Chapter Ninety-Five: Midnight Raid
On the night he returned to the palace, Bian Yao lay quietly on the bed with his head in his hands, and repeated the last step of the plan of action that the night corpse told him, and memorized it by heart.
The next day, Bian Yao was still the same as usual, except for cultivation, he was sitting under the Xiangmeng tree in the courtyard and drinking spirit fruit wine, without revealing the slightest abnormality.
And so on for two days. During this period, Bian Yao's mind would have a feeling of irritability from time to time, accompanied by a faint desire for destruction.
Bian Yao was naturally secretly overjoyed, he had clearly realized that this situation was the precursor of the Dream Walker's breakthrough to the Dream Mania Realm. It's just that for a short period of time, I will continue to be plagued by this kind of annoyance.
The reason why negative emotions and phenomena such as irritability and headaches appear in dreamwalkers who have cultivated to the peak of the later stage is because the spirit body that exists in their dreams is beginning to give birth to their consciousness. The length and smoothness of the process varies from person to person.
On the third day, after darkness fell, Bian Yao anxiously ate a few pieces of green incense fruit, then jumped on the bed and began to meditate, trying to calm himself down.
Time passed bit by bit, and more than two hours passed, when Bian Yao suddenly opened his eyes and jumped off the bed lightly.
Standing quietly in the open space of the inner room, Bian Yao hesitated for a moment, and suddenly took out the spirit stone from the space bag, preparing to set up a special spirit array according to the instructions of the night corpse. With a slight movement of his mind, a pattern immediately appeared in his mind. The complete picture of the spirit array, as well as the position and order in which the spirit stones were to be placed, were all displayed in the mind in the most intuitive way.
The winter night is windless and silent.
Inside the house, on the wooden frame in the corner of the wall, the luminous stone emits a soft faint light.
Bian Yao frowned and half-squatted, the expression on his face looked extremely serious, and his right hand was raised and dropped from time to time, and the spirit stones were gently placed on the ground.
Half an hour later, a circular spirit stone formation with a diameter of about half a zhang appeared in the house, and the spirit stones of all grades used added up to a total of two hundred and seventeen. However, at this time, the spirit array has not yet been finally formed, and a superb spirit stone needs to be placed in the middle, otherwise it cannot be activated!
After carefully watching the spirit array a few times and confirming that there were no mistakes, Bian Yao slowly stood up and let out a long breath. Carefully retreat to the bed, sit down slowly, and raise your arm to wipe the sweat from your forehead.
Inside the house, it was like a dead silence! Bian Yao sat quietly on the edge of the bunk, listening to his clear breathing and feeling his heartbeat. Even though he had been mentally prepared early on, when the final moment really came, he still couldn't suppress the uneasiness that came out of his heart, and he felt a little scared.
Tonight is about to carry out the last step of the whole plan, can the old ghost really kill the angry king Du Xiaotian, what will be the result? Will he and the old ghost be able to escape from the palace smoothly? Or will they die here? He couldn't help but start thinking about it again.
Nervousness and fear suddenly gave him the illusion that time seemed to have stopped.
However, since he had promised the old ghost earlier, he had already made a decision, no matter what he said, he couldn't back down at this juncture! Besides, the old ghost was not an ordinary person, and he shouldn't be able to do things that he was sure of!
Thinking of the end, Bian Yao suddenly raised his head, shook his head vigorously and violently, then took a deep breath, jumped off the bed, and walked out of the room.
In the silent night sky, a round of crooked hooked moon hangs obliquely.
Out of the worship courtyard, Bian Yao stepped on the courtyard road to the palace of the emperor. Although he often wandered around the back house during the day, he never left his yard at night. Especially at this time of year, it is late at night.
In the end, it was winter, and the chill of the night seeped into his skin through Bian Yao's coat. It was slightly cold, but it also made his mind clearer! His feet were very light, and the night was quieter, so he could still hear his footsteps clearly.
Bian Yao once went to the Chaojun Palace, it was in mid-autumn, because of the matter of the three incense urging spirit grass, he specially went to the Chaojun Palace to meet the King of Nu and said a few words of gratitude.
The cold and dim moonlight poured down like a gray veil.
In the night, the outer outlines of the buildings near and far are like silhouettes. The pond with the water surface like a mirror, the strange and strange high stones, all kinds of trees of different heights, some with lush branches and leaves, and some with only lonely and bald branches, all make the night of Houfu more and more erratic and mysterious.
There is a bit of a detour from the temple to the palace of the emperor. In the night, Bian Yao relied on the environment on the side of the road, and then according to the impression and memory, after walking for about a moment, a tall and tall temple came into view.
Compared with the front house, the night of the back house lacks the embellishment of luminous stones. I don't know why, all the large and small buildings in the Houfu are not inlaid with luminous stone on the outside. Because of the moonlight on the side, it was dark outside the door of the main hall.
Bian Yao's footsteps were very natural, without deliberately lowering his voice or raising it. He got closer and closer, and he was less than three feet away from the main hall.
Suddenly, a figure appeared outside the temple door, and it seemed to be condensed from the darkness, looming and elusive in the eyes.
"Stop! Ye Feng came here late at night, what is the matter?" The voice in the darkness was very cold and emotionless, just like a cold winter night.
"I want to see the prince, I have something urgent to ask him. Bian Yao's palms were dripping with cold sweat, but he tried his best to answer in the most natural tone.
There was a short silence on the other side, but Bian Yao seemed to have experienced a long wait.
The dark door of the temple seemed to be opened in an instant, and bright light came from inside the hall.
Bian Yao's face froze slightly, and he was slightly surprised, knowing that this meant letting himself in. Without pausing, he resolutely walked towards the entrance of the bright hall.
When Bian Yao's figure entered the palace of the emperor, the light behind him suddenly disappeared. The inside and outside of the hall seemed to be separated by an invisible door, and the inside of the hall was bright, and the outside of the hall was once again plunged into darkness.
"In the middle of the night, Xiaoyou suddenly came to find this king, is there anything urgent?" The angry king Duxiaotian was wearing a brocade robe, standing quietly in the middle of the hall, looking at Bian Yao with a pleasant face.
Bian Yao first smiled apologetically, then walked a few steps towards the King of Fu, and said worriedly: "I suddenly felt a headache when I was meditating in the house, and the headache disappeared after waking up, but when I tried to dream and cultivate again, no matter how much I tried, I couldn't enter the dream realm. Does the prince know what's going on?"
After listening to this, Du Xiaotian wiped away the smile on his face and replaced it with a thoughtful look. After a short silence, he spoke: "The situation you said is very strange, this king has not heard of such a thing, it must be related to your strange dream?"
After saying a few words, King Nu walked back and forth in the hall with his hands in his hands for a while, then slowly turned his back to Bian Yao, frowning and pondering.
Bian Yao was happy in his heart! What the old ghost said in the dark path was really not wrong, when this angry king Duxiaotian encountered an unanswerable question, he would often habitually turn his back and think about the problem.
At the moment when Du Xiaotian had just turned his back, Bian Yao's face suddenly tightened, and with a movement of his mind, the Wusha Sword instantly appeared in his palm!
Almost at the same moment, a gray shadow appeared beside Bian Yao like a ghost, and then instantly flashed behind Du Xiaotian, raised his right hand obliquely like lightning, and slashed at his neck with his palm as a blade!
Suddenly, sensing the abnormal change behind him, Du Xiaotian's pupils suddenly spread, and his figure shifted to the left in an instant, dragging out an afterimage.
However, his dodge was still half a step slower. The night corpse was as fast as a blade, and he cut off his right arm.
Suddenly, the broken arm fell to the ground, and bright red splattered out from Duxiaotian's right shoulder, and the blood flowed like an infusion!
Ignoring the pain of breaking his arm, Du Xiaotian flew back to the end of the hall, and at the same time, his left arm leaned forward, and he saw a huge translucent beast figure, which jumped out of the air in an instant, and completely disappeared in a blink of an eye.
The night corpse shook his face and looked at the end of the main hall, staring at the embarrassed Du Xiaotian, sneered, and then flicked his arm forward, and a slightly smaller but also translucent beast shadow broke out of the sky, and disappeared in an instant.
In an instant, several strange roars sounded inexplicably in the hall, fierce and deafening!
Du Xiaotian opened his blood-red eyes, glared at the night corpse with anger and hatred, gritted his teeth fiercely, and his body suddenly rushed up, broke out of the hall, and fled to the sky above the back mansion.
At this moment, a man in black suddenly rushed in from outside, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the situation in the hall!
The night corpse quickly turned around and probed his left palm, and the man in black was immediately covered by an invisible force, and his body could no longer move. Flying closer, the Night Corpse raised his right palm and slammed it down on top of his head.
The man in black let out a muffled snort, blood gushed out of his mouth, his eyes widened, and he fell straight to the ground and died!
Then, the night corpse didn't turn his head, he shook his hand and made a virtual movement to the right, and Bian Yao, who was hiding in the northeast corner of the main hall, suddenly flew towards him.
Picking up Bian Yao, the night corpse dodged and moved behind the temple door, raised his palm and pressed it violently in the void, and there was a fluctuation at the door of the main hall, and the hidden enchantment cracked a gap.
Taking advantage of the fleeting gap, the night corpse took Bian Yao out of the main hall through the rift, rose up, and flew towards the direction of the worship courtyard at great speed.
