Stray Chapter 51: Dream of Heaven and Earth
The mourning hall was decorated solemnly, and people came to offer condolences in an endless stream.
After all, the Qin family has a big business, and it is also an existence that cannot be underestimated in the prosperous and prosperous Chenzhou. It is natural that there is no shortage of people for weddings and weddings.
A large number of monks and Taoists were chanting sutras. No matter what the relatives and friends who came to pay homage were thinking, their faces were solemn at the moment. A large amount of white paper money outside the mourning hall seemed to be blown high by the wind like snowflakes. Suddenly, the Qin family who were standing or kneeling in the mourning hall were crying bitterly.
Qin Ji stood at the corner of the mourning hall at a loss, her face turned pale, her shoulders, hands and feet, and even her whole body were shaking slightly. This was the scene she was most afraid of, but it was so real in a moment. in front of.
In an instant, her already fragile soul was defeated, and she was involved in it without any resistance, and she couldn't even think normally.
Even if I know this is fake, I can't go back to a few months ago, and I just visited Ouyang Mansion with my benefactors at night. These are all questionable things...
——However, human beings are emotional creatures after all. When emotions that have been suppressed for a long time burst out, they will directly crush reason.
"...Until the death of Xianggong, I can't be his wife, you can rest assured that my status will always be just a concubine..."
The indifferent voice came, full of pungent sarcasm.
Qin Ji looked subconsciously, and saw a woman with makeup on her brow, her hair in a high bun, a wide-sleeved tunic and a pomegranate skirt that she didn't know when she appeared, standing not far away. Just look at yourself like that.
She was suddenly panicked and anxious, and instinctively defended herself: "No...I didn't think so..."
"No matter what you think, in the hearts of the husband and father-in-law, I am a hundred times better than your wife! If it wasn't for the husband's kind heart and a little bit of old love, where would it be your turn to be the wife today? !”
The woman laughed sarcastically, her tone getting more and more pungent.
“…”
“…”
Qin Ji's face turned even paler. She had heard this on the Thousand Buddha Pagoda once before, and it was still so harsh to hear it now, but she had no way to refute it. Instead, she subconsciously felt that the other party actually said Quite right.
She has actually "torn" herself into two people a long time ago, one is accusing herself and the other is accusing herself. She felt that everything was her own fault, and she blamed the whole tragedy on her own reasons, which turned into anger and resentment towards herself, and even she was constantly attacking herself.
It's all my fault...
It's all my fault...
If I had not acted impulsively, but had continued to think of other ways with my husband, perhaps many things would have been different...
If he hadn't left a book in a rage and left him alone for four years, maybe he wouldn't have died. Even if I can make up my mind earlier and come back a few months earlier, it may be a different landscape...
Under this emotion, her fists clenched tightly, her knuckles turned pale with force, and she felt blood dripping from her heart, as if the wound that had never healed was brutally torn again.
And Jiang's spicy irony is still sounding constantly, or this is originally caused by Qin Ji's tendency to attack herself. In fact, it is not Jiang's scolding her, but her own heart blaming herself. This is what came out.
The mourning hall is full of sadness.
Some people are choking and talking, and some old people with white hair are crying, full of sadness from the white-haired people sending the black-haired people.
But they didn't seem to notice that the two women in the corner, or they turned a blind eye, didn't hear, and ignored the past, as if Qin Ji and Jiang were in a completely different space from them. .
The sound of monks chanting, choking and mourning, all kinds of sounds, just like this mourning hall, seems to be just a simple background.
Qin Ji also seemed not to notice, she just lowered her head, her face was pale, her mind was blank, she silently endured the harsh accusations, feeling the bitterness of this heart-wrenching pain.
"...Before Xianggong died, I served him day and night, cooking medicine and dressing for him, and he also treated me like a treasure..."
"... Husband and wife are of one heart and mind, even if... even if his illness is incurable, in just a few months, it's not like a fairy couple..."
"...What? You don't like to hear it? Don't you like to hear how my husband and I are in love? That's right, you left him for four years! Not four days, four months, but four years! What are you doing now? I still have the face to come here, I think Xianggong doesn't want to see you again..."
She felt that all the movements around her were going away, she was sinking into the darkness that could devour everything, and Jiang's spicy duties came one after another from the distant horizon.
Slowly, it seemed that even her consciousness began to blur, and when she was about to sink into the boundless darkness, a soft voice suddenly whispered.
"Dream shadow fog flower, full of void. Because the mind is messy, just follow the dust, it is better - everything is scattered!"
At the same time, it's just a moment of effort, a strange force seems to come from the distant sky, like the gentle moonlight illuminating the dark-covered earth, directly dispelling the confusion and emptiness. , and scenes of negative emotions such as sadness, pain, loneliness, helplessness, etc.
The mourning hall, the cry, the Jiang family, all the scenes and components of this all disappeared together in the suddenly broken space.
“…”
“…”
Qin Ji raised her head blankly, and found herself standing in a dark, illusory and deep space. It seemed that various colors were constantly changing and changing, like a Wanhua mirror.
And not far from the front, there is a beautiful girl in a blue and purple gauze, with picturesque eyes staring at her. That kind of clear and slightly cold and dreamy temperament is really impressive.
Qin Ji subconsciously blurted out: "Miss Liu? Is it you?!"
"It's me, Sister Qin Ji... It seems to be a success. This unknown dream that has drawn us in is chaotic, blurry and changing. where."
Liu Mengli exhaled softly, as if she was relieved, and said softly with a smile——
"The divine will of the dreamer is beyond imagination and powerful. Compared with the divine soul of ordinary people, it is like competing with the bright moon in the sky with the light of firefly... But fortunately, he does not seem to be deliberately targeting us, so Only then can I have room to exert myself."
"So that's the case, is this a dream... wait, you mean, who's dream we entered? When exactly..."
Qin Ji's mental state is very bad. The incident just now had a great secondary impact on her, making her so depressed that she was a little unresponsive. react.
She suddenly felt horrified and stunned. If she said that she had broken into some legendary mysterious formation and was fascinated and didn't know it, then this is understandable...
But the fairy-like girl in front of her said that someone was actually dreaming, and the divine will was so tyrannical that she naturally involved herself and others in their dreams? !
What happened just now? Could it be that the dreamer even knew the most feared thing in her heart, or that when she was involved in it, she had thoroughly seen all her secrets?
"No, although we are caught up in that man's dream, it's like we are dreaming in his dream, but in a dream contained in a larger dream It's just a dream..."
Liu Mengli explained softly that although she didn't know the specific rules of this dream realm, she was still certain about such a thing.
"In other words, it was actually me just now..." Qin Ji's expression changed, but then she laughed bitterly and shook her head again and again, feeling somewhat at ease.
But at the next moment, she seemed to have thought of something, and subconsciously looked at the beautiful girl in front of her like a dream, "Wait, if you put it that way, why is Miss Liu... you don't seem to be affected by it? Affect?"
“…”
“…”
Liu Mengli smiled without saying a word, just looked at her quietly.
"Sorry, I took the liberty of..."
Qin Ji came to her senses and found that she was in a completely messed up mood. She didn't look like the sassy heroine who walked around the rivers and lakes with joy and hatred. Deep into the void, he asked:
"What should we do next?"
"If Sister Qin Ji has no opinion, we can go to find other people's dreams first, and then we can discuss other things after meeting with everyone."
The girl thought and said, and put forward her own opinions——
"I can vaguely feel where they are, but this dream is far more than that, it is vast, and it seems to include countless dreams within dreams..."
As she spoke, she waved her hand lightly, and suddenly a strange change took place around her.
It seems like a kaleidoscope spinning, which will continuously combine different patterns, and you can faintly see all directions, up and down, left and right, as if the clouds and mists disperse, revealing the colorful world behind it.
In the darkest, illusory and deepest depths, there are countless bright spots like stars, some dim, some bright, those are countless lingering memories, countless wishes, like peeping into the eyes of countless people It feels like a dream-
Scholars who study hard in cold windows and add fragrance to their sleeves...
There are swords, lights, swords, shadows, fierce anger, and people in the rivers and lakes...
There are also sunsets that are infinitely good, but the lamentation, regret and fear of the twilight near dusk...
Just a glimpse, Qin Ji saw many scenes that made her dizzy and couldn't help but say in surprise: "This is..."
"It's a dream... many people's dreams." Liu Mengli said softly, staring at this scene, with a splendid splendor flowing in her eyes, "This number is only the people of the entire Chenzhou, and all the dreams are linked together. now..."
"What?!" Qin Ji was also taken aback, "That is to say, someone really wants to harm the people of Chenzhou?"
"It shouldn't be. Dreams are not only nightmares, but also beautiful dreams or plain dreams, and we are involved when we are awake, and we have preconceived ideas about what trap we have fallen into. It will lead to dangers..."
The fairy-like girl glanced at Qin Ji and sighed.
"And these people...they are not awake when they dream, and they often don't realize anything, and their dreams are relatively unaffected, perhaps just dreaming."
"But what's the point of doing that?"
"I don't know." Liu Mengli said lightly, she was only able to confirm the nature and many characteristics of the dream, but it was impossible for the prophet to know who caused all this and why.
"Maybe it's needed to practice some kind of special magic? Or maybe it's just that person... What's wrong with his state of mind, and he can't control it?" She thought about it, and felt that maybe it was just these two kinds of things. possible.
"We discuss here, probably won't get an answer..." Qin Ji forced herself to calm down and looked directly at the beautiful girl in front of her, "Miss Liu, please come and lead the way, let's find someone else first. ..."
"Well, that's fine...but Sister Qin Ji, we were still in our own dreams before, and the situations we faced, no matter whether they were dangerous or not, were at least transformed by our own thoughts and memories, and we were relatively familiar with them. things.”
Liu Mengli nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then reminded.
"But now, when we wake up, we need to use the dreams of the people of Chenzhou to travel through, or to communicate directly in the dreams of the dreamers. What we need to face is the dreams of the people of Chenzhou, or simply the dreams of the people of Chenzhou. A man's dream..."
The former is not too troublesome, but the latter is likely to mean a huge threat.
Ordinary people dream, and the danger they dream is often the same thing... However, the dreamer's divine will is so tyrannical, I am afraid that it is the existence of immortals and gods, who knows what kind of situation his mind and memory will be transformed into. thing?
When Liu Mengli was very young, she knew that she was different from others. She could easily move in and out of her dreams, and could influence the dreams of others, so she was able to do such things.
But because she is very familiar with this field, she feels that she is not sure and knows that it may be very dangerous.
