Gu Jiuqing looked at his hands. There were no gongs or drums in his empty hands.
And listen outside, where are the sounds of people being woken up?
It was dark outside and everyone was sleeping soundly.
Everything she had experienced before was more like a lucid dream for her.
"No, it's not a dream!" Gu Jiuqing simply stood up and quickly came to the lakeside.
That was the place where the things in the dream came ashore. Looking at it now, there was no trace left.
The cool breeze coming from the lake shore made Gu Jiuqing sober up.
She looked at the vast lake in front of her and closed her eyes.
She wanted to use her abilities to explore Bixia Lake.
She didn't believe it was a simple dream, but the thing in the dream had a high probability of being able to control people's dreams.
The breeze stirred up ripples, and Gu Jiuqing's consciousness slowly sank to the surface of the lake.
There are fish, aquatic plants, and plankton in the water that are difficult to see with the naked eye.
She went all the way down and continued deeper, only to realize that this lake was much deeper than she had imagined.
It was pitch black underneath, and the only sound left was the faint sound of water.
But she didn't find anything unusual here.
After all, her range of perception is limited. Maybe that thing is hidden deeper, somewhere she can't detect.
Thinking of this, she simply retracted her mind.
And just when she was about to exit, she seemed to hear a familiar "bang bang" sound.
The sound was somewhat distorted due to the resistance of the water.
She paused for a moment, staring again into the thick darkness ahead.
The sound disappeared, and there was only the sound of water around.
It seemed that everything just now was just her illusion.
This time, she left completely.
Cang Liyuan was standing next to her. Seeing her open her eyes, he said quietly: "Did you find anything?"
Gu Jiuqing shook his head and said seriously: "There must be something in this, and it must be more than just my dream."
Cang Liyuan did not comment, and Gu Jiuqing asked again: "What's the situation over there at Miaolian?"
"She had a nightmare. After waking up, she didn't dare to sleep again. Now her mother is with her," Cang Liyuan said.
"I'll go see her." Gu Jiuqing felt that he might be able to find a breakthrough from her.
In that dream, she didn't see what the thing really looked like.
But Miaolian seemed to have seen it. If she could still remember it, that would be even better!
Cang Liyuan soon took her to Miaolian's house. This time Miaolian's room was brightly lit.
The two of them had already called someone to say hello in advance, and when they came over, Miao Lian had already packed up.
But her eyes were still red and swollen, obviously she had cried.
As soon as she saw Gu Jiuqing, Miao Lian's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Sister Fairy!" She stood up suddenly, and tears of excitement flowed out with a "swish".
"Do you know me?" Gu Jiuqing shamelessly ignored the title.
Miao Lian nodded and said excitedly: "I remember you! I saw you when... in my dream! If you hadn't appeared at that time, I would have been captured by the monster! Wuwuwu... …”
"Ah, benefactor! It turns out to be a benefactor!" Miao Lian's mother was also excited. She was about to kneel down in front of Gu Jiuqing, but she was stopped by her.
"Lian'er just told me that thanks to the appearance of a fairy, she was saved from the monster! My benefactor! How can I repay you for your great kindness..." Miao Lian's mother almost burst into tears. , and then pulled Gu Jiuqing and told Miaolian's past intermittently.
Miaolian has already told this story before, and it is not much different from what her mother said.
Gu Jiuqing felt that the reason why Lian'er stayed awake among that group of people might really be related to the amulet she had worn since childhood.
But now, when Gu Jiuqing looked at her amulet again, even the weak power was gone. It had completely turned into a piece of waste paper.
But Miaolian didn't know it yet. At this time, she was holding the amulet religiously with both hands, and her whole body was shaking.
After stabilizing the emotions of mother and daughter, Gu Jiuqing got down to business.
"Sister Miaolian, do you still remember the appearance of the monster in the dream?" Gu Jiuqing asked softly.
Hearing this, Miao Lian shivered as if she thought of something terrible.
"Don't be afraid. As long as I'm here, the monster can't hurt you. Because only you have seen the monster with your own eyes. If I can know what it is and eliminate it in one fell swoop, then you can completely escape this nightmare. Get freed from it." Gu Jiuqing comforted her with a warm voice, which made the fear in her heart slowly dissipate.
Soon Miaolian tried hard to recall the memories in her dream and described the appearance of the thing to Gu Jiuqing.
Gu Jiuqing then took out a pen and paper and started drawing on the side according to her description.
Soon, a dark thing about the size of a puppy appeared on the paper.
That thing had long black hair all over its body, but there was a round thing at its tail. As it walked, it would make a "bang bang" sound.
When Miao Lian saw this, she instantly showed a complicated expression.
"Yes, it's this thing." Miao Lian said with a pale face, "At first, it did look like this. But its eyes were shining red, which was very sinister and scary!
Later, when it got closer, it turned into a man. He has white clothes and white hair, and looks very handsome, but his eyes are still blood-red and look very scary! He asked me to go with him, but I didn’t dare, I was afraid...wuwuwu..."
Gu Jiuqing comforted her again, and then asked Cang Liyuan to look at the painting.
Cang Liyuan shook his head and said, "There is one person who should be clear about it."
"who?"
"Ling Xiangzi." Cang Liyuan said.
"But he is far away!" Gu Jiuqing couldn't help but sigh, then water from far away could not quench his thirst nearby.
Moreover, judging from the current situation, that thing may not let Miao Lian go tonight.
This time the amulet had no effect at all, and I was afraid that Miao Lian was really going to be taken away by him.
"Don't worry, Feng Yi has gone to invite someone. He will be here this afternoon at the latest." Cang Liyuan said.
Hearing this, Gu Jiuqing couldn't help but look at him in surprise.
Unexpectedly, he had already planned it.
"I thought you didn't believe it." Gu Jiuqing couldn't help laughing.
"Why don't you believe it?" There was a gentle look in Cang Liyuan's eyes, "You are not that timid, and you will not dwell on a mere nightmare. Don't worry! This matter will be resolved soon."
With Cang Liyuan's intervention, Gu Jiuqing naturally felt much more at ease.
Several people stayed here until dawn, and nothing strange happened, and then they left.
And that afternoon, Feng Yi really came over with Ling Xiangzi.
As soon as he came, Ling Xiangzi frowned and looked at Bixia Lake.
"This lake has quite a problem!"
