At dusk, the earth is golden. In the distance, a waterfall falls from a high mountain full of yellow leaves, like a golden curtain. The water flows through the chasm of the dark passage and finally merges into the turquoise water. The lake rises steeply on all sides, and you can't see the deep water when you stand on the shore. The silent sideways laughter, the mountains and rivers behind him, and the golden trees and silver flowers beside him instantly solidified into a beautiful photo. Deng Ke put down the camera, took out the photo and happily showed it to Mute to watch, but Mute didn't look at the photo and turned around and ran under a tree to take a picture there. Deng Ke raised his camera and was about to take a picture, when he suddenly woke up. It was pitch black, and it was as silent as death.

"Where is this?" he thought, "am I already dead?"

"Daru Huma!" a boy suddenly shouted in front of him, putting his hand on his heart as he put his hand on his heart. Deng Ke was almost scared to death, and he saw two eyes with green light looking at him. After he calmed down, he remembered to ask:

"Who are you and what are you doing?"

The boy seemed to be concentrating on something, but did not answer, and after a moment, he withdrew his hand.

"Hadahada, you have finally woken up, your will is too weak, and the evil spirits have been on you for a long time, and I have only now completely eliminated them. The boy said seriously.

Deng Ke understood, it turned out that he had just been haunted by nightmares, and it was this boy who saved him, but it sounded like how could a boy with a young grade have such great ability?

"You saved my life, thank you. Deng Ke said. "But who are you?"

"No thanks, it's my vocation. After speaking, the boy stretched out his hand and shook the lamp, "I'm Tushen, it's the first time we meet, please take care of me." ”

"Hello, Tsutoshen. My name is Zhan Dengke, please take care of me. Deng Ke responded politely.

"Oh, Zhan Dengke, strange name. Can I call you Dengke?" Dengke didn't agree, "Dengke, hello." "There is one thing that must be clarified just now, I didn't save your life, I just helped you drive away the nightmare. ”

Deng Ke smiled, "If you don't help me drive away the nightmare, I'll die, why isn't this saving my life?"

That's not true. Tushen said, "If I don't help you exorcise the evil spirits, you won't die, but I'm afraid that you will hurt all the bad spirits." ”

"What are these words?" thought to the lamp, "Let's just say that I have a living soul shield, and I won't do any harm to the nightmares, not to mention that these nightmares are all evil guys, even if I kill them, what can I do?"

"Ahh

"Don't move!" Tu Shen grabbed Lan Ke and put a hand on Lan Ke's heart again. "Listen to me, don't be afraid, try to relax. ”

Dengke tried to do what he said, but he couldn't, he panicked and wanted to run around.

"Don't move, close your eyes, be quiet!" Tsuchishen forced Lamp Ke to lie down, "Listen, if you have bad intentions, those bad spirits will find you again." So, you have to keep your mind at peace and purity, so that they will stay away from you. ”

Tushen pressed the mouth of the lamp Ke's heart, "Don't pay attention to those voices, now, do what I say." ”

Deng Ke gasped sharply and nodded.

"Take a deep breath and relax your whole body. After Tu Shen finished speaking, Deng Ke took a big breath. He felt a little better, and the noise seemed to be a little quieter.

"Imagine yourself in a void space where there is nothing but yourself floating around. Tu Shen's voice became a little ethereal, and it was as if he saw himself floating in the air with his eyes closed.

"Make this imaginary real, because in reality there is really no one here but me and you anymore, just a vast space, and those voices don't exist at all. Tu Shen spoke slowly and long, as if he was preaching some kind of faith. Lamp Ke tried to feel this state, and slowly opened his eyes, and the voices were gone.

"I really can't hear it! it's so spiritual!" he said happily.

"You did it so quickly, it means that your heart is still pure. Remember, don't have any bad thoughts again, or you'll have to repeat the process to get rid of those bad spirits. "Tu Shen said very seriously. "And it's going to get longer and longer, and it may not work in the end. ”

"Didn't you say those nightmares don't exist?" Lamp Ke was surprised, "but why did they still find me?"

"They are ghosts made of all the evils of the world, you will never see them, and under normal circumstances, they will not affect you in any way. It's like not existing. But I say this mainly to make you no longer afraid. "The head of what Tu Shen said is the Tao.

"That means they really exist?" said Dengke, frightened, "but can't you help me get rid of them, why do you need me to do those things?"

"I can help you when you're unconscious, because you're not conscious. But when you wake up, you have your own consciousness, and I can't help you unless you pass out again. Tsuchibu explained.

"I still don't get it. "You said that there are only the two of us here, so you also committed a crime and were pressed here to be punished?"

"Yes. Tushen sat down beside Dengke, "I was the last one to be locked up here before you, otherwise, those people before me wouldn't have died." ”

"Are you saying that the people who came here before you are dead?" he sat up, "why do you know how to deal with the Nightmares?" he was even more puzzled.

Tu Shen smiled and said, "Because I have studied the mental method, I know that the root of these evil spirits is the evil qi of the world, as long as the heart is clear and calm." So, I don't need to do anything at all, those bad spirits can't hurt me. ”

"Oh!" Lamp Ke couldn't help but admire the boy. "Why are you locked up here with such high skills?" he wondered. "Have you sinned too?"

"I don't have any skills, but I just happen to be able to use them against the Nightmares. Tu Shen said modestly, "If you deal with those cold mountain people and Lu people, it will be far worse." ”

"Huh, what do you mean?" Lamp Ke was a little weak when he heard this, because he was also a lander.

"I confronted the Captain of the Land Clan, who could not stand the inhuman oppression of our Depression people, and in the end, he handed me over to the Lengshan people for disobedience to orders. The Lengshan people brought me here without figuring things out, wanting me to be tortured to death by nightmares. But they didn't know that I was still alive. Tsuchibuka laughed as he spoke.

"You're the first to disobey orders?" he asked.

"I guess so. Tushen said.

"But they said you only stayed with the nightmare for one night and then died. Deng Ke said.

"Hahaha. "That's what they think, because most people do." I've heard my dad say that. ”

"And how long have you been here?" asked Dengke.

Tushen thought for a moment, "It feels like it should have been a year." "You know, it's hard to time here. ”

"A year!" called out in surprise, "are you alone?"

"Yes," said Tsuchibu, "I was so bored when I first came here that I had no choice but to try to talk to the Nightmare." After chatting, I realized that they are not bad, but they are forced to be helpless to become bad, they are all poor guys, and I like them now. He said happily.

Deng Ke swallowed, "Then what do you eat and drink, does someone bring you food?"

"Hahaha," Toshen laughed again, "There will be someone here to bring food?" ”

"Then what did you eat to survive for so long?" asked Lamp Ke puzzled.

"I don't have to eat or drink here, and I won't die here, and neither will you, you'll know after a long time. "It's as if I'm talking about something very common.

"What are you talking about?" Lamp Ke shook his head, "You're kidding." ”

"You think so. "Of course, it is difficult for the Lu people to understand these things. ”

"Do you know I'm from Lu?"

"I can smell it. Tushen pointed to his nose, "Still, you still seem to have a bit of a slump smell." He laughs.

Deng Ke sniffed himself, nothing special.

"By the way," Tushen looked at Dengke, "I haven't asked you how you got here." ”

"I was the second person to disobey orders. He held out two fingers in the darkness. The two of them laughed heartily.

After a while, Deng Ke said:

"Listening to your voice, you don't seem to be very old, 12 years old?"

"I guess there is. "I was 11 years old when I first came in, and it was two years before the completion of the Temple of Ulla. ”

"Do you come to do hard labor at such a young age, don't you have to go to school?" asked Dengke.

"Going to school?" Tsuchibuka didn't seem to understand. "My mom and dad died, and I was the eldest in the family, so I had to work. Otherwise, our whole family will not have any income, and we will all starve to death. ”

Deng Ke looked at him sympathetically, "Then you are here now, what should you do at home?"

"My sister has grown up, and she was able to earn a wage before I came here. "Toshen is proud.

Deng Ke smacked his lips, "Then what are you going to do in the future?"

"Why do you have so many questions? We're going to get out of here someday. Be patient, though. Tushen said as he stood up, he seemed a little annoyed.

"What are you going to do?" asked Lamp Ke.

"Let's go, I'll take you to dance with the Nightmares. "This is a game I just developed recently, and it's very fun." As he spoke, he grabbed Lantern Ke's wrist and pulled him up.

"What?" Deng Ke was shocked, "Don't be afraid, they are much friendlier than the Lengshan people and the captain of the Lu people. Tu Shen dragged the lamp Ke towards a darker place.

"Wait!" Lamp Ke struggled, "I have one last question to ask. ”

"What?" Tsuchibuka turned his head.

"Like, can I not dance with the Nightmare?" said Lamp Ke.

"Hehe," Tushen smiled, "No!" he said dryly.
