Time passed slowly, and the days were as normal as usual.

The warm spring is gone, and the hot summer is coming. The back house, which has always been as quiet as stopping water, can even hear the cicadas when summer comes.

The scorching summer is definitely the most boring season for the young man Bian Yao. He bought a lot of different flavors of wine outside, all in a space bag. Every day, except for the time for cultivation, in his spare time, he either wandered around the back mansion or sat under the fragrant dream tree in the courtyard and drank.

When it comes to cultivation, since he first stepped into the gate of the palace, Bian Yao has never studied the "Dividing Mind Technique", let alone dared to explore another secret about stealth that happened to him. Even in the middle of the night, he just honestly lay in bed, or meditate and cultivate.

Two or three times a month, Bian Yao would go out of the house and wander around alone. Most of his involvement is limited to the area around Gu Nan Street in the southern area of the outer ring of the imperial city, and occasionally he will go to the east and west outer ring areas for a walk. Luckily, he hadn't had any surprises since the last time he got into trouble because of his curiosity.

The sound of cicadas chirped and disappeared unconsciously, and the heat of summer silently receded.

After autumn, most of the branches and leaves of the trees planted in the palace are still full of green. Only a few species of trees follow the laws of the four seasons and have withered leaves.

Autumn is a sensitive and eye-catching season. Especially when the leaves on the fragrant dream tree in the yard completely turn from green to golden yellow, you will suddenly understand that late autumn has quietly arrived.

The Xiangmeng Tree is the most common and tenacious tree in the Dream Immortal Continent. This tree is especially loved by people, whether it is an ordinary mortal or a dream cultivator with great powers, they will have a special affection for the Fragrant Dream Tree.

No matter how the seasons alternate and change, the palm-sized leaves always hang from the branches, and the only thing that changes is their color. Different splendor, the golden color of the Xiangmeng tree will remain for a whole winter, until the next spring when the earth warms, the color will gradually turn green, and the cycle will start again, very magical!

On the seventh day after the beginning of winter, the first cold snap surged from the far north, and Huangzhou City will usher in another cold winter.

In the afternoon, Bian Yao sat quietly in the courtyard drinking alone, and he still couldn't figure out when he began to like drinking, maybe in the summer, or after the autumn. He likes to drink spirit fruit wine, which is the kind of wine made from all kinds of spirit fruits, most of their flavors are sweet and mellow, and they are not as strong as multigrain wine, and they will not get drunk after drinking half of the jar.

A cold wind blew, and the branches and leaves of the Xiangmeng tree couldn't help but shake gently, as if telling a golden dream.

Inadvertently, Bian Yao smelled a faint fragrance, which was emitted by the leaves of the Xiangmeng tree, and the taste was completely different from the mellow aroma of the spirit fruit wine. It is a very light and light fragrance, which is easy to bring people a sense of tranquility, and sometimes it can also make people feel a little sentimental.

In an instant, an inexplicable sense of helplessness jumped into Bian Yao's heart, and he brought out a wave of hesitation. It has been more than two years since the cave city and the night corpse parted. He didn't know how long he would have to wait in this capacity, whether something would happen to the old ghost, whether he would come looking for him? These questions kept lingering and circling in his mind.

The more cranky you think, the more upset you feel. Bian Yao didn't notice that he had become easily irritable recently, so he got up from the stone bench and walked quickly towards the outside of the courtyard.

He wants to go outside the palace, whether it is a cold wind, there will always be a strange feeling of depression when trapped in the palace.

In particular, it is worth mentioning that in the past summer and autumn, Bian Yao has obtained two more three-spice spirit grasses. Now that he is at the peak of the late stage of the Dream Walker, he is not far from the Dream Mania Realm.

Gu Nan Street, Bian Yao must pass by every time he leaves the house.

Although there was a chill on the street, the clothes of the pedestrians still did not change much, only a very small number of mortals wore thick clothes, and cultivators were able to resist a certain degree of cold, and different cultivation realms had different abilities to withstand heat and cold.

As usual, Bian Yao was dressed in gray coarse cloth clothes, walking aimlessly on the wide street. The passers-by with sad faces and all kinds of noise heard all kinds of noise, and they couldn't be happy in their hearts.

Seeing that most of the street had gone down, Bian Yao couldn't help frowning, and his feet were getting slower and slower, as if he had lost his motivation.

Suddenly! A familiar voice sounded in his head.

"Don't show anything unusual! Just keep walking forward, there is a fruit wine shop in front of you, pretending to be buying wine. ”

Bian Yao's heart beat violently, and a touch of ecstasy appeared on his face. But in the blink of an eye, he hid the color on his face, pretended to be nothing, and looked left and right to continue walking.

Although the area of the Seven Flavors Fruit Wine Shop is small, it is a store that has been in business for hundreds of years, and you can tell that it is old just by looking at the signboard outside. The reason why this small fruit wine shop has been able to exist for so long is said to be because of an ancestral secret recipe. Bian Yao had visited this wine shop before, and had bought a few jars of spirit fruit wine in it, and the taste was not bad.

After a while, Bian Yao came to the door of the wine shop. After a pause, and after a moment's hesitation, he walked in.

Probably due to the season, there are not a single customer in the sake brewery, and because the area of the store is small, it doesn't look very deserted.

The person who sold the spirit fruit wine was an old man with gray hair, and he was also a dream cultivator, but he only had the mid-stage realm of a dream walker. At this moment, the old man was sitting behind the counter, smiling and looking at Bian Yao.

Bian Yao walked to the counter in a daze, and just wanted to speak, but saw the old man suddenly raise his hand and point to the door curtain on the right, smiling without saying a word.

Seeing the hanging cloth door curtain, Bian Yao naturally understood what the old man meant, he walked a few steps, lifted the door curtain and broke into the back room.

It was a familiar figure, still dressed in a gray robe, especially the old ugly face that would never be forgotten at a glance, and the characteristic strange smile hanging from the corner of the mouth. However, this extremely annoying appearance seems so kind in Bian Yao's eyes!

"That's good!" the night corpse stood with his arms crossed, and after laughing a few times, he said: "Little ghost! Looking at your intact appearance, it is estimated that you have not suffered much in the past two years!

The old ghost's tone is still like that, he doesn't hide his words at all, he doesn't care about his identity and face, he hasn't changed at all!

Bian Yao stood at the entrance of the house with his mouth open, staring at the night corpse stupidly and laughing, reaching out and scratching his hair from time to time, but he didn't know what to say.

The night corpse moved two steps, came to Bian Yao, raised his hand and patted him lightly on the head, and said with a smile: "I have grown a lot taller! But I am destined to be a kid in front of Lao Tzu!"

Bian Yao smiled, swallowed his throat, raised his chin and asked, "Why are you here?"

"It's not convenient to say that right now. You're being watched in the dark right now, and you can't stay in the liquor store for too long, or you'll be suspicious. ”

"So what now?" Bian Yao stopped smiling and hurriedly asked.

"You put away these spirit stones first, and they will be useful when the time comes. As he spoke, the night corpse waved his robe sleeves, and a pile of spirit stones appeared on the ground out of thin air, "During the implementation of the plan, nothing went wrong, right?"

Looking at the hundreds of spirit stones on the ground, although Bian Yao showed surprise on his face, he quickly put the pile of spirit stones into the space bag. Then he said with excitement on his face: "No problem! I am now the worship of the palace, and he also sent me three incense spirit herbs to help me improve my cultivation speed, I feel that I have reached the peak of the late stage." ”

"That's good! To make a long story short, you have memorized the detailed process for me about the last step of this plan!" The night corpse's face suddenly turned correct, and the following words were injected into Bian Yao's mind through transmission.

"Next, I will inject all the methods and steps of that spirit array into your mind, and then you only need to follow the prompts that appear in your head, and there will be no mistakes!"

After saying this, the night corpse stretched out his right index finger, gently touched it in front of Bian Yao's forehead, closed his eyes and said, "Get rid of distracting thoughts!" Let the sea of consciousness enter the state of emptiness!"

Bian Yao didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly closed his eyes as he said, expelling distracting thoughts from his mind, while maintaining a still posture.

After just a few breaths, Bian Yao suddenly opened his eyes, and there was a brief sluggishness on his face!

"Is it okay?" the Night Corpse stared at him, his voice faintly excited.

Bian Yao's eyes widened, stunned for a moment, and then nodded fiercely, his eyes revealing a heavy and determined color.

In less than half a moment, Bian Yao walked out of the Qiwei Fruit Wine Shop with brisk steps, with obvious wine stains hanging from the corners of his mouth, and his face was filled with a faint joy.

After leaving the liquor store, Bian Yao wandered a few streets one after another, and entered several shops and bought a lot of things. It wasn't until the sun set in the west that he stepped on his shadow and returned to the palace.
