Chapter 297 Participating in Business
Walking around the verandah, a lotus pond appears in front of you.
In the termite fantasy, it should be early winter. There are dead branches and leaves floating on the water. Several servants of the mansion are salvaging the remaining lotus branches and vines in the pond.
In the distance, a cyanotic figure fell into Ning Fusang's eyes. It was the black-faced woman. Looking at her hurried steps, she seemed to be rushing somewhere.
Ning Fusang followed him calmly, and when there was no one around, he had a short sword in his sleeve, revealing its sharp edge.
The mountains and seas are always there, and the sun and the moon never rest. As long as the outside world does not turn into a mulberry field, even in the termite illusion, the binding force of the oath will not fail.
So Ning Fusang wanted to use this method to test the identity of the black-faced woman.
But just as she was about to take action, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a shadow looming behind the vines on the door wall.
Ning Fusang lowered his arm and slowly put the short knife into his sleeve.
There were footsteps behind her, and before she could turn around, someone pulled her arm away.
"It's me, Baini." The girl lowered her voice and said.
There was no way, Yao Ling was too defensive, she had to declare her identity directly, otherwise she would not be able to cooperate.
Bai Ni could tell that Ning Fusang had just wanted to stab the woman in cyan clothes in the back. She probably wanted to test whether the woman was her by relying on the sea oath.
In this way, the two had already communicated before entering the termite illusion, so when Bai Ni saw the knife in her sleeve, he basically confirmed her identity.
As for the appearance of a man, Bai Ni was not surprised at all. The second time she entered the termite illusion, she was also in the body of a man.
Anyway, every time you enter the termite illusion, your identity is different.
So until now, Baini still hasn't figured out what the termite illusion is about.
She let go of Ning Fusang's wrist, looked in the direction where the mother-in-law disappeared, and asked: "Why do you think that the mother-in-law is me?"
Ning Fusang said: "In some aspects, they are just similar."
She narrowed her eyes and asked lightly: "Have you ever been out of this mansion before? Is the termite illusion only as big as this mansion, or is it wider?"
Touching it so easily made Ning Fusang feel that the fantasy world was a bit too small.
Bai Ni said: "I went out once. As for how big the outside world is, I don't know how big it is, but in short, it won't be small."
"By the way Yao Ling, when did you awaken to your self-awareness?" she asked curiously.
Because Bai Ni had just woken up, she thought she would still have to spend time slowly looking for Ning Fusang.
"Wake up at sunrise."
When the warm sunshine shone on the threshold of the woodshed and fell on her body, Ning Fusang remembered everything.
She took the name Fusang to remind herself to never forget herself.
Bai Ni's eyes looked slightly strange, but she didn't expect Ning Fusang to wake up before herself.
She had the previous two experiences, so this time, she deliberately weaved a dream for herself before entering the illusion.
The termite illusion is a dream, and her dream is a dream within a dream. Bai Ni solved this dream within a dream, so she woke up in the termite illusion.
This was due to her years of hard training and attainments in the dream path, but Yao Ling had just come into contact with the dream path, so how could she awaken her self-awareness earlier than she did?
The two of them were sorting out clues in a low voice in the rockery.
Ning Fusang said with a clear mind: "Although this formation is called the termite remnant formation, in fact, it is an illusion and a dream. Since it is a dream, it should have a dream master. You have been here twice, have you found anything consistent with it? ”
Bai Ni shook her head: "I died very early both times." The first time she was the daughter of an aunt in the mansion, she died in infancy after only a few days to live. The second time, he was a servant in the house. He was beaten to death with a stick for bumping into an honored guest.
After Ning Fusang listened to Bai Ni talk about his fantasy experience, he could only say that it was worthless and nutritious.
She picked up a stone and placed it in the center, symbolizing the Lord of Dreams.
Then he said: "If you practice the dream path, you should know better than me. Dreams are illusions in sleep. They are empty in nature, cannot be touched, cannot be seen, and only exist here..."
Ning Fusang clicked the pebble and said, "If this pebble no longer exists, the dream will no longer exist."
This is the first way to break the situation.
But obviously, given the current situation of Ning Fusang and Baini, it is completely impossible to crack the dream in this way.
Another way is to let the Lord of Dreams wake up.
But if the Lord of Dreams could wake up, this termite illusion would not exist for hundreds of years.
Ning Fusang continued: "The master of the dream doesn't want to wake up. Either the dream is too beautiful and he doesn't want to break it, so he keeps continuing the dream and sinks deeper and deeper. Or, in the dream, his wish is not fulfilled and he has an obsession. , trapped himself in a dream.”
When Bai Ni heard this, he thought thoughtfully and said, "I think it is the latter possibility. The tone of the entire termite fantasy is sad."
"The key to interpreting dreams is to first find the master of the dream, fulfill his long-cherished wish, and dispel his obsession. But who will the master of the dream be?"
Bai Ni stared at the stone for a long time. A few faces flashed through her mind, but she rejected them all.
The termite fantasy will not be that simple. The obsession of a small person cannot support such a huge dream.
No, she can't think like that either.
What if it was really a little person who had a big dream? Wouldn't it be hell-level difficulty to turn the dream into reality?
Bai Ni thought for a long time, and based on his attainments in the dream path, he made an inference, "I fell into dreams three times, all in this mansion. I think we are not too far away from the Lord of Dreams."
"The master of the house is very likely."
When Bai Ni said this, Ning Fusang also remembered someone, "My current identity is that of a servant in the mansion, who boils hot water and delivers water to the lady of Luhuaxuan."
"It is also possible that the 'Lu Hua' in the broken reed flowers refers to Lu Hua Xuan, the noble lady."
Baini knew that lady, but had never seen her face.
It would be great if she could be transferred to Luhuaxuan to work if there was a chance.
After all, with Yao Ling's current identity, she would definitely not be able to come into contact with this noble lady who was most likely the Lord of Dreams.
Bai Ni was thinking about various ways in her mind. She had no clue for the moment, so she thought of another thing that she couldn't forget:
"Yao Ling, before I had time to ask you, when I look at the Li stars in the night, which star is it referring to?"
Ning Fusang picked up two stones, spread his palms and said, "They are two stars."
"The Sanxing star rises in the evening and the Shang star disappears in the morning. Their positions in the sky and the time of appearance are different, so there is a saying that they will never meet each other to metaphorize separation and distance."
"One looks at the stars and the night will be bright, which roughly means that he/she looks at the stars alone from the appearance of the stars in the evening, to the time when the stars disappear and the night is about to disappear."
This is consistent with Bai Ni's belief that the tone of the fantasy is sad.
"I'll find a way to sneak into Luhuaxuan and get close to the lady. Yao Ling, when you go to deliver water, pay more attention. She really may be the Lord of Dreams."
