Chapter 24: Nightmare
"Demons!"
"Butcher!"
"Rebellion!"
"Go to hell!"
With such curses, garbage, clods of dirt, and even stones were thrown at him from all sides, and he was half-kneeling in the narrow prison cart, but he was powerless to dodge, and he had no desire to dodge.
It's all over.
In just a few years, he has changed from a hegemon across the Central Plains to a prisoner on the streets of Chang'an, which seems to him to be incredible.
How could it be defeated?
He still can't understand it.
When the army was at its strongest, no one in the Central Plains dared to stop his progress, even the despicable villain Zhu Wen, who immediately turned his head and annexed the territory of his allies after defeating him with intrigue and trickery today, was just a martial artist trembling in front of his army.
"What else do you have to say?" An arrogant voice asked in front of him.
It was a thin old man, and he knew that this person was Jingzhao Yin Sunkui.
Incompetent.
What is there to say?
It's just a king and a loser, a group of mediocre people, how long can you live in this troubled world?
"I wanted to help Datang, but it didn't ...... at all," he said with a sneer.
Sun Kuo shouted: "Someone! Gagged him! ”
He was dragged out of the prison cart, and a warlock came over to carefully examine the restraints on him, then nodded.
Sun Kuai began to say something to the crowd around him, but he had no intention of listening, he looked up at the big willow tree with a slim canopy, and laughed slightly.
The executioner fastened the tough leather belt to his limbs and neck, repeatedly checking the strength of the ropes.
Is the car cracked?
In this way, it is also worthy of those who were killed.
The rope suddenly tightened, and a sharp pain followed.
……
Sun Yang woke up from a nightmare again, and the dream was so real, it was like experiencing another person's life, which made him sweat profusely.
Why?
Since his initiation, he has rarely dreamed. This may be because he rarely sleeps and mostly meditates at pranayama, but the few times he sleeps is until dawn, and it is rare for him to have nightmares as soon as he closes his eyes, as he does now.
He didn't remember much about the dream, he just felt extremely familiar and unfamiliar.
Why?
Was it the illusion attack of the meat mushroom that caused some after-effects on his body?
Do you want to find it out? Or is it to ask Long Qingting for help?
He shook his head.
A voice seemed to tell him that he should take care of it all on his own.
He sat up from his bed, and it was already getting light, so he simply got up, went to his greenhouse to pick a few fresh vegetables, and went to the chicken coop in the back to touch a few eggs, and went into the kitchen to start a hearty breakfast.
Father and mother got up at about six o'clock, sniffed breakfast and came to the kitchen, and asked in surprise, "The sun is coming out in the west?" ”
"Can't I make you breakfast?" Sun Yang said helplessly.
The parents seem to be completely accustomed to this isolated life, they rarely ask about the things Sun Yang does, every day is busy in the greenhouse, flower house and chicken coop and sheep coop around the house, the biggest pleasure is to invite relatives and friends to the house to taste the vegetables they grow and the chickens and sheep they raise, this kind of life seems to be happy, but Sun Yang knows very well that that incident has become a scar in their hearts that can never be erased, but they carefully cover it up.
When he drove out, he always felt the worried and concerned eyes of his parents, who actually wanted him to let go and never do those things related to monasticism again, but he had already entered this world, how could he leave as he pleased?
The family had a breakfast with a smile, and Sun Yang helped his mother busy in the flower room for a while, and then drove to Yuanshan University.
Drive the ghosts to clean up, pack up things, put all kinds of utensils and supplies in place, and then open the shop, the cookie-cutter life is sweet for Sun Yang, the morning sun slanted into the store, illuminating those flowers and plants, making them thrive, this quiet atmosphere makes Sun Yang feel very satisfied.
But......
The door was pushed open, and the figure he didn't want to see at all sneaked in and ran to the counter with a shy face.
"Master...... Are you so early today? ”
"Big brother~ I don't have an apprentice like you, nor is I your master, please don't come to pester me."
"But master, you obviously promised me that day~" The fat man said with a bitter face.
"If it weren't for you kneeling at my door......" Sun Yang felt his heart congested, how could there be such a shameless person?
"Master, you can just teach me a trick and a half ......"
"I don't know anything myself, how to be your master, please, I really ......"
While the two were talking, the door opened again, and Li Li walked in: "Oh~ Fatty, are you here to apprentice again?" ”
"It's not a teacher, I've already worshipped, and today I'm here to let the master see my sincerity......"
Sun Yang felt like there were countless flies flying around in his head, he shook his head, walked to the row of bookshelves behind the counter, and casually pulled out a book from the middle.
"The Yellow Emperor's Yin Fu Sutra" ...... This was one of the first Taoist scriptures that Master Lu gave him back then.
"Master?"
"You take this book back and read it yourself, don't ask me if you don't understand it, figure it out for yourself, and come to me when you understand."
"This is the secret of this gate?" The fat man suddenly became excited. He cautiously opened the book and saw the dense annotations inside, and became more and more excited.
"Which one?" Li Li came over. "This one? I just want to sleep......"
"This is a test of your understanding, if you can get something, it means that you have a relationship with Taoism, and I will consider whether to accept you or not. If you can't read or can't read like her, it means that you don't have enough understanding, so it's better to give up as soon as possible! ”
"Master, you won't be deliberately ......"
"That's how I got started, believe it or not."
"Master, don't worry! I certainly don't have to say anything about my understanding! Then you're busy, I'll go first! ”
Looking at him as if he had won a treasure, Sun Yang felt a little guilty in his heart, but he really couldn't stand this guy's entanglement.
The fat man hurriedly opened the door, just as Lu Xiaoling came in.
"Master, are you here? I'll go first! ”
"What's wrong with him?" Lu Xiaoling asked in surprise.
"Sun Yang gave him a book, and he took it back as a secret to study." Li Li said.
"You're not going to look for a job yet?" Sun Yang asked.
"It's too difficult for us to get a job in this major!" Li Li complained casually. "What's the matter, I help you attract so many customers every month, you think I'm overpaid?"
"How so? I'm just asking. Sun Yang hurriedly said.
"Anyway, you opened this store as a pretense, otherwise, you can sell some shares to me and let me and Xiaoling be the bosses." Li Li said. "By the way, you can also change this ugly name......"
Sun Yang felt the second fly start flying in front of him again, and his head involuntarily hurt again.
"What? Having that nightmare again? Lu Xiaoling asked with concern.
Sun Yang nodded and shook his head again.
"Did you research something about that book?" He asked Lu Xiaoling.
He was referring to the ancient book brought out from the tomb where he had obtained the Buddha's bone relics, and those on it were also dizzy for him, so he simply handed it over to Lu Xiaoling, who studied history, to study.
"I didn't see anything useful...... It's all very scattered personal notes and stuff. ”
"That'...... Have you figured out who he is? Why are those two Buddha bone relics in his grave? ”
"I'm still checking the information, but the deceased should be Sun Kui, a Tang Dynasty official who has been on the "Biography of the Ancient Sage Statue", so there should be no problem with this."
"It's really him." Sun Yang said.
The blind girl pointed him to Luoyi to find what he needed, and it was really not a mess. Maybe she could help him find the thing that escaped from Heihezi?
But he vaguely felt something strange, the name he seemed to have heard elsewhere, and he felt very uncomfortable.
