Chapter 50 Bookworms in Black
Under the caress of the moonlight, the twin sisters Yin Qing and Yang Rou, the two marquises of Yin and Yang, stepped into a village shrouded in a strange dream.
Their figures appear mysterious and harmonious in the night, like the two poles of yin and yang, interdependent yet independent.
The cloudy and sunny days are like a dark shadow in the night sky, carrying with them an unpredictable sense of depth and calmness; while the sunny and soft days are like the rising sun, gentle and bright, bringing a touch of vitality to this dark village.
"Sister, what kind of secret do you think is hidden behind the dream of this village?" Yang Rou asked softly, with both curiosity and a hint of worry in her voice.
Yin Qing stared ahead, her deep eyes seemed to be able to see through everything. "Yin and Yang are intertwined, and dreams and reality are often only a thought away. These blood samples in our hands may be the key to open the door to the truth."
As they spoke, they took out five vials from the bags they carried, each filled with the blood of the missing person.
Under the moonlight, the blood seemed to be given life, sparkling with strange light.
"Are you ready, sister?" Yin Qing's voice was low and powerful. She tightly grasped the rune stone in her hand, ready to cast the tracking technique.
"Yes, I'm ready." Yang Rou nodded, clasped her hands together gently, and began to chant an ancient and mysterious spell.
As the spell sounded, the air around her seemed to be drawn by her voice and began to tremble slightly.
Seeing this, Yin Qing also quickly got into the state and injected all the spiritual power in his body into the rune stone.
The rune stone instantly burst out with dazzling light, echoing with Yang Rou's spell, forming a powerful tracking force.
"Yin and Yang combine, softness and hardness work together, use blood as a guide, and track down the missing soul!" As Yang Rou completed the spell, the light of the rune stone suddenly shrank, turning into a stream of light that cut through the night sky and pointed straight into the distance.
The two sisters looked at each other, determination and hope shining in their eyes.
They did not hesitate and followed the direction indicated by the light.
In the interweaving of night and tree shadows, they shuttled forward like two ghosts. The tacit understanding and trust between them made them fearless in the unknown journey.
Finally, they found the five missing people in an open area.
In the moonlight, the five people looked extremely weak but still alive.
They walked forward cautiously and took a closer look, only to find that they were actually in a dream.
Just like those villagers, they were trapped in this illusory world.
In the dream, their fate changed drastically, as if they had reached the peak of their lives.
However, they knew clearly that if they continued to immerse themselves in this beautiful dream, their vitality would gradually be cut off.
Because this is just an illusion, drifting away from reality.
They had no choice but to ask the knowledgeable ghost scholar in the ghost world.
Yin Qing and Yang Rou crossed the boundary between the Yin and Yang worlds and came to the ghost world, looking for the legendary knowledgeable ghost scholar.
In the ghost world, there is fog and ghost lights, making it quiet and mysterious.
"Excuse me, do you know which ghost scholar in this ghost world is the most knowledgeable and talented?" Yang Rou's voice echoed in the empty ghost world. She hoped to find the ghost scholar who could help them as soon as possible.
Not long after, a ghost scholar in a long robe and holding a folding fan slowly walked over. He had a smile on his face and wisdom gleaming in his eyes.
"Are you two looking for me, ladies? I am a scholar with a little reputation in this ghost world. Perhaps I can answer your questions."
Yin Qing and Yang Rou smiled at each other and hurried forward to salute.
"Thank you, Master Ghost Scholar. We do have an urgent matter to ask for. Recently, we encountered some villagers and five people who were obsessed with dreams and did not want to wake up. We suspect that this is related to some mysterious power."
The ghost scholar frowned upon hearing this, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "From what you said, this symptom is quite similar to that of a very rare spirit - a bookworm. As the name suggests, a bookworm is an insect that is nourished by books, and it takes thousands of years for it to become a spirit. This spirit is best at creating dreams, attracting living beings to indulge in them, and thus absorbing their energy to strengthen itself."
"The bookworm has become a spirit?" Yang Rou repeated in amazement, "Then how can we rescue those trapped in the dream?"
The ghost scholar gently waved his folding fan and continued, "The solution is not easy.
First, you need to find the hiding place of the bookworm, which is often hidden in a place piled with ancient books and rarely visited by people.
Secondly, one needs to have strong willpower and spiritual power to resist the temptation of dreams woven by the bookworm and draw it out of the host body. "
"But we don't know where the bookworm is hiding..." Yin Qing looked embarrassed.
The ghost scholar smiled slightly and took out a small jade slip from his sleeve. "This is a map of the ghost world that I have collected over the years. It may contain clues to where the bookworm has become a spirit. You can use it for reference, but remember, this journey is extremely dangerous, so be careful."
Yin Qing and Yang Rou took the jade slip and burst into tears of gratitude. "Thank you, Master Ghost Scholar, for your guidance. We will definitely do our best to rescue those trapped."
After bidding farewell to the ghost scholar, Yin Qing and Yang Rou followed the clues in the jade slips and, after going through untold hardships, finally found the hiding place of the bookworm - an ancient academy hidden in the deep mountains and forests.
There are tens of thousands of books in the academy, but it is empty. Only the sound of pages turning echoes in the silence.
They knew that it would be a tough battle ahead.
But they also understand that only by defeating the bookworm can they save those innocent lives.
So, they took a deep breath and resolutely stepped into the gate of the academy...
They opened the small jade slip and carefully read the description and clues about the bookworm becoming a spirit.
"The scroll says that bookworms are the best at hiding and have an endless desire for dreams." Yang Rou read softly, "If we want to find it, we have to make it most interested in us, especially our dreams, which must be what it is most interested in."
Yin Qing nodded in agreement, but then looked troubled. "But the villagers' dreams obviously can't satisfy the appetite of the bookworm, so how can our dreams attract it?"
Yang Rou pondered for a moment, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her eyes. "Perhaps, we can try to construct a special dream, a dream full of unknowns, challenges and temptations, so that the bookworm spirit will be irresistible."
"But how do we construct such a dream?" Yin Qing asked.
Yang Rou smiled slightly and took out an ancient book from her bosom. "I found this book by chance. It records some ancient methods of dream construction. We can try some of these techniques and combine them with our own experiences and imagination to create a unique dream."
So, the two began to practice in seclusion, immersed in the ocean of books, learning and practicing the secrets of dream construction. They incorporated their own emotions, wishes, fears and hopes into it, creating a dream world that is both real and illusory, beautiful and dangerous.
After several days of hard work, they finally completed the construction of the dream. When night fell and everything was quiet, they stood at the entrance of the village, closed their eyes and concentrated, connecting their spiritual power with the dream.
"Bookworm has become a spirit. Your prey is ready. A dream world that belongs only to you is waiting for your arrival." Yang Rou muttered in her heart.
Soon, a breeze blew by, bringing the sound of pages turning.
Yin Qing and Yang Rou suddenly opened their eyes and saw a faint light flickering in the night sky, then quickly approaching them.
There was an indescribable attraction in that light, as if it wanted to pull their entire souls into it.
"It is it!" Yin Qing exclaimed, and quickly stood side by side with Yang Rou, ready to meet the upcoming challenge.
As the light got closer, a blurry figure gradually emerged.
It was a huge, strangely shaped insect, its body covered with densely packed books and words, its eyes flashing with greed.
It is a bookworm transformed into a spirit!
"Hmph, a mere mortal dares to challenge my authority?" The bookworm spirit made a low and hoarse voice, obviously surprised and dissatisfied with the appearance of Yin Qing and Yang Rou.
"We are not here to challenge you, but to rescue those innocent creatures trapped in your dream." Yang Rou stepped forward, her tone firm and powerful.
The bookworm sneered, "Rescue? They are just willing to indulge in my dream, enjoying the beauty and respect I give them. How can you mortals understand the fun of it?"
"Beauty and respect? They are nothing but illusions." Yin Qing retorted, "True respect and happiness come from inner growth and hard work, not from dreams of escaping reality."
Upon hearing this, the bookworm's expression changed slightly, as if some emotion deep in its heart was touched.
But then, it returned to its cold and cruel appearance. "Humph, I don't bother to understand the principles of you mortals. Since you insist on interfering in my affairs, don't blame me for being rude!"
After saying that, the bookworm-like spirit pounced on Yin Qing and Yang Rou, trying to devour them with its huge body and endless dream power.
However, Yin Qing and Yang Rou were already prepared. They used the dream-construction methods they had learned to engage in a fierce battle with the bookworm spirit.
In this battle, they not only demonstrated extraordinary wisdom and courage, but also used their actions to interpret what true respect and growth are.
After successfully catching the bookworm, Yin Qing and Yang Rou felt both the joy of victory and curiosity about the unknown.
They carefully tied up the bookworm to prevent it from escaping again.
"The letter said that bookworms like to sleep the most. How come you woke up?" Yang Rou stared at the bookworm with a hint of doubt in her tone.
The bookworm struggled for a while, but seemed unable to break free. It finally spoke, with a hint of unwillingness in its voice.
"Unless someone wakes me up, I will remain asleep in the ancient books."
"Who is that man? What conditions did he give you to make you stir up such trouble?" Yin Qing pursued relentlessly, she wanted to know who was the mastermind behind all this.
The bookworm was silent for a moment, as if hesitating whether to tell the truth. But in the end, it slowly spoke: "It was a man in black. He found me and promised to give me endless books and knowledge in exchange for helping me create dreams and control those greedy humans."
"Evil cultivator!" Yin Qing and Yang Rou looked at each other, and saw shock and anger in each other's eyes. They didn't expect that the instigator of all this was actually an evil cultivator.
"Then let's look at your memory and find out the true face of the man in black." Yang Rou said, taking out an ancient mirror from her bosom. This mirror is not an ordinary object, it can reflect fragments of a person's memory and allow people to peek into the truth of the past.
The bookworm saw this and a trace of fear flashed in its eyes. But it had been caught and could not resist.
As Yang Rou pointed the mirror at the bookworm, a flash of light appeared and blurry images began to appear on the mirror.
In the picture, a man in black appears next to the ancient book where the bookworm is sleeping. He holds a bottle filled with black liquid and carefully puts the bookworm into it.
As the black liquid seeped into the bookworm, its body began to change. Its eyes became brighter, and the books and words covering its body seemed to come to life.
"Look, it's him!" Yin Qing pointed at the man in black in the picture, with a hint of trembling in her voice.
In the memory reflected by the mirror, the man in black did not show his true appearance, but he was surrounded by bursts of black air, like fog in the abyss, making it impossible to glimpse his true face.
This black air contains evil and treacherous power, as if it can devour all light and hope.
"This black energy... such a strong evil force." Yin Qing frowned, staring at the picture in the mirror, her heart full of vigilance and uneasiness.
"Yes, this is definitely the aura of an evil cultivator." Yang Rou also looked solemn. She knew the danger of being an enemy of an evil cultivator. But even so, they could not retreat, because they were responsible for protecting the villagers and revealing the truth.
"We have to find this evil cultivator as soon as possible and not let him continue to do evil." Yin Qing clenched his fists, his tone full of determination.
"But, we haven't even seen his true face, how can we find him?" Yang Rou asked this question. This is also the biggest problem they are facing now.
"There will always be a way." Yin Qing pondered for a moment, then looked at Yang Rou, "We can continue to look for clues from Bookworm's memory to see if he knows more information about the evil cultivator."
Yang Rou nodded in agreement, and they both focused their attention on the mirror again.
They carefully guided the bookworm's memory, trying to dig out more useful information from it.
After some effort, they finally found some key clues - the evil cultivator seemed to be connected to a remote cave, which might be his hiding place.
"With this clue, we have a direction." A glimmer of hope flashed in Yin Qing's eyes, "Let's set off immediately to that cave, find the evil cultivator and stop his plan."
Yang Rou also nodded, and the two decided to act immediately. They knew that this battle would be extremely difficult and dangerous, but they were ready, and for justice and truth, they would move forward courageously.
