Chapter 21: A Dream

In the early morning, a burst of birds chirped, and a ray of morning sun squeezed through the branches of the welcoming pine, squeezed into the half-open window, and shone on the cheeks of the man on the bed.

Shen Luo's eyelids twitched slightly, and he opened them a little, and then immediately raised his hand to cover his eyes.

"Hiss......"

As a result, when he raised his hand, a cramp-like muscle ache immediately hit, and his consciousness was immediately awakened.

A strong panic immediately rose from the bottom of his heart, and Shen Luo sat up from the bed, shrunk back, and hurriedly looked around.

I saw that on the wall not far in front of me, there was a narrow table, on which was piled with a pile of old books, and there was a window and door side by side not far from the table, all of which were so familiar and abnormal.

An expression of ecstasy appeared on Shen Luo's face, and he looked down at his body again.

The clothes were intact, and although the body was sore, there were no scars, which felt like the discomfort caused by excessive exercise.

A familiar smell of damp mildew mixed with sandalwood rushed into his nostrils, causing him to sneeze.

At this time, Shen Luo finally believed that he was in the residence of the Spring and Autumn View at the moment, not the gloomy ghost village.

"What happened last night was just a nightmare!" Shen Luo touched the real wooden bed under him, and let out a long breath, all kinds of situations last night were still vivid, and for a while he gave birth to an illusion that he was in a different world.

Shen Luo raised his sleeves and wiped his forehead, only to find that his forehead and sideburns had been soaked with sweat, and even his back was damp, some of which were attached to his back, and he felt very uncomfortable.

He sat on the bed for a while in a bit of a distraction, only to realize that he had already passed his usual time to get up, and he saw that even his morning cultivation homework was about to be delayed.

"It's just a dream...... Shen Luo muttered to himself in a low voice, as if to convince himself forcibly, and then moved and got out of bed.

Who would have thought that his feet had just stepped on the green cloth shoes, and as soon as he stood up, he felt that his legs were weak, and he actually fell straight forward, and when he tried to support his body with his arms, he found that his arms were as weak as they were, and he fell straight to the ground.

"Oops......"

Shen Luo let out a wail, struggled to get up from the ground, and sat back on the edge of the bed little by little.

At this time, he noticed that his body was really wrong, although his body bones were not very good, but now it was obviously very prostration.

"What the hell is going on?" he began to feel a little shocked in his heart, if it was just a simple sleep and a nightmare, it would never be like this.

In fact, since he was invaded by Yin Qi, Shen Luo has had many nightmares, and he has encountered all kinds of strange dreams, but now that he thinks about it, that feeling is completely different from what he experienced last night.

Besides, if it was really just a dream, how could his memory of the dream be so clear and real, and how could his body be so tired, it was as if he had really experienced a fierce fight.

But if it's not a dream, how can we explain it? Could it be that I really sleepwalked down the mountain, went to some village down the mountain, and then sleepwalked back again?

But this doesn't make sense, last night in that mountain village, he even lost his life, his body was even more scarred, and the clothes on his body were torn like rags, it should never be like this.

Thinking like this, Shen Luo's expression became cloudy, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what happened last night was too weird, and he felt that his head seemed to be a little bigger.

He rubbed his brow with his hand, leaned back, and simply lay back on the bed.

"Bang".

Shen Luo felt as if his head had touched something hard, and suddenly sat up again, and hurriedly turned around to take a look.

I saw that at the head of the bed, there was a rectangular yellow object, which was the "treasure" he had found earlier, the mysterious old jade pillow, and the original rattan pillow was squeezed aside and pressed against the wall.

Shen Luo was dumbfounded!

Last night, he slept on this jade pillow for a whole night, without knowing it!

But he clearly remembered that he put this thing on the table with the pile of ancient books before going to bed last night, how could it be on his bedside?

"Is it possible...... Does last night's nightmare have anything to do with it? Or is it an unclean thing in the jade pillow itself?"

He remembered that there was a record in "The Chronicle of Zhang Tianshi's Demon Surrender", saying that there was a scholar in Qi'an County, Lingnan, who picked up a bronze ancient mirror by the river when he went on a spring outing.

As a result, a female ghost was sealed in the mirror, and every full moon night came out of the mirror and absorbed his yang energy.

As soon as he thought of this story, Shen Luo couldn't care about the weakness in his body, hurriedly got out of bed, took the wolf cone from the table, poked over with the end of the pen, and gently poked the jade pillow on the bed.

The jade pillow moved backwards, and there was no abnormal light on it, nor did any evil ghosts pounce out, and it looked no different from ordinary things.

Shen Luo was still a little uneasy, took out a small porcelain bottle, poured out some cinnabar from it, rubbed his hands, and after staining the entire palm, he carefully stretched out an index finger and tapped the jade pillow with his fingertips.

Except for the cold touch of the jade pillow, there is still nothing abnormal.

"Don't be quietly possessed by some shadowy ghosts. ......" Shen Luo withdrew his hand, still frowning slightly, a little uneasy.

He thought for a while, glanced at the jade pillow, walked quickly to the door, sat cross-legged on the ground, hugged Yuan in both hands, kept his mind one, and began to silently operate Xiaohua Yang Gong.

It's just that he was a little distracted by last night's dream, and he wanted to keep his mind one at the moment, but he couldn't settle down for half a day, and it took two hours to finally run Xiaohua Yang Gong for a small week.

The exercises run very smoothly, and the yang qi in the body fills all parts of the body.

After finishing the exercise, Shen Luo slowly opened his eyes and exhaled lightly, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground.
