Chapter 30: The Soul Returns
When Bai Chu came back to his senses, he was already in another place.
Visitors are like weaving, the willows spit green, and the grass grows and the warbler flies in February. Rows of willow trees droop into the water, and the surface of the water ripples faintly.
Bai Chu stood on the stone bridge, looking at all this in front of him in confusion.
This place ...... It's kind of familiar.
Fuyan stood behind Bai Chu and looked into the distance, but he didn't see anything, and there was only smoke and rain in the distance.
Not far away, shouts came and went.
"Sake Brewed Cake ~ Freshly baked Sake Brewed Cake ~ Fragrant and soft Sake Brewed Cake ~"
"Sock sole crisp ~ come buy sock sole crisp ~ "
"Rock sugar gourd ~ sweet and sour rock sugar gourd ~"
Wu Nong's soft words followed the spring breeze, accompanied by a light rain, and little by little it went into Bai Chu's heart.
Bai Chu walked and walked around, not at all flustered as he had when he had just entered the unfamiliar area twice. Fuyan was a little surprised: "This time the place doesn't seem to be Chang'an." ”
Bai Chu nodded: "This is the place where the wind goggles will follow his master to lecture the scriptures." ”
Fuyan was stunned and asked, "Have you been to this place?"
"Uh-huh, the first time I met him, it was here. ”
I've been here, not only have I been here, but I'm also very familiar.
Bai Chu walked around casually, observing the pedestrians coming and going on the street. A sense of familiarity came over me.
It's as if everything here has happened before. Even the shouts of the pastry stall owners are exactly the same.
In view of the previous two failures, Fuyan was a little bottomless. She didn't know what was wrong, but it was obvious that something was wrong in the dream.
It is too risky to quit directly, and you can only take one step at a time.
Besides, according to Bai Chu's temperament, it was impossible for her to give up looking for goggles so easily.
The sun is shining slightly, the street is peaceful, and everyone is happy.
In the blink of an eye, Bai Chu ran to the pastry stall to buy the steaming pastries that had just come out of the oven.
Fuyan was a little ridiculous, and she stepped forward to grab her: "Didn't you just eat......"
The next moment, the hand directly penetrated Bai Chu's body.
Fuyan looked at his hand, then at Bai Chu, and his heart was at a loss.
This...... What's wrong again?
"Bai Chu?" Fuyan tentatively called Bai Chu, who was holding the pastry for some reason, greedy like a little mouse.
However, there was no response.
The warm sunlight that I had just felt instantly became cold. Fuyan's heart also shuddered slightly: this situation ...... Is it a spontaneous protection mechanism in the goggles dream, or is it set up by Bai Chu?
It's not that she suspects Bai Chu, it's just that although there are small flaws in the first two dreams, she can still control the general direction.
This time, I was transparent, and no one else could even hear my voice. What the hell is going on!
Fuyan was struggling, she wasn't sure if Bai Chu did it, reason told her that Bai Chu was very likely, and another voice in her heart retorted in a low voice: "What if, isn't it?"
Another voice retorted coldly: "Have you forgotten the fate of easily believing in others before?"
The voice still didn't give up: "But Bai Chu is different." She...... Will come to me"
"We'll see. ”
The slightest unrealistic wish in my heart slowly shrinks in this space that seems to have been reopened, and I am on the verge of death.
Fuyan sneered, infinitely bitter and a little ridiculous in his heart.
Laugh at yourself for not being self-conscious, laugh at yourself for wishful thinking, laugh at yourself for being easy to mistake others.
When Fuyan allowed his negative emotions to erupt and feel sorry for himself, his shoulder was suddenly gently patted.
"What's wrong with you?"
Fuyan had never felt that Bai Chu's voice was so good.
She turned around suddenly, saw Bai Chu's eyes shining, and her voice tightened: "Where did you go just now?"
Bai Chu was a little helpless: "Didn't you just say that you haven't been here, I want to buy you some of our specialties here." ”
Fuyan looked at her empty-handed: "What about the features?"
It's okay not to mention this, but Bai Chu puffed up angrily: "What do you still say! I went to buy pastries just now, and there were a lot of people queuing, and when I got to me, I kept telling him that he ignored me, and when I reached out to grab him, I found that I went straight through! Is there something wrong with this dream?"
Seeing Fuyan smiling bitterly, Bai Chu already understood in his heart, sighed, and asked, "Then what should we do now?"
Before, you could move freely to find the goggles, but now that you have found it, what to do next.
Bai Chu was very worried.
Fuyan suddenly thought: "I just ...... Looks like I saw you. ”
"What?" Bai Chu was a little confused.
"I saw you just now, and when I called you, it penetrated your body directly. ”
Fuyan and Bai Chu glanced at each other, both knowing what this meant.
Bai Chu muttered, "Could it be that this is a replay of what happened before?"
Does that mean that nothing has changed?
Bai Chu pulled the floating smoke, walked hurriedly, and said as he walked: "If that's the case, then we can catch up with the wind goggles and they preach the scriptures." ”
Fuyan was haunted by this question: "If it is a replay of what happened before, then he is also a former person, and we can't touch it." ”
When Bai Chu heard this, he immediately deflated and said, "Then what should we do next? The first two times, we can only come to the next layer of dreams if we come into contact with the goggles." ”
Fu Yan thought for a moment and said, "Let's take a step by step, since you don't have a clue, let's find the goggles first." ”
Bai Chu nodded, pulling the floating smoke and riding the dust.
When I arrived at the place, the sermon had just begun.
I saw an incense burner on a big table in front of me, and the green smoke in the incense burner rose up.
The monk sat on the mat and turned the Buddha beads to recite words, and the head of the host was white, and he had a pair of kind eyebrows and kind eyes, which was quite solemn.
The goggles sat in the middle, reciting the scriptures with a calm demeanor, unheard of the numerous and chattering comments made about him.
Bai Chu saw that everything was familiar, and the wrongness in his heart was rolling bigger and bigger like a snowball, but he couldn't find an outlet.
The noisy crowd, the murmuring of the scriptures, the little girl's red and willow green waving in the wind, everything.
There is not a single problem.
What is wrong? Bai Chu had a headache.
Suddenly, Fuyan poked Bai Chu, and asked a little sourly, "Who is the person talking to you next to you?"
Bai Chu raised his head, looked around for a week and said, "No...... Are you?"
Floating Smoke: "...... Opposite, you, opposite!"
Bai Chu followed her line of sight and was puzzled: "How can there be me on the other side, there is only one big sister talking......" The two glanced at each other.
Bai Chu was shocked, she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't find where it was.
It turned out that it was herself who was wrong.
This scene is familiar, it is something that I have experienced before.
That...... What about your former self?
Why can you see the smoke and others, but you can't see it?
Suddenly, the rosary in the hand of the calm wind mirror was scattered all over the ground.
He raised his eyes and stared straight at where the two of them were.
After a pause, the goggles had something more in their eyes, and their hands were sealed, facing the two of them.
The voice is soft, like the Sanskrit sound of the fairy world.
"Bai Chu, the soul has returned. ”
