Volume 1 The country breaks the mountains and rivers in Chapter 27 Strange dreams are full of sorrow
Xu Yan slept very comfortably this night, and had a lot of dreams, bizarre dreams.
At first, he dreamed of the past, and dreamed of the first book he started to read when he was a child, "Jiuzhou Zhi", when he was two years old.
Like a bystander, when he saw a little kid crawling everywhere, and when he got to the full bookshelf, he climbed up a ladder, grabbed a book and wanted to climb to the shelf, and then ......
"Bang!"
Xu Yan, who was a little child, was overwhelmed by a pile of books.
He saw his grandmother from the side, with a nervous face, hurriedly came over, picked up him when he was a child, and reprimanded him for a long time, and "he" smiled and grabbed a copy of "Jiuzhou Zhi", pointed to a painting on it, and danced with his hands.
The picture above is a big three-eyed dog, dark all over, but with nine tails like a fox, called Yin Mountain, which is an ancient divine beast.
Since then, I've been looking at it over and over again every day.
Later, literacy began with "Jiuzhou Chronicles", because there were many paintings on it, and there were many magical monsters on the paintings, and he always pestered his grandmother to read to him.
It seemed that time had passed in a blink of an eye, he looked at himself who had grown up, sat in his grandmother's arms, watched "Jiuzhou Chronicles", and listened to his grandmother tell stories.
Seeing this, Xu Yan couldn't help grinning.
He watched Mama tell a story to "him", suddenly the world changed, as soon as he looked up, he saw a huge dog, descending from the sky, the shape of the body is like a heartless pavilion, no, bigger than the Wuxin Pavilion, also has nine tails, drooling in the mouth, dripping to the ground, it emitted black smoke, the nine tails seem to float up, swinging with the wind, it walked in front of him, and suddenly opened a red eye on his forehead, it is Yin Mountain.
"Boom!" There was a thunder in the sky, Xu Yan raised his head and his eyes widened, would you believe that the sky was beginning to sprout?
A small sapling grows slowly downwards in the sky, as if it were rooted in the soil, flowering, fruiting, withering, looking very slow, but it quickly becomes a piece of wood, and it begins to die, and then the wood begins to sprout again, this time a lot of small saplings.
In less than a while, the cycle repeated, the whole sky turned green, the dead wood was spring, endless, Xu Yan looked incredible.
Suddenly the ground began to shake, and as soon as he looked down, he was moving forward!
The land began to flow like a water, but it was the land.
"Moo!"
A loud roar came from the side, and he turned his head to see that in a very distant place, it was a monster with a bull head and a snake body, even if it felt far away in the world, he also felt its huge body, and the one on its back, towering into the clouds, was a mountain?
It's an ancient beast in "Jiuzhou Chronicles", desolate!
Just as he was amazed, countless divine beasts and strange beasts appeared, Gu Eagle, Karma Tiger, Wu Hunter......
The world was spinning, as if he had woken up from a dream, Xu Yan looked at the Wuxin Pavilion around him and a copy of "Jiuzhou Chronicles" beside him, fortunately, it was just a dream, scared him to death, but everything was so shocking to him, the world changed, countless magic, it was simply breathtaking, and he yearned for that magical world, he reached out and picked up the "Jiuzhou Chronicles" next to him and wanted to take a look.
"Childe, the teacher is here!" Mama called him happily downstairs.
Yes, Mama said that she would introduce herself to a teacher today.
"It's coming!" Xu Yan put "Jiuzhou Zhi" on the table and ran down.
Did he see a strange "person"?
Dressed in black, with a silver piece on his face, I don't know what kind of monster is drawn on it, but it's amazing!
Xu Yan looked at this novel "person" blankly.
He walked over slowly, stretched out his hand, touched his head, and said three words with a smile, "Call teacher." β
"Teacher!"
That day, it was replaced by the teacher who told him about "Jiuzhou Zhi" for a day, and then the teacher touched his body, and he also took the opportunity to touch his mask, and he really wanted to have one.
In the end, he let himself learn a strange set of movements with him, saying that as long as he practiced three times a day, he would bring him the legendary sugar gourd to eat next time.
That set of movements was troublesome, one time lying on his stomach, one time standing on one foot, one time lying down, and he died of exhaustion before he finished a third of it on the first day.
The teacher said that it didn't matter if he couldn't finish it, and asked him if he remembered it.
He said he remembered.
The teacher said that when he could do it three times a day, he would come again, but now that he didn't finish it one day, he would have to wait one more day.
So from that day on, he stopped reading books and practiced that strange set of actions every day, just to eat a bite of the legendary sugar gourd.
On the first day, he practiced non-stop, sleeping when he was tired, practicing when he woke up, and his mother was reciting sutras next to him.
As a result, the next day, he couldn't get up at all, and Mama smiled and told him that if he practiced like this in the future, he would lie down for several days for a day, and he was afraid that he would never be able to eat sugar gourds, and then he lay down for four or five days before recovering, because he had been lying in the attic, and he couldn't remember whether it was four days or five days.
So he didn't dare to practice like this, the teacher said three times a day, then he practiced three times a day, once in the morning, when he was tired, he went to read, once at noon, when he was tired, he went to sleep, woke up to see the ants move, practiced once at night, and when he was tired, he ran to the attic window to see the moon and the palace.
"Mama, Mama, I've practiced!" Xu Yan shouted excitedly, it was more than a month, and he completed the whole set of movements for the first time, on the contrary, he was not so tired, he felt very comfortable all over his body, he wanted to sleep and eat comfortably, but his clothes were soaked.
"Okay, okay, hurry up and change your clothes, you can drip water." β
He ate a lot of food, drank a lot of water, and went to the house many times, and he didn't want to stay in the attic anymore, but then he lay down and slept soundly......
He didn't understand why he wasn't tired, but he started to sweat, get sleepy, eat more, and sleep for a day every time.
Until half a month later, I sweated less, I was not so sleepy, and the smell was less, but I still ate the same amount, and I could barely practice once after sleeping.
This practice is another three months, and finally I don't sweat much, and I don't smell anymore, but after practicing twice, I am still sleepy, but I can start practicing for the third time, and I can eat sugar gourd if I work hard.
But before he finished the third time, the teacher came early, brought him the legendary sugar gourd, and told him the story of the day.
He was so happy that day, he slept soundly at night, and his dreams were full of the smell of sugar gourds.
"Wake up, Yan'er!"
Xu Yan opened his eyes sleepily, it was the teacher, he looked around, a little trance, didn't the teacher just leave?
"It's all overdue, have you done your homework?"
Xu Yan suddenly remembered that the teacher was going to come to see his post today, and he copied "Water Loading", and he dreamed again.
"Yan'er copied it a few days ago, teacher, please take a look!"
Xu Yan took down a stack of rice paper from the bookshelf.
"Well, Yan'er's handwriting is getting better and better. β
"Teacher, I've written my handwriting, can I go out and play for a while?" Xu Yan asked with longing.
He has been thinking about this for a long time, the last time he saw a bird flying by the window, he opened the window to see that it stopped on the road outside, he ran to ask Mama, can I go out to see the birds, Mama said that you can't go out, there are a lot of bad people outside, only his teacher said yes, they can go out, so he waited for a long time, and the teacher finally came.
"Why do you want to go out?" the teacher asked him, touching his head.
"I want to go out and see the sun outside, I can only see a little bit in the morning, I can't see it when I oversleep, I want to go out and see, and then bask in the sun, I also want to see the moon and stars at night, the book says that there are too many stars in the sky to count, but I can count them in the window, the first window has 63 stars, the second window has 145 stars, but sometimes there are a few, sometimes there are a few, and there is, the last time a bird of this size flew over, it stopped on the side of the road, I want to see itοΌβ
Xu Yan danced excitedly and told the teacher his yearning for the outside.
The teacher looked at him, was silent for a long time, and sighed: "Yan'er, the teacher promises that you can see these things in the future, but not now, this is a secret place, if you go out now, you and Mama will die, understand?"
"Why did you die, why can't you go out?" Xu Yan didn't understand, didn't the teacher go outside too?
"This is a problem, you will know in the future, but not now, the teacher doesn't want you to have an accident, and you don't want to be without Mama! Okay, that's it for today, the teacher is leaving, next time I will bring you a good thing, you haven't seen it." β
Xu Yan was silent for a while, and agreed with a smile, he didn't want the teacher to be embarrassed, and he didn't want his grandmother to have an accident.
But a person's curiosity is uncontrollable, and after he has completely learned that set of strange movements, the amount of food has become larger and larger, and the person has become more and more energetic, sometimes it is enough to sleep for an hour or two a day, and the most in the attic is books, so he began to read frantically, hoping to find the answer from the book.
He often read all night, and he got a lot of information from books and from Mama's mouth, because Mama was old, slept a lot, and occasionally talked in her dreams.
Mama chatters the most about His Majesty, the princess, the son, and many others.
Coupled with the news he saw from those history books, travelogues, and the palaces he saw from the window, he had many results.
"Mama, are we in the palace?"
"Who told you!" Hearing Xu Yan's question, Mama's face changed drastically.
"I guessed it myself!" Xu Yan told Mama about his guesses, the information in the book, and her dream words, and he wanted to know where he was and why Mama and himself couldn't go out.
"I really didn't expect my little boy to be so smart. When Xu Yan finished explaining, Mama smiled with relief.
Mama didn't tell him anything that day, saying that she would tell him when the teacher came.
In a blink of an eye, it seemed that time had passed, and the teacher had arrived.
"This is the Imperial Palace, the place we are in, called Wuxin Pavilion, is a small building in the Autumn Feather Palace, the Autumn Feather Hall is a place where people who have made mistakes in the palace stay, everyone can't go out, and if they go out, they will be arrested by people outside and executed. β
"Teacher, what mistake did my grandmother and I make to get caught here?" Xu Yan asked suddenly.
"It's because the teacher made a mistake. β
"Wow!" The sound of a huge wave crashing into the ship shattered the picture, Xu Yan opened his eyes uncomfortably, is it a dream again?
Looking at the big river in front of him and the mountains in the distance, he remembered that he was sent out of the palace and followed Su Lao Er on the boat, it turned out that he had so many dreams at once.
He stretched out his hand and clenched his fist in a daze, could this also be a dream? In fact, he was still in the palace, and his grandmother was not dead, if yes, he really hoped to wake up soon.
As he became more and more sober, he found that he seemed to be asleep with a wind chime, and he straightened up hard, and his head hurt sharply!
After a pause, he looked at the wind chimes next to him with his head tilted up, and was squinting at him.
"What's wrong with you?" Xu Yan closed one eye and struggled to prop himself up.
"Neck pain!"
Xu Yan smiled, his mind was relieved, he fell completely on the boat, and fell asleep again.
