The Prequel of Ukiyo-e

Chapter 9

Nightmare is not easy to subdue, after all, it has no entity, it is just a nightmare formed by one person's obsession.If it wasn't for a little accident in the middle, Bai Zeyan believed that this nightmare would definitely be able to escape easily.

At that time, Bai Zeyan was mingling with Mengmai, when Huaying took off the veil of Mengmai, an indistinguishable face fell into the eyes of Bai Zeyan and Zhan Zhao.Nightmare froze for a moment, and raised his hand to touch his face, like a locked door suddenly snapped open, and the outside light leaked into the dark room, all the sealed memories flooded into his mind, It wasn't until this moment that Nightmare realized that the truth was so ridiculous. It turned out that he was just a Nightmare born of remorse.

After Hua Xuyao ​​was designed to die by Qiu Yan, it was not until a long time later that Qiu Yan gradually recognized his heart, and only then did he realize that he had fallen in love with Hua Xuyao ​​without knowing it.Regret was like a heartworm, gnawing at his heart every day, and the dreams became more and more frequent, but in the end, the dreams turned into nightmares, tormenting him all day long, and finally on the day when the blood in his heart was exhausted, the nightmare turned into a foreign body.Hua Xuyao's Nine Heavens Ring Pendant was finally replaced by Nightmare, which also replaced Hua Xuyao's face.It's just that the memory of Nightmare is all about Hua Xuyao, but it is different from other newly born foreign objects. It has its own thoughts and is an independent individual, so I don't want to be another person, so I finally chose to seal it. I just want to be a ruthless and desireless ordinary foreign body. This will last for thousands of years, and the key to unlocking the seal is to take off the veil.

"I'm just me, not Hua Xuyao, just Mengmai!" After knowing the cause and effect, Mengmai only shouted one sentence, but this sentence was enough to make her hysterical.It looked at its own hands, which were a pair of beautiful hands, slender and strong, but it was a pity that these hands were stained with the blood of too many people in the name of Qinzhimeng.Both Hua Xuyao ​​and its nightmare hate killing, but in order to inherit and survive, they can only choose to do so.

Bai Zeyan held the sword and stood opposite the nightmare, staring at it all the time, fearing that it would suddenly violently attack him after it went mad and give him a real critical blow.It's just that no one thought that it would choose to kill itself.Maybe it's enough to live this kind of life, or maybe it can't accept the truth, but it doesn't matter what the answer is, after all, all the grievances and grievances have disappeared with the nightmare's self-termination.

A spirit bead emitting a faint blue light was floating in mid-air, Bai Zeyan blinked, and finally jumped over to grab the spirit bead emitting a faint blue light.

So everything ended so quietly.Because the case was solved in secret, it was not filed in the end.

···········Dividing line···········

"Cat, do you have a vacation recently?"

"Yes, the cold food and the Qingming Festival are approaching, and Zhan is going back to his hometown in Changzhou to wrap up the graves for the ancestors, sweep the tombs, and go for an outing." Zhan Zhao answered smoothly this time, since he was dumbfounded by Bai Zeyan last time After being speechless, he went back and quietly asked Huzi and the four of them to find out.

"Going for an outing? Sigh~ I'm afraid I'm going on a blind date." Bai Zeyan muttered softly.

"What?" Zhan Zhao asked again without listening carefully.

But Bai Zeyan's temper has always been stinky, so naturally he won't obediently listen to Zhan Zhao's words and repeat them a second time.

"Oh, nothing."

Zhan Zhao glanced at Bai Zeyan suspiciously, he naturally didn't believe Bai Zeyan's words, but since Uncle Bai didn't want to say it, he didn't want to make fun of himself.

Bai Zeyan turned his head and squinted his eyes to enjoy the heat of the sun on his body comfortably, the warm feeling was really comfortable.

The sun is slanting, and the thoughts are getting farther and farther, like a thin line getting longer and longer.

The results of some things are always unexpected. No one's vow will last forever. The so-called dry sea is just a self-righteous joke when I was young.

After the nightmare incident ended, Bai Yanze went to Xiao Weiren's hometown to satisfy his curiosity, only to realize that there was really something tricky about it.

The Xiao family was originally a well-known family, but because Xiao Weiren fell in love with the actor Qingtong, he was framed by the son of the county magistrate who also liked bronze, and the Xiao family was destroyed overnight, leaving Xiao Weiren alone.

Qing Tongyuan also silently liked Xiao Weiren, but he never expressed his affection because of his family status. He didn't dare to stand up until Xiao's family fell, and Xiao Weiren's will also sank. He redeemed himself with his savings, left Liyuan and never appeared on stage again, but only concentrated on living with Xiao.

Because of Qingtong's comfort, Xiao Weiren quickly came out of the shadows. In order to retaliate against the county magistrate's family and to prevent Qingtong from suffering with him, Xiao Weiren decided to take the imperial examination and successfully went to Kaifeng Mansion to participate in the Kaifeng Mansion Examination , in one sentence, it was just because of his handsome appearance and elegant conversation that he was favored by the daughter of Guo Shangshu at that time. Under pressure, he had to marry the girl of the Guo family.

After Qingtong found out about this, he also chased after him to the capital. He originally planned to ask Xiao Weiren to clarify, but in the end he didn't know why.Xiao Weiren didn't know that Qingtong had settled down in the capital, nor did he know that Qingtong sat on the threshold every day and sang lovesickness over and over again, and he didn't know that his wife quietly turned his old bottom upside down and borrowed After offering incense and praying for blessings, he went to warn Qingtong in person.It was not until five years after Qingtong's death that Xiao Wei knew that his sweetheart had gone away alone in a small corner of the capital.Sad and depressed, he came to the place where Qingtong lived before he was alive, and found Qingtong's playbook, which was Qingtong's favorite play.Perhaps the obsession with not being able to love is too strong to attract the nightmare.

Obsession, huh~ There are too many obsessive people in this world, even foreign objects are no exception, otherwise, how could they be so persistent in wanting to live?Even when they were born without their own thoughts, they would live persistently, just because there was an invisible obsession supporting them.It's a pity that there are no dreams for foreign objects, otherwise this nightmare would have been able to eradicate some foreign objects invisibly.

So what exactly is my obsession?What am I trying to live for?Thinking of this, Bai Zeyan was confused, and suddenly felt that everything seemed to have lost its original meaning.There are some things that really cannot be delved into, otherwise only you can understand the confusion in the dilemma.
