"Caiyi?"
When Chu Liang heard this name, he felt very familiar.
During the Shushan summit, he and Jiang Yuebai fell into the sea of clouds. In the small wooden house at the bottom of Shushan, they saw what seemed to be the diary of an ancestor of the Yan family, and this name was mentioned in it.
It was a woman named Caiyi who told him how to break the Demon Suppression Tower.
It's just that five hundred years have passed before and after, and the name may not necessarily be the same person... so Chu Liang was surprised and didn't make too much noise.
"The murmuring sound was like a demonic voice filling his ears. Chun Yutu, who was the weakest in cultivation, was hallucinating and almost going crazy. I used Confucian secrets to help him regain consciousness. But even I was struggling to hold on."
Xue Ziyang continued: "We feel that something is really wrong there. The demonic aura around us is getting stronger and stronger, and a large part of it seems... to be emanating from the woman from the Western Region."
"I was the first to say that I didn't want to go any further. This secret realm is weird and we are not capable of exploring it. When the others were hesitating, the woman said that now that we are here, we are no longer needed... She allowed us to leave .”
"By this time we also understood that her cultivation level may be far superior to ours. We just need some people who are familiar with Zhennanyu Mountain to lead the way, so we exited the secret realm one after another."
"But even though I returned to Kaoshan City, I still felt very uncomfortable. It seemed...that something was affecting my soul." Xue Ziyang pointed to his head, "Sure enough, on the first night after returning, a red moon appeared over Kaoshan City At that moment, I felt countless voices calling in a trance. I had a splitting headache and almost fell into madness..."
"Although I barely managed to survive the first night, I could feel that the call would become stronger and stronger, so I hurriedly came to the teacher's gate to ask for help."
"The nightmare should have been planted in your souls the moment you entered the secret realm," Wei Lang said.
The existence of nightmare is mysterious and strange, and it is still not fully understood by people, only that it is indescribable.
Ji Lingyu asked: "Could this nightmare be implanted into the human body like poison?"
As a great scholar of the time, Wei Lang's attainments in the art of divine soul far surpassed others. He immediately explained: "Nightmare is a kind of existence between reality and reality. The virtual world and reality are two completely different worlds. Although it seems now Maybe it is thousands of miles away from Ziyang, but it may be right next to him in the virtual world. In ancient times, the human race had a inheritance called "Dream Technique", which specialized in practicing the avenue of virtuality and reality, and they have studied this method quite a lot. Deep. It is a pity that with the disappearance of the founder, Dameng Immortal Lord, this dream technique has been lost. Later generations can only understand this method from the description of scale claws."
The avenue of virtuality and reality is extremely mysterious, and Chu Liang's understanding of it is quite limited.
He only knows that the virtual world is independent from the real world, but it can affect the real world. For example, the Pluto Sect's Soul-Absorbing Order transmits messages through the virtual world.
It is very far in the real world, but it may be very close in the virtual world.
No matter how much, there are blind spots in knowledge.
Wei Lang continued: "To untie the bell, you still need the person who tied it. If you want to completely get rid of the threat of the red moon, it seems that the only way is to go deep into the secret realm again and completely kill the instigator. In order to save your life, I have no choice but to do so." I won’t go there again.”
Yan Qihu nodded and said, "I also want to go for a walk."
Chu Liang looked at the two of them. If the civil and military forces worked together to enter the mountain, they would probably be able to solve the problem. I just happened to follow along and complete Gu Erniang's assignment.
So he spoke up and said: "If the two seniors are going to explore the secret realm, I happen to know an elder who knows a lot about Zhennan Yushan. She can also go with us."
…
Naturally, Yan Qihu was unwilling to take his junior with him, but Xue Ziyang's current condition obviously meant that he could no longer return to Zhennanyu Mountain, and his previous guide had died suddenly. The only one who can lead the way to the Abyss of Dreams is Chu Liang.
If Chu Liang was just doing it for Tiangang Sect, he actually didn't want to put himself in danger. But he owed Gu Qingyuan a favor, so he had to take Gu Erniang to find him no matter what.
So with two masters in charge this time, it is the best opportunity to join forces.
He asked Xue Ziyang in detail for a while and confirmed that the place they followed the woman from the Western Region was the Abyss of Dreams that they had gone to last time following the southern route. Just why the painting style of the secret realm on the other side of the abyss is so different will only be known later.
Ji Lingyu heard that Chu Liang had actually found his thirteenth aunt, so she decided to follow her even if she made a noise. Seeing her accompanying her, Tang Shi was naturally not far behind.
In the end, Yan Qihu had no choice but to bring all the juniors with him.
Fortunately, they are all leaders among the younger generation, so they may not necessarily be held back.
"When you get to that dangerous place with demons, be sure not to come forward." He still gave a few reminders, fearing that a few of the little ones would be contaminated by nightmares and end up dying violently.
With Wei Lang's help this time, he is also full of confidence.
Anyone who can become a great Confucian in Junzitang is naturally smart, and the only shortcoming of the Tiangang Sect has been filled.
The great scholar was well prepared and even specially requested a book of soul-suppressing books from the Junzi Hall, specifically to restrain this weird evil spirit involving the soul.
After returning to Kaoshan City, Chu Liang immediately went to find Gu Erniang.
He also brought Ji Lingyu with him.
"Are you done with your work over there?" Gu Erniang asked when she saw Chu Liang.
Chu Liang had told her before that she needed to deal with the Tiangangmen affairs first, and she thought she would have to wait for a few days.
When she saw Ji Lingyu's Xuanyuan pupils, her eyes became a little unkind.
Chu Liang guessed that she might have thought that she had informed the Ji family and that Ji Lingyu came to see her, so he hurriedly said: "The plan has changed. This time our destination is the same, so I thought Erniang, you can come with us." . With the two great masters of Tiangangmen and Junzitang sitting in charge, it is quite safe. This girl Ji Lingyu also ran away from home..."
Hearing what he said, Gu Erniang's expression softened slightly.
Ji Lingyu stepped forward timidly, "Thirteenth Aunt, I have heard your story..."
Chu Liang believed that the two of them must have hit it off. After all, from a certain perspective, Gu Erniang could be regarded as the champion of the runaway competition of the previous generation of the Ji family.
After some conversation, the aunt and niece really had a very pleasant conversation. Ji Lingyu greatly admired her aunt's deeds, and Gu Erniang also liked Ji Lingyu's intelligence.
After a long while, she looked at Chu Liang again: "Since there are already two powerful men in charge, I will not raise more manpower and will only wait until we enter the mountain tomorrow."
"That's good." Chu Liang responded.
It was getting late at this time, and everyone could not go into the mountain at night, so they rested in Kaoshan City for the night. I don’t know if Xue Ziyang of Junzitang can survive the night. There must be so many Confucian experts sitting in charge, so it should be no problem.
Ji Lingyu stayed at Gu Erniang's place, and the aunt and nephew seemed to have had some drinks and had a long talk all night long. The night wind passed by outside the house, and their words vaguely echoed in the wind. What seemed to appear most often...
"The Ji family's dogs don't even come back."
