Mu Nuan was drinking the porridge slowly, mouthful by mouthful, and from time to time she glanced at Master Zhuang who was sitting opposite her, fearing that she would miss any of his words.
Her parents surrounded her, one helping to feed her and the other helping to wipe her mouth, but they also pricked up their ears and listened attentively to Zhuang Li's speech.
This time, they just came to try their luck, but they didn't expect that there was such a powerful master hidden among the people!
Zhuang Li crossed his legs and spoke slowly, "When most people dream, they don't realize they're dreaming and still think they're in reality, a reality that no one can control. So, in their dreams, these people can only drift with the tide, floating up and down, struggling with poverty, fearing danger, and lost in the pursuit of money. It's not so much that they're dreaming, but rather that they've entered another parallel world, living out another life beyond their control. Nightmares exploit this very principle."
Mu Nuan unconsciously stopped drinking her porridge and looked at Master Zhuang intently. She knew that it was very important for her to understand and remember every word Master Zhuang said. It could save her life!
Zhuang Li raised his hand: "You continue to drink your porridge, I will try to speak slower."
Mu Nuan's eyes welled up, and she almost cried. Because of this gentleness and consideration, and also because of the sun dream that had previously severely injured Meng Mo, her trust and reliance on Master Zhuang had become deep-rooted.
She nodded, choked with agreement, and then drank the porridge in big gulps.
When Mr. and Mrs. Mu saw their daughter suddenly become so positive, they couldn't help but smile with joy.
This was exactly the effect Zhuang Li was aiming for. Hypnosis could only be most effective if the subject fully cooperated.
He then continued, "The nightmare demon knows it's invading a dream, so anything it wants can happen in the dream. Its ability to control dreams comes from this knowledge. Therefore, I want you in the dream to have this knowledge as well. When you enter the dream and immediately realize that this is my dream, then from this moment on, you have become the creator of this dream."
Zhuang Li leaned forward slightly, staring into Mu Nuan's eyes that suddenly lit up. His tone was calm, yet it was filled with incomparable strength: "Believe me, you can easily kill the nightmare without any help from anyone."
Mu Nuan nodded vigorously, tears welling up in her eyes again, not because of despair, but because of the hope and excitement that kept welling up from the bottom of her heart.
"So, I just need to train you on how to realize that it's a dream the moment you enter it. In the dream, you are completely awake and you know that you can dominate everything, so you can dominate everything.
“You said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light; you said, ‘Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters,’ and there was a firmament; you said, ‘Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear,’ and dry land appeared.
"You are all in all, the god of gods, ruler of the skies, seas, and lands. A demon is unworthy of even a glance from you. If it invades the lucid dream you have created, it will be annihilated by your might."
Zhuang Li described this scene of creation in a slow and soft voice, and stretched out his palm, slowly closing it, making a gesture that everything was under control.
The terrifying incitement contained in his words not only made Mu Nuan yearn for the omnipotent self in her dreams, but also made the blood of the people who were listening boil.
Xuan Ming leaned close to the little devil's ear and whispered, "Even I have never experienced this feeling before."
He was a god of this land, supposedly possessing the power to create the universe. However, when he woke up, the Lord God had already stolen most of his power. He didn't even have time to fully understand the world that had nurtured him and existed because of him, before he was forced to face death prematurely.
Zhuang Li pointed to his heart and whispered, "To me, you are everything, the God of Gods. You are the ruler of my body, soul, and even my faith. If you ask for love, I will give you all my love; if you ask for happiness, I will create happiness for you; if you ask for eternity, I will walk into eternity with you. You are my lover and my God."
After saying that, he gently scratched Xuan Ming's palm with his slender fingertips and said with a soft smile: "How is it, do you feel it now?"
Xuan Ming crossed his long legs and said in a hoarse voice full of restraint: "I feel it."
Zhuang Li chuckled again, then wanted to step back and end the whisper.
Xuan Ming suddenly held his hand and whispered inaudibly, "I'm hard."
Hearing such a passionate confession, he had no way of remaining calm.
Zhuang Li was slightly stunned, then his eyes narrowed in a smile. He gently stroked Xuan Ming's cheek and murmured, "Me too."
The two of them looked at each other deeply, then both turned their heads away, raised the corners of their lips, and silently savored the happiness of the moment.
Xiaodao and Huangmao looked at the captain whose whole body was covered with the words "tough guy with a soft heart" and couldn't help but roll their eyes.
Zi Wei didn't even notice the sour smell of love in the air. He shouted carelessly, "Captain, this lucid dream is amazing! Please teach me! I want to become a god!"
Zhuang Li stretched out his hand to him: "Give me a piece of white paper, a drawing board, and a pencil."
"What do you want these things for?" Zi Wei searched the whole room but couldn't find the drawing board, so he put a piece of A4 paper on a thick book and gave it to Zhuang Li.
"You saw the true face of that devil in your dream, right?" Zhuang Li looked at Mu Nuan.
Mu Nuan nodded fearfully, somewhat afraid to recall that twisted and hideous face.
"Don't be afraid. Describe his appearance to me. I can find him in real life and investigate all his experiences. To kill your enemy, you must first understand him and grasp his weaknesses and pain points. Only by grasping his weaknesses and pain points can you accurately hit his vital points.
"On one side is your unparalleled power, and on the other is an enemy whose weaknesses have been exposed. You will definitely win this battle." Zhuang Li tapped the armrest of the sofa with the tip of his pen and encouraged, "So don't be afraid. Describe his appearance to me. Remember, before he became a demon, he was just an ordinary person, and everyone has weaknesses."
His words were full of power, and they also inspired Mu Nuan's courage, so she nodded vigorously: "I'll tell you what he looks like now! I'll think about it!"
She overcame all her fears, closed her eyes and returned to those terrible dreams. Even though her body couldn't stop shaking, she still explored the face hidden in the darkness with strength and tried to describe it.
She obeyed Zhuang Li's words to the point of obedience. As long as he opened his mouth, she would go all out.
This kind of spiritual guidance and control left Zi Wei in awe. In this respect, Zhuang Li was indeed worthy of the title of half-immortal.
As Zhuang Li listened, he quickly sketched a face. It was a man, about thirty years old, skinny and with an ordinary appearance. However, the evil and vicious aura hidden deep in his eyes made people feel uncomfortable.
Mu's father and mother only took two glances before looking away in fear.
Only then did Xiaodao and Huangmao understand why their sister-in-law had asked if the nightmare was a ghost. His method of dealing with demons and monsters was completely different from that of traditional exorcists or mystics, but it seemed more sophisticated.
"It's really impressive!" Huangmao couldn't help but sigh.
Zi Wei finally understood that Zhuang Daxian wasn't ignorant of common sense, but rather too unconventional. He clearly didn't know any Taoist magic or exorcisms, yet he could still find ways to deal with demons and monsters.
What is the structure of his brain?
While he was daydreaming, Zhuang Li had already finished the sketch and showed it to Mu Nuan: "Is it him?"
"It's him!" Mu Nuan shrank into her mother's arms in fear.
Zhuang Li immediately handed the sketch to Zi Wei and said, "You guys from the Dragon Team should be able to quickly find out about this person's life, right? Once you do, bring me all his information. I'll need to study it carefully in preparation for the next step of the exorcism."
Zi Wei knew that saving people was like putting out a fire, so he didn't bother to explain his identity and the purpose of applying for the job, and hurriedly left with the sketch.
Zhuang Li extended his hand to Mu's father. "Please lend me your phone so I can record some hypnosis scripts. That way, you can hypnotize Mu Nuan at home and have her sleep deeply for ten minutes every two hours to prevent her from becoming sleepy. When you go back, buy her some nutritious food to nourish her. Come back when she's recovered. I'll teach her how to have lucid dreams then."
Father Mu nodded and handed over his cell phone, thanking him profusely.
Zhuang Li recorded several hypnotic sessions, asking Mu Nuan to imagine herself in her dreams as the sun, red flames, cold blades, and other untouchable objects. This would both enhance her sense of security and allow her to develop a powerful will.
Once this idea becomes ingrained over time, she will become more adept at it during lucid dreams.
Mr. and Mrs. Mu carefully wrote down the steps of hypnosis in a notebook, thanked him repeatedly, secretly stuffed a wad of money into the gap of the sofa, and then prepared to leave.
At this moment, Old Lady Zhang rushed in with her granddaughter Zhang Tingting, crying out in gratitude, "Master Zhuang, you saved my Tingting's life this time! I just took her to the hospital for a physical examination, and the doctor said that her long-term staying up late has induced malignant ventricular arrhythmia. If she continues like this, she will be in danger of sudden death! Master Zhuang, you really got it right! If you hadn't reminded me in time, my Tingting--"
Old Lady Zhang didn't dare to continue. She hurriedly pulled her granddaughter and ordered, "Tingting, kowtow to Master Zhuang! He's your savior!"
Zhang Tingting had been terrified in the hospital earlier, but luckily, thanks to this physical examination, she no longer had to be forced by her parents to attend so many cram schools every day. She could finally take a few days off and get a good night's sleep at home.
So she knelt down willingly and kowtowed three times to her benefactor.
Seeing this scene, Mu's parents felt even more confident that they had found the right person! Master Zhuang was indeed the most powerful master in the province!
Mu Nuan's eyes also lit up with a blazing fire of hope. Master Zhuang would definitely be able to save her, she firmly believed it!
