The master said not to judge people by their appearance

Xie Yunlan sat up from the bed, breathing heavily, he still hadn't recovered from the pain of death.

This was the first time he experienced death in a dream. In the ice and snow, he felt his own blood flow out little by little, and his heart gradually stopped beating. This feeling was too real. Even when he woke up from the dream, he still had lingering fear. Without waiting for his breathing to catch up, he immediately went to check on Shen Fan who was sleeping beside him.

Shen Fan also woke up, he was safe and sound, without any injuries.

He sat up and looked at Xie Yunlan with an inexplicable look.

Xie Yunlan also looked at him, as if he was alive after a catastrophe, he felt very lucky at this moment, fortunately Shen Fan was fine.

He put his forehead on Shen Fan's shoulder and hugged him.

He had no other thoughts, he just wanted to hug each other suddenly.

Shen Fan didn't respond, but he didn't push it away either.

He let Xie Yunlan hug him quietly for a while.

As the mood gradually calmed down, Xie Yunlan let go of Shen Fan. He was still very tired, but he didn't give himself time to rest for a while, and quickly got up and dressed.

"We lost last night, tonight you will fall asleep..." He was about to analyze the countermeasures, but Shen Fan interrupted him and said, "You won't fall asleep tonight."

Xie Yunlan was startled, and stopped putting on clothes, and asked, "Why?"

"I'll help you disconnect the connection to Dream Realm." Shen Fan said lightly.

Xie Yunlan was startled again: "Can you disconnect Dreamland?"

"Only for you." Shen Fan looked at him and said.

Xie Yunlan: "That is to say, other people are still trapped in this dream realm?"

"Yes, but you will not be involved in this dream again." Shen Fan said.

This should have been good news. He was finally freed from this endless cycle of nightmares, but Xie Yunlan frowned and said, "We were able to defend the city before because they believed in me. If I wasn't here..."

"They will be killed over and over again, just like before." Shen Fan said again, "But you won't."

"But..." Xie Yunlan was about to speak when Huang Yaowu's voice suddenly came from outside the room.

"Thank you brother! No, Mr. Yuanmou won't wake up!"

Xie Yunlan's expression changed, and he quickly asked, "What's going on?"

"Even after Mr. Yuan Mou fell asleep last night, he couldn't wake up no matter how much he shouted this morning!" Huang Yaowu panted.

These days, Wei Chengzhi helped Huang Yaowu to deal with the investigation and search. They knew that Xie Yunlan and his party fought hard every night in their dreams. Get up and continue.

Wei Chengzhi came to the prefect's mansion on time every day to help, but today he didn't come, Huang Yaowu felt strange, sent someone to his house to take a look, and found Wei Chengzhi lying on the bed, breathing evenly and normally, but he couldn't wake up no matter what.

While speaking, a group of people came to Wei Chengzhi's residence.

Wei Chengzhi was lying on the bed, wrapped in cotton clothes, with his shoes and socks still on, candles were burning on the table all night, and there was still an unfinished statistical roster beside him. He seemed to be too tired when he was arranging the roster late at night, so he wanted to take a nap. But this sleep, but can never wake up again.

"He was trapped in the dream realm." Shen Fan glanced at it and said.

"He also entered that dream realm?" Xie Yunlan said immediately.

"En." Shen Fan nodded.

When they defended the city last night, Wei Chengzhi was probably also involved in this nightmare of massacring the city.

"Then why is he so sleepy?" Xie Yunlan asked puzzled.

So many people have been involved in this dream realm, but no one has ever been heard of falling asleep.

"Perhaps..." Shen Fan guessed, "He strayed into a deeper layer of the dream realm."

Xie Yunlan: "A deeper layer in the Dream Realm?"

"Dreams are multiple. Some people dream that they are dreaming in a dream. This is a dream within a dream." Shen Fan said, "And in a dream within a dream, people may still have dreams. If the cycle continues, the dream realm may change. As many as dozens, or even thousands of layers, like Mr. Mengze, his dream domain has three thousand layers, ordinary people don’t have so many, maybe only one or two layers.”

"The deeper the dream, the closer to the dreamer's heart, and at the same time, it is easier to get lost in it. The deep dream is often what the dreamer desires most, and you can't help but indulge in it, and then forget that you are in the dream. Dreaming." Shen Fan said, "It's like Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly, sometimes it's hard to tell whether it's a dream or reality."

Xie Yunlan: "What if you forget that you are dreaming?"

"He will never be able to wake up." Shen Fan said, "No matter how much stimulation there is from the outside world, even if his body dies, his consciousness will sink into a deep dream. For him, there is reality."

"Is there no way to wake him up?" Xie Yunlan frowned.

"Yes, you only need to go to the deep dream and tell him that he is dreaming to wake him up." Shen Fan looked at him and said, "But you can't."

Xie Yunlan was startled: "Why?"

"There are three ways to go to the deep dream." Shen Fan raised three fingers, "One, find the entrance connecting the two dreams."

Xie Yunlan: "What does this entrance look like?"

"Any shape." Shen Fan said, "This is determined by the consciousness of the dreamer. It may be a door, a window, or a teacup. It is almost impossible for you to guess what it is."

That's also much less likely to find it.Xie Yunlan gave up on this one and asked, "What about the other two methods?"

"Second, master the power of dream travel." Shen Fan said, "Only Meng Zejun can do it. He is the god of dreams, and he can freely come and go in the three thousand dream realms."

This is even more impossible. The God of Dreams has not noticed anything unusual here, not even a shadow.

Xie Yunlan said, "Is there another one?"

"Three, break the previous dream." Shen Fan said, "It is the dream of slaughtering the city. If you break it, you will naturally find the second dream."

"How to break it?" Xie Yunlan asked and realized something, he said, "Is it to defeat those Yuan Rong cavalry?"

"Yes." Shen Fan said, "You have to defeat them."

Xie Yunlan stopped talking.

win?It's hard not to lose the battle. The tie he had held on for six nights was broken last night. Xie Yunlan understood why they lost, because he could no longer give the people and soldiers the confidence to win, and the Yuan Rong cavalry repeatedly challenged the Xia people. Prove yourself strong, they are immortal and invincible, people's hearts are shaking, so they lost.

Yazhou was slaughtered again, and the fear in the hearts of the people deepened again. After falling asleep tonight, it will be more difficult than ever.

Moreover, he will no longer enter this dream...

As Shen Fan said, he couldn't do it.

But just give up?Abandon Wei Chengzhi and thousands of people in Yazhou?

Xie Yunlan couldn't do the same.

He was silent in the room for a long time, as long as thousands of years. After this long silence, he suddenly said: "Is there any way to return to this dream realm?"

Shen Fan didn't answer, just said: "You can't win."

"I want to try again." Xie Yunlan looked at him, "Shen Fan, help me again."

Shen Fan looked at him for a long time, and finally replied: "Okay."

that night.

The Yuan Rong iron cavalry came galloping from the end of the glacier again. The soldiers on the tower looked at the dark army, but they didn't have much fear in their hearts, only extremely exhausted and numb.

After so many days, they no longer feel that they can defeat these Yuanrong people, and naturally they don't have much morale to fight.But this dull atmosphere was broken by a news that was widely circulated in the city during the day.

Everyone was discussing, no matter where they were, they unconsciously glanced at the white figure standing beside Xie Yunlan.

This is the well-known envoy of the Dragon God, Master Shen Fan. The two monstrous flood dragons in the capital and Cangzhou that were causing harm to the common people were subdued by the master.

It was the first time they saw Shen Fan in this dream, and he had never told these soldiers about the identity of the milk cat on Xie Yunlan's chest.

This made Shen Fan's image extraordinarily mysterious and lofty in everyone's minds, and they only felt that he must have some great supernatural powers.

Especially during the daytime, Huang Yaowu went around telling people that there is no need to be afraid tonight. Master Shen Fan practiced for several days, and finally finished preparations today, and will bring the magic weapon into the dream to eliminate demons.

The magic weapon is also very strange to say, it is a dragon-shaped chariot carved out of wood, it looks very powerful, but the size is only the size of a palm, it is said to be a magic weapon, it is more like a toy.

But out of trust in Shen Fan's reputation, everyone really regarded this palm-sized wooden carving as a magic weapon. After falling asleep tonight, a dragon-shaped chariot appeared in the city, but it was no longer the size of a wooden carving. , it is really like a long dragon, almost filling the street.

The people who were looking for a place to hide couldn't help but stand by the road and watch. They saw that the chariot was divided into several sections, like the body of a long dragon. Each section of the chariot was filled with kerosene. Xie Yunlan and Shen Fan stood on the seat of the dragon head, everyone didn't know what they wanted to do, but Xie Yunlan looked confident, and Shen Fan, with his usual indifferent expression, in the eyes of the crowd at this moment, it seemed that everything was on the line. Indifference in mastery.

They seem to have some way to defeat the Yuan Rong Iron Cavalry.Everyone thought, and at the same time, a touch of hope rose unconsciously in their hearts. They were looking forward to relief, and they were looking forward to someone who could really break this endless cycle of nightmares.

They pinned their last hope on these two people.

With the sound of war drums, Yuanrong cavalry is about to approach the city.

Xie Yunlan didn't arrange for the soldiers to do any defense, but only said: "Open the city gate!"

The heavy city gate slowly opened under the rotation of the bearings, Xie Yunlan gave a "drive", and swung his whip to drive the horses pulling the dragon cart towards the endless glacier.

The dragon chariot was heavy and heavy, but the horses pulling the chariot seemed to have been endowed with some kind of supernatural power. They ran very fast. Xie Yunlan lit a torch and threw it into the carriage filled with kerosene. The kerosene ignited instantly. At the same time, the flame continued to spread backward along the lead wires connecting the carriages, and in an instant, the entire dragon carriage was ignited.

Looking down from the city tower, it looks like a burning fire dragon, rushing out of the city gate with indomitable ferocity, and the roar of the chariot rolling over the ground is the roar of this giant dragon.

Facing the invincible Yuan Rong iron cavalry ahead, Xie Yunlan did not dodge or dodge. He drove the dragon chariot like a sharp knife, blatantly piercing into the cavalry team.

The formation of the Yuan Rong Iron Cavalry was dispersed, and those who couldn't dodge it were directly run over by the dragon chariot, and they lost hundreds of troops in an instant.

However, after the dragon chariot passed by, the crushed armor was reassembled, Talgu reorganized his formation, and led the recovered Yuan Rong cavalry to chase towards the dragon chariot.

Xie Yunlan also turned the horse's head. He didn't run straight forward, and he didn't fight with them at the same time. He circled around for a while and started to run back again.Yuan Rong cavalry are not afraid of the flames on the dragon chariot, but the horses under them are afraid of fire, and wild animals are afraid of fire. They couldn't get close for a while, so Xie Yunlan could only let them take them around in circles on the ice.

The soldiers watched this scene from the tower, and they really didn't understand what Xie Yunlan and Shen Fan were doing.

The dragon chariot is drawn by horses. Sooner or later, these horses will not be able to run. Moreover, the kerosene in the carriage is limited. After burning, there will be nothing left. What's more, this dragon chariot does not seem to be very strong. While running, it leaked, and the kerosene dripped onto the ice, leaving a long fire line.

The ice and snow melted under the high temperature, and a crack appeared in the ice layer of the glacier that had been frozen for an unknown period of time.

Just a very small one, no one noticed.

But as Xie Yunlan continued to run in the same position, the kerosene dripping along the dragon cart also repeatedly burned the same ice layer, coupled with the constant trampling of thousands of horseshoes.

With a "crack", a huge crack visible to the naked eye appeared on the ice.

The Yuan Rong cavalry stopped suddenly. They seemed to have realized something. They gave up chasing Xie Yunlan and turned their heads to run to the place where the ice surface was intact.

But how could Xie Yunlan let them go, he turned his horse's head again, and rammed the dragon cart heavily into the cavalry team who wanted to escape.

This collision seemed to be the last straw that broke the camel's back. Huge spider web-like cracks instantly appeared on the already precarious ice surface, and then, amidst countless simultaneous "cracking" sounds, the entire ice surface cracked open.

Everyone on the ice, Yuan Rong cavalry, Xie Yunlan and Shen Fan, all fell into the bone-chilling icy lake.

The Yuan Rong cavalry cannot be killed by anything, and it stands to reason that they shouldn't be afraid of this icy lake.

But as soon as they fell into the lake, they seemed to be frozen, motionless, and fell straight to the bottom of the lake together with the dragon cart.

Xie Yunlan watched this scene, he bet right.

Why is there no water in the dream?What does this frozen river represent?He confirmed the answer at this moment.

This is the deepest fear in the dreamer's heart.

After all the Yuan Rong cavalry were frozen by the lake, there was a sudden suction force under the water surface, Xie Yunlan swam to Shen Fan's side, he held Shen Fan's hand tightly, and then the two of them were swept deeper into the dreamland by the turbulent current place.
