Chapter 190: The Dream Man on the Edge of the Dream Realm
"What's the matter? Will that rich man still use a cornucopia as a bet?" Xu Mo heard something from his words.
Zhou Fu nodded, "That was many years ago, so according to legend, hundreds of years ago, the rich man Guo once boasted of Haikou, no matter who it was, as long as he won him, he would give the treasure to this person." ”
"Oh, does he admit he has a cornucopia?" Xu Mo continued.
Zhou Fu thought for a while, and finally shook his head and said: "That's not true, it seems that someone asked him if there was a cornucopia at home, and the rich man Guo just smiled and didn't speak." ”
Xu Mo said: "In this way, the cornucopia is just a rumor. This rich man Guo is willing to bet on the treasure, either because he is very sure that no one can win him, or because there is more than one treasure. ”
Zhou Fu couldn't understand what Xu Mo was saying, so he casually responded, "Maybe." ”
"Take everything you want, let's go out and look for the mouse. Xu Mo commanded.
Zhou Fu didn't have much of an idea, he listened to Xu Mo's instructions, agreed, picked up a few gold ingots and brought them with him, and followed Xu Mo out of the storage room.
The two searched around the mouse hole again, but never found the mouse, but walked out of the hole on the other side.
By this time, it was completely dark. The fog was so thick that the moonlight could not shine in at all, and it seemed darker and darker, and I couldn't see my fingers.
"It's dark. Zhou Fu whispered, a little uneasy in his tone. In this case, he is almost completely invisible.
"It's fine. Xu Mo was completely unaffected, and his eyes became brighter and brighter in the dark night. Said lightly: "That rat must have escaped from other holes and fled somewhere else." ”
Zhou Fu suddenly said, "What is that? Where did the light come from?" and stretched out his hand to point in a certain direction.
Xu Mo looked in the direction of his finger. The direction that Zhou Fu pointed to was the deeper part of the Boundary Mountain. In the thick fog, there was really light coming through.
Xu Mo's vision was unaffected, and he soon realized, "It's a lantern, strange! How can it be a flying lantern?"
Zhou Fu was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Xu Xianggong, is there only one lantern?"
"No, there is another person, following the lantern, who is walking in this direction. Let's catch him up and see what he wants to do. Xu Mo explained, and then walked forward.
When Zhou Fu heard about a flying lantern, he was still a little worried, but when he heard that there was someone, he felt a little relieved, and said 'oh' and followed behind Xu Mo.
Soon came into contact with the lantern, and at this time, even Zhou Fu could see it clearly. Sure enough, a red lantern floated in the air and was rushing in this direction. A young man in his twenties carries a sack on his back and follows the lantern. His eyes were always fixed on the lantern, as if he had been hooked by the lantern, and wherever the lantern went, he followed.
Xu Mo greeted the man, "This friend, where is he going?"
The man didn't seem to hear him at all, unresponsive, and still following the lantern. Zhou Fu reminded: "Xu Xianggong, he was hooked by the lantern, and he couldn't hear it." ”
Xu Mo shook his head, very disappreciative in his heart, but he didn't refute, and then said, "Let's follow and see where he goes." ”
The two were behind the man. Soon it was discovered that the lantern was leading the man in the direction of the mountain. And what was even stranger was that the light from the lantern seemed to have a special ability to protect the young man in it. When the beasts were encountered, they retreated.
Xu Mo and his mount were left at the entrance of the hole on the other side of the rat hole. So he caught two more wild horses and walked on his behalf.
The lantern led the man forward, gradually leaving the danger zone. As soon as it left the danger zone, the lantern lost control and fell from the sky, falling to the ground.
The young man stood still for a moment, motionless. After a long time, he seemed to come back to his senses, let out a long breath, picked up the lantern on the ground, and looked left and right.
Xu Mo stepped forward and greeted with a smile: "This friend, where are you going?"
When the young man saw Xu Mo and the others, he was stunned for a moment, then reacted and asked, "Two brothers, are they from Qingleng Town?"
Xu Mo looked at him quietly, this person seemed to know nothing about what had just happened. smiled: "We are from Qingleng Town, where are you going to go, this friend?"
The young man said: "My surname is Wei, my name is Wei Zhi, I came from the world outside the border mountain, I heard that there is a rich man Guo in this town, and his wealth is unparalleled in the world, so I specially came to him to gamble." ”
Zhou Fu reminded Xu Mo in a low voice: "Xu Xianggong, I am looking for the rich man Guo to gamble money. ”
Xu Mo nodded, pretending to be casual and said to the young man: "The rich man Guo has a cornucopia, and all the wealth and fortune in the world are gathered in him. If you want to win him, I'm afraid it's not easy. ”
Wei Zhi smiled disappreciatively, "Don't hide it from the two, the way for the little brother to win freely." ”
"Really?" Xu Mo said tentatively.
Wei Zhi smiled again, but refused to reveal the slightest tone. Diverting the topic, he pointed to the direction of the mountain and asked, "Two, is this the direction of Qingleng Town?"
Xu Mo nodded.
Wei Zhiyi waved his hand, "Two of you, we'll have a meeting later." Without even asking the names of Xu Mo and Zhou Fu, they left.
Zhou Fudao: "Xu Xianggong, what he carries in the sack is gold and silver treasures. I have also seen people from outside the border mountain before, and many of them are like this person, carrying gold and silver on their backs, and going to the town to gamble with Guo Dacai. ”
Xu Mo also guessed this result, and said with a 'hmm' sound, "I want to take a look in the direction he came from." If you want to go down the mountain, now that it's safe, it doesn't matter if you go back alone. ”
Zhou Fu shook his head and said firmly: "I still follow Xu Xianggong." ”
Xu Mo was not reluctant, and the two returned to the danger area. Soon after, another lantern lit up in front of him, also leading a man.
This person was much older than Wei Zhi, at least fifty or sixty years old. He was in rags, his hands were empty, and he didn't carry anything on his back.
Xu Mo knew in his heart that this person, like Wei Zhi, was a newcomer who emerged from the edge of Guo Qinglian's dream. But unlike Wei Zhi, the purpose of this person's appearance was definitely not to find Guo Qinglian to gamble.
The light of the lantern also protected the man, keeping the beasts out.
But at this moment, there was a sudden 'oh oh' rooster crow, and a big rooster jumped out and pounced on the man. The big rooster was completely unaffected by the light of the lantern, and instantly threw the man to the ground and pecked him to death.
Zhou Fu exclaimed, "It's the original Dream Beast. ”
The big rooster had almost all the hair on it, and it was really the hunters who had set a trap to catch the dreaming beast that had not yet been made.
The Dream Beast also found Xu Mo and the others, regardless of the corpse of the person underground, and pounced on them with a scream.
Xu Mo's mind moved, and the whip of the soul greeted him. This dream beast had already suffered a lot of injuries, and under the blow of Xu Mo's Soul Whip, its heart was traumatized, and it screamed and fell to the ground.
Xu Mo was overjoyed, and then a few spiritual whips were added. The Nightmaremon shuddered, and screamed a few times, looking weak.
Xu Mo stepped forward, the arrogance of the dream beast disappeared, looking at Xu Mo's eyes, he actually showed a look of fear, and involuntarily shrank back.
Xu Mo reached out and stroked its huge cockscomb, and the Dream Beast didn't dare to dodge.
Xu Mo couldn't help but laugh, this dream beast was injured, but he didn't expect it to be surrendered so easily.
"Xu Xianggong, this dream beast is afraid of you. Zhou Fu shouted, his tone was surprised and delighted.
Xu Mo climbed onto the Dream Beast's back, commanded it to stand up, and said in a high-spirited manner, "Let's take a look deeper." ”
Command the Dream Beast, take Zhou Fu with you, and continue to walk into the depths.
After that, he never met anyone like Wei Zhi who came out of the depths of the border mountain. The two walked for most of the night, and the fog on the border mountain became thicker and thicker, and by the end, the fog was almost all water vapor.
Zhou Fu suddenly shouted: "Xu Xianggong, I feel like I'm about to melt." "I was sluggish, and I had no strength to speak.
Xu Mo was shocked, and hurriedly ordered: "In that case, you can stop here, and I'll go over and see for myself." ”
In fact, he has reached the edge of Guo Qinglian's dream, and if he walks forward, he will come out of his dream. Zhou Fu is the person in his dream, and once he gets out of his dream, he will disappear.
Xu Mo didn't know what the props would like, and vaguely thought of the possibility of being bad.
Zhou Fu didn't dare to insist, so he stopped waiting.
Nightmares, however, were barely affected. Xu Mo rode it on, and after a while, some people gradually appeared in the thick fog, men and women, old and young, adults and children. Not really human, to be exact. In addition to this, there are a variety of animals mixed in.
They were disembodied, floating around in the fog like geistes.
Xu Mo aimed at a geist and tried to slap it with a spiritual whip. This whip of the soul, his original intention was only to test, and it was not even as powerful.
Unexpectedly, after receiving this whip, the geist spirit quickly condensed, turned into a bead, and fell to the ground.
"This is?" Xu Mo stepped forward, picked up the beads, and took them to his eyes. The bead was transparent, like a normal glass bead.
In the center of the glass beads, there is a small person, vivid, exactly like the wandering spirit just now.
"I'm afraid it's the legendary skin bead. Xu Mo put the bead away and continued to look at the surrounding spirits. It was soon discovered that some of these wandering spirits were carrying the same sacks as Wei Zhi on their backs.
Xu Mo's heart froze, and he suddenly understood, "These wandering spirits are not wandering spirits at all. is on the edge of Guo Qinglian's dream, a dream person who has not yet condensed and formed. ”
