"The situation you described may be because someone entered your dream."
Xuan Shuzhi said this, and seeing Hua Chi's reaction, he couldn't help but frown and asked curiously, "What did you see? But logically speaking, you were pulled into the dream by the Huiguang Pearl in the space of the Yunxiu Pen. Who can enter your dream?"
Hua Shi shook his head. He did not answer Xuan Shuzhi's next question. He just pressed on eagerly, "Is it true that we can enter dreams? So it is possible that the person I saw was that person?"
Xuan Shuzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at Hua Shi, correcting him: "Of course not."
Hua Shi instantly became depressed again after hearing this, but before he could feel disappointed, Xuan Shuzhi said, "It's just a possibility."
Hua Shi's heartbeat was up and down because of Xuan Shuzhi's words, and his expression changed again and again. He looked at Xuan Shuzhi almost fainted, and said in a sad voice: "Master, can you finish what you want to say at once?"
Xuan Shuzhi stopped teasing him and said with a smile: "Alright, I just told you every possibility. I don't know much about Huiguangzhu, but if the dream of Huiguangzhu is similar to the illusion arrays I have seen before, then it is possible that someone broke in. In some dreams, after the intruder enters, the owner of the dream will not notice. Since you said that you think the dream is strange, this should not be the case."
Seeing Hua Shi's focused expression and his eyes urging him on, Xuan Shuzhi did not pause and continued quickly, "And if the intruder can change your dream, there are two situations. One of them is that he already exists in your dream, and after he enters the dream, he will replace the fantasy in your dream and change your dream."
After hearing this, Hua Shi felt as if some vague and untraceable thoughts began to explode in his mind. He almost used all his restraint to suppress it, and then tried to calm himself and asked: "What is another possibility?"
Xuan Shuzhi said: "Another possibility is that the person is not anyone in your illusion, so after entering the illusion, he will replace a character in your dream at will according to the rules of the illusion."
Hua Shi was stunned: "So..."
He was unable to continue his words, as if he did not want to break some kind of expectation, so Xuan Shuzhi took the initiative to finish his words for him and said, "So the person you saw might also be someone else pretending to be him, but you just mistook him for someone else."
Hua Shi couldn't hide the dejected look on his face. After Xuan Shuzhi said so much, he couldn't help but say, "I'll tell you all the possibilities, but you need to make your own judgment. Do you understand?"
Hua Shi lowered his head and did not respond. He seemed to be still thinking about something, or perhaps he was caught up in some emotion.
At this time, Yi Zhan, who was far away, came back, looked at Hua Shi who looked strange, then looked at Xuan Shuzhi who was thinking about something, frowned and asked Hua Shi: "What are you still talking about?" He said and changed his gentle expression to Xuan Shuzhi, "Wen Zhong and the others are waiting for you."
Hua Shi looked at his face-changing skills: "..."
He was unable to ask any further questions, but he had already asked most of the things he wanted to know. As for the rest, Xuan Shuzhi probably couldn't give him answers.
Watching Xuan Shuzhi and Yi Zhan walk inside, Hua Shi stood there alone. After a while, he remembered that Xuan Shuzhi had asked him to go to the practice room and wait first.
Returning to the familiar training room, Hua Shi discovered that even this place had changed a lot from before. The things in the room were tidier, and there were even some marks on the walls. No one knew what kind of formation it was.
Hua Shi knew that the entire Yunxiu Pen space should have been organized by the system when he was unconscious, so these formations should have been drawn by it.
I just don't know what this thing actually does.
Hua Shi thought about these things aimlessly, and suddenly denied his previous thoughts.
Is it really just him and the system in this space?
But who was that person who broke into his dream? According to his master, that person might actually be Liu Qishuang, or maybe he was just someone else who accidentally entered Liu Qishuang's shell in his dream and spoke to him in Liu Qishuang's identity.
Hua Shi was in a daze. He raised his hand and rubbed his head, recalling the words Liu Qishuang said in the dream and the way he looked when he rubbed his head. He still had an inexplicable intuition in his heart that the person was Liu Qishuang.
In the past, he heard people talking about Liu Qishuang's story, and everyone thought he was dead. But it was not until later when he learned about Liu Qishuang's connection with the ancient clan in the ruins of Frost Forest Valley that he realized that things were not as people thought.
He began to believe that there must be something behind this, or that Liu Qishuang's death was not what people saw.
These things were unfounded, but he chose to believe them for no reason and tried to investigate.
Now he believes that Liu Qishuang is not dead, and the person he saw in his dream is most likely the real Liu Qishuang. This is just a vague feeling, and he doesn't even know how to prove it, but he still chooses to believe it.
But now he had no way to prove it. He couldn't even tell anyone about his guess. He had no way to investigate.
Or rather...
Hua Shi drew out the Lingsha Sword and planned to practice as usual, but after drawing the sword, Hua Shi stared at the snow-white blade of the Lingsha Sword and fell into deep thought unconsciously.
He was pulled into a dream by the Huiguang Pearl, and he only remembered the events of the dream, but completely forgot the true function of the Huiguang Pearl: it allows people to see things that have happened in the past.
He wanted to see clearly whether it was Liu Qishuang who had come here before. Would he be able to find out by asking Huiguangzhu?
This thought suddenly popped up in his mind, and Hua Shi could no longer calm down. He almost immediately took out the Huiguang Pearl he carried with him, held it in his hand and stared at it closely. But after staring at it for a long time, he was too nervous to say the name to the pearl immediately.
The name rolled over his tongue countless times, but he finally swallowed it back.
He seemed to be waiting for some kind of judgment, and he was at a loss. After struggling for a long time, he stood up and walked out. He walked out of the room and went to the back of the palace. At first, his steps were relatively slow, but later they became faster and faster, until he almost ran to the hot spring pool while panting.
This hot spring pool was exactly the one where he was brought by the system to heal his injuries last time.
Hua Shi stood by the pool, looking at the rising mist, holding the Huimeng Pearl tightly in his hand, his fingertips even turning blue.
It was here that he was brought into his dream by Huimengzhu last time. If someone really broke into his dream, they would definitely appear here. As long as he called out that name in front of Huimengzhu, he would be able to verify whether the person who entered his dream was Liu Qishuang.
But if it weren't...
Hua Shi's fingertips unconsciously stroked the Huiguang Pearl, and he sat by the pool in a daze, until the sound of dripping water in the distance woke him up. He looked at the rock with water flowing in a trance, and finally stopped stroking. He clasped his ten fingers tightly around the Huiguang Pearl and whispered, "I want to see Liu Qishuang."
Finally saying this, Hua Shi's eyes became more radiant, and his tone was much firmer this time. He stood up and said again as if to confirm: "I want to see Liu Qishuang."
After he said this, he suddenly raised his head.
The surroundings were silent except for the sound of water. Others were still discussing something in the room at the other end, which seemed to be two completely different worlds from this pool.
Hua Shi just looked up and stared ahead in the silence. After a long time, fog began to rise from around him.
This is--
Hua Shi's eyes suddenly widened. He took two steps forward excitedly, but turned back as if he couldn't find the direction. He just circled in the same place, looking for any illusions that might appear around him.
He is now certain that the Huiguang Pearl reacts to the name Liu Qishuang, because at this moment there is clearly mist rising, bringing him into an illusion. He has used the Huiguang Pearl countless times and is already very clear about its state. In this situation, the Huiguang Pearl has clearly activated the illusion.
But for some reason, he looked around for a long time but did not see Liu Qishuang.
Where are the people?
Hua Shi's heart was beating wildly. This situation was completely different from when he used Huiguangzhu before. At that time, he was just watching the story that happened to Liu Qishuang a long time ago after many years. But now it was different. This situation meant that Liu Qishuang might be right next to him, or even he was...
Thinking of the vague guess in his mind, Hua Shi did not dare to continue with this idea. He quickly withdrew his mind and began to search in this illusion.
The illusion, which was originally supposed to last only five minutes, had already lasted half a minute, but there was still nothing in front of him. After the initial hesitation, Hua Shi finally realized that he might have been waiting in the wrong place. No matter whether it was the time in Tianqing City or later in the pavilion halfway up the mountain outside Xuanling Pavilion, he had found the person somewhere else after activating the Huiguang Pearl many times. The Huiguang Pearl seemed to have a range of action, but Hua Shi didn't know how big that range was.
If he's not here, where would he be?
There seemed to be some movement not far away. Hua Shi turned around suddenly. The illusion didn't last long, so he didn't hesitate this time and immediately rushed towards the place where the noise came from. However, after a moment, he came to the house outside the hot spring pool.
The door of the hut was half-open, and a faint voice came from inside: "What are you thinking about now?"
This voice was gentle and even a little soft, and Hua Shi was already very familiar with it. It was Liu Qishuang's voice.
He is indeed here.
Hua Shi stopped suddenly in front of the door. He knew clearly that he was in the illusion of Huiguangzhu and the people in the room could not possibly notice his presence. But Hua Shi was still afraid of being discovered, so he walked lightly outside the door, then slowly entered the room and saw clearly what was inside.
Liu Qishuang was sitting on a chair by the window in the room. His sitting posture was not as straight as usual. He was half leaning against the window, even looking a little idle.
At this time, he was holding a book in his hand, with a helpless smile on his lips, looking at the other person in front of him.
The man was lowering his head and struggling with a pile of fruits on the table. He held a pear in his left hand and grapes in his right hand and kept stuffing them into his mouth. His chin and the lapel of his shirt were full of juice. He looked very sloppy, but his expression was very satisfied.
The person eating was clearly Jiang Tingwan.
"Senior Jiang?" Hua Shi murmured, and he had already realized that the Jiang Tingwan at this moment was the Jiang Tingwan who later became unconscious, and not the Jiang Tingwan who was the master of the Star-Destroying Tower a thousand years ago.
So the scene he saw was indeed the scene a thousand years later, and the Liu Qishuang in front of him was indeed the Liu Qishuang a thousand years later.
He was indeed here.
Guessing the answer on your own is a completely different feeling from finding evidence to draw a conclusion. Hua Shi's cheeks turned slightly red, and he stared at Liu Qishuang in a daze. He actually felt a little envious of Senior Jiang who could sit in front of Liu Qishuang without any scruples.
In Huiguangzhu's illusion, Jiang Tingwan was almost choking while eating. Liu Qishuang was helpless and stood up to clean up his food: "You can't eat anymore."
Jiang Tingwan puffed up his cheeks and glanced at Liu Qishuang. Although he looked a little reluctant, he obediently put down the things in his hand.
Liu Qishuang said, "You recognized me, so you listened to me, right?"
Jiang Tingwan didn't know whether he understood Liu Qishuang's words or not. He still kept looking at Liu Qishuang. After burping, he took advantage of the other person's inattention and quietly reached out and hid a pear in his arms.
But this scene was obviously seen by Liu Qishuang.
Liu Qishuang looked at him with amusement: "I haven't seen you for such a long time, but you have learned a lot of rogue methods. How much of Hua Shi's food have you secretly eaten during this period? How many of his books have you damaged? When Hua Shi comes back from practice and sees these things, he will definitely be suspicious again. If I hadn't covered it up for you, he would have discovered it long ago."
Hearing his name coming out of Liu Qishuang's mouth, Hua Shi's body stiffened slightly. Besides being shaken by the shock, his cheeks instantly became hotter.
