Gu Mingke walked into the garden, he stared at the strong purple flower tree in front of him, raised his hand silently, and covered the trunk.
The spiritual power flows along the trunk and flows into the root system extending in all directions. The roots of the tree were extremely huge, Gu Mingke followed the fibrous roots in the center all the way down, and finally saw the deep scene.
There are many bones buried under the tree. Looking at the shape of the bones, there are some people and animals in these bones. There are three skeletons clinging together, one male and one female on both sides, surrounding the slender and young skeleton in the middle. It looks like a pair of parents and children.
They have horns on top of their heads and long tail vertebrae behind them, and the cub in the middle doesn't even grow horns.
Gu Mingke withdrew his consciousness, and his spiritual power was instantly withdrawn from the depths of the ground. Judging from the shape of their bones, this should be a long-extinct nightmare beast.
The Nightmare Beast is a kind of strange beast, with the supernatural power hidden in the unicorn on its head, which can lure people into dreams. Therefore, they are hunted and killed by many people, just to pluck out the horns on their heads to make incense for the powerful. Gradually, the nightmare beast became extinct
The predecessor of this palace? It used to be an ancient temple. Those in power killed it. Many slaves and strange beasts gathered Fengshui. After a long period of time, they were forgotten. Until the last emperor of the previous dynasty came here to play, he discovered it by accident. It is a treasure land of geomantic omen with beautiful mountains and clear waters. The last emperor of the previous dynasty liked this place so much that he immediately had the temple demolished and turned it into his palace.
Later, the dynasty changed again, and the Xing? Palace fell into the hands of Li Tang, and was seized by the Wu family. The male favorite disliked the sweltering heat in Luoyang, so the empress brought her sweetheart to this palace to escape the summer heat.
The kingship on the ground changed several times, but the bones buried in the ground melted day by day, rotted into mud in the dark, and blossomed again. In order to please the king, the palace people planted many exotic flowers and plants in the palace. The corpse breath of the nightmare beast bloomed purple flowers along the rhizomes, and steamed out a fine sweet fragrance, just like the incense pills that were burned in the Han Palace back then. In general, it helps people fall asleep and induces people to fall asleep.
There are purple broken flowers on the grassland, unknown purple flower trees in the palace, and places where there are bones of nightmare beasts, there are such beautiful and fragrant flowers. The flowers bloom every year, but no one can name this purple flower. Because, it has no name.
The flowers blooming from the corpse should not exist in the world? How could it be named
Gu Mingke verified his own conjecture, withdrew his hand, and hurried to the bedroom. Li Chaoge was still in a dream, and every time she stayed there, the danger increased.
The Nightmare Beast is a kind of auspicious beast. When its unicorn hits people, the people hit can have a sweet dream all night. Powerful nightmare beasts can even sense the opponent's past? life? present life, and then throw them into dreams. It is precisely because of this supernatural power that they have brought disaster to their lives.
The nightmare beast is auspicious when alive, but it is completely different after death. Especially the Nightmare Beasts buried under the palace were dead in vain. They had been buried underground for many years without seeing the light of day. Their souls were still restrained and could not leave.
The purple flowers only bloom for half a month. During this month, they will lure people into dreams, and then quietly devour each other's souls in the dreams. Manipulation spells have been similar since ancient times. The more emotional and sincere the subject is, the easier the manipulation will be to succeed. Spiritualism tends to pick sentimental young women with concerns in their hearts, and the selection principle of nightmare beasts is similar.
People who like people in their hearts tend to think too much, and are easily drawn into dreams, especially when the sweetheart appears in the dream, most people will choose to stop in the dream. This gave the Nightmare Beast a chance. The Nightmare Beast will replay the life of the prey's favorite person in the dream. If there are ups and downs, the prey will often resonate strongly, and even willing to give everything to change the fate of the sweetheart. This is the easiest time to attack. Nightmare beasts help the prey change the ending, weave an illusory dream for them, and take the opportunity to suck the soul of the prey. The prey is indulging in a dream, happily staying with the person he likes, but in real life he has already died silently.
Therefore, every year in the palace, some women die without illness, without a murderer or illness, and even the corner of the woman's mouth was smiling when she died. This year the Queen came, and the Nightmare Beast found a more suitable target, so they let it go? This group of ladies.
I also know that most of Gong'e's sweethearts are ordinary people. When it comes to the ups and downs of life, they can't compare with these princes and grandchildren. Li Chaoge has learned the magic of immortality, and her soul is stronger than ordinary people. She has experienced two lives, and her love-hate entanglement is deeper than others. No matter from which aspect, she is the best target.
Gu Mingke guessed that there should be other people in the palace who were recruited, but now he can't take care of it, so he must rescue Li Chaoge first.
Gu Mingke is a god, he would not be affected by the nightmare beast, but someone spied on his fate, he felt it, and also saw fragments of his life. At first, Gu Mingke thought it was just a coincidence, but dreams happened one after another, and Gu Mingke finally confirmed that it was the Nightmare Beast.
But it's too late now? Li Chaoge fell into a dream and couldn't extricate himself. If the dreams of the two are synchronized, then Gu Mingke probably knows what she will experience next
When Gu Mingke returned to the palace, he asked the maid: "Where is the princess?"
The maid stood guard in front of the candle and whispered, "The princess is still sleeping."
This is a regrettable and unsurprising answer. Gu Mingke said: "I'll watch it from now on, you all go out."
Gu Mingke is the son-in-law, so the maids went out without any doubt? The maids blew out the candles and gently closed the palace door. After the people left, the room returned to silence. Gu Mingke sat in front of Li Chaoge's bed, and called again in a low voice: "Li Chaoge?"
This time he used his spiritual power, but Li Chaoge still didn't respond. This is really a very troublesome situation. The nightmare beast's dream does not agree with other fantasy dreams, and the practitioners often stay in the dream voluntarily. In this case, it is difficult for the outside world to wake them up. Based on the clips he saw, Gu Mingke secretly calculated that during the time he was out, Li Chaoge was going on in his dream? At what point did he reach
Counting the time, at least the Battle of Changling has come. Nightmare beasts have a powerful ability to weave fantasy dreams, and the dreamer can empathize with them to the greatest extent. The happiness and pain, bloodshed and injury of the dream owner will all be passed on to the dreamer. Gu Mingke knew exactly what was going to happen next, so he didn't want Li Chaoge to experience it at all.
Before the maid left, most of the lights were extinguished, and there was only a small lamp left in front of the bed. The candle wick flickered and fell into complete silence.
Gu Mingke looked at Li Chaoge's side face in a daze, if the selected person's emotions were not sincere and pure, he would not be pulled into a dream at all, let alone fall into an illusion so quickly. The person she dreamed was him, what does it mean
Only love can crack the deceit woven in the name of love.
·
Li Chaoge was watching the battle in his dream. This was another victory with less. The second son took advantage of the enemy's eagerness to win, pretended to be defeated and retreated, lured the enemy to go deep, and finally surrounded them in pieces and wiped them out one by one. This battle was fought beautifully, but the enemy's vitality was severely injured by this battle, and they lost more than 80% of their troops, and they no longer had the ability to fight against the Kui Kingdom.
This seemed to be a turning point. The countries finally realized that a powerful enemy had risen from where no one was paying attention. The countries began to cooperate and besieged the Kui Kingdom.
The Battle of Changling shocked both inside and outside, and changed the situation of the countries. The name of Qin's eldest son Wushen also became famous, and his killing reputation spread all over the world. Although Martial God is also a code name, this is the first time that the Second Young Master does not appear as Brother Wang, but because he is remembered by others. The second son does not reject this title, even after the fermentation of folk art, the people in the portraits are becoming more and more weird and outrageous.
For the past three years, the second son has basically stayed on the battlefield. Firstly, the front line is so tight that he can't leave anyone, and secondly, he is unwilling to go back. In the army, he can freely be himself, unlike in the palace, where he walks on thin ice and never sees the light of day. Even if he can appear in front of others, he has to be careful to play another person.
Three years can change a lot. A frail young man has become broad-shouldered and long-legged, showing his sharpness. The situation in various countries has become turbulent and explosive, and the brotherhood between him and his elder brother has also become delicate.
The deeds of the Valkyrie spread quickly among the people, and later his reputation grew, and many things that he did not do were also assigned to the Valkyrie. Kui Kingdom's court quickly reacted and took advantage of the situation to create a name for the Martial God, such as auspicious birth, child prodigy, and king of destiny, all mixed together. However, the eldest son of the Qin family was already known as a child prodigy, and the combination of the two images is not abrupt at the moment, but for the two parties, the feeling is completely different
After the battle of Changling, the second son has been running around on the battlefield. Although they were victorious, the war was not over. The rest of the nations realized that the Kui Kingdom was growing, and these days they were plotting to unite with the six-nation coalition to besiege the Kui Kingdom.
The winter in Shangdang was dry and cold, when the second young master came back from outside the city, his attendant sent word that he had received a letter from the capital.
His father summoned him back to the palace, saying that he had something to discuss. The Second Young Master had just inspected the soldiers and horses. At this moment, Kui's army had enough food and grass, and their morale was strong, and the enemy country had no power to fight. It shouldn't be a problem for him to leave for a while to join the party.
The second young master explained to his subordinates? He patrolled and set up defenses, and took his entourage and rushed to the capital.
He wanted to go and return quickly, so he kept quiet and only brought a few people. Except for a few high-level officials, no one knew he was leaving. He stepped out of the city in the early morning hoarfrost, rode his horse, and ran quickly towards the palace.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, he had just passed his eighteenth birthday.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Li Chaoge appeared outside the palace. She felt an invisible storm, and her intuition from the royal family told her that it was not easy for King Kui to call the second son back to the palace this time. In the past, the eldest son was active outside, and the second son could only hide in the deep palace, quietly being a shadow. Now the second son is shining brightly in the battlefield, but the eldest son wants to avoid people's eyes and ears. The brotherhood of the royal family can't stand the test at all. Two people share the same identity, so there must be a solution.
Li Chaoge sighed secretly, it was the stupidest decision to let the twin brothers pretend to be one person. Obviously, both of them are excellent, and any one of them can be qualified to be the king. If they hadn't concealed their identities at the beginning, one of the two brothers was in charge of the palace, and the other was fighting in other places. No matter what, it would be better than now. Li Chaoge watched him stop at the gate of the palace, his body still untouched, and walked quickly towards the palace. Li Chaoge followed up instinctively, but at this moment, the ground suddenly began to shake, Li Chaoge raised his head, and the originally stable dream seemed to faintly collapse.
Someone from outside seemed to be calling her: "Li Chaoge, come out."
Li Chaoge felt that the world was collapsing, but she was not reconciled. When the second son was still young, she had seen his face, but since he was five or six years old and could move freely, she could only follow behind him, watching his back day after day like a spirit behind him. Li Chaoge really wanted to see his face, but there was a kind of binding force that restricted her actions. But it doesn't matter, he has a twin brother, he can't see the second son's face, but he can look at the eldest son as well.
The last time Li Chaoge saw the eldest son was when he was twelve years old. He still had baby fat at the age of twelve, and his appearance was slightly different from that of an adult. But this time the other party was eighteen, and Li Chaoge could recognize him no matter what.
She has a wild guess that she needs to verify. She also knew that this dream was strange, but she was only one step away, and she was unwilling to leave here.
Li Chaoge resisted to ignore the voice from the sky, and continued to move forward. She walked into the tall and ancient city gate, and the rejection of her dream became stronger and stronger. Li Chaoge insisted on walking two more steps, and suddenly felt a strong sense of falling.
Li Chaoge opened her eyes suddenly, but the thrill of weightlessness still remained in her eyes. She stared at the scene in front of her, unable to react for a moment.
She had always wondered what he would be like when he grew up. She saw him when he was two years old. At that time, he was cute and had long eyelashes. Li Chaoge always thought about what his beautiful eyes would look like in the future.
But don't? Long disabled.
But now, Li Chaoge is staring at the pupils that are close at hand. These eyes have beautiful outlines, thick and slender eyelashes, and the beautiful lines can still be seen when the eyes are closed. He seemed to feel something, and slowly opened his eyes, the pupils of his eyes were as clear as jade, black and white were distinct.
If those eyes grow up, they will probably look like this. He didn't have a long disability, and he was still extremely beautiful.
The two looked at each other, and Gu Mingke pressed the back of her head even more deeply, transferring the immortal energy to her.
Li Chaoge felt the fresh air surging between his lips and teeth, finally reacted, and stretched out his hand to push Gu Mingke's shoulder. Gu Mingke made sure that she had woken up, and let her go.
When Li Chaoge was freed, he immediately gasped for breath. She strenuously half-raised her body and touched her lips in disbelief. It seems that there is still Gu Mingke's cold aura left on it, what's terrible is that even at this time, he still looks indifferent, calm and calm.
Li Chaoge's mentality exploded: "What are you doing?"
"Crossing the breath." Gu Mingke sat upright beside her bed, with a calm tone as if he was stating the case, "You have been hooked into a dream, and your life is in danger if you don't escape. I can only do this."
Li Chaoge's eyes widened, and he was surprisingly angry: "You don't want it? You think I can be deceived by you if I don't know about cultivating immortals. Why do you have to pass the breath? Use the lip-to-lip method? Isn't it faster to come in from the pulse?"
Gu Mingke nodded, confirmed? Her thoughts: "It is faster, but it is useless."
Li Chaoge's eyes widened. She even felt that she was dreaming now. Is this still Gu Mingke? Even if Li Chaoge didn't care about surprises, but after being kissed by a man, after waking up, he still looked business-like and unmoved, she would be pissed off.
Li Chaoge sat up from the bed vigorously, stared at him coldly, and asked, "What do you mean? Can I trouble you to explain what you did just now?"
Gu Mingke actually returned it? Seriously, he explained sternly: "You have been poisoned by poisonous miasma." Gu Mingke pointed to the purple broken flowers outside the lower hall, and said: "This is the flower that grows from the bones of nightmare beasts, which can tempt people to indulge. Dreamland, when you empathize with the person in the dream, it will take advantage of the void and devour your soul."
Li Chaoge thought about it, and this statement matched her dream. If she had really entered the palace with the Second Young Master, she would have been in danger. Li Chaoge basically believed it, but she still had a look of reluctance, and asked coldly: "Is there any more?"
"Besides you, there should be other people trapped. According to the criteria of Nightmare Beast picking people, Li Changle is also very dangerous."
Li Chaoge tilted his head, his eyes revealing his thoughts: "Why do you say that?"
"Huaichun girl thinks a lot. This kind of people are the easiest to deceive, and they are also easy to be hung away after entering the dream. If I don't wake you up, you will see the next picture, is it easy to agree to some conditions?"
Li Chaoge thought about it, still? Really. She was immersed in emotions, as if she had experienced it with him? Once in life, if she really saw something later, she did not guarantee that she could face it calmly. If the object is changed to Li Changle, it will be a fool.
Li Chaoge thought of danger, and immediately thought of the queen: "What about the queen?"
Gu Mingke glanced at her clearly: "Nightmare beasts feed on emotions, and do not choose their prey based on their status. The emotions of people like the Queen and Wu Yuanqing are not real enough, and nightmare beasts are not rare."
Li Chaoge was speechless for a moment, the empress obviously loved Zhang Yanchang so much... But this explanation was damn convincing, Li Chaoge believed it without hesitation
Li Chaoge was thinking about the nightmare beast, but he forgot? Asked the question just now, and focused on solving the monster: "Then how to solve it?"
"There are two ways. One is to retaliate in the same way as the other person. The nightmare beast uses the dream to lure the prey into the game. If it can find the real person in the dream and make a certain amount of physical contact, the dreamer can wake up. .”
Li Chaoge's eyebrows twitched: "Just like you did just now?"
Gu Mingke didn't refute, but admitted it? He didn't ask Li Chaoge what he dreamed of, and Li Chaoge didn't need to verify his answer.
Li Chaoge asked: "What kind of physical contact can save someone? Do you have to show up in person, or can you just use the other party's old things..."
"It must be in person." Gu Mingke said in a very calm tone, "such as holding hands, hugging, kissing and even having sex. This kind of contact can't be done with objects, right?"
Li Chaoge thought he was rough enough, but he still blushed when he heard these words. She waved her hand and said weakly: "Okay, what's the other way?"
How could Gu Mingke say such things so calmly? There is nothing practical about this method? First of all, how can Li Chaoge know who Li Changle's dream is, even if he asks the maid? How can Li Chaoge find him and let him hug a married princess
Li Chaoge was ready to smash the second method, even if it was going up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of flames, she must take it down. Gu Mingke remained calm and said, "The second way is to find the nightmare beasts themselves and kill their ghosts."
Li Chaoge was stunned for a while. Her temples twitched, she suppressed her emotions, and asked: "Obviously the second method is simple and once and for all, why didn't you choose?"
Gu Mingke was very calm: "The banquet outside is over, and there are people everywhere. Except that the Nightmare Beast's actions are too big, I'm not suitable to come forward."
"It's nonsense." Li Chaoge stared hard at Gu Mingke, and said, "With your ability, you can solve this matter quietly without disturbing anyone."
Why do you have to? Use that method to wake up Li Chaoge, and then let her kill the nightmare beast? He didn't have to look far away at all and go through a lot of trouble.
Gu Mingke didn't struggle, and nodded in recognition: "Yes."
He had a second choice, even better, but he didn't choose.
Li Chaoge was angry and shocked, and there was also a panic that she didn't know: "Why?"
Gu Mingke stared deeply at Li Chaoge, and there seemed to be a dark light floating in the depths of his eyes: "I want to verify one thing."
Li Chaoge held his breath unknowingly: "Verify what?"
Gu Mingke seemed to sigh, and said in a low voice: "Silly girl. Do you know how the Nightmare Beast chooses the Lord of Dreamland after it picks its prey?"
Li Chaoge inexplicably felt something was wrong, she was wary and asked, "How did you choose?"
"It chooses the person the prey likes." Gu Mingke looked at her, as if there were lakes and mountains in his eyes, and it seemed that there was only the reflection of Li Chaoge. Only when you are sad is sad, you will be willing to make a deal with the nightmare beast for the other party."
Li Chaoge was stunned. The dream turned out to be the person you like? Then she dreamed of Gu Mingke
Gu Mingke continued: "You have someone you like, and the feelings are true, and it doesn't stay on the surface of the body. That person is me."
It's really gratifying that her love for him doesn't stop at appearance. Li Chaoge's head was dizzy, as if his whole body was getting hot: "You...who said it was you?"
Gu Mingke said slowly, as if he was looking at a child who had been punctured and messed around, "I woke you up."
That's right, Gu Mingke said so much just now, and many clues are vaguely confirming that Li Chaoge should have reacted a long time ago. But she was panicked by this thunder? God, she didn't connect these words.
She had an affair in her heart, and she was exposed in person. Li Chao singer was at a loss, and suddenly gave up on himself when he was extremely embarrassed. She simply broke the jar and looked at Gu Mingke calmly: "Then what are you going to do?"
"The marriage is over, what else can I do." Gu Mingke said quietly, "It's just right, there's no need to make up."
Was Li Chaoge prepared? In various circumstances, I didn't expect him to say such a thing. Seeing her skeptical look, Gu Mingke smiled? Smiled, and tidied the hair on her shoulders behind her back: "I said it all? Attack the shield with the spear of the other, and you will dream of the person who treats you sincerely. For the same reason, the other party can wake you up."
Li Chaoge paused? Can't understand? What is Gu Mingke talking about. Gu Mingke stroked her long hair, leaned over and kissed her lightly between the eyebrows.
