The scumbag brother is finally accepted

Xuanqiu spread insulating grass and Zhuxin flowers on the ground and stone walls to block the interference of the black mist, and then set up an array again. The black mist gradually disappeared, the red light went out, and everything returned to normal.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then went back separately, Su Tao saw that Xuanqiu didn't say a word, and didn't want to mention the things hidden in the cave, so he kept his mouth shut and didn't say anything more.The rest of the people left in a hurry with their own thoughts.

Seeing that everyone had disappeared, Shi Bai immediately walked to the entrance of the cave and made a trick casually, only to see the little beads that he threw in just now rolled out of the cave and stopped at his feet.Shi Bai bent down to pick up the small bead, looked into the cave twice, thought for a moment, then strode away.

Before he was far away, Shi Bai was thinking with his head down how to get the fire seed without anyone noticing, when suddenly he saw a figure walking slowly in the distance, walking slowly with a sword on his back.

"Hey, who am I supposed to be, it turns out to be Senior Brother Shibai, sorry for your disrespect."

Hearing the sound, Shi Bai stepped forward, looked at the visitor and said with a smile: "You don't need to be polite, Junior Brother Zhou, where are you going?"

This person is Su Tao's younger brother. In the past when Su Tao first came to Cangxuan, except for a dead Bei Hua, the rest was this Zhou junior.Although the three of them were not real siblings, they were already friends in need. After Beihua died, Su Tao was the only one left by his side, so he was naturally cherished as a real brother.

Junior Brother Zhou has always been used to being idle, not caring about worldly affairs, just traveling around the mountains and rivers, today he has time to hear that there will be a ceremony at the foot of the mountain, so he happened to go to join in the fun.

Shi Bai walked with him and sighed: "Young brother is really happy and happy, I am so envious."

"Where is there, brother has a heavy responsibility, as the saying goes, those who are capable work harder, and those who are incompetent like me have to sneak away."

Shi Bai smiled when he heard the sound, and the two chatted without saying a word.

The gossip is almost enough, and it's time to get to the point.

Shi Bai casually turned the emerald jade finger, glanced at Junior Brother Zhou beside him from the corner of his eye, then looked up at the sky, pretending to be relaxed and said: "It's better to have sunlight, there will be vitality."

Junior Brother Zhou followed his example and looked up at the sun, echoing, "Yeah, the past few days have been so dark and autumn has made people flustered, I always feel that the end is coming. Speaking of which, the Tianlihuo attracted by the Vulcan beast should be It's really amazing, thanks to Senior Brother Xuanqiu thinking of this method, otherwise it would really be over."

Shi Bai smiled, continued to walk forward, took his words and replied: "That's true, the sky is away from the fire and the practice of samadhi, and everything with appearance can be burned. But..."

Shi Bai hesitated to speak, looked at him twice, then walked slowly, and continued: "But this is not the strongest."

Junior brother Zhou heard the sound and followed him, he was a little curious, and asked: "This is not considered strong, so what is the strongest?"

Shi Bai twirled his finger in his hand, stared into the distance, was silent for a moment, then looked at him and said, "Do you know Donghuang Yanghuo?"

Junior brother Zhou was still curious just now, but when he heard the word "Donghuang Yanghuo", the relief on his face suddenly disappeared, and he turned into a look of embarrassment, surprise flashed by, but this change only lasted for a few seconds. Then he regained his composure before, waved his hands and said with a smile: "What is this? Junior brother has never heard of it, so could it be some kind of rare thing? It's more powerful than Tianlihuo?"

Although it was only a fleeting expression change, it was clearly captured by Shi Bai, and he could see everything at a glance.

It seems that this is also an insider.

Shi Bai cooperated with his attitude, laughed twice, and said: "Of course, this Donghuang Yanghuo is a hundred times more powerful than Tianlihuo. It's a pity that my junior has never heard of it. But it's nothing special to hear about it. I've seen it with my own eyes. It's so strange. I heard that Hei Li, the demon king who sealed the seal back then, relied on the power of Yanghuo, but at that time, something went wrong, which caused the Yanghuo to get out of control and scattered in all directions. The scenery in the middle."

Junior brother Zhou stood beside him, listening to him talking about things related to Donghuang Yanghuo in a flat tone, but his face was very solemn, and he buried his head not to be noticed by him, and said word by word: "What brother said really?"

Shi Bai clicked his tongue, pretending to be deep in thought, and said without confidence: "Actually, I'm not very sure, but I heard the old man in Guliang mention it by chance before, maybe I remembered it wrongly, so I'll just tell it as a joke today, junior brother. Forget about it."

Junior Brother Zhou still lowered his head, and said in a heavy tone, "Senior Brother Gu Liang is knowledgeable about the past and the present, since what he said is naturally true."

Shi Bai turned his fingers, glanced casually at the man with his head down from the corner of his eye, and continued, "Oh my memory, I almost forgot the business, those little disciples on Moxi Peak are still waiting for me to give them a lecture Well, junior brother, let’s have fun, senior brother won’t bother you, let’s say goodbye.”

"Brother, go slowly."

The two bid farewell in a hurry, and after Shi Bai disappeared, Junior Brother Zhou slowly raised his head, turned around and looked at the Shaoyang acupoint in the distance that had returned to its original shape.

Every word and every word of Beihua in the past is still in my ears. Even if his soul has returned to the fairy mountain today, those who stay behind will naturally keep his long-cherished wish, that's all.

Junior Brother Zhou didn't think too much, and quickly rushed to the Zhuoyang Cave, stood outside the cave and looked carefully for a moment, then walked straight forward.

In the cave, the formation set up by Xuanqiu has long been destroyed by Shi Bai, now Junior Brother Zhou enters in a majestic way, it is like entering a land without people.When he came to a secret door, Junior Brother Zhou sent his spiritual energy to the secret door, saw the door slowly opened, walked in cautiously, and he could see the glazed box.

Junior Brother Zhou opened the box, and it contained the fire seeds of the Four Suns, hidden in a glazed ball, shining brightly.After taking out the glazed ball, suddenly the ground trembled, the stone wall cracked, and white light flashed under the feet, did it touch the formation?

Junior brother Zhou didn't have time to think about it, he took the glazed ball to avoid the attack all the way, lost half his life and was seriously injured before escaping from the cave.However, as soon as his front foot stepped out of the hole, a group of blood bats suddenly emerged from the huge crack in the ground, biting and gnawing around him.

The blood bat swooped down, Junior Brother Zhou swung the sword in his hand and kept slashing, but he couldn't kill him enough. Seeing the blood, the blood bat went berserk, grabbed his head and bit his flesh.

The wailing sound was piercing, and Junior Brother Zhou was covered in blood, lying on the ground with his head covered to protect his bare skin.The tinder rolled down from his arms, and Shi Bai, who was standing far away, was about to step forward to pick it up, when suddenly there was a conversation behind him.

Junior brother Zhou's roar attracted Su Tao and others, Shi Bai couldn't show up, so he could only continue to hide in the clouds.In the group of blood bats, a young bat saw the tinder falling, rushed over regardless, and suddenly ran away with the tinder in its mouth.

Seeing the bloody bat fleeing, Shibai disappeared behind the clouds and mist, and wanted to go forward to find the fire.

Hearing the sound, Su Tao rushed over and saw Junior Brother Zhou lying unconscious on the ground covered in blood, he hurriedly helped him up and kept calling him, after checking the injury, he looked at the cave behind him, guessing in his heart that it should be the formation in the cave hurt.If you want to save him, you can only go to Xuanqiu, but he trespassed into the forbidden area, I don't know if Xuanqiu is willing to save him.

Su Tao thought about it for a while, and decided to ignore it. If he didn't save her, he would kneel outside the door and ask him to save her.

Bringing the injured Junior Brother Zhou to Xuanqiu's study, after listening to the ins and outs, Xuanqiu was furious, turned his back and said: "He trespassed on the forbidden area, he should be dealt with according to the rules of the sect."

Su Tao hugged him, stood behind Xuanqiu, and said earnestly, "He didn't do it on purpose, maybe there is something unspeakable, ask him when he wakes up, if you are still angry, punish him after he wakes up." good?"

Seeing that Xuanqiu was indifferent, Su Tao suddenly knelt on the ground, his face was already covered with tears, the person in his arms was motionless and even his breathing seemed to be stagnant.

"I beg you to save him. I promise it's only this time. When he wakes up, I will definitely punish him severely and teach him not to dare to trespass again. Please save him. I only have this little brother." Now, you can just take pity on me, okay?"

Hearing the sound, Xuanqiu turned around and saw her kneeling on the ground kowtowing to him, his heart clenched tightly, he stretched out his hand to help her, but he still stood on the spot after all.

"You go back, he will be punished as soon as he dies, and I will not pursue it anymore."

Su Tao was stunned on the spot when he heard the words, his head was blank, and he was tightly clutching the corner of the clothes of the person in his arms.What he meant was... Seriously?

At the time of life and death, with exactly the same attitude, exactly the same indifference, he is still the same as before. She thought he had a reason for it, but it turned out that it was all her wishful thinking. A cold-blooded person, there is no reason for it.

Su Tao stared at him firmly, with resentment accumulated over the years in her eyes, looking back on the past, everything was enough to make her feel disheartened, but she was only deceiving herself and others all the time.

Looking at Xuanqiu's indifferent back, Su Tao clenched his teeth and said slowly: "You have already killed one junior brother, do you want to kill another one?"

"you!"

Xuanqiu turned around suddenly, stared at Su Tao who was on the ground and said angrily: "Did I kill him or did he kill himself?"

Su Tao picked up Junior Brother Zhou, ignored Xuanqiu, made a decisive decision every step of the way, tears fell like rain, the false dream weaved by love for many years, now wake up from the dream, the original heart still hurts.

Xuanqiu looked at her gradually disappearing back, and wanted to open his mouth to stop her, but thousands of words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a word, and his heart was entwined with thousands of thoughts. For so many years, the relationship between the two has been endless. That's all.

The mess still needs to be cleaned up, Xuanqiu handles the matters on the mountain himself, and Shen Mengzhuang is responsible for the search for the fire.

Following the instructions of the magic detector, Shen Mengzhuang and others came to an ancient capital with their swords, and saw the city walls and alleys built of blue bricks and white stones, showing majesty.

Everyone approached the gate of the palace. On the vermilion lacquer gate, a black-bottomed gold-threaded nanmu plaque hangs high on the top, engraved with four large characters—"The Capital of Ultimate Bliss".

Push open the gate and walk in slowly, along the stone alleys with red walls and yellow tiles, carefully observe the surroundings.Suddenly, a blood bat flew over the head and rushed straight into an attic.

"Chase!"

Shen Mengzhuang led the rest of the people in pursuit of the blood bats all the way, and crossed the palace walls. There were gradually noises in his ears, and the door of the attic opened suddenly, and everyone rushed in.

A few people were aggressive and dignified just now, but now they were dumbfounded when they entered the door, really... did they go wrong?

It turns out that the God of Bliss is the number one gambling city in the dark realm, for the entertainment of the devil and dark realms, because it is protected by the power of the devil realm, and the government has nothing to do with it.After entering the Shendu, everything must be done according to the rules of the Shendu, no credit or fraud, and anyone who cheats will have a hand cut off on the spot.Repeat offenders will be punished with their lives and will not be held responsible.

Shen Mengzhuang was about to leave, but suddenly Zhou Bufan grabbed him and brought him back. He smiled excitedly, "Oh brother, don't rush away, everyone is here, how about we play?"

As he said this, two maids came up here immediately, carrying a wooden tray with dice and bamboo sticks on it, and Wu Nong said softly to the two: "Why don't you two come home after enjoying yourself?"

Seeing that they were sticking to Shen Mengzhuang deliberately, Lu Qingyuan pushed them away with his palm, pulled Shen Mengzhuang behind him, and complained as if swearing his sovereignty: "My senior brother doesn't play!"

Before Shen Mengzhuang could reply, Zhou Bufan dragged him towards a wooden table, Lu Qingyuan pulled his sleeves and followed behind him, shouting: "Brother, wait for me!"

Zhou Bufan stood in front of the table with a long-changed chip in his hand, pretending to look at the dice on the table and the appearance of the other people, and imitated them and shouted imposingly: " big big big!"

Shen Mengzhuang couldn't help shaking his head with his forehead, walked outside the attic and leaned against the railing.Lu Qingyuan pushed aside the crowd who were sticking to him, stood in front of him, opened his hands, and protected him behind him in a posture of an eagle catching a chick.

Occasionally, a passing maid took a look this way, and Lu Qingyuan frowned, twisted his face, and glared at him fiercely. The maid was so frightened that she lowered her head and dared not look any more, and hurried past with a wooden plate covering her face.

Seeing this, Shen Mengzhuang asked, "You seem to be afraid of them?"

Lu Qingyuan was still staring at the people in the distance, and said angrily: "They are always staring at senior brother, I don't like it."

Hearing the sound, Shen Mengzhuang couldn't help lowering his head and chuckling, put his hand on Lu Qingyuan's head, stroked it lightly, then put his hands on his shoulders, and turned him to look directly at him.

Lu Qingyuan still kept his hands outstretched, seeing Shen Mengzhuang looking at him and smiling, he was a little at a loss.The person in front of him turned his back to the moonlight, and his figure stood tall, like a snow mountain about to fall.The slightly drooping eyelashes trembled slightly, and the affectionate eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of smoky veil, which was extraordinarily elegant and unstained under the moonlight.The plain robe dances lightly in the breeze, and the cloud-like black hair is coated with a layer of soft light, elegant and calm, warm and bright, in the scenery of the moon, as independent as an ink painting.

If there is new snow and the first day of snow, the full moon is in the sky, the snow is dim, and the moon is bright, you are the only stunning beauty.

Lu Qingyuan looked at him, his heart couldn't help jumping twice, and he called out in a daze, "Senior brother?"

Shen Mengzhuang put one arm around his neck, and lifted his chin with the other hand, looking at each other, the moonlight was shining on Lu Qingyuan's cheeks, and his breath was as bright as the clear sky after the rain.

Lu Qingyuan was half a head lower than Shen Mengzhuang, so he could only look up at him at this moment.

Shen Mengzhuang pinched his chin, a clean and elegant face gradually approached, the breaths of the two intertwined, blended and mixed, looking at the dazed and childish young man in front of him, the bad idea of ​​wanting to tease him suddenly broke out at this moment, and he smiled evilly Said: "Just for you to see, do you like it?"

At this moment, Lu Qingyuan felt that his breathing was all blocked in his nose, and his heart was beating so hard that it seemed to rush out of his chest.His cheeks were also extremely hot, from the base of his ears to his neck, his whole face was so red that he could bleed.

The joke just now was still echoing in his ears, Lu Qingyuan suddenly lowered his head and didn't dare to look any more, he stared at his toes and picked his fingers, chewing that sentence over and over in his mouth, with a long aftertaste.

Brother...really...can you just show it to me?

Lu Qingyuan grabbed the hem of his clothes and fiddled with it absently, thinking over Shen Mengzhuang's words over and over again, feeling a little joy in his heart.

I don't care, it was the brother who said it himself, he said he only showed it to me, and the brother really only showed it to me.I'm so happy, the senior brother really said that he only showed it to me!

Seeing him lowering his head and sometimes laughing and shaking his head, Shen Mengzhuang thought it was funny too, and was about to reach out to touch his head, when suddenly there was a commotion in the attic, and then there was a crackling sound of tables, chairs and benches.

When Shen Mengzhuang walked in, he saw Zhou Bufan holding a person on the wooden table, sticking all the bamboo sticks in his hair, pouring dice into his mouth non-stop, and plausibly saying: "I told you to steal !"

"what happened?"

"Brother, he stole my money!"

The man also immediately retorted: "I didn't! Those bets were placed on the table and no name was written, who knew it was yours."

Seeing that he dared to talk back, Zhou Bufan was furious, and was about to rush forward to beat him up again, but was stopped by Shen Mengzhuang, who could only vent his anger with verbal curses.

"Little bastard, your father and I haven't been subjected to such anger. Can you steal my money?"

"Do you have good eyesight? Do you have a little conscience in life? If you can't afford it, then stop playing. You actually steal money. You don't want to lose it!"

"Little bastard, little tortoise, who are you stealing? How dare you steal your father and me? Didn't the dog's eyes see my father and I lost all my crotch? Do you have any conscience and steal my money? Are you not afraid of being struck by lightning?" ah!"

...

Shen Mengzhuang couldn't laugh or cry, no wonder this person was so angry, the reason for his daring.I lose my shit and take it out on others, I don't know who is more embarrassing.

"Okay, is it enough?"

Shen Mengzhuang straightened his clothes and said with a smile: "How old are you, you still know as much as them, and you are not afraid of being laughed at."

Zhou Bufan stood up straight, patted his collar and cuffs pretendingly, and said angrily: "Brother, there are so many people present, but you alone have no right to laugh at me."

Shen Mengzhuang was so angry that he punched him, and he rescued him with good intentions, but in exchange for a heartless taunt, this man's conscience is almost like feeding a dog.

Most of Zhou Bufan's anger subsided, pointing at the man, he said: "Little bastard, you are lucky today, my senior brother is not as sensible as you, next time I see Daddy, I will remember to take a detour, Daddy, I am a majestic flower, It's amazing!"

As soon as the voice fell, the door was suddenly closed, and the surrounding screens quickly turned to face the crowd.A few veils slowly fell, and a woman in red descended from the sky, heard her voice before seeing her appearance, and said:

"Your Excellency is actually Cangxuan Immortal Master, so welcome!"

Everyone looked at it one after another, and saw the woman in red sitting on the wicker chair, her long hair swaying to the ground, and her charming posture attracted the salivation and admiration of the people present.

This person is the lord of the capital of the gods——Qi Le, who possesses the beauty of the city and the country, but there are very few people who can see her true face, and what kind of strong wind is blowing today makes her appear in person.

Shen Mengzhuang took a step forward and reported his family name and the purpose of his trip.

Qi Le was fiddling with the red gauze in her hand, sometimes covering her face with a chuckle, sometimes staring at Shen Mengzhuang up and down.However, all of this was seen by Lu Qingyuan standing behind him. If Qi Le's gaze is like a spider's thread tightly entwining the prey, then Lu Qingyuan's gaze is like a sharp blade, gouging out the flesh of the defeated with one knife. , A thousand cuts can kill you.

"So that's the case. Speaking of which, the little girl really saw that bat."

"Where is it? If the girl can tell the truth, Shen will be very grateful."

Leaning on the rattan chair, Qi Le stared at Shen Mengzhuang, raised her head and chuckled, and said in a coquettish voice, "Brother Shen, don't worry, my sister doesn't have a good memory, I need some time to think about it slowly, why don't you think about it with my sister, maybe I can remember."

Lu Qingyuan's face was gloomy, and he was about to step forward but was stopped by Shen Mengzhuang.

I saw that Shen Mengzhuang was still looking at her gently, and said politely: "Whatever is the girl's request, Shen will certainly accompany her."

Qi Le immediately jumped down from the wicker chair when she heard the words, with smiles on her face and eyes, she stood in front of the table, casually admiring the dice in her hand, and said: "Bet against each other for ten rounds, if you lose one round, take off one piece, and take off first." whoever loses."

Shen Mengzhuang didn't change his face, and asked: "What about the winner? What about the loser?"

Qi Le sat on the table, rolling the dice in his hand, and said softly: "If brother Shen wins, sister will tell the truth. If brother Shen loses, she will stay in the capital of God forever, and be with my sister forever." good?"

Shen Mengzhuang was silent for a moment, and then responded readily: "Okay."

"Brother!"

Lu Qingyuan stood behind him, tugged at his sleeves, and pouted dissatisfied with his decision.

Shen Mengzhuang patted his head and comforted him: "Trust me."

At the beginning of the gamble, both of them were confident.You come and go, seven rounds have passed, Shen Mengzhuang lost four rounds and won three rounds.

It has reached the ninth round, and both of them only have a thin coat left on their bodies. If there is another round, the winner will be decided, and at the same time, one of them will be naked in front of the public.

Qi Le looked at Shen Mengzhuang's figure through his underwear, with the words "I'm very satisfied" written all over his face.The rest of the people whispered to each other, guessing who would win and who would lose.

At this time in the Demon Realm, after the stone demon reported the truth to the dark puppet, he received an order to search for the stolen fire immediately without delay.

The stone demon communicated with the rest of the blood bats along the way, wondering if they could sense each other, and save the effort of finding them slowly.

A group of blood bats grabbed the stone demon's arms and shoulders, flapping its wings in the air with difficulty.

The stone demon looked up at them and asked, "Oh, little bird, do you know where that stupid bird with the tinder is?"

The blood bat resting on the stone demon's head murmured leisurely: "Ji Gu Ji Gu, Gu Gu Ji Gu, Ji Gu Ji." (I don't know.)

The stone demon suddenly froze there as if petrified, what was the silly bird talking about, chattering.

"Speak slowly and say it again."

"Ji-gu-chi-gu, ji-gu-chi, ji-gu." (I don't know.)

"What do you mean you don't know? Aren't you the same kind? Where is that stupid bird? How could you not sense it?"

"Chi-chi-chi-chi-chi-chi-chi-chi-chi-chi-chi-chi-chi-chi-chi-chi-chi-chi." (The same kind does not have this function either.)

"You are so stupid, how did you stay by your lord's side before? Your lord has a good temper, so he didn't roast you."

"Gujijijiji, chichijichiji, gujijijijiji." (Your Majesty is not as fat as you.)

"Hey, I think you guys are short on roasts!"

……

In the attic, the tenth game was about to start, Qi Le suddenly waved his sleeves, and the screen turned, separating the crowd, and surrounding Shen Mengzhuang and himself in a world.

"Brother Shen, it's just you and me now, if you lose, I'll be the only one who will see the naked look."

Shen Mengzhuang remained calm, looked at the table, and said lightly: "Let's get started."

At the same time, Lu Qingyuan outside the screen was running around in a hurry, Zhou Bufan was not in a hurry, he grabbed the screen as if to join in the fun, trying to peek inside through the gap.

Although Ye Zhenzhen and Leng Shanlan didn't join in the fun, they just stood aside, unable to intervene or help.

Lu Qingyuan walked under the wall, knocked off the lampshade and looked at the candle in front of him, then picked it up with his sword and threw it under the gauze aside.In an instant, the fire spread throughout the room. Lu Qingyuan looked at the fire in front of him, and subconsciously took two steps back. However, he was worried about Shen Mengzhuang, so he still bite the bullet and continued to walk to the other candles until he threw all the candles on the ground , set the whole house on fire.

The fire was burning, thick smoke billowed, and everyone fled in all directions screaming.The two people inside the screen quickly stopped their movements when they heard the movement outside, and Shen Mengzhuang grabbed the clothes at the side and put them on and walked out immediately.

Qi Le was about to stand up and come out, when a person suddenly barged in, and then there was a sound of "咻", bamboo sticks were inserted into her wrists like a sharp sword, nailing her whole body to the wall.

The pain came as promised, and instantly spread from the wrist to the scalp. Qi Le opened her mouth and was about to scream loudly. Lu Qingyuan suddenly stepped forward to cover her mouth with one hand, and held a bamboo stick on her cheek with the other hand. Rubbing up and down.

Lu Qingyuan looked at her, his face was still harmless to humans and animals, he smiled heartily, his pupils reflected the blazing fire, so beautiful, he said softly: "Beautiful sister, not everyone can see my brother. "

As soon as he finished speaking, with a flick of his wrist, he inserted the bamboo stick straight into her eyes, and then picked it downwards, pulling out the entire eyeball.

Qi Le opened his mouth and sobbed in pain, but he covered his mouth, and swallowed all the small voices in his stomach, the blood and tears in his eyes wet the skirt of his clothes, and his whole face was already blurred.

Lu Qingyuan's face still had the pity I saw, with a clear and sweet smile, looked at the embarrassed Qi Le, and said slowly: "For example, if you accidentally see it, you will have to wrong the beautiful sister Eyes, a little punishment."

After saying that, he quickly pulled out the bamboo stick inserted into the eye, and blood gushed out in an instant.

Lu Qingyuan turned and left without looking back. When the figure disappeared, he waved the bamboo stick in his hand casually, and inserted it into Qi Le's throat the next moment, nailing her whole body to the wall, and disappeared into the sky full of fire. In it, together with the entire god, it was wiped out.

Amidst the flames, the blood bat quickly flew out along the corridor, fluttering its wings, as if deliberately avoiding the crowd, and sprinted all the way.

Everyone followed it closely, walking with their swords, passing through the mountains and mountains, and came to the top of the towering mountain, surrounded by clouds and mist, and jade pillars stood tall.Dim and misty, shadowy, golden light, the scene of purple air coming from the east is like a beautiful place in the world.

Surrounded by thick fog, everyone came to a palace gate. A plaque inlaid with glass and jade hung high above it, engraved with four large characters - "Returning to Dreamland".
