Chapter 459 The World Is Big in the Dream
The mourning hall was solemnly decorated, and there was an endless stream of people coming to express their condolences.
After all, the Qin family has a great business and is a presence that cannot be underestimated in the prosperous and prosperous Chenzhou. It is natural that weddings and funerals cannot be without people.
There are a large number of monks and Taoists chanting sutras. No matter what they think in their hearts, the faces of the relatives and friends who came to pay homage are solemn at this moment. The large amount of white paper money outside the mourning hall seems to be blown up and down by the wind like snowflakes. In the mourning hall, the Qin family members were standing or kneeling, crying bitterly.
Qinji stood helpless in the corner of the mourning hall, her face turned pale, her shoulders, hands and feet, and even her whole body were trembling slightly. This was the scene she was most afraid of, but it was so real and unfolded in front of her in an instant.
In this instant, her already fragile soul was defeated, leaving her unable to resist and was involved in it, unable to even think normally.
Even if he knew that this was all false, he could not go back to a few months ago, and he had just visited Ouyang Mansion at night with his benefactors. These were all suspicious things...
——However, humans are emotional creatures after all. When emotions that have been suppressed for a long time burst out, they will directly crush rationality.
"...until my husband dies, I will not be his wife. You can rest assured that my title will always be just that of a concubine..."
A cold voice came, full of bitter sarcasm.
Qinji looked subconsciously and saw a woman with forehead makeup between her eyebrows, her hair tied up in a high bun, wearing a wide-sleeved sweatshirt and a floor-length pomegranate skirt. She didn't know when she appeared, and she was standing not far away. That's it. Look at yourself.
She suddenly felt panicked and anxious, and instinctively defended herself: "No... I didn't think so..."
"No matter what you think, in the hearts of my husband and my parents-in-law, I am a hundred times better than your wife! If my husband hadn't been so kind-hearted and missed his old relationship, it wouldn't be your turn to be the wife today!"
The woman smiled mockingly, her tone becoming more and more bitter.
"..."
"..."
Qinji's face turned even paler. She had heard this kind of words once before at the Thousand Buddha Pagoda, and it was still so harsh when she heard it again. However, she had no way to refute. Instead, she subconsciously felt that the other party was actually right. .
In fact, she had already "teared" herself into two people, one was the blaming self, and the other was the accused self. She felt that everything was her fault, blaming herself for the entire tragedy, which turned into anger and resentment towards herself, and she even continued to attack herself.
It's all my fault...
It's all my own fault...
If I had not acted out of impulse, but continued to think of other ways with my husband, maybe many things would have been different...
If he hadn't left the letter and ran away in anger, leaving him alone for four years, maybe he wouldn't have died. Even if I could make up my mind earlier and come back a few months earlier, it might be a different scene...
In this emotion, her fists were clenched tightly, her knuckles turned white from the force, and her heart felt like bleeding, as if a wound that had not healed in the first place was cruelly torn apart.
And Jiang's bitter sarcasm is still ringing, or this is originally caused by Qin Ji's tendency to attack herself. In fact, it is not Jiang who is scolding her, but her own heart blaming herself. What is shown is Such a scene.
The mourning hall was filled with sadness.
Some people were choking while speaking, and some gray-haired old people were crying loudly. It was full of grief from white-haired people to black-haired people.
But they didn't seem to notice at all that the two women in the corner, or in other words, turned a blind eye, listened but ignored the past, as if Qin Ji and Jiang were in another space completely different from them.
The voices of monks chanting sutras, the voices of choking and crying, and all kinds of sounds are just like the pure background of this mourning hall.
Qin Ji was also unaware. She just lowered her head, her face turned pale, and her mind went blank. She silently endured the harsh accusations and felt the heart-breaking pain.
"... Before my husband was alive, I was the one who waited on him day and night, preparing medicine and dressing for him. He also treated me like a treasure..."
"...Husband and wife are of the same heart and connected with each other, even if...even if his illness can no longer be cured, in just a few months, they will be like a couple of gods and gods..."
"...What? You don't like to hear? Don't you like to hear how my husband-in-law and I are in love? That's right, you abandoned him for four whole years! Not four days, four months, four years! Why do you still have the face now? Come here, I don’t think my husband wants to see you again..."
She felt that all the movements around her were fading away, that she was sinking into the darkness that could swallow everything, and that Jiang's spicy duties were heard one after another from the distant horizon.
Slowly, it seemed that even her consciousness began to blur, and when she was about to sink completely into the boundless darkness, a soft voice suddenly came quietly.
"Dreams, shadows, mist, and flowers are all empty space. Because my mind is messy, I just chase away all the dust. It's not as good as - everything is scattered!"
At the same time, in just a moment, a strange force seemed to come from the distant sky, like the gentle moonlight illuminating the earth covered in darkness, directly dispelling the confusion, emptiness, and sadness. , pain, loneliness, helplessness and other negative emotional scenes.
The mourning hall, the cries, Jiang's family, all these scenes disappeared together in the suddenly broken space.
"..."
"..."
Qinji looked up blankly, and found herself standing in a space with uncertain light and dark, deep illusion, and seemingly various colors that were constantly changing and changing, like a mirror.
And not far ahead, there was a beautiful girl wearing blue and purple gauze with picturesque features staring at him. That kind of clear and slightly cold and dreamy temperament is really impressive.
Qinji subconsciously blurted out: "Miss Liu? Is it you?!"
"It's me, Sister Qinji... It seems to have been successful. This unknown dream that involved us is so chaotic, confusing and changing, it can be called a myriad of phenomena. It took me a lot of effort to find your whereabouts."
Liu Mengli exhaled softly, seemingly relieved, and said softly with a smile -
"The dreamer's divine will is beyond imagination. Compared with it, the soul of ordinary people is like the light of fireflies competing with the bright moon in the sky... But fortunately, he does not seem to be deliberately targeting us, so he can let I have leeway.”
"I see, is this a dream... Wait, you mean, whose dream are we entering? When did it happen..."
Qin Ji's mental state was very bad. What just happened had a huge secondary impact on her, making her quite depressed, so much so that she was a little slow to react. It took her a few breaths to react.
She suddenly felt horrified and stunned. If she had broken into some legendary mysterious formation and was fascinated without knowing it, then this would be easy to understand...
But the fairy-like girl in front of her said that someone was actually dreaming, and the divine will was so powerful that it naturally involved herself and others in her dream? !
So what happened just now? Could it be that the dreamer knew even the most fearful things in her heart, or that he had completely seen through all her secrets when she was involved?
"That's not the case. Although we are involved in that person's dream, it is equivalent to us dreaming in his dream. It is just a dream within a dream that is included in a larger dream... …”
Liu Mengli explained softly that although she didn't know the specific rules of this dream realm, she could still be sure of such things.
"In other words, it was actually me just now..." Qin Ji's expression changed, but then she smiled bitterly and shook her head repeatedly, feeling somewhat relieved.
But at the next moment, she seemed to have thought of something, and she subconsciously looked at the dreamlike beautiful girl in front of her: "Wait, if that's the case, why do you, Miss Liu...you seem to be unaffected?"
"..."
"..."
Liu Mengli smiled and said nothing, just looked at her quietly.
"I'm sorry, I was presumptuous..."
Qin Ji woke up and found that her mood was completely messed up now. She was not at all like the sassy heroine she used to be who walked around the world and enjoyed revenge. She let out a long sigh, gathered her mood and looked at the deep void with uncertain light and darkness around her. He opened his mouth and asked:
"What should we do next?"
"If Sister Qinji has no objection, we can go look for other people's dreams first, and then discuss the rest after meeting everyone."
The girl thought thoughtfully and expressed her opinion——
"I can vaguely feel where they are, but this dream is far more than that. It is vast and seems to include countless dreams within dreams..."
As she spoke, she waved her hands gently, and something strange suddenly happened around her.
It is like the rotation of a kaleidoscope, which will continuously combine different patterns. You can faintly see all directions, up, down, left and right, as if the clouds and mist have dispersed, revealing a layer of heaven and earth behind the colorful.
In the deepest place where light and darkness are uncertain and illusory, there are countless bright spots like stars, some dim, some bright. They are countless lingering memories and countless wishes, just like peeking into the dreams of countless people. Feel--
There are scholars who study hard in cold windows and have red sleeves that add fragrance...
There are people in the rivers and lakes with swords and swords, deep hostility, and swirling evil spirits...
There are also sunsets that are infinitely beautiful, but the lamentations, regrets, and fears of the dying people near dusk...
With just a quick glance, Qin Ji saw so many scenes that were dizzying for her to see. She couldn't help but said in surprise: "This is..."
"It's a dream...the dream of many people." Liu Mengli said softly, watching this scene, with a strange light flowing in her eyes, "This number is probably that of the people in the entire Chenzhou, and all the dreams are connected together... "
"What?!" Qin Ji was also startled, "In other words, someone really wants to harm the entire people of Chenzhou?"
"Probably not. Dreams are not just nightmares. There are also sweet dreams or ordinary dreams. Moreover, we are involved in it when we are awake. We also have preconceived notions that we have fallen into some kind of trap. Only when our thoughts are disturbed can we lead to danger. Huansheng..."
The fairy-like girl glanced at Qin Ji and sighed softly.
"And these people... they are not actually awake when they dream, and they often don't realize anything. Their dreams are relatively unaffected. Maybe they are just dreaming."
"But is there any point in doing this?"
"I don't know." Liu Mengli said lightly. She could only confirm the nature and many characteristics of the dream, but it was impossible to predict the purpose of the person who caused all this.
"Maybe it's needed to practice some special technique? Or maybe it's just that person... There's something wrong with his state of mind that he can't control?" She thought about it and felt that there were only two possibilities.
"If we discuss here, we 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 lead the way. Let's go find other people first..."
"Well, that's fine... But sister Qinji, we were still in our own dreams before. Whether the situations we faced were dangerous or not, at least they were transformed by our own thoughts and memories, and they were things we were relatively familiar with. "
Liu Mengli nodded, hesitated, and then reminded.
"But now, when we wake up, we need to use the dreams of the people in Chenzhou to travel, or directly travel in the dreams of the dreamers. What we need to face is the dreams of the people in Chenzhou, or simply the dreams of the dreamers. …”
The former is not too troublesome, but the latter is likely to represent a huge threat.
When ordinary people dream, the dangers they dream about are often just the same thing... However, the dreamer's divine will is so powerful. I am afraid that there are immortals and gods. Who knows what scenes and things will be transformed into his thoughts and memories?
When Liu Mengli was very young, she knew that she was different from others. She could easily travel in and out of dreams and influence other people's dreams, so she was able to do such things.
But precisely because she was familiar with this field, she felt unsure and knew that the next step might be dangerous.
