"Where am I?"

"In a dream. ”

The questions and answers were extraordinarily simple, still the same throat-hugging sound, hoarse as the sound of two pieces of metal rubbing against each other.

Nie Qingqing suddenly stared at the nightmare eyes, which were not a pair of bull's eyes, but a pair of human eyes, a pair of human eyes embedded in the cow's face, the eyes showed a strange black, black and scorching, but the eyes were bright, as if there was a beast in it, roaring, roaring.

And the nightmare himself is quiet, both in performance and temperament, it is quiet and incredible.

After a few seconds, he suddenly spoke: "You shouldn't have come here, but since you're here, don't go." ”

Nie Qingqing saw that his eyes were glowing, a strange red light, just like the sunlight that passed through the sky when the blood was all over the sky, but it was a little weirder than the sun.

For a moment, she was a little distracted, and at this moment, a familiar female voice suddenly sounded in her ears: "Move!"

Nie Qingqing subconsciously took a few steps back, and felt a vibration under her feet, and when she came back to her senses, she found that the floor where she was standing before had cracked and turned into a black hole, extremely black and deep.

Nightmare frowned, and said in a low voice, "It's you again, do you think this will stop me?" With a wave of her hand, Nie Qingqing felt her feet vibrate again, and a crack appeared on Yin Hong's carpet, spreading to the soles of her feet.

Just when she was at a loss, the voice in her ears sounded again: "Don't be stunned, run, run to the right." ”

At this moment, Nie Qingqing had no time to identify the real and fake, and the speed at which the crack spread did not give her any time to think about it, she was like crazy, and ran towards the right side of the palace, in front of her was a wall painted with murals, and in a hurry, she couldn't see the contents of the murals at all.

Moving on? It's over. She thought. Just as he was about to turn around, he heard a female voice say, "Don't turn, move forward, keep moving forward, go through the wall!"

Through the walls?

If the speaker stood in front of Nie Qingqing, she would definitely ask why he had to go through the wall, it was a real wall, who could pass through?

The owner of the voice, apparently aware of her thoughts, continued: "Fake, all fake, everything you see is fake, except for the crack that engulfs your soul. ”

Nie Qingqing suddenly understood that this was just a dream, there was no so-called palace in the dream, let alone a wall with murals, and there was probably a covetousness ahead.

The crack chased after her, leaving little time for her to think, she gritted her silver teeth, closed her eyes and rushed forward, she felt her body touch something, but it was not a wall, but a membrane, a membrane that could block her forward slightly.

-- It's just a little bit.

It didn't take much effort for Nie Qingqing to pass through this membrane, the suppressed feeling suddenly disappeared, and the tip of his nose swept through the fresh air.

There is no floral scent, no grass scent, just pure air, but in Nie Qingqing's heart, it is more exciting than any smell mixed with floral and grassy fragrance.

I'm out!" she thought.

When she opened her eyes, she was back at the door of the wooden house, and the green-robed woman stood in front of her, still with a cold appearance with a smile under her skin, like a flower that had withered before it had yet opened.

Nie Qingqing breathed heavily, and suddenly felt that his body was weak and fell down.

She fainted, fainted again.

As a martial artist, Nie Qingqing didn't often fall into a coma, but this time, she fainted twice in a row, without warning, or even for no reason.

When she awoke, she was lying on a carved wooden bed covered with a soft mattress, covered with a thin brocade quilt, and the green-robed woman was sitting on the edge of the bed, staring into her eyes.

Nie Qingqing was suddenly a little scared, and subconsciously pulled the quilt.

"What are you looking at me for. She said.

This is also human nature, anyone who wakes up in a coma and sees that he is in a strange environment, and there is a strange woman sitting next to him who has only met once, will be afraid, and even subconsciously protect himself, what Nie Qingqing did is a matter of course.

The green-robed woman smiled slightly, as if the ice and snow were melting: "Can't I look at you? ”

Nie Qingqing suddenly found that when the green-robed woman laughed, her voice was so beautiful, crisp like a yellow warbler in the empty valley.

But this nice voice didn't bring laughter Nie Qingqing's doubts, she whispered, "Why am I here?"

The woman asked rhetorically, "You don't remember?"

Nie Qingqing shook his head.

The woman laughed, "I guided you out of the blue palace, after which you passed out." ”

Nie Qingqing thought about it, and the vague memory in her mind told her that there was indeed such a thing for a while. She relaxed a little and whispered, "Thank you." ”

The woman shook her head and said, "You don't need to thank me, you should thank yourself." You believe me, so you can run out, and if you don't, even if I remind you, you won't run. After a pause, he continued: "After all, in that place, I can't exert my strength. ”

Nie Qingqing felt that there was an indescribable loneliness hidden in her voice, and couldn't help but ask, "What is that place?"

The woman asked rhetorically, "Are you asking about the Blue Palace?"

Nie Qingqing said: "If there is only one palace." ”

The woman said, "That's right, there is only one palace here, and that is the Blue Palace." After a pause, she continued, "It's a palace that belongs to nightmares, something woven from dreams. ”

Nie Qingqing was a little confused, although she felt that there was no need for a woman to lie to her, she still couldn't help but ask, "But it said it was my dream." ”

The woman stared at Nie Qingqing, a pair of cat-like eyes roaming on her cheeks, until Nie Qingqing, who was staring, felt a little hairy in her heart, and then whispered: "That is indeed your dream." ”

"I—"

Nie Qingqing was about to speak, but was interrupted by the woman: "Don't doubt it, that's your dream, the blue palace is a palace in a dream, and everyone who steps into that realm will look at the palace of the thug, including me." ”

Nie Qingqing asked, "Isn't the palace in my dream?"

The woman smiled and said, "That's right, the palace is in your dream, I said that it is a palace that exists in your mind, but it does not exist only in your mind. After a pause, he continued, "Actually, it exists in everyone's mind. ”

Nie Qingqing shook his head and said softly, "I don't understand. ”

The woman said, "You don't need to understand, you just need to know that everyone will see the Blue Palace." ”

Nie Qingqing frowned slightly, as if she was thinking, and after a while, she finally spoke: "You mean to say that in the realm of nightmares, everyone's dreams are the same?"

The woman stopped her movements, glanced at Nie Qingqing in surprise, and after a while, she spoke: "I didn't expect you to understand this, many people don't understand." ”

Nie Qingqing captured another piece of useful information.

"A lot of people? a lot of people have been in here?"

The woman looked at Nie Qingqing, sighed, and said, "There are many people. ”

Nie Qingqing asked again, "What about those people?"

The woman stared at Nie Qingqing with slanted eyes, and said in a low voice, "What do you think?"

Nie Qingqing is a smart woman, and when talking to a smart woman, you don't need to point it out, just click it; Nie Qingqing understands what the woman means - those people are dead, and there is no life left.

She suddenly felt a little depressed, pulled the quilt for a while, and said, "How is it outside?"

The woman glanced at Nie Qingqing and said casually, "Do you think I'll know?"

Nie Qingqing nodded and said, "You will, won't you?"

The woman sighed and said, "Yes, I know," after a pause, she continued, "Now that you're in, Nightmare won't have time to clean up the people outside." ”

Nie Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice, "It's okay." ”

The woman shook her head and said, "What do you mean it's okay? It's you who is in trouble now." ”

Nie Qingqing smiled and said, "What trouble do I have." ”

The woman shook her head and said, "Are you smart or stupid? Say you're smart, but you can't see your danger clearly;

Nie Qingqing stared at the woman with a smile, and suddenly realized that her previous coldness was just a disguise to protect herself, and when these disguises were removed, she became a warm-hearted woman.

"I know everything, don't I just can't get out?" she whispered, "as long as he is safe, even if he is tied up here for the rest of his life, I am willing." ”

The woman shook her head, she didn't know what to say, and after a while, she said, "Then let's do it first, since you are not in a hurry, then I don't need to be in a hurry." ”

At this moment, her face changed suddenly, as if she had seen something terrible, her eyes widened, and the skin on her cheeks kept trembling.

Yin Hong's plump lips were trembling: "How is it possible, how can this be, how can it chase here?"

Nie Qingqing took her trembling hand and asked gently, "What's wrong?"

The woman said: "Something's wrong, something big, he's coming." ”

She tried her best to calm herself, but the trembling hands betrayed her, and her fear was palpable.

Nie Qingqing was about to say two words of comfort, when suddenly the surrounding scene was distorted, and she heard the woman shouting: "You are here! Where are you, come out quickly!"

A familiar hoarse laugh came from the void: "Green Calyx, you have sabotaged my plan again, do you think I will let you go?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding scene changed to the appearance of a blue palace, with eight stout columns, frescoes carved on both sides, and the golden throne, the bloody carpet, and the man sitting on the throne, or perhaps the nightmare.

Only then did Nie Qingqing know that the woman's original name was Lu Cao, she was wearing a green robe, and her body was trembling. Nie Qingqing was in front of Lu Calyx and said in a low voice: "It's okay, everything has me." ”

She could see the fear of the green calyx, but she didn't know what she was afraid of, at this moment, she was glad that she was ignorant, because she was ignorant, she was fearless, because she was fearless, so she dared to stand in front of the green calyx.

Of course, ignorance is also a sighing voice, because you don't know when you're going to die.

Is it the next moment, or this moment.

Nightmare burst out laughing, "Green Calyx, the spirit of the Soul Bell, do you still need a woman to stand in front of you?"

For some reason, the light suddenly dimmed, and although it was already dim, there was no doubt that it was even more dim than it was before.

If the light just now is still similar to the afterglow of dusk, at this moment it can only be called the reflection of moonlight.

The silver light shined through the blue window and calmly cast on Yin Hong's carpet, leaving mottled marks.

The nightmare's face seemed to become gloomy because of it.

The green calyx suddenly straightened up, stroked her palm and pushed Nie Qingqing away, took two steps forward, and met the nightmare head-on, she looked like she still had the fear she had just now, as if the poor person who was trembling before was not her, but someone else, someone else who was hidden in her heart.

She stared at Nightmare's distorted face and said slowly, "I'm coming—"

After only three words, he was interrupted by a nightmare: "You'll come sooner or later, don't you have a choice?"

Nie Qingqing didn't understand what it meant to have no choice, but in her opinion, the nightmare must be in her chest.

Green Calyx sneered and said, "I'm here, I should have come a long time ago, but it dragged on until this time, and I still have to ask you, I'm really sorry." ”

Nightmare smiled, a loud and hoarse laugh that echoed through the empty palace as if it shook the whole palace.

The next moment, the laughter abruptly stopped, and as if it appeared without warning, Nightmare whispered, "Do you mean to surrender to me completely?"

Green Calyx smiled coldly and said, "Ever since I became the spirit of the Soul Falling Bell, I haven't thought about surrendering. ”

As soon as she said this, there was immediately a cold air in the palace, the cold was amazing, the cold was biting-Nie Qingqing couldn't help but shiver twice.

It's not because of fear, it's just simple cold, not cold on the surface of the flesh, but cold that goes deep under the flesh and bones.

The light is dim, and such an environment should be cold.

Nie Qingqing didn't make a sound, she completely lost her position and identity to speak, and even she felt that the nightmare gaze didn't stay on her for a moment at all.

After a while, Nightmare said, "Green Calyx, since you are not here to surrender, you are my enemy, and you should know what will happen to you as my enemy. ”

Green Calyx sneered: "How don't you know?" After a pause, she pointed to the nightmare and said, "You, nightmare, the demon beast that has been breathing for a long time in the ancients, can only deal with poor people in this palace, am I right?"

A flash of anger flashed across Nightmare's face.

"Green Calyx, watch your words. ”

The green calyx laughed, sarcastic and cold.

"What's wrong with my words? I think it's too light to say that, you're a wretched, lowly, cowardly fellow. ”

At this point, Nightmare suddenly shouted, "Don't forget, I'm the one who wiped out your Shalabas!"

Nie Qingqing looked at the green calyx with a surprised face, she never expected that the green calyx turned out to be a member of the Shalaba clan.

Green Calyx glanced at Nie Qingqing, smiled bleakly, and said, "That's right, I am the princess of the Shalaba clan, and the young man who attacked you outside is my royal brother-"

At this point, she suddenly looked at the nightmare with an angry face, and shouted: "This is this guy! This guy used me to destroy the Shalabas, and I am a sinner of the Shalabas!"

Nightmare laughed and said, "You Shalaba people are known as the Dream Guardians, I don't know how many elites of my Nightmare Clan have hunted, and in the end, I am the only one left in Nightmares, and I just wiped out your entire clan." At this point, his voice suddenly softened: "Green Calyx, but I didn't deal with you after all, did I?"

Green Calyx sneered: "That's the spirit of the Soul Falling Bell that I sacrificed to the bell with my body, so that I would not be poisoned by you." ”

Nightmare laughed again, suddenly smiled, and said sadly: "If I want to deal with you, even if you are a machine spirit, there is no reason to survive." With a wave of his right hand, several bowl-thick vines suddenly sprouted from the soles of the green calyx's feet, instantly entangled her body.

The vine had barbs on it, and the moment it wrapped around the green calyx's body, it pierced into her skin, and she was dripping with blood all over her body, as if she was soaked in a sea of blood.

Nightmare said in a loud voice, "Well, Green Calyx, if I want to deal with you, you don't have the ability to resist at all. ”

Green Calyx sneered, "Nightmare, you are really naïve, do you think this is enough?" Her body shook, and the vines immediately made a fluttering sound, cutting off inch by inch. A milky white light surrounded the green calyx's body, and the wounds on its body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Bang! bang!"

Three disconnected and distinct applause rang out in the empty palace, it was the nightmare that applauded, Nie Qingqing couldn't see any anger on his face, he was laughing.

Nie Qingqing didn't understand why he was laughing, but the smile was so real that no one could question it.

"Yes, yes," Nightmare said, "I didn't expect that over the years, you haven't been wasted, although you are only a spirit body, you should have the level of concentrating at the late stage." ”

Late stage of contemplation!

Nie Qingqing was shocked in his heart, and secretly thought: "If Green Calyx is a master in the late stage of concentrating, the nightmare can make him so frightened, and he must be at least a master in the late stage of condensation." ”

Soon, Nie Qingqing's doubts were answered, and Lu Calyx said: "That's right, I'm already in the late stage of contemplation, but you're not bad, you haven't done your best just now, but you also have the late stage of contemplation, aren't you?"

Nightmare laughed and said, "Back then, you beat me to the ground with the power of the Soul Bell, and you must have thought that I would have to make a comeback one day. ”

Hearing the nightmare's words, Nie Qingqing was shocked in his heart, and said secretly: "I originally thought it was a wisp of remnant soul, but I didn't expect it to be beaten to a wisp of remnant soul." ”

"I thought about that. Her voice was a little deeper, "But I can't stop you." ”

Nightmare smiled: "You really don't have the ability, even in your heyday, you can't kill me, let alone after urging the Soul Falling Bell, you are also greatly injured." It's no wonder I've been using the Soul Bell all these years, and you've had no reaction. ”

Green Calyx smiled coldly and said, "Do you think you have a chance to win?"

Nightmare laughed, "Why not? The reason why you don't dare to come is not because you can't face me, but because you don't have the strength to face me at all, right?"

Green Calyx didn't move, and whispered, "Are you so sure?" She didn't look like she was completely dejected, but she looked like she was confident.

Even Nie Qingqing felt that she was confident, but at this moment, a green calyx's voice suddenly sounded in her ears: "I will lead him away from the throne in a while, you run to the back of the throne, there is a passage behind you, after you go out, after you go out, destroy my royal brother's body with the power of the five elements, and you can escape from the clutches of nightmares." ”
