【Mian Pei】Dream

Chapter 11

In the early morning, Lingyou didn't chant sutras, but kept looking at the string of tiny sequins flying around his meditation room.Those were the few scale powders that Ye Zun dropped when he transformed into form before.Different from Ye Zun's black body full of evil spirit now, this string of scales still shone brightly, pure white and transparent like tiny fragile butterfly wings.

After going around a few times, the string of tiny sequins like butterfly wings stopped on the crack of the door. Lingyou looked at it, walked forward, and opened the door.Sure enough, the scales started flying again, tremblingly, they began to move forward in the porch, and finally circled around Pei Wende who had got up and was standing in the porch looking out.

"Good morning, master." Sensing that Lingyou had been looking at him, Pei Wende turned sideways and greeted Lingyou.

Lingyou's gaze, following the string of scale powder, stayed on Pei Wende's right shoulder.

Pei Wende noticed something was wrong, and followed Lingyou's gaze to the right, but saw nothing.

"Is there anything wrong?"

There were six pieces of flying scale powder, and at this moment they were gathered together with the one on Pei Wende's shoulder, a total of seven pieces, sticking to the gray cloth, especially conspicuous.

"Does benefactor Pei feel that something is wrong last night?"

"It's not wrong." After speaking, Pei Wende hesitated for a moment, and then said: "...It was just a dream."

Pei Wende has always had no dreams, he only vaguely remembers having some dreams when he was young, and after joining the Demon Suppression Division, he never had any dreams again.

But last night he had a dream.

In the dream, Shen Ye was haggard, the cinnabar between his brows was coquettish and beautiful, and he clearly said viciously that he wanted to eat him, but finally threw him down.The strange thing is that in the dream, Pei Wende actually felt that this was also very good, and he didn't have the slightest thought of resisting, and even wanted to just sink like this.

Seeing Pei Wende lost in thought, Lingyou took another look at those scales.

"There are some things, wait for Master Pei to finish these dreams, and then decide."

Will?

Pei Wende chewed this word carefully, looked at Lingyou's back, and fell into deep thought again.

After that, as Lingyou said, Pei Wende's daily dreams never stopped.

In the dream, only him and Shen Ye were surrounded.It seemed that in this world, apart from Shen Ye, there was nothing else that could distract him.The emperor's grace and the common people in the world have nothing to do with him anymore, all he cares about is Shen Ye.

In those beautiful dreams, there was the joy of him fighting side by side with Shen Ye, defending against foreign enemies, and finally standing on the city wall full of beacons and smiling at each other; Ye was grinding the medicine, and then An Ning suddenly looked at each other and smiled; and he knew that Shen Ye was a demon, but he still protected him in every possible way, and finally the two sat together by the campfire and were ridiculed by the demon master and others.

And after the sweet dream, it was a nightmare that repeatedly woke up Pei Wende suddenly.This kind of dream is usually messy and depressing, and the final result is always that he personally killed Shen Ye.Beheading, heart stabbing, imperial edicts that cannot be violated... In the end, what he faces will always be Shen Ye with tears dripping down his face.

No matter what kind of dream it was, after Pei Wende woke up, he would often fall into deep thought.

What kind of life he wants, with these dreams, seems to be gradually revealed.

"Benefactor, are you really going to do this?"

Lingyou looked at Ye Zun who was sitting opposite him with a determined face by the dim light.After hearing the question, the other party suddenly showed a nonchalant smile.

"I know that there is a demon-subduing formation in the imperial city, which can lock me and the ghost king together. But I don't intend to make myself suffer that for a long time for the sake of the world. Monk, you are a good person to the end, and you are directly linked to my consciousness. Seal it, kill it."

This is an understatement, as if it is not his own business at all.Lingyou looked at it, and then asked after a pause.

"Benefactor, you really don't plan to see him again?"

Ye Zun's expression froze, he blinked, and said after a while: "No....I'm afraid that if I see him, I won't be able to make up my mind anymore."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the direction of Pei Wende with nostalgia, and said slowly: "If there is an afterlife, I will be born as a butterfly. If I can be lucky enough to fly around his finger, that would be great."

After speaking, even though there was still a smile on his mouth, the tears in Ye Zun's eyes gradually gathered.He forced his eyes open to prevent them from falling out, and stubbornly maintained this smile, in exchange for a long sigh from the monk and a sentence of Amitabha.

At the same time, Wen Wende was dreaming.

In today's dream, the sun was shining brightly, the white butterfly that once sacrificed itself to eat the big dragon to protect him was flying around his index finger briskly and joyfully, the moment it finally landed on his hand, A cloud of black mist suddenly hit, smashing the butterfly with a palm.He looked around hesitantly, but saw Lingyou not far away and said to him with a cold face, "Almsgiver, love is the most stupid attachment in the world."

Pei Wende woke up with a start. It was still dark, and he could only feel tears rolling out in the darkness.This dream is different from the previous ones, it will not be so painful.

He put on his clothes hastily, lit the torch and rushed to Lingyou's meditation room.He had a hunch that the answer he wanted was there.

Pushing open the door, Lingyou saw a ball of light wrapped in Buddha's words in Lingyou's hand.In the center of the ball is a captive white butterfly, exactly like the one in the dream.

Pei Wende was taken aback for a moment, then gritted his teeth at Lingyou with red eyes and said, "What are you doing!"

However, Lingyou said with a cold face just like in Pei Wende's dream: "This is his wish, why don't you come?" After speaking, he handed over the ball of light.

Pei Wende subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch it, but he was afraid that once he took it, the ball of light and the butterfly would be crushed by him.He quickly hid his hands behind his back.

"Let him out!"

Lingyou looked at him. "Pei benefactor, do you know who he is and what his identity is?"

"Shen Ye...a butterfly demon..." Pei Wende spoke intermittently with a little loneliness.

"More than that, he is still a demon who ate the ghost king." Lingyou held the light ball in front of Pei Wende, "Now the ghost king coexists with him in his body, this time he came here late at night, hoping that I would seal him, together with the ghost king Kill."

"How come..." Pei Wende murmured, remembering the last time he saw Shen Ye, he said that the ghost king was no longer there.Did it actually eat it like that big flood...

"He is not a vulgar person at all, and he doesn't understand the seven emotions and six desires. It is only a matter of time before he attains the Tao and becomes a fairy. Now,...you have seen it, Master Pei." After Lingyou finished speaking, he retracted the light ball to his chest, showing a little bit pity.

"Benefactor Pei, you have seven scales that he dropped on your shoulders, and each scale represents one of his dreams. Now that the seven dreams have been completed, it can be regarded as a glimpse of his thoughts. The decision after that is up to you Certainly."

what?To kill or not to kill?

Pei Wende looked at the motionless butterfly in the ball of light with deep eyes.

"I had the eighth dream today, I don't want him to die."

Lingyou listened, and saluted in front of his chest. "Amitabha. Then benefactor Pei, you can enter his dream and help him kill the ghost king."

Reality, illusion, materialization of life and death.

According to Lingyou, the ghost king has been eaten by Ye Zun after all, and what is left is only the remaining consciousness.And Ye Zun was trapped in those consciousnesses and couldn't extricate himself, so he couldn't swallow it up for a long time, and instead was often stolen by the ghost king.As long as you break the myth, you can break the game.

What Pei Wende has to do is to help Ye Zun get out of those chaotic consciousness.

And once the ghost king feels that he is dead, he will really disappear.

"Pei Benefactor, you must remember that you must not fall into the chaos. Otherwise, you will also be caught in it and cannot be pulled out."

After hearing this, Pei Wende thought of Shen Ye's ruthless appearance in his first dream, and couldn't help but faintly smiled. "Even if he can't come out, he will be happy if I accompany him."

"No! Master Pei." Lingyou had a heartbroken expression on his face. "In this way, both you and him will have to die for the ghost king!"

"No." Pei Wende said, touched the piece of jade on the hat, then lay flat on the Zen bed, and closed his eyes.
