Since the Black Beast Tattoo revealed its ability, its practice gains have been very stable, and it has never experienced a similar situation.
Shen Hao asked twice in his mind, but got no answer from the black beast tattoo.
"What does it want to do?" Shen Hao understood that this was by no means unintentional, there must be a reason. But he had carefully sensed that the wisps of gain energy that "detoured" around the sea of consciousness did not cause any damage to him, and there was no sign of this energy spreading randomly. In the end, it still returned to the meridians.
No problem can be seen for the time being, and because the energy entrenched around Shen Hao's sea of consciousness has not been attributed to the meridians, Shen Hao's control over them is very limited and cannot be completely dispelled. So although Shen Hao felt a little upset in his heart, there was no way to eliminate it.
If Shen Hao finishes his homework today and checks again after finishing the exercise, he will see that the accumulated energy around the sea of consciousness is also slowly dissipating. Judging from the speed of dissipation, without new energy replenishment, it will be completed by tomorrow morning at most. Dispersed. In this way, Shen Hao felt a little more relieved.
At night, Shen Hao felt sleepy for a long time. As soon as he closed his eyes, he quickly fell asleep.
Tiredness came over him, and Shen Hao hadn't slept so deeply for a long time. He even had a dream...a dream? Shen Hao was startled subconsciously.
As a monk, "dreams", a state in which consciousness is separated from the actual environment, are not a good thing. It means that the sea of consciousness is not stable enough and the soul is not strong enough. It is a state similar to an illusion caused by the influence of the outside world on thoughts. We need to find ways to change through practice.
Shen Hao's soul strength is very high, far exceeding that of ordinary monks of the same realm. The sea of consciousness also grows against the limit of the realm every time, which is not comparable to ordinary people. So he stopped dreaming a few years ago. It can even be said that it is almost impossible to dream given his condition.
Now this strange thing has really happened. As soon as I fell asleep, I fell into a dream.
Something's wrong!
In the dream... Shen Hao frowned and found that his consciousness seemed to be very clear. He was not in a hazy state like in the dream, but felt more like he was trapped in some kind of illusion circle. But when he wanted to activate the true energy in his body, it seemed to be there and not there, and he was in a dissociated state. This was also strangely consistent with the characteristics of the dream.
So was he dreaming, or was he trapped in an illusion?
Or... trapped in a dream?
Shen Hao thought of the unusual place that appeared when he finished his homework today: the energy around the sea of consciousness that has not yet dissipated.
The energy itself is pure, so there won't be such a weird situation, it can only be the method of black beast tattoo. Could it be that Black Beast Tattoo is preparing to cause chaos?
Shen Hao was secretly vigilant, and at the same time he kept trying ways to get himself out of this state.
Suddenly, the scene in the dream changed, from the bedroom environment at the beginning to a dark stone room with a putrid smell in the air.
This is...a torture chamber?
The obvious furnishings around it allowed Shen Hao to recognize at a glance that the stone chamber that had suddenly appeared was a torture chamber. Moreover, judging from the size and diversity of furnishings, it was still the highest standard in a torture chamber. Generally, the most important people would be tortured. Arrange to be interrogated in this kind of torture room.
He walked to the big table with the torture instruments on the side and reached out to touch the nearby torture instruments on the table. They were very clean and had been cleaned carefully. You could feel it by touching them.
Laymen always think that torture instruments are bloody and dirty, but in fact it is quite the opposite. After the torture instruments were used, they had to be cleaned and cooked in the stove. Because in this way, prisoners will not get sick and die from the dirt on the torture instruments when they are being tortured.
"It's almost impossible to tell whether this dream is true or false." Even though Shen Hao knew that he had been tricked by the black beast tattoo, he had to say that this dream was exactly the same as reality.
Anyway, according to Shen Hao's perception, the dream he was led into was impeccable for the time being.
"It seems that this should be a dream constructed based on my own memory and the reaction of the sea of consciousness. Everything is in my own consciousness, so naturally I cannot distinguish the authenticity. In this case, I can only break it open with brute force This dream?”
Shen Hao could think of a way to break it with "brute force". That is to say, the vibration of the soul is used to stir the sea of consciousness to awaken the connection between the body and consciousness, so that one can wake up. It's just that this kind of brute force has very high requirements on the strength of the soul and the stability of the sea of consciousness. If the strength is not enough, it can easily damage one's sea of consciousness or damage the soul.
Of course, these problems are not problems for Shen Hao. As long as he wants to, he can use this brute force to escape, but it will take some time.
Soon, the dream changed again, and orange-yellow stones appeared on the floor and walls of the stone room. Each stone was different in size and shape, just like pebbles on the river beach.
"What are these?" Shen Hao was sure that he had never seen such stones. Squatting down, he picked up the piece closest to him. It was about the same weight as an ordinary stone, but it was crystal clear, with no aura reaction, and was accompanied by a faint smell of sulfur.
Shen Hao had never seen this kind of orange stone, and it did not exist in a real torture room. There was only one explanation: this thing was a dream projection caused by the black beast tattoo.
"Is it some kind of method against me?" Shen Hao guessed, but he didn't feel any threat or inappropriateness.
Just after I changed my mind, the dream continued to change: a deep pit began to appear on the ground, and the original orange-yellow stones on the wall and on the ground began to gather into the pit like crawlers, until the pit was covered, and finally the ground looked like Masking generally restores its previous appearance.
"This?" Shen Hao was watching the whole process. He also didn't feel any threat, but his deep doubts were real. This scene reminded him subconsciously of the illusions in the Sword Emperor's Tomb that conveyed the law. They were not trying to harm you, but were trying to convey something to you.
"Isn't it... that it's... communicating with me?!"
This idea immediately opened up Shen Hao's heart and made him excited instantly. You must know that the black beast tattoo has always been able to simply express "yes" and "no" with emotions. It is completely unable to communicate with complex content, which has also troubled Shen Hao for a long time. Now if we could communicate in a dream-like way, wouldn't we be able to exchange much more information?
But just as Shen Hao figured it out, the dreamland he was in began to collapse, and he had a strong feeling that he would escape soon.
Is this the end? ! do not!
But before Shen Hao could bear to leave, he opened his eyes from the bed in the bedroom and woke up after a few breaths.
