【Memories in the sealed dream】

Gradually regaining consciousness, Li Huan felt that the whole world was burning in a half-dream and half-awake state.

The hot air penetrates into the skin, with a terrifying temperature that can dry the blood, every breath seems to be mixed with sparks, burning and aching the fragile trachea and lungs - and the condensed soul tea will repel all negative emotions that may be in the soul Isolated and without fear, he felt as if an extremely important part of his heart had been hollowed out. No matter how painful his body was, it still beat smoothly at a comfortable pace.

Li Huan opened his eyes, and his scattered eyes slowly gathered together. The flame that made the world red was projected on the bottom of his slightly absent-minded eyes, shaking slightly with the water light smoked by the heat wave.

"This is...the first dream?"

His chaotic brain regained clarity, he recalled Yan Mo's previous reminder, and subconsciously looked around.

The first dream was in the middle of the night, with heavy clouds covering the stars and the moon, and the rain was pouring down, and the raging fire did not intend to be extinguished, on the contrary, it burned more and more vigorously during the rainstorm.

The two-story house in front of me only had a frame that was scorched red, and the rainwater was transpired into hot mist. There was no sound of living things in the surroundings, only the crackling sound of the flames licking the building.

The first dream belongs to the original owner himself, but——Li Huan frowned, and couldn't remember when he had such a dream at all.

At this moment, a deep beast roar came from a distance, and the monster beast's coercion swept over.

Li Huan recognized the voice, and suddenly turned to look at the huge monster that appeared from the night.

"Brother?" He blurted out subconsciously.

The monster Xuan Chi ignored it, its icy blue scales dissipated the cold air, stepped on its limbs, and immediately sprayed an extremely cold icy flame towards the building.

When Bing Yan met the Karmic Fire, which is inextinguishable in water, the water mist filled the sky with a bang.

Li Huan was caught off guard by the air wave and flew into the courtyard wall in embarrassment. After rolling to the ground, he turned over and coughed out a mouthful of sweet blood. He felt no pain at all. He propped himself up and looked at the monster Xuan Chi who was confronting Lie Yan again. .

The slightly sluggish flame suddenly climbed up several feet after being impacted by the ice flame, and the center of the flame turned green, like a demon fire from hell crawling out of the ground.

An ominous breath was about to come out, and Xuan Chi's demon pupils narrowed tightly, constantly guarding against the increasingly strange flames.Suddenly, the sound of a bird's cry sounded, and an afterimage of a bird suddenly floated in the heavy firelight.Fear appeared on Xuan Chi's face, and he took a step back subconsciously.

The image became clearer and clearer. The giant bird was covered with blue-green flames and its tail feathers were flowing. It seemed to wake up in the flames, its wings spread, and it flew into the air in an instant.The sharp cry shook the sky thoroughly, and the firebird was like a star piercing the sky, turning around in the rainstorm, with fierce claws, and volleying towards the Xuanchi on the ground.

Xuan Chi is inferior to the monster rank, and cannot move at all under the pressure of the high-rank monster beast.The firebird clamped Xuanzhi's back and turned it over to the ground. The bird's claws hooked straight into the flesh, and the flesh and blood collapsed in an instant. It raised its slender neck and screamed menacingly towards the sky. Pecked at Xuan Chi's left eye.

Li Huan's heart rose to his throat in an instant, and he couldn't help shouting: "Brother, be careful!"

In the blink of an eye, another gust of demonic force came from behind, followed by Yang Yan.The fire bird screamed in pain from being burned, had to stop attacking, raised the bird and beast to look at the uninvited guest who intervened in the battle.

The man's familiar evil spirit came from behind him, making his hair tremble slightly. Li Huan's five senses were lost, and he only felt his heart beat a lot faster.

A huge animal claw landed beside him, and ashes rose up. Li Huan reached out to touch it tremblingly, and called softly: "Teacher..." His hand pierced through the body of the nine-tailed demon fox, and he grasped it in the middle of the void. Li Huan lowered his eyelashes, a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and sighed, "It really is a dream..."

The next moment, the earth trembled, and the nine-tailed demon fox opened its huge mouth and bit the fire bird's neck. The fire bird's claws penetrated into its back and tore a large piece of flesh. , mixed with the stagnant water to dye the land under Li Huan's feet red.

"Chi Xiu!" The nine-tailed demon fox turned its head and yelled at Xuan Chi, "Go save that child!"

After receiving the order, Xuan Chi, who was seriously injured, struggled to get up, and transformed back into a human form.Shen Chixiu clutched his bloody shoulders tightly, and rushed into the flames without hesitation.

"child……"

Li Huan suddenly realized something and was about to follow immediately.

Just at this time, a group of white animal shadows floated towards them, blocking the way with a horizontal block.

This dream is all a virtual image, and it stands to reason that no one should be able to detect his existence. Li Huan was shocked and at the same time pulled out the Tang knife, flipped his wrist and immediately made a slashing movement, but stopped suddenly after seeing the shadow of the beast clearly. .

"Ali?"

It was a nine-tailed demon fox with a moon-white light all over its body. It stared quietly into Li Huan's eyes. The narrow vertical pupils at the bottom of the green pupils tightened slightly. Seeing the fox open its sharp mouth, it said in Qi Jingyu's voice, "I am the third soul of Nine Tails left in your body."

"Teacher..." Li Huan quickly walked to the fox, and looked at the two ancient monsters who were fighting fiercely not far away with lingering fear, "Could it be a dream?"

The nine-tailed soul followed his gaze, and there was a trace of cool indifference in the dark green fox eyes, and said lightly: "As you think, this is not a dream, but it was sealed by the master 17 years ago. A memory in a dream."

Li Huan took a deep breath and said, "Is it me, brother, to save the child?"

"Hmm." Nine-tailed soul said, "The damage in this dream is real, even if you have a phoenix soul now, with a human body, a mortal body will still be burned by Qingluan's demon fire, you just have to go It can increase unnecessary damage, and is not good for the physical body in reality."

Li Huan pursed his lips: "What happened that day?"

"As you can see, the human baby couldn't suppress the mature phoenix soul. It defeated the host and left the body out of control, killing everyone here."

"You said...all of them?"

"Yes," the nine-tailed soul turned to look at him, "including you."

Li Huan was shocked for a moment, and suddenly understood the reason why the teacher sealed this memory.

The nine-tailed soul gently licked the back of his hand, and continued: "When you were less than one year old, you were killed by the demon soul in your body once. The master asked Chi Xiu to rescue the baby's body and put the subdued phoenix soul back into your body. In your body, you can be resurrected with the help of the special ability of the phoenix family."

Speaking of which, it stopped abruptly, hesitated for a while, and then added softly: "I think the master no longer wants to hide you. At that time, he chose to resurrect you not because he couldn't bear it, but because if there is no container parasitism, the out-of-control phoenix The soul will find its next host after its energy is exhausted, and it will take hundreds of years to find it again."

Li Huan raised the corners of his mouth, showing a stiff smile: "So in order to prevent the Phoenix Soul from getting out of control again, the teacher reused me as a container, and left a strand of soul to suppress the growth of Phoenix Soul, let it keep the young one alone. Bird form?"

"This point is indeed that the master is sorry for you." Nine-tailed soul said.

"Don't say that." Li Huan laughed a little self-deprecatingly, "If you have a choice, I think it's better to be alive."

The nine-tailed soul said: "The master agreed to Mo Luo to send you to sleep, I am afraid it is to let you personally understand what happened that year. Even if I have been in the depths of your soul, I can feel the pain in his heart during this period... It raised its animal head and gently rubbed Li Huan's side face, "Young master, you can blame him or hate him, but don't deny that he is kind to you. In the past 17 years, the master used me to be a good person at first. In order to keep the Phoenix Soul, but now it is to save your life, he... really loved you."

Li Huan felt empty in his heart, and was isolated from negative perceptions. He didn't know how he should react after hearing these words, but when he lowered his head, tears fell down his face.

"Shall I take you out?" Nine-tailed soul said.

Li Huan nodded: "Lead the way."

The fighting behind him was still going on, with dark red demon blood under his feet, Li Huan turned his head to look at the scarred nine-tailed demon fox, and then left the dream that Qi Jingyu had left for him with that wisp of soul.

The farther you go, the lighter the surrounding scenery becomes. When everything turns into pure white, the nine-tailed ghost stops and says to Li Huan, "Going forward will no longer be your dream. I can't follow."

"Where is that?" Li Huan was puzzled.

"It is the second layer of dreams constructed by Nightmare, which is independent of the dreams of hundreds of millions of living beings." Nine-tailed soul said, "You should pay attention to reunite with your companions as soon as possible, and be careful with the rest."

Li Huan stroked its furry head and said, "It's really not safe for the teacher to have only one soul in his body. I have to return you to him as soon as possible."

The nine-tailed soul said: "It's fine if you don't hate him, go quickly."

"But...there's nothing here?" While talking, Li Huan took a step forward hesitantly.

That step seemed to have crossed some kind of barrier invisible to the naked eye. The white light on the edge of the dream receded completely, and the thick colors seemed to drop from the sky like ink dripping into clear water, gradually outlining the scenery of a rainy lane in the middle of the night.

After a while, the scene transition ends.

Li Huan stood in a dark alley, and there was no sign of Nine-Tails Separation Soul behind him.The thin raindrops hit his face with a slight itchy feeling, which was completely different from the real touch of the previous dream.Although it was also raining in the previous dream, he could only feel the coldness of the water vapor, but his body was not wet at all.

And the feeling that this dream brings to Li Huan is completely the same as reality.

The entire alley was no more than three meters wide, with closed wooden doors on both sides.

It was too quiet nearby, Li Huan subconsciously restrained his breath, approached the nearest door and listened carefully, it was quiet behind it, he didn't notice any living things, but his intuition told him that there must be ghosts in this place.

Sure enough, as if responding to that intuition, a long and strange rattling sound suddenly sounded in the darkness at the end of the alley, like the sound of someone pushing a sharp weapon against a brick wall and moving forward as they walked.

The sound came from far to near, accompanied by a heavy panting. Li Huan's heart suddenly turned cold, and the hairs on his back stood up. He shook the Tang knife in his hand, hesitated for a second, and turned decisively to the opposite direction. run away.

Something in the darkness seemed to be aware of it, and the rattling sound became more and more urgent, following closely like a shadow.

Li Huan didn't dare to turn around and ran all the way. Suddenly, a door on the right was opened from the inside. Before Li Huan had time to react, a hand behind the door clasped his arm tightly and pulled him in. .

"punishment--?!"

The unspoken words came to an abrupt end under the man's palm. Xing Yi pressed the man against the wall, sealed Li Huan's mouth and nose with one hand, and raised the other hand in the air, using the lead to control the puppet to continue fleeing along the narrow alley. .In less than a minute, the monster walked outside the door. There was no window in this room, and Li Huan couldn't see the other person's appearance clearly. He could only tell from the sound of his breathing that the monster seemed very hungry...

When the monster walked away, Xing Yi maintained the posture of the two of them at this time, moved his palm to the back of someone's head, inserted his five fingers into the hair and clasped it slightly. A few seconds, and then kissed roughly.

Trapped between the man's body and the wall, Li Huan was still in shock and didn't understand the situation. After being kissed like this, he quickly calmed down. He stretched out his hand to grab the man's back, and kissed back even more eagerly.

The fox and mouse silently huddled in the corner of the room sighed, and closed their eyes tacitly.

After the kiss was over, the two of them couldn't hold back when their lips parted. Xing Yi licked the body fluid overflowing from the corner of Li Huan's mouth, and said in a low voice, "Why did you take so long to come? Is your dream very long?"

The man's breathing was slightly heavy, and the deliberately lowered voice sounded particularly sexy. Li Huan felt that he was excited at the wrong time, but it was hard to control the desire to do something.He raised his right leg and hooked Xing Yi's waist from the side, and tightened the arm lying behind the opponent's back. In an instant, the two bodies were close together, and the reacting parts of the abdomen were lightly pressed against each other.

The body of Mr. Subduing Demon Master trembled, he couldn't help taking a deep breath, thinking that this kid is really getting more and more promiscuous, it doesn't matter when and where, if there are not two outsiders behind him, and he doesn't know when he will be outside the door The monster that came back, he really wanted to kill this evildoer on the spot!

"It's a long story, I'll tell you when I go back." Li Huan swallowed his saliva, and his beautiful peach blossom eyes curled up with a smile, "What's outside?"

Xing Yi said: "The fox spirit said that it was the gatekeeper monster created by Nightmare, and it was her eyeliner scattered in the double dream. It is not difficult to deal with, but being discovered by these monsters is tantamount to exposing us to Nightmare, so Still have to be careful."

Li Huan nodded thoughtfully, and said, "If you still don't let go, when will you hug me?"

"I don't want to let it go," Xing Yi lowered his head and whispered in his ear, "I'm afraid you're too tired to do anything these two days. I feel like you're going to be suffocated."

"Really? I think you have good skills in helping me solve those two times. Why can't you do it yourself?" The tip of his tongue lightly brushed the sensitive skin behind the other's ear, feeling the man's breathing disordered, Li Huan smiled like Suspicious with malicious intentions, playing with taste, "Let me see."

After all, the hand that was flexible like a snake slid down and held the slightly pulsating one through the trousers without hesitation. Press it in a circle, then hold the whole root, and knead it lightly and heavily.

"It's okay," someone said shamelessly, "it feels good to the touch."

Xing Yi: "..."

There are still outsiders present.

Mr. Demon Subduing Master, who was pinned down, didn't expect this guy to be able to make such a fuss with the help of a black light. Originally, it was just a casual teasing verbally. Someone will be blatantly molested back with very rogue actions.

What a mess...

Mr. Demon Subduing Master thought unhappily.
