Qi Xuansu only felt that he was fluttering, as if he was flying into the sky.

It was pitch black before his eyes, and it was very quiet around him.

In this moment, he almost thought he was going to have that strange dream again.

But this time it was clearly not the case, there was no black mountain, only infinite darkness.

I don't know how long it took, the darkness turned into a vast void, and a palace was floating not far away.

The next moment, Qi Xuansu floated uncontrollably towards the palace.

When Qi Xuansu was down-to-earth again, he found that he was in an unknown place.

It's hard to describe in words, it seems to be the interior of a large hall, but there is a lot of fog around it, and everything is hazy and blurry, making it impossible to see clearly. There is no dome above, but a vast starry sky.

Qi Xuansu looked down at himself, and his body was covered in heavy smoke.

At this moment, a figure that was also wrapped in mist floated towards Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu subconsciously took a few steps back, but after seeing the figure make a pointing motion, he immediately reacted and said tentatively: "Qi Niang? ”

"It's me." Qi Niang's slightly distorted voice sounded.

Qi Xuansu breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Qi Niang, where is this?" ”

Qi Niang replied: "This is the second-class assembly of the Qingping Society. ”

"This is ......" Qi Xuansu looked around, "Out of body?" ”

"It's not." Qi Niang shook her head and said, "You should know Fang Shi's dream realm, right?" ”

Qi Xuansu said: "I know, the so-called realm of dreams, as the name suggests, is to be able to travel with the Yin God and enter other people's dreams with the Yin God. I have heard that there are people with bad intentions who, after reaching such a realm, enter the dream realm of women and do happy things with women. When the woman woke up, she only thought it was a spring dream, and she did not suspect that someone was secretly wrongdoing. ”

Qi Niang stretched out her hand and nodded at Qi Xuansu: "I like to hear this kind of story, right?" ”

Qi Xuansu coughed lightly and pretended not to hear.

Qi Niang said: "Entering other people's dreams with the soul is just a superficial use of the dream realm, it is said that after the monk arrives in the realm of ghosts and immortals, he can let others fall into dreams, such as the widely spread Huangliang dream." Lu Sheng went to Beijing to take the exam, but his fame was not good, and he met Lu Weng in the inn on the way home. Lu Sheng lamented his poverty, and the Taoist priest Lu Weng took out a porcelain pillow for him to put on it. Lu Sheng leaned on the pillow and lay down, and as soon as he fell asleep, he married the beautiful and gentle wife of the Qinghe Cui family, won the Jinshi, and was promoted to Shaanzhou Mu, Jing Zhaoyin, and finally promoted to the head of the household department and the imperial history doctor, Zhongshu Ling, and was named the Duke of Yanguo. His five children are also high-ranking officials and marry high-ranking families. Lu gave birth to children and grandchildren, enjoying all the glory and wealth. At the age of eighty, he fell ill for a long time and finally died. When he lost his breath, Lu Sheng woke up in shock, turned around and sat up, looked left and right, everything was the same, Lu Weng was still sitting next to him, and the yellow rice steamed by the shopkeeper was still in the pot. ”

Qi Xuansu was puzzled and asked, "What does this have to do with us?" ”

Qi Niang smiled: "Don't you understand?" You and I actually met in a dream. ”

Qi Xuansu was stunned at first, and then was shocked: "It's not an out-of-body experience, but a dream?" ”

Qi Niang said: "That's right, you and I are still in our own bodies, just like that Lu Sheng, into a dream, but this is not our own dream, but someone else's dream." ”

Qi Xuansu became more and more shocked, and said slowly: "Other people's dreams? Qi Niang, what do you mean is that we are in different places, and through that ritual spell, we enter other people's dreams, and then meet in dreams. ”

Qi Niang nodded and said: "Strictly speaking, we first enter our own dreams, and then use spells to connect our own dreams with this dream, as if building a bridge, and then we come to this dream through the bridge." This is somewhat similar to the fang market system, our own dream is a 'fang', and this dream is a 'city' that is connected to many fangs. ”

Qi Xuansu asked, "How many people are there in the second class assembly?" ”

Qi Niang thought for a while and replied, "Probably hundreds." ”

Qi Xuansu didn't say anything for a long time.

So many people's dreams are connected to the same dream, so what kind of realm should the owner of the dream be?

Is this the strength of the Qingping Society?

Qi Xuansu suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "Then what did we say in the dream here, didn't the owner of the dream know it?" ”

Qi Niang said: "So to speak, but the premise is that the owner of the dream wants to know, under normal circumstances, he will not care about these, just provide a place, and I always feel that he sleeps very dead, this dream is like a bottomless lake, we are just floating on the surface of the lake, and the consciousness of the owner of the dream is the potential depth of the bottom of the lake." ”

Qi Xuansu asked again, "What if the owner of the dream wakes up?" ”

"Where do you have so many questions?" Qi Niang was a little impatient, but still explained, "So far, the owner of the dream has not woken up, and it is said that he has been sleeping for more than a hundred years. ”

Qi Niang pointed to the smoke shrouded in Qi Xuansu's body again: "The members of the Qingping Society are not good at revealing their true identities, they all use the name of the word brand code, which fish talisman you use to come in, what kind of identity you are here." This layer of smoke is both your body in the dream and used to conceal your appearance, and it comes from the thread of 'rejuvenating incense' that you ignite, so you can only stay here for a long time. I use a pan incense, which lasts longer than your incense sticks, and of course, the price will be a bit more expensive. ”

Qi Xuansu understood it thoroughly, and had to sigh that Qingping Society's methods were magical, and he was able to come up with such a way to hide from the sky and the sea, It was really unaware, because it was a meeting in a dream, not an out-of-body experience, and even Yujing's formation couldn't stop it.

It's unbelievable.

No wonder Qingping was named by Daomen several times, it is indeed unique.

The two of them are located in a corner of the main hall at this time, there are twelve huge pillars in the main hall, each pillar needs to be hugged by ten people, and they can't see the top at a glance, and they poke into the starry sky above the main hall, Qi Niang turned around and walked towards one of the pillars.

Qi Xuansu followed behind Qi Niang and asked, "What's the specific use here?" ”

"The Qingping Society is not a Daomen, it is more like a loose alliance, most of the members are dual identities, everyone has secrets, and they must have reservations, so this is mainly used to exchange information." Qi Niang replied, "Some lone rangers, if they encounter a tricky errand, will also ask for help here. ”

Qi Xuansu nodded, feeling that this was not very useful to him, because his partner had always been Qi Niang, and Qi Niang was responsible for this aspect.

Qi Xuansu asked again: "Since it is a dream, then everything is fake, if you want to barter, or buy and sell things, then what should you do?" ”

Qi Niang said: "This is going to test your eyesight, you can make an agreement with someone in advance in your dream, and then trade it in this life." If you look away, it is common to encounter black and eat black. Therefore, many people will choose a compromise solution, that is, to find a reliable, reputable, and fair price of the middleman, and hand over the money and goods to the middleman, and then the middleman will deliver the money and goods to the other party. ”

Qi Xuansu looked Qi Niang up and down and asked, "Qi Niang, should you be one of the middlemen?" ”

"That's right." Qi Niang said with a smile, "This kind of business is not done in vain, I am not only a middleman, but also a money-lending business, and my interest is half a cent cheaper than the interest on the serious loan of Taiping Qianzhuang, with small profits and quick turnover." ”

Qi Xuansu now knows how his flying sword was sold, maybe the "Divine Dragon Handcuff" that almost belongs to him has also been sold by Qi Niang.

Qi Niang remembered something and instructed: "You came for the first time today, mainly to familiarize yourself with the second-class assembly, but you don't have to rush to communicate with others." The materials I bought for you can be used ten times, and you usually save a little money. If you run out, I'll mail it to you by mail, and the cost will be deducted from your coffin book. ”

The so-called letter keeping, similar to the post guards and postmen of the imperial court, can also be regarded as the post station of the Daomen, responsible for sending letters and items, delivering news, and opening to the outside world, but like flying boats, there is a fee.

While talking, the two came to the huge pillar, and Qi Xuansu found that there was a huge drip that was two people high.

A drip is a leaky pot, and like a sundial, it is used to keep time.

Qi Niang pointed to the drip leak and said: "The time in the dream is not very different from the present life, and it can't be relied on purely by feeling, so it depends on this." ”

"In addition, I come here on the first and fifteenth days of every month, and if you have something to do with me, you can choose to come here on these two days. If you are in a hurry, you can still contact me with the 'Mother and Child Charm'. ”

Qi Xuansu nodded to note it.

Qi Niang looked at the drip: "You should go back." ”

Qi Xuansu asked, "How do you go back?" ”

Qi Niang said: "How do you usually end your meditation, how do you wake up at this time." ”

Qi Xuan knew this, and cut off his connection with the dream according to his words.

In an instant, everything around them receded like a tide, and Qi Niang and the main hall became blurred, and finally disappeared like bubbles in the water.

Qi Xuansu experienced the feeling of being like a feather again, and the surroundings became extremely silent, without the slightest sound, and then quickly fell back to the "ground".

Qi Xuansu woke up suddenly, still in the study, just a little headache, like a hangover.

The incense sticks in the incense burner have burned out, and only a furnace of incense ash is left.

The two candles, one black and one white, have been extinguished at some point, but they have not burned much, and there are not many candle tears. Underneath the candlestick were a few ashes from the burning of two runes.

To Qi Xuansu's surprise, the array drawn on the ground with the blood of the imitation candle dragon had disappeared, as if it had never existed, leaving only a silver fish talisman decorated with crimson colors lying quietly between the two candlesticks.

Qi Xuansu looked around, and after confirming that no one had come in, he put all these utensils and materials into the silver scarlet fish talisman, and then put the silver scarlet fish talisman close to his body.
