Chapter 169: Dreams Shine Into Reality

Just a few days after the eruption of Furong Mountain, Qi Xuansu had a dream.

In the past, Qi Xuansu often had dreams, but the content of the dreams was mostly related to Lingshan or witchcraft. This time was different. There was no dark Lingshan, nor a shadowy witch. It was a completely different dream.

The beginning of the dream was still relatively warm. Perhaps it was a dream at night. Qi Xuansu married Zhang Yuelu in the dream, and the two had a daughter.

But at this point, the dream gradually became weird and began to develop in a terrifying direction.

Because their daughter looked exactly like Yin Wanmiao, as if Yin Wanmiao was born in their family.

That was fine, this daughter seemed to have some mental problems, as if her consciousness had been broken, and her soul had been sealed. She was dazed, stupid, and didn't cry or laugh. She only looked at Qi Xuansu and his wife expressionlessly. She was very dull and completely lacked the agility of Xiao Yin. To put it bluntly, she looked like a mentally retarded person.

Let's call her Xiao Yin. Xiao Yin has grown to eight years old in the blink of an eye, but she looks like she is five or six years old. She is very weak and frail, like a child who may die at any time. And there is something wrong with her left hand. It is obviously much thinner than her right hand. It seems to be withered and has no strength. It usually hangs limply. Fortunately, she uses her right hand to hold a pen and chopsticks.

Xiao Yin can understand what others say, but her reaction is slow. It takes a long time for her to fully understand. So she speaks very little, doesn't cry or laugh, and doesn't make trouble everywhere like another Xiao Yin. Every day, she quietly immerses herself in her own world, with her eyes straight and in a daze.

Occasionally, she talks to herself, but it is very vague, mumbling, and no one can understand what she says.

In the dream, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu live in Taishangfang, and there are some families around. Xiao Yin occasionally went out to play, and was often bullied by other children, called a fool, robbed of her things, soiled her clothes, and even beaten. She just stood there blankly, not knowing how to resist or run.

When Qi Xuansu encountered this, he would naturally teach those naughty children a lesson. Whenever this happened, Xiao Yin would lie in his arms and cry silently, soaking Qi Xuansu's clothes.

With Qi Xuansu's realm and cultivation, he roughly knew that he was in a dream, but after all, they were connected by blood, so Qi Xuansu could only accept this daughter with some problems, take her to find doctors and medicine, and talk to her, but all had little effect.

At the end of the dream, Qi Xuansu was handling official business as usual, and suddenly received a sound transmission note from Zhang Yuelu. Zhang Yuelu hurriedly said, "Come back soon, the head can't be connected." Then he interrupted the conversation.

Hearing these inexplicable words, Qi Xuansu had a bad premonition in his heart, and he didn't understand what the head was. Could it be a thread?

When Qi Xuansu returned home, he saw Xiao Yin's head flying all over the house like a flying head barbarian, screaming. The headless little body ran over and hugged Qi Xuansu tightly, crying in the chest.

Zhang Yuelu held the blood-stained "Pure Bodhi" in her hand, her dress was full of blood, and even her face was covered with blood. There was a strange beauty, and there was a strange light in her eyes.

Obviously, it was Zhang Yuelu, the mother, who chopped off Xiao Yin's head.

Zhang Yuelu was completely different from the Zhang Yuelu in real life. She showed an innocent look on her face and explained the cause and consequences.

It turned out that Xiao Yin didn't know where he got a body of white ash back, just like the white ash after a volcanic eruption, sticking to clothes and hair everywhere. Zhang Yuelu wanted to wash Xiao Yin's hair, but Xiao Yin didn't want to wash it and kept struggling. In order to make it easier to wash her hair, she took Qi Xuansu's "Pure Bodhi" and directly chopped off Xiao Yin's head, thinking that she would put it back after washing her head.

It just so happened that she also wanted to see what was in Xiao Yin's head, whether it was blocked by something, so she was stupid and disobedient.

But she didn't expect that the head couldn't be reattached after being cut off, so she hurriedly called Qi Xuansu back.

After Qi Xuansu heard it, he felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and then woke up.

He fell asleep leaning on the chair.

It was gloomy outside.

Just happened to hear the voices of Zhang Yuelu and Xiao Yin talking.

It seemed that Xiao Yin had caused trouble again, and people reported it to Zhang Yuelu. Zhang Yuelu was scolding Xiao Yin, but Xiao Yin was not convinced and talked back.

Qi Xuansu shuddered and hurriedly got up and went outside, fearing that Zhang Yuelu would not be able to hold back and cut off Xiao Yin's dog head with a knife, and then Xiao Yin would scream and fly around like Feitou Man.

After Qi Xuansu came out, the argument between the two women, one big and one small, also came to an end.

Zhang Yuelu in the real world still convinced Xiao Yin with reason and did not take action, which made Xiao Yin realize his mistake.

Qi Xuansu could not help but laugh at himself. How could he take things in a dream seriously? Zhang Yuelu was not that kind of person at all.

However, the conflicts between these women were a bit tricky. If he and Zhang Yuelu wanted a child, it would be best if it was a son, so that the yin and yang could be reconciled. Otherwise, the family would be too yin-dominated and yang-deficient.

The two mothers-in-law, plus Qiniang and Zhang Yuelu, are already four women, but there are only him and his father-in-law. The number of women is twice that of men. If there are more daughters, it will be five. The father-in-law is useless and can only hide in peace. The remaining women are not fuel-efficient lamps. One by one, don't they all fall on his head? Moreover, if there are three women in one drama, if a ghost elf like Xiao Yin is born who is also a master of getting into trouble, he will definitely not be able to deal with Zhang Yuelu and Cihang, but he will probably be in line with Qiniang's wishes. Three generations of two camps are entangled in each other. At the same time, I still don’t know how much right and wrong will happen. Just thinking about it makes me feel terrible.

Qi Xuansu shuddered when he thought of this, and suddenly he was no longer so eager to get married and have children.

But then I thought about it, if it was a son, then he could balance the yin and yang. The key is to be his shield, and he could also learn to hide quietly like his father-in-law.

Zhang Yuelu noticed that Qi Xuansu was standing there in a daze, with the expression on his face changing uncertainly, sometimes self-deprecating, sometimes anxious, sometimes panicked, sometimes relieved, sometimes happy, and even a little bit of the wretchedness of having succeeded, so he couldn't help but ask: " Tianyuan, what are you thinking about?"

Qi Xuansu suddenly came back to his senses and said: "I didn't think about anything, I just had a dream."

"What dream?" Zhang Yuelu asked curiously, "A great witch and Lingshan again?"

"No." Qi Xuansu pointed at Xiao Yin, "I dreamed that this ghost girl became our daughter, and then something went wrong with her head. If you want to see what's wrong with her head, just cut her head with a knife. Cut it down."

Instant silence.

Zhang Yuelu looked at Qi Xuansu and remained silent.

Xiao Yin also looked at Qi Xuansu and remained silent - she didn't expect that this guy Qi Xuansu would dream about her death!

Under the gaze of the two people, Qi Xuansu suddenly felt guilty and embarrassed, and his voice became smaller and smaller: "It's just a dream, don't take it seriously..."

Zhang Yuelu probably didn't know how to evaluate this dream, so he had to say: "Is it because I lectured Xiao Yin too loudly that it disturbed you? It made you have such a ridiculous dream."

"Not entirely..." Qi Xuansu suddenly noticed a lot of white ashes falling on the ground, "What is this?"

Zhang Yuelu followed Qi Xuansu's gaze and said: "Furong Mountain erupted, and some ashes drifted to Xiujing with the wind. It is said that Pingjing is the most serious. The whole city is 'wrapped in silver' and has turned into a veritable city." "Ashen City', Xiu Jing only has some sporadic ashes, not too much."

Qi Xuansu suddenly thought of it.

In the dream, the cause of the beheading was that Xiao Yin came back covered in white ash somewhere, just like the white ash after a volcanic eruption, which stuck to his clothes and hair everywhere.

Is there any connection between the two?

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but began to carefully recall all the abnormalities in Xiao Yin's dream.

First, he was unconscious, mentally retarded, and somewhat unresponsive. Secondly, there is something wrong with my left hand, I can't exert force, and my muscles are severely atrophied. Finally, he was frail and seriously inconsistent with his age. Although he was eight years old, he looked like he was five or six years old.

These three points seem to mean something.

Obviously, Xiao Yin in the dream does not refer to the real Xiao Yin, and Zhang Yuelu in the dream does not refer to the real Zhang Yuelu. Both are the embodiment of a certain existence.

Qi Xuansu has always believed that one person can be short-sighted and everyone can be wise, so he did not meditate alone and insisted on taking all the credit on himself. Instead, he seriously recounted the dream and his guess to Zhang Yuelu. Read it again.

After Zhang Yuelu listened, he also became serious and fell into deep thought.

After a while, Zhang Yuelu suddenly said: "That day in Ise Iino County, what we met was Izanozun's left hand."

Qi Xuansu was reminded by Zhang Yuelu and immediately woke up: "The left hand was weakened by the heavenly master, which corresponds to the weakness of Xiao Yin's left hand in the dream. If Xiao Yin in the dream is the embodiment of Yi Zangnuozun, then it means As Izanagi is now mentally retarded and his strength is greatly reduced, the eight-year-old only has the strength of a five- or six-year-old."

Zhang Yuelu nodded in agreement: "That should be the case."

Qi Xuansu said to himself: "If Xiao Yin in the dream symbolizes Yi Zangnuozun, then who does Zhang Yuelu in the dream symbolize?"

The two looked at each other and said in unison: "Taomen."

Zhang Yuelu said: "The eruption of Furong Mountain was probably because Master Qingwei broke the seal of Furong Mountain and released Izanozun's torso. It's just that Izanozun is no longer what he used to be. There are problems with his consciousness, strength, and left hand. He is destined not to be The opponent of Taoism. This also means that Taoism is about to take action against Yi Zangnuo Zun."

Qi Xuansu glanced at his left hand: "That's the only way to explain it."

Only Xiao Yin didn't know why: "Why is Xiao Yin in the dream the same as Izanozun? Don't you want to make up your mind in the fog, okay?"
