Dream Maker [Rebirth]

The next day.

Lu Ci woke up in a daze with a knock on the door.

There is no day and night in Dumeng Immortal Palace, and it is always dark outside the window. He doesn't know what time it is at this time, he just feels as if he has just fallen asleep.

When I returned to Yulu Pavilion last night, there was still an unextinguished candle in the room, but Ji Wuzhou on the couch seemed to have taken medicine and fell into a deep sleep.

Lu Cisheng was afraid that he would not sleep well and bump into his wounds, so he didn't dare to sleep with him, but he was also worried that he would feel unwell at night and needed someone to take care of him, so he gently hugged the quilt and went out to the outside room to make do with it one night.

At this moment, he heard a knock on the door in a trance, thinking that there was a great chaos in the palace, he was afraid that the disciple had something important to report, so even though he was sleepy, he didn't delay, got up and opened the door while dozing off.

There were two people standing outside the door, one was Dong Ping, who was in charge of the palace, and the other really surprised Lu Ci, so unexpected that he even woke up from a doze: "Why are you here?"

The other person was none other than Zhong Wangyou, who was still unconscious last night and was sent back to Missang's house by him. At this time, he was standing solemnly beside Dong Ping, holding the illusion gauze that Missang Yaoyue wore in his hand.

Before Zhong Wangyou could answer, Dong Ping was already explaining for him: "I think this child seems to have something urgent to ask you, so I took it upon myself to bring him here directly."

Lu Ci nodded: "It's okay, you can do your work first."

Dong Ping left at the sound, and Lu Ci hurriedly turned sideways to open the door: "Come in, why are you here by yourself?"

When sending Zhong Wangyou back last night, Lu Ci greeted Missang's family and asked them to send someone to Dumengxian Palace to inform him after he woke up, but unexpectedly it was the child himself who came over now.

Zhong Wangyou's complexion was very haggard, the hair at the back of his head was loose and loose, his eyes that were red from crying last night were not even bloodshot, and he could tell that he had just woken up.

He stepped over the threshold, hesitated for a moment after Lu Ci closed the door again, and was about to speak, but suddenly heard a soft call from inside: "A Ci?"

As soon as Lu Ci heard it, he immediately led Zhong Wangyou to the inner room. After entering the room, he saw that Ji Wuzhou had woken up and was about to stand up on the couch with one elbow, so he hurriedly stepped forward and carefully helped him to sit up. A pillow was placed behind him: "How do you feel? Does it still hurt?"

Ji Wuzhou shook his head, and after sitting up, his eyes quickly fell on Zhong Wangyou who followed into the room, and then looked at the phantom gauze clothes in his hands, and couldn't help but look up at Lu Ci with a little doubt. .

Lu Ci also didn't know what the child's intentions were when he came here, so he quickly turned around and asked, "Wangyou, is there something you want to come here?"

Seeing that the eyes of both of them fell on him, Zhong Wangyou pursed his lips hesitantly, then nodded lightly and said softly: "I...I have something to ask."

His eyes were full of sincerity, but he seemed very cautious, as if he was afraid of being rejected. Lu Ci couldn't bear to see it, so he raised his hand and rubbed his head: "What do you want? What is there?" Just say it outright."

Zhong Wangyou pursed his lips again hesitating to speak, then slowly lowered his eyes to look at the gauze in his hand, and forced his courage to say: "I want to use it...to exchange the Moon Soul Bottle with you."

Lu Ci was slightly taken aback, unexpectedly the child brought Shayi with this intention.

Last night when we were parting in the Four Barren Mountains, Lu Ci directly handed over the Moon Mirror Soul Bottle to Ji Yuanchen and his son and took it back to Dumeng Fairy Palace. Putting the bottle there may not be as safe as crossing the dream fairy palace; secondly, Ji Wuzhou once used the soul bottle to make him reborn smoothly, so he must be more familiar with how to use the soul bottle correctly than others, and he feels that it is safest to leave the soul bottle in Ji Wuzhou's hands .

However, at this time, Zhong Wangyou has such a request for Lu Ci, but he also understands it very well-the mother has left, and the return date is unknown, so if you can keep the utensils containing the mother's soul by your side every day, it will be a little bit of relief .

It's just that even Luci doesn't know where the soul bottle is stored right now, he hesitated a little after hearing Zhong Wangyou's words, and turned to look at Ji Wuzhou.

Unexpectedly, Ji Wuzhou, who was leaning on the couch, almost didn't even hesitate for a moment, and he replied straightforwardly: "No."

Zhong Wangyou was taken aback for a moment, and then his expectant eyes dimmed instantly.

Lu Ci never thought that Ji Wuzhou would refuse so straightforwardly, just when he wanted to say a few words of persuasion, Ji Wuzhou continued: "It's not that I don't want to give it to you, it's that I can't give it to you."

Hearing this, not only Zhong Wangyou, but even Lu Ci was at a loss: "Why?"

Ji Wuzhou glanced at him helplessly, then lowered his eyes and sighed lightly, and said, "Do you know why the Jianyue soul bottle is called 'Jianyue'?"

As soon as this question came out, Zhong Wangyou's eyes became even more dazed, but it was as if a gust of wind suddenly blew into Lu Ci's heart, shaking a certain foggy corner slightly.

However, before he could ponder it carefully, Ji Wuzhou explained calmly: "Because once the moon-appreciating soul bottle starts nourishing the soul, it must be continuously nourished by the moonlight without interruption."

So it must stay in the polar night snow region, and it can only stay in the polar night snow region.

In an instant, the remaining mist in Lu Ci's heart finally completely dissipated, and finally answered all the questions that had seemed to be there all along——

Why did he feel that he was in a halo-like chaos in the ten years before his death?

Why is the hiding place of the moon-appreciating soul bottle not any secret room treasure house, but the dome of the ice castle where the jade jar hangs high?

In addition, there is the most important question, which was also a question that Lu Ci couldn't figure out when he first arrived at the fairy palace——

Ji Wuzhou is so afraid of the cold, why did he choose to build his fairy palace in the extreme night snow region, which is the coldest in the entire human continent?

At this moment, all the answers were completely clear with Ji Wuzhou's helpless explanation, but Lu Ci didn't feel relaxed at all. It's hard to describe what it feels like to stare blankly at Ji Wuzhou.

This person seems to have always been like this.

If Jiang He hadn't brought those yellowed wine recipes, he didn't intend to explain the origin of the wine shop.

If his uncle hadn't told the truth on the Hongye Peak, he would have planned to conceal the matter of the Spirit Gate Transformation Tool and the wedding and birthday.

If Wangyou hadn't come here today to ask for the soul bottle, he probably would never have taken the initiative to mention the reason why the Immortal Palace was built in the snowy region in his life.

It has always been so.

He is so used to taking all his sacrifices and keeping all his good intentions to himself. If you don't ask him, he won't mention it. Even if he asks, he won't speak up unless he has to.

Really...

Facing Lu Ci's complex and direct gaze, Ji Wuzhou seemed to comprehend all kinds of thoughts in his mind from a distance, and suddenly felt a sense of guilt for no reason.

However, before he could think of words to change the subject, Lu Ci suddenly looked away, turned around and squatted in front of Zhong Wangyou.

"Wangyou," Lu Ci said, looking up at the young man in front of him, "Do you know that I've also died once?"

Zhong Wangyou was obviously taken aback by this question, and then shook his head in bewilderment and surprise.

Lu Ci smiled slightly, and said: "The reason why I can live again is thanks to the gift of the moon soul bottle."

Hearing this, Zhong Wangyou seemed to have suddenly realized the reason why he mentioned this, nodded his head and listened patiently.

"However," Lu Ci changed the subject, turned his head towards Ji Wuzhou and raised his chin, "He was the only one who looked for this body for me back then, but now it's not only you who are looking forward to your mother's return, but also All of us. Therefore, we will not make you wait too long, and we will do our best to find a suitable body for your mother, so that she can return to you as soon as possible, okay?"

These few sentences are not like relief, but more like a promise made out of empathy.

After Zhong Wangyou listened quietly, the sockets of his eyes turned red suddenly, but the light in his eyes that had been dark before re-lighted with tears, and he nodded solemnly.

Lu Ci raised his hand and touched his cheek, and said again: "In the past, your mother, as the head of the family and the palace, took care of everything in a seamless manner, but now you have a lot to shoulder during the days when she is away. , if you encounter difficulties in the future, any difficulties, you can come to us at any time, and we will definitely try our best to help you, okay?"

Zhong Wangyou nodded again, the gratitude in his eyes was beyond words, and besides that, he was full of faith and determination. He firmly believed that he would reunite with his mother in the near future, and he was certain that he would take care of himself in the days when his mother was away. The important task of being the head of the family and the palace will never let her down.

Lu Ci couldn't help but smiled with relief, because at this moment he saw the same tenacity as his senior sister and his own transparency in the eyes of this young man, knowing that although the current adversity is urging him to grow, it is also helping him to grow up.

Lu Ci didn't give any more instructions, got up on his knees and took him to the Banyue Ice Castle, pointed out the location of the soul bottle on the dome, and took a piece of talisman paper for him to cross the dream fairy palace, and then watched him in the white light Transmitted back to the southwest.

After standing quietly for a while, Lu Ci turned and went outside the castle, but just as he was about to step out of the ice castle, he suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at the jade bowl on the dome again, as if looking through the jade bowl. Yu Zai was looking at the moon mirror soul bottle from a distance.

For some reason, at this moment, he suddenly remembered the so-called seven sufferings of life in the human book——

Birth, old age, sickness, and death.

Resentment meets hatred, love separates, and nothing can be asked for.

When the power of Velvet reaches its peak, it can give the owner of the flute a life span of 8000 years and protection from disasters and diseases, and can avoid "oldness" and "disease";

The moon mirror soul bottle summons souls and gathers memories, which is equivalent to avoiding "death";

Tianhe feather fan can predict future events and avoid "resentment meetings";

Wanling staff creates dreams and changes memories, which can solve "love parting";

Illusory Gu Shayi is used to expel Gu, so it can avoid "can't ask for it".

In the dark, the spirit weapon left by the ancestors seemed to deal with six of the seven, leaving only one "birth".

Is it because "life" is painful, but also extremely fortunate?

Is this just a coincidence, or is it the mysterious and mysterious so-called providence?

Lu Ci didn't continue to think about the answer, and felt that it might not have an answer.

He withdrew his gaze and didn't stop there, turned around and stepped out of the half-moon ice castle, and walked to Yulu Pavilion in the wind, snow and moonlight.
