Chapter 38 Nightmare Beast Dream (1)

"Good wine! It's really addictive! For the sake of this good wine, I will help you get out of here."

"Thank you, senior!" Hearing the old man say this, Xu Yang was overjoyed.

"However, if you get out of here, you can only reach the inner layer of the Ghost Howling Land. Calculating the time, tomorrow is the fierce wind period, the Ghost Howling Land will be temporarily closed, and even here will be full of fierce wind. The most urgent thing is to find a way to avoid the fierce wind first."

Speaking of this, the old man pointed at the frog-shaped wine pot.

The frog-shaped wine pot actually kicked its feet and jumped onto the old man's palm.

The old man looked Xu Yang up and down and said, "This beast is called "Nightmare Beast". It was given to me by my master for cultivation because he saw that I was stupid. Two hundred years ago, my original body was lucky enough to break through the void and stepped into the fairyland. My current body is just a trace of my shadow left in this world.

This beast is not from this world, but was brought back by the fairy master from the legendary evil spirit world. So before this beast becomes a fairy body, it cannot go with me.

This beast has two talents. One is that it can turn ordinary mortal wine into spiritual wine rich in spiritual power, but you can't be greedy each time, otherwise, it is possible to get drunk for a hundred years. Second, there is a different space hidden in the belly of this beast."

The old man paused and continued, "This is also the biggest use of this beast. The space in its belly has its own unique time law. Cultivating in this space for sixty years is about twenty days outside."

Hearing this, Xu Yang couldn't help but be stunned. There is such a heaven-defying treasure in the world. Isn't it that one day of cultivation in it is equivalent to three years outside?

Seeing Xu Yang's look, the old man smiled proudly and continued, "However, to enter this space, the user must reach a dream state. That is to say, after entering this space, the scene inside is the same as the user's dream.

Dreams are uncontrollable, so entering them is very risky and you may die in the dream. The reason why I can use this beast to practice is because I have practiced the "Dolphin Brain Splitting Technique", which can divide the practitioner's brain into two parts, half of which is sleeping and dreaming, and the other half of the brain is running flexibly as usual. In this way, even if one of the brains encounters danger after entering the dream, the other brain can be awakened at any time. In this way, you can freely enter and exit the space inside the belly of this spirit beast."

Speaking of this, the old man suddenly paused, looking a little sad.

"The reason why I left a residual image here is because I have an unfulfilled wish. When I was a young boy about the same age as you, I traveled and passed by the East Dolphin Spirit Island and happened to save a beautiful girl named "Hai Yue'er"."

Speaking of this, the old man's eyes were unusually bright, as if he was recalling the beautiful past.

"Miss Yue'er taught me the "Dolphin Brain Splitting Technique" in return, and gave me a strand of the divine dolphin blood of the Eastern Dolphin Clan, which helped me complete the practice of this technique. We fell in love and vowed to become a couple in cultivation. But at that time I had a mission for the sect, so I had to return to Zhongyuan Continent first. When I completed the mission and returned to the East China Sea, Miss Yue'er was nowhere to be found.

I have followed my master's orders to guard this place of ghost howling, and I will never have the opportunity to go to the East China Sea again. Two hundred years ago, I was lucky enough to ascend to the fairyland, but I left this regret in my heart. So , I left a clone here, ready to go find Miss Yue'er.

However, I overlooked one thing, my original body is no longer a thing of this world. Even this clone is repelled by the interface power of this world. The mana of this clone is always consumed here, and it is impossible to travel far to the East Dolphin Spirit Island. Even the life span of this clone is gradually lost under the repulsion of the interface power. If I hadn't used the dormancy technique to slow down the loss of life span, this clone would have died long ago. "

Speaking of this, the old man sighed.

"I don't know if I'm drunk, I talk too much. Let's stop talking nonsense. The problem now is that you and this Lin'er have to hide in the space inside the nightmare beast. Your risk is that you must enter her dream and successfully wake her up from the dream. Otherwise, both of you will be unable to return from her dream. "

Hearing this, Xu Yang had to think carefully in his heart.

After a moment, he replied, "Rather than staying here and being corroded to death by the fierce wind, it is better to take a risk and explore."

"Well, young man, you are quite courageous. You are the first person to come to me. This old man's clone has a short life span. If you can get out of the nightmare beast's belly by chance, I am willing to make a deal with you. The content of the deal will not be too late after you get out of the nightmare beast's belly safely."

"Thank you, senior."

"I will teach you the magic formula of using this beast." After saying that, the old man gently touched Xu Yang's forehead with one hand, and a ray of blue light gathered into a bright spot on Xu Yang's forehead. When the blue light spot disappeared, the magic formula of using the nightmare beast was all imprinted in Xu Yang's mind.

"Thank you, senior."

"There is no time to lose, go and prepare."

...

In front of Lin'er's couch.

Xu Yang looked at Lin'er with her eyes closed, carefully placed one of Lin'er's hands on the head of the nightmare beast, and placed his hand on the back of Lin'er's hand.

Silently reciting the spell, the nightmare beast emitted a large amount of blue light. Soon, the blue light filled the whole room. When the blue light dissipated, Xu Yang and Lin'er disappeared. In the empty room, only the nightmare beast was left squatting on the table.

…

Xu Yang felt that he was in a dense cloud. After an unknown period of time, the cloud dissipated and he found himself outside a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, but there was no trace of Lin'er.

Could this be Lin'er's dream?

Xu Yang pinched his chin with his hand, and felt a pain. It seems that what the senior said is right, and you can still be hurt in dreams.

There is no time to lose, it is important to find Lin'er as soon as possible. Looking at the city gate in front of him and the crowds of people entering the city in twos and threes, Xu Yang followed the crowd to the town.

The scale of the town is about the same as that of Qingshi Town in Xu Yang's hometown, but the architectural style is very different. Several rivers are crisscrossed, and a row of row of willows on the riverside has just sprouted green buds. Several stone arch bridges are built on the waterway, and pedestrians shuttle on it. There are houses and shops on both sides of the river, and occasionally the shouting of merchants can be heard. It is a prosperous scene of a small town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Xu Yang stood on a stone bridge and looked at the people coming and going.

He thought in his heart, where should he go to find Lin'er next? Since this dream is the living place of mortals, I guess Lin'er will also be in an ordinary family. But I can't knock on every door. If I disturb the order here, Lin'er's peaceful dream will turn into a nightmare scene, and I won't be able to bear it.

Thinking of this, Xu Yang decided to walk around and try his luck.

Seeing a girl with a figure similar to Lin'er in front of him, Xu Yang immediately took two quick steps to catch up. With a glance, this girl was not Lin'er. He shook his head in disappointment.

Just like that, he walked and searched on the street. After going around most of the town, he still couldn't see Lin'er. Xu Yang felt a little lonely.

As the sky got darker, there were fewer and fewer people on the street.

Xu Yang decided to find an inn to stay in first. This small town is a small town for mortals, and the currency in circulation is gold, silver and copper coins. Xu Yang has been practicing in the Tiangui Sect during this period, using spirit stones, and he is penniless. He had no choice but to pawn a delicate dagger that he often carried with him in a pawnshop for two taels of silver, and then found an inn to stay in.

Xu Yang sat cross-legged on the bed in the inn, regulating his breathing and preparing to continue looking for Lin'er the next day.

The next day, early in the morning.

Xu Yang continued to go out to look for Lin'er. In this way, he searched for several days in a row, and the whole town was searched by Xu Yang, but there was still no trace of Lin'er.

In addition to food and accommodation. After a few days, Xu Yang's money was almost gone. Xu Yang decided to find a way to make money first, and then slowly look for Lin'er's whereabouts.

"Fine wine, three taels of silver per jar." A handsome young man shouted in an open space on the side of the street.

There were several wine jars in front of him, and each wine jar was pasted with a red diamond-shaped paper label with "Eighteen Falls" written on it. The young man selling wine was Xu Yang.

"It seems that making money is also a difficult thing." As he said, Xu Yang weighed the silver in his pocket.

At noon, he went back to the inn to eat some food, and in the afternoon he began to look for Lin'er's whereabouts all over the city.

After a few days of this, there was still no news from Lin'er, and Xu Yang felt very disappointed.

This morning, Xu Yang decided to sell wine again and try his luck.

"Little brother, how much is your wine?" A clear voice like a wind chime came into Xu Yang's ears.

Xu Yang looked up and saw a cute little girl standing in front of Xu Yang's stall. The little girl looked about eleven or twelve years old.

Seeing the little girl's appearance, Xu Yang couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of intimacy. It seemed that he had seen this little girl before, but he couldn't remember it.

"Little brother, how much is your wine?" the little girl continued to ask.

The little girl asked again, interrupting Xu Yang's thoughts. Xu Yang quickly replied: "One tael of wine is ten coins, and a jar of wine is two taels of silver."

The little girl put her nose close to the opened wine jar and smelled it.

"It tastes so spicy, it smells similar to the fine wine that Daddy drinks on weekdays, so let's have a pot." As she said, she handed a wine pot with a belt that she carried with her to Xu Yang.

Xu Yang took the wine pot, then scooped out some white wine from the wine jar and filled the pot. He handed it to the girl and said, "Little sister, take your wine. One catty of wine costs one hundred coins."

The girl took the wine pot and shook it.

"It looks like it's enough." After saying that, the girl smiled, then poured out two silver coins from her purse and handed them to Xu Yang.

The girl's smile didn't matter. Xu Yang slapped his forehead hard with his hand, pretending to be enlightened.
