The appearance of Qiao Bui interrupted Xiaolan's original train of thought. Xiaolan stood there and recalled for a while before remembering her original goal.
Look for boundary markers.
It should be at the bottom of the mountain, the place that I was once so close to.
Xiaolan sighed and set off down the mountain without much hesitation.
As she walked, disappointment slowly crept into her heart.
Here, it's different.
Although this place looks exactly like the hillside she has seen before, breathing the air here, Xiaolan clearly knows that the answer she wants most is not here.
It's not time yet.
I feel this way for no reason.
But no matter what, Xiaolan is still running.
No matter what, I am getting closer.
Xiaolan quickly ran to the foot of the hillside. Panting, she looked at the scene in front of her and narrowed her eyes.
There is no monument.
In my memory, where the boundary monument stood, there seemed to be a person standing.
A man with his back turned to himself.
Xiaolan approached hesitantly, looking at the back figure with his eyes.
Somewhat familiar.
It seems like I just saw it not long ago, this is...
Xiaolan raised her hand and scratched her head.
"You..." Xiaolan started, "Is it Yi Yao? Or..."
The tall and straight figure turned around with a mysterious smile on his face.
"You recognized me."
Xiaolan pursed her lips and suddenly realized.
She understands.
This is a thought.
Yi Nian has entered his dream before, and this time is Yi Nian's second attempt.
"It was you who made me fall asleep at this time." Xiaolan felt a little dissatisfied.
"You fell asleep on your own initiative," Yi Nian shook his head as he spoke, "because I'm waiting for you here, and you want to come over and meet me."
"I know, I woke up before you finished speaking last time." Xiaolan's mood was very complicated, and she didn't even know how to react, so she could only look numb, "In that case, let's continue.
."
Yi Nian looked into Xiaolan's eyes with admiration and said slowly, "To be precise, I plan to ask you three questions."
"Problem?" This is different from last time, "What problem?"
"If you're ready to answer the question, I'm going to start asking," Yi Nian crossed his arms, looking like he was watching a show, "Are you ready?"
Xiaolan blinked.
After being messed with like this, Xiaolan really started to become suspicious.
After more than ten seconds, Xiaolan nodded hesitantly, "Ready."
"Okay, let's start with the first question," Yi Nian raised an index finger and raised his chin slightly, "Where are you now?"
"Ah...ah?" Xiaolan looked around subconsciously, "Is this...am I in a dream?"
"Is this your answer?" Yi Nian had a business-like attitude.
"Is this the second question?" Xiaolan had a sneaky attitude.
"No," Yi Nian looked like he wanted to roll his eyes, but held back, "This is just a supplement to the first question."
"Oh," the routine failed, Xiaolan curled her lips, "Yes, that's my answer."
"Very good, then let me start with the second question," Yi Nian's eyes seemed to have darkened, "For you, what is the difference between dreams and reality?"
Xiaolan opened her mouth and her brain began to spin.
This question cannot be answered casually.
Dreams, and reality.
For the first time, Xiaolan seriously thought about this issue.
***
The burning talisman wiped Luo Jiutian's cheek and stabbed towards a living corpse beside him.
The spell was like a flaming arrowhead, directly penetrating the body of the living corpse. The living corpse was knocked down by the huge impact, squirmed on the ground for a few times, and stood up again tremblingly.
Luo Jiutian had already flashed to the Taoist Priest's side. The two of them were back to back, frowning deeply as they looked at the living corpse and the countless living corpses around them.
These living corpses cannot be killed.
"But the good news is that there doesn't seem to be more," the Taoist priest said. "That's probably all there is."
"That's all?" Luo Jiutian looked at the living corpses densely surrounding them and said with a downcast face, "Taoist Priest, is this still too little for you?"
"Oh, that's not what the Taoist meant!" Qin Yin shouted loudly, "Aren't there more and more of these living corpses just now? There are not more of them now. This is a good sign!"
Luo Jiutian actually understood what the Taoist meant. He just wanted to talk nonsense. Talking nonsense was a good way to relieve stress for him.
Xia Hua's giant python suddenly passed by the two of them, knocking away several living corpses that were approaching them. Luo Jiutian looked at the giant python, thought for a moment, turned his right hand, and the pointer of Panlong Pond in his hand rotated rapidly.
Got up.
"Teacher Qianyuan, show up!"
There was water all around, so the Abyssal Dragon appeared soon. Luo Jiutian looked at his Abyssal Dragon, and suddenly thought that Xiaolan's life bug might also be a Abyssal Dragon, and his heart suddenly became unbalanced.
Is this a bug? They actually call this thing a bug? Are you kidding me?
Qianyuan's pupils began to turn red, and it circled its pitch-black body in a circle over the battlefield, its deep dragon roar floating in the air.
"Innocent——"
Luo Jiutian almost spat out the curse words and swallowed them back.
"How is this possible?!" Luo Jiutian was like a naughty child, "Teacher Qianyuan, they are bullying me! How is it possible that this is innocent?!"
"Because these people no longer have psychic powers," the Taoist priest explained while casting the spell, "they are not living people, let alone dead people, they are just corpses."
"Then what are we going to do?" Luo Jiutian reluctantly took back the Qianyuan Dragon, "If this continues, sooner or later we will be unable to withstand it, we will not be able to escape, and we will be exhausted!"
"I know a way!" Xia Hua jumped from the top of the giant python, her steps faltered and she almost fell, "I can repel them."
Luo Jiutian's eyes suddenly lit up, but then a layer of gloom fell over them.
"Sister Xia Hua, you are referring to your life-threatening insect!" Luo Jiutian said in a serious voice, "No, absolutely not!"
"Master Xia Hua, your life bug has crowed twice, and now you only have one chance left, so don't crow again!" Yi Yao shouted loudly, "There is still room for maneuver in things, so don't be reckless!
"
Xia Hua did not speak, but turned around and threw herself into the next attack.
Not long ago, his life bug had cried for the third time. In fact, he had no chance.
But she didn't say anything about it.
Everyone started a new round of counterattack, as if the conversation just now had never happened.
When the battle was in full swing, suddenly, an orange-red light spot appeared on the dark sky above everyone's heads.
Qin Yin was the first to notice it, and then everyone discovered the light spot.
It's falling and getting bigger.
Gradually become dazzling.
In an instant, the light spot turned into a fireball and landed on the water.
But the flame did not go out.
The red flames were suspended under the blue-black water. After a while, the flames turned into an orange-red fountain, spurting out from the water and sweeping up the bodies of the living corpses.
The living corpses immediately burst into flames.
Everyone's eyes widened.
In the flame fountain, a golden figure appeared.
She ran towards them.
At that moment, everyone couldn't even tell whether this was reality or a dream.
