Xi Yunting found Chen Xiao by following the light of the lamp. The sight of him falling at the corner of the fork in the road startled all three of them. Fortunately, Tang Ru, a spiritual plant master, recognized the culprit that caused him to fall unconscious. She carefully used her true essence to lift up the red buds. This was the correct way to touch them.
"What is Twin Red?" Tong Nuonuo asked. He only knew about the materials of the mechanism, mostly fierce beasts, minerals, and wood. He didn't know much about the herbs used as medicine, so he only mastered some common content.
Xi Yunting gently helped Chen Xiao up and let him lie down, without bothering to answer his questions.
Tang Ru answered, "The Twin Reds are a rare spiritual plant that grows side by side. They have a function that allows two people who come into contact with them to fall into dreams one after the other. The Twin Reds can be used to wake up practitioners who have fallen into a long-term coma for some reason, or to delve into the dreams of such patients to find the cause of the disease. In addition to this function, the most precious thing about the Twin Reds is that it can prevent death."
Tong Nuonuo gasped in surprise.
What practitioners fear most is that a bad retreat will end in a dead end. At that time, it will be like calling for help from heaven and earth, but no one can help. During the retreat, no one is allowed to disturb you. If the progress of advancement is not ideal, but there is no way to terminate it in time, you will be trapped in it and unable to save yourself until your consciousness becomes dull, you lose vitality and die.
At this time, if you want to wake up the cultivator from this state, there is no other safe way except to use the Twin Red. Therefore, you can imagine how precious the Twin Red is in the world of immortal cultivation.
Tong Nuonuo never felt bad for the materials that couldn't be used to make the mechanism, nor did he care about the loss of the Twin Red that was accidentally used by Chen Xiao. He just asked with concern: "Is Chen Xiao okay?"
Tang Ru shook his head and said, "It's not a big problem. As long as we use up all of the energy of the Twin Red, he will wake up naturally."
Tong Nuonuo was relieved when she heard this, but Xi Yunting's voice was tense and his tone was cold and hard as he said, "Ordinary Twin Reds are used after being picked, and the strongest effect is three days. But Xiaodi triggered the effect when the Twin Reds were at their freshest, so I'm afraid it will take ten days and ten nights to use them up."
He had a blank expression on his face, but in fact he regretted leaving Xiaodi alone. If the two of them had worked together, this incident would not have happened.
Tang Ru was also worried now. She frowned and said, "That's bad. Xiaoxiao's body will be greatly damaged if she doesn't eat or drink for ten days."
Xi Yunting looked up at Tang Ru and said, "Give me the Twin Reds so that I can share them with my brother Xiao and end this dream as soon as possible."
Tang Ru used her true energy to carry the Twin Reds to Xi Yunting. She said, "Fellow Daoist Xi, rest assured and go to sleep. Nuonuo and I will do our best to protect you."
Xi Yunting held the red buds for a moment and closed his eyes in an instant. Tang Ru carefully cleaned up the red ice velvet at the corner of the fork in the road, planning to camp here for the time being.
Tong Nuonuo helped spread the blanket and put the two people side by side. Tang Ru cleaned up the camp, and Tong Nuonuo planned to go to other places in the cave to check for hidden dangers. In order to prevent getting lost and causing trouble for Tang Ru who stayed behind, he found a long rope, nailed one end to the rock, and tied the other end to his waist.
Chen Xiao didn't know how worried others were when he fell asleep. He was completely immersed in the dream and didn't notice anything unusual.
Dreams are strange and mysterious things. Everything is made up of imagination and memory. They can be wildly imaginative or illogical.
At this time, Chen Xiao was lying on a bench on the beach, lazily basking in the sun and enjoying the warm sea breeze blowing from the sea not far away. There were people walking around, but Chen Xiao looked at them from the side and could not see their figures clearly.
Fang Gu is from the south, and the city where he lives with Chen Xiao is also very prosperous. Fang Gu is rich and knows how to enjoy life. He escapes the heat in summer and the cold in winter. Chen Xiao flies back and forth with him every year and can adapt to this kind of life very well.
Chen Xiao didn't know when he came here. When he thought about it, the reason automatically emerged in his mind, as if it was just the way it was, and he didn't need to care whether it was reasonable or not.
He was in his twenties and in poor health. As long as there was no Feng Shui to do, he would find a place to vacation. At this time, he would often be accompanied by a life assistant to take care of his daily life. The life assistant looked hazy and vague, and Chen Xiao could no longer remember his appearance clearly.
The assistant told him that someone would invite him to a dinner party. Chen Xiao got up and left the beach, heading towards the resort hotel. The scene was spliced in a strange way. Chen Xiao changed his clothes and walked out of the room to the banquet.
A wealthy businessman with a big belly enthusiastically introduced the guests to Chen Xiao. This wealthy businessman originally asked Chen Xiao to do Feng Shui for Fang Gu's sake. Chen Xiao was deeply impressed by him, and his appearance was the clearest among the people around him.
There were songs and dances, and the people and scenes around him were sometimes clear and sometimes blurry. Fang Gu suddenly appeared among the people who were talking. Chen Xiao was surprised by the appearance of his master. He felt nostalgic and touched. He took a step to talk to his master. However, he seemed to be tripped by something and couldn't run.
Soon Chen Xiao forgot his urgency and only remembered the desire to run. Just as he was getting irritated, a voice came through the layers of fog and reached his ears: "Brother Xiao."
Chen Xiao raised his head and saw the strange yet familiar person standing in front of him. He greeted him happily, "Big Brother." Then he frowned. The people around him were all men and women in suits and dresses, only Xi Yunting was wearing a long robe with wide sleeves, which made him look out of place.
This moment of disharmony was quickly adjusted as the dreamer's thoughts fluctuated. Xi Yunting suddenly changed into a well-tailored suit and shiny leather shoes.
Xi Yunting looked down in surprise, then looked up at the banquet hall, which was only partially visible but looked magnificent. The dream of Twin Reds was based on the order of entry. Chen Xiao took the lead in constructing the dream, so Xi Yunting could only influence part of it. As long as Chen Xiao used his mind, he could change everything around him.
Xi Yunting was not surprised that Chen Xiao had changed his clothes, but by the completely different clothes and architecture. Although he could tell where Chen Xiao was, he couldn't tell the difference between him and Xiaodi. He was a taller and thinner man with soft and smooth hair, long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and handsome features. His tall and thin figure and pale face made him look a little frail. It was completely different from the healthy and muscular Xiaodi!
The man said in a familiar tone, "Brother, you've come at the right time. My master is here too. Let me introduce you to him." He walked over, took him by the hand with his well-defined joints without any hesitation, and walked into the crowd.
This time there was no more obstacles, and the two of them walked smoothly to a group of people who were talking. They were several old men, one of whom was wearing a silk jacket and silk pants. He looked to be in his eighties, with a ruddy complexion and silver hair.
"Master."
The person holding him shouted excitedly, and the figures around the old man faded, and his image became clearer. The old man looked at them with dignity but kindness, and nodded to them: "Chen Xiao, is this your friend?"
The strange-looking man beside him was indeed Brother Xiao! Xi Yunting understood. He looked at the scene in front of him with cautious eyes. You must know that Chen Xiao is the builder of the dream, and the reactions of the people in the dream are all based on his will. Even though it was the old man who asked the question just now, it was all what Chen Xiao thought.
Xiaodi, who looked unfamiliar, introduced him: "Master, this is a big brother I know, who takes good care of me." He turned around and said solemnly, "This is my mentor, Fang Gu."
The scene in the dream was completely beyond Xi Yunting's expectations. He didn't know why such a strange phenomenon appeared. At the moment, he didn't want to alarm Xiaodi, so he followed his wishes and greeted the old man: "Junior Xi Yunting, meet the senior."
The old man looked at them kindly and said, "My apprentice has a stubborn character and acts impulsively. Nephew Xi, please supervise him carefully on my behalf and make sure he doesn't make any mistakes."
Xi Yunting bowed, "I will definitely help Brother Xiao and not let him make any mistakes."
Chen Xiao looked happy and excited, and it was obvious that he couldn't help himself in the current situation. He nodded and said, "Master, don't worry, I will be fine." As he spoke, his mood became depressed, and a golden disk appeared in his raised hand, "This compass belongs to Master, please return it to its original owner."
The old man looked at him seriously and said, "This compass has become one with you. Why are you giving it away? Take it well and carry forward the reputation of Dongyu School Feng Shui Master. Then I will feel at ease."
Chen Xiao's nose turned red when he heard this, and his eyes quickly became moist. The old man said sternly: "Don't show such weakness. Have you forgotten what I taught you to be strong and independent since you were a child?"
Chen Xiao held back and asked in a muffled voice: "I haven't forgotten, and I dare not forget."
The old man said with satisfaction: "It's good that you didn't forget. Take your friend around to have a look. I, an old man, don't have that much energy."
They were no longer in the banquet hall, but in a small room. The furniture was completely different from the rest of the world, and the couch was thick and soft.
Chen Xiao seemed reluctant to leave the old man, but the old man looked tired. Although he was reluctant, he still got up and left with Xi Yunting.
The two walked outside. This was a densely built residential area. The distance between each household was very close. Chen Xiao took Xi Yunting along the road. After a while, he said, "I will take you to see the nearby scenery. Where do you want to go?"
Xi Yunting's self-control was also greatly affected in the dream. He raised his hand and touched Chen Xiao's face, and asked softly: "Brother Xiao, why are you like this? Where is this place?"
Chen Xiao tilted his head in confusion: "What?"
Xi Yunting took a step away and raised his hand to summon a mirror, allowing Chen Xiao to see his current appearance clearly.
"Tell me, who is that person in the mirror?"
