Chapter 58 Whose Dream
Not to mention trying to find a solution for Annuo, Nanwang didn't even dare to return to Panlong Palace.
If he didn't go back, Du Xueling wouldn't think too much about it. But if he went back, he would be selling out both himself and An Nuo.
There is no other way, absolutely no other way, except to endure it.
I waited until Du Xueling gave up and left Panlong Palace...
Nan Wang lay on the bed with a heavy heart, tossing and turning.
He thought he would have a sleepless night, but although his mind was still functioning, his body fell into a deep sleep.
He stayed in the secret realm for more than half a month, during which time his mind was in an extremely tense state, almost to the point of being overdrawn.
Now he has returned to Qingyun Sect. Although the current situation is still complicated, the fact that Fifth Junior Sister is alive and An Nuo is also alive is already the best outcome.
Perhaps it was because he was really too tired that Nan Wang knew clearly that he was dreaming, but he couldn't wake up.
In his dream, he was walking aimlessly on a flat path. All around him were flowers in bloom, grass growing, and birds singing, creating a peaceful scene.
But the strange thing is that all the scenery, passers-by, birds and animals are colorless.
The tones of black, white and gray filled his vision and his entire world.
He walked for a long time, but he didn't know where his destination was.
Until one moment, he stopped.
He saw a trace of blood.
The blood was bright red, and it caught his sight so abruptly in the black and white world, and led him away from the flat path.
——Can’t go.
——Turn back quickly.
——Go back, go back, go back!
The child's voice echoed in his mind, trying his best to keep him from straying from the path.
He turned a deaf ear and strode away.
The scenery of birds singing and flowers blooming gradually turned into overgrown weeds. In the mass graves piled with bones, unknown crows, with their ugly voices, looked down from high above, waiting for the birth of new food.
He just swept it lightly, and the demons and monsters screamed and fled away.
Even in dangerous situations, his path ahead is still smooth.
No one can stop him, no one is worthy of stopping him.
The bloodstains became brighter and brighter, gathering in front of a figure.
The man was covered in blood and kneeling on the cliff.
——Run.
—Can’t go to him.
——He will kill you.
——He is your only calamity in this world.
"No."
Nanwang heard his own voice.
He rejected the other party's earnest proposal.
Of course he refused.
This is the only colorful thing in his world. Even if it means death, he wants to find out.
However, what he said in his dream was——
"What a joke! Who in the nine heavens and underworld is worthy of being my death?"
Nanwang: “…”
It's so unlucky that I dreamed about someone else.
Who is this person?
You deserve a beating for talking like that.
You must have gotten beaten a lot when you went out, right?
…
Nanwang always felt a little itchy on his face.
When he tilted his head to the left, his right cheek itched; when he tilted his head to the right, his left cheek itched.
He opened his eyes dazedly and saw the human-shaped An Nuo using his hair as a small brush to brush his face.
“I’ll go!”
Nanwang suddenly lost all sleepiness and rolled off the bed.
"Why did you come out? You, you, where is the senior sister? How is the senior sister?"
"She went back. Otherwise, how would I dare to come out to find you?"
Annuo sighed:
"I knelt all night without saying anything. I thought I was exposed and was scared all night. But at dawn, she suddenly said something like "You are still young, please let me take good care of you"... Then she got up and left."
Nan Wang panted for a long time, wiping the cold sweat on his head with lingering fear: "It's good that he's gone, it's good that he's gone, it's good that no one found him..."
An Nuo said angrily, "What's the use of having you! I was scared the whole night, and you, look at you, you slept so soundly that you even drooled and wet the pillow!"
"No way, I sleep very well and never open my mouth!" Nan Wang retorted, feeling guilty at the same time. After all, it was a fact that he fell asleep: "I was too tired after returning from the secret realm, and I fell asleep accidentally. There was nothing I could do..."
An Nuo said unhappily, "You just know how to find excuses!"
Nan Wang said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I apologize. It was my fault. Master An Nuo, please forgive me this time. I will make you something delicious. I will make you whatever you want to eat. Do you think this is okay?"
An Nuo said, "That's good enough. I want to eat rabbit. Please cook it for me."
Nanwang: “…”
Cooking rabbits in Qingyun Sect, he probably felt that he had lived too long and wanted to end his life quickly and start the next one.
An Nuo saw Nan Wang's embarrassed expression and immediately stopped doing it: "What's going on? You said you would cook everything for me?"
Nan Wang said helplessly, "Let's wait until next time, Rabbit. Next time we go out of the sect, we can eat whatever we want. Since we are in the sect, we should eat something safer. Fifth Junior Sister is back now. I'll ask her to make my pancake pan and make pancakes for you. How about that?"
An Nuo asked in confusion: "What are pancakes? Are they delicious?"
Nan Wang said, "It's delicious! In my previous life... ahem, no, before I entered Qingyun Sect, when I was still in the mortal world, my favorite thing to eat was pancakes."
An Nuo did not find the loophole in Nanwang's words. He just nodded and said, "You entered Qingyun Sect at a young age. It has been such a long time, and you can still remember the food you loved to eat when you were a child. It seems that this pancake is really delicious."
Nanwang: “…”
An Nuo: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go find our fifth apprentice sister."
"Wait wait wait, you can't go with me like this."
Nanwang frowned and said:
"How can I introduce you to my Fifth Junior Sister? Tell her that you are my friend in the mortal world? You don't look like a mortal at all. Also, is it really okay for you to leave Panlong Palace like this? What if some elders, true disciples, or the like come to look for you?"
An Nuo said, "No problem, no problem at all. I did some research yesterday. The Panlong Palace has a formation. If someone comes to see me, the formation will be triggered, so I will never activate the formation, which is equivalent to refusing guests in disguise."
Nan Wang was amazed and said, "Of course you can. You have figured this out. You are really capable!"
An Nuo sighed, "I was forced to do this. Du Xueling's aura is too terrifying. If it were you, you would be able to figure it out as well."
Nanwang: “…”
Although he had not experienced it personally, he could understand Annuo's feelings at that time.
That's Du Xueling, who wouldn't be afraid of her?
Fortunately, after inheriting the cultivation of the Immortal Venerable, An Nuo has unlimited potential and can squeeze it as much as possible.
An Nuo said: "Is this all right now? Let's go find our fifth apprentice sister."
Nanwang: "Wait, wait, wait, you definitely can't go like this. You look like a non-human now."
An Nuo said angrily: "How do I look like a human? Don't I have two eyes and a nose?"
Nanwang: “…”
The white hair and red eyes could barely be explained as an albinos patient, but how to explain the black ancient spell that kept wandering on his skin?
Nan Wan's eyes fell from An Nuo's beautiful face to his slender white wrists, and then he circled twice around the knotted red rope he gave to An Nuo: "You really can't do this, there is no room for explanation... …Speaking of which, your rope is a bit too big. It’s loose on your hand. Let me tighten it for you.”
An Nuo covered the red rope in his hand to prevent Nan Wang from touching it, and said angrily: "What's wrong with me? What do you mean? Explain it clearly!"
Nan Wang said helplessly: "Okay, okay, you can go anywhere. Can you still transform now? Change back into a rabbit and we can go find the fifth sister."
"Okay, okay, I'll try."
Annuo closed his eyes and chanted some magic tricks. After a while, his body disappeared, and only a fat rabbit was left in its place.
The rabbit spoke: "Chirp, chirp."
That's enough for now.
“…”
Nan Wang fell silent as he looked at the big white rabbit that had transformed and was wrapped in black ancient spells like chains.
An Nuo urged: "Chijijiji!"
Go away!
"No, wait a minute..."
Nan Wang sighed, reached into his storage bag and rummaged around, pulling out a smooth mirror.
He placed the mirror on the table and carried An Nuo to the mirror.
"Look at yourself, how can you get out?"
An Nuo looked at the mirror, twisted his waist, tilted his head, raised his paws, looked left and right, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? What's the problem? Am I not the same as before?"
"What are you talking about? You are not the same as before, you..."
Nan Wang stopped talking midway.
Because his eyes also fell on the mirror.
In the mirror, the soft rabbit was lifted up by Nan Wang's waist, and the excess flesh fell through his fingers. There was not a trace of other colors on the snow-white fur, as if it was an endless snowfield.
Nan Wang's mind paused for a moment, and he looked down at An Nuo.
The black ancient spell appeared clearly on Annuo's fur, surrounding him layer by layer.
However, when Nan Wang looked at the mirror, An Nuo in the mirror was spotlessly white, without a single black spot.
Nan Wang silently took half a step back, broadening his vision a little.
Something magical happened.
The An Nuo he saw with his peripheral vision and the image reflected in the mirror were actually different!
Nanwang: “…”
He originally wanted to ask Annuo why he became like this, but now, he doesn't have to ask anymore!
It turned out that the problem was with him!
His eyes were very abnormal when he just came out of the secret realm, but that situation did not last long and he recovered quickly, so he did not think too much about it.
Now thinking about it, he was indeed careless.
An Nuo asked in confusion: "Chijiji?"
What are you looking at?
Nanwang said sadly: "There may be something wrong with my eyes. The picture I see seems to be different from the real picture."
An Nuo: “Jijiji?”
Is there such a thing? What did you see?
Nanwang shook his head: "Well, there's nothing special. I think my retina or something might be injured. It was injured in the secret realm. It seems I have to go find Elder Chang to take a look."
Elder Chang was originally a disciple of the Dan Sect, and is now an outer sect elder. Although he is not very proficient in the art of alchemy, he is good at prescribing the right medicine for the right disease. When the outer sect disciples have health problems, they will go to him for a checkup.
An Nuo: “Chichichichi…”
It sounds serious. Let's go.
Nanwang said: "No, no hurry."
He closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them again.
His vision returned to normal for a moment, then returned to normal.
Nan Wang shifted his gaze to other things and found that everything else was normal, exactly the same as the image in the mirror.
Only Anno is different.
Now, Nan Wang was a little confused again.
Is he the one with the problem, or is it An Nuo?
