Chapter 12 Dreams and Divination

The more you deliberately avoid some questions, the more it will remind you from moment to moment, so that you have nowhere to hide, even in your dreams, it will still haunt you.

The time on the phone screen was stuck at 06:30 and I woke up from the dream again.

It's been four days since my last trip to the beach, and the same dream is repeating itself in my mind four times.

In this dream, the city is still the same city, and every street I am familiar with is exactly the same, but the whole world seems to have fallen into the abyss, and it is dark.

There was no one else in the city, only me and Qingyan ran helplessly hand in hand through the streets, as if there was an invisible horror behind us that was always approaching, no matter how to escape, no matter how to hide, we couldn't get rid of it.

I just took Light Face's hand and ran until I was too heavy to move.

I looked back in despair, but I couldn't see anything, but I knew something terrible was approaching.

The palm of the light face in the palm of my hand was cold, and I held it very tightly, but I couldn't bring a trace of warmth to the light face.

I turned my head to look at Qingyan, who also looked up at me.

It was obviously the same face, but I felt extremely unfamiliar, but I clearly knew that this was a light face, and this complex emotion was really painful.

Smile lightly at me, gently break away from my palm, and slowly straighten up, walking towards the invisible horror.

I opened my mouth and shouted, struggling desperately to move my steps, but I couldn't make any sound or take a single step forward until my light face slowly dissipated like smoke.

I hugged my head and cried, but there was still no sound, and it was not until I woke up that I realized that tears were sliding down my face.

The whole dream was like a silent movie, I ran silently with my face, then silently separated, and finally I was left alone to cry silently.

I stared at the ceiling silently in a daze, the dream was repeated again and again, the breath of despair increased again and again, like a labyrinth that could not be escaped, the longer I was trapped, the more desperate I became, I didn't know how long I would be trapped in such a labyrinth, I was afraid that the scene in the dream would really appear, and I was even more afraid that the light face would leave me.

As the minutes ticked by, I had to force myself to wake up from my dreams, and the new day was going on, and I didn't want me to bring any distress to Qingyan.

By the time my phone rang, I had adjusted my mood and I was confident that I wouldn't show anything out of the ordinary.

The call was light, which I expected, but the content of the call was something I didn't expect.

"Ah Lan ......" The light tone was a little hesitant.

I couldn't help but feel nervous, for me now, any movement would make me nervous, let alone a frivolous emotional change.

I cautiously asked, "What's wrong?" Ah Yan? ”

Qingyan said: "There is something going on today, so I can't meet you." ”

I frowned, "What's the matter?" Does it matter? ”

Qingyan smiled on the phone, and said in that tone that I felt a little nervous about, "It doesn't matter! But it's just that I can't avoid it, and it's a little annoying. Don't worry, I can handle it myself. ”

I was relieved by the light face, but I couldn't be relieved at all, and I unconsciously thought of the invisible existence in my dream.

"Do you want my help?"

"No, I can fix it. Tomorrow, tomorrow I'll go to you. ”

I frowned, but I didn't know what to do, because I was afraid that Light Yan would find something out of this, so I could only sigh in my heart, and said in my voice without revealing anything unusual: "Okay, see you tomorrow." ”

"Well, see you tomorrow!"

I hung up the phone, and I won't meet with Qingyan today, so I can let go of my pretended calm.

I lay on my bed with a frown, and the irritability in my heart grew worse and worse, so I decided to go out for a walk.

Locking the doors and windows, I walked aimlessly down the street, the weather was cloudy today, the sun was covered by heavy clouds, and the weather was a little cooler.

It's just a little bit of coolness, but it can't extinguish the irritability in my heart, every traffic light on the street, every building reminds me of the escape in my dreams, compared to the dream, there are just a few more pedestrians, and these passers-by are insignificant in my eyes.

As I walked on the street step by step, a thought suddenly came to my mind.

I remember that there seems to be a Taoist temple in the west of the city, maybe I should go there and take a walk.

I don't have much faith, and I am still a little in awe of traditional Chinese Taoism, and now I only hope that this Taoist temple can give me some psychological comfort.

The scale of the Taoist temple is not large, and there are not many pedestrians, but looking at the blue bricks and blue tiles of the Taoist temple, it also has a bit of antique feeling.

Or maybe it's an illusion, as soon as I stepped into the door of the Taoist temple, I felt a lot calmer, and this feeling of blessing to my soul made me look forward to it a little more, maybe I could really meet some of the answers I wanted.

I crossed the front yard of the Taoist temple and came to the main hall in the middle, because I did not understand the etiquette rules of Taoism, for fear of doing the wrong etiquette, so I learned from the other guests, and simply made a gesture to the statue enshrined in front of me, and silently prayed in my heart for a moment of inner distress.

Alas, nothing happened.

Maybe because I'm not a believer, so I can't get the Taoist sages, or maybe there is no immortal virtue in the world, in short, I don't feel anything, the guests next to me are ordinary people, and the Taoist priests in the temple I met can't see any fairy wind bones.

I hid the disappointment in my heart, but my face couldn't help but show a little sadness, and in the end I had to put on two pillars of incense and turn around and go out of the Taoist temple.

After leaving the gate, I continued to walk west, and after a few steps, I saw a small stall around the corner, with some small things like incense sachets and ornaments, and I even saw a stack of yellow paper charms, and a young man sitting behind the stall.

I looked around and found that there was only one stall nearby, and I couldn't help but feel a little strange, can I sell these things by setting up a stall outside the Taoist temple? What's more, the stall owner is still a young man in casual clothes and headphones on his ears, so it's even stranger that he can sell it.

At this time, there were fewer pedestrians, and there was not a single customer in front of the stall, so I stopped out of curiosity for a while, stopped and looked at it a few times, but I didn't expect the young stall owner to react so sensitively, and immediately raised his head to look at me.

The young man seemed to be stunned for a moment when he saw me looking at his stall, then his expression was solemn, his back straightened a little, and then he picked up a fallen bamboo pole from his back, on which hung a square silk cloth, and there was only one word "ask" on the cloth.

I was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to react, so I was speechless with the young man.
