Chapter 11: Nightmares

"Crackling! Cracking sound! Boom! ”

Zhang Xiaofan covered his ears and finished setting off the firecrackers, and did not pretend to cut the ribbon, and asked the workers to hang a plaque directly, which read: Iron mouth God Calculation.

There are also two wooden plaques on the left and right: the upper knows astronomy and geography, and the lower knows the blessing and misfortune, which is the upgraded version of Zhang Xiaofan's previous two flags.

In recent years, how many people use LED signs? No feature at all! Zhang Xiaofan, as a Taoist heir (fake), must use Chinese style for the signboard! Otherwise, how can customers trust you?

This shop is located in a very popular area, although it is not in the city center, but there are a lot of people coming and going, which is much better than Zhang Xiaofan squatting in the community and park.

After eating breakfast with Chen Yating and Xiaoliang, he sat at his desk and waited for the customer to come to the door.

The store is about 100 square meters, and in addition to the hall of the work area, there are also three rooms, which are the rooms of Zhang Xiaofan, Chen Yating and Xiaoliang. Under the guidance of the folk Taoist association, it is antique; As soon as you enter the door, it is a pure wood entrance, carved with a dragon and a flying phoenix, and the carvings of different shades are very vivid under the light.

On the left and right sides of the hall, there are statues of gods from all walks of life, and the walls are painted with various ghosts and monsters in the Classic of Mountains and Seas; On the incense table in the center behind Zhang Xiaofan's desk, the painting hanging is the Sanqing Patriarch, and there is a plaque on it, which reads: Haoran Righteousness.

In such a high-end and high-grade place, Zhang Xiaofan actually sat a little uneasy, after all, he was not a real Taoist disciple, and sometimes he felt that Sanqing, who was hanging behind him, seemed to be staring at him all the time.

Even if Zhang Xiaofan opened a store, he didn't shout the price indiscriminately, basically depending on the clothes and dress, and there were more than 1,000 in a day; Don't forget, in addition to water and electricity bills and taxes, Zhang Xiaofan is basically equivalent to an empty glove white wolf, after all, the full owner of this store is himself! This money is much better than setting up a stall before!

The day passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was already eight o'clock. Zhang Xiaofan asked Chen Yating to pull down the door of the store and call for takeout by himself.

After a sports car stopped suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps from outside, and Chen Yating shouted: "Guests are coming, Xiaofan picks up guests!" ”

"Why, I look like I'm out for sale?" Zhang Xiaofan twitched the corners of his mouth and put the phone down.

An obese man wearing a brand-name suit of more than 300,000 yuan and leading a world-limited high-end customized mobile phone ran to Zhang Xiaofan, glaring at him and panting: "You! Are you Master Zhang? ”

Zhang Xiaofan swallowed his saliva, big business came to the door! He nodded hurriedly: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, my name is Zhang Xiaofan, just call me by my name!" ”

Seeing a man dressed so amazingly, Zhang Xiaofan couldn't help but use 'you'.

"Master Zhang, save my daughter! I spent more than a million dollars to see a doctor, and the doctors said that my daughter was normal, but she has been in a coma for more than a week! Now they all make a living on drips! The fat man looked embarrassed: "It's not that I'm superstitious, I really think my daughter is evil!" ”

Zhang Xiaofan played with the blood jade in his hand, turned his head and communicated with Xiao Liang: "Xiao Liang, what do you think?" ”

"What do you think? Look with your eyes! Xiaoliang climbed onto Zhang Xiaofan's head: "Let's go!" Saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter! ”

A shout came from the door: "Zhang Xiaofan! Zhang Xiaofan! Is it your takeaway here? ”

"Yes, yes, yes! It's me here! Zhang Xiaofan took the takeaway, paid the money, and said to the obese man: "Let's go, let's go to your house first, it's hard to make a conclusion for the time being." ”

The takeaway was two mutton rolls and a cup of black tea, and Zhang Xiaofan solved it in a few bites, and the fat man was dumbfounded.

Sitting in the obese man's sports car, Zhang Xiaofan learned some basic information.

The obese man's real name is Li Yi, and his daughter's name is Li Bao'er; A year ago, Li Yi's spouse died of illness, and Li Baoer was addicted to novels from that time and often chattered. A week ago, after she said a word to Li Yi, she has been in a coma until now, she said: I want to find my mother, she is in another country!

Li Yi's house is located in the Yishan villa area, although it is not the most luxurious one, but it is worth more than 20 million, which can really be described as rich.

After entering the door, without waiting for Zhang Xiaofan to visit alone, Li Yi led Zhang Xiaofan directly into Li Baoer's boudoir.

An emaciated woman was lying on the bed with a frown, glucose injections ticking beside her; Sometimes she laughed quietly, sometimes silently wept, and her youthful face, which was about eighteen years old, showed sorrow that did not belong to her.

Zhang Xiaofan looked down at a purple gray mist enveloping Li Bao'er, and didn't have any thoughts for a while, so he asked Xiaoliang: "What's the matter, do you see anything?" ”

Xiao Liang shook his head, indicating that he had never seen a similar situation in "Strange Things of the Underworld".

However, Chen Yating raised her hand like a little girl in school and wanted to speak, Zhang Xiaofan nodded, and asked Chen Yating to say her opinion: "Look at this symptom, and this purple gray fog, I think it may be a nightmare!" ”

"Nightmare?" Zhang Xiaofan has only seen it in novels, and it is a species like a unicorn, but the unicorn is snow-white and the nightmare is black.

Xiao Liang opened his mouth and said: "It's not like in movies, television, and novels, nightmares have no body, and they are almost soul bodies like our ghosts." I heard that it seems to be a demigod in charge of dreams, with divine and demonic natures, both good and evil. ”

"But why is it a demigod, tossing a mortal?" Zhang Xiaofan couldn't figure it out.

"It also sometimes inhabits human bodies, stimulating humans to create dreams and then eat them!" Chen Yating said: "The dream is its food, after all, it is not a real ghost, it is not protected by incense, it is not protected by rules, and it can only find food." ”

Xiao Liang pointed to the peachwood sword on Zhang Xiaofan's back and said, "If you pull out the sword spirit and cut it, you won't hurt this girl!" ”

Zhang Xiaofan hesitated, the peach wood sword might be able to save this girl, if he accidentally cut deep, he didn't know if he would kill someone, he didn't have a score.

After waiting by the side for a long time, Li Yi finally couldn't help but speak: "What?" Master Zhang? Is there a way?"

"You wait a minute!" Zhang Xiaofan pulled out the peachwood sword and said to the peachwood sword: "Brother, give me some face, can the sword spirit come out?" Remember to help me watch the dots so I don't hurt the girl. ”

The peachwood sword shook for a while and fell to the ground, but there was an identical peachwood sword in Zhang Xiaofan's hand, but it looked a little illusory.

Zhang Xiaofan slashed at the purple gray mist, and the purple gray mist let out a sharp scream.

The huge coercion enveloped everyone present, and in an instant, Xiao Liang, Chen Yating, and the Peachwood Sword Spirit disappeared, and Zhang Xiaofan and Li Yi fainted to the ground, and their bodies were also surrounded by purple gray mist

"Young master, young lady, wake up! It's time for lunch. A maid shouted outside the door.

Zhang Xiaofan rubbed his eyes and yawned, and suddenly realized that he was poor, how could someone call him young master? Who is the young lady?

"Well, don't scream, I'll sleep for a while~~~" Chen Yating lazily hugged the pillow and muttered!! When did I get married to Yating Chen? Zhang Xiaofan glanced at the huge room full of European medieval style, and said to himself in a daze: "I'm a god!" When I wake up, I'm rich? ”

Wrong wrong! What am I doing before I fall asleep? That's right! I slashed the nightmare, and then it was

"Father!" There was another shout outside the door, and a three- or four-year-old child pushed open the door and rushed in: "Father, why don't you get up yet?" Grandpa is about to lift the table! ”

"Xiaoliang? What are you calling my father for, it's disgusting! ”

Zhang Xiaofan looked at Xiaoliang in front of him and seemed a little strange, he was still wearing the clothes of European nobles, and he was still wearing pants amazingly, so Zhang Xiaofan pinched his face, it was warm! Under the constant pinching, I feel that Xiao Liang is no longer a ghost, but a fleshy, real human child.

"Father" Xiao Liang was about to cry aggrieved.

"Fan, don't tease your son when you get up, you see he's about to cry!"

Chen Yating didn't know when she let go of the pillow, leaned on the side of the bed, and said to Xiao Liang with a hint of aristocratic atmosphere: "Liang'er, come here!" Mother hug you! ”

Xiao Liang walked to the side of the bed and curled up obediently beside Chen Yating's legs;

Chen Yating stroked Xiaoliang's head for a while, and said to him: "You go out and talk to the head of the family first, and I will be there right away after your father and I change clothes." ”

The little bright spot nodded and ran away quickly.

If it weren't for the fact that he still remembered his previous memories and saw such a warm scene, Zhang Xiaofan almost believed that this was a real world.

Zhang Xiaofan pinned the peachwood sword spirit to his waist and put on a set of awkward aristocratic costumes, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: The nightmare is really powerful, and he actually built such an exquisite dream world!

But what Zhang Xiaofan doesn't know is that this dream world is not built by nightmares, but Li Baoer;

This is thanks to the results of Li Bao'er's addiction to novels for a year, and her mind is full of some fanciful things, and because of this, the nightmare resides in her body, constantly stimulating her to perfect the dream world, and when it is completely constructed, the nightmare will eat the dream, and everyone in this dream will die.

Chen Yating's hand was playing with her back, and it was difficult to tie the long skirt of the noble, so she said to Zhang Xiaofan: "Fan, it's hard to get the tie behind me, can you help me?" ”

Zhang Xiaofan thought carefully, said 'um', and wrapped his hand around Chen Yating's thin waist.

"Yikes! What are you doing? Chen Yating's body trembled, and her fair complexion was dyed red, all the way from her neck to the root of her ears.

Zhang Xiaofan touched Chen Yating's smooth abdomen, and blew behind her ear: "Old husband and wife, what do you say I do?" ”

Chen Yating was obviously not used to such intimacy, and said shyly: "Don't be like this, the head of the family is still waiting for us to eat outside!" ”

Zhang Xiaofan thought about it too, and said: "Oh, then touch more!" ”

"Hmm~" Chen Yating's voice was as thin as a mosquito.

Under the leadership of his subordinates, Zhang Xiaofan led Chen Yating through the long corridor to the dining table, and as soon as he sat down, he saw Li Yi with a tense face in the master's seat.

"Are you not taking me seriously? I have worked hard to educate you to be an elegant nobleman, you are good, you mix in the casino every day, you are like this, how can you inherit my title in the future? ”

After Zhang Xiaofan sat down, Li Yi lost his temper, the fat on his body was shaking, and he roared loudly: "It's time to eat, this kind of important moment in life, you still have to send someone to invite you over!" ”

"I don't want to inherit your title" Zhang Xiaofan waved his hand and said, but he thought in his heart: I just want to help your daughter return to the real world and hold your RMB with peace of mind.

"Dare to talk back! Hum! Okay, since you don't want to inherit, I'll give you a thousand gold coins, and you take your family and go out to earn a living by yourself! Li Yi asked his subordinates to clean up some soft and give it to Zhang Xiaofan, and directly blasted him out of the palatial house.

"Father, are we homeless?" Xiao Liang had tears in his eyes.

Zhang Xiaofan laughed: "What nonsense, dreams always have to wake up!" ”

Chen Yating wanted to persuade Zhang Xiaofan, because 'she' was used to the life of a rich and noble family: "Fan, if we don't beg the head of the family again, maybe he will be soft-hearted."

"Hey! I can't stand the current situation, wake up!! Zhang Xiaofan took out the peachwood sword spirit from his waist and slapped it on the heads of Chen Yating and Xiaoliang; He had already roughly guessed that the reason why he kept his memory was because the peachwood sword spirit slashed the nightmare, and the nightmare aura on the peachwood sword could shield people from the influence of the nightmare, so that he could recover his memory.

"Damn! Who hit me! "Ahh It hurts! Xiao Liang and Chen Yating cried out at the same time.

Zhang Xiaofan looked at the two with a smile: "Are you awake?" ”

"The memories of reality returned, and they were ashamed of the false memories in their dreams, and they both fell silent.

Zhang Xiaofan teased: "Xiaoliang, call my father again to listen." ”

As if stepping on the cat's tail, Xiao Liang looked excited, and immediately said, "Why don't you die!" ”

Chen Yating quickly returned to normal, leaving behind those embarrassing memories, she opened her mouth and asked, "Why don't you restore Li Yi's memory?" ”

Zhang Xiaofan said lazily: "Trouble! When he sees the three of us so close, he will probably think about it, and I don't want to explain it for a long time. ”

"That's right! In reality he can't see us, and now that we're all in a dream, he sees us, which is really hard to explain. Chen Yating suddenly realized, but she was confused again: "Then what should we do next?" ”

Xiaoliang and Zhang Xiaofan said firmly at the same time: "Find Li Bao'er!" Let her come out of her dreams! ”
