I roughly determined which side was north by the direction of the setting sun and the general orientation and luxuriance of the weeds on the ground, so I thought about Yanshi as I walked north.

The Yanshi said that the yellow beads were green god pollen. The green god is probably a reference to the name of the giant flower I saw last time in the dream world - or maybe it's just a categorical adjective. After all, Yanshi and some previous "insiders" had mentioned that it seemed dangerous for an individual to have a name.

The ground here seems to be full of life, soft and moist, and there are crumbs of flesh similar to those that Yanshi has just turned into, and it feels strange to the feet. Occasionally, some plants can be seen, mostly weeds or low shrubs, and the battery bushes are rarely visible, as they are common in the wasteland or even in the previous dream world.

So now there's a bold guess -

There should be some kind of one-to-one correspondence between the dream world and the spatial location of the wasteland. Entering the Dream World at the Little Denon Temple and entering the Dream World at the Big Denyin Temple appear in different places. The abbot said that a special place called the Water Mountain was in the north of the Holy City, and the Yanshi said that their site was built on the north side—I have good reason to suspect that it was actually the same location of the "Equal Person".

Hey? Why is it that every time I enter the dream world, I am in a Buddhist temple?

I frowned, spotting the commotion.

Is it a coincidence? I made up my mind to wake up and stay in the Holy City for the day tomorrow, and then spend another night in the Great Electric Tone Temple to see if I would enter the dream world again.

Back to the point. Master Liyang once said: "The source prison is the phantom of the holy city, the real past, the world of dreams, and the wreckage of war." ”

Yanshi said that there was a cataclysm a hundred years ago, which may be related to the war in the mouth of Master Yang. Maybe it was the war that caused the cataclysm, maybe the cataclysm caused the war, or maybe the cataclysm simply referred to the war itself.

But to be honest, I don't really understand the "phantom of the holy city" and the "real past" in Master Yang's mouth, shouldn't the phantom and the real contradict each other?

If it's real, what's the illusion? What is both virtual and real?

Given that Master Sheep clearly knows something, I don't think it's pretending.

It is clear that something must have happened in this world.

I stopped and walked to look at the desolation around me and sighed. The last time there were some ruins, mechanical monks fighting strange plants, but there was nothing here. Oh yes, last time I had a doctor with me, this time it wasn't, I'm alone.

Hmm, war. War?

I looked down at my feet. Fragments of mechanical creations and crumbs of strange flesh that have been eroded to the smallest point still exist in every inch of the land. I've come a long way off, and there are still traces on the ground that I have to ignore.

There is such an eerie peace here, is it that the war has not affected it, or is it ...... Completely destroyed by that war?

I highly doubt it's the latter. But what kind of war can annihilate things into a plain wilderness that is almost empty? It has even lasted for a hundred years, and until now, there is still a certain scale of battle near the coordinates of the dream world corresponding to the small electric sound temple.

Something special must have happened a hundred years ago that led to all this. I think so.

After walking for a while, I gradually felt unwell. My head seemed to start aching, not noticeable, but it was as if there was a strange force stirring slowly in it, which made me uncomfortable. It's nothing, the point is that I heard a strange sound in my ears too-

That doesn't seem to be the right thing to say either...... In very quiet environments, people will hear some background sounds, which are usually present, but they are so small that people mostly ignore them. In very quiet times, when attention is focused on this background sound, it will appear "very noisy" - it can be bells, buzzing, whistles, air whistles, insect chirping, etc. The strange sound I hear now is like an amplified version of this background noise.

I'm pretty sure it's not your average tinnitus, but the background noise is a bit unusual.

I stopped, squinted and looked around. There are no fleshy monsters.

It's weird.

The Yanshi only reminded me in the last moments of his life to be wary of the flesh-mass monster, but did not say that this situation should also be wary of - it did not affect my ability to get the metal sheet into the hands of its companions.

I should still be safe.

I rubbed my hands together. Due to the strange changes of the Yanshi, I was afraid that I would also become a strange mass of flesh and blood. Thankfully, I'm fine so far.

After walking a little further, I saw a building standing on the plain in the distance. The black spire towers hang high above it, and the pitch-black tone of the castle forms a natural picture with the night canopy, but the collapse of the wall shows that it has been without its defenders for a long time.

I trotted closer to the castle. This should be the site that the Yanshi was talking about.

The castle is architecturally similar to some of the buildings I've seen in the last time I've seen in the dream world, and it still seems to have some of its "décor", such as broken stained glass left in a window on one of the walls.

The castle gate was open, and I was able to walk in with ease, which made me wonder if there was any of the Yanshi's companions inside. There are also two stone statues at the door, but they are very different from the previous sheep statues, and the two here are Peugeot geometric figures, one resembling a yang horse and the other looking like a turtle. The statue is very undamaged, and it seems that the material is not ordinary

After staring at the statue for a while, I went into the castle to find out.

And so happened - I turned the castle up and down again, and found that it was the same as the last time I explored it with the doctor, as empty and empty. However, my headache and abnormal tinnitus seem to have eased somewhat.

"Isn't this the site that the Yanshi said it was?" I began to gradually suspect that I had come to the wrong place.

On the way back to the first floor from the top of the spire, I suddenly remembered that the castle I went to before had a basement - and this castle of a similar format should also have it!

With my impressions, I rubbed my way to the secret door. The secret door that was discovered by the doctor before was hidden under the dilapidated carpet, but here it is good, even the carpet is gone, and the secret door has become a bright door.

It took some effort for me to open the secret door.

There was some light shining through it. It's the lights.

If there are lights, it means that most of them are people. I immediately climbed the ladder under the entrance.

The Yanshi side seems to know a lot of things, and I think I should be able to figure out the cause and effect of some things here.

"Stop."

At this moment, suddenly a stop came from somewhere in the basement—
