Chapter 1: The Troubles of Children
The Dream Immortal Continent is very big! Very big! Anyway, there is no word other than "big" to describe it more precisely.
Cave City, located in Huangzhou in the Dream Country, is the closest county town to the Imperial City, so it is named after the many caves.
Bian Yao was dressed in a gray white cloth coat, and walked on a small road in the wild suburbs of the city with that little face, his red eyes and pale face were extremely incommensurate with his still childish little face! He walked staggeringly, his face expressionless, and it seemed as if he might fall to the ground and die at any moment. Passing through a grassy mound, he suddenly crouched down, and then lay down. Bian Yao slowly turned his face sideways, and what caught his eyes was a black cloud.
"Dream fruit. He rolled his eyes and whispered weakly.
So, "Yumeko" wagged her tail and lay down next to his head, and stuck out her tongue to lick his face gently. Bian Yao grinned, smiled and raised his hand to push away Mengguozi's black head. For Bian Yao, he has only one "relative" since he was a child, that is, this big black dog who has followed him all day long since he can remember.
Bian Yao now has only one worry, what should he do to be able to sleep peacefully? Whether he can dream or not, as long as he can fall asleep! He has given up the idea of becoming a "dream cultivator"! In fact, in the past two years, he has found it more and more difficult to fall asleep, especially this time, he has not slept for seven days and seven nights. How can a person who can't even sleep talk about becoming a dream cultivator?
Bian Yao's mind was wildly thinking, he sighed deeply, sat up with some difficulty, and then looked at the barren grass in front of him in a daze.
"Hehe~" Bian Yao's eyes suddenly lit up, and a strange smile came out of his mouth. His body suddenly seemed to have gained strength, and he suddenly got up from the ground. For he saw a man walking under the hill, and suddenly he fell down.
Soon, Bian Yao took Mengguozi to the foot of the barren hill, looking at the middle-aged man who fell asleep, saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth.
According to Bian Yao's experience, these people usually have some "Bixiang fruit" hidden on their bodies. I heard that this kind of red fruit, which is slightly larger than human eyeballs, can not only satisfy hunger but also promote sleep, making it easier for people to fall asleep. Bixiang fruit is a must-have good thing for people who have not entered and have just entered the dream of cultivating the door, but for Bian Yao, an ordinary person, this fruit can only play a role in satisfying hunger.
Quickly and skillfully turned the middle-aged man's whole body up and down. Looking at the three red fragrant fruits lying in the palm of his hand, Bian Yao curled the corners of his mouth. He first took out one and handed it to the "Dream Fruit", the big black dog wagged his tail excitedly, carefully swallowed the Bixiang Fruit in Bian Yao's palm, and then chewed it carefully.
"Let's go!" Bian Yao threw a green fruit into his mouth, hid the remaining one in his pocket, turned his head and shouted with a smile at the big black dog.
Everyone dreams, but there is a difference between the scene that ordinary people dream about and the dream that they really. The scene that ordinary people dream of every time is completely different and ever-changing. In other words, if you find yourself dreaming about the same scene one day, it means that you have the most basic and important prerequisite for becoming a dreamer!
As a matter of fact, the introduction to dream cultivation is very simple! As long as you fall asleep, you can fall asleep immediately, and you can dream for three days and three nights in a row without being disturbed, that is, you will not wake up for thirty-six hours, even if you take the first step after entering the door of dream cultivation, you will become the lowest level of dream cultivation, and you will be called a "sleepwalker"! After becoming a dream cultivator, every time you sleep, you will fall into a dream, because every time you sleep, you will definitely enter a dream! And the scene of the dream will also be fixed, and with one's own cultivation, after the cultivation is improved, the dream will change, which is an extremely mysterious phenomenon!
Dream cultivation in the realm of sleepwalkers can't control their sleep and dreaming, and drowsiness may hit at any time, and as soon as sleepiness comes, it will fall uncontrollably and fall asleep, and at the same time, it will also enter its own dreams. Sleepwalkers can fall asleep at any time and don't know when they will wake up, so in the land of dreams, especially in places with a large population, you can see people lying down there to sleep, and some thieves will take the opportunity to steal from those people. In some densely populated cities, patrolling guards pass by from time to time on the streets with a large number of pedestrians, to prevent the lives of those junior dreamers who are lying on the ground and sleeping, as well as the infringement of their personal belongings, especially the lives of female dreamers.
When a dreamer dreams, he or she attaches his consciousness to the "soul" and then takes on the "soul" of the subject's consciousness and walks and does things in a mysterious space called the "dream realm".
Each realm of a dream practitioner is divided into three stages: the early, middle, and late stages.
Initial sleepwalkers are not walkers, and are not really "sleepwalkers" in the strict sense of the word. When a sleepwalker enters the middle stage, he or she can walk while dreaming, and only then can he be regarded as a veritable "sleepwalker".
Everyone has a "soul", and the "soul" of ordinary people is combined, and only cultivators have the ability to separate the "soul". The sleepwalker is able to walk because the "soul" is separated, the "spirit" is left in the dream, and the "soul" returns to the body, but the consciousness of the body is left on the "spirit", so the "sleepwalker" walks unconsciously. It can be said that usually, the sleepwalker is dominated by his own "soul" with vague memories and habits. Thankfully, sleepwalkers only walk around the road or do things in their daily lives, and don't do anything harmful to others. Later sleepwalkers are able to initially sense something that is happening to them and wake up. In the final analysis, the dreaming realm of the sleepwalker is immature and unstable, and the dreamer of this realm does not have any offensive and defensive capabilities, so it can be said that it is not much different from mortals!
Sleepwalkers, Dream Walkers, and Dream Walkers, the dream cultivators of these three realms all belong to low-level dream cultivators. The vast majority of dream cultivators are able to successfully break through to the realm of dream walkers, the difference is only in the length of time it takes. Among all the cultivators in the Dream Immortal Continent, the low-level dream cultivator is the weakest existence among the low-level cultivators, and if he really wants to fight with other types of cultivators, the low-level dream cultivator will usually be the loser.
In some populated areas, it is common to see streets full of sleepwalkers.
In late spring, the afternoon sun is a bit harsh. Bian Yao hadn't slept for ten days, and his stomach was very hungry, so he dragged his footsteps and Mengguozi towards the place where the population gathered.
In the south of the city, outside the south gate of the cave city, a relatively densely populated town. On the road, there are a large number of sleepwalkers sleeping on the road all year round, and Bian Yao has not been beaten and scolded here.
Bian Yao's pace slowed down more and more, and he was observing and looking at the sleepwalkers who fell asleep crookedly, as well as those who had the same thoughts as himself. Avoiding a sleepwalker who was going straight ahead, Bian Yao fixed his eyes on a man who had just fallen. Unlike usual, the few guys with obvious bad intentions didn't rush up to grab the sleepwalker's things, but just looked at them twice, and then moved their eyes to the other sleepwalkers.
Seeing this situation, Bian Yao frowned, revealing a puzzled face, could it be that those guys who had been stationed here for a long time knew the sleepwalker, or did they know that the person did not have Bixiang Fruit on him? Bian Yao was hesitating to go up, and suddenly heard the stomach of the "Dream Fruit" 'gurgling', and it seemed that it was also hungry. Bian Yao turned his face and looked at "Dream Fruit" for a while, and finally decided to go up and take a look.
Bian Yao put his steps very lightly, and moved little by little towards the sleepwalker who fell to the ground and fell asleep. In a few moments, he was at the man's side. Swallowing his throat, Bian Yao bowed down beside the man, and then lay down again, which was not easy to attract attention. Bian Yao slowly moved his body, slowly put his hand into the man's arms and began to grope, and after a while, his face overflowed with joy, because he took out two bixiang fruits at once. Bian Yao immediately threw one to the "Dream Fruit" wagging his tail beside him, and then sent the other one into his mouth.
"Smack~!" Bian Yao's cheek was suddenly slapped, and the bixiang fruit that had just been handed to his mouth rolled to the ground.
"Rabbit cub, dare to steal Lao Tzu's things, I can't kill you!" the sleepwalker, who was still lying down and sleeping just now, sat up suddenly, and yelled at Bian Yao.
"Wangwang~!" Seeing Bian Yao being beaten, "Mengguozi" stood up and barked at the man.
Ignoring the big, skinny black dog, the sleepwalker got up and kicked him at Bianyao, rolling him a few times.
The "Dream Fruit" on the side suddenly pounced on the sleepwalker, wanting to bite him.
"Get out, dead dog!" the sleepwalker was very strong and tall, and with one hand he grabbed both of the front legs of the dreamfruit, and with the other hand clamped it tightly around its neck, then slammed it viciously on the ground, and then went up and stomped on its head with his foot and twisted it incessantly.
"You let him go!" Bian Yao gritted his teeth and got up, screaming and rushing towards the sleepwalker, his scarlet eyes almost splitting.
"Stop!" a loud cry rang out indifferently, and a fire-streaked tiger pounced on the sleepwalker who was doing evil!
The sleepwalker stopped in a hurry, and ducked to the side in fright, avoiding the tiger. And the tiger inexplicably disappeared out of thin air after swooping into the air.
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a heavy sword at his waist and embroidering the word "patrol" on the left chest of his shirt appeared in front of Bian Yao, who was the city patrol guard of Mengguo. The vast majority of the Dream Cultivators were also martial arts cultivators, because the low-level Dream Cultivators were weak and had little attack and defense capabilities. Especially the guards who belong to the state, each of them practices martial arts and wears weapons.
The city patrol guard is at least the realm of the dream dweller, a dream cultivator of one realm higher than the sleepwalker. Dream dwellers are able to keep their "spirit" in the dream world all the time, while the ontology in reality can still do things normally. Unlike sleepwalkers, they have good control over their sleep schedules because their consciousness returns to their bodies. Dream monks have initially mastered the abilities that dream cultivators have, they can transform some fierce birds and beasts or plants, trees and stones that appear in the dream realm, which is similar to the mysterious "phantom race" on the Dream Immortal Continent, but there is an essential difference, and the things conjured up by low-level dream cultivators have no lethality.
"Huang Dalong, you want to slander people again, don't you? Even a child has such a heavy hand!" the city patrol guard looked at the sleepwalker with a sneering face, and there was disdain in his eyes.
"Patrol Lord, I can't say that, it's those people who want to steal my things, and I caught him, and he deserves to be beaten a few times. Do you think that's the reason?" the sleepwalker smiled and looked very innocent. For the Dream Layman who is one level higher than himself, and he is a figure belonging to the country, he doesn't dare to offend, but he is not very afraid, after all, his behavior is not a violation of the laws and regulations of the Dream Country.
Eventually, the sleepwalker, known as the "Yellow Dragon", staggered away. The city patrol guard showed a hint of compassion in his eyes, glanced at Bian Yao and the big black dog, stepped forward, took out two bixiang fruits from his arms and put them in Bian Yao's pocket, and then left without saying a word.
Bian Yao knelt on the ground and held the breathless dream fruit in a silent daze, and something seemed to be churning in his heart. Soon after, Bian Yao stood up, gritted his teeth and dragged the corpse of the big black dog towards the countryside.
