The timid Ming Luo unexpectedly arrives at the Suoma Continent, where demons and monsters run rampant. As the only human, she embarks on an unconventional path of cultivation to preserve her life.<...
Mingluo couldn't help crying when she saw the tragic scene of lovers being separated by Yin and Yang. She didn't expect that the Snail Girl's version of the love story of the Swinging Little Demon would be a tragedy.
For the powerful Reimu, even if the soul-binding formation could bind her for a moment, she could quickly break it. She could also easily leave this place without coming into contact with the formation at all and continue to live in hiding in other places on the Suma continent.
For Qiu Qian Xiao Yao, the magic circle created by the mysterious men in white with the heart blood of rare spirit beasts is likely to hurt Gui Meng, so he chose to sacrifice himself to break the formation. He risked his life just to protect Gui Meng from harm, but even if he sacrificed his life, he could not help Ling Meng at all.
It is such a tragedy that one pays the price of one's life but has absolutely no effect on the other party.
Ming Luo couldn't help but think of Ye Zhihan and her own situation. She was like a little swing demon who had just embarked on the path of cultivation, while Ye Zhihan was a powerful ghost dream. Therefore, Ming Luo always had a strong concept of survival. In the world of Suma Continent, she didn't have to think about how to help others, but only needed to think about how to live more safely and not drag Ye Zhihan down at critical moments.
As for the idea of helping Ye Zhihan, let's wait until she is able to protect herself. Once she becomes strong enough, she can learn some auxiliary skills and do things while hiding in the dark.
Mingluo withdrew his thoughts and continued to look at Gui Meng, who was alone in the courtyard in the rain with the little swing demon in her arms. Her red skirt was wet by the rain, the hem of her skirt was stuck with mud, and her shoulders were twitching slightly, making her look particularly desolate.
However, when Gui Meng raised her head, although there were still traces of tears on her face, her expression had returned to her usual coldness. She walked into the house with graceful steps, then strolled back to the yard, made a beautiful swing by herself, and finally sat on it and swung leisurely, completely ignoring the body of the swing demon in the yard which was still warm.
"Ye Zhihan? Is Gui Meng upset?" Ming Luo felt a little apprehensive. He'd heard that when people deeply in love lose each other, they always do bizarre things. The unspoken relationship between Gui Meng and Qiu Qian Xiao Yao was bizarre enough, and now she'd built a swing. Was she trying to fill that void in her heart? But Qiu Qian Xiao Yao had just died; doing this was too heartless...
Ye Zhihan shook his head and signaled Mingluo to continue to patiently observe Gui Meng, who had a cold expression.
After swinging twice, Gui Meng cut the new swing frame in half. Holding the new swing frame in one hand and the swing demon in the other, she walked to the center of the courtyard. Her red dress was fiery, her face delicate and beautiful, but her lips, which should have been even more charming, looked utterly heartless. She silently chanted a spell, and a light far stronger than the previous formation rose from the ground again, piercing through the rain-covered clouds and blasting through the blue sky.
Gui Meng knelt under the strong light, her beautiful eyes closed, her eyelashes trembling, holding the brand new swing frame planks in her arms, holding the swing demon tightly in her hands. As the last ray of light dissipated, everything around her returned to normal, except for the bodies of Gui Meng and the swing demon.
"Where did they go?" Mingluo asked curiously.
Ye Zhihan gestured towards the only remaining sycamore tree in the courtyard. This was the sea of memories of the sycamore tree. As a witness to the entire incident that year, she naturally knew everything.
…
As all the images in the Wutong Sea of Memory were played, the positions of Mingluo and Ye Zhihan changed again. They came to a pure white fantasy space. There was a towering green tree here, and a well-proportioned girl walked out of the tree.
"Wutong!" Mingluo recognized the girl who came out of the tree. She looked exactly like Miss Meng's maid Wutong, except that she was not as skinny. Wutong, who was no longer pale and skinny, looked quite cute.
"Wutong would like to thank you two benefactors on behalf of Lord Guimeng!" Wutong was about to kneel down when she walked to Mingluo, so Mingluo had to quickly help her up again.
"Eh? You know I'm not a young lady?" Ming Luo said jokingly.
Wutong chuckled and said that it was in the dream of Master Guimeng. She could only play the role of a little maid and could not do much, so she could only recognize Mingluo as the eldest lady and continue to act out the plot in the dream.
It turns out that the dream that Ye Zhihan and Ming fell into was the dream of resurrection of Gui Meng, the descendant of the ghost clan.
However, Gui Meng's "resurrection" is not a simple resurrection skill, but an extremely difficult to control dream reincarnation. Different methods are needed for different people, and the effect is very unstable.
Firstly, as a rescuer, Gui Meng needs to bring the deceased's soul, body, and true self into the dream world. None of them can be missing. This is why Gui Meng rebuilt a swing frame after the swing demon's true self was broken.
Secondly, for the Swinging Little Demon, his greatest regret in life was that he was unable to reveal his feelings to Master Ghost Dream, so his dreams are a nightmare of constant brushing against Ghost Dream. Ghost Dream needs to give up his self-consciousness and go through different trials and tribulations with the Swinging Little Demon in dreams throughout his lifetimes, until, under the opportunity of a dream in a certain lifetime, he helps the Swinging Little Demon realize his wish, and they are finally freed from the nightmare;
Finally, the swing demon regains consciousness, and he himself must have the desire to be resurrected, so that the ghost dream can combine his soul, body and original body into one, and the swing demon can be truly "resurrected". After resurrection, the swing demon will need to be nursed for many years before he can recover his vitality.
It is said to be resurrection, but in fact, isn't it just going through the pain of reincarnation for life after life in a nightmare, and finally returning to the original heart and being reborn again?
Wutong cried as she spoke, she really felt sorry for Qiuqian Xiaoyao and Master Guimeng.
Wutong and Qiuqian Xiaoyao are of the same origin, so she can naturally feel Qiuqian Xiaoyao's pain and love. She is even more respectful to Guimeng, treating her as her master and being loyal to her.
So when Gui Meng and the swinging little demon fell into the nightmare cycle, she took the initiative to assume the responsibilities of "key" and "guide" - in every dream, Wutong accompanied Gui Meng in various identities to help Gui Meng realize the nightmare cycle and find the opportunity for resurrection as soon as possible; in reality, she became the only connection point between dreams and the real world. On a rainy night every ten years, she could use the power of natural rain to search for the destined people in Huiyu Town and transfer them to the dream.
If an outsider enters a dream, it can change the fate of the swing demon and the ghost dream in the established dream, and maybe help the two of them escape the nightmare of passing by each other in life after life.
This is why Mingluo and Ye Zhihan were pulled into a dream while taking shelter from the rain in the already dilapidated Huiyu Town.
