Dream Maker [Rebirth]

At the end of the passage on the right is a study room, with bookshelves standing against the walls on both sides, and directly opposite is a long case, behind which there is a wooden frame like a screen, on which a roll of sheepskin is hung horizontally.

Zhong Li Bu Fu turned the wheelchair to the front of the frame, raised his hand and pulled the rope on the side to put down the sheepskin, and the scroll unfolded, and Lu Ci recognized it as a complete map of the world at a glance.

Lu Ci immediately understood that the senior brother was using the map to let him understand the general changes in the ten years after his death, so he hurried forward to take a closer look at the map.

The largest piece in the center of the map is the Human Continent. Its outline is not much different from what Lu Ci remembered, but there are many place names on it that he has never seen before.

Zhong Li no longer pointed to a point in the sea south of the mainland: "We are right here, south of the mainland, there is no limit to the sea of ​​suffering."

The word "Xuanjing" is marked next to that point, which is where the hanging mirror stand is located. These deer speeches have been heard by the young man in prison before, so there is no need to say more at this time, and nodded: "This I know."

After all, he pointed to the three place names in the north, west and east of the human continent and asked, "What do these 'fairy palaces' mean?"

Luo Hanxin sighed softly at the side: "This is really a long story. The reorganization of the power in the mainland took place after your death, and it is not unrelated to the drastic changes in the division back then. Why don't you first talk about it after we left?" What exactly happened, can we continue to talk about what you know?"

This statement is well-founded, and Lu Ci also took it seriously, so he nodded, and turned his gaze to the sea area east of the human continent on the map, where there is a tiny piece of land marked with the word "Xihe". The master's gate is located - Xihezhou in the East China Sea.

"Xihe" means "sun", symbolizing the place where the sun rises, and Xihezhou is an oasis in the place where the sun rises in the East China Sea.

Legend has it that Xihezhou has existed since the beginning of the world, and there are four spiritual objects buried under it, surrounded by clouds and mists all the year round. It is the place where spiritual energy gathers in the world.

For thousands of years, there have been countless legends about the secret place of hidden spirits in the human continent, but no one has ever found its location.

Until more than 600 years ago, a couple gave birth to a baby with an incurable disease. Seeing that the medicine stone was ineffective, they put him in a wooden basin and went down the river, hoping that he could reach the legendary Tibet. The secret realm of spirits was saved by immortals.

This was an absurd move in a desperate situation, but unexpectedly, 18 years later, the grown-up child really returned to the couple safely.

According to the child, the secret realm of hidden spirits does exist, and he really arrived at the secret realm and saw the "immortal" in the secret realm.

The "immortal" cured him, raised him up, taught him a lot, and finally sent him out of the secret realm when he was old, and he relied on the silk book that the couple kept in their infancy. I found my hometown.

In addition, the "immortal" once told him that the reason why people in the world can't find Xihezhou is because the secret land of hidden spirits is the purest place in the world, and the fireworks in the world are too turbid, so it's impossible for people with dirty eyes to see it Its true capacity.But babies are completely different. They have just been born, they have not been polluted, and the aura still exists in their bodies, so they will be sent to the secret realm by the water of the river.

Since then, the existence of the Hidden Spirits Secret Realm has been confirmed, and many parents have thought of sending their newborn children to the "Fairyland" to learn from teachers. However, most parents dare not try this kind of action lightly, only those parents who are extremely poor and unable to raise their children or whose children are congenitally ill will take the risk.

More than ten years later, those babies really grew up safely, returned from the secret realm and returned to the human continent, and they all made great achievements by virtue of what they learned in the secret realm, making those parents who dared not try it back then beat their chests and beat their feet, and missed the opportunity.

Since then, more and more babies in the human continent have been sent to the secret realm, and Lu Ci is one of them.

In Luci's memory, he has been living in Xihezhou since the day he remembered, where exotic flowers and plants are everywhere, rare birds and animals come and go, dragons dive in the water, cranes fly in the sky, and the mist is misty like a fairyland.

There are many senior brothers and sisters in the secret realm who are older than him, such as Zhongli Bufu and Luo Hanxin, and the one called "immortal" by the world is the master of the secret realm—their master Quejinxian.

No one knows how many years Que Jinxian has lived. He seems to be a real immortal, who will never grow old, will always be with the heaven and earth, and will always be the master of this Xihe Continent.

All babies who grow up in the secret realm take the date of arrival in the secret realm as their birthday. When they are born, they will be sent away from the secret realm and return to the mainland by their master.

I don't know when, all the brothers and sisters who left the secret realm would write all the things in the world on paper, put them in bamboo tubes and send them down the river to the secret realm. Learn about the world.

Zhong Li Bu Fu and Luo Han Xin were a few years older than Lu Ci, so Lu Ci was not yet eighteen when they left the secret realm.At that time, although he was already full of yearning for the human continent, he could only bid farewell to his brothers and sisters, and then continued to stay in the secret realm and wait patiently.

In the next few years, he read the news from the brothers and sisters of the past generations thoroughly, and made full preparations for leaving the secret realm and going to the world.

However, not long before his birthday, a wooden basin floated along the coast of the secret realm.

This situation is not uncommon in the Hidden Spirit Secret Realm. While betting on whether the pot is a man or a woman, all the juniors and juniors rushed to the shore to "greet" this new fellow, but what they did not expect was that when the wooden pot was taken away The basin hook took a closer look, and in the basin was a baby corpse that had been dead for an unknown period of time. The corpse was completely rotten, with the white bones exposed between the flesh and the stench was suffocating.

Several younger brothers and sisters vomited on the spot, and some timid ones were so frightened that they sat on the ground and wailed.

At that time, Lu Ci was already the oldest senior brother among all the remaining fellow disciples in the secret realm. Seeing this situation, he hurriedly ordered them to take away the young senior brother and sister first, and then found straw mats to wrap the wooden basin completely. He found a remote place and dug a deep pit, and buried the wooden basin in it.

There has never been a funeral in the Hidden Spirit Realm. Lu Ci learned these methods from the book. After everything was done, he personally comforted a few frightened juniors and juniors, telling them that life and death are common things in the world, so don’t be frightened by them and so on.

The mood of the younger brothers and younger sisters gradually eased, and they all continued to talk and laugh slowly, so everyone didn't continue to delve into the matter.

Unexpectedly, starting from the second day, the youngest brothers and sisters in the secret realm fell ill one after another. At first, their throats were swollen and difficult to swallow, and then their seven orifices were bleeding and their consciousness was blurred. And encoffining has been reduced to a pile of bones.

I don't know why this disease started, but it is fierce. Countless elixir in the secret realm has no effect on it, and even the master is helpless.

The most frightening thing is that after the first batch of sick brothers and sisters died, the fellow disciples who took care of them and took medicines also fell ill one after another. Only then did they realize that the disease was like a plague, and they had little contact with the sick. It will be infected, and not only people, even birds and beasts in the secret realm will not be spared.

In just a few days, the entire secret realm was shrouded in the shadow of death. The ground was covered with bones and mourning.

Lu Ci was the last person to fall in the secret realm besides the master, so it was a disaster for the master. After he found out that he was sick, he immediately hid in the hiding place where he used to play hide-and-seek when he was young, and spent the last few days there.

The illness lasted for a long time, and the two days before the memory began to blur were as hard as spring and autumn, and then the consciousness gradually began to slacken, sometimes as if floating in the sky, sometimes as if falling in a cold pool of hundreds of feet, as if I could hear someone when I was dying I was calling my name lightly, but it seemed like I was in a dream, everything was illusory.

……

"When I opened my eyes again, I would have borrowed Song Zhong's body to revive my soul and be in prison." Lu Ci said.

After listening to him talk about the changes in the secret realm back then, Zhongli Bufu and Luo Hanxin both fell into silence with solemn expressions.

After a long while, Luo Hanxin seemed to suddenly think of something, suddenly raised his head and said in a big fuss: "Junior brother, you are so miserable!"

Lu Ci thought he was lamenting his untimely death, and was just about to say "It's all over" in relief, but Luo Hanxin continued: "It was hard to escape the 'Long Ci' back then, and now there is another 'Death' !"

Lu Ci and Zhong Li Bufu were startled, and then they both laughed.

——Most of the infants who arrived at the secret place of hidden spirits would be stuffed into a small wooden sign by their parents, with the surname and place of residence written on it so that the children could find their home in the future, and the master Que Jinxian would name them according to the surname.

However, Que Jinxian seems to have a quirk - he likes to take his name from bad luck.

All the names of the same family in the past are more unlucky than the other, such as Linshanqiong, Heshuijin, Yang Qianxin, Qi Wanku, anyway, it sounds like they are either displaced or have a long-term destiny. The brothers laughed at themselves in private: "Hey, we don't need to say that we come from a secret realm when we come to the mainland, as long as we report our names, others will understand—oh, this is a disciple of the 'Donghai Disappointment Gate'!"

Luci was the only child in the secret realm who didn't have a wooden sign in his infancy, and because the wooden basin he floated to sleep in was dragged ashore by a spiritual deer, so the master simply took "Lu" as his surname and named him "Lu Ci". long speech".

When he was young, he didn't understand the meaning of "Chang Ci", but when he got older and understood the meaning, Lu Ci refused to recognize the name no matter what, he just pestered his master to change it for him.

Que Jinxian's temperament is like an old naughty boy. Apart from his childlike innocence, he is also quite casual and unrestrained. Seeing that Lu Ci doesn't like the name, he doesn't think it's disobedient. Don’t use the word, just change the name to ‘Deer Ci’.”

At that time, Lu Ci readily accepted this change. Who would have thought that he could escape the first day of the junior high school but not the fifteenth? Calculate.

"Why don't you change it again?" Luo Hanxin seriously suggested.

Lu Ci sneered: "Forget it, this is probably what life must have sometimes, I admit it."

After being interrupted by Luo Hanxin, the gloomy atmosphere suddenly eased a lot, and Zhong Libufu had long been accustomed to Luo Hanxin's insensitivity, so he didn't pay attention to it at this time, and returned to the topic on his own: "If I remember correctly, Your birthday is June [-]?"

Lu Ci didn't know why he mentioned this, but still nodded.It was June [-]th when his wooden basin arrived in the secret realm, and this was also the day when he was supposed to leave the island ten years ago, but unfortunately he failed to leave, and spent his last birthday in a dying illness.

Zhongli said: "Ten years ago, on June [-]th, a strange thing happened in the human continent - at first, suddenly dark clouds overwhelmed the city, and soon after, lightning and thunder began. Everyone thought it was an approaching rainstorm , but unexpectedly a moment later there was heavy snow in the sky."

"Heavy snow?" Lu Ci asked in surprise, "How can it snow in June?"

Zhong Li Bu Fu nodded: "That's why I said it was weird. This snow fell for a whole month, and it wasn't limited to a certain area, but covered the entire human continent."

Lu Ci was astonished. It was really an anecdote through the ages that snow fell in June and the next month continued without distinction of region.

Zhong Li said, "When the snow fell on the tenth day, you, Senior Brother Luo, Senior Sister Misang, and Senior Brother Ji all received a letter inviting us to Wumei Town on the coast of the East China Sea."

The senior sister Misang he was talking about was named Misang Yaoyue, and the senior brother Ji was named Ji Shiyan. They were both from the same school as Zhongli Bufu, and they were the ones Lu Ci was most familiar with among the group of disciples in the secret realm.

Zhongli continued: "The letter was not signed, but it said that there was something important to discuss. Although we all hesitated, we still chose to go to the appointment. After the peace meeting in Wumei Town, we finally saw the person who sent the letter. people."

Lu Ci instinctively felt that this person must be the key, and hurriedly said, "Who?"

Zhong Libufu's complexion suddenly became a little gloomy, as if he remembered something unpleasant, he said coldly: "Ji Wuzhou."
