"Blame me."
Beiquan smiled and apologized to his boyfriend.
"I didn't expect to encounter such a strong mental disturbance in the dream, and I didn't give you protection in advance."
As far as Beiquan's current strength is concerned, in this world, there are few people who can make him collapse.
But in the dream just now, Beiquan really felt that his ability was obviously suppressed - he couldn't turn out the natal magic weapon, the all-image pen.
- It seems that some preparations have been made in advance.
Beiquan thought so in his heart.
But this is the next time he falls into a dream. Before that, he has to wake Jiang Nan'an.
Yes, Comrade Xiao Jiang is still asleep.
In the dream, there was Wei Fuyuan between Jiang Nan'an and Beiquan. Beiquan couldn't reach him. Naturally, he couldn't draw a Qingming spell on his palm like he helped Wei Fuyuan.
And Jiang Nan'an's willpower was obviously not strong enough to allow him to resist the hypnosis of "Tianyuan Zhenren".
As before, Beiquan awakened Jiang Nan'an with a spell.
Jiang Nan'an opened his eyes. He didn't vomit like Wei Fuyuan did, but sat on the mat in a daze, his eyes were straight, and there was no response for more than ten seconds.
"Little ginger!"
Tian Jiaxian raised his master and waved a few times in front of Jiang Nan'an, "It's dawn, it's time to recover!"
Jiang Nan'an rolled his eyes, his eyes still seemed to be wandering in the sky.
"It's amazing..."
This was the first sentence he spoke.
"Wow."
Tian Jiaxing reached out and touched Comrade Xiao Jiang's dog's head, "It seems that he is sleeping stupidly."
"It's the effect of dream hypnosis."
Beiquan smiled, "He needs some help."
Next, Beiquan asked the children with a higher salary to cook some cups of decoction to soothe the nerves, while he drew a charm with a dazzling brush and slapped the charm on Jiang Nan'an's forehead.
Jiang Nan'an seemed to have really woken up from his sleep.
He blinked forcefully at first, then shook his head vigorously, and slapped his face a few times.
"Fuck! F*ck!"
Jiang Nan'an rubbed his flushed cheeks and said repeatedly:
"I almost wanted to practice cultivation!"
"Do not blame you."
Beiquan pulled Comrade Xiao Jiang up, "Let's go, go to the restaurant."
He smiled and said:
"Drink some soothing tea, and then have breakfast. We are slowly going back to work."
&&& &&& &&&
Tuesday, August 31, 8:15am.
Beiquan, Wei Fuyuan, and Jiang Nan'an sat at the dining table and ate breakfast as usual.
However, today Wei Fuyuan and Jiang Nan'an have no appetite, they feel full after just two bites.
"So, the so-called 'preaching' is actually hypnosis?"
Jiang Nan'an held the hot soothing tea and sipped it in small sips.
To be honest, the taste of this tea is very strange, the entrance is quite bitter, but it also has the sweetness of licorice and brown sugar. The combination of the two is very unbearable.
But at this time, this strange soup was taken into the mouth, and then swallowed down the esophagus, the heat flowed through the throat, and the stomach was warmed, which made people feel a wonderful sense of peace of mind at the same time.
"Yes."
Beiquan nodded and confirmed Jiang Nan'an's guess, "This is a kind of hypnosis, or you can understand him as a subconscious spiritual guidance."
Later, he expressed his speculation, "I think the so-called 'Tianyuan City' is just a fabricated fantasy."
There are actually many secret realms that are not known to the world, and the secret realm of Zhuling where Beiquan Shimen is located is one of them.
However, the Tianyuan City behind the "Bipolar Gate" is not a secret realm in the true sense.
It was made up by someone in a certain way, relying on the illusion in the dream.
"You can understand that you are playing online games, and Tianyuan City is your game map."
Beiquan made a metaphor:
"And going through the 'Gate of Polarity', or entering the preaching hall, is equivalent to switching the map at a specific location."
"It turns out that, no wonder I always feel that something is not right!"
Wei Fuyuan nodded: "Now that I think about it, it should be that the feeling of 'Tianyuan City' is too lack of realism."
The shapes of Tianyuan City are various and tall, but other than "beautiful", there is no practical value.
Moreover, although the material of the building looks like marble, there is no trace of stone splicing at all, not even a scratch or a stain, which is really unreasonable.
Wei Fuyuan touched his chin, "There are so many flaws!"
In fact, when he saw the chair that resembled the "Iron Throne", he felt something was wrong.
Thinking about it carefully, everything in "Tianyuan City" is an artificially designed illusion.
The person who created these illusions may not have the ability to independently "design" a complete city, so he drew inspiration from other places to create such a "stone throne" that makes Wei Fuyuan full of visual sense.
Comrade Xiaowei even thought that if he spent a little time searching the Internet, he might be able to find more similar materials.
"So, this illusion was created by 'Shenzhen Tianyuan'?"
Jiang Nan'an asked:
"However, since it's just to attract people into the 'Tianyuan City', why is it so troublesome to score so many days, let's get closer to the 'Limited Gate' bit by bit in our dreams?"
"Of course it's to make us feel more 'substitute'."
Beiquan replied:
"Although I don't know who did it and how he or she did it, that person's ability is obviously not strong enough to pull someone into the 'Tianyuan City', so he chose to go step by step."
He smiled:
"Actually, the process of approaching the 'Bipolar Gate' step by step, isn't it another 'hypnosis'?"
Both Wei Fuyuan and Jiang Nan'an understood: "So it is."
The whole "Bipolar Gate" incident is actually a scam that gradually makes people "believe".
Some people put out rumors of "bipolar gate" on the Internet, and when such a concept is constructed in the minds of some people, the creator is equivalent to establishing a mental connection with these people.
Then he asked them to revisit the image of the "Bipolar Gate" repeatedly in their dreams, approaching it slowly bit by bit, just like uninterrupted hypnosis again and again, to consolidate their trust and attachment to the "Gate" until the belief is strong enough , in order to enter the Tianyuan City behind the "gate".
And Tianyuan Zhenren, who preached in Tianyuan City, was another hypnosis.
Beiquan has an excellent memory, almost unforgettable.
Moreover, he was already familiar with the Taoist classics, so he could easily hear that the so-called "sermon" of the real person just read some books that I did not know where to find it, and the content itself did not inspire wisdom, lead The effect of people getting started.
But Tian Yuan's "sermon" is itself a form of hypnosis.
Those who listen to his sermons will be instilled in their dreams with a strong cognition, and feel that the sermons of real people are profound and mysterious, such as Hong Zhong Dalu.
"really."
Jiang Nan'an nodded in agreement.
When he just woke up, his mind was full of the Taoist teachings taught by Tianyuan. He seemed to have suddenly understood a lot, and he was full of confidence in himself. Listen to the real person again.
Now that Beiquan has broken the hypnosis of Tianyuan Zhenren, Jiang Nan'an only thinks this idea is extremely ridiculous and extremely absurd in retrospect. However, at that time, this consciousness seemed to take root in his brain, which made him believe it.
"Then who is the 'Shenzhen Tianyuan'? And what is his purpose for doing this?"
Jiang Nan'an was very frightened and couldn't help raising his hand and rubbing his arm, "Since he has the ability to create an illusion like 'Tianyuan City', it must be... very powerful, right?"
"Not necessarily."
Beiquan shook his head gently: "Have you forgotten Xu Lei?"
Wei Fuyuan had mixed feelings when he heard the name of the junior.
Xu Lei's "Word Spirit" ability was not of her will, but she did kill many people because of this power.
Later, in order to hide her secret, she once wanted to kill Wei Fuyuan and their insiders.
To say that Xu Lei is pitiful is indeed pitiful, but she is not innocent.
Later, she died in the hands of Ah Chan, and the three souls and seven souls were taken away and became the raw material for making ghosts - such an ending is really sad.
However, when Beiquan mentioned Xu Lei at this time, he just wanted to use her as an example.
"It's more appropriate to say he's 'talented' rather than 'great'."
Beiquan said:
"He can construct a 'world' in a dream, and make those who enter believe in the rules of that 'world', which is a very rare 'gift' in itself."
"So we are going to investigate the true identity of that 'Shenzhen Tianyuan'?"
Jiang Nan'an poured himself another cup of soothing tea and took a sip:
"However, that person's incarnation in the illusion can be changed at will, right? The 'Shenzhen Tianyuan' is probably just a vest he squeezed out. Age, gender, etc. can be fake!"
"That's right."
Beiquan agreed, "So we have to find a way to find the true identity of the creator of the illusion."
"And we still don't know who the ghost is on."
Wei Fuyuan has been in the "Three Ways" for a few months, and he has some experience. "The creators of illusions and those who enter the dreamland may be the target of ghost possession, right?"
He tried to recall what he saw in the dream last night, "At that time, there were sixteen other people besides us who listened to the preaching of Tianyuan... It would take a lot of time to investigate one by one."
What's more, there is no way to take pictures and videos in the dream, and the three of them do not have the skills to draw portraits with bare hands from memory. In the absence of any image data, it is obviously not easy to find out the identity of each other based on verbal descriptions.
"right."
Beiquan raised the corners of his lips, revealing a wicked smile.
This usually means that the person has come up with some unkind idea.
"So, maybe we can change our minds..."
