Chapter 296: Master! What is the sky like?
"Did you dream of the immortal's cave?"
It’s no wonder that Zhang Dayi was frightened. Once Xie Yuchuan lay down at night, he was like a lost soul and could not be woken up at all.
After waiting for a long time for him to wake up, Xie Yuchuan opened his mouth and told him explosive news. Not to mention him, anyone else would be confused after hearing what he said.
While Zhang Dayi was stunned, Xie Yuchuan also came back to his senses from the immersive feeling left over from the dream.
As soon as I woke up, I could keenly smell the strong smell of blood around me.
The lazy eyes changed color instantly!
"Why are you so angry? What happened after I fell asleep?" Xie Yuchuan said in a cold voice.
He quickly scanned the room and found that every corner, whether it was the walls, the floor, or even the leaky and broken door panels, looked like they had been looted. His face darkened and he had a bad feeling.
While he was dreaming, such a big thing was happening around him, but he was completely unaware of it!
Thinking of how he had asked others not to disturb him before going to bed, he felt annoyed. When did his alertness become so low?
Xie Yuchuan looked at everyone with a serious look: "Something happened?"
He looked at his cousin Xie Wenjie, who pursed his lips and nodded.
His eyes darkened a few shades, and he turned to meet Zhang Dayi's gaze. "Someone outside came in? Why didn't you call me?"
Zhang Dayi was older after all, so he was more stable than the others. Seeing that Xie Yuchuan looked unhappy, he said first, "Don't worry, General. Have a drink of water and talk slowly. The crisis has passed and we are safe now. There is no need to rush to talk about what happened while the general was asleep."
The guard Xie Changan handed the water bag to the young master.
Xie Yuchuan glanced at everyone and saw that everyone was in good condition, so he thought they must be fine. So he drank two sips of water and wiped the sweat off his face.
Seeing that his complexion had improved a lot, Zhang Dayi then calmly recounted the incident of the bandits releasing snakes and the sudden attack that had occurred during his dream, picking out the key points.
Not long after, Xie Yuchuan finished listening.
He remained silent for a long time.
Everyone else had already experienced it and didn't feel anything at first, but now, listening to Lord Zhang's precise retelling of it, it was as if they were instantly back in that terrifying scene.
Zhang Dayi's speech was very comprehensive. Although he did not leave the thatched hut the entire time, he was very serious as if he had been watching everything from outside. Not only did Xie Yuchuan listen attentively, but the other Xie family guards who had been fighting outside for half a day also looked at Zhang Dayi in shock.
The old man, who was knowledgeable and intelligent, coughed lightly twice and did not like to take credit for himself.
"These young people came back to tell me."
One could guess who Xie Yuchuan was just by looking at the expressions on the faces of the Xie family's guards. What Zhang Dayi said was beyond the knowledge and insight of ordinary people.
Remembering the ingenuity of the Hanlin scholar in such a desperate situation, Xie Yuchuan clasped his hands and said, "Thank you for your quick thinking and helping me cover up."
"Hey, it's just a trivial matter, don't take it to heart, General." After being humble, Zhang Dayi was particularly interested in what he said when he woke up. "General, did you really see the immortal cave in your dream? What did it look like? Does it match the description of the immortals in the storybook?"
Zhang Dayi has the ability to draw people's attention back with just one sentence.
When talking about the gods in the storybooks, the Xie family members, who were not sleepy to begin with, became even more energetic!
Several eyes stared at Xie Yuchuan eagerly.
The tense atmosphere in the room just now suddenly changed due to everyone's curiosity. Xie Yuchuan laughed silently and said calmly, "Sir, please wait a moment."
After saying that, he stood up and walked to the door.
The broken door that was kicked open by the anxious Xiong Jiushan was now even more unable to bear the weight. He saw two or three sticks used as supports near the door, and the larger gaps were stuffed with hay and rags to block the gaps, which did block a lot of wind and cold.
He stretched out his left hand: "Give me the telescope."
With his right hand, he pulled out the hay from a gap.
He set up a telescope and looked through the gap. The officers and soldiers were on martial law. Xiong Jiushan's house was brightly lit, with shadows swaying on the window and people coming in and out of the door from time to time.
Raise your focus and look further ahead.
There are also many houses with lights on among the villagers in Wulibao.
"It looks like most people won't be able to sleep tonight."
"Sixth brother, we can't sleep either." Xie Wenjie whispered behind him.
Xie Yuchuan nodded without saying anything. He observed the situation outside with his own eyes and had a general understanding in his mind. He put down the telescope, stuffed the bunch of hay he had just pulled off back into the wind vent, and then turned back to the straw mat to talk.
Everyone's eyes followed him until he sat down and was about to tell about the adventure in his dream, and their eyes lit up.
The place where the exiles rested was bright, but some rooms were bright and some were dark.
The lamp oil was given by the officials to prevent any further incidents in the dark. Unfortunately, the lamp oil given by the officials was neither much nor good quality, so we had to make do with it.
If there were a few more "wealthy" fugitives in some houses, it would only be a little better.
Everyone was scared.
The night lights attracted mosquitoes, but that did not stop the Xie family from listening to the "fairy" stories at this time.
Xie Yuchuan thought for a while, but suddenly didn't know where to start.
Seeing this, Zhang Dayi asked, "Did the household deity take you there, or did you find it by accident, General?"
The Hanlin Master started the conversation, and Xie Yuchuan followed suit, saying, "At first, I was just wandering around, and then the household gods took me to the Moon Palace. That day..."
He was just about to say how high the gate of the Moon Palace was when there was an exclamation from the side!
Even the steady Zhang Dayi couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart and a look of astonishment when he heard the word "Moon Palace".
Xie Wenjie was young and couldn't help himself.
"Sixth Brother! Did the family god take you to heaven?!!!"
Xie Yuchuan was interrupted by everyone's shocked expressions and did not continue speaking. He looked at everyone and did not deny it.
"Did he really go to heaven?"
Zhang Dayi couldn't help but sigh.
If he had not seen too many of the Xie family's gods clearly working here, the old man would not believe it if someone else told him that they were taken to heaven by a god in a dream, or even taken to the Moon Palace.
But if the object was Xie Yuchuan, who could learn military tactics from gods in his dreams, he would feel that it might be true.
No, it must be true.
"Master, what does the sky look like?"
"Yes, General, are there fairies in the Moon Palace?"
"How do you ascend to heaven in a dream? How high a ladder do you need?"
"Our house god is so powerful! He can even take our master to heaven. Isn't heaven where the gods live?"
Inside the small thatched hut, outsiders had no idea that the Xie family was actually discussing what the sky looked like.
Xie Yuchuan coughed lightly and answered them one by one.
"The sky is above the clouds."
"The Moon Palace is majestic and magnificent, where immortals have lived for a long time."
"How to ascend to heaven..." Xie Yuchuan recalled the two different experiences before and after, "It depends on the mood of the household god."
"Oh? But the methods of ascending to heaven are different?" Zhang Dayi, the only one who understood the deep meaning of this sentence, couldn't help but ask on behalf of everyone.
Xie Yuchuan recalled that when he was awake before, the family god took him on a flying boat to the sky, and nodded slightly.
“When awake, I ride on a boat; when dreaming, I fly.”
