a dream.
So, I entered Zhang Jiao's dream again, but before I went, I told her the key and mantra of the dream.
Zhang Jiao originally had immortal skills, and I killed him in a sneak attack in a dream, but I was also injured.
When I returned to my dream, the last thing I wanted to see happened.
The playmate is holding the key, almost frantically chanting the mantra, trying to go to reality.
But the keys and mantras I told her were all fake, and it was impossible for her to get out.
When she saw me coming back, she frantically accused me of lying to her, but she didn't lie to me all the time.
At that time, I wanted to get rid of her in a dream, but I was seriously injured, and I was reluctant, after all, she grew up with me and was my only spiritual support.
In the real world, sooner or later, the Taiping army will find that Zhang Jiao has become a living dead, and the one they will suspect the most is me, the goddess of dreams. The most important thing now is to escape.
So I forcibly returned to reality despite her resistance, and injected her into the meteorite along with the spiritual power, sealing it.
When I escaped in reality, I found out that it was too late.
That night, because of the emergency military situation, the Taiping army had discovered Zhang Jiao's abnormality and surrounded me.
I was put alive in a coffin.
And the meteorite, left outside.
I heard in the coffin that the emergency military situation turned out to be that the Han army had attacked, and Zhang Jiao was dead, and the entire Taiping army had no leader, just a plate of scattered sand.
After the game, it was decided to bury me alive in a hidden place in the deep mountains that had just been discovered, and the meteorite and the "Taiping Technique" were used as a burial companion outside the coffin, all of which were regarded as shared secrets, and when the Taiping army returned, they would come back to summon spirits and use me.
And when they went, they never came back.
It wasn't until a hundred years ago that people from the outside world entered the tomb and found me. “
Hearing this, the whole story has been coherent.
It is estimated that the people who stayed in Huaishuwan may be the descendants of the Taiping army's tomb guards, they themselves are illiterate farmers, and in the process of transmission, the original secret is forgotten in the long river of history.
The descendants end up just living there, and they don't know what the past has ever been.
Until a hundred years ago, the bandits slaughtered the village and discovered the ancient tomb behind the mountain.
They knew that the coffin was not simple, but in order to deal with the Taoist priest who was chasing them, that is, my grandfather, they forcibly released the female ghost.
We had walked a long way up the mountain and had already seen the pond outside Locust Bay.
Pu Jia suddenly asked, "There was once a white-robed Taoist priest here, is he your senior?" ”
"Which Taoist priest?" I suddenly realized that what she was talking about might be Master Zu, so I nodded and said, "It may be my Master Zu." ”
Pu Jia said: "I once hid the silk silk that studied the hidden land on my body, and later was brought into the coffin together. In the end, this silk silk, along with meteorite and a copy of "Taiping Essentials", was taken away by the Taoist priest. If you see a secret of the hidden realm, don't covet it, it will only hurt you. ”
But I could only smile bitterly and said, "You have seen before, there are other Dao sects that have begun to set foot in your ancient tomb, and the battle in the hidden land has begun, and I am also involved in it. ”
Pu Jia sighed, Chen Xuanming and they had been to the ancient tomb, so she naturally knew.
At this time, Pu Jia reached out in front of me and opened his palm, and there was the meteorite in it.
No wonder after waking up, I felt no more pain in my body, it turned out that the meteorite may have been taken out by her when we shook hands.
She handed the meteorite in front of me and said, "All the spiritual power here has been absorbed by me, and now it is just a key. To you. ”
I reached out and took it.
Pu Jia said in my ear: "When I was a child, I was full of fear of the outside world, so I hid in my dreams. But later, as I grew up, I saw a lot of things clearly, understood a lot of truths, and there is no way to solve the problem by dodging, rather than passively trying to escape, it is better to face it calmly. No matter how beautiful the dream is, it is illusory in the end. That's why, last night, when I sensed the undead's movements, and learned from the undead's mouth, that the meteorite had entered your body, the nightmare would also be released, so I found you tonight. Because, when the story has a beginning, there should be an ending, so I decided to make a decision. ”
It turned out that it was no accident that she came to Taoist Bay tonight, no wonder she told Nightmare in her dream that it was for her.
At this time, we had come to Huaishuwan, and she came down from behind me, then took my hand and said, "Little Taoist, since you have been involved in the dispute, you need to face it bravely. ”
I nodded and said, "I already understand this. ”
She looked at me and smiled, and said, "Thank you for saving me in my dream, and thank you for believing in me, I'll give you two things as a shrine maiden." ”
As he spoke, he gently hugged me and kissed me on the lips.
I felt an aura that was passing through my lips and into my body.
And the warm current in my body slowly rose, but this time the spiritual power did not have the slightest hostility, and was slowly accepted by the warm current.
After a long time, she left my lips, then walked into the tomb, and then walked out again.
I saw that there was a glowing bead on her palm, and if I guessed correctly, it was a Xuanqi bead.
Pu Jia said, "Give it to you." ”
She used to study the hidden realm for Zhang Jiao, so naturally she would also collect aura. I didn't expect her to give me two big gifts.
However, I remember that when the aura of the Hidden Realm was collected, its owner would disappear with it, and he would voice his doubts.
After hearing this, she looked around and said, "I'm a witch, and I know what I know best is aura. Although the power of the Hidden Realm has been collected by me, I have made a fake one to replace it, and even if someone collects it, they will get a fake Xuan Xuan Bead, and it is difficult to find. ”
At this time, she looked at the sky and said, "Since ancient times, countless people have dreamed of the hidden land, and I have long planned to hide the real and replace it with the fake one, and destroy those people's plans. ”
Then she looked at me and said, "I was thinking that after solving the nightmare, I would leave with the real Xuanzhu and disappear into the world, but now I have been hit hard in the dream and am about to disappear, and the plan cannot be completed. The first time you came here that day, when I inhaled your yang energy, I felt that you were a kind and pure person. So I'll leave this to you. I pin my ideals on you. ”
"You mean that you want me to be your ideal person."
She nodded and said, "Smart, empathetic, and rebellious. It's just that I hope you don't go bad and become a nightmare on earth. ”
I didn't speak, and my vows for the future were empty promises.
Only abiding by one's own morality is the best commitment.
It occurred to me and I asked, "Aren't you looking at something?" ”
She looked up at the sky again and said, "It's almost time to come out." ”
The sky has already dawned, and in a while, the sun will come out, could it be that what she wants to see is the sun?
But she was exposed to the sun and could only disappear immediately.
I began to tie the thatch into a lily garment to shield her from the sun.
She saw that I was busy, but she just smiled and didn't speak.
Finally, when the robe was ready, I draped it over Pujia, and the sun began to shine on the earth.
There was sunlight shining through the gap in the thatched coat, and black smoke immediately rose from there, and I hurriedly covered the sun with my hands.
Pu Jia looked at me and said, "When I was a child, I was always afraid of the sun and the outside world, and I just thought about hiding in the tall Taishouzong Temple and dreaming of myself. But when I was locked up in the tomb for so long, I found that I longed for the sun and the outside world so much. ”
She continued: "There are so many dark places in the world, when you stay there, don't be afraid, don't hide, you have to learn to face it calmly. Because one day, you will walk into the sunshine again. ”
As she spoke, she took off her robe, bathed in the sun, looked at the sun, as if enjoying the sun, and said affectionately: "Sunshine, it's really beautiful." ”
Then, the whole person turned into black ashes and disappeared into thin air.
Pu Jia, gone.
