Chapter 373: Waking up from a dream
The cold wind blew across the grass curtains of the ancestral hall, making them fiddle with the shadows of the moon.
In front of the back door of the ancestral hall, Little Li Mo looked up and looked at Ying Bing, who was wearing a black fairy dress and had clear hair. Her eyes were dim. She looked more like a fairy who had just come down from the bright moon.
Why did Bing Tuozi suddenly wake up?
But it's good that she woke up... Little Li hadn't breathed a sigh of relief yet, and suddenly felt something was wrong.
She was small and cute....
Did she really just wake up?
Did she remember what happened before?
The moonlight was shining brightly at this moment, and the bright silver light made the ancestral hall look like a silver daytime. Wherever the moonlight passed, the hideousness of the tomb beasts was frozen.
Even the Nian beast was no exception, and turned into a lifelike silver statue. The difference was that its eyeballs could still move, but the gloom in its eyes had turned into fear.
But Ying Bing didn't look at it, but turned her eyes back.
"Bing'er..."
Beside the statue of the ancestor.
Ying Xuliang and his mother stared at the graceful figure.
The girl in the painting and the little figure of their daughter, reality and dream seemed to overlap slowly at this moment.
Complexity appeared on the stunned faces of the couple, and then turned into relief and comfort.
"It turns out that we... are dead, this is a dream..."
"Our daughter has grown up healthily, hahaha, good, good... that's enough."
As the voice fell, silver light began to emerge from their bodies, and like other members of the Ying family, their figures seemed to merge into the moonlight and disappear.
Reality is the end of dreams.
They are about to disappear with the dream.
"You, you actually, woke up a long time ago?!"
"Only ten years, you have reached this point! You..."
The light on the black Nian beast's body cracked, and its head had broken free from it, and it lost its voice in disbelief.
Hmm?
Li Mo leaned back slightly after hearing this, and a small question mark appeared on his head.
Ten years?
He keenly caught these two words.
This Nian Beast knew that Bingtuozi was dreaming, and also knew that this was her ten years later?
How could a disaster beast that existed in a dream say such a thing?
Unless.....
A thunderbolt flashed through Li Mo's mind, and he remembered that Zou Yongfeng had said that he had seen a black shadow in the old house of the Ying family.
This Nian Beast originally came from the outside world! ?
So Fengzi was not wrong that day!
This Nian Beast, like himself, was able to slip into other people's dreams through special means. No wonder it was stunned when it saw him for the first time, as if it had never expected that he would appear here!
The Nian Beast did not begin to dissipate with the end of the dream.
This is the best evidence!
"Crack--"
Suddenly, the clear light on the Nian Beast shattered and exploded into crystals all over the sky.
It realized that the girl in front of it was no longer the little girl ten years ago, and even more than her ten years later.
This ability to control the moon, even in dreams, is definitely not something that can be possessed by the God-Observing Realm, otherwise, even in other people's dreams, it would not be possible to be so weak.
Li Mo saw the black Nian beast's figure turned into a black wind, rolling back towards the blank space in the dream.
Buzz——
A sword sounded.
A sword shadow suddenly emerged from the moon. The black Nian beast was fast, but its speed was even faster.
Li Mo even felt that it was a bit absurd.
It was as if the sword had just appeared, and the next moment it was slashed out directly. This was clearly something that just happened, but it seemed to have happened a long time ago.
It was clearly just a sword slash, but it seemed that thousands of strikes appeared at the same moment.
This sword was like a phantom that emerged from the cracks in time.
"Ahhhh!!"
The Nian beast screamed, and the black air around it surged. The sword that looked like a shadow in the moon pierced its body fiercely.
"You are looking for me, and why am I not looking for you?"
Accompanied by the girl's voice.
Li Mo saw the sword light blooming in the black fog.
It was beautiful and cold.
"How could I die in a dream!"
The desperate roar of the black Nian beast resounded in the ancestral hall.
The wounds on its body were slashed, and wisps of black evil spirit emerged. However, when it encountered the sword light wrapped in the moonlight, it was still destroyed.
.....
The outside world.
In reality.
The dark and windy night finally cleared up a little, and the moon hiding behind the clouds slowly became clear.
The moonlight illuminated the broken walls of the old house of the Ying family and the ruined ancestral hall.
A huge black shadow was lying in the hall at this time.
It was exactly the same as the black Nian beast in the dream, but it was not as big as in the dream.
"It hurts, it hurts so much..."
"Let me out... Let me out!"
The Nian beast rolled in pain and knocked down the broken wall next to it.
But even with such a violent movement, it could not wake up from the dream.
Moreover, various hideous wounds began to appear on its body, and black evil spirits also emerged from the wounds, which caused it to shrink rapidly as if it was leaking air, becoming smaller and smaller.
Gradually, it became only the size of a calf and stopped moving.
Black blood flowed all over the ground.
......
Inside the ancestral hall.
The black Nian beast, which was still ferocious just now, had fallen to the ground at this time, submerged in the silver moonlight, and disappeared.
The ancestral hall in the dream became extremely quiet without the movement of it and the tomb-guarding beast.
"Dead?"
Li Mo had a hunch that this thing was not only dead in the dream, but also probably would not end up any better in reality.
Hmm?
He suddenly realized that the perspective from which he looked at Bingtuozi was no longer looking up, but had returned to the previous perspective.
Li Mo realized it.
This dream was becoming more and more "realistic".
So he was no longer a child, but had returned to his youthful appearance.
The noisy New Year scene just now was gone, and the Ying family's clansmen were gone, and the surrounding scenes were blurred and collapsed.
The only ones left were Ying Xuliang and his mother, who were reluctant to leave.
The people who were reluctant were not them, but...
"Bingtuozi..."
Li Mo looked at Ying Bing on the side and found that her face was a little pale.
Bingtuozi's Taiyin divine will was related to time.
Now she is the one who maintains the dream, delaying the dream from falling into reality.
"Dad... Mom..."
The couple stared at their grown-up daughter and the Li family boy. There were many words they wanted to say in their eyes, but they just smiled:
"Daughter, the moon will set, the sun will rise, and no matter how beautiful the dream is, you will wake up eventually."
"After waking up, it's good to have a beautiful dream, good to have a beautiful dream..."
Their figures are being decomposed into silver spots, dissipating into the invisible, and even their faces are gradually blurring.
But Li Mo clearly feels that Uncle Ying and Auntie are looking at him.
"Thank you for coming into Bing'er's dream..."
......
More than ten years ago, an ordinary day.
The sun rose as usual, illuminating the dream awakening time of the Ying family compound.
Some clansmen were doing morning exercises in the square in front of the ancestral hall, and some squatted on the threshold to slurp noodles, facing the rising sun and the new day.
The sun shines through the bed in the wing room, and Ying Xuliang wakes up dimly. He looks at the morning light outside the window and murmurs:
"Wife, I seem to have had a very long dream..."
"I dreamed that Bing'er fed me dumplings, that she grew up, and that...she stood with a boy, who seemed to be...the boy from the Li family?"
"Me...me too."
Ying's mother also woke up, wiped her eyes, and found that she had cried at some point.
"You dreamed too?"
"Yeah..."
"Haha, it seems that we husband and wife will not sleep in the same bed but have different dreams."
Ying Xuliang laughed.
"You look dead..." Ying's mother was so amused by her husband that she stopped crying and rolled her eyes at him.
"My dear, let's make some dumplings today and take them to Brother Li's house to see his boy and see if he is as clever and annoying as in the dream."
"I'll go ask Bing'er if she is willing to go out."
....
PS: Dreams are the continuation of reality, and reality is the end of dreams. Xiao Pujie has remembered this sentence for a long time.
Bingtuozi's subsequent ability of spirit and form is also related to it. Until now, she is actually not in a complete and full blood state, not just in realm.
Xiao Pujie will not just brush aside the reason for her rebirth. It will be revealed slowly when the realms of the two gradually rise. It is definitely better to tell it slowly than to tell it openly.
I have to go out for dinner to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. There are two more chapters in the evening, so it may not be so on time.
I wish all viewers a happy Mid-Autumn Festival in advance. I wish you a long life and a beautiful moon together even if you are thousands of miles apart. 030.
