Chapter 14: Zhu Jiuqin's Dream
[Nine Qinxian brothers see the words as they are:
This letter may be able to be delivered to you, but it is more likely that it was lost halfway, after all, it is still difficult for a letter to be delivered to a person across the ocean.
As you said, the buildings I saw in my dream are indeed the construction style of this country, and the locals seem to like cherry blossoms very much, you are really well-informed, and you can be so familiar with places that you have never been to, and I don't think there is a person as knowledgeable as you in the whole of Daliang.
Brother Fool still hasn't gotten rid of that illness lately, and now he's been a little ...... According to you, it's just a bit of a nervous breakdown, and I can't wait to find Sakurako-sama.
To tell you the truth, even now, I can't believe that I fell in love with a foreign girl in a dream, but I have never been to this country, but I have dreamed of the houses of this country in my dreams, and even know something about their demeanor, which is no longer a phenomenon that can be explained by coincidence.
The language barrier is a big problem, but I learned a few words of the language of the Shonichi Kingdom from Sakurako-girl in a dream, and I can use it.
I found a local guide and asked him to take me to someone while learning Japanese from him.
He looked at the portrait of the mansion I had drawn and said that it was the residence of a great name.
But the daimyo in their mouth is a little different from what you described, you said that the daimyo is the title of the person who has a lot of territory in this country, but in fact the daimyo is the head of a country, and this Shori country is divided into many small countries.
In addition, there is no such thing as the emperor you mentioned, and the old man who gave me my guide said that the emperor ruled the Shori Kingdom, but the Shohi Kingdom has been in constant war and has never been unified.
This kind of thing makes me feel very strange, since it has never been unified, why is there such a name as the country of Zhengri?
I would be able to understand if this island was called Shohi Island, but since no one could unify the country, how did the name of this country, which encapsulates all countries, come to be recognized by the daimyos? 】
Su Lin looked at the letter in front of him, his mind was very clear, and he knew that he was in a dream.
But this dream is very strange, he is reading a letter, and he now seems to be the founding emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom, Zhu Jiuqin.
Su Lin couldn't see his face, he could only see his hands and body, and he couldn't manipulate it freely, as if he had borrowed the perspective of the owner of this body.
This should be Zhu Jiuqin's body, and the time is the era before Zhu Jiuqin destroyed Daliang and founded Daxia, and the person who wrote the letter seems to have a good relationship with Zhu Jiuqin, and he is commensurate with brothers.
Su Lin saw Zhu Jiuqin put down the letter, and then picked up another piece of stationery.
[Nine Qinxian brothers see the words like face:]
In the first line of words, Su Lin found that the handwriting had become very sloppy, and the paper seemed to be crumpled.
[On the way to find Sakurako Girl, I and my guide encountered a demon.
Brother Xian, Brother Wei is not talking crazy things, I have encountered a real demon, a little ghost with a blue face and fangs and horns on the top of his head.
That day, my guide and I were climbing over Dream Mountain when we heard a man crying for help.
At that time, I wanted to go to the rescue, but the guide said that in this kind of deep mountain and old forest, I should not respond to any stranger's voice, and even stay away, because the person calling for help is probably not a human, but a demon.
If it was me in the past, maybe I would have listened to the other party's dissuasion, but after all these years of getting along with you, I no longer believe in those legends of strange powers.
I insisted on helping the caller, but the guide tried to stop him.
But in the end, he was willing to go with me to find out, and he changed the direction of his journey according to the position from which the cry for help came, and after we crossed a stream, the cry for help became clearer and clearer, and after splitting a bush of thorns, I saw a man leaning against the back of a large tree, and the sound was made by him.
I didn't think much of it at the time, and if I had to choose now, I would definitely listen to the old man's dissuasion.
But then it was too late, and here I must tell you that demons are real! They are real!
When I walked around the tree and saw the person calling for help, my mind stopped thinking because what I saw turned my life upside down.
The guide screamed in fright, and before I could react, he turned and disappeared into a bush.
I stood stiffly in place, looking at the monk in front of me.
He sat with his back against the tree, his monk's robe was rudely torn, his chest and abdomen seemed to be torn apart by the claws of an animal, and his ribs and abdomen were turned outward, revealing the internal organs in his abdominal cavity.
I have never seen a person's internal organs, but I can recognize that the other person's internal organs are missing a lot, he has no intestines and stomach, only two lungs are constantly agitating, except for the trachea that connects the lungs, I can't find the heart, kidneys and liver.
This is a disembowelmented man, he should be dead.
But when he saw me, he smiled and opened his mouth to shout, "Here's coming!" People are coming! ”
I was so frightened that I moved on my own, and I ran out in a random direction.
My feet seemed to be moving on their own, and the sound behind me was getting farther and farther away, but it was still clear, I fell several times, my hands and face were all bloody, I didn't care about looking at the road under my feet, I just ran away with all my might.
As I was running through the thick trees, I heard something running not far from me, and it seemed that they were only separated from me by a layer of leaves, and if I lifted the leaves, I could see what was following me.
I didn't want to, but the bushes next to me parted by themselves, and the face was exposed to me, and I had just taken a nap for a moment, and still dreamed of the face in my dreams, which was covered with rough particles, with two fangs sticking out of the lips, slanted in the direction of the upward lips, and rhinoceros-like horns on the top of the head.
It is scrawny and short, but its palms and feet are surprisingly large and full of sharp claws.
I can't tell you how it felt, I knew it was staring at me, but that gaze wasn't the same as that of a beast, it was running so fast that if it hadn't been for him dragging the guide's body, it would have caught up with me.
I looked at the demon for about a few breaths, and suddenly it stretched out its hand, and the ugly claws grazed my back, and I felt a burning pain, like a knife cutting through fire, maybe its claws and hands were barbed, and when the claws left my back, I could clearly feel the flesh being pulled and pulled.
In the end, of course I didn't die, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to write to you here.
At the last moment, the guide's body seemed to get stuck in a crack in the stone, tearing it apart.
I kept running forward without looking back, and I heard the sound of running behind me disappear for a moment, and then I felt the other party approaching behind me at a speed far faster than just now, shuttling through the trees, and now that I think about it, it must have temporarily put down the corpse.
But it was then that I heard a woman's cry from a distant forest.
The voice was like a cry, mournful and terrible, she kept repeating the word "Su Lin", the tail note was very long, and the shouting was accompanied by a long trill, which reminded me of the whale moan I heard when crossing the sea.
It's the closest I can think of to describe it, but the sound is so different from a whale's call that it's creepy, and the hairs stand on end, not like an animal.
At the same time as I heard the voice, the footsteps behind me stopped, and I ran forward frantically, and I don't know how long it was, until the footsteps and the strange screams disappeared in my ears, and I resumed my thoughts.
Now that I think about it, I feel that the two words shouted by that voice are very similar to the names of people in Daliang Kingdom.
The people of Zhengri Kingdom do not take this kind of name, and when I inquired around, the local residents had never heard of the word "Su Lin".
It's been three days since this happened, and when the letter arrives to you, maybe I'll already see Sakurako-sama.
If Sakurako wants, I'll take her back to Oliang ......]
Su Lin was still reading, and before the letter reached the end, suddenly there was a sound of a metal ring slamming the door outside the door, and Zhu Jiuqin folded the letter paper and put it back in the drawer, causing Su Lin to not be able to see the last few paragraphs.
He followed Zhu Jiuqin to stand up from the desk and walked out.
Along the way, Su Lin observed the environment of the mansion, and the place where Zhu Jiuqin lived seemed to be in good condition, at least not like a poor family, but the place was not big, and after walking a few steps out of the door, he came to the gate.
Su Lin followed Zhu Jiuqin to the door, removed the deadbolt, and slowly opened the two wooden doors.
A cold-lit knife slashed through the crack in the door and slashed at his forehead!
"it!"
Su Lin gasped and sat up from the bed, his back was already soaked with cold sweat, his mouth was dry, and his forehead seemed to have the cold and sharp touch of the blade.
"Meow~~"
There was a cat meow in the backyard, Su Lin opened the window next to the bed, and saw the black cat last night, the black cat's green eyes looked at Su Lin for a moment, turned around and climbed down the courtyard wall, and disappeared from view.
His thoughts slowly calmed down, Su Lin came back to his senses, and suddenly felt a soft thing slowly squirming under him, Su Lin slowly frowned, and grabbed a corner of the quilt......
