Chapter 7: A Dream of Nanke

"Zuo Sheng! Zuo Sheng! He heard someone shouting in the black void, and he sat up sharply, crashing into a pair of worried eyes.

It turned out to be a dream. The heart hanging in the air suddenly fell back to its original place, he looked at Ye Shi who was sitting beside him, and a trance flashed in his eyes: Although it was a dream, why was the scene in the dream so real? It's as if you've experienced it yourself...... He shook his head vigorously, brushed away the terrible thought in his heart, and asked softly:

"You've been here with me all night?" Ye Shi shrugged disappreciatively:

"Don't worry about me. When I was a child, I practiced martial arts, and I could fall asleep in a tree. But you ......" she reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead, frowned and asked:

"Nightmares again?" Zuo Sheng nodded, saw Ye Shi's furrowed eyebrows, and smiled comfortingly:

"It's just a dream, out of the way." Ye Shi handed him a bowl of steaming porridge and asked uneasily:

"Dreams are magical. It can reveal both the elusive past and the unfathomable future. So, what did you dream about? ”

"There was a whole village of people who had been killed, and there was blood all over the place." Ye Shi pondered for a long time and said:

"Then you didn't appear in this dream?" Zuo Sheng's eyes were stained with a hint of confusion, and he muttered:

"I ...... I don't know. There was a slap on the shoulder, he blinked, and turned to Ye Shi, I don't know why.

"You are typical of thinking about the day and dreaming at night. There are too many homicide cases that I have been exposed to, and I will inevitably worry about them all the time. In addition, I was disturbed by what happened on the Shangyuan Festival in Qi State a few days ago, so I was naturally prone to nightmares. Zuo Sheng listened to her analysis, and his originally chaotic heart magically calmed down. He hooked his lips and said:

"I didn't expect that you still have the potential to be Zhou Gong." When Ye Shi heard this, he smiled proudly:

"That is, as long as my aunt and grandmother want to learn, there is nothing in this world that I can't do! I guess in a few days, Jiujiu should be back. If you are still not at ease, let her fall asleep and help you take a good look at it. Zuo Sheng looked at Ye Shi deeply, and some small light and shadow suddenly appeared in his eyes that were always clear and rational, surging up like waves. In an instant, Ye Shi felt a lot of deep and suppressed feelings that he had never had before. She suddenly felt a little breathless, turned her head awkwardly, stood up in a panic, and said:

"It's a good day, let's go to the outskirts of the city, shall we?"

"Okay." Zuo Sheng quickly collected the emotions in his eyes and nodded.

In the bazaar, the crowd was bustling, and the two were squeezed forward, although it was deep winter, sweat quickly wet their clothes. The smell of a sticky wet background is not good. Ye Shi gritted his teeth, grabbed Zuo Sheng's arm and walked towards a place where there were few people, and finally stopped in the shade under the city wall.

"It's the first month, why is it as hot as dog days? It's so abnormal. Ye Shi wiped the sweat on his face with his sleeve and complained.

"There will be a great change when a vision falls from heaven." Ye Shi turned his head and saw an old man with gray hair, but his eyes couldn't help but be attracted by the little beast in the iron cage beside him.

It was a white tiger with shiny and smooth fur. Although it is only the size of a puppy that has just reached the full moon, it exudes a majesty and contempt. It seemed to have a sense, looking at Ye Shi and the others, those deep blue eyes tightly grasped their heartstrings like looking at prey, and even felt a sense of oppression for no reason, which made people involuntarily surrender.

"Grandpa, where did you find this white tiger? It's very different to look at. Zuo Sheng looked at it, a sense of familiarity and familiarity in his heart, and suddenly asked out loud.

"Oh, you said this tiger boy, it's a young boy who I asked me to take care of. Hey, speaking of which, I don't know where others have gone after so long......" The old man scratched his head and said in confusion.

"Why does it have an iron ring around its neck?" Ye Shi looked at the pitch-black object, frowning and wondering: Can such a spiritual animal only be kept in a cage forever for others to watch?

"This beast bites, a few days ago, Miss Song saw this white tiger out of nowhere, and insisted on bringing it back to the house. As a result, the tiger went crazy and bit to death many of the people of the Song Mansion...... You don't know? A scholar passing by came over and sighed a few times, Ye Shi glanced at him, full of disbelief:

"This son, did you witness that tragedy with your own eyes? It's so well said. The scholar was startled by Ye Shi's eyes, and hurriedly stammered back:

"Little ...... Xiaosheng also listened...... Listen to the story, and ...... I don't know the truth. ”

"You're a scholar, don't you even understand the truth of three people becoming tigers? So what kind of exams do you take? Ye Shi snorted, the scholar's face turned red, and he just wanted to argue, but when he saw that she had a knife hanging from her waist, her face was white again, and she left in a panic.

"Hmph, I can't get used to these scholars the most. always hides behind other people's backs to tell right and wrong, but he doesn't dare to come out and confront him face to face. Is there really a future for handing over the country to such a person to control? Ye Shi criticized himself, turned his head and saw Zuo Sheng's eyes were misty, as if he was unconscious, and he stretched out his hand as if unconsciously, and the white tiger raised his eyes violently and stared at Zuo Sheng motionlessly.

Ye Shi frowned and called him a few times, but found that his soul seemed to have been hooked by the white tiger, and he couldn't hear her cry at all. Although she said that she didn't believe that this tiger boy would bite someone to death, it was about Zuo Sheng, and she immediately felt jealous in her heart. Suddenly, he was about to touch the white tiger, and she tried to reach out to stop it, but found that her whole body seemed to be under control. She tried her best to break through the shackles, but she felt that her brain was gradually swallowed up by the boundless darkness. This feeling of déjà vu...... Her mind thumped, remembering the closed inner room, of the man who looked like he was crazy.

She wanted to yell at him and tell him it was all their conspiracy. But now, she couldn't do anything, she could only watch him step by step into the preset trap.

The knobby hand was as pale and slender as ever, but Ye Shi felt that what he was doing at this moment would become an extremely critical turning point. An unprovoked panic rose in her heart, so intense, as if it was about to tear her whole body apart. This feeling instantly moistened her eyes.

There was a soft "ding" sound, and the hand that had avenged countless dead people slowly touched the iron ring. Suddenly, an extremely bright golden light rose into the sky, freezing everything around it. The white tiger whined, and hit the iron cage irritably, and the iron ring suddenly tightened, and it roared in pain, and lay limply at the bottom of the cage.

Countless images flashed in front of Zuo Sheng's eyes, rampage through his mind, and suddenly caused a wave of dizziness and pain. Those strange memories came flooding in, forcing him to accept them. He roared, and another wave of pain induced by the rejection hit, and the tendons on his neck erupted. He hugged his head tightly, cold sweat dripping down uncontrollably, and he knelt on the ground like a loss of strength.

When the golden light touched his skin, it burned with a burning sensation. When the pain subsided, the burning sensation became more intense, like a fire, invisibly eroding his internal organs, as if he was about to be thrown into the furnace and recast into iron.

Eventually, the burning sensation subsided like a tidal wave. He got up slowly, his eyes as if they had gone through vicissitudes, glowing with coldness and contempt that Ye Shi had never seen before. He spat out blood and fell to the ground.

"Zuo Sheng !!" The restraints disappeared, and Ye Shi panicked and threw himself beside the unconscious Zuo Sheng. The last look in his eyes appeared, and his heart felt as if a hole had been broken, and the wind with the smell of blood was poured in. She stood alone in the dark, subconsciously wanting to escape, but there was nothing to hide.

The old man only felt that he was gone, and then Zuo Sheng fell to the ground. He frowned and watched the two leave, and as soon as he looked up, he bumped into a boy in fluttering clothes, as if he saw a savior:

"Oh boy! You can count it, you take this tiger away quickly, the old man takes the first step, the first step. He shivered and put away the things he had set up and ran away. The boy picked up the iron cage and chuckled:

"You finally remember all this......"

I don't know if I've dreamed of a scene hundreds of times, and it's played out again. A familiar conversation rings in my ears. It's just that the man, who had been unable to see his face clearly, finally turned around. No matter from which point of view, it is the same as Zuo Sheng.

"Isn't this kind of scene beautiful? Remnant. Zuo Sheng only felt that his brain was buzzing, and the conversation in his ears was completely covered by that one word.

Remnant.

In the void, his chest hurt as if he had a feeling. He tore open the placket of his shirt and saw a red gold six-pointed star on his right chest, and trembled and reached out to touch it. The gold that swirled around the imprint, as if it were alive, pushed the six-pointed star to begin to rotate slowly.

There was a soft sound of "click", the void dissipated, Zuo Sheng opened his eyes, and saw Ye Shi sitting under the bed, and his heart suddenly tightened. The suffocating pain was so vivid that it surged into his heart, and his face turned pale in an instant.

The four eyes were facing each other, and the two were speechless.

The sound of a "squeak" knocking on the door broke the silence between the two. Shen Wan saw that Zuo Sheng was awake, and his heart was relieved, so he immediately patted Ye Shi on the shoulder and said softly:

"You've been with him for so long, and you're tired, let's go back and rest first, we're here here." Ye Shi withdrew his gaze from Zuo Sheng and shook his head silently. Shen Wan sighed and said:

"Don't worry too much about black spells. Now that we have two remnants, we are one short of being able to suppress them. The remnants have sensed each other, and it is only a matter of time before they find the third piece. She checked the remnants of her palm, and Zuo Sheng's heart hurt as if it had been squeezed. He covered his heart and snorted.

Ye Shi hurriedly supported him:

"You...... You okay? Zuo Sheng's lips turned white, and when he heard Ye Shi's worry, the pain in his heart did not decrease, but became more intense. The meticulous logic he was born with forced him to quickly figure out the ins and outs of the matter. The emotions in his eyes were unpredictable like clouds in the sky, and finally fell silent.

OK...... Thankfully, he didn't say anything.
