Chapter 50: Dream Zhao III
The unitary time is coming to an end.
It was already night, but the Golden Mansion was still brightly lit and noisy.
One by one, the officials were busy in and out of the courtyards and houses, and the momentum was like that of bandits, but it was not only the goods that moved out, but the big living people.
The banquet in the main hall in the front yard had been removed, and Bo Ziyu stood on the hall, looking at the old and young members of the Jinfu family and the male and female servants who were "sleeping" neatly on the ground, frowning.
Zhang Yi's slash was very painful, but in the end, he didn't know what kind of monster it was, and what kind of demon magic he cast? Let everyone in this golden mansion sleep to death, and they can't wake up no matter what.
"Go harder! hey, haha......"
The three servants snorted and carried a fat woman in and put down "Duang", leading the way to the waist pole.
"Straight thief mother, why is this female worm so fat?"
He complained a few times before reporting to Bo Ziyu.
"Team leader, all the thirty-seven people in this Jin Mansion are here. ”
Bo Ziyu said "um", turned his head and glanced at it, but said strangely:
"Where's the Dao Chief?"
The official was stunned.
"Which one?"
"Two!"
The official hurriedly replied:
"Daoist Feng has already sent someone to Shuiyue to visit, and he is probably still on the way, and he estimates that it is almost time to arrive. Li Daochang ......"
He looked into the corner of the courtyard, but it was empty, and his face suddenly showed confusion.
"Hey, it's weird, I'm still there. ”
............
Li Changan, who quietly disappeared, went into the backyard of the Jin Mansion alone.
The backyard is a typical southern garden style, with lush flowers and trees, and corridors turning.
He found a secluded place, leaning against a pink and white courtyard wall, which was inlaid with a huge leaky window, and through the vermilion lacquered wooden lattice, he could see that in the courtyard opposite, a large area of vine and rosewood flowers gave birth to a shallow light under the moonlight.
"Come out. ”
He didn't have a head to speak, but the other side of the window immediately responded.
Listening to the clothes, a red dress fluttered down.
Yu Mei still had that ghost face, leaning against the other end of the wall.
"When did it arrive. ”
"It's always there. ”
"Seen it all?"
"From start to finish. ”
Li Changan was a little tooth sore.
This Yu official can't be called out on weekdays, but when there is a monster, he can show up. Always a secret worker, she will not easily appear in front of people, and she will not let the Taoist priest reveal her existence.
But if you want to say how much effect her pretend mystery has, it is not necessarily, at least Feng Chong is faintly aware of it, but it is just because Li Changan's face has not been revealed.
Even though this secretive appearance is really unpleasant, there is one thing to say, she has indeed helped a lot, and the Taoist priest has nothing to say.
Li Changan is lazy, so he doesn't bother to delve into troublesome things, so he no longer bothered about Yu Mei's unpredictable whereabouts, and opened his mouth to get down to business, this person has always had a unique way of identifying monsters.
"The people in the house have been asleep, do you know why?"
"Yes. ”
Yu Mei's answer was always quick.
"Because this time, the youkai is a 'nightmare'. ”
"Impossible!"
As soon as he heard this word, Li Changan subconsciously retorted.
Nightmare is a kind of spirit born in a dream.
Frequent and rare.
It is said that it is often born with dreams, and it is said that it is rare because people's dreams are fragile and short-lived, and even with nightmares, they often die with dreams, and it is difficult to be troubled by people.
Such a weak monster who was born and died at night became a climate that only made people indulge in dreams and absorb a little essence, how could they drag the souls of dozens of people into dreams at the same time?
"People can become demons, ghosts can appear in the downtown area, why can't nightmares drag people's souls into dreams?"
Li Changan was speechless.
Truly.
The monsters in this Xiaoshui City are full of weirdness, and compared to it, the 'Nightmare' has become a thousand and eight hundred times more powerful, but it is not abrupt.
Moreover, in this way, the symptoms of drowsiness of people in Fuzhong can be explained.
The 'Nightmare' was originally formless and substantial, but the monsters in the city were all made of people, and they had an extra shell that shouldn't be there.
Zhang Yi's knife slashed the demon's body, and it also made it break free from the shackles, and the demon soul may have escaped into the dreams of the people in the mansion.
No wonder they couldn't wake up, it was the 'Nightmare' who was still alive!
Li Changan thinks that he is a Taoist priest who is a monk halfway, and he lacks the means and experience, but his face is still thick, and he honestly hugged his thighs at the moment.
"Lord Yu, can you subdue the demons and save everyone?"
Unexpectedly.
"No, you don't. ”
Yu Mei replied like this.
Her voice was always cold.
"I've investigated, and the only one in the Jin Mansion is controlled by the 'Nightmare', and the people around it have not been affected. As long as the people of the Jin Mansion are isolated and banned, this demon can be trapped without much effort. ”
It sounds like a no-brainer, but ......
"What will happen to the Jin family?"
Yu Mei's response had always been quick, but now he rarely hesitated for a long time.
"Dreams are thoughts, thoughts are souls......"
Her tone was a little hurried, as if to explain:
"The magic of this 'nightmare' is very difficult, and it is difficult for those who are dragged into its dreams to wake up through external forces, so they can only sneak into their dreams to fight with the 'nightmare'. That 'nightmare' was born in a dream, with the cultivation of you, me or that Feng Daoren, it is really too dangerous, why not take the opportunity to trap it and exchange a few mortals for the demon to quell it, wouldn't it be very cost-effective?"
Pay?
Truly.
There are very few people in Xiaoshui City who have the ability to fight demons, but there are many hidden demons, and it is really irrational to take risks for a mere "nightmare".
The Taoist priest nodded.
But it is.
"It's not a good deal. ”
However, Li Changan is "short-sighted" and can't look at the overall situation, let alone innocent suffering. So Yu Mei's bargain is not very cost-effective when it comes to him.
Yu Mei was choked with anger.
Time.
The courtyard only listened to her suppressed snort.
"Whatever you want. ”
She threw down a sentence stubbornly.
Then he heard the garments flying, and the man was gone.
"Dao Chief!"
But it was Bo Ziyu who hurried over with a lantern.
"I've been looking for you for a long time!" he complained, "Daoist Feng, they've already arrived, so I'm waiting for you." ”
............
"Weird!"
In the lobby.
Feng Chong squatted next to the Jin family and muttered.
"I've used all the sleep relief techniques and the magic breaking technique, why is this person not awake. What kind of monster is it?
"It's a nightmare. ”
"No way. ”
Feng Chong blurted out and turned his head, but it was Li Changan who walked in slowly.
"People can become demons, ghosts can appear in the downtown area, why can't nightmares drag people's souls into dreams?"
He used Yu Mei's words to refute Feng Chong and was also speechless.
Feng Chongteng got up and paced in the hall for a long time, pinching his fingers and chattering alone, looking inexplicable, and was about to ask, but he turned back suddenly.
"I have a sinister method. ”
"Actually...... Li Changan rubbed his stubble, "I also have a dangerous method." ”
As soon as the two of them combined, they found that Feng Chong's method was safer.
"I'll wait for the altar to open, and I will dream with my soul, and take the initiative to find the monster to fight. But I'm not good at cultivating, and the nightmare is weirdly tight, and I don't necessarily have to be its opponent in my dreams. Therefore, one of them needs to fall asleep at the same time, and wake up the people in the dream one by one while I am fighting with the nightmare. As long as the dream disappears, the nightmare will naturally be captured. ”
As he spoke, Feng Chong's words turned sharply, and his face was heavy.
"But there are dangers to it. I may not be able to completely entangle that demon, if I let it free my hand, I will definitely attack the latter, and if I am bewitched by its dreams, I am afraid that it will sink like the Jin family. ”
"I'll do it. ”
After Feng Chong finished speaking, Bo Ziyu gritted his teeth and took it.
"It's done, it's all easy to say. If it doesn't work, you can't put both Dao Masters in it. ”
Li Changan was about to speak, but next to him, Zhang Yi, who had been silent for a long time, stepped out.
"Leave it to me. ”
His reasoning is simple.
"If you want to share the bonus, you have to come in handy. ”
The courage of the two was commendable, but Feng Chong said "no" to them together.
These two people's minds must be resolute enough, but the more resolute ordinary people's minds are, the stronger their desires are often stronger, and they are easy to be taken advantage of by nightmares, and only people like Li Changan are the most suitable candidates.
So.
Half an hour later.
The altar was erected in the lobby, and the thirty-seven members of the Jin family around him had yellow talismans on their foreheads, and in front of them, Li Changan was sitting in the gossip array outlined by cinnabar.
Feng Chong repeatedly advised.
Remember, everything that comes after that is in vain. ”
Li Changan crossed his sword in his knee and said with a smile:
"Always be quiet. ”
............
At first, it was like falling into the abyss.
Then, the body fluttered, as if flying through the clouds.
When I came back to my senses, I was already in a strange room.
Under your feet is a solid bluestone brick floor, but when you step on it, it is empty, and there is no real feeling.
That's right, too.
After all, it's in a dream, and if it feels real, I'm afraid it's already been assimilated by the demon dream.
Li Changan pressed to his waist.
The sword is still there.
Wave it with you.
The robe has been added.
He didn't delay any longer, but pushed the door straight out.
Immediately, there was a dazzling sunshine in my face.
Ooh!
The Taoist priest looked at him with a blank eye.
On a big night, the sun is shining, and it is a clear and sunny day.
"Brother Dao, can you hear me?"
Feng Chong's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"I can hear you. Li Changan knew that the other party was fighting with demons, so he didn't say anything more, and asked directly, "How do you wake up the person in your dream." ”
Feng Chong's response came quickly.
"Demons lure people with sweet dreams, and it is easy to wake them up. ”
"Turn a dream into a nightmare. ”
Huh?
Li Changan raised his eyebrows.
Interesting.
I like it!
