Chapter 9: The Later Period of the Dream Layman

When He Qingyin woke up, it was just before dawn broke. She sat up from the couch and turned her head to look at the side, a hint of warmth streaming through her eyes. Bian Yao was still meditating quietly.

When the eastern sky was slightly red, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the room, just enough for the people in the room to hear.

He Qingyin turned his head, the door was pushed open, and a smiling "grimace" appeared in the girl's sight. He smiled lightly, didn't make a sound, turned his head and looked at Bian Yao again.

"Brother......" He Qingyin slowly crawled to Bian Yao's side and shouted softly.

After the girl shouted many times, Bian Yao finally opened her eyes slowly. When he saw the night corpse standing in front of him, the corners of his mouth showed some cunning, and then he closed his eyes again.

"Wang~" Suddenly, a dog bark sounded in the room.

Just in front of the couch where Bian Yao was sitting, a skinny black dog appeared out of thin air and pounced on the night corpse.

The night corpse was startled at first, and then his eyes showed a little joy, but he did not make the slightest avoidance of the big black dog that pounced on him. Look at the big black dog again, it disappeared as soon as it touched the body of the night corpse.

"Yes, yes! I broke through, and it seems that this night has gained a lot. That mysterious dream of yours is becoming more and more curious to Lao Tzu. The Night Corpse grinned, smiling.

Bian Yao propped up with one hand, jumped down from the couch, walked to the night corpse in two steps, and said excitedly: "The method you taught me really works, I feel light and fluttering now, and I can also use the "Illusory Dream". ”

The night corpse monster laughed twice, reached out and touched Bian Yao's head, and boasted: "It seems that Lao Tzu didn't teach you in vain, and your understanding is not bad! Let's go, I'm going to take you out today to have a good time." After finishing speaking, the night corpse turned around and walked towards the outside of the guest room, and Bian Yao turned around and waved at He Qingyin, and followed excitedly.

After the three of them left the Cloud Visitor Inn, they went straight out of the West City Gate. The night corpse took the two of them to the western suburbs, and walked for about half an hour before reaching their destination.

On the western outskirts of Cave City there is a large wooded area. It was summer, and the trees were luxuriant, and the branches were covered with tender green trees dangling their feet. Bian Yao finally understood what the night corpse said about "playing", what kind of play it was.

Climbing up and down like this, Bian Yao went back and forth eleven times in a row, and finally lost his strength. The last time I fell from a tree, but luckily it wasn't too high off the ground, but my ass suffered a little.

Just as He Qingyin walked to Bian Yao's side and asked a long question, two green oval fruits floated in front of the two of them and floated in the air. It is the "Source Spirit Fruit", in addition to being able to satisfy hunger, the greatest effect of this kind of spirit fruit is that it can quickly eliminate the discomfort caused by various exercises in the body.

"Eat quickly, there is not so much time for you to rest, and there will be more fun later." With that, the Night Corpse got up and walked around the edge of the clearing.

Bian Yao stretched out his hand and scooped up the two "Source Spirit Fruits", threw them directly into his mouth, and swallowed them after a few bites. Suddenly, a cool feeling, like thousands of extremely thin streams flowing all over Bian Yao's body, began to quickly subside the soreness and weakness caused by the suitable climbing. Bian Yao was happy in his heart, he had also eaten this kind of fruit in the dream realm of the night corpse before, but he didn't notice any effect at that time, and he only ate it as an ordinary fruit. After Bian Yao ate the two "Source Spirit Fruits", the feeling of soreness and weakness in his body soon disappeared.

"Little ghost~ ready to catch the rabbit!" At this moment, the ghostly voice of the night corpse sounded again.

Hearing this, Bian Yao and He Qingyin turned their heads to look at the night corpse, and as soon as their faces showed doubts, they saw several white shadows suddenly flash into their eyes.

Six snow-white rabbits appeared in this clearing out of thin air, and their vigilant eyes and a pair of pointed ears erected high all indicated their vigilance and cleverness.

"Catch them, they can't get out, I've already laid an enchantment. The voice of the night corpse sounded in the trees, followed by He Qingyin's exclamation. Bian Yao followed the prestige, and saw He Qingyin sitting on a branch, holding the trunk tightly with both hands, looking pitifully at Bian Yao below. As for the night corpse, he sat on another big tree and swaggered out his gourd and drank wine.

"Stinky old ghost~ let her down!" Bian Yao shouted at the night corpse.

"Hey~ rest assured, don't worry, I can't drop your little daughter-in-law, when you finish catching these six rabbits, I'll take her down. As he spoke, the night corpse waved his hand at Bian Yao, not looking at him.

"Don't be afraid, wait for me for a while, and soon I'll catch them all. Bian Yao turned his head to look at He Qingyin and comforted loudly. The girl bit her lip on the tree and nodded, not daring to make a sound.

In this open space with a radius of only more than ten zhang, Bian Yao ran around, desperately chasing rabbits. Originally, he thought it would be easy, but after a few pillars of incense, he only caught three. Once the rabbit is caught by Bian Yao, it will disappear into thin air. These rabbits were released from their original dreams by the night corpses, and they were full of spirituality, much more difficult to catch than the hares that Bian Yao had seen in the real world.

Bian Yao sat on the ground and looked up weakly at He Qingyin, who was sitting on the tree, his eyes full of apologies.

"I'm not afraid! Don't worry, take a break and catch it later. He Qingyin suddenly opened his mouth and shouted loudly at Bian Yao.

Bian Yao looked at the night corpse and saw that he seemed to be asleep, leaning against the tree and not moving. Bian Yao suddenly got up and shouted at him, "Old ghost, hurry up and give me green fruits to eat!"

As soon as the words fell, two "Source Spirit Fruits" appeared in front of Bian Yao's eyes. Quickly swallowing the fruit into his belly, Bian Yao once again clearly felt that all the discomfort in his body was rapidly subsiding, and he pounced on the rabbit again.

This time, Bian Yao only took half the time to catch all the remaining three rabbits. When the last rabbit disappeared from Bian Yao's hands, the figure of the Night Corpse appeared in front of him. Looking at He Qingyin's body again, it was as if he was being supported by an invisible force, and he fell back to the ground from the tree safely.

"Hurry up and eat, I'll be back in a moment. The night corpse spread out his palms and handed the two "Source Spirit Fruits" and the two purple "True Luo Fruits" in his palm to Bian Yao, the main effect of the True Luo Fruit is to strengthen the body, which has great benefits for the improvement of the physical skills of martial artists.

"Let's talk about it first, and in a while, she'll go up. As for you, there will be more fun waiting for you next. As soon as the corpse moved, it sprang into the woods and disappeared.

After about a stick of incense, the night corpse appeared in front of the two of them again.

"Enough of the intimacy? The night corpse laughed, revealing the old disrespectful virtue.

The night corpse waved his sleeves at He Qingyin, and the girl sat back on the tree again inexplicably. The girl did not scream as frightened as she had last time, and although her face was still pale, her countenance was much calmer.

"Listen carefully to Lao Tzu, this time you don't need to climb up and down, and you don't need to catch anything, the only thing you have to do is 'dodge'! If you have the chance, you may be able to try to use the "Phantom Shadow", but only if you can make sure that you can avoid its attack. Beware of its front paws! Its claws are very sharp, and if you are careless, your life may be lost!" With these words, the night corpse also floated back to the tree.

After listening to the admonition of the night corpse, Bian Yao's face changed slightly, revealing a nervous expression, and he couldn't help but turn around and glance around.

Quietly, a figure with a golden yellow body appeared opposite Bian Yao out of thin air. This is an adult "stinging wind rat", a few points larger than the average dog, likes to live in the woods with lush foliage, and is good at jumping through the woods. It is named because the body hair on the back is as hard as a pinprick and it moves quickly. Usually very tame, almost never actively attacking other animals, non-carnivorous alien beasts.

When the Stinger Wind Rat first landed, it seemed a little dizzy, and its body shook slightly, then it stood up on its two hind legs and began to look around. When its gaze swept to Bian Yao, its slightly confused eyes suddenly widened, and its eyes turned red in an instant!

"Squeak~" The stinging wind rat made a series of strange noises in its mouth, and suddenly jumped up and pounced on Bian Yao like crazy.

As soon as the Stingy Wind Rat appeared, Bian Yao stared at it closely, secretly vigilant in his heart. He knew what kind of virtue the old ghost of the night corpse was, and the person who liked to see himself ugly would warn himself so seriously, indicating that the person who appeared in front of him was definitely a very troublesome guy!

Before Bian Yao's eyes could blink, the long claws swung in front of him. Relying on the instinct of awakening and the natural speed of reflection, Bian Yao barely dodged this claw. However, before he could catch his breath, a swift attack came in front of him, with a gust of wind. In an emergency, Bian Yao squatted down suddenly, and his body jumped out to the right.

In this clearing, which was enchanted by the night corpses, he kept running away and dodging the attacks of the Stinging Wind Rat. In less than half a pillar of incense, Bian Yao's front body and back were cut with seven wounds of different depths. In order not to lose his life, he kept galloping, flashing his body, and let out a wild cry from time to time to relieve the pain caused by the wound!

He sat on the branch with tears in her eyes, sobbing incessantly. At this time, the girl had forgotten her fear of Gao and stretched out a hand to cover her mouth, she was afraid that she would not be able to help but shout, causing Bian Yao to be distracted. Because soon after ascending the tree, the night corpse warned her that if she made any movement and noise, it was very likely to distract Bian Yao, and it would put him in an extremely dangerous situation!

When people's lives are at stake, they are often able to burst out with amazing will and potential, whether it is explosive power or endurance.

After a stick of incense, just when Bian Yao was almost about to exhaust the last trace of physical energy, the stinging wind rat suddenly disappeared.

"Eat it, and we'll continue later!" The night corpse's voice reached Bian Yao's ears, and several fruits of different colors and shapes appeared in front of him.

"Don't want it~" He Qingyin suddenly cried and shouted on the tree, and his red eyes made people look at pity.

Bian Yao raised his head, smiled embarrassedly at He Qingyin, and said loudly: "Don't worry! I'm fine, I won't let it touch me again." After chewing and swallowing those unknown spirit fruits, the bleeding from the wound on his body stopped, Bian Yao felt hot all over his body, and the pain at the wound magically turned into **, and the scratches on his body were healing rapidly. It didn't take long for Bian Yao to feel that he had regained his strength, and he was even more abundant than before.

"Attention, little ghost, you may be able to fight back this time, and its physical strength has been consumed a lot, but you can't kill it. The night corpse shouted half-leaning against the tree.

In a trance, the Stinging Wind Rat appeared in front of Bian Yao again. As last time, the Stinger shook slightly, then raised its two front paws and began to survey its surroundings. When his gaze turned to the boy again, the stinging wind rat's eyes turned red and he wanted to pounce forward. The corners of Bian Yao's mouth hooked a wicked smile and blinked suddenly.

"Wang~!" a skinny big black dog appeared out of thin air and pounced on the wind mouse. Almost at the same time, Bian Yao's body suddenly leaned forward and rushed towards the Stinging Wind Rat.

Seeing an alien suddenly appear in front of him and pounce on him, the Stinging Wind Rat seemed to be frightened and dodged to the side. After the big black dog pounced in the air, it naturally disappeared. At this time, Bian Yao had already jumped to the original position of the Stinging Wind Rat, and seeing the Stinging Wind Rat dodging to the side, he quickly twisted his waist and kicked it to its abdomen, which was only covered with a layer of gray-white soft hairs, which was the weakness and vital point of the Stinging Wind Mouse. Just as the tip of his toe touched its stomach, the Stinging Wind Rat leaped up and leaped into the air, avoiding Bian Yao's attack.

Bian Yao blinked his eyes again, and just as the Stinging Wind Rat was about to land, the big black dog appeared out of thin air again and pounced on it.

"Squeak~!" Seeing that he couldn't dodge, the Stinging Wind Rat let out a strange cry from his mouth, and quickly swung out his front paws and slashed at the big black dog. As its sharp claws slashed past the big black dog's head, the Stinger Wind Rat seemed to notice the anomaly, but it couldn't figure out what it was, and the Stingy Wind Rat was momentarily confused. In an instant, Bian Yao, who had jumped to the front, suddenly turned sideways, raised his foot and swept towards the two hind legs of the Stinging Wind Rat.

"Click~" The sound sounded, and the two hind legs of the stinging wind rat were broken. The stinging wind rat fell to the ground and tossed incessantly, hissing in pain from its mouth.

At this moment, the night corpse suddenly appeared, and the Stinging Wind Rat seemed to be restrained by an invisible force, unable to move a single bit. The Night Corpse approached it, crouched down without saying a word, and gently reached out its palms to grasp the broken hind leg of a stinging wind rat. After a few moments, the night corpse straightened up, and when he saw that the stinging wind rat had stopped hissing, he turned over and stood upright, his broken legs back to normal.

"Twitter~" suddenly sounded a childish chirp.

Bian Yao and He Qingyin found that at some point, a young stinging wind rat appeared next to the adult stinging wind mouse, and kept calling and crawling to find milk to eat. The adult stinger lowered his head and quietly stuck out his tongue to the young mouse, and Bian Yao suddenly realized that it was a female stinging wind rat that had just given birth to a cub.

"Let's go, that's all for today. With that, the Night Corpse turned and walked towards the path outside the clearing. Of course, Bian Yao and He Qingyin would not have an opinion, and they also left, but they couldn't stop looking back at the affectionate stinging wind rat mother and son.

"What the hell is going on?" Bian Yao asked, jumping next to the night corpse.

"I took the cub in front of it. However, I was transformed into you. After saying that, the night corpse laughed.

"You stinky old ghost! give me something to eat!" Bian Yao turned behind the night corpse and pushed hard, shouting indignantly.

"That's not delicious! How about I take you to eat fragrant white rice?"

"Okay!" Bian Yao jumped up and shouted happily.

He Qingyin followed behind, lowered his head, and laughed.

The midday sun shone through the dense forest on the path, and the dappled shadows of the leaves were like instruments spread on the ground, and as the three of them walked, they would play cheerful notes from time to time.
