Chapter Two Hundred and One: A Dream of Huangliang
Near the end of the road, in a clearing still surrounded by unknown trees, a few chairs were placed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The info petals are still scattering, but there seems to be an invisible wall blocking the clearing, and the falling petals change direction in the air and scatter around the clearing.
Chax smiled and said, "This is the resting place." Although it looks a little simpler, it is still quite comfortable to lie down. ā
Hu Xiao smiled politely, not taking his words to heart. She just asked curiously, "Mr. Bishop, can we just lie down on it and sleep as usual?"
Seeing Chucks nodding, Hu Xiao continued: "What if there is no dream, or if you wake up suddenly?"
Chax said mysteriously: "There is an ancient Chinese saying called Huangliang a dream, you must have heard it, right?"
Seeing that we nodded, Chaks continued, "The resting place where the gods sigh is nothing but a dream. The sorghum is not yet cooked, but the dream is over. A long life, a snap of a finger. ā
I don't know what Chaks's original words were, but when Liu Tian said these sentences in a tone that still didn't hear any emotion, I seemed to see a flash of surprise in her calm eyes.
It's just that brief moment, under the hazy night, but I don't know if it's real.
"You're saying that dreams may be long, but they actually take a short time?"
Before I could continue to sigh, the words of the nonsense had already made my eyes fall on her frowning face.
Her delicate facial features are more and more amazing in the night, and she is frowning slightly at the moment, obviously a little fierce but even more weak. Only this time, it was suddenly me.
I don't know if I'm worried that I will be amazed by Hu Xiao again, Chucks didn't look at her, just looked at the sky, and said a little reverently and a little sadly: "Yes, it's very short, I woke up from a dream, but it took half an hour." It's just that in the past half hour, the dream may have experienced three lives and three lives. Of course, it may feel shorter than reality, but it's just a snap of your fingers. ā
Obviously, I should have listened to Chucks' explanation seriously at this moment, but when I heard Liu Tian's translation, the corners of my mouth couldn't help but rise slightly. I remember that on a watery night many years ago, someone whispered something to me on the forest road.
It's just a memory gap, and it's so unreal.
And the moment I saw Hu Xiao just now, it was also this feeling of déjà vu that was making trouble.
Look at her, think about it, but don't know who she thinks.
I didn't care about my sudden smile, she stretched her brows, and said with a smile: "For example, floating, dying in the twilight of life? Although it is short, it is also its life?"
Thinking of what Lao Qiu had said before, some of the lives of the demon clan are actually very short, so the smiling Yanran seems to me to have a bit of self-deprecation. It's just that Chucks didn't think about it so much, and his nonsense made him feel that what he said just now was just a snap of his fingers, so he laughed and said: "Your wisdom and metaphors make me deeply admire." ā
After speaking, Chucks took out a packet of gray powder and said, "This special powder has been blessed by our gods to help those who rest here fall asleep quickly and enter a dream paradise." Half an hour later, the powder burned out, and the dream was over. ā
Dream Paradise may be the name of the dream they gave to Chaks, and it is estimated that it is really similar to the too illusory realm. But what I think about is what will happen to the people in the dream if the powder burns out prematurely or is extinguished?
And this half an hour can really ensure that the dreamer can experience a lifetime?
I don't know if Hu Xiao and Liu Tian also thought of it, but at this moment, they all chose to be silent. For a while, the atmosphere was quiet and a little weird.
It was Chucks who broke the silence.
"I can't be sure that I will be able to experience a full life, but even if the powder burns out prematurely or is extinguished, the person in the dream will naturally wake up. For their brains, there will be no damage. ā
My gut told me that Chucks didn't know how to read minds, so it showed that he was accurate.
At least all the questions I had in mind were answered by him.
Smiling, Hu Xiao asked, "I don't know how many times can a person experience such a dream opportunity in his life?"
"I don't know if it's so amazing anywhere else, but here, everyone, has only three chances to dream in their lives. Chucks replied quickly.
After sighing, he smiled and said, "Then we are honored." ā
After speaking, she looked at Liu Tian and me, with a bit of consultation in her eyes.
Liu Tian's face was as usual, and she nodded slightly.
Is this guy as calm as water at all times?
The thought flashed, but I nodded slightly.
Hu Xiao looked at Chucks and said, "Then it's troublesome Lord Bishop, I don't know, when can it start?"
Chucks looked at the bench and gestured to us. Hu Xiao smiled and thanked him, and then walked straight over.
Seeing Hu Xiao lying on the bench, I glanced at Liu Tian and then lay down with him.
I don't know what kind of material this chair is made of, but it is indeed very comfortable to lie on it, as Chucks said.
It was so comfortable that Chax's powder had not yet ignited, and the slight warm breeze with the faint scent of flowers in the air had already made me fall asleep.
It's still winter, but this wind...
I didn't have time to sigh too much, and as far as I could see, green smoke curled on the stone plate not far away, and the powder seemed to have ignited.
My eyelids sank, and I felt like I couldn't lift the strength to open them.
When I opened my tired eyes, I saw Chucks standing still. His eyes were closed, like an old monk who had entered meditation. It was just that pastor's robe, but it reminded me of who he was.
Beside him, the green smoke was still curling, converging with the petals in the air, exuding a faint fragrance. It was as if the clouds drifting in the night were there, but they felt so unreal.
It's unreal, and it's hard to tell whether Chucks is awake and settled, or if he has walked in that dream in this fragrance.
Hu Xiao and Liu Tian are still asleep, the light is sprinkled on their faces, there is a kind of beauty that I can't describe. It's just that feeling, it makes people feel peaceful and beautiful.
So, the corners of my mouth went up slightly.
I don't know if it was the upward spurt that woke Chucks, but he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at me. Naturally, I couldn't say hello to him when I couldn't understand words, and besides, I didn't want to make any noise to disturb them at the moment. So, at least I kept the corners of my mouth up, and nodded to Chucks.
Ignoring my movements, Chucks looked at the powder that was still burning next to him with a bit of a different color, and then looked at Hu Xiao and Liu Tian. When his gaze fell back on me, the strange color still did not dissipate, but there was a little more surprise.
