Xiaodong concealed himself in deep thought.
These two stories are a bit similar to his situation, but not quite the same.
It seems to mean that Xiaodong and the two people mentioned in the book experienced some things and met some people in their dreams or when they were unconscious. These things are not fake.
But not an elephant. The first person didn't know if he had seen a ghost... Although Xiaodong had never seen a ghost, let's say this Cao Sheng had seen a ghost.
Xiaodong has never seen a ghost.
The second person went hundreds of miles away while unconscious, and many people actually saw her, talked to her, and even ate at the same table.
But Xiaodong was not seen.
This is the difference.
However, the person who wrote down these stories did not find out the reasons for these strange things, but simply attributed the story of Cao Sheng to the fact that the wronged soul was unwilling to die and was looking for opportunities to avenge himself.
The second story says that the drowning woman cared about her hometown, so she returned to her hometown and saw those relatives in a coma.
Then how did Xiaodong see things that happened or are happening in the dream
The elder brother helped Xiaodong sort out his dreams for several times.
Xiaodong saw what happened, Jiang Fan lost his hand oil, and Mo Chen went up to Lunjian Peak with his master, all of which he saw afterwards.
But this latest time, he saw what was happening.
Can see past and present.
In addition, Xiaodong's dream seems to be only able to return to the mountain, to be exact, within a radius of about a hundred miles. The area where the Zongmen is located is not too small, but it is not too big either. As for Lunjian Peak, it is less than a hundred miles away from the Zongmen, at most tens of miles away. Somewhere farther away, Xiaodong has never dreamed of it.
If the elder brother didn't tell him, Xiaodong himself would not have realized that in his dream, he had been wandering around the mountain gate of his house, and he didn't even come out of the mountain gate.
In this regard, he is different from the woman whose soul ran hundreds of miles away, how far did she run! In comparison, Xiaodong can be regarded as very unpromising.
Mo Chen also asked Xiaodong about some fragmentary dreams before going back and forth to Liushan. Xiaodong doesn't remember much of those things that have happened over the years, but what he can remember... It seems, probably, that he also dreamed about the people and things around him.
"Junior Brother Yun?"
Xiaodong came back to his senses, and quickly responded: "Senior Brother Ning, please tell me something."
"What are you thinking?"
Ning Yu has been watching him for a long time, and she is very curious to see the changes in Xiaodong's face.
Tilting his head for a while, scratching his ears for a while. Frowning for a while, sighing again for a while.
What is this child looking at, so much emotion
"Oh, this..." Xiaodong opened the book: "Have Senior Brother Ning read these two stories? Who wrote this book? Is it true?"
Ning Yu knew it with a glance.
The writing of these two stories is indeed quite interesting, and Ning Yu was quite emotional when she read it.
"It's hard to say if it's true, but I know who wrote the book. It's a senior in our sect. It's been written down for more than a hundred years. That senior loves to travel around, and sometimes he meets strange people on the way. Miraculous events will be recorded in the notebooks. There are dozens of notebooks that record events like this, but in the end there are only a few of them left. Some of them contain tips that are beneficial to practice, so naturally I can't bring them out casually. This book is nothing important, and others don’t care, so I kept it.”
"It's been more than a hundred years?"
Then this book must be considered well preserved. At least there are few books on Huiliu Mountain that are more than a hundred years old.
"That's right." Ning Yu read those pages, nodded and said, "These two things are confirmed by the locals, and they are definitely not fabricated. Especially the first Cao Sheng, no matter whether he encountered a ghost or not, then It is true that the body was dug up in this room. The man who was killed was murdered by his brother. After killing him, he lied that the man had gone on a business trip. Not long after that, his family business was Possessed. Perhaps Cao Sheng was suspicious when he heard about it, thinking about it every day, and dreaming at night.”
"Then it was a coincidence that the body was dug up?"
"Probably. However, the locals also had doubts and speculations, saying that this person had traveled far away, but the person was still at home the day before and had no plans to go out, and no one saw him go out. How could he disappear without a trace? If this If a person has not traveled far, or even stepped out of the house at all, then no matter whether he lives or dies, he must still stay in this house."
Xiaodong nodded thoughtfully.
Looking at it this way, dreaming about ghosts is unreliable. Cao Sheng may have just had a dream, and based on his own guess, he happened to dig out the victim.
"It's also possible that Cao Sheng knew something inside, and he used the dream to find out the matter thoroughly." Ning Yu said: "After all, Meng didn't dream of ghosts. He is the only one who knows, and his words are unfounded."
Xiaodong nodded.
Indeed.
This thing is nothing but talk. Cao Sheng said that he dreamed of a ghost, so what evidence does he have? The dead people dug up... Cough, can it be counted
"What about the second one? The second one is said to have been seen by many people." Xiaodong hurriedly asked.
"It's hard to say about this." Ning Yu turned back a few pages of the book in his hand and pointed it to Xiaodong: "Look at this line."
Xiaodong didn't see this place yet, so he quickly lowered his head to look at the place Ning Yu pointed out to him.
"I went to Fengjiaji on the sixth day of the lunar new year, but no members of the Feng clan were found..."
The handwriting here is extremely sloppy, and it seems that the person who wrote it is in a particularly bad mood.
"This is?"
"That's the problem. My senior just wanted to verify the authenticity of this matter. After hearing about this Feng's daughter, he deliberately drove hundreds of miles to her hometown to verify it. It turned out that there was nothing there. No members of the Feng clan were found."
"Didn't find it?" Xiaodong asked wonderingly, "Where did those people go? Did they move?" Ning Yu shook her head: "It's not written on it, so I don't know."
Xiaodong was a little disappointed.
That is to say, there is no way to prove the truth of Feng's daughter
Alas, probably not true either.
To him, neither of these stories was useful.
Seeing Xiaodong's disappointed look, Ning Yu guessed that he was probably interested in these strange stories.
This is not surprising, such a big child, who has just touched the threshold of cultivation, is particularly yearning and curious about gods, gods and weird things.
When I was this age, it was probably the same, right
Ning Yu liked Xiaodong quite a lot, and didn't want to see him unhappy, so she took the initiative to talk about it.
"It's hard to say whether the things in the book are true or not, but when the teacher was still young, he encountered a strange incident of leaving the soul."
"Huh? Really?" (to be continued)
