Chapter 178: The Abyss
The witch found that the entire Taiping army had gone out of control, and their leader Zhang Jiao had also become obsessed with the hidden land, and even exposed his essence in the dream, greedy for wealth and nobility, and the so-called Taiping world was nothing but an empty dream.
On the pretext of stopping the war, the playmate persuaded the witch to sneak into Zhang Jiao's dream and strangle him in the dream.
But she said that she didn't expect her playmate to let her do it, but she had another purpose.
What purpose?
It occurred to me that I was, right?
With a crying voice, the shrine maiden continued, "I have successfully infiltrated Zhang Jiao's dream again. I was originally a dreamer, and I could construct dreams, and I could do anything in dreams, and I successfully killed Zhang Jiao. Zhang Jiao in reality can only become a living dead and will never wake up. When I returned to my dream, I found that my playmate was gone. I noticed the anomaly, but it was too late, she had already left the dream and returned to reality in my place. I thought she couldn't never go to sleep and that one day, she would go back to dreaming again. It's just that she didn't expect that she had already thought it through, and injected me and my spiritual power into the meteorite and sealed it inside. ”
I was blown away.
The shrine maiden continued, "She must have started planning when I discovered that dreams do not predict the future, but change the future. She knew the strange things in the dream, and she was brought to reality, and she also thought that she must be brought to reality as well. Therefore, she instigated me to explore the secrets of my dreams, and I told her everything I knew without reservation. So, she began to encourage me to go to other people's dreams, and while I was away, she used everything I taught her to start experimenting with whether I could achieve my goal and go to reality. When she instructed me to kill Zhang Jiao in his dream, she finally succeeded in replacing me, came to the real world, and injected me into the meteorite according to the plan, so that she could permanently occupy my body and live in the world instead of me. ”
I looked at the tears on her face, and couldn't help but wipe her with my sleeve and persuade her, "Don't be sad. It is estimated that after she went to reality, she did not get a good result, and the Taiping Army found that Zhang Jiao was killed in a dream, so they naturally suspected that it was the goddess who did it, and she must have been punished and killed later. ”
Confused, she asked, "She died later?" ”
I nodded, for I saw that the female ghost, like the witch, had not grown old, proving that in reality, she might not have been executed in a short time.
I continued to comfort: "Now that she has become a female ghost, I am a Taoist priest, and I will definitely find a way to get rid of her and avenge you." ”
She shook her head and said, "After such a long time, I don't hold a grudge against her, she was originally a demon I created, and I got this result only to blame." ”
Then she regained her looks, regained her spirit, took my hand, and said, "You are such a good person, continue to accompany me on this dream." ”
Then she asked me a lot more about what the outside world had become after all these years.
She was relieved, but I felt that she still liked the outside world.
We became confidants, and I confided in her many things that I didn't dare to say outside.
Ever since I was involved in the Gen Order, there hasn't been a day when I haven't been scared and feel the dangers of the world. Only in this dream can I be myself again, and be that innocent little Taoist priest again.
I don't know how long it took, but I realized that I should go back, and in the real world, there are still female ghosts in Locust Tree Bay, waiting for me to destroy.
I asked, "How can I deal with that female ghost?" ”
She thought for a moment and said, "That female ghost was originally my body, and as a shrine maiden, I am most afraid of wormwood, because wormwood can pollute the aura. All you have to do is use wormwood to deal with her, and you can make her cultivation damaged. ”
She saw me ask, knowing that I was leaving, and then asked, "It's nice to know you, can I stay in your dreams?" ”
I think that meteorite is fundamentally competing with the warm current in my body, and leaving her here can only make me suffer.
However, if you can get the ancient scroll hidden in this dream painting by the ancestor, you will definitely be able to learn the illusion technique, as long as you use the illusion technique to make the female ghost fall back into her dream, you can find a way to make the witch regain her body.
Thinking of this, all the problems are solved.
I told the shrine maiden about my plan, and she was very excited to hear it, and said, "Then I will leave your body with the meteorite, and I will wait for you." ”
We returned to Daoist Bay, and I lay back in bed, ready to dream.
But she lay quietly beside me, hugged me gently, then put her arms around my neck, kissed me on the cheek.
I feel like I'm in the spring.
She pressed to my ear and said, "Say the spell quickly, I'm going to watch you leave, you have to come back early, I'll be waiting for you inside the meteorite." ”
I nodded, then recited the mantra and came back to reality.
Through the window, I saw that the sky outside had just dawned.
I felt something in my hand, and when I opened it, it turned out to be the meteorite, which had left my body.
There is no strength to fight in the body, and the whole person recovers.
At this time, I heard the sound of the master getting up, I hurriedly got up, and saw the master and the master uncle, packing their things and preparing to go to Huaishuwan.
When he saw me wake up, he was very surprised and asked, "Why did you get up so early, your body hasn't recovered yet, so you should rest more." ”
I spread my palms out, revealing the black meteorite.
The master and the master were both surprised, and said happily: "This thing has come out." ”
I nodded and said, "It came out, my body recovered, and in my dream, I knew how to deal with that female ghost in Huaishuwan." ”
Master, they were very excited, let me sit down and talk.
I was sitting down and recounting what I had just dreamed of, when suddenly, I heard a bell.
Who's shaking the bell?
I asked the master, "Did you hear the bell?" ”
The master and the master shook their heads and said, "You have just recovered, so you have auditory hallucinations. ”
Could it really be my auditory hallucinations?
I calmed down and listened closely, and the bell sounded again, and it became very urgent.
And this bell sound is a bit special, I seem to have heard it.
Think about it carefully, Zhao Xiaoxue.
When I was at the Cheongdam Reservoir in the past, I used to give her a bell and told her to call me back with a bell if there was any danger during my absence.
Could it be that something happened to Zhao Xiaoxue?
I hurried back to the room, but I couldn't find the piece of Jueyu that Zhao Xiaoxue was attached to.
The sound of the bell in my ears became more and more urgent, as if it was coming from outside.
I hurriedly opened the door and ran out, but the master and the others came out strangely and persuaded me, "Are you hallucinating?" We didn't hear any bells at all. ”
However, I heard this voice very clearly, as if it was not near the rice field, but still far away.
I looked around, trying to see if Zhao Xiaoxue was ringing the bell somewhere.
But after thinking about it carefully, it is daytime, and Zhao Xiaoxue is a ghost, how can it appear.
Maybe it's my auditory hallucinations.
They came with me, and while pulling me, they persuaded me to go back to the house and continue to rest.
The bell was still ringing rapidly, probably because my body had not recovered.
I was about to turn around and go back to the house, but I inadvertently glanced at the river below the rice field.
The river rushed from west to east.
I was stunned, looking at the master, and then at the master.
I saw that there were bamboo sticks on the edge of the rice field where we usually dried our clothes, so I took them off and stabbed them at the master with all my might.
I saw the master looking at me with surprise in his eyes, and the bamboo stick pierced the master's body.
He began to bleed, then slowly collapsed, scolding, "You unfilial apprentice. ”
The master next to me blushed with anger, and I hurriedly pulled out the bamboo stick in the master's body, and also stabbed the master to death.
Then, I followed the bell and ran that way.
Out of Daoist Bay, the bell is still in the distance, and the surroundings are full of tall trees.
Just now when I saw the river under the rice field, I understood.
Here, it's still a dream.
In reality, the river under the rice field flows from the gates of hell from east to west, a countercurrent.
When the master taught me the little wrench and taught me to enter the dream realm, he once warned me.
If the dream is too real, it will be impossible to distinguish between reality and dream, so something that goes against nature must be designed.
When Master Zu designed this dream, he used the river, so when I saw the river, I knew that I was still in the dream.
This is also why the shrine maiden has always been curious about me, probing me, and even conjuring up the appearance of the master, just so that she can construct a more realistic dream.
Because, she also wants to replace me and return to the real world.
I was really unprepared, I always thought that I was inquiring about the story of the witch, but I didn't expect that it was the witch who was inquiring about my reality.
A quote comes to mind: when you stare into the abyss, the abyss is staring at you.
And the shrine maiden is this abyss in front of her.
