During lunch, Shangluo served a bowl of radish soup. He asked Lu Huaiyang. If he wanted to eat, he could only eat fairy root radish.
He took a small sip while the soup was still steaming. It's indeed hot.
But at this time, the hot feeling can actually make people feel more at ease.
"Fortunately, it shouldn't be in a dream. It's not so hot in a dream."
After waking up, he always felt a little uneasy. The source of uneasiness was the branch he had placed in the package.
He shouldn't have slept in the morning. But the "wake up function" last night was so effective. He was literally awakened from a dream.
But once awakened from a dream, it is difficult to maintain the dream. He will wake up naturally. According to Lu Huaiyang's instructions, he had to reset the wake-up function and go to sleep again. Sleep and wake up again, wake up and sleep again.
Repeatedly, he was in a light sleep state all night and did not sleep well at all. I got up early and went to school at five or six in the morning.
He wasn't that sleepy at first. But he didn't have breakfast in the morning, which made him a little dizzy. Although he caught up on some sleep between classes, he couldn't hold on any longer during the third period - he dozed off, just for a short while, and even the teacher didn't notice. The mysterious dream came in and made him go to the Priest King.
Although he received help from Hydra's troops, he was still a little hesitant whether he was in a dream or not, even after drinking soup. Is it true that you can’t eat anything hot in your dream?
Burning is pain, a sense, and sense is ultimately something that can be simulated in the brain. If the dream is really real, then naturally it can feel hot.
[Are you still worried? 】
"Well, that dream was so real, so real that it was almost like reality. It's just that I couldn't take effective actions at that time. It was as if I was looking at myself from a third-person perspective. Those Hydra troops Man, are they pretty good?”
[They have a great responsibility, and with that responsibility comes a 'high moral sense'. Although it's not absolute, the one you met is pretty good. 】
"It's not that I don't worry about them, I'm worried that they haven't sent me out of the dream yet."
[Everyone said it was not a dream, but a night. Where does the 'night' come from in broad daylight? If you don't believe it, just verify it yourself. 】
"Well" he glanced at Qi Yuan opposite:
"Monitor, please pinch my face."
"ha?"
"Pinch it and see if I'm dreaming."
After wiping his hands with a tissue, Qi Yuan reached across the table and pinched his face 270 degrees.
"It hurts, it hurts, it's okay, it's no problem. Why are you so strong?"
"After all, I still have Qi, but I haven't reached the stage of Qi training yet. The immortal roots I have gained over the years have not been in vain."
"Is everyone like this?"
"Yes." Qi Yuan nodded, "Kinei people who have been eating fairy root radish since childhood will basically not get sick as long as the innate Tao body is in their bodies. Their brains will be brighter and their hands and feet will be more flexible. So you see why it must be done We hold high-level events like formula racing when we are middle school students because the innate Tao body is the most stable at this time. It will be very troublesome the older you are, and those who have not been able to establish the foundation will slowly fade away. "
"After all, the immortal root radish is still just a radish, right? The power of a radish is limited after all."
"Yeah. I heard that Lan Fang was cultivating a new variety of bananas, but it seemed to have failed, and they had to be used for other purposes. It's a pity, otherwise it would be nice to add a banana to lunch - so why do you suddenly ask this?"
"Nothing. I just want to ask the monitor, if you think you may be dreaming, but you can't tell the difference between dreams and reality, what would you do?"
"Of course, find a calculator and press it. Because dreams cannot exceed your experience. If you can't calculate it when you are awake, you certainly can't calculate it in a dream. So you press a multiplication of three-digit numbers. , see what the calculator shows. Then do the calculations yourself."
"Hey, that makes sense." As he said that, he took out his cell phone.
"Do you have to use it now?"
"I'm a little panicked."
"Okay." Qi Yuan pushed the dinner plate to the opposite side and sat next to Shangluo. "You can use it and I will help you block it. Sometimes cultivators do get confused like this. Just don't get carried away."
"Thanks."
Qi Yuan was shielding himself from the side, and he pulled up the calculator under the table.
A minute later, he calculated the same result on scratch paper. The calculations on the manuscript paper were completed on the table, and it was a good thing to study all the time - even though these multiplications were only a first-grade elementary school course.
"So is there any quick way for me to judge in the future?" he asked Apollonia.
[As I said, nights are different from dreams. Dreams are experiential, so you can judge based on experience, in various ways. Night is transcendent, but it must be at night. This is the underlying setting of the symbol 'night'. It is impossible to go from day to night. 】
"But isn't the morning class during the day?"
[Because it was night in Rome. Jet lag, you idiot.]
"Ah!" Shangluo understood immediately, "I was in a daze at the time, and I didn't expect this. But it turned out to be calculated according to local time? Where is that?"
[So what did you see? The time you spent in your dream was so short that I didn't notice it yet. Did you get an old branch? Then did you see a golden laurel tree? 】
"It's the Golden Bough and the Priest King."
[That's the sacrificial site at Lake Nemi, in Italy - but it's amazing to be able to connect to it so far away at once. Generally, only in sacrificial sites can other sacrificial sites be connected. 】
"That can be teleported?"
[Yes, there is no distance limit in the dark. The Divine Walking Taibao Dai Zong’s Divine Walking Shrinking Technique also requires running at night. Mithraic temples throughout Rome were crypts, a tradition that comes from the crypt-style temples of ancient Greece. All the temples have the same layout, from the furnishings to the murals. The temples are connected through sympathetic magic, and as long as the furnishings remain unchanged, the connection will not be broken - in theory, they can move quickly through the sacrificial site, and after entering, they can reach other temples that have established sympathetic links. But including preparations for the ceremony and commuting time, it’s actually not much faster than flying. Still very troublesome. 】
"Then the Hydra troops can move over instantly?"
【That's impossible. Because there is no Mithraic sacrificial site in Cathay, unless they dig a crypt inside the embassy, but that is illegal. But I heard that recently they have a 'portable shrine' where a fire can be placed in place. 】
"Learning magic is quite convenient. Apart from the fact that many things need to be kept 'mysterious', it seems to be quite practical. But I always feel that something is weird."
