After walking five miles away, the water slowed down, turning into countless streams flowing into the valley and ravine, and Linglong stopped and waited for the Xuanying people to follow.

Xuan Ying ran to Linglong, grabbed her, and asked, "Are you worried about us to death!"

Linglong smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine, and I have also retrieved my aunt's soul." ”

Wang Qi heard this and hurriedly said: "This is very good, without further ado, let's go back to restore the soul of the red lotus immediately." ”

While it was still dark, the six returned to the cave they had been in.

The guardian of the red lotus body on a moonlit night was waiting restlessly, and he didn't care about greeting Xuanying and Linglong, and asked Wang Qi eagerly: "Senior Uncle, has Senior Sister's soul ever been retrieved?"

Wang Qi took the gourd from Linglong's hand and said, "Finally, everything went well, Linglong risked death to enter the earth-shattering glass lamp and bring out the red lotus soul." ”

Yueye breathed a sigh of relief, patted Linglong's shoulder and said, "Good boy!

Linglong made a helpless expression, and said in her heart: You are not a few years older than me, why do you always look old-fashioned.

Wang Qi opened the gourd, and the soul of the red lotus floated out and floated in the air.

Ge Qing leaned over and said, "Brother Wang Dao, do you want to help?"

Wang Qi shook his head and said: "No need, her soul has not left the body for a day and night, and she can return to her soul on her own, without help, but if it is more than three days and nights, she will need to help her." ”

Ge Qing comprehended and stepped aside.

I saw the shadow of the red lotus, the translucent soul hovering around his body several times, sinking downward, and attaching to it.

Everyone was far away, and their breath was closed, and they were afraid that their souls would be disturbed and escaped.

After a few moments, Honglian opened her eyes and stood up.

When everyone saw it, they were all overjoyed, Linglong threw herself into the arms of the red lotus, and said with tears in her eyes: "Auntie, you are scared to death Linglong." ”

Red Lotus's soul suddenly recovered, her body was a little uncontrollable, and the moonlit night hurriedly came over to support her, and said, "Senior sister, what do you think?"

Honglian stroked the two of them and said with a smile: "It's okay, one death is better than ten years of cultivation." ”

She came to Wang Qi and the others, and said, "Thank you Uncle and all the junior brothers for coming to save the red lotus." ”

Wang Qidao: "Your family is not polite, you are now recovering from your soul, and you must sit quietly and steadily, and it is not suitable to work." ”

Red Lotus nodded.

Wang Qi said again: "If it's late today, everyone will meditate here for a night, and then reason tomorrow." ”

So everyone was divided into two places, Red Lotus, Linglong, and Moonlit Night on the right, and Wang Qi, Xuanying, Yuanhu, Ge Qing, and Ming Chongyan on the left, each meditating and practicing.

Linglong has always liked to move and not like to be quiet, so that her meditation and practice is really like sitting on pins and needles, and her heart said: Practice is exempt, rest and rest is the right reason, so she crooked beside the moonlit night and closed her eyes to sleep.

At the time of the third watch, Linglong was sleeping in the land of sleep, suddenly on a whim, woke up, felt that there were people walking in the cave, opened his eyes and looked, and saw that Red Lotus, Moonlit Night, and Wang Qi and others were all meditating with their eyes closed, and beside Red Lotus stood a tall, ghost-like person, with a green scarf masked, only a pair of fine eyes were exposed, and they were looking at Red Lotus blankly.

The masked man turned his head and saw that Linglong was about to wake up, and hurriedly raised his right hand, and there was a round mirror the size of a goose egg in his palm, on which was carved a hideous-looking evil ghost, the evil ghost's eyes opened, and a red light flashed on Linglong's forehead, and Linglong's body sank and fell asleep.

In her sleep, Linglong only felt that she came to a world of light and shadow in a trance, there was nothing everywhere, only the boundless white light appeared and disappeared from time to time, and there were colorful shadows coming and going, under the overlap of light and shadow, Linglong felt dizzy and confused, and her eyes could not see, and it took a long time to barely settle her mind and look around.

The masked man stood not far in front of her, watching her.

Linglong shouted, "Hey, who are you, what is this place?"

The masked man said: "It doesn't matter who I am, you don't need to know, as for what place this is, it doesn't hurt to tell you, this is a dream." ”

"Dreams?" Linglong couldn't quite understand.

The masked man explained, "It's in your dreams, it's the world in your dreams. ”

Linglong thought about it, and it seemed that he had dreamed of these lights and shadows, and then he felt that something was not quite right, and asked, "Then why did you run into my dream?"

The masked man stretched out his hand, and the mirror carved with evil ghosts appeared, and said: "This mirror is called the Dream Mirror, also known as the Nightmare Mirror, which can control people's dreams and shuttle through it." ”

Linglong snorted: "I see, sneaky, not a good thing." ”

The masked man smiled: "I think so too, but since it can be used by me, it can't be called a bad thing, right?"

Linglong felt that even the dream was controlled by someone, it was simply the boss's unhappiness, and said: "Don't come to this set, you are running around in other people's dreams with an evil mirror, you are not a good thing!"

The masked man said, "You'd better not annoy me, because I can kill you in my dreams so you never wake up." ”

"You scare me?" Although Linglong is a girl, her nature is arrogant, and she straightens her chest and crosses her waist and says: "Okay! I want to see if you can kill me!"

The masked man shook his head and sighed, "Dare enough to challenge me! ”

Linglong eats soft or hard, and when she saw that his tone was no longer fierce, she didn't care, and said, "What do you want to do in my dream?"

The masked man said, "You have one thing from me, I want to get it back." ”

Linglong Qi said: "I don't know you, how can there be your things?"

The masked man smiled, "You don't know me, but I know you, my things have been hidden from you for sixteen years, it's time to retrieve them." ”

Linglong was confused: Sixteen years? I was sixteen years old, that was when I was born, no wonder I didn't have an impression, then he must know his aunt, and he had to ask when he went back.

The masked man said, "How about it?" Can you give it back to me?"

Linglong said: "I don't know what it is, how can I give it back to you?"

The masked man said: "As long as you agree, the next thing is easy." ”

Linglong was skeptical, and said not without guard: "How do I know if you will kill me?"

The masked man smiled: "I don't need to trouble you so much, okay, I'm short of time, so I won't talk nonsense, you just have to do what I say." ”

"How?"

The masked man said: "Just close your eyes and think that there is something between your eyebrows that is going to run out." ”

Linglong rolled her eyes: "Are you sure it's not harming me?"

"Sure. The masked man said: "And it's good for you." ”

Linglong hesitated for a while, closed her eyes according to her words, and said in her heart: Something will come out of my head?

Just thinking about it, I suddenly felt that my eyebrows seemed to skip a beat, as if there was really something there.

Come out!

Linglong screamed in her heart, and the thing at the center of her eyebrows burst out of her body.

I only heard the masked man's delightful voice say, "Yes!
