Chapter 176: Playmates

I finally understood why she had been afraid of the little girl beggar, most likely, by reminding her of that playmate.

It is said that many children, when they were young, imagined their playmates, especially those who felt lonely.

They feel as if their playmates are real, with the qualities they want to play with.

I looked in the direction of the bazaar and asked, "Is that little beggar just now very similar to your playmate in your dreams?" ”

She shook her head and said, "Actually, it doesn't look the same, but the eyes feel a little similar." ”

At this time, we continued to walk, passing a jewelry shop with all kinds of girls' accessories, she chose a white jade bracelet and put it on her hand, and I picked up a beaded hairpin and stuck it in her hair.

She was already very beautiful, and she looked even more delicate with a beaded hairpin, so I took a bronze mirror from the shelf next to the shop, took a picture of her, and said, "You are really like a fairy." ”

She turned her head to look at herself in the bronze mirror, suddenly screamed, then shook off her jewelry and ran away frantically.

I hurriedly chased after her, not understanding why she reacted the way she did.

Is she afraid to see her own appearance, but who will be idle and beautiful?

I caught up with her by the pond in the city, and grabbed her, but she suddenly turned around, put her arms around me, and murmured, "Don't let me see her, I'm afraid." ”

As he spoke, his body trembled uncontrollably, and it seemed that he was really frightened.

When she had calmed down, I helped her sit down by the pond and asked, "Is your playmate what you are?" ”

She nodded and said, "I'm afraid of others, I can't think of anyone who will be my playmate, I can only think of another self." So, I imagined myself and had the same fate as me, so that she wouldn't dislike me and play with me. It's just that I think she should be braver than me, more lively than me, and more resistant than me. ”

I answered, "What you mean, your playmate, is your ideal self." ”

She nodded and said, "In everyone's heart, there is a perfect self, thinking that I should behave like this, thinking that I should treat people and things around me like this." ”

When she said that, it was true.

I have always fantasized that I can become a powerful Taoist priest, punish evil and promote good, and be sought after.

In other words, this is everyone's lust.

As in the fantasy, the protagonist suddenly has money, suddenly has adventures, and has a romantic story, and spends money at every turn, slapping people who look down on him in the face.

In fact, in reality, we are so small and vulnerable.

But I wonder how I can become a demon if I am an ideal self that I have constructed.

She continued: "With her presence, I am no longer alone. She understands me, cares about me, and loves me. When I encounter setbacks in reality, in dreams, she will find ways to amuse me. She has been my best friend, my best confidant, during those painful years when I was a shrine maiden when I was a child. I even really feel that she is real. And I, too, slowly grew into the most powerful shrine maiden in the temple. ”

At this time, she reached into the pond and began to play with the small fish in the water, and the mud in the water was also driven by the fish, and soon, it became cloudy.

She looked at the slowly muddy water and said, "I thought that I would be a witch maiden in the Taishouzong Temple for a lifetime, and dream for a lifetime. But unexpectedly, the world has changed. Taiping Dao began to rise, and soon it was about to attack Liangcheng. ”

"At that time, Taishou asked me to predict the future, and he arranged his troops. Because there was a rebellion in Liangcheng before, I accurately predicted it, so Taishou believed in my ability at that time. Based on his intelligence and advice, I began to construct a dream, and predicted that the Taiping army that attacked the city would fall into an ambush and not survive. After Taishou got the result, he was very happy and set the trap according to the settings in the dream. Soon after, the Taiping army attacked, and they were really ambushed, as predicted. And I, after becoming the strongest shrine maiden, walked out of the temple for the first time to verify the results and prepare for the next step of building a dream. ”

I asked, "Are they really all dead?" No life? ”

She shook her head, and continued: "At the end of the battle, the military report came, and there was no survivor, so I went there to observe the appearance of the Taiping army, equipment, etc., and build the details of the next dream. Because there was no survivor and no danger, I went alone to the battlefield, where there were corpses all over the place. I felt a little scared, but I was comforted that I didn't do anything, just predicted the outcome through the dream. But as I was about to leave, I saw that one of the soldiers was still alive and was standing up.

But I don't have to think about it, the soldier has already rushed over, sword raised, ready to slash.

I thought I was going to die, but who knew that an abandoned knife beside me suddenly moved itself and stabbed into the soldier's heart. At this time, I felt infinite fear. ”

I asked, "Why are you afraid?" Is it because there was no prediction that there would be soldiers alive? ”

She shook her head and said, "No, but because of a terrible inference that came to my mind. ”

"What inference?"

Instead of answering right away, she said, "To test my inference, I went back to Jongmyo and burned a plant to death, then returned to my room and began to construct the dream. When I woke up, I went to look at the plant again, only to find that it was not only alive, but also blooming, exactly like the dream I had constructed. ”

I laughed and said, "This is a bit unreasonable, did you find that you have other spiritual powers, such as dead wood and spring?" ”

She looked at me seriously and said, "Before, I always thought that I predicted the future through dreams, but only then did I realize that what I had was not to predict the future, but to create the future. ”

In other words, it is not she who perceives the future through her dreams, but she creates the future in her dreams.

Dreams can change reality.

She continued: "Actually, when Taishou asked me to build the Taiping Army to attack the city, I only built it until the moment the military report was delivered, because it said that no one survived, and I ended the construction of the dream. And then my playmate, who grew up with me, came over and smiled and asked me to show her the dream battlefield, and we went to the battlefield and found that it was all dead, and the playmate jokingly said that it would be possible to revive one of the soldiers and let us feel the excitement of the battlefield. And on a whim, I built a soldier who didn't die, slashed at me, and then built a knife on the ground, which automatically flew into the soldier's heart. This was originally a fool of us and our playmates in our dreams, but I didn't expect it to happen in the real world. ”

It was this bizarre thing that could only happen in a dream, but I didn't expect it to be brought into reality.

She took my hand and said, "The moment the inference was verified, I felt terrified and realized that I was not predicting the future, but probably making it. The things in the dream were brought into reality by me. And I also brought the fear of reality into my dreams. I feel like my murderer was someone I killed in my dream. I felt pain, I felt fear, my playmate comforted me all the time, and I later learned that it was then that I had transmitted my fear and pain to her. ”

Her fingers kept shaking as she said this, and it was a painful memory.

She continued, "When I realized that dreams could change reality, I refused to build dreams for Taishou, who was angry and beat me up, but I didn't want to hurt anyone anymore. Soon the city was breached, and I became a prisoner of the Taipings. The Taiping Army was originally composed of poor people, and the leader Zhang Jiao had immortal skills, which was quite popular with the people. And I have long hated the Han family and the decay of the imperial court. Zhang Jiao persuaded me to predict the future for them. I was reluctant at first, but when I saw the poor people kneeling outside the house begging me, my heart relented. Taiping Dao wanted to build a peaceful world, and I was moved by what they said and began to predict the future for them. Become the goddess of their hearts. ”

It turned out that her identity and finally became the goddess of Taiping Dao, her status is not low, no wonder "Taiping Technique" will be placed by her side in the end.

She then looked at me and said, "But then I found out that there is no difference between the Taiping Dao and the Han family, and they only want to rule this world. The leader, Zhang Jiao, also bewitched by power, began to search for the secrets of antiquity. ”

I hurriedly asked, "What secret?" ”

"Hidden Ground!"
