Dream Maker [Rebirth]

Lu Ci's heart trembled, not only because of the name, but also because of Zhong Li's attitude when he never said the name again.

Ji Wuzhou is also one of their fellow sects. Although he had been unpopular in the secret realm because of some rumors, he didn't seem to have too much conflict with Zhongli.But now when Zhong Li never mentioned him again, he was gnashing his teeth like this, which really surprised Lu Ci.

Turning to look at Luo Hanxin, he saw that he also looked disgusted, as if he had some deep hatred with Ji Wuzhou.

"Why did he send you a letter?" Lu Ci suddenly became a little apprehensive, with a hint of ominous premonition in his heart.

Zhongli said in a deep voice, "He told us that he just came back from the secret realm and brought out the Quartet Spirit Artifact that has been hidden in the secret realm for thousands of years."

Lu Ci was stunned, and his mind was in a moment of confusion: "How is this possible? Didn't it mean that after leaving the secret realm, you can never go back? And the Quartet Spirit Artifact... Didn't Master say that it was just a legend?"

For thousands of years, there have been many legends about the Quartet Spiritual Weapons in the Human Continent, but no one has ever known what they are, only saying that they are hidden in a secret place and are the treasure of Zhenzhou.

The fellow disciples in the secret realm were curious to ask the master, but the master said that it was all fabricated by the world, and there is no spiritual weapon in the secret realm.

"You don't believe it, do you?" Luo Hanxin seemed to have found a bosom friend, and his face was full of anger, "He said that he just returned to the secret realm in an ordinary wooden boat. He also said that when he arrived, everyone was dead. spirit weapon, and then brought out all of them, huh, does it sound like a joke?"

After finishing speaking, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and suddenly said: "By the way, now that you have finished speaking, it becomes clearer that the infant corpse is probably the result of his messing up, isn't he a plague god?! "

Zhong Li no longer patted Luo Hanxin to signal him not to get excited, and then continued: "We all felt very strange at the time, so we asked him why he suddenly thought of going back to the secret realm when he had been away from the continent for several years, and it turned out—"

Zhongli Bufu sneered sarcastically: "He said he was willing, and we have nothing to do with it."

Lu Ci was at a loss for words for a while, but after thinking about it, this is really what Ji Wuzhou can say, he couldn't help but sighed, "And then?"

Seeing that Luo Hanxin was always on the sidelines wanting to interrupt, Zhong Li no longer stopped him, allowing him to tell Lu Ci what happened next.

At the meeting in Wumei Town that year, Ji Wuzhou told them that the heavy snowfall in the continent of the world was caused by the spirit weapon leaving the continent. Because the spirit weapon left the secret realm, all the spiritual energy gathered in Xihezhou before collapsed. everywhere in the world.

There were four spirit weapons in total, but Ji Wuzhou brought only three of them at that time. They were the Wanling staff that could create dreams with the sound of bells, the Illusion Gu yarn clothing that could drive insects from the world, and the magic weapon that could predict the future. Tianhe Lufan.

Brothers and sisters asked about the whereabouts of the fourth spiritual weapon, but Ji Wuzhou said that it was already where it should be, and told them not to ask any more questions.

Afterwards, he gave Misang Yaoyue the Illusion Gu Shayi, and the Tianhe Feather Fan to Ji Shiyan, while he kept the Wanling Staff.

Before leaving, he told Zhongli Bufu and Luo Hanxin that after the heavy snowfall, a black rock mountain would surface from the depths of the South China Sea, and they could use it by themselves.

Originally, the two didn't understand what a rock mountain could be used for, but when they actually arrived at the rock mountain, they discovered that the mountain had already been dug into shape, as if it had been a natural prison from beginning to end.

A few months later, rumors began to spread in the world that "a heavenly master creates dreams". After careful inquiring, I found out that Ji Wuzhou built a dream palace in the polar night snow region in the northern part of the mainland, and he used it to The Wanling staff builds dreams for people and is regarded as the "Dream Maker".

Not long afterward, Misang Yaoyue built the Illusory Gu Immortal Palace in the Western Regions and was regarded as the "Illusory Gu Celestial Master". Ji Shiyan built the Proverbs Immortal Palace in the southeast and was regarded as the "Proverbs Celestial Master". .

And Zhongli Bufu, who built the hanging mirror platform in the boundless sea of ​​bitterness south of the mainland, was regarded as the "celestial master of fate", and was called the four great masters of heaven together with the three people in the mainland.

After hearing Luo Hanxin's story, Lu Ci looked at the map of the world in front of him again, and suddenly felt a little unreal, as if he just woke up from a sleep, but the world has turned upside down.

Zhongli said: "Back then we all suspected that Ji Wuzhou was responsible for the destruction of the secret realm, and thought about killing him to avenge you, but the whereabouts of the fourth spiritual weapon has been unknown, and we were worried that it was hidden by him. The killer weapon, and has never dared to act rashly."

"It's not just us?" Luo Hanxin added, "When everyone in the world first learned that the secret realm was destroyed, who didn't think that it was Ji Wuzhou's work for seizing the spirit weapon? They all scolded him as a generation who killed his fellow disciples and deceived his masters and ancestors. Who knows..."

He paused, and said with a smile: "After a few months, they tasted the sweetness brought by the spiritual weapon, and they all seemed to have lost their memory and never mentioned it again. He built palaces and set up halls, all he wanted was to enjoy the golden dream. The life he is living now, heh, that is really extravagant and extravagant, I am afraid that even the gods will sigh to themselves after seeing it!"

Seeing that he was filled with righteous indignation, Lu Ci didn't know how to evaluate him for a while, but he heard Zhongli Bufu and said again: "Besides, after the heavy snow that year, disasters happened frequently in the human world. .”

"Frequent disasters?" Lu Ci was a little surprised when he heard this, "Spiritual energy disperses to the world, shouldn't it add blessings and prosperity? Why do disasters happen so frequently?"

Zhongli Bufu shook his head: "We don't know the reason, but it is the fact. After that heavy snowfall, there were endless murders in the world, murderers rampant and bandits were rampant, and there were many times more than before. Otherwise, the Xuanjingtai would not As for being overcrowded like today."

Lu Ci nodded, but thought in his heart: This "natural prison" surfaced after the heavy snow, and the murderers in the world also increased suddenly after the heavy snow. Why is it such a coincidence?

However, this question is still unclear, so he can only doubt it for the time being. After a moment of silence, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Brother, what is your leg?"

He remembered that Zhongli Bufu's legs were still intact when he left the secret realm, and he wanted to ask him why he was in a wheelchair a few times before, but he couldn't open his mouth because the topic was diverted to other places.

Luo Hanxin showed a tinge of pain when he heard the words, while Zhongli Bufu gave a wry smile, and said slowly: "After the construction of his Mengdu Immortal Palace, I tried to sneak into it to find the whereabouts of the fourth spiritual weapon, but Unexpectedly... I got hit by an organ in his palace."

Lu Ci couldn't help being dumbfounded, and his heart suddenly became clear: If it is said that Zhongli Bufu's hatred for Ji Wuzhou originated from the destruction of the secret realm, then after he broke his legs at Ji Wuzhou's place, the hatred might be lost. It completely turned into hatred.

Silently comprehending what they just said, Lu Ci's heart turned back and forth for a moment.

If he didn't know these "future events", maybe he could barely think that it was just some kind of "flying disaster" that the infant corpse spread the plague to the island, but now that he knows what happened later, he has to reconsider whether it was a "natural disaster" back then Or "man-made disaster".

The most direct way to investigate cases in the world is to find "beneficiaries", and the biggest beneficiary of the destruction of the secret realm is obviously Ji Wuzhou who now holds two spiritual weapons, and he wonders why he suddenly left the continent after several years. Going to the secret place to avoid answering, scribbling about why he was able to find the secret place successfully, and concealing the whereabouts of the fourth spiritual weapon, the answer seems to be obvious.

However, Lu Ci still had a doubt in his heart: If Ji Wuzhou had been planning to seize the spirit weapon for a long time, and even did not hesitate to kill his fellow disciples for it, why didn't he keep all of them in his hands after he got them, but split them into two pieces? To Missang Yaoyue and Ji's slip of the tongue?Is it to form cliques or to cut one's edge so that you will not become the target of public criticism?

Also, why did he know in advance that the Black Rock Mountain would surface after the heavy snowfall?Besides, does he know anything else?

After pondering for a long time, Lu Ci finally said: "Where is Ji Wuzhou now? Is it in the Mengmeng Palace?"

Zhongli said in disbelief: "Not necessarily, these years he has used the Wanling Staff as a man-made dream, and his whereabouts are erratic, but...he will go to the excommunication ceremony in half a month."

Pardon ceremony?

Lu Ci recalled what the young man in the cell said, "Isn't that the execution of prisoners by the Xuanjingtai? What did he come for?"

Zhongli said again: "Although this Black Rock Mountain was already a well-formed prison back then, it was only in shape but not in reality. Later, it was jointly supported and opened by the Sangong, and I was in charge of detaining and disposing of murderous criminals. The amnesty ceremony is also co-hosted by the three palaces, and the winner of the ceremony will enter the first palace and start a new life as a subordinate of this palace."

Lu Ci couldn't help frowning slightly: "But Xuanjingtai detains all murder criminals, so it's really okay to let the tiger go back to the mountain like this?"

Luo Hanxin laughed beside him and said, "You can rest assured. All the prisoners who participated in the excommunication ceremony will either die or change their minds. That is no joke."

After that, he thought of something again, and suddenly said: "By the way, don't you know where the excommunication ceremony will be held?"

Lu Ci was at a loss: "Aren't you at the Xuanjingtai?"

Luo Hanxin shook his head: "In Xihezhou."

Lu Ci couldn't help being stunned, his memory of Xihezhou was still the same as it was more than ten years ago, but he didn't expect it to be a "execution ground" now.

Luo Hanxin sighed softly, and said: "But since the spiritual energy has dissipated, there is no longer a hidden place that the world can't find, and it is no longer a 'fairyland outside the world', now...it is very different from before. "

Lu Ci nodded in understanding, but he didn't show much reminiscence about the past, because he really couldn't imagine the current appearance of the secret realm just by hearing it, so he simply didn't go into it, and asked instead: "If I can do it in Zhuhai If you win the amnesty ceremony, you can choose to enter Dream Crossing Immortal Palace, right?"

Luo Hanxin was shocked immediately: "You want to participate in the excommunication ceremony?!"

Lu Ci laughed at himself: "Aren't I also a prisoner now?"

Luo Han said in his heart: "But——"

Lu Ci raised his hand to block his words, and said: "Don't you also want to know the whereabouts of the fourth spiritual weapon? Isn't it the best way to get close to him to find the spiritual weapon by entering Mengdu Immortal Palace and becoming Ji Wuzhou's subordinate? "

In fact, there is another point that Lu Ci did not express clearly, that is, he has doubts about the matter of "Ji Wuzhou is the culprit of the destruction of the secret realm", but whether it is true or not, evidence must be found, and since evidence is needed, Naturally, it is necessary to get close first to facilitate exploration.

Luo Han frowned worriedly, but felt unable to refute, he opened his mouth and closed it awkwardly, turned his head to look at Zhongli.

Zhongli Bufu thought about it seriously for a moment, then nodded and said: "Alright, based on your familiarity with the secret realm, it is not difficult to pass the amnesty ceremony. But... there is one thing you must take a good look at."

Lu Ci said: "What?"

"Song Zhong's dossier," Zhong Li said, "the test of the amnesty ceremony is related to the crimes committed. If you don't know anything about Song Zhong's actions, you may be at a disadvantage."

Lu Ci nodded. In fact, even if it wasn't for the amnesty ceremony, he still wanted to see Song Zhong's file, and wanted to know what this person had done to be imprisoned in the Xuanjingtai.

Seeing that the two of them had finalized the matter just like that, Luo Han puffed his lips reluctantly, and said, "Then you... still plan to live in the cell?"

Lu Ci nodded and said: "Of course, only the two of you know my identity. If I was taken away for interrogation but never returned, it is hard to guarantee that the judges and guards would not think too much about it. One more thing is worse than one less thing. Besides, since I borrowed This Song Zhong's body is reborn, and he will not be wronged if he sits in prison for a few days."

Luo Hanxin didn't persuade him any more, but it could be seen that he was still not very happy.

They grew up together in a secret realm since they were young, and they had agreed to live next to each other after returning to the mainland. Unexpectedly, the secret realm was destroyed and Lu Ci died. This parting lasted for more than ten years. Now they reunited with great difficulty. Seeing that Lu Ci is going to suffer in prison and be in danger of being pardoned, I really feel bad.

Zhongli could no longer see what he was thinking, raised his hand to pat him on the back to comfort him, and said to Lu Ci: "Don't force yourself, if you feel unsure before the ceremony, you can give up at any time."

Lu Ci smiled and said, "Okay."

The three of them left the study and returned to the main hall, Zhongli Bufu ordered the guards outside the gate to take the deer and resign to pick up the file and send him back to the cell.

After everything was done and Lu Ci left, Zhongli Bufu and the two returned to the house and closed the door. Luo Hanxin suddenly turned around and asked, "Why did you agree with him to go to the amnesty ceremony? Didn't you already arrange for Jiang He?" Yet?"
