The continuous collapse of the world around him gave Liang Yan an unreal feeling, which almost damaged his Taoist heart, leading to all kinds of delusions.
Fortunately, Liang Yan's moral foundation was solid and his will was strong. After only a moment of daze, he recovered.
He glanced around and saw that he was sitting in a cave. A black boulder in front of him seemed to be the "Starry Dream Stone" he had seen that day.
It's just that the thousands of stars that originally existed on the stone have disappeared. Not only that, the whole stone is also gray-white in color and is covered with many cracks. It has obviously completely lost its spirituality.
At this time, a voice sounded nearby:
"you're awake."
Liang Yan immediately looked around and saw a man in Taoist robes and a high crown, his back to him, sitting cross-legged, with a hint of exhaustion in his tone.
When Liang Yan saw Shan He, he quickly stood up, bowed his hands to him and said, "See, Lord Shan, this disciple is not doing things well."
Before he could speak, Shan Hezai waved his hand and said: "Needless to say, your first priority now is to meditate quickly and consolidate this hard-won cultivation. After all, what you gain in dreams is too foundational.
shallow."
After being reminded by him, Liang Yan discovered that his cultivation level was actually in the late stage of foundation building!
This was really a surprise. Although he had been practicing hard for decades, he always suspected that he was practicing in a dream. Once he broke through the cave and returned to reality, everything would be like a mirror.
But now that he has emerged from the "Star Dream Stone", his cultivation has actually been preserved!
Liang Yan's heart moved, and he immediately used his spiritual consciousness to detect the small white jade bottle in his arms, and sure enough he saw that there was no trace of the Taiyin Divine Thunder left in the bottle.
"Could it be that everything that happens in the dream will be reflected in reality? This 'Star into the Dream Stone' is indeed one of the three great treasures of the Yungang Sect!"
When Liang Yan thought of this, he did not dare to neglect and hurriedly sat down cross-legged to meditate again to consolidate his cultivation level.
After another two days and two nights like this, Liang Yan slowly finished his work and stood up, bowed respectfully to Shan Hezai and said:
"Thank you so much for protecting the Dharma, Uncle Master!"
Shan Hezai still turned his back to him and said calmly: "You don't need to thank me. There is something fishy about this matter. You have to answer a few questions of mine honestly!"
Hearing his serious tone, Liang Yan couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and thought to himself: "Yes, this matter is not over yet! Then Lan Chanxi died in a dream, and I am the only one who knows the truth of the matter. Now it can be said that he has died without any evidence. I
How can I make the head master believe in me?"
Lan Chanxi is a direct disciple of Lan Wangqiu who has been raising him for hundreds of years. She knows everything about her. However, she is only a new disciple of Yu Xuanji and has been missing for several years. If one of the two has a problem, who is the most likely suspect?
Ask and you will know.
Especially in the current situation, Lan Chanxi died in a dream, her ancestor's treasures were destroyed, and only Liang Yan came out alive, which means "I am not a good person!" was written on his face.
In just a moment, most of the clothes on Liang Yan's back were wet with cold sweat. Just when he was racking his brains, thinking about how to explain, he heard Shan He speak:
"First question, how did you get a blank page in the 'Real and Fake Book'?"
After hearing this, Liang Yan felt enlightened and knew that the book with the human face on the mountain wall was exactly the "book that looked both real and fake" that he was looking for on this trip.
He hesitated for a long time, and finally took out a small white jade bottle from his arms and replied respectfully: "It's all because of this thing!"
It's not that Liang Yan doesn't want to hide Xiaojiu's existence, but he also knows that this is definitely not the time to be clever. If he doesn't answer a question well, the consequences will be catastrophic!
Shan Hezai didn't even look back. Liang Yan only felt a huge spiritual consciousness sweeping through the entire cave. There was no secret left in him, as if someone had seen him through and through.
"It turns out to be the spirit of the cave"
Shan Hezai sighed softly, with a hint of desolation in his tone.
"The spirit of the cave? What is that?" Liang Yan was confused and asked subconsciously.
But Shan Hezai obviously didn't want to answer him, he just said calmly:
"Second question, what kind of technique did the demon who invaded Lan Chanxi's spiritual consciousness use?"
Liang Yan couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this question, and said to himself: "It turns out that the master master already knows everything, but I am worried in vain!"
Thinking of this, he felt a little calmer, and immediately told what happened after he entered the dreamland, exactly, and only concealed the details of his final fight.
"I see!"
Shan Hezai nodded slightly and said: "You are quite smart. If you had not seen through the true identity of this ninth evil thought, I am afraid that you would be like Lan Chanxi now and you would be dead."
When Liang Yan heard this, he finally couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Master, if you die in the dream of 'Stars Entering the Dream Stone', will you really die?"
Shan Hezai chuckled and said, "Do you think the things in your dreams can't be true? Then what's going on with your cultivation?"
Liang Yan was dumbfounded and didn't know how to answer. He just heard Shan Hezai continue to say: "The Star Dream Stone is just a container. The one who really has the ability to create cause and effect is the 'like-true-like-false book' in the ancestor's dream! I
Let me ask you, have you ever read that volume?"
Liang Yan nodded and replied: "Disciple has read it."
"Now that you've read it, please tell me, what is written on the first few pages?"
"Breaking the entrance!" Liang Yan replied without hesitation, because the first nine pages of the dark green book he saw that day, without exception, only had these three words written on them.
"Hehe, break the entrance, break the entrance." Shan Hezai said with a smile: "Do you know that the next step to the golden elixir realm is to break the entrance and achieve enlightenment?"
"What!" Liang Yan was slightly startled. He never thought that these three words actually meant this.
"Since the founding of the Yungang Sect, except for the founder, Master Xingyun, there have been nine seniors who have tried to break into this realm, and only three of them have succeeded."
Shan Hezai said this, paused for a moment, and then continued: "And these three people, without exception, all broke through the mysterious door in the dream of 'like a true and like a fake book', and proved the realm of enlightenment!"
When Liang Yan heard this, he suddenly recalled that although the first nine pages of the "Book of Truth and Fakeness" all contained the words "Broken Entrance", their handwritings were completely different.
Now that I think about it, the text in these nine pages should be handwritten by each of the nine seniors!
He had just turned around when he heard Shan He Zai say calmly: "Everyone who uses the 'Book of Truth and Falsehood' can get a period of dream cultivation time. The inscriptions on the pages of the book are to prepare the corresponding dreams for you.
But success or failure depends on personal opportunities. Although you got a blank page, you didn't write a word, so you only got sixty years of cultivation time."
