This is a world without monsters and immortals.
Even though there are practitioners who have passed down the tradition, most of them only do it for Tao, fame, and profit.
Over the years, dynasties have been changing continuously on this continent. Various sects have sprung up under the temples and then declined rapidly. Mountains and rivers have changed... No matter how history rolls forward in turbulent ways, people are always bound by the established rules of heaven.
Trapped in a world where only people fight against each other.
But one day, everything changed.
It's as if God suddenly gave itself a major upgrade and added new features.
In the sixth year of Dazhen Tianwu, on September 15th, at midnight, a mysterious red rain suddenly fell from the sky.
The red rain was like blood and lasted for half an hour.
The strange thing is that this red rain does not fall on rivers, streams or lakes, and evaporates when it enters the soil. Instead, it can be stored in porcelain vessels and solidify into tiny crystal grains on its own.
Then, it can be blended into boiled water.
And people were surprised to find that the stored red rain was simply a 'miraculous medicine'.
After taking it, it not only has the effects of removing toxins, rejuvenating the skin, nourishing the fetus, nourishing the kidneys, relieving pain and stopping bleeding, etc. It is also of great benefit to practitioners.
For example, stretching and nourishing the meridians are used to improve cultivation.
However, this thing is only effective when taken by humans. Other birds, insects and beasts have no reaction after eating it.
But since then, strange events have begun to occur frequently.
Either someone is haunted by nightmares and is killed by the dream monster 'Nightmare'. Or someone suddenly mutates and turns into a ferocious monster.
Or...someone who died is inexplicably 'resurrected'.
And the initiator behind this is - Hong Yu!
In the seventh year of Tianwu, the Dazhen Dynasty formally established the Night Patrol Division to investigate the midnight red rain incident.
It has been twenty-one years since the Night Watch Division was established.
After two generations of emperors, the Night Watch Division has become the second largest special organization in the Great Zhen Dynasty after the Shadow Guard. It has great influence both in the court and among the people.
Any case involving 'Red Rain', regardless of their identity, will be subject to strict investigation!
"Snapped!"
Tieniu slapped the transcript in his hand on the table and stared at Lin Yuanwai. "Commander Lin, you are so brave! We know that hiding Hongyu privately is a serious crime!"
Since the establishment of the Night Watch Division, the collection of stored red rain has begun across the country.
According to the detailed investigation results afterwards, the red rain affected areas at that time: Kyoto, Yanniuling, Shengui Island, and Fengling and Longjiang provinces.
No red rain fell in other areas.
In addition, red rain evaporates when it touches the soil and does not melt into rivers and seas. It can only be stored in porcelain, so it is not as difficult as climbing to the sky to collect it.
But even so, there are not a few people who secretly hide 'Red Rain'.
In the past twenty years, countless people have been imprisoned, beheaded, and had their homes confiscated because of "Red Rain".
But the transactions involving 'Red Rain' secretly have been banned repeatedly.
Just because of two words - profit!
Especially due to the vigorous inspections of the Night Patrol Department, Hongyu has become increasingly rare, and the extremely high profits it contains are enough to put many people at risk for their lives.
Some people are looking forward to another "red rain" coming from the sky, while others are afraid that the "red rain" will come again.
But now more than twenty years have passed, and there is no sign of the 'red rain' coming.
Only legends remain.
In addition, after several months of calculations by the Chaotang Qintian Supervisor, it was determined that there would be no more red rain, making it even more precious.
However, some forces secretly researched and improved the existing 'Red Rain', maximized the effect of Red Rain, diluted and blended it and sold it at a high price.
The 'Red Rain' found in Lin Jiaoyue's porridge bowl was a compounded medicine.
"Sir...sir..."
Forester Wai, who was slumped on the ground, was trembling all over, even his voice had changed, and he knelt on the ground. "My lord, I am unjust. I never hid Hongyu secretly. I would not dare to do such a illegal thing even if I gave him ten courages. Sir, if you don't believe me, you can search the Lin family."
Mei Xinger was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and cried out that she was wronged.
Tieniu pointed at the porcelain bowl: "What's going on? Could it be that we are trying to frame you deliberately?"
"No, no, no..."
Lin Yuanwai hurriedly shook his head. "That's not what I mean, Xiaomin. We don't know why there is this thing in my little girl's porridge. It must be... someone must be trying to harm my little girl! Yes, that's right! Someone must be trying to harm my little girl and my Lin family. Please be careful."
Leng Xinnan, who had extensive experience in investigating cases, could see that Lin Yuanwai and others did not seem to know about this, but out of caution, he waved to Guo Gang and said:
"Send someone to Yuncheng to inform the boss that a detailed investigation of the Lin family will be carried out and everyone in the house will be strictly interrogated. In addition, the two sisters Caiyun Caiyue will be called over to provide personal protection for Miss Lin for seven days for observation. .Although the nightmare has been eliminated, you still have to be careful. If there is any abnormality, you can report it in time."
"clear."
Guo Gang nodded and left in a hurry.
Once you take 'Red Rain', the greater the dose you take, the higher the possibility of mutation. If there are no abnormalities within seven days, it means that the hidden danger has been eliminated.
As for the punishment of the Lin family, it depends on the results of the investigation and the number of 'Hongyu' involved.
After all the instructions were in place, Leng Xinnan walked out of the hut and asked Meng Xiaotu who was following him: "Is there any way to find out the traces of the mysterious dreamer?"
"No, this dream master named Yan Shuangying is very strong."
Meng Xiaotu took a bite of the carrot. "It is difficult for me to erase part of the victim's memory about him. Moreover, this person entered Lin Jiaoyue's red rain dream from a long distance, which shows that his mental willpower is very strong and really powerful."
"It must be reported to the General Directorate for detailed investigation."
Leng Xinnan said lightly.
Dream masters are different from demon slayers. They need very special talents to enter the ranks of this practice. The imperial court also attaches great importance to such monks.
Those who can be incorporated will be incorporated, and those who cannot be incorporated will be registered and strictly monitored.
"By the way, Sister Leng, Wan Yingying also died from a nightmare last night. Why didn't Yan Shuangying save her?"
Meng Xiaotu suddenly asked curiously.
Leng Xinnan shook his head: "I don't know. The case will only become clear if we continue to investigate. First there was a monster attack, and now there is a nightmare. It seems to be closely related. After we go back, we will go to Wan's house to investigate. check--"
Halfway through her words, the woman suddenly frowned and gently pressed her left chest with her jade hand, her expression a little painful.
Meng Xiaotu saw this and said with concern: "Sister Leng, that place still hurts. How about I help you rub it?"
"Go aside."
Leng Xinnan glared.
Meng Xiaotu smiled and stopped joking, and said seriously: "Have you seen a doctor? Don't get any serious illness."
Leng Xinnan rubbed it lightly for a few times, and after the pain subsided, he said helplessly: "There are only a few girls available, and they are all useless. I will look for a better girl when I go to Kyoto for business in a few days. Look, it shouldn’t be a big problem.”
Although there are many famous doctors in nearby states and counties, when it comes to private parts, they can only look for girls.
"Oh, right!"
Meng Xiaotu suddenly remembered something, and her beautiful eyes sparkled. "There is a female doctor at the foot of Qingping Mountain. She seems to have moved here from Hailing Prefecture two months ago. I heard that her medical skills are very good and she only treats women. Why don't you give it a try?"
"Hailingzhou..."
Leng Xinnan was thoughtful. "Did you move here from such a far away place?"
——
The candlelight on the table next to her was still flickering slowly.
A thin layer of ice-like candle tears had already accumulated at the bottom of the red candle coated with spices.
And the big red word '囍' that was originally affixed to the window lattice was blown down under the bed at some point. A corner of it was missing, but it was still bright.
At this time, Li Nanke was still in the dilapidated wedding room.
This is his red rain dream. As long as he doesn't commit suicide and leave, the dream will exist forever.
Different from the warm and fragrant scene when Lin Jiaoyue was here before, the wedding room at this time was gloomy, with a faint musty smell, and the interior was dilapidated and decayed.
The red thing outside the window is no longer the dusk glow, but... red rain.
The sound of rain was falling rapidly.
The pouring red rain looked like fresh blood through the window gaps, dyeing the whole world into a scene of hell.
Li Nanke had never left the house to come into contact with Hongyu personally.
He couldn't get out either.
As long as the red rain falls, this room seems to be wrapped in a layer of enchantment, trapping him inside.
By reading the records about this world's "Red Rain" and understanding the profession of dreamer, he was convinced that he should be a different kind of firework.
Other dreamers need to enter the victim's red rain dream in order to get rid of the nightmare.
But he can pull others into his red rain dream!
And he is also the only dreamer who can see the 'red rain' in his dreams. Even if you can’t get out of the house and be in person.
Why this happened, he couldn't explain.
If I have to give an answer, it can only be because he is so handsome, maybe he is different from others.
At least that's what Li Nanke thinks.
Of course, maybe it's because he is a time traveler.
But in any case, it has something to do with his appearance. After all, Mr. Zhou Shuren once said: Handsome people may not be able to travel through time. But ugly people will never be able to pass through.
But when it comes to time travel, Li Nanke is still a little confused.
Although he retains the memory of his previous life, his memory of his current life is completely blank.
When I woke up, there was only a doctor's wife beside me.
I learned from my daughter-in-law that he was adopted by an old Taoist priest. The daughter-in-law was once the other's apprentice, so with the friendly help of the old Taoist priest, the two got married.
As for the reason for the amnesia, the doctor's wife explained that it might be due to head trauma.
So Li Nanke asked again, how did my head get hurt?
The daughter-in-law was silent for a moment, and then in a guilt-free and indifferent tone, she said lightly: I beat her.
There is no other explanation after that.
It seemed that this 'little thing' required no explanation for her.
However, judging from the dangerous looks the latter gave him when he tried to get close to him several times, Li Nanke probably guessed why he was beaten.
It seems that the wife is not sincere about this 'marriage'.
Not enough!
Li Nanke doesn't care about this. When the time comes, he will divorce her and go their separate ways. Anyway, this daughter-in-law is not very beautiful except for her good figure.
The only thing I can't bear to part with is her cooking skills.
While Li Nanke was deep in thought, a small swirling black hole suddenly appeared in front of him.
The vortex was about the size of a fist, glowing with a cold dark light.
The next second, a white bead floated out from Li Nanke's body, and flew towards the mysterious vortex as if it had eyes, and was swallowed instantly.
This mysterious white bead was obtained after he killed the nightmare before.
Similar to magic pill.
Li Nanke has read many records about the 'Nightmare'. Other dream masters will not have such white beads after destroying the 'Nightmare', but he is the only one who has it.
It can be seen that in the industry of dream practitioners, he is indeed an outlier.
As the white beads were swallowed, a very weak breath appeared in the room. At the same time, Li Nanke faintly felt that a line of sight was falling on him.
This feeling was very strange, as if there was someone sitting in front of him, staring at him.
It's weird anyway.
This discomfort did not fade until the mysterious vortex gradually disappeared.
There is an additional iron box on the table.
The black iron box is square and square, with small holes in the corners. The surface of the iron box flashes with dark red mysterious lines.
"Huh? Reward?"
Li Nanke raised his eyebrows.
When he first entered the Red Rain Dreamland, there was an identical iron box on the table. Inside was the firecracker he had used to kill the nightmare.
It can also be regarded as a gift package for newbies.
It's a pity that the fire cannon can only be used in Hongyu's dreamland, and cannot be fired when returning to reality.
He never expected that a gift package would appear now, which surprised Li Nanke. I hope I can give you better equipment and techniques this time, such as the 'Sunflower Collection' or something like that.
However, when he opened the mysterious iron box, he was stunned on the spot, and for a time he thought he had been dazzled.
It's actually a brick?
Li Nanke picked up the brick and weighed it. It was light and weightless. One side of the brick is engraved with the word "virtue", and the other side reads: Conquer people with virtue.
The handsome font exudes an air of sincerity.
Through induction, Li Nanke learned that this was not an ordinary brick, but a weapon - a hidden weapon to be precise.
Although the power is not yet known, it can be used in reality.
"I hope it's of some use."
Li Nanke curled his lips and didn't hold out much hope.
Guessing that it was almost time for his wife, who went to the mountain to collect medicine alone, to come back, Li Nanke stopped lingering, picked up the gunpowder with the residual smell of gunpowder and pressed it against his temple, and decided to leave the Red Rain Dreamland.
Although he had committed suicide many times, he felt an unspeakable heart palpitation every time he pulled the trigger.
I am afraid that this time, I will really go to see the King of Hell.
"Buddha bless..."
Li Nanke took a deep breath and pulled the trigger.
As the gunfire rang out, the candles on the table burned out their last light. The candle tears flowing on the table were twisting and turning, vaguely like three words -
