Chapter 13: Sneaky Sleep

The moonlight was like water, and the street seemed to be plated with a layer of silver light. The night breeze blew through the empty streets, there was not a single pedestrian, and occasionally a dog barked in the distance, accompanied by the sound of the howling wind, it was deserted, and there was no longer the hustle and bustle of the day.

In this ancient legend in the far southwest, ghosts and monsters will haunt the night of the full moon, and every household must close its doors and windows and put on charms to keep the night peaceful. If a brave young man goes out at night, he will most likely be swept away by a gust of wind and sent into the belly of the ghost.

As a member of the Demon Sect, Qin Yan would never believe these rumors. He walked out of the inn and walked alone on the empty road. The corpse in front of the inn had already been taken away by the magistrate, leaving only a bloodstain and sprinkled with soot powder, so as not to cause the smell of blood to be too strong. At this moment when the moon is bright and the wind is clear, the killing of the day has faded like smoke, leaving only a faint and lonely melancholy, which disperses into the night sky with the wind.

He walked to the place where the car accident almost happened during the day, and saw that there was a windmill abandoned by Yue Ling's sister and brother on the side of the road, squatted down to pick it up, raised it to his ear, and listened to the sound of the small windmill turning in the night wind, with a smile on the corner of his mouth. He raised his arm, lifted the windmill above his head, and looked up at the windmill turning into a roulette wheel in the moonlight, and felt that the depression in his heart gradually dissipated under the windmill, and his whole body became comfortable.

"Senior brother, what kind of good thing is this, you have so much fun?" Yu Hanyan's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Qin Yan's figure stiffened. How did this guy get out too?

He turned his head and looked at Yu Hanyan, who was smiling but not smiling, and smiled unnaturally: "I came to study the craftsmanship of these country craftsmen, and found that I really can't underestimate them." Even though it's just a child's thing, it's quite delicate......"

"Senior brother is really good Yaxing. Yu Hanyan walked to his right, reached out and took the windmill that he had hidden in front of him, and leaned in front of him to look at it carefully, "Although this thing is simple, it also has a unique flavor, which makes my family feel very kind." Not...... It's been about eleven years, and I haven't touched such a gadget since my family joined the sect. ”

"Eleven years...... Qin Yan sighed in a low voice, "I have been worshipping the master for eleven years." ”

He raised his head and met the scorching gaze of Jade Hanyan. In the moonlight, the girl's delicate face was quiet and gentle, making him feel familiar and intimate. Knowing that the two were not real sisters and brothers, and that the other party approached him with ulterior motives, he had an urge to talk about his heart under such a gentle moonlight.

Immediately, this impulse was suppressed by reason, he shook his head, and said, "It's not too early, I'm going back to rest." Do you want to continue walking?"

Yu Hanyan said: "Senior brother went back to rest so early, wouldn't he live up to the moonlight tonight?" Why don't you accompany my family to take a walk around this county town and relax?"

There are no people on the streets, what is there to go about. Qin Yan was about to refuse, but Yu Hanyan grabbed his right hand, leaned into his ear and whispered, "Didn't you notice, we have been sneaked into sleep, and we are actually asleep now." ”

Qin Yan was shocked, only to feel that the other party's palm was cold, and it was really like a female ghost, and he hurriedly flung his right arm to break free. Unexpectedly, although Yu Hanyan's hand seemed to be soft and boneless, it actually contained strong strength, and Qin Yan hurriedly pulled it, but he didn't move at all.

"Don't move. Yu Hanyan drank softly, leaned in front of him, and said slowly, "Isn't this good? We can take this opportunity to have a good chat." Moreover, no matter what you do in your dreams, it has no effect on reality, so don't you have any ideas......

Spit out very tempting words from that cherry lips, but when Qin Yan saw the other party's cold and bright eyes like cold stars in the night sky, he couldn't have the slightest desire at all, and only secretly complained in his heart. Young Master Ben really thought it was a ghost infestation, but it turned out that it was you, the goddess, who made it a ghost. If you have anything to say, just say it directly, so that Young Master Ben, who is pulling and pulling with a goddess fairy in his dream, can't stand it......

Seeing the change in Qin Yan's eyes, Yu Hanyan showed a look of disappointment: "It turns out that my family is so unattractive!"

Qin Yan said: "No, senior sister, you are as beautiful as a fairy, and junior brother does not dare to blaspheme." ”

"Also, my family is too anxious...... "Yu Hanyan sighed faintly, "Forget it, no kidding, you listen well." We're really in a dream created by a ghost, and this dream is extremely complicated, obviously the work of a grudgeful ghost. Look!"

She pointed with her hand, Qin Yan looked along, and saw that there seemed to be a thin layer of red mist rising at the end of the empty street in the distance. Yu Hanyan explained in his ear: "That is the edge of the dream realm, if you break through there, you will be able to wake up." But the devil will definitely stretch the street infinitely, making it a repetitive space, and if you run blindly through it, you will not be able to walk to the end even if you are exhausted. ”

Qin Yan's heart sank, he probably believed what Yu Hanyan said, and asked, "Then what should I do?"

"Don't be in a hurry, wait for that ghost to show up. What we have is time, it's a big deal to wait until dawn. It takes a lot of resentment to create such a complex dream, and only so many deaths during the day give it a chance. If it misses tonight, it never stands a chance. ”

Qin Yan thought for a while and asked, "Senior sister, did you guess something?"

Yu Hanyan turned his face and smiled at him: "Yes, I should blame my family." My family was too cruel when they killed the hemp fairy at that time, and she suffered great pain and fear, so much so that she died and turned into a ghost to take revenge. Oops, my family really shouldn't have involved you, I'm really sorry!"

"Uh, it's okay......"

At this time, a cold wind blew, and the moon in the sky hid in the clouds, and the glow like water suddenly dimmed, and the streets fell into darkness. In the short breath of light and shade, Qin Yan's eyes flickered, as if he saw a vague white shadow flashing in front of him.

He rubbed his eyes and looked at Yu Hanyan beside him, who was just silently looking at the sky, as if he was unaware of the white shadow. However, when Qin Yan's gaze fell back on the street again, he found a terrifying scene.

White smoke, wisps of white smoke rose from the ground in front of them, gathering more and more, gradually blocking the view. Streets, attics, eaves...... Surrounded on all sides by white smoke, the smoke rose up, obscuring the sky and the moon, and there seemed to be ghostly shadows twisting and dancing, and with the diffuse fog, it approached the middle two step by step.

Yu Hanyan said lightly: "Look, she can't wait." ”

Qin Yan opened his mouth to answer, but at this time, there was a banging sound from the depths of the smoke, which seemed to hit his heart one after another. I don't know what is there to play the watch, one slow and two fast, indicating that the time of the third watch has arrived.

Yu Hanyan said: "Senior brother, you have to remember later, this is in a dream, no matter what kind of pain it is, it is vain, and it will not have any impact on reality, as long as you believe that you are not dead, you will definitely be fine." You should know some spells like the Heart Purification Mantra, so that you won't be confused by illusions. ”

Qin Yan nodded silently. There was a strong smell of blood in the air, and he almost vomited. And those white smoke with teeth and claws are also forced to approach, and as long as you reach out, you can make substantial contact with the ghosts hiding inside.

In this crisis situation, Qin Yan suddenly exerted force, and in turn tightly held Yu Hanyan's left hand, and asked, "Senior sister, there is a question that I don't understand. You say we're all caught up in the illusion of ghosts, but how do you know that we're all real people and not ghosts?"
