Chapter 2: Hell

The content of dreams is not limited by reality, so it is usually strange and inexplicable.

Fang Yue's dream about this world, the first half, or most of the content, is very ordinary, that is, he incarnated as an ancient scholar and worked hard for the imperial examination.

However, on the last night, the night before he crossed over to this dream world, the lengthy dream suddenly changed in style and became strange and terrifying.

Under normal circumstances, this would be an absurd nightmare.

However, now that Fang Yue has crossed over into this dream and become a scholar in the dream, will the terrifying content that he dreamed of on the last night really happen?

Thinking of the content of the nightmare part, Fang Yue felt a little chill in his heart.

Although the dreams of the last night were chaotic and fragmented, the images were all fleeting, as if watching the lights, very different from the dreams that had been so clear as if they were immersed in the previous nights.

Fang Yue didn't write down much of the specific content, but Fang Yue would never remember the absurdity, weirdness, and bloody horror in it.

"If the dream of the last night also comes true, then this world is not a paradise at all, but a terrible hell."

Fang Yue's face was ugly, and his fingers holding the wine glass trembled slightly.

"Okay, the white girl plays so well."

"The white girl's piano skills are unparalleled, and this song "Mountain Stream and Flowing Water" is deeply samadhi."

There was a burst of applause, but it turned out that Bai Yao had finished playing a song.

Bai Yao smiled reservedly, her autumn-like eyes swept over the faces of the scholars, observing their expressions, and finally stopped on Fang Yue's face.

"Fang Gongzi, Fang Gongzi."

Fang Yue raised his head and said, "What's the matter with the white girl?" ”

Bai Yao said angrily: "Young Master Fang, you are distracted again. ”

Fang Yue sighed softly, drank all the residual wine in the cup, and said, "If you think of some troubles, you can be happy, don't worry about me." ”

Ren Junlin shook his head and said, "Fang Yue, I didn't say you, what else do you want to worry about when you come to this place." Forget everything now. In life, you should have fun in time. ”

"Just in time?" The corners of Fang Yue's mouth outlined a wry smile, if the nightmare came true, judging from the content of the dream in his memory, it should happen soon, there was not much time left, where would he have the time and mind to have fun in time.

But how could he, an ordinary person, survive when the nightmare came true?

"The ghosts, monsters, demons and villains who create horror and blood in nightmares should have existed in this world, but in this world, I can live safely from a young age to the present, although I have heard of it for more than 20 years, but I have never seen any appalling strange things with my own eyes, then they are either sealed and have not yet been born, or there is extraordinary power against them in this world.

It's just that those who have extraordinary powers, where can I find them, and whether those who are outside the world are willing to deal with an ordinary person like me is also a question. ”

Fang Yue's brows furrowed slightly.

"However, I am also an ordinary person in the dream, how did I survive?"

You must know that the entire dream, including the nightmare on the last night, Fang Yue experienced and witnessed it as Fang Xiucai in his dreams, and the weird and terrifying events in those nightmares all happened on or around Fang Yue, and since Fang Yue could experience them all, it meant that he lived to the end in his dreams.

"I remembered, I relied on a jade pendant in my dream."

A look of surprise appeared on Fang Yue's face, and he felt a glimmer of dawn suddenly emerge from the darkness, which was the dawn of hope, the hope of living.

"By the way, Jade Pendant, what about Jade Pendant?"

Fang Yue's face changed again, he remembered that he had a jade pendant on his body, and he couldn't remember where it came from.

Of course, this is not the key, the key is that just today, before he came to Zuihualou, he was worried that he would not have enough money on his body, so he lost face and gave the jade pendant to the pawnshop.

"What jade pendant?"

Ren Junlin, who was beside Fang Yue, heard him muttering the jade pendant in his mouth, and asked curiously.

Fang Yuehuo got up from his seat, took out a small piece of silver from his body and threw it on the table, "I'm in a hurry to leave in advance, and I paid for my share of wine first." ”

With that, he hurried out, leaving the few people in the room looking at each other.

……

The twilight is dark, and the night is getting darker.

Fang Yue trotted all the way, panting and rushed to the "Fenghe Pawnshop" on East Street, but what he saw was the closed wooden gate of the pawnshop.

Although he knew that the pawnshop had already closed at this time, and it was impossible for him to be still open at such a late hour, he hurriedly came out of the Qinglou with the hope of being in case and ran all the way here, Fang Yue was still slightly disappointed in his heart.

"I can only wait for the pawnshop to open tomorrow, and then redeem the jade pendant."

Fang Yue was anxious, but he was helpless, Yu Pei was now a lifesaver for him, he was afraid that there would be another accident.

Unable to redeem the jade pendant immediately, Fang Yue could only turn around and walk back in the direction of the inn where he lived.

At this moment, it was already night, and the street was quiet, except for Fang Yue, there was no other passerby.

It was dark all around, but fortunately the moon was still bright tonight, hanging high in the eastern sky, and although the moonlight cast down was hazy, it could barely make the people on the ground barely see.

A gust of wind blew, Fang Yue's body was slightly sweaty because of the trotting all the way, and he felt a little cold when he was blown by the wind, and he couldn't help but tighten his hand on the long shirt on his body.

After walking for a while, Fang Yue saw someone holding a lantern in front of the road, walking towards this side from a distance.

The man seemed to be calling someone, but he was too far away to hear whose name he was calling, only the intermittent sound of his calling in the evening breeze.

"It's so late, who are you looking for?"

Fang Yue thought in his heart, but he didn't care too much.

Getting closer, by the moonlight, Fang Yue could barely see that the person opposite was holding a white lantern, and there was a big black font on the left side of the white lantern.

"The white lantern and the black letter, a little unlucky, and the black letter, why is it so similar to 'Dian', holding such a lantern in the dark night to find someone, this is trying to scary people, right?"

Another gust of night wind blew, and Fang Yue felt the coldness around him even thicker.

Seeing the person holding the white lantern in front of him getting closer and closer, Fang Yue somehow became a little nervous in his heart.

"Xiao Wan, Xiao Wan."

Holding the white lantern was a hunched white-haired old man, shouting the name and hobbling along.

"Husband."

Fang Yue saw him walk in front of him and shouted out to the old man.

Unexpectedly, the old man still staggered forward as if he hadn't seen Fang Yue, seeing that he was about to bump into Fang Yue, and he didn't know how to avoid it.

Fang Yue had to take the initiative to get out of the way and watch him walk over.

"Whose old man is this, why are you still outside so late?"

Fang Yue's brows furrowed, he just wanted to catch up and ask him if he wanted to help, after all, it was very unsafe for an old man to be outside at night, this was the ancient world, not the modern world.

However, as soon as he took a step, Fang Yue somehow felt a little uneasy in his heart, and finally didn't catch up, watching the old man staggering away, and his figure disappeared around the corner of the intersection.

When he passed by just now, Fang Yue had already seen that the black letter on the white lantern was indeed a big word "lay", and the clothes worn by the old man, if Fang Yue did not admit his mistake, were very similar to the shroud worn by ordinary old people when they passed away.
