hand, ran towards the brightly lit long street.

Perhaps the sacrifice to the mountain gods has not yet ended, and the market this night is still filled with red lanterns, stalls stand on both sides, and the long street is full of tourists.

In such a prosperous and prosperous scene, Xiao Xiao and Ruan Mudeng kept their eyes on each other, holding hands, quickly passed through the crowd, and ran forward.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the rain fell on his body, revealing the unique coolness at night in the mountains, but Ruan Mudeng only felt that his palms were hot, his heart was beating like a drum, and his blood was surging, and he didn't feel cold at all.

"Hey! Xiaoyou! Xiaoyou! Wait a minute, Xiaoyou!!"

He ran for a while, and vaguely heard someone shouting in their direction, calling his master's last name.Because the voice was very old, probably because it was an elderly man, Ruan Mudeng was distracted and looked back in the direction of the voice, although he was only pretending to be alone.

There was a familiar stall at the corner of the street, and an old man wearing a mask was watching the stall. It was the old man surnamed Tao who sold them a bunch of honey-soaked peaches last night. Note that it seems to want them to pass.

"……and many more."

Ruan Mudeng stopped in his tracks, grabbed Xiao Xiao with his backhand, and pointed in the direction of Tao Lao, "The old man seems to be looking for you."

"Well."

Xiao Xiao nodded, and trotted all the way with the young man on her arm, and came to the old man's stall.

"Hey, little friend Xiao, it's a good thing you're here, otherwise I don't know how to send this thank you gift!"

Even through a mask, the two could still hear the smile in Tao Weng's tone. The old man rummaged behind the stall for a while, and found a strip-shaped narrow brocade box, opened it and handed it to Ruan Mu. In front of the lamp, "A small gift, thank you little friend for helping me unblock the mountain spring, please accept it."

Ruan Mudeng was taken aback for a moment, then instinctively looked at Xiao Xiao, then looked down at the brocade box.

Inside the box was a wooden hairpin, brownish red in color, simple in shape, clean and clean without any decoration, only the cloud pattern was carved on the head of the hairpin, which looked very delicate and generous.

"Take it."

Xiao Xiao turned her head, a pair of smiling phoenix eyes were covered by a mask, the amber eyes sparkled, "Old Tao made this by himself."

Ruan Mudeng heard his master said the same thing, so he didn't refuse anymore, took the brocade box with the hairpins in it, and put it carefully into his bosom.

Xiao Xiao seemed to be in a hurry to leave. Seeing that the apprentice had received the gift, she took his hand again, said goodbye to Tao Weng, then turned around and ran forward again.

After running for more than ten steps, the two of them could still hear the old man surnamed Tao shouting loudly to them: "You two, if you are destined, you must come and try my fresh peaches next year!"

Chapter 57, Seven, Youxian 09

Ruan Mudeng was dragged all the way by Xiao Xiao, even crossing the entire long street, until he ran to a residential area at the entrance of the street.

Xiao Xiao led him into a small alley, stuffed him into a small courtyard with white walls and blue tiles, and then got into the house, and when the door was closed, she turned and pressed her apprentice on the door. As soon as he lifted it, he kissed him without saying a word.

They ran all the way, and their bodies were drenched by the rain. Their clothes, hair, and faces were all wet with water, but at this moment, neither of them cared about these things. The moment their lips touched, the familiar throbbing The movement has already rushed into the brain like an electric current, burning out all reason and restraint, and can only feel the burning love of the other party...

……

…………

This is the most heart-shattering experience Ruan Mudeng has ever experienced in his barren and ascetic life.

He has long forgotten that this is a dream. In the extreme that he has never felt before, he just wants to rub the person he loves into his flesh and bones, and then merge into one, and they will never be separated forever...

"... Mu Deng... Ruan Mu Deng!"

The young man was still immersed in bliss, but suddenly his cheeks hurt, as if being clamped and pulled by two big pliers, he was shocked suddenly, and opened his eyes reflexively.

"If you don't wake up again, I'm going to pour a basin of cold water on you."

Ruan Mudeng saw that Xiao Xiao was pinching his cheeks with one hand, and pulling them fiercely to the two sides. He didn't show any mercy at all, and his hands were so strong that the young man's cheeks were sore. Fingerprints left.

"... Xiao... Xiao..."

The master who was allowed to be rubbed and played with by him a few seconds ago is now standing beside his bed with a well-dressed appearance and a serious expression. Unable to recover for a while, he just wriggled his lips and let out a cry as thin as a gnat.

"You were played a prank by that little bastard Shi Yi."

Xiao Xiao didn't care about her apprentice's stupefied look, she held one of Ruan Mudeng's arms with one hand, and pulled him up with a clever effort.

"This... Xiao Xiao!"

Ruan Mudeng's wandering three souls and seven souls finally returned to their positions. At this moment, he noticed the unusual slippery touch somewhere in his trousers. He felt startled and frightened. Fortunately, there was a quilt blocking it. That's why he didn't lose the little bit of face left in front of his master.

"Look, this is it."

Xiao Xiao pointed to the porcelain pillow where Ruan Mudeng just fell asleep.

It's still dark, and I don't know what time it is.There is an oil lamp on the tall table next to the bed, which is the only light in the room now.

Because this Taoist temple is not connected to electricity, it looks like an antique from the period of the Republic of China, and the layout inside is so antique that it can be used to directly shoot period dramas, Ruan Mudeng has never realized that the bed is an old-fashioned porcelain pillow It's not that the duck down pillow has any sense of disobedience.But at this moment, Xiao Xiao told him that this ordinary-looking porcelain pillow with blue and white background, painted with mountains and flowing water, turned out to be a prank specially played by that little hedgehog named Shi Yi.

"This is the legendary 'Youxian Pillow', have you heard of it?"

Ruan Mudeng nodded in confusion, then shook his head again.

Of course he has heard of the name "Youxian Pillow".

Wang Renyu's art "Kaiyuan Tianbao Legacy" has a saying: "The Kucha Kingdom entered a pillow, its color is like agate, warm as jade, and the production is very simple.Sleeping on the pillow, the ten continents, three islands, four seas, and five lakes can all be seen in dreams, and the emperor named it Youxian pillow.

However, he never imagined that this legendary baby who could see the world would be so lightly and delicately laid on his pillow for two nights.

"This pillow, of course, is not the one presented by the Kucha Kingdom. It was just remade by some powerful magician from some dynasty and generation, imitating the principle of Youxian Pillow. This thing is my master, that is, your master. The collection from that year, and later I inherited his broken Taoism, have been stored together in the warehouse for many years. I don’t know where it was dug out by Shi Yi, and it was put in your room to let you have a 'sweet dream'."

Ruan Mudeng's face was flushed, but fortunately the room was not well lit, and his unnatural flush was not conspicuous in the dim and flickering candlelight.

He tried to argue in a panic, but his voice sounded a little trembling, obviously lacking confidence: "I, I was dreaming...but..."

"Well, I understand."

Xiao Xiao waved her hands indifferently, and didn't intend to ask the young man what the dream was, but continued to explain with a smile: "Sleeping on this pillow, you can indeed travel across rivers and rivers in your dreams, and experience a magical experience like a fairy , but if you sleep for a long time, you will become more addicted every night, and gradually you will not be able to distinguish the boundary between reality and dreams."

"I……"

Ruan Mudeng was too ashamed to look at Xiao Xiao's face, clutching the quilt tightly with both hands, not knowing what to say.

"Okay, it's alright."

Xiao Xiao stretched out her hand and gently rubbed the young man's sweaty hair.

"Looking at your behavior during the day today, I know there must be something wrong. But you have been by my side all the time, and I didn't notice what I encountered? Look at Xiao Shiyi's guilty conscience this morning. Looks like, after holding him for a trial, I knew that this little brat wanted to play tricks on you just because you became my apprentice, so he secretly took the Youxian pillow out of the storeroom and put it in your room."

"But……"

Ruan Mudeng bit his lips subconsciously, "But if it's just a dream, then why..."

He wanted to ask why the things in his dreams overlapped with reality, the long street, night market, ghost face, streamer... and the jiaojiao knife, Jida, Tao Weng... and his master who was so real in his dream ...was it really all just a dream?

"In the past, Zhuang Zhou's dream was a butterfly, and the butterfly was so vivid. He said that he was suitable for him, and he didn't know Zhou Ye. Suddenly, he realized that he was Zhou Ye. I didn't know that Zhou's dream was a butterfly, and the butterfly's dream was Zhou Yu?"

Xiao Xiao suddenly recited a passage from "Zhuangzi Equality of Things", and winked at her apprentice.

"So, don't care whether you are the person who dreamed of the butterfly or the butterfly of the dreamer, no matter what you experienced in the dream, as long as it is a wonderful journey."

"Um……"

In the flickering lights, Ruan Mudeng looked at Xiao Xiao's smiling eyes, and nodded lightly and slowly.

Vaguely, the young man felt that his master might have noticed something in the dark, but he deliberately didn't point it out, didn't tell the truth, and didn't ask in detail, so that everything remained as it is now, and he can continue to be the respected teacher. Dao's obedient apprentice, and the other party is still the good teacher who loves and spoils him.

"Okay, it's still early, you go to bed."

Xiao Xiao poked the tip of Ruan Mudeng's nose with her fingers, then took out a pillow with cassia seeds from the side cabinet, and handed it to the little disciple who was still staring blankly at him.

"However, seeing how you just wished you could sleep forever
