Chapter Ninety-Three: Curiosity and Trouble
At the beginning of the third lunar month, the vegetation is lush and the birds are jumping and frolicking in the trees.
Ten days of cultivation passed quickly. Bian Yao slowly opened his eyes and stretched out his arms, only to feel that his mind was clear, and his whole body was full of energy and refreshed.
The past ten days of cultivation are equivalent to ten months of ordinary meditation cultivation. Bian Yao could clearly feel that his cultivation had made a lot of progress, but he also knew that there was still a long way to go before the peak of the later stage.
With a sudden movement in his heart, Bian Yao looked down at his ankles, the leaves of the three-spice spirit grass had withered and hung down, and the mud that wrapped the roots had dried up and cracked.
Bian Yao stretched out his hand to copy the mud ball in his palm, supported the paving board with one hand, jumped off the bed lightly, and came to the courtyard in a few steps. He crushed the mud at the root of the spirit grass into fine soil, sprinkled it evenly in the "Yunling Grass" garden on the north side of the courtyard, and finally threw the withered body of the three-spice spirit grass into the grass garden with a wave of his hand.
After doing all this, he looked up at the sky with a smile on his face. The sky is blue and white, the sun is shining, and the mood is naturally very comfortable and happy.
The time was still in the morning, and the enshrinement was as peaceful and quiet as before.
After a while, Bian Yao moved his gaze from the clouds back to the courtyard, wondering if he was going to the palace to ask for a meeting with King Nu, and say a few words of gratitude to him to thank him for giving him grass. After thinking about it for a while, he finally abandoned this idea and decided to go out for a walk.
When Bian Yao came to Gu Nan Street leisurely, it was almost noon, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians coming and going on the street, especially at the door of the restaurant, where people kept coming in and out.
In Huangzhou City, almost all the customers of the restaurant are dream cultivators, and most of them are dreamwalkers and dream maniacs. In addition to the relatively large number of dream cultivators in these two realms, the most important thing is that they have a certain economic foundation. As for the dream cultivators in the realm of dream dwellers, although there are quite a few of them, due to their limited strength, they have almost no financial resources, so they are naturally shy in their pockets.
The smell of various food and drinks wafts through the streets. Not long after walking, the gluttonous worm in Bian Yao's stomach woke up with the wine worm, causing him to keep smacking his lips and throat.
As he walked, he hesitated whether to pick a restaurant to enjoy a meal. In fact, with his current status, he can eat and drink at any time in the palace, but since he became an offering, due to some reasons and concerns, he has never been to the dining hall again, and he relies on eating spiritual fruits to fill his stomach.
If you want to ask why Bian Yao is hesitant because of this little thing, he is actually afraid, worried about what trouble he encounters.
In the Dream Immortal Continent, as long as you walk in the cultivation realm, you may encounter trouble anytime and anywhere! Many times, it does not mean that if you abide by the rules and duties, you will be able to avoid disasters.
Bian Yao knows very well that the restaurant is a place with a high incidence of fights! Especially those dreamers who have poor alcohol quantity and quality, and after a few bowls of spirits, their hidden nature will be exposed. Either it's loud and noisy, or it's a look at the next table that doesn't like the eye, and go up and scold.
In the middle of Gu Nan Street, there is a large restaurant called "Junhao", with three floors. This restaurant is famous for its high price, fresh food, and fragrant wine, and most of the customers who patronize it are dream-madness, and the average dreamwalker can't afford it at all.
Bian Yao wandered leisurely under the fragrant dream trees, and finally slowly pressed down the ** of wine and food. When he passed by the "Sovereign Restaurant", he suddenly heard a bang overhead, like a sound caused by the wooden table being smashed!
Bian Yao was startled, and jumped back reflexively, while raising his head and looking up.
I saw a middle-aged man in a blue shirt flying upside down from the top floor of the restaurant in a backward posture, and it seemed that someone had hit him from the front and flew out.
Obviously, those who can enjoy it on the top floor of the restaurant are not ordinary people, at least their skills are not bad. Seeing that the middle-aged man flew upside down above the street, he suddenly made a tumbling movement in mid-air, straightened his body, and then landed firmly in the middle of the street.
However, a scene that surprised Bian Yao happened! In an instant, almost at the same moment when the middle-aged man landed, a black shadow swept out from the top floor of the restaurant like a bird, and in an instant, he rushed in front of the man, raised his palm and slammed it on his chest.
The man let out a muffled snort, and his feet flew off the ground in an instant, hitting a fragrant dream tree across the street, and he sat down on the ground, bleeding from his mouth.
The black shadow turned around, it was a young man's face, his sword eyebrows were cold, he was wearing a black robe, I saw him coldly glance around, and shouted loudly: "Look at what! This son is in a very bad mood today, so the ** that beats people is very strong!"
As soon as the man in the black shirt shouted like this, the people around him who had stopped to watch the excitement all changed their faces, turned around one after another, and continued to walk their own way, and no one dared to take another look.
At this time, Bian Yao was muttering in his heart. He didn't look like this young man in black shirt was a sword cultivator, but it was unlikely that he was a dream king, but looking at the speed he showed just now, it was even a few points faster than a sword maniac!
In this way, Bian Yao was curious for a while, and when everyone around him stopped watching and continued to hurry, he still stayed in place, and couldn't help but look at it curiously twice, but trouble came!
"What are you looking at?" the man shook his face to look at Bian Yao, raised his hand and pointed at him.
Suddenly, a wide sword appeared out of thin air and flew straight into Bian Yao's chest.
This sudden change surprised Bian Yao! He almost subconsciously raised his finger and quickly handed it over to the flying sword, and also used a trick "Illusory Shadow Shadow".
"Bang"! Bian Yao's stone was smashed into pieces by the oncoming sword, but because it was hindered, the power of the broad sword almost disappeared, and it completely lost its lethality.
Bian Yao dodged and successfully avoided the sword. The next moment, the sword and the gravel disappeared one after another.
Hurriedly avoiding the cold gaze from the man in black shirt, Bian Yao didn't dare to say a word, raised his legs and walked forward, eager to escape from this place of right and wrong.
Who knows, the man in black shirt didn't seem to plan to let Bian Yao go, but seeing that the cold light flashed in his eyes a few times, he suddenly raised his left hand and stretched out a single finger, pointing towards Bian Yao's back, and closed his eyes at the same time.
Bian Yao only cared about walking forward quickly, and he didn't know what was going on behind him, because he didn't hear any movement, he only thought that the man had let him go.
The man in the black shirt stood in that position for a moment, then opened his eyes sharply with a puzzled look. After a few breaths of silence, all of a sudden, a shocked expression appeared on his face!
"Wait!" Before the words fell, the man's figure had disappeared in place, flashing in front of Bian Yao like a ghost, blocking his way, and asked urgently, "Who are you?"
As soon as the man's words came out, Bian Yao's body seemed to be attracted by something, and he suddenly flew backwards more than a foot away before stopping.
"It's probably a bit inappropriate to shoot at passers-by on the street! An old man in gray appeared behind Bian Yao, with a slight dissatisfaction in his voice.
"You are just an early dream king, what qualifications do you have to preach to this son?" The man in black looked at the old man in gray with cold eyes, and his expression did not put the old man into his eyes at all.
At this moment, a figure flew from the east side of Gu Nan Street, and it took a few breaths to get closer. The person who came was also an old man, wearing a black coat with the word "Zhi" embroidered on his left chest, who was the law enforcer patrolling all over the imperial city, an early dream king.
The enforcer glanced coldly at the gray-clothed old man, then looked at the black-shirted man, his face changed slightly, and asked, "What happened?" Young Master Feng. ”
"It's not a big deal, you don't have to worry about it. The man's tone was still cold.
"This ......" Hearing his words, the law enforcer's face suddenly showed a little embarrassment, and he was stunned and didn't know what to say.
"I have something to ask him, you'd better not be too troubled!" said to the old man in gray with a cold face, and then locked his gaze on Bian Yao.
If you really have anything to ask, go to the palace to see the prince first. The gray-clothed old man's face remained unchanged, and he responded coldly.
Hearing this, the black-shirted man's face changed suddenly, and he began to be cloudy, and at the same time, his eyes wandered on Bian Yao's body, and he didn't know what he was secretly thinking.
"Forget it, accompany me back and finish the drink. Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice sounded behind the man in a black shirt, and there was almost no emotion in his voice.
Except for the man in black shirt who didn't look back, Bian Yao and the old man in gray, as well as the seemingly ownerless law enforcer, all looked at the person who spoke.
It was a very young-looking man, dressed in an ice blue robe, and there seemed to be something hidden in the depths of his eyes. Like his voice, there was not the slightest fluctuation of emotion on the man's face.
When he saw the young man's appearance, the law enforcer's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly bowed down and saluted him, but he didn't say anything.
As if he didn't want to be the focus of everyone, after suddenly appearing and saying two sentences, the young man didn't pause, turned around and waved his robe sleeves, jumped up, and floated into the top floor of the "Junhao Restaurant".
The man in the black shirt seemed to reluctantly withdraw his gaze from Bian Yao, turned around and took a few steps back, and then jumped to the top floor of the restaurant with the same flying body.
Seeing this, the enforcer turned his head to look at Bian Yao and the old man in gray, didn't say a word, and turned to leave.
"Xiaoyou, let's go back to the palace with me first. The old man in gray suddenly smiled.
"Who are you?" Bian Yao turned his head to look at him, his eyes rolling and rolling, and his face was full of doubt.
"There may be some chaos in the imperial city recently, the prince is worried about the safety of Xiaoyou, and specially sent me to protect Ye Xian in secret. The old man in gray replied with a smile.
"Well, I'm not in the mood to go any further. Bian Yao sighed and said helplessly.
After saying this, the two turned around and walked towards the palace one after the other.
On the top floor of the Junhao Restaurant, next to the railing on the side of the street, there is a small square table with six dishes and two pots of wine on it, and two young men sit opposite each other.
"When did you get so angry?" said the young man in an ice-blue robe in a faint tone.
"My anger suddenly increased, and it wasn't all because of your immediate storage. The man in the black shirt replied angrily.
Hearing this, the corners of the robed man's mouth twitched suddenly, and then he raised his glass and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and asked, "What's going on?" I see that you seem to be staring at a young man. ”
"I suspect that the boy has the secret art of 'hiding dreams'! I was going to attack his dreams just now, but I couldn't find them. The man in the black shirt frowned obliquely and whispered.
"How could a teenager have the secret technique of 'hiding dreams'? The young man's face changed slightly, then returned to normal.
"There can't be anything wrong!" replied the man in black with a quick voice, his tone was very affirmative, "It's very close, I've locked on his body, but it turns out that I haven't detected his dreams. and the Dream King suddenly appeared at a critical moment, which shows that the Nu King's Mansion attaches great importance to that young man, so he sent a Dream King to protect him in secret. ”
The blue-robed man didn't speak, lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said lightly: "Whether it's true or not, I don't have the time to care about this matter." After returning to the palace, I will pay close attention to retreat and practice, and it is estimated that I will not come out again in the short term. ”
"That's right! Break through to the Dream King realm before the solo dance, that's what you should be most concerned about! I also need to retreat and cultivate, and it's been five years since I entered the late stage of Dream Mania, so I wonder if you'll be one step ahead of me to advance to the Dream King. ”
"Are you going to let your uncle know about whether that young man harbors the secret art of 'Hidden Dreams'?" asked the blue-robed man.
"Of course you have to tell my father! Being able to hide dreams is not a trivial matter, not to mention that it is related to the Nu King's Mansion!"
It didn't take long for the two men to leave the restaurant together and go their separate ways.
Nu Wang's Mansion, in the palace of the king.
In front of a golden incense burner, the King of Anger stood alone with his hands in his hands, quietly listening to the report of the gray-clothed old man behind him.
"The second prince and the child of the Feng family?" "The King of Fu suddenly turned around, his face a little cold.
The old man in gray hurriedly bowed down and replied, "That's right! and...... That Feng Ziling seemed to want to attack Ye Xian's dream, but for some reason it suddenly stopped, and his face changed suddenly, and then stopped Ye Xian, as if he wanted to ask something. ”
"You should have made a move earlier!" Du Xiaotian said with a gloomy face.
"I thought that Feng Ziling was the young head of the Feng family after all, so he wouldn't do that kind of thing on the street, after all, it would affect his father's reputation. The gray-clothed old man replied in a low voice, his face faintly pale.
"It's come to this, there's no need to say more!" King Nu's tone softened, and he said: "From now on, if Ye Fengfeng leaves the palace again, you have to keep an eye on me." Go ahead and don't make any more mistakes!"
Hearing this, the old man in gray was overjoyed when he received amnesty, and replied in a deep voice: "Understand!
