Qiu Miao: I have no resistance to General Gu's coquettishness_(:зゝ∠)_

When Shen Shenzhi fell asleep, Qiu Yanping had already prepared everything he would need later.

He lit a stick of incense and placed it in front of Shen Shenzhi's bedside table. The incense had a herbal scent mixed with incense, which could enhance brain activity.

Qiu Yanping's purpose of lighting this incense was not to drive away the nightmare beast. On the contrary, he did it to attract the nightmare beast. The more active the brain is, the easier it is to generate dreams. Nightmare beasts love to attack such dreamers.

Less than ten minutes after the incense was lit, Shen Shenzhi's eyeballs began to move left and right. He lay flat on the bed, his hands hanging on both sides of his body clenched into fists consciously. He moved his head slightly and frowned slightly.

Qiu Yanping reminded in a low voice, "Here it comes."

Gu Wenle immediately retreated outside the room when he heard this. He stood at the door and poked his head inside. He asked in a trembling voice, "Where, where?"

Qiu Yanping gave Gu Wenle a funny look and said, "Why are you hiding so far away? Let me tell you, the more scared you are, the more the nightmare beast will look for people like you."

When Gu Wenle heard what Qiu Yanping said, his hair was about to explode. He rubbed his arms vigorously twice and really had to leave.

Qiu Yanping didn't mean to scare Wen Le by saying this. The Nightmare Beast does prefer timid people, especially those who are afraid in their hearts. They are the Nightmare Beast's favorite targets. The dreams woven by the Nightmare Beast are created to target the fear deep in these people's hearts.

He added five more gold needles that he had inserted into Shen Shenzhi's forehead before, and pinched them between his fingers. He inserted them into Shen Shenzhi's nose, ears, and eyes one centimeter below each other, sealing these four places. Only the mouth was left for the nightmare beast to escape.

Gu Wenle looked from afar at the three dangling golden needles piercing his brother's facial features. He couldn't help but shudder and thought that it was a good thing that Shen Shenzhi fainted.

Qiu Yanping dipped a fingerful of cinnabar from the cinnabar dish on the low table, mixed it with clean water in another small dry dish, and then dropped the cinnabar on Shen Shenzhi's face. He started at the Zhuozhu point and ended at the Chengjiang point, all in one go, drawing a complete serpentine line.

As the snake line was drawn, a strange cry was heard coming from Shen Shenzhi's mouth. Gu Wenle shuddered and widened his eyes, and saw that Shen Shenzhi, who was originally sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes turned completely black, without a trace of white, and there seemed to be a wriggling black air floating in his eyes.

The black gas kept trying to get out of Shen Shenzhi's eyes, ears and nostrils, but these places were blocked in advance by Qiu Yanping. Finally, the black gas burst out of Shen Shenzhi's mouth.

As soon as the black gas appeared, it aimed at its target and tried to escape and sneak into Gu Wenle's body. Just like Qiu Yanping had said before, the Nightmare Beast loved people like Gu Wenle. Seeing this, Gu Wenle's eyes widened and he jumped up and ran away without thinking. Qiu Yanping was prepared and did not even look at Gu Wenle who had already escaped. He flew over with a peach wood sword with a yellow talisman nailed on it, and nailed the Nightmare Beast to the doorstep.

Qiu Yanping walked over and looked at the black smoke that could not move. The nightmare beast was hidden under the black air. He raised his hand and waved it twice casually, dispersing the black air as if inadvertently, revealing the nightmare beast's appearance under the black air. Feng shui masters always wear more or less evil-removing talismans. Qiu Yanping, because of his own fate, is particularly concerned about accumulating merits. He has accumulated merits and purple air around him. Although it is far less prosperous than it was back then, it is no problem to wave away this black air and shock it.

Half of the nightmare beast's face revealed twisted and wrinkled skin as if it had been in a fire. When Qiu Yanping saw that face, he was stunned and his hand holding the peach wood sword subconsciously loosened.

The nightmare beast was completely unaware, it only knew that the power that was restraining it suddenly loosened. It struggled violently and actually broke free from the peach wood sword. A ball of black air rushed straight towards Gu Wenye, who had noticed Qiu Yanping's unusual behavior.

Qiu Yanping reacted quickly, but this time he was unable to stop it. He cursed secretly and hurriedly caught Gu Wenye's falling body.

The man's entire weight was placed on Qiu Yanping's hands without reservation, and Qiu Yanping laid Gu Wenye flat on the ground with some difficulty.

The nightmare beast invaded Gu Wenye's mind, seemingly trying to use it to delay Qiu Yanping.

Qiu Yanping secretly blamed himself for being distracted when he should not have been, and also blamed himself for trusting Gu Wenye too much. He thought that the people least likely to be attacked by the Nightmare Beast were him and Gu Wenye, because Gu Wenye was too strong mentally and did not seem like the type that would be attacked by the Nightmare Beast. Therefore, he relaxed his vigilance, but did not expect the Nightmare Beast to take advantage of him.

Gu Wenye closed his eyes tightly, his brows were wrinkled, and his eyeballs moved rapidly from side to side under his eyelids. His fingers subconsciously dug into the floor, and his nails scratched the floor with a "squeaking" sound that made people's scalps tingle.

Qiu Yanping did not expect Gu Wenye's reaction to be so dramatic. He was a little flustered and quickened his movements, repeating the steps to force the nightmare beast out of Shen Shenzhi's body.

Gu Wenye shook his head and began to mutter and groan softly. The nightmare beast's desperate struggle really caused Gu Wenye a lot of trouble.

When Qiu Yanping heard Gu Wenye shouting something in a low voice, he subconsciously paid some attention and was surprised to find that Gu Wenye, who was in a nightmare, was actually calling his name.

Qiu Yanping didn't have time to think about what Gu Wenye dreamed about, and why he was in his dream. He just wanted to get rid of the annoying nightmare beast as soon as possible.

The nightmare beast once again let out a strange cry and escaped from Gu Wenye's mouth. This time Qiu Yanping did not give the nightmare beast any chance. The yellow talisman was attached to the nightmare beast and burned. As the talisman paper burned to ashes, the nightmare beast also dissipated.

Qiu Yanping relaxed his shoulders, looked at Gu Wenye, who was still sweating and a little restless on the ground, squatted down, lifted him up, and dragged him to the side of Shen Shenzhi's bed. He wanted to put Gu Wenye on Shen Shenzhi's bed and wait for him to wake up and recover naturally, but now he was holding Gu Wenye and standing in front of Shen Shenzhi's bed, but he hesitated again, thinking that it was not appropriate for Gu Wenye to sleep in another man's bed.

While he was hesitating, Gu Wenye slowly opened his eyes. The aftereffects of being attacked by the nightmare beast made his face look sickly pale.

Gu Wenye knew that he was attacked by a nightmare beast. Once he escaped from the nightmare that forcibly controlled him, he quickly forced himself to wake up.

To forcibly escape from a dream in this way requires a high level of mental strength from the dreamer. Even if one can successfully escape, the harm to oneself will be severe. However, Gu Wenye's personality would not allow him to stay in someone else's home in such a weak position. Therefore, even though he was aware of the possible harm, Gu Wenye was still stubborn and insisted on going his own way.

Qiu Yanping was a little surprised to see Gu Wenye wake up so quickly, but he reacted quickly. He was a little angry, but he understood Gu Wenye's character, so his choice didn't seem particularly surprising. He pursed his lips and pulled the weak Gu Wenye to sit on a chair beside him to rest.

"Where's the Nightmare Beast?" Gu Wenye perked up and looked around. In fact, he could tell from Qiu Yanping's relaxed look that the crisis had been resolved. However, he saw that Qiu Yanping looked unhappy and a little depressed, and he didn't know what had happened, so he had to find an excuse to talk about it, "Has it been resolved?"

"Yeah." Qiu Yanping actually knew that he should not be directed at Gu Wenye for his anger. It was his own problem. He was careless for a moment, which gave the nightmare beast an opportunity to take advantage of him. The nightmare beast did not attack him because he really had nothing to fear in his heart. However, the face that the nightmare beast conjured up has always been a knot in his heart that he could not untie. Seeing it suddenly in this world made him a little dazed.

He had a glorious life in his previous life, but a Feng Shui master cannot have everything go his way. There are people he cannot save and mistakes he cannot make up for. The Nightmare Beast honestly and alertly conjured up that face. That face belonged to an ordinary person whom Qiu Yanping had failed to save. It was the first person who had watched someone he could not save helplessly in front of him. This had a great impact on him, so much so that until now, this face still has a great impact on him.

This action of the Nightmare Beast gave itself a chance to escape, but it foolishly chose to use attack to restrain Qiu Yanping. In the end, it was killed by Qiu Yanping and annihilated in the world.

When Gu Wenle ran back, he saw Shen Shenzhi still lying on the bed. The silence between Qiu Yanping and Gu Wenye was a bit depressing. "Brother, Mr. Qiu."

"Well, I just ran away... I couldn't help it... I ran away far away subconsciously..." Gu Wenle admitted his mistake.

Qiu Yanping waved his hands and said, "It's human nature. It would be more troublesome if you keep it in case you get targeted by the nightmare beast." No one could react better than Gu Wenye - although it was a bit unfair to General Gu to say so - Qiu Yanping thought, if it was Gu Wenle, then Jiang Tengjin'er would probably still be in a dream and unable to wake up.

"Eh? Brother? You look so bad!" Gu Wenle suddenly shouted.

"It was my negligence that caused your brother to be attacked by the nightmare beast." Qiu Yanping said.

Gu Wenye shook his head and said, "I'm fine."

Gu Wenle stared at Gu Wenye's face and said, "Are you really okay? It's my fault. If I had known, I wouldn't have run away..." Gu Wenle pursed his lips and said sullenly.

"If you don't run, the nightmare beast will target you." Gu Wenye smiled slightly. He looked at Gu Wenle who seemed to be a little self-critical and said, "It doesn't make any difference. Don't take it to heart. Besides, with your courage, you will be unable to control yourself if your instincts prevail."

Gu Wenle: “…”

Gu Wenye glanced at Qiu Yanping again and saw that Qiu Yanping still didn't say anything. Usually, Qiu Yanping liked to join in the fun and make fun of Gu Wenle, but now he didn't say a word, which was really abnormal. He thought about it, frowned, but didn't know what to do.

"By the way, brother, what kind of nightmare did you have?" Gu Wenle suddenly remembered and asked.

News Industry: "..."

After hearing this, Qiu Yanping perked up a little and looked over.

Gu Wenye saw that Qiu Yanping finally had some reaction. He curled his lips and stammered, "I dreamed that my legs lost consciousness again."

"I heard you calling my name." Qiu Yanping suddenly said, he was a little confused and curious, "Am I in your dream?"

"… probably wanted to see Mr. Qiu to treat his leg. I can't remember clearly." Gu Wenye's face was embarrassed, but his ears turned red involuntarily. He prevaricated, stood up from the chair, and changed the subject abruptly, saying, "Since the nightmare beast has been dealt with, we should not stay in someone else's house any longer, let A Shen rest by himself."

Gu Wenle was simply taken over by his eldest brother. He glanced at Shen Shenzhi lying on the bed, nodded and said, "He will be fine after sleeping like this for one night, right?"

"Yeah." Qiu Yanping responded, but his eyes were still on Gu Wenye. Unless the dream woven by the nightmare beast had been eaten by it, how could it be forgotten so easily?

Gu Wenye felt uncomfortable being looked at by Qiu Yanping. He pursed his lips, met Qiu Yanping's gaze, and slowly spoke, "Mr. Qiu, I feel a little uncomfortable."

"...Gu Wenle, can we leave now? Let's go back to the general's mansion!" Qiu Yanping's heart softened, and he immediately put aside his little doubts and urged.

Gu Wenle was stunned for a moment, then nodded in confusion, "Sure, let's go."
