Chapter 5: The Night Corpse
In early summer, the land is full of verdant.
In the early morning of this day, Bian Yao and He Qingyin walked out of the cave and entered the forest to wander. After more than two years of growth, the young Bian Yao has grown up a lot, but the immaturity between his eyebrows has not been taken off. Looking at He Qingyin, who is the same age as him, he is now more and more delicate.
They often come to the forest, and Bian Yao once tried to pull out the fruit tree seedlings in his dream, and then brought them to the real world in the same way. Bian Yao brought out a dozen seedlings of Bixiang fruit from the dream, and the two of them planted all those seedlings in the woods, because they would not be discovered. After only a year, the sapling of the green fruit grew into a small tree, but for some reason, the tree only produced a few dozen rare fruits, which was much different from the fruit trees in the dream world with fruit hanging on their branches. Bian Yao also brought a little rabbit out of the dream to He Qingyin to play, but within a few days the rabbit died inexplicably, Bian Yao wanted to go in and bring a few more out, but was stopped by He Qingyin, because the girl felt that the rabbit must only live in that dream.
At noon, the two came to the river after lunch, and they followed the shore to touch shrimp and catch crabs. After more than half an hour, the two of them stopped, sat together on the rock, and happily teased the crab.
"I'll sleep for a while~" Suddenly, Bian Yao's voice sounded in He Qingyin's head. She looked up and found that Bian Yao had fallen asleep with his eyes closed, and he had entered the dream in a sitting and standing position. He Qingyin was stunned, she wondered if she had a delusion just now, because she had never had this situation before. Just a few seconds before the words sounded in his head, Bian Yao was still smiling and talking to himself, but the next moment, Bian Yao's voice suddenly sounded in his head, and when he looked up at him, he found that Bian Yao had fallen asleep. He Qingyin didn't dare to disturb him, and sat there quietly waiting.
At this time, Bian Yao was hanging in his dark dream, he didn't know what was going on? Just now he suddenly fell asleep, just when his consciousness was about to enter the dream, he wanted to say something to He Qingyin, but the sentence "I'll sleep for a while" just appeared in his mind, and before he could speak, his consciousness completely fell into the dream.
Bian Yao didn't know that letting his voice sound in other people's heads was an ability that only mid-stage dream monks could have.
Although I don't know what the hell is going on in this broken dream, the breath in it is very magical! It is different from the dream of the "dead man", compared to the dream of my own, although it is pitch black, the breath inside smells more pleasant! But if he wants to say what is good, he can't describe it.
Bian Yao quickly stopped thinking and took a big breath. Every time you enter the dream of the "dead man", you will first return to your own dream to bring the fruits you have picked to the real world. He was used to this dark dream of his own, and he knew the way to get out anyway, as long as the corresponding thoughts appeared in his consciousness, the body would wake up naturally. So this time he didn't rush out, but chose to enjoy the mysterious aura in the darkness with peace of mind.
He Qingyin sat on the side and guarded Bian Yao, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep, and it was easy to make people sleepy on a boring summer afternoon. About half an hour later, He Qingyin woke up, and when she raised her eyes to look at Bian Yao, she found that his figure was a little blurry, and his face looked in a trance. The girl was frightened and frightened, and rushed forward to help Bian Yao and shouted.
After Bian Yao opened his eyes, he found that He Qingyin was calling to himself, and there was still a crying tone in his voice, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
"I just fell asleep, and when I woke up, I saw that you were a little blurry, and I didn't know what was going on, so I woke you up. He Qingyin's words were still a little flustered.
"Don't worry, I'm a dream cultivator now, it's not strange that something strange happens to me, and I will have a chance to find someone powerful to ask in the future." Let's go, let's go back. Bian Yao smiled and turned his head to look at the western sky, where the sun was about to set. The two of them laughed and walked through the woods, and by the time they got back to the cave, it was already dark. Sitting in front of the cave as usual, the two leaned together and looked at the stars in the night sky.
"I'll go in and get something to eat. "Bian Yao is more gluttonous, and he wants to eat when he has nothing to do. Although it is enough to eat two pieces of green fruit a day, in fact, the two of them have to eat a lot of melons and fruits every day. The main reason is that Bian Yao found that the fruits in that dream grew too fast, there was no season at all, and after the fruits on a tree were picked, they would be full of fruit again in two months at most, so there was no need to worry about eating up the food inside.
Bian Yao has long felt strange, the sky in this dream is always gloomy, every time he comes in. This time he didn't rush to pick those melons and fruits, but went directly to the lake. Quietly gazing at the calm surface of the lake, Bian Yao fell into a strange feeling, and his consciousness seemed to enter the bottom of the lake through the water.
It was a thick layer of ice, as if it had been laid on the bottom of a lake. Why is there a layer of ice? What is under the ice? Bian Yu thought about these questions in his mind, not realizing the change in himself at all. At this time, he was standing by the lake, and his body gradually became blurred.
"Boom~" There seemed to be something flashing in front of him, and in a flash, the scene in front of him changed!
Bian Yao looked down at his feet, and looked around again, he found that he had entered another world, a wider space. At this time, I was in a wasteland, and the sky here was even darker than the previous dream!
Suspiciously, he looked around as he stepped through the dead grass and let his senses run in one direction. After about a quarter of an hour, he stopped!
There was a tall and verdant nameless tree in front of him, and the body of the tree was exuding a strong aura, and under the nameless tree, there was a person sitting with his eyes closed. Bian Yao's eyes suddenly widened! Because he found that the person meditating under the tree looked exactly like the "dead man" he had buried in the cave!
After being stunned for a while, Bian Yao seemed to think of something, and he slowly walked up to the person to take a closer look. This person should be the same as himself, just a "spirit". Bian Yao found that he was still breathing, but it was a little weak.
"Hey~" Bian Yao shouted softly, and at the same time stretched out his hand and pressed it on the man's shoulder.
Bian Yao gently patted the man's shoulder and shouted a few times, but the man didn't respond, and when he didn't know what to do, the man's eyes suddenly opened.
"Ah~!" Even though Bian Yao was surprisingly bold, he was still taken aback, and his body couldn't help but fall back and retreat a few steps. This person's face is too scary! It's fine with his eyes closed, but when he opens his eyes, he looks like a "ghost"!
"How did you get in?" the man suddenly spoke, his eyes full of shock!
"I ...... I don't know. Bian Yao replied intermittently.
"It seems that God helps Lao Tzu! Du Xiaotian, you cheap breed actually calculated me! It's a pity that you still miscalculated. Haha......" The man laughed maniacally.
Bian Yao stood there stunned, looking at the man's face distorted by excitement, and couldn't help but shudder.
"If you're alright, I'm leaving. Bian Yao opened his mouth and whispered.
"Hmm~ let's go, I'm in, tell me first, how did you get in, it's not too late to leave!" the man said with a smile. However, in Bian Yao's eyes, that smiling face looked extremely weird and scary!
"It's over! If he knew that his body was buried by us, and stole something from his dream to eat, he might kill both of us! I want to go back quickly!" Bian Yao thought of this, and as soon as his consciousness moved, the "spirit" disappeared from the person's face, and instantly returned to his dark dream.
"How did you go in for so long?" He Qingyin asked curiously when he saw Bian Yao open his eyes.
"Run! That 'dead man' isn't dead!" Bian Yao said, grabbing He Qingyin's wrist, getting up and running out.
The two of them had just run a few dozen steps away, but suddenly bumped into a person. When the two of them looked up, He Qingyin suddenly screamed loudly! Because the person he bumped into was actually the "dead man" who was buried by them as a treasure.
"You two are in a hurry to elope?" said the "dead man," said the "dead man," said the mocking tone.
Bian Yao didn't squeak either, and the cold light flashed! He suddenly pulled out the cold short knife from his waist, gritted his teeth and stabbed fiercely at the "dead man" in front of him! However, as soon as his hand was handed out, it suddenly stopped, and the short blade had disappeared from his hand inexplicably.
"Little ghost, I didn't see that your heart was quite ruthless, dragging the little beauty to rush to the church in a hurry, or what are you doing? How about I give a testimony for the two of you?" The man's tone was full of banter, regardless of his identity and image.
"What do you want to do? I buried you because you thought you were dead, and as for eating the melons and fruits in your dreams, I will return them to you later. Bian Yao spoke, his eyes fixed on the man.
"Eat my melons? Oh...... It seems that you can even enter the 'Original Dream Realm' that I sealed in the 'Ice Spirit Knife'. I see! It's not easy, a dream dweller can actually break into the 'original dream realm' that I have sealed. In this way, you are entering my 'dream domain' from the 'broken node'. Yes, very good!" the man ignored Bian Yao's words, but muttered to himself on the side. After a while, the man suddenly changed the subject and said, "Boy, you don't have to be afraid of Lao Tzu! Although I do look a bit like a ghost, I am not enough to eat people." What's more, you also inadvertently helped Lao Tzu get out of trouble, although I don't know what method you used, it can be regarded as a bit of a fate with me. I'm a 'night corpse' with a clear grudge and a grudge to be avenged! Say, what do you want, or what do you want Lao Tzu to do for you? "The man who called himself the 'Night Corpse' spoke, his eyes looking at the distance, and a slight smile on his face, as if he wanted to put on a charitable appearance.
"Are you serious?" Bian Yao hesitated for a moment, and suddenly asked.
"I'm not going to lie to you, a little ghost!"
"Okay, can you make her a dream cultivator too?" Bian Yao said, raising his hand and pointing at He Qingyin, who was hiding behind him.
"No! Walking the path of dream cultivation is completely based on one's awakening talent, unless one can step into the threshold, others will not be able to help! What's more, not everyone can become a dream cultivator, and there are so few people who are born unable to embark on the path of dream cultivation. Normally, most dream cultivators enter the threshold of dream cultivators at the age of seven or eight, and there are a very small number of people who do not enter the door of dream cultivation until they are in their early tens. However, it was nothing that she couldn't become a dream cultivator, she could choose something else to cultivate. The Night Corpse opened his eyes and spoke slowly.
"Then you get out of the way, we don't want your help. If you want to repay me, give us a little more to eat, and then let us go. Bian Yao stared at the night corpse, and his words were soft.
"Let's talk about the two of you first, and then I'll think about what to do. The night corpse was stunned for a moment, and then said lightly.
After Bian Yao was silent for a while, he truthfully told the situation of the two of them and what they had done after finding the "corpse" of the night corpse.
The night corpse pondered for a while, and then said, "I don't like to owe others the most, so you can follow me for the time being, and you don't have to worry about eating and drinking." I'll find a way to teach you some skills, and you can go whenever you want in the future, okay?"
Bian Yao and He Qingyin looked at each other for a few moments, and finally nodded with a smile.
