Chapter 146 Inspiring Divine Rain
Li Zhou looked down at the figure in his heart, and used the magic of One Qi Transformed into Three Pure Ones to transform a proportionally smaller version of himself, which descended to his heart and looked into the eyes of the "inner demon" Xie Lingwei.
She recalled the novels she had read before traveling through time. The methods used by the protagonists to defeat their inner demons could be roughly divided into two categories: persuasion and fighting.
The kind-hearted Li Zhou naturally chose to be influenced.
She took a step forward and hugged the inner demon with a ferocious look on his face and bulging veins.
The inner demon struggled hard in her arms, saying things like "What should we do with our lives?"
Li Zhou didn't quite understand what he heard, he just knew that he couldn't influence the people by himself, so he called a few more helpers.
On the floating panel, the figures of the disguised Xue Jingzhen and Tan Zhao appeared one after another, and then appeared beside the inner demon. Together with Li Zhou, they stretched out their hands and hugged her while she was crying and screaming.
…
Bang!
Xie Lingwei suddenly woke up from a nightmare, jumped up suddenly, and gasped for breath.
Xue Jingzhen, a night owl who was reading a novel on the bed opposite him, turned around in surprise. Tan Zhao, a health expert, was also awakened and lifted the bed curtain to look over.
Xie Lingwei's face was pale, and the cold sweat on his forehead was illuminated by the light of Xue Jingzhen's mobile phone, making each bead of sweat clearly visible.
"Weiwei," Xue Jingzhen hesitated, "What's wrong?"
Xie Lingwei's chest rose and fell violently, and her eyes were dazed. After a while, she turned her head to look at her: "I..." She wrinkled the bed sheet, her shoulders trembling, "...I had a nightmare."
Too many terrible things happened in her dream. She closed her eyes and didn't want to recall them.
She let out a long breath, and under the worried gaze of her roommates, she still spoke: "I dreamed that we had a car accident before the college entrance examination and didn't go to college." But this was just the beginning of the nightmare.
Xie Lingwei's eyes fell on Tan Zhao's face, and his hands hanging by his side clenched unconsciously. In that nightmare, not only was Tan Zhao dead, but even all traces of his existence were wiped out.
Xue Jingzhen's eyes were dazed for a moment, as if she remembered something, but Tan Zhao smiled and shook his head: "It must be the recent final week, the pressure is too great. Your campus card is still hanging on the head of your bed, the nightmare will not come true, don't worry."
Xie Lingwei followed Tan Zhao's gaze and saw, under the dim light, a plastic plate with her one-inch ID photo printed on it was hanging on the headboard of the bed, swaying gently in the breeze.
She suddenly felt a sharp headache and held her forehead to endure it for a while. Then, in the aftermath of the headache, she remembered that when she got the campus card at the beginning of the school year, she complained to Tan Zhao about why he had to use the photos he took during the college entrance examination. At that time, she was so exhausted from reviewing that her eyes were dull and she even had several pimples on her forehead.
What real details and memories...
So, she did take the college entrance examination.
Xie Ling breathed a sigh of relief. The nightmare was indeed just a nightmare.
At this moment, she did not think that even if the three of them were admitted to the same university, how could it be such a coincidence that they were assigned to the same dormitory?
His heartbeat gradually calmed down, and Xie Lingxiao carefully picked up the campus card and looked at it in front of him.
Maybe it was because I had just woken up, or maybe it was because of my astigmatism, the words were a little blurry at first, and then gradually took shape.
【Tunghai University】
【Name: Xie Lingwei】
【Student ID: 2025XXXXX】
【Major: I Ching and Prediction】
Xie Lingwei felt more relieved now that he had all the necessary information. He caught a glimpse of Xue Jingzhen and Tan Zhao who looked concerned, and suddenly froze again.
There are four people in a dormitory. Who lives in the extra bed?
For some reason, she felt a chill when she thought about this question.
Behind her, on the bed next to her, the curtains were closed and it was so quiet that there was not a single sound of breathing.
She put down her campus card, turned around slowly, and stared at the dark blue bed curtains painted with stars, the moon, the sun and other celestial bodies. For a moment, she had the illusion that her soul was being sucked in.
Crash——
The curtain was pulled open by a chubby little hand, and a little baby wearing a gold collar and a white silk bellyband leaned out and looked at Xie Lingwei with big watery eyes.
Xie Lingwei was confused for a moment: Is this her fourth roommate?
——Is this right?
The next moment, she lowered her eyes to Xue Jingzhen who was lying on the bed. Her eyes, which had been dazed just now, had become calm. She spread out her palms, and a pale yellow and white butterfly with red spots flew out of them, gently flapping its wings, flying over the aisle where chairs, slippers and basins were casually placed, and landed on Xie Lingwei's shoulder.
Putting his palms together, Xue Jingzhen said four words silently:
Zhuang Zhou dreamed of butterflies.
The butterfly's wings fluttered lightly, and Xie Lingwei's eyelids suddenly became very heavy. For a short moment, it seemed as if she had another dream. In the dream, there was no car accident, no time travel, only twelve years of hard study, and getting her name on the list of successful candidates was her coming-of-age rite of passage.
She looked at the baby as if awakened from a dream, all her doubts disappeared, and she said embarrassedly: "I woke you up too, Li Zhou."
She was admitted to Donghai University, and Li Zhou was her fourth roommate. There was no problem with this, she thought.
Li Zhou was also looking at Xie Lingwei. It turned out that his inner demon was not convinced because he wanted to go to college. This was too easy to solve. All it took was a sweet dream.
Li Zhou, who had no idea how he could create the dream and had turned himself into a college student in the dream, said to Xie Lingwei, "I have a question for you."
Xie Lingwei subconsciously pinched her palm with her fingernails, and the slight pain made her feel relieved: "What?"
"If I let you go to college for the rest of your life, would you be willing?" If she could be kept in a beautiful dream forever and never wake up, wouldn't that help her completely defeat her inner demon? Smart Li Zhou praised himself in his heart.
This isn't a question of whether or not you're willing, Xie Lingwei thought in surprise. This is too unrealistic. Just as she was about to shake her head, she suddenly heard Xue Jingzhen say, "Weiwei."
Jingzhen's voice was so strange, mixed with a hint of sigh, but when you listened carefully, it seemed like it was just an illusion.
Xie Ling turned his head slightly: "?"
"I can't sleep, let's get up and clean up."
"???"
Xie Lingwei was speechless, and for a moment, she had forgotten all about Li Zhou's questions. Tan Zhao even climbed to the opposite bed and touched Xue Jingzhen's forehead: "Are you okay? What time is it now?"
"Didn't you hear the sound of cockroaches gnawing on things?" Xue Jingzhen said seriously, climbing off the bed as he spoke, his expression not joking, "Cockroaches can eat people. If you don't clean it up now, they will come and gnaw on your hands later."
"Is this true?" Tan Zhao looked around and felt a little scared.
Xue Jingzhen had already taken out the broom and started searching the whole house.
Xie Lingwei had no choice but to get out of bed. When she wanted to look at Li Zhou again, she found that the latter had shrunk back into the bed curtain and didn't seem to intend to join them.
It's normal to be afraid of cockroaches.
Without giving it much thought, Xie Lingwei withdrew his gaze and started cleaning the house together with Tan Zhao and Xue Jingzhen.
…
Li Zhou was startled. It couldn’t be a flying cockroach. She didn’t dare to catch it.
She hid in the bed curtains covered with patterns of the moon, sun, and stars. Through the gaps in the curtains, she stared at the brave trio, who were holding brooms and feather dusters and looking for cockroaches everywhere.
As the three of them searched, in a perspective that Li Zhou had never paid attention to, he saw three figures walking alone on the surface of the blue planet surrounding the moon, sun, stars and other celestial bodies.
That was a thousand years ago, when three people had just discovered the invasion of the gods.
On Yaowang Mountain, Tan Zhao, who had just returned from Qingqiu, put away the ancient books and fragments that he had painstakingly collected, as well as the prescriptions he had written for himself, which were spread out on the desk.
"My strange disease cannot be cured." She whispered to herself, "Perhaps, I can still do something to cure the strange diseases in this world."
The job of a doctor is to snatch people away from the Lord of the Mansion, and he usually has to deal with the Ox-Head and Horse-Face, as well as the Black and White Impermanence.
Tan Zhao, a doctor who couldn't heal himself, used his merits to gain an opportunity to meet the Lord of the Mansion on the day when the soul-catcher arrived.
The Lord of the Mansion received the last prescription she wrote, and the medicine was herself.
Her body, which can neither give birth nor die, is just the right one to attract those evil gods who seek the power of death.
The gods thought that she, the ancestor of the zombies, could be a breakthrough in seizing the power of death. Little did they know that this was a trap she had set long ago, waiting for them to jump out.
“If we allow cockroaches to hide in dark corners, they will multiply in number.” In the dormitory, Tan Zhao thought of the video he had watched and quickly dug out the baits he had ordered on a whim.
Not long after the bait was placed, two slender long whiskers emerged from under the bed. Then, one after another, countless long whiskers tentatively crawled out of the darkness.
Xie Lingwei was the first to discover their traces.
In the Xie Mansion, Xie Lingwei, who had predicted the fate of his good friend, accepted the arrangement of the Lord of the Mansion and became the most powerful fortune teller in the world.
She began to calculate the time and place of the invasion of the gods and compiled two secret books, one called "Flying Star Feng Shui" and the other "Flying Star Fortune Telling".
When the two books are separated, they are just ordinary methods of feng shui, fortune-telling and divination. Only after comparing them will it be discovered that they contain hidden information about the gods headed by Tianzun.
In this way, the message from the god can be safely delivered to her friends.
In the dormitory, Xie Lingwei found the cockroach and pointed under the bed. Xue Jingzhen, who was prepared, swung the broom and hit the cockroach on the back steadily and accurately.
However, although it was flattened solidly, the cockroach's vitality was extremely tenacious. It vibrated its wings on its back and flew up directly, rushing around the dormitory, sometimes hitting the light bulbs, making a crackling sound, and sometimes hitting the snow-white wall, leaving a trail of dirty marks.
After Tan Zhao spread the bait, he was overwhelmed by the strong smell of the medicine and lost his fighting power. Xie Lingwei tried to hit the wall with a feather duster, but he felt dizzy for some reason, as if he was almost hit in the face by a cockroach, leaving him with a psychological trauma.
Only Xue Jingzhen still had the strength to fight. She kept using a broom to drive away the cockroaches, causing them to panic and crash into the quiet curtain that seemed harmless and was covered with patterns of the moon, sun, and stars.
Li Zhou is "afraid" of cockroaches only because he thinks they are ugly and is afraid that they may carry bacteria.
If they really wanted to fight, even a hundred or a thousand cockroaches wouldn't be able to defeat her, so how could she just let them pounce on her?
Li Zhou was furious when he saw the cockroaches acting so arrogantly through the gap in the curtain. He grabbed the insecticide at hand and started bombarding them through the gap in the curtain.
The cockroach screamed in fear.
Li Zhou sprayed wildly for a while, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the cockroaches fall to the ground one by one.
She also didn't wonder why she had pesticides.
On the surface of the blue planet, outside the gate of heaven held up by many star gods including Taiyin Star Lord, Xihe God Lord, Nanji and Beidou, a large area of nameless fog spread out, coveting the shadows, claws and tentacles of this planet, as if doused with a pot of boiling oil, dancing madly as it was pulled back.
However, the shapeless black smoke just floated down randomly, causing countless terrifying and huge bodies of gods to wither and die, just like dead leaves in late autumn. Even if they tried their best, they could not withstand the abuse of the cold wind.
The strongest among them could survive by cutting off their arms and escaping far away, but the weaker ones could only let out hysterical screams and wails, and perish miserably along with the power they held.
In the Wang Family Ancestral Hall, the fearful Daxia royal family suddenly saw that black rain was falling outside. The sky was gloomy, and the drizzle hit the window lattices, quickly staining the window sills, walls, and ground black.
Everyone smelled a strong stench, but their bodies and minds were greatly nourished by the stench. The royal family, who had taken many panaceas before, suddenly realized that this was not rain.
This is the blood shed after the death of some transcendental creature. The mysterious power contained in the blood overflows, which is a great tonic for mortals.
