Chapter 7: Talking about Dreams

Shen Yanping's gentle words woke him up: "Little Brother Pei, how did you wake up?" ”

Pei Ye was stunned for a while, did not hide it at all, and told his dream last night.

First, compared to the black cockroach who came inexplicably, Pei Li naturally trusts these familiar faces for more than ten years; Second, he didn't know anything about these miraculous things, so it was better to seek help from Shen Changjian.

However, to his disappointment, the three of them were also at a loss.

Feng Zhi frowned two thick eyebrows: "What does this have to do with dreamsβ€”what do you say, Shen Yanping?" ”

Shen Yanping also shook his head: "At least in the Xianrentai literature that I can come into contact with, I don't remember the immortal hunting that has a claw shape and can enter dreams. ”

Chang Zhiyuan said: "Then let's attribute it to the stimulation of pain for the time being, if you have a chance tonight, you can try to use pain to wake up the lost soul." ”

"There will be seven more tonight...... But it doesn't seem that this fire charm will appear in advance, so how can we discern what kind of person has more delicious flesh in the eyes of this 'god'? ”

The three of them were silent for a moment.

"I think it may be based on martial arts talent." Pei Ye suddenly said slowly.

Shen Yanping's eyes widened slightly: "Reasonable!" ”

Of course, martial arts talent is a combination of many factors, but the three of them here all understand that the boy refers to the quality of the 'dantian seed'.

Feng Zhi said goodbye: "I'll go and verify." ”

Chang Zhiyuan said: "Shen Changjian, the road out of the mountain was washed away by a flash flood, and the soul bird must send a message to Xianrentai." ”

"When I saw this ceremony at home, I had already released the soul bird, written down the urgency of the situation, and asked Xianrentai to be forwarded to the state government, and asked Jing Duwei to arrive as soon as possible."

Chang Zhiyuan sighed: "There are many people in the state who can defeat this murderer, but only Jing Duwei has the ability to come on time. ”

Feng Zhi quickly verified the identity of the victim and gave a positive answer.

"In that case, I'll leave it to the two of you first." Chang Zhiyuan thought for a while, put on a hat, and called someone to hand over a long cane and said, "I will now urge the county's notification and investigation, and concentrate the possible victims on the county government for protection." ”

"You're worried they're going to arrest someone early?"

Chang Zhiyuan nodded: "We can't know if they have already locked on twelve candidates, or if they didn't select seven people by their 'gods' until the ceremony began. If it's the former, they might want to grab someone before help arrives. ”

"However, even if Feng Zhi and I make all the preparations, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch a few of his tricks." Shen Yanping said in a low voice, "Even if you gather these people in the county office, it may ...... It's just a net."

Chang Zhiyuan was silent for a moment: "You can't sit back and watch the murderers brutalize the people." At least, it would kill up to three of us, and if we left them at home, seven families would die. It is not known how many neighbors are affected. ”

Shen Yanping nodded heavily.

Pei Ye clenched his fists and said, "Adults, I also want to go home first." ”

"Yes, but you have to go back to the county office as soon as possible to receive protection." Chang Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Xiao Pei, Lord Lin and I have talked about you...... Please mourn, the murderer this time is too dangerous, don't ...... Don't take matters into your own hands. ”

Pei Ye was silent for a moment: "Don't worry, Master Chang, I am self-aware." ”

Without waiting for Chang Zhiyuan to reply, "tearing and pulling" tore off a cloth belt and wrapped it around his forehead indiscriminately, and strode south.

Although the rain pain that has been drenched all night has been lucky not to attack, it does not mean that you can be lucky all the time, now the abdomen is already faintly uncomfortable, if the rain does not stop tonight, it will definitely attack once, Pei Li has to go to get wine and medicine.

Walking on the street, Pei Ye pondered, although the three adults all held a relatively negative attitude, but the conjecture about the dream still made his heart sway, and every one of those conversations was vivid.

If there is such a mantle, where does it come from?

"One is prosperous, one is lost", is his fate bound to it to some extent?

He remembered the phrase "It's all up to you what happens next", which means that there is still yourself among the seven people tonight?

Last night's lost soul was the cockroach that woke him up, and tonight obviously won't have the same help, according to what it said, he must use the so-called [quail head] in order to resist the 'immortal king's summoning spirit'.

So where to find the method to use?

Fate ......

Pei Ye frowned, he did feel that the word "quail" had a sense of familiarity that was difficult to grasp.

For Pei Li, who rarely reads, the word "quail" that is not commonly used is definitely not seen often, so he has an impression when he sees it once in a while, but this impression is too vague, Pei Ye thought about it for a long time, but he really couldn't remember it.

However, it is precisely because of the lack of reading that I have read a number of books, and there are no two literacy books at home, most of which I saw when I read the story in the county government house and took advantage of Uncle Lin's convenience.

When you return to the county office, you can rummage through it.

On the way back, Pei Ye tried several mantras and fingers to try to activate the so-called "fruit", but there was no response, until he felt that he was chattering as if he was like an old incense, and Pei Ye let go of this section.

Cross the main street to the south of the city, and soon return to the familiar alleys.

After coming to the door of the house, Pei Ye did not go in, but went directly to the adjacent courtyard gate.

In addition to taking wine and medicine, Pei Li has to do two things when he goes home, the first is one day in Hedong and one day in Hexi, he wants to ask Lao Xiangzi to tell him the story of "big ears become immortals" for himself; The second is to ask Grandpa Yue if he knows anything about the symbol.

There was no bolt on the broken wood door, only tied with a rope, Pei Ye tore it off and pushed it open, and strode in.

The already narrow yard was a mess, leaving only a path leading to the house.

"Old Xiangzi!" Pei Ye shouted, but no one answered.

Pei Ye walked to the hut, and as soon as he pushed the door, he smelled a heavy musty and damp smell, and a black smoke rose on the ground, which was scattered and blackened.

This small room looks like a strange Buddha hall, with patches of dirty oil stained with the smiling Buddha in the center, a smaller Arhat Bodhisattva statue poured on the table, and two extinguished incense sticks on the incense burner.

In the corner, there are three Qing Daozun, Confucius and Mencius sages and the second master, the God of Wealth, Lu Zu, the God of the Stove and the like, which can be said to have everything that should be, but many of them have decayed, and some have spots of mildew, even a few relatively intact ones are covered with a thick layer of ash.

There were only three rooms in the hut, and when Pei Li pushed it open, it was empty. One room was littered with messes, and in the other lay a bed made of stone with a greasy quilt spread out on it.
