Chapter 26: A Dream of Nanke
"But I told you one thing as well. Jian 13 pointed to the waterfall and said, "There is a stone cave on the top of the mountain, called Nanke Yimeng. ”
Li Ming didn't know why Jian Thirteen would tell him this, but he knew that Jian Thirteen must have wanted to tell him something very important, so he listened very carefully, for fear of missing a word.
"The cave is forbidden because it's a magical hole. Sword Thirteen didn't seem to know how to describe the hole in the top of the mountain.
"Is there anything strange?" Li Ming asked.
"I don't know. Jian Thirteen shook his head and explained, "No one has ever entered that cave, but it has been passed on by word of mouth, but your master and my master said that this cave may have been born for this life." ”
"How does Master know?" Li Ming asked curiously, looking at Jian Thirteen's expression, he could know very little about the hole.
"Naturally, I found the old man of Tianji, but the inaccurate master who saved you in the town of Bugui. After Jian Thirteen finished speaking, his eyes were blazing and he looked at Li Ming, "Li Ming, do you know why this cave stopped Nan Ke Yimeng?"
Li Ming shook his head, if he knew, he would be hell.
"The person who enters the cave is like a dream, and it is up to luck to decide whether or not he will wake up. Sword Thirteen said mysteriously.
Li Ming asked, "What if you don't wake up?"
"Naturally, I died in a dream. Sword Thirteen asked solemnly, "As long as you can come out, then you will have a chance to become strong quickly, otherwise, you will disappear forever between heaven and earth, and that hole can only be used once, and it will disappear after one time." ”
"So is this what the master said about luck?" Li Ming thought of the words of the Sword Thirteen Fangcai, and asked half-thought.
Jian Thirteen nodded: "Li Ming, as a teacher, I will ask you if you dare to fight now?"
Li Ming didn't answer immediately, he looked at the cat demon.
The cat demon opened a pair of cat eyes excitedly, looked at Jian Thirteen, and said in an undoubted tone: "I also want to go in, there has always been a familiar feeling from the top of the mountain, this cat demon can't go on like this, and if you don't fight, you can only live on this cat forever." ”
Jian Thirteen looked at the cat demon with some admiration: "Fat cat, aren't you afraid of death?"
"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, but there are things that have to be done, and my heart has always wanted to do them, so I have to go. "The cat demon is not a cat at this time, but a heroic momentum.
Li Ming closed his eyes at this time, he thought of the third year of junior high school, but then he thought of the painful but fearless face of Xiao Baozi in the firelight. He was entangled, he had never had the torment, Sword Thirteen was right, inheriting the mantle of the Burial Sword Valley, he must be a sword for the common people.
"With faith in your heart, where can't you live in peace?" Jian Thirteen's voice came, and this voice was like a slap in the face.
"I'll go. Li Ming opened his eyes suddenly, he really wanted to go, even the cat demon, the fat cat was not afraid of things, what reason did he have to escape.
Jian Thirteen was indeed very anxious this time, and after Li Ming agreed, he took a man and a cat to the top of the mountain, and the source of the waterfall disappeared directly into a layer of fog from the side. Sword Thirteen told him that he hadn't been in the fog until now, or that he couldn't get in at all.
The top of the mountain is not as big as expected, and at a glance you can see a lonely cave, and the entire summit is bare and only this cave.
There are four characters on the left and right sides of the cave, "Nan Ke is a dream, a flash in the pan", and the entrance of the cave seems to be covered with a layer of white veil, which makes people unable to see it.
"Li Ming, the old man of Tianji's divination technique is unparalleled in the world, he said that this cave is opened for this life, then you will be fine, this world needs you, do you understand?" Jian Thirteen is actually a little worried, after all, this cave looks mediocre, but it can make people die in dreams. He didn't think that his predecessors would exaggerate, because the Burial Sword Valley of one master and one apprentice didn't need to hide any secrets.
Li Ming looked at the cave with some curiosity, held the cat demon in his arms, and said, "Master, don't worry, I am your apprentice and the heir of the Burial Sword Valley, so I will definitely come out of the cave." ”
"Okay, you're my Sword Thirteen's apprentice, go ahead. Jian Thirteen kindly touched Li Ming's head, and then looked at the cat demon, "Fat cat, I hope you are all okay." ”
"This cat demon is most afraid of his mother-in-law, Li Ming, isn't it just a broken cave? The cat demon looked disdainful, "Don't worry, this cat demon will cover you after you go in." ”
Li Minggan laughed a few times, nodded at Jian Thirteen, and walked towards the cave with the cat demon in his arms.
He first carefully put his right foot closer to the white mist, and finally his toe touched the white mist at the entrance of the hole, and at that moment he felt that he was being pulled in by a strong force, and the cat demon in his hand was also thrown out by him unexpectedly. Li Ming dreamed of that familiar and unfamiliar back again, it was daytime, but he really dreamed it.
I don't know how many times I've dreamed of this back, but this time I seem to be able to see her turn around, who is it, why did she break into my dream.
There was a little pain in his ear, and then there was a cry from Xiao Baozi: "Lazy pig Li Ming, wake up quickly, you can sleep in the daytime." ”
The back in the dream instantly turned into pieces, Li Ming opened his eyes a little unpleasantly, and saw Xiao Baozi holding the pear on his table, looking at himself with laughter while eating.
The name of Xiao Baozi seems to have never been called by his father, and he has been calling him Xiao Baozi since he can remember, maybe this is his name.
Li Ming naturally won't be angry, it's not once or twice that Xiao Baozi has played tricks on himself like this, they are best friends.
Looking at the scorching sun outside the window, Li Ming picked up the pu fan on the side and fanned it hard, which drove away some of the heat, the little bun quickly finished eating a pear, and then clapped his hands, he knew that Li Ming had completely woken up: "Li Ming, didn't you say that you were going to catch Zhizhi and roast it to eat? Now it's just right, let's go to the woods outside the city to catch Zhizhi and then go to the pool to take a bath, how about roasting and eating by the pool?"
Li Ming was still a little embarrassed, the flowers and trees in the yard were all curled at the moment.
"Don't worry, the waterhole is what I inquired about, on the side of the mountain, the sun can't bask in, I don't know there is a waterhole there, today it happens that your father and mother seem to be going out, my father and mother went to set up a stall again, this is a great opportunity." After Xiao Baozi finished speaking, he pointed to the two thin bamboo poles on the side of the door, on which the bag was sewn with needle and thread, "Look, I have done everything I have grasped." ”
Li Ming pretended to be helpless and nodded: "Okay, let's go." ”
The two walked out of the city gate and walked to the west for a while, and finally arrived at the woods that Xiao Baozi said, as soon as they walked into the woods, Li Ming suddenly had a familiar feeling, and he said curiously.
"What's wrong?" asked Xiao Baozi, turning around.
Li Ming smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay." ”
Xiao Baozi was obviously a good hand at this, and the two of them caught it in the forest for an hour or so before filling the two bamboo baskets they had brought.
"Let's go, go to the waterhole, and let you taste my handiwork. The little bun jumped and ran first.
Li Ming always felt that something was wrong, but he just couldn't say it, so he had to keep up.
"Blue water pool. Li Ming unconsciously read these three words, and there seemed to be something about to come up in his heart, but it seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand.
The water in the pool is indeed very clear, the clear turquoise bottom, this place is some distance away from the outside of the city, Li Ming really hasn't been here to play, this pool of water is blocked by the mountain wall, but half of it is hiding in the shade.
The small buns over there had quickly set up a few shelves, peeled and washed them at the water's edge, and skewered them with thin wire wires.
"You go into the water to play, it's cool, Aunt Li and Uncle Li always lock you up at home, you haven't been to this kind of place to take a bath. Xiao Baozi didn't raise his head and fiddled intently.
Li Ming carefully took off his clothes, and then slowly walked into the pool, he didn't know how to swim, but he was covered by the small bun and came out a few times, so he also learned.
It's been a long time since I've been so happy, Li Ming plunged into the water, and suddenly he saw a pair of eyes in the water, it was a pair of women's eyes, looking at himself gently, wanting to escape from the bottom of the water, but as if he was bound by an invisible force, the owner of the eyes gradually appeared under the water, and then slowly walked out of the water with his back to himself.
This back is really the back that Li Ming has dreamed of countless times, and this woman is the character on the painting handed over to him by his adoptive parents, and she seems to be the mother of his own body.
Finally, Li Ming was able to get out of the water, and the sky outside was already dark, and the little bun was no longer there, leaving only the fire by the pond that still had some smoke.
"Little Bun went back alone. Li Ming got dressed a little angrily, and when he looked at the fire, his mother was standing next to the fire.
I really miss my own mother, but anyone who suddenly sees it in this situation will be afraid.
"Are you afraid of Mother?" the beautiful woman finally spoke, and then slowly walked towards Li Ming.
Behind Li Ming was the pool of water, and he had nowhere to retreat, so he could only ask with some expectation and some timidity: "Are you really my mother?"
The woman sighed: "That's nature, I've been looking for you for a long time." ”
"You man-eating monster dares to commit murder here. A little girl of Li Ming's age came out of the forest at this time, looking a little embarrassed.
At this time, the woman quickly reached out to grab Li Ming, and heard an eagle's cry, and a thin and transparent eagle pecked at the back of the woman's hand.
The woman screamed in pain, then turned around and walked angrily towards the little girl, who wanted to escape, but the woman was obviously not simple, and caught her in a few rounds.
"You old monster, let me go, I'm not something you can mess with. The little girl cried out.
"Lan Yue'er?" Li Ming seemed to have something in his mind that was about to be pulled out.
The woman was obviously a little angry, and glared at Lan Yue'er coldly: "You girl actually wants to spoil my good deeds, see that I don't kill you, and then sink your body to the bottom of this pool." ”
"Let her go. Li Ming couldn't care about it so much, he only knew that he didn't want Lan Yue'er to die.
The woman suddenly laughed: "Good son, if you want me to let her go, it's very simple, you will die in front of me now." ”
