Chapter 3 The Dreamer(1/2)
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 on this continent have been changing continuously, various sects have sprung up under the temples, and then quickly declined, and the 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 detoxifying, rejuvenating the appearance, nourishing the fetus, tonifying the kidneys, relieving pain and stopping bleeding, etc. It is also of great benefit to those who practice Buddhism.
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 from then on, strange events began to occur frequently.
Either someone is haunted by nightmares and is killed by the dream monster "Incubus". Or someone suddenly mutates and transforms 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 Dazhen Dynasty after the Shadow Guard. It has great influence both in the court and among the people.
Any case involving "Red Rain", no matter what the identity, will be strictly investigated!
"Snapped!"
Tieniu slapped the transcript in his hand on the table and stared at Lin. "Liant Lin, you are so brave! We know that hiding Hongyu secretly is a serious crime!"
Since the establishment of the Night Patrol Division, it has begun to collect stored red rain 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 hide the 'Red Rain' secretly.
In the past twenty years, countless people have been imprisoned, beheaded, and had their homes confiscated due to the "Red Rain".
But the transactions secretly involving 'Red Rain' have been repeatedly banned.
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 Qintian Supervisor of the Chaotang, it was determined that there would be no more red rain, making it even more precious.
On the other hand, some forces secretly research and improve the existing 'Red Rain', maximize the effect of Red Rain, dilute and mix it and sell 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, you are wronged. I never hid Hong Yu secretly. I don't even have the guts to do such a illegal thing."
Dare you. 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. 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! There must be someone who wants to harm my little girl and my Lin family. Please be careful.
ah."
Leng Xinnan, who was experienced in eucalyptus investigations, could see that Lin Yuanwai and others seemed to be unaware of 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 dream demon has been eliminated, you still have to be careful. If there is anything abnormal, you can report it in time."
"clear."
Guo Gang nodded and left in a hurry.
Once you take 'Red Rain', the greater the dose, the higher the possibility of abnormality. 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 everything was done, 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 very 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.
, it’s really awesome.”
"It must be reported to the General Directorate for detailed investigation."
Leng Xinnan said calmly.
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 dream demon last night. Why didn't Yan Shuangying save her?"
Meng Xiaotu suddenly asked out of curiosity.
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 dream demon. It seems to be closely related. We will go to Wanjia again after we get back.
,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 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, her beautiful eyes sparkled. "There is a female doctor at the foot of Qingping Mountain. She seems to have moved from Hailing Prefecture two months ago. I heard that her medical skills are very good, and she only
How about you try treating a woman?"
"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 that was smeared with spices.
And the big red word "Happy" that was originally affixed to the window was blown down under the bed at some point, and a corner 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 dull musty smell, and the interior was dilapidated and decayed.
The red thing outside the window is no longer the dusk glow, but... red rain.
To be continued...
