Luo Chen had a nightmare. He couldn't remember exactly what kind of dream it was, but it felt very similar to the strange scene he saw on the square stone at that time.
He was so frightened by this nightmare that he woke up, sat up from the bed, glanced at his watch, and found that less than an hour had passed since he fell asleep.
Luo Chen was a little irritable. Such a short period of time could not be considered a rest. He saw that there were still nearly three hours before Yu Wenjie and Xu Xu set off, so he lay on the bed again, preparing to fall asleep again.
However, this time, as soon as Luo Chen closed his eyes, he saw a pair of invisible hands in the darkness, coming over and grabbing his neck. The feeling was very strange, and Luo Chen felt creepy. He opened his eyes and used his hands in annoyance.
Cover your forehead.
I can't sleep at all if I go on like this.
"how so?"
Luo Chen was curious in his heart.
He had never been so hard to sleep as now, and this time he was still very tired.
After that, Luo Chen tried to fall asleep several times.
But he found that every time he closed his eyes, his spirit seemed to be dragged by an inexplicable force into a strange space. In that space, countless terrifying and strange scenes kept appearing, constantly stimulating his nerves.
Finally, Luo Chen gave up trying, got dressed, left the room, and went to Yu Wenjie's place again.
The door was ajar, Luo Chen gently pushed it open and walked in.
He saw Yu Wenjie still sitting on the chair on the balcony, while Xu Xu was lying on the bed and asleep.
Luo Chen came and sat down next to Yu Wenjie. She saw the papers that recorded the contents on the square stone neatly placed in front of Yu Wenjie.
The sun was shining brightly here. Luo Chen leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes and enjoyed the warm sunshine, which relieved his tired body.
Yu Wenjie asked Luo Chen in a low voice.
"Are you ready to rest so soon?"
Luo Chen sighed, slightly frustrated.
"I can't sleep. As soon as I close my eyes, I can see a lot of weird and terrifying pictures."
As he spoke, Luo Chen sighed again and shook his head.
He felt that such a situation was really a great devastation to his body and mind.
Yu Wenjie's expression instantly became serious.
"Is the scene you saw similar to what you saw on the square stone before?"
"It's really similar."
Yu Wenjie's eyes were filled with guilt, and she sighed quietly.
"This is a phenomenon manifested by the curse of Fang Shi."
Luo Chen looked at Yu Wenjie and blinked. At this moment, he only felt that his nerves were a little weak and he couldn't lift his spirits. Therefore, although he knew that Yu Wenjie's words were not a good thing, he couldn't express too much.
Strong emotions.
"My great-grandfather called this 'nightmare.' As the name suggests, once a cursed person falls asleep, he will see those horrific and weird pictures. This phenomenon will continue until a person's spirit is completely destroyed."
After a pause, Yu Wenjie continued.
"Most people who died due to the curse could not bear the mental devastation caused by nightmares, and suffered mental breakdown and slowly died. This is how my great-grandfather died."
Luo Chen nodded. He wanted to sleep but couldn't. He had to endure those weird scenes. It's easy to imagine the damage to a person's spirit.
For this reason, Luo Chen also worried about himself. If it were something in reality, he wouldn't be so worried. But now he is facing an illusion that is illusory and does not exist at all. Luo Chen is a little helpless.
Yu Wenjie held Luo Chen's hand and said softly.
"Luo Chen, don't worry too much, not everyone will stay like this forever."
Things have reached this point, and being pessimistic will not help.
Luo Chen didn't want the atmosphere to become too depressing, so he joked with a smile.
"Wen Jie, if you say this, I won't feel at ease at all."
Yu Wenjie lowered her eyes and spoke slowly.
"The degree of nightmares that devastate a person's spirit varies. For me, I felt that I couldn't hold on for a while, but then slowly, I found that the number of nightmares became less and less.
Until now, it has almost never appeared.”
Before Luo Chen could ask questions, Yu Wenjie took the initiative to explain slowly.
"How should I put it? I have spent a long time carefully studying the existence of the curse of the square stone mentioned by my great-grandfather. Unfortunately, I have not been able to draw a definite conclusion."
Luo Chen knew that Yu Wenjie still had something to say, so he listened quietly.
"However, some valuable information was also found. That is the curse Fang Shi placed on someone, which seems to be the result of a kind of mental hypnosis."
"Psychic hypnosis?"
Seeing Luo Chen's confusion, Yu Wenjie explained.
"This involves the peculiarity of the Yellow Emperor's internal text. I once took some rubbings of the Yellow Emperor's internal text and visited many experts in this field. They all agreed that the Yellow Emperor's internal text has the effect of pictographic hypnosis to a certain extent.
Features.”
"As the name suggests, after the Yellow Emperor's inner text is read by others, it will form a special existence in people's subconscious. For example, those weird scenes you see are caused by this existence. This existence will always exist in your subconscious
It will appear every time you want to fall asleep. This is a kind of mental hypnosis in disguise."
Luo Chen nodded clearly. Yu Wenjie's explanation gave him some concrete understanding of this so-called curse.
But the problem is, I still don’t know how to completely eradicate it.
"Is it possible that we can only find a way to lift this curse from the Yellow Emperor's tomb?"
Yu Wenjie nodded.
"Currently, it seems that this is the only possibility that can lift the curse."
Luo Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this.
"But I can't sleep now. How many days do you think I can carry it?"
Yu Wenjie's eyes became softer and softer.
"I was like you before. You can try to relax yourself before going to bed every time, and make sure you don't think about anything. You must, because as long as you have a little thought to connect with the curse, you will definitely see those nightmares."
Luo Chen nodded and said helplessly.
"It's a method. I'll try my best. Is this how you got through it?"
Seeing Yu Wenjie nodding, Luo Chen's expression slowed down, thinking that since Yu Wenjie could handle it, he should be able to do it. He believed in his own self-control.
However, Yu Wenjie did not tell Luo Chen that it would be a very painful process. At that time, Yu Wenjie could not hold on and relied on sleeping pills to fall asleep.
The most terrifying thing is that even a small amount of sleeping pills are not enough to suppress the occurrence of nightmares. Yu Wenjie once almost died after taking too many sleeping pills.
After hesitating for a moment, Yu Wenjie suggested to Luo Chen.
"Luo Chen, why don't you go back with me? I have a way to relieve your nightmare." (To be continued)
