Chapter 445 Xanadu【Ask for a monthly pass! 】
An antique long street, sitting on the side of the street enjoying the coolness of the old people, shaking cattail fans and chatting leisurely. Children ran past in groups, leaving a string of crisp laughter wherever they went.
Half the street is full of teahouses, and there are more people drinking tea and chatting inside, and there are faint sounds of mahjong.
Being in it only feels full of leisure and comfort.
When Chu Liang woke up, he found that he was in a medical clinic. After walking out of the gate of the hospital, what I saw was such a scene.
"Dream Fairy Kingdom?"
He went back to the medical hall again, looking at the white-bearded old doctor, he was full of doubts for a while.
In Chu Liang's memory, he only remembers that everyone was looking for the Abyss of Mianmeng, but they encountered a change in the abyss and were accidentally pulled into it. I thought I was going to fall into the abyss, but why did I come here in the blink of an eye?
"Yes." The white beard doctor replied with a smile: "It was the people who went up the mountain to find the two of you and sent them to me. Why, you are not from my Dreamland?"
"The two of us? Who else?" Chu Liang asked first.
"This is the little girl." The old man gently opened the curtain on the other side, revealing Tang Shi's petite figure.
Maybe it was disturbed by the sound, Tang Shi's eyelids wrinkled and slowly opened.
Immediately, she fell into the same doubts as Chu Liang.
"Dream Fairy Kingdom? What is this place?"
"Our place is the fairyland opened up by Master Mengxian. It is said that there is a long distance between us and the outside world. No one has ever been able to go out, and no one has ever come in..." the old man introduced gently.
It seems that even if he has never seen outsiders, he does not have any rejection.
"This is really..." Chu Liang scratched his head, "Unexpected."
He originally thought that behind the Abyss of Sleeping Dreams was the mountain palace where he met Gu Qingyuan last time, but after hearing what Xue Ziyang said, it was another dilapidated battlefield... Why has it turned into some kind of Dreamland now?
The old man didn't know anything about Mianmengzhiyuan and Zhennanyu Mountain, saying that he had never heard of such a place in Mengxian Country.
Feeling helpless for a while, Chu Liang had no choice but to go out with Tang Shi for a stroll to investigate the situation.
The old man in the hospital said very kindly that if the two of them had no place to stay, they could return to him later.
Chu Liang naturally thanked him.
Afterwards, Tang Shi and Tang Shi walked out of the medical clinic and looked around along the street.
Everywhere you see, people in almost the entire city are like this, drinking tea, drinking alcohol, playing mahjong, eating hot pot, children playing games, old people chatting, and young adults are also like this.
"There seems to be nothing strange..." Tang Shi whispered.
"No, it's very strange." Chu Liang shook his head and said, "Didn't you find that...the people here don't have jobs?"
"Eh?" Tang Shi was startled by these words.
She grew up in the fairy gate, and this concept is not deep in her mind, but Chu Liang is extremely sensitive to it.
In the whole city, no one is working, regardless of old, middle-aged and young. This seems extremely strange to him.
What do they live on?
With doubts in their hearts, the two returned to the medical center and asked the old man, "Old man, I walked around the city, why didn't I see anyone working?"
"Work?" The old man blinked when he heard the word, as if it was a little strange.
"If you want anything, just go to the holy mountain and make a wish." The old man pointed to the east, "There are holy envoys who practice dream art on the mountain, and they will send everything you want to your home."
Chu Liang looked at the direction of his finger, and through the distant pavilions, he could indeed see the shadow of a corner of the vast mountain.
There is still such a place?
Chu Liang blinked.
In addition to being surprised, I was also a little envious.
…
"Hoo...hoo..."
Tang Shi sat obediently on a cushion, blew on the teacup in her hand, and the smoke slowly rose.
Chu Liang and the elders of the medical center also sat here, drinking tea and chatting.
Just now, the old man explained the origin of this place to them in detail.
It is said that thousands of years ago, the ancient Dream Immortal opened up this piece of fairy land and brought the ancestors here, and since then there has been Dream Immortal Kingdom.
In Mengxian Kingdom, there is no monarch or subject, and there is no difference between rich and poor. Everyone is born leisurely, lives lazily, and dies comfortably. Every time a person dies, a newborn will be born.
So the population of Mengxian Country remains unchanged.
And some of these people will have the talent to practice "dream art", and they will be selected to become holy envoys. Dream art is the fairy art left by the legendary Meng Xianzun, which can create everything out of nothing.
If you need anything, go to the holy mountain and ask the holy envoy to create it, and then someone will deliver it to your home. Of course, if the wish is too outrageous, the envoy will not be fulfilled.
Chu Liang was thinking while listening.
He heard Wei Lang mention the name of the ancient Great Dream Immortal Venerable before.
Of course, the immortals here do not refer to real immortals, but the names given to some of the eighth realm Tianyuan powerhouses in that era. At that time, the immortal dynasty conferred nine immortals, all of whom were top powerhouses in the eighth realm.
The Great Dream Immortal also happens to rely on "dream skills" to travel across Kyushu. Could it be that he created the entire Dreamland with his supernatural powers?
"It really is like a paradise." After listening to it, he said with emotion, "There is no danger, no war, no oppression, no work... All you need to do is make a wish. It is really a place only dreamed of..."
"Hmm..." The old man suddenly said with a serious expression, "Mengxian Country is not absolutely free from danger, I was just about to remind you."
"Oh?" The two immediately listened carefully.
"The original Mengxian Kingdom may be a pure land without any danger, but just three thousand years ago, a huge monster descended from the sky... The holy envoys called it 'Nightmare', and that monster turned into a monster mountain."
"From now on, whenever the moon is full, the moon in the sky will turn into blood, and there will be nightmare beasts coming down from the monster mountain to eat people." The old man mentioned this, and his expression showed fear for the first time, "Those nightmare beasts It's ever-changing and extremely terrifying. Fortunately, there are holy envoys guarding Mengxian Kingdom, as long as we are careful, we can escape the catastrophe."
"Blood Moon... Nightmare Beast..." Chu Liang frowned slightly when he heard these familiar things.
This place seems to be isolated from the outside world, but everything seems to be inextricably linked. A guess arose in his mind, but he couldn't confirm it for a while.
"Oh." The old man said suddenly, "It seems to be the night of the blood moon tonight, you must stay in my clinic, don't sleep, and never go out when you hear any noise. As long as you don't sleep If you don't go out, then the nightmare beast will have nothing to do with you."
"Why is this?" Chu Liang asked.
"This is our three thousand years of experience in fighting nightmare beasts." The old man said seriously: "If you sleep, the nightmare beast will appear from the dream. If you go out, and the light of the blood moon falls on you, you will immediately fall into madness! Beast-like existence!"
Hearing this, Chu Liang's mind suddenly flashed.
He seems to know why those people died suddenly!
Good morning.
