Ten Years in Daocheng

There was a 'pop' on the nearest branch, and a small white peach blossom bloomed.As the flowers, big and small, bloom one after another, they hang heavily on the branches.Baixincha can even hear the slight sound of their petals opening.

Xu Liujun took Bai Xincha's hand: "Let's go."

As if there was a feeling, the petals of the trees fell like a never-ending rain.Petals swirl around them.Bai Xincha vaguely heard Xu Liujun say: "I knew it was a dream from the beginning."

But he didn't bother to think.The sky in front of his eyes was gradually covered by whiteness, and his body floated like when he fell into this dream.In a trance, Xu Liujun's voice sounded in the void.

"Only in a dream, I don't feel cold."

Xilin Town

Part46

Bai Xincha and Xu Liujun woke up from the fluffy haystack.In the dream, it was obvious that a long time had passed, but the sun in the field was still hanging slantingly on the horizon, half-setting.Xu Liujun seemed to have regained some energy, but his speech was still weak, completely different from him in the dream.

"We should have fallen into an enchantment," he said.

"What boundary?"

"Not sure yet. We didn't fall in the center of the enchantment, otherwise you might fall into a dream like me and never wake up."

"We landed in the same place, why didn't I fall into a dream, but you did?" Bai Xincha asked curiously.

"It may be because I was injured, the energy in the enchantment has a greater impact on me."

"Then let's escape quickly!"

Xu Liujun sat up on his back, furrowing his eyebrows in pain.Bai Xincha supported him, looked down, and found himself in trouble.

"It's too high here," Bai Xincha said worriedly, "it's okay to climb up, but it's difficult to go down. You will get hurt more. Our swords are all broken, so we can't control them."

"It's important to leave here." Xu Liujun tried to get up, but the broken rib made him sit back helplessly.

"Hey! Don't move yet, I have a solution!" Bai Xincha hurriedly stopped.He carefully avoided the place where Xu Liujun was wounded by the Duanyang Sword, and embraced him from behind.

"Get ready." Bai Xincha said.

"Brother Xincha, what are you doing?" Xu Liujun asked nervously in his arms.

Bai Xincha didn't say a word, leaned back and slid down the haystack.Although the straw is soft, it may hurt people if it slides too fast.Bai Xincha's clothes were scratched, and his arms and shoulders were bumped a few times. Fortunately, he was under Xu Liujun's body, which played a good cushioning effect.The two reached the ground smoothly, and he slowly helped Xu Liujun up, who looked at him movedly: "Brother Xincha..."

Bai Xincha smiled and waved his hands: "Let's find the exit first."

When Xu Liujun moved his arm, the wound hurt, so he had to point Bai Xincha to write a very complicated spell, saying that it could detect the weakest place in the barrier, and maybe he could rush out from there.

After Bai Xincha stumbled and finished writing, she admired Xu Liujun very much.The two walked for an unknown amount of time following the guidance of the spell, and the surroundings were still surrounded by the same piles of straw, the sun was still not setting, and the fields were shrouded in eerie silence.

Xu Liujun's face was solemn: "The energy of this enchantment maker is very huge. It seems that there is only one way now."

"What method?" Bai Xincha asked hurriedly.

"Go to the center of the enchantment and find him."

"and then?"

"defeat him."

Bai Xincha was speechless.

Part47

Finding the center of the enchantment is relatively easy.Xu Liujun changed a talisman, and the two of them followed its guidance through the forest and waded across the river. A stone tablet appeared in front of them, with the words "Xilin Town" written on it.Behind the stele is a rather big town, which can't be seen at a glance.The spell had fulfilled its purpose and vanished in the air.

"It's here." Xu Liujun said.

They walked in along the main road of Xilin Town.There are restaurants, inns and other shops in the town, but no one can be seen, and the air seems to be frozen in the afterglow of the setting sun.Bai Xincha took a chair from the teahouse and asked Xu Liujun to sit and rest. After searching the street for a while, he found a clerk in a pawnshop.The man was leaning against the counter, sleeping soundly with his eyes closed.

"Here's someone, come quickly!" Bai Xincha waved to Xu Liujun.

Xu Liujun walked over leaning on the branch he had picked up as a walking stick.The two gathered together and looked at the young man.

"Is he dead?" Xu Liujun asked.

"No," Bai Xincha said, "Look, he's still snoring." So he raised his voice and shouted, "The shopkeeper is here!"

The man purred louder.

Seeing that the buddy didn't respond, Xu Liujun bent down and touched his shoulder, trying to wake him up.Bai Xincha hurriedly stopped Xu Liujun: "Be careful. I touched your hand just now and entered your dream."

Xu Liujun withdrew his hand.

"Wait here for a while, I'll look around." Bai Xincha said.

"Be careful."

Bai Xincha went around to the back of the pawn shop, found a few houses that looked like they were lived in, and went in to have a look.This time he found more sleeping people.Some were leaning on the chairs; some were lying on the edge of the well, and some were lying peacefully on the bed, holding hands.The scene was as bizarre as it could be.

Bai Xincha hurried back to the pawn shop, while Xu Liujun was slowly moving down the stairs on the second floor.

"It seems to be a shopkeeper, who is also asleep." He said.

"They're all asleep." Bai Xincha was still panting, "No one is awake."

They continued to look at the snoring boy together.Xu Liujun thought for a while and said, "If we wait like this, the maker of the enchantment will not appear. We have to take some risks."

"How to say?"

"Enter his dream and wake him up. This may break the balance of the enchantment."

Bai Xincha was taken aback: "But didn't you say that if the owner of the dream doesn't wake up, other entrants can't come out of the dream?"

"That's right. But if we wait here, we will fall asleep sooner or later due to exhaustion and sleepiness. This is the center of the enchantment, and the energy is extremely strong. It will not be so easy to wake up at that time. So it's better to give it a go."

"Okay, I'll go in and give it a try."

"We want to go together." Xu Liujun said firmly.

Maybe it was because Xu Liujun was beside him, but Bai Xincha wasn't very scared.He held Xu Liujun's hand: "If we can't get out, let's count the stars in his dream."

Xu Liujun smiled: "Counting the stars is also very good."

They each stretched out a hand, hanging over the chap's hands.Bai Xincha counted: "Three, two, one." The two of them entered the misty darkness again.

Part48

Baixincha was awakened by the deafening noise and the smell of alcohol.Xu Liujun was still by his side, just opening his eyes.He looked left and right, and there were square tables surrounded by groups of people shouting and shouting around the tables, which was extremely lively.

"What is this place?" Xu Liujun asked.

Bai Xincha listened carefully to the shouts of the audience.

"Big! Big! Small! Open!..." "Seven o'clock! Seven o'clock! Wrong again!"

"It's a casino," he asserted.

"This is what the casino looks like..." Xu Liujun looked around strangely, but was pulled back by Bai Xincha: "Let's hurry up and find that guy."

The little guy was next to the table with the most people, surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside.After struggling for a long time, they finally squeezed to his side, and saw that he was proudly holding a large handful of silver into his arms.

With a gloomy face, the croupier put the dice back into the dice cup, shook them dozens of times angrily, and knocked them on the table angrily.

The people around urged: "Xiao Ba, tell me quickly. Big or small?"

It turned out that the boy was called Xiaoba.Xiaoba shouted vigorously: "Thirteen o'clock, big!"

Everyone bet quickly.The croupier lifted the dice cup, and the onlookers burst into cheers: "It really is thirteen o'clock! Little Iori!"

Bai Xincha and Xu Liujun watched a few rounds.The bets placed by Xiaoba in each round were completely accurate, and the money in his arms immediately overflowed.

"This is his dream." Xu Liujun was afraid that Bai Xincha might not be able to hear clearly in the noisy surroundings, so he leaned on his ear and said, "It is estimated that he always thinks about getting rich, and his dreams are full of these things."

Bai Xincha nodded, and went up to pull Xiao Ba.Xiao Ba turned his head impatiently: "What are you doing?"

Xu Liujun shouted at him: "Wake up! Do you know that you are dreaming?"

"Junior Brother Liu Jun, you are really direct." Bai Xincha said.

Xiao Ba looked at the two of them like they were fools: "Where do you come from crazy?"

Bai Xincha explained: "This is not reality, but your dream. Don't you wonder why you are so accurate in every game? We are here to rescue you."

"Ahahahaha!" Xiao Ba pointed at them, but turned his face to the crowd and said, "They actually said that I was dreaming, and they want to save me? Let me see if it is a dream?" He pinched his face with his hands : "Tsk...it hurts!" The onlookers laughed loudly.Xiao Ba turned his back to them and waved his hands: "Go away, don't block me from getting rich!"

Bai Xincha wanted to say something more, but the casino bodyguards in full body had already separated from the crowd, holding him and Xu Liujun back.Bai Xincha quickly acted good, and lost a lot of smiling faces: "Acquaintances, acquaintances are here. Just kidding."

The bodyguard shook his fist at them and left.Xu Liujun frowned: "It seems that the energy of the enchantment here is so strong that it can even simulate pain. And if it interferes with his dream, it may be dangerous, such as the person who was going to hit us just now."

"Compared with your dream, his dream is too unfriendly." Bai Xin tea said.

Xu Liujun was amused by him
