It was nighttime at the moment, and the small village was quiet.
After Zhang Chu and the others stopped the car, they directly got out of the car.
“Let’s go, to the talisman station.”Zhang Chu said.
The three of them were all people with cultivation, so even if the weather was bad, even if it was night, they were not afraid of the mountain roads.
Moreover, the Hot Pot’s cultivation was also good, so with it around, there was even less to fear.
However, just as the three people wanted to go up the mountain, at the entrance of the village, an old man appeared.
The old man shouted towards the three Zhang Chu, “Hey, you three, and that dog, what are you doing sneaking around?”
Zhang Chu’s three people froze for a moment, this small village, there was actually someone awake.
“Is that thing deliberately waking up another person?”Zhang Chu thought in his heart.
Of course, Zhang Chu understood that these people who had been awakened were also out of their own control, and most of them were actually very simple and kind, so Zhang Chu replied, “Elderly man, we are just passersby, going up the mountain.”
“Going to the talisman station?”The old man asked Zhang Chu.
Zhang Chu was not surprised, after all, there was a talisman station nearby, the local old people must know about it.
So Zhang Chu said, “Yes, to the talisman station.”
“What’s the point of going to the talisman station in such a dark day, I see that you guys look like capable people, you must be here for some strange things, right?”As the old man said that, he walked towards Zhang Chu’s few people.
Zhang Chu was surprised, he suddenly realised that this old man was a little different from the average sleeping villager.
So Zhang Chu stood still and asked the old man, “Old man, do you know something?”
“I know, I know, all the people in the dozens of miles around our area, ah, have all slept over, it’s just me, I can’t sleep, I’m all alone, I’m excluded from the outside.”
“Eh?”Zhang Chu’s three people’s hearts stirred, sure enough, this old man knew something that no one else knew.
The old man, on the other hand, waved his hand at the three people, “Come to my house to warm up, drink some wine, accompany me for a chat, and then go up the mountain tomorrow.”
“Tonight, ah, the snow will seal the mountain, I’m afraid you won’t be able to find your way.”
“That’s fine.”Zhang Chu said.
Just in time, one could find someone who was familiar with the local situation and ask what was going on.
Soon, the three of Zhang Chu brought the hot pot and arrived at this old man’s house.
This small village was very small, just twenty or so families, and the old man’s house was at the west end of the village, and after entering the door, it was indeed very warm inside, with a cooker and a very strong fire.
In the inner room, there was a burst of snoring.
“Someone is asleep?”Zhang Chu asked.
At this time, the old man said, “Don’t mind him, that’s my stupid son, he was kicked by a cow when he was young and his brain was damaged, it’s a blessing to be able to sleep day in and day out now.”
Zhang Chu could see that the old man was a widower’s life, it is estimated that when he was young, his wife ran away with someone, leaving only a stupid son to depend on him.
At this time, the old man got a bottle of wine and filled it up for Zhang Chu, then asked the two girls, “Do you drink? I only have white wine, but not that kind of red wine or anything.”
Bai Diem shook his head.
Night Diem directly took a glass himself, “Fill it up fill it up, look down on who.”
The hot pot also drooped its tongue, “I’ll drink too.”
The old man, on the other hand, cut up some more pork, peanuts and whatnot and placed them on the small table, a few people temporarily set up a table.
“What is the old man’s name?”Zhang Chu asked.
The old man said, “My surname is Bao, Bao Qingtian’s Bao, you can just call me Old Bao, everyone in the village calls me that.”
“I am Zhang Chu.”Zhang Chu said.
Old Bao raised his cup, “Little Zhang ah, come, have a drink.”
Zhang Chu and Night Diem drank a cup, and only then did Old Bao say, “It’s obvious from a glance that you guys aren’t ordinary people, you must have come here for the matter of the ten miles and eight villages, where a lot of people fell asleep, right?”
Zhang Chu nodded, “Indeed.”
Old Bao spoke, “I’ll tell you, you don’t really need to care about this matter.”
“Don’t bother? What does that mean?”Zhang Chu asked Old Bao.
Old Bag ate a mouthful of food, then said, “It’s not that they can’t wake up, it’s that none of them are willing to wake up, they’re all lost in their own dreams.”
“Huh?”Zhang Chu’s eyes lit up, “Listening to you, you woke up from a dream?”
Old Bag nodded, “Yes, I woke up from a dream.”
Zhang Chu and the three of them were all interested at once.
At this time, Night Diem said, “Can you tell us what exactly is going on?”
At this time, Old Bao said, “It’s actually very simple, that afternoon, I suddenly felt very sleepy and fell asleep on the spot.”
“After falling asleep, I directly entered a dream world, that dream world ah, not solid, as soon as I entered, I knew that I was dreaming.”
“It was a lucid dream!”Zhang Chu said.
In fact, many people might have this feeling when they dream.
Being able to clearly know that they were dreaming, and even being able to clearly control their dreams, not only being able to control what they wanted to do, but even being able to control how the people, or things, in the dream would develop.
At this time, Lao Bao continued, “Yes, it is very clear that I am dreaming, in my dream, there came a cat, a black cat, that cat’s eyes, ah, not like a cat’s eyes, rather like a human eye.”
Zhang Chu’s heart jumped, the thing in Old Bao’s dream, wasn’t it the cat he saw.
At this moment, all three of Zhang Chu’s people listened carefully.
For his part, Old Bao said, “That cat told me that it can help me weave a dream, and in the dream, I can have whatever I want.”
“What do you want?”Zhang Chu asked.
At this time, Old Bao said, “I told it that I want to be an emperor, I want a lot of women, and I want to be with those women and have a bunch of sons.”
“Then, the dream came true, in that dream ah, I really became the emperor, and I could also choose a consort, and it felt like I was about to live like a god.”
“But, when I wanted to touch my first consort, I suddenly thought of something, and I suddenly felt that I couldn’t continue in this dream, and I had to wake up, so, I woke up.”
Zhang Chu listened with an odd expression, “If you want to wake up, you can wake up?”
“Yeah, even though that dream was very real, I woke up when I wanted to.”The old man said.
“Then what exactly did you think of that you suddenly decided to wake up?”Zhang Chu asked.
The old man said, “Son, I suddenly thought of my son, if I keep dreaming and never wake up, then what will my son do yo.”
“So, I woke up.”
Zhang Chu frowned.
Then Zhang Chu shook his head, “No, Old Bag, if you can wake up in a dream, others may not necessarily be able to wake up in a dream.”
In fact, there were some people that were unable to lucid dream.
Zhang Chu felt even more that Lao Bao’s situation was actually an accident, and that the demon that controlled everyone’s sleep should not be so kind as to allow people to wake up when they wanted to.
For his part, Old Bao said, “Actually, my son also woke up once halfway through, and I even chatted with him.”
“I told him that as long as he’s not hungry, he can keep dreaming about getting a daughter-in-law, and anyway, in this life, he won’t be able to get a daughter-in-law, so it’s good to let him go and dream about it.”
“It can still be like this?”Zhang Chu was surprised.
Old Bao then said, “Ai, unfortunately, I want to fall asleep again, find that cat, and want to dream of being an emperor again, but I can’t sleep.”
Zhang Chu directly used his Heart Passage, wanting to see if the old man was telling the truth, or if he was trying to lure himself to drop his guard.
As a result, the old man was telling the truth, and he truly wanted to go back to sleep.
However, the old man was as if he was a rat, and he couldn’t sleep anymore.
“Strange, wanting to wake up can wake up, this Dream Demon, what exactly does it want to do?”Zhang Chu’s heart was filled with doubts.
