I open the blind box in the demon world

Chapter 122 Old Earthly Dream
Feng Huixue...has she also fallen into this demonic dream?

It was hard for Lin Yuan to imagine that the beautiful girl from Fengyun Pavilion had turned into the country girl in front of him. She was washing her clothes by the river, as fresh as the continuous drizzle from the south of the Yangtze River.

Moreover, Feng Huixue's age seemed to have gotten younger, and her appearance was obviously much more youthful than before.

Could it be said that all the people who entered the secret realm of Tiannan Mountain before were involved and became a character in this inner demon's dream?
So... Yun Qieyue, Chu Changhe and the others are also among them?
Are these people, including me, trapped in a dream forever?
Lin Yuan shook his head. He didn't know how to break the situation, or even whether it was possible to break the situation. Maybe they were all dead, and now they were just the remaining souls.

Lin Yuan decided to get in touch with Feng Huixue. He wanted to test whether Feng Huixue had the memory of Fengyun Pavilion.

Feng Huixue and Xiao Huan were talking and laughing before. It seemed as if they had no memory of their past life at all, but had merged into the inner demon's dream.

But Lin Yuan would not just look at the appearance. He suspected that Feng Huixue might just be acting. In fact, she also knew that she was not from this world.

Like herself, she was also observing secretly, looking for ways to break the situation.

Lin Yuan watched Feng Huixue finish washing clothes and packing away the wooden basin and soap locust, and he followed quietly.

How to test it?
Lin Yuan was a little worried. He didn't know why he retained his memory, and he didn't know whether that giant eye was always paying attention to everything that happened in the inner demon's dream.

If you go up and reveal your identity directly, and the giant eye sees you, wouldn't you be like a wolf?

He had to find a way to let Feng Huixue know that he recognized her, but the giant eyes couldn't understand.

Lin Yuan touched in his arms and took out a book. Then he pretended to walk to the village casually, reading while walking.

After calculating Feng Huixue's route, Lin Yuan suddenly appeared from a corner.

The alley was originally narrow, and the bluestone road on the ground was still covered with moss and was very slippery. Feng Huixue was carrying a wooden basin and was walking cautiously. Lin Yuan suddenly appeared and startled her.

"Hey!"

She screamed softly, but stopped without haste and bumped directly into Lin Yuan, causing the clothes she had just washed to fall off!

Feng Huixue panicked, but at this moment, Lin Yuan held Feng Huixue up and held the wooden basin of clothes firmly with his other hand.

"Girl, are you okay?" Lin Yuan asked with concern.

"I...I'm fine." Feng Huixue had just recovered from the shock, and her chest was heaving violently. She was really frightened just now.

Realizing that she was still in Lin Yuan's arms, she quickly took a few steps back and said with a blush: "I'm sorry, I was walking carelessly..."

"I should apologize. I just lowered my head to read a book and didn't look at the road." Lin Yuantian lied shamelessly.

"Thank you, otherwise I would stain my clothes and I would be blamed when I go back." Feng Huixue thanked her coyly. She spent most of the day doing laundry and spent so much soap. If she had washed it in vain , Mom is going to blame her for being clumsy again.

Lin Yuan handed the barrel back to Feng Huixue. Their eyes met. Lin Yuan seemed to be distracted for a moment because of Feng Huixue's face. He said with emotion: "It seems like the moon is covered by light clouds." , fluttering like snow in the flowing wind."

When reciting this poem, Lin Yuan paid attention to every microexpression of Feng Huixue.

As long as Feng Huixue has some memory about her true identity, then she shouldn't have no reaction at all when one of her poems mentions the names Yun Qiyue and Feng Huixue at the same time.

However, Lin Yuan was disappointed.

When Feng Huixue heard Lin Yuan recite this poem, her face turned as red as an apple.

She was only one year older than Gou'er. Although Gou'er lost his parents at a young age, Gou'er himself was a scholar and handsome in appearance. She had long known that Xiaohuan had such an outstanding younger brother.

Just after she and the dog looked at each other, the dog looked at her face and chanted this poem.

Although she didn't understand the meaning of this poem, she vaguely felt that it seemed to be praising herself, and the poem was so beautifully written.

This made Feng Huixue's heart flutter. She took the barrel handed over by Lin Yuan and ran away as if running away.

Lin Yuan was left in the same place, messy in the wind.

What am I doing?
Am I here to pick up girls?
Lin Yuan smiled bitterly. It seemed that Feng Huixue didn't remember anything outside of the dream.

If Yun Qieyue, Bai Qingshu and others were also in this dream, I'm afraid they wouldn't remember anything.

You may be the only one who has memories of past lives.

Why am I the most special?
Lin Yuan didn't understand that his strength was not comparable to Feng Huixue's.

Firefly doesn’t know where she went either…

Lin Yuan tried to contact Ying mentally, but he couldn't contact Ying at all.

With a sigh, Lin Yuan walked aimlessly in the village.

After going round and round, he returned to his home.

Lin Yuan had an inexplicable premonition in his heart. As he lived in this world, maybe one day, he would completely integrate into this world.

From now on, he will become a character in the dream and never wake up.

"Dog, haven't you remembered what happened in the past?"

When Lin Yuan returned to the house, he saw that Xiaohuan had dried the washed clothes and was chopping firewood for cooking.

"I remembered something." Lin Yuan said perfunctorily.

He smelled the aroma of rice. His dinner was sweet potato porridge and two steamed eggs. For the villagers, eggs were definitely a luxury item.

Xiaohuan gave up two eggs to Lin Yuan and ate only sweet potato porridge.

Lin Yuan didn't refuse. After finishing the eggs without any interest, he saw Xiaohuan picking up the female worker beside him and continuing to do embroidery.

Xiaohuan couldn't bear to light the oil lamp. The sun had already set. Xiaohuan moved the female worker's desk to the window and continued embroidery in the afterglow of the setting sun.

As she raised her needle and thread, Lin Yuan could clearly see the eyes on her right arm, row by row...

This scene touched the soft part of Lin Yuan's heart.

With so many eyes on her back, does she know?

Is she...really...just evil?

While Xiaohuan was doing embroidery, she said to Lin Yuan without looking back: "The exam will be held in the spring of next year. My sister will give you a new pair of shoes. Dog, you wear new shoes to take the exam. You passed the exam." You are a Tong Sheng, if you pass the exam next time, you will be a scholar, and you won’t have to kneel even if you meet the county magistrate."

Xiaohuan was talking nonchalantly, and Lin Yuan felt a little sore in his nose for some reason. In this dream, Xiaohuan was really a living being...

It's a pity that Xiaohuan is Xiaohuan, but he is not a dog.

It was impossible to pass the exams for boys and girls. He could memorize three hundred Tang poems, but he had never read any of the classics and history collections.

Lin Yuan lit the oil lamp and placed it on Xiaohuan's table: "Sister, don't tire yourself too much. I'm going to sleep."

"Okay, you should rest early. Don't read books these days. You have just recovered from a serious illness, so take a good rest."

Lin Yuan returned to his room. Xiaohuan used an oil lamp for embroidery, but there was a candle placed on his desk.

Candles are much more expensive than oil lamps, but the advantage is that they burn brighter, produce less smoke, and are less harmful to the eyes.

He casually flipped through the books on the table. The first few books were enlightenment books similar to "The Thousand-Character Classic" and "The Three-Character Classic". Lin Yuan could understand these.

But when he turned to the Four Books and Five Classics, he was stunned.

These books are actually...blank?

Lin Yuan flipped through it again, and found that the one-foot-thick pile of books were all fake!
Why are there fake books on the dog’s desk?Could it be that... this guy squandered the money his sister gave him to buy books?Have to put up a bunch of fake books to show off?

"Forget it, I don't care about what these are doing, and I don't do scientific examinations anyway.

Just relying on the three hundred Tang poems I have memorized in my head, it would be damned if I could be admitted as a scholar. "

In the following days, Lin Yuan tried various methods to break the situation, but this inner demon dream was completely airtight.

He was really helpless, he had been living in a dream for several months.

He became more and more accustomed to the life here, and Xiaohuan took good care of him day after day.

She lived frugally and worked as a female worker to supplement her expenses. She also had to collect grass to feed chickens and pigs. She raised three chickens at home. Half of the eggs were sold for money, and the other half was eaten by Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan wanted to do something to help, but Xiao Huan blocked him back into the room. She always said one thing: "Just leave it to my sister to do it. Just warm up the book."

Lin Yuan really didn't know what to do. He often sat at his desk for a whole day.

Is he going to give up martial arts and become civilized?Will you switch to the imperial examination in the future?
Only by relying on a few enlightenment books can you succeed in the exam.

In this way, spring passed and autumn came, and a year passed.

Lin Yuan was 13 years old. One day he came home a little early, but accidentally bumped into Xiao Huan taking a bath in the house.

Xiaohuan was sitting in the barrel, scooping water and pouring it on himself.

Xiaohuan was startled and quickly sat in the water. Lin Yuan also quickly turned his back.

But the startling glimpse just now made Lin Yuan's heart sink.

He clearly saw that Xiao Huan's eyes had spread from his right arm to his shoulder.

As time goes by, will these eyes spread all over Xiaohuan's body?

If everything in the dream is a projection of reality, is this a sign that the giant eye is snatching away Ji Qingwu?
In other words, when the eyes are all over Xiaohuan's body, the giant eye's seizure of the body is completed.

By then, Ji Qingwu's body will be completely owned by it!
So this dream should be over, right?
Outsiders like myself, as members of the dream, will also die completely in the dream.

No matter how you look at it, it’s all doomed!
"Dog, why did you finish school so early today?" Xiaohuan said while huddled in the tub.

"Well, my husband has something to do at home today, so I came back a little early." Lin Yuan said as he exited the room:
After a while, Xiaohuan put on her clothes and opened the door and walked out. She said with a smile: "Gouzi, there is a happy event today! At noon, Mrs. Wang came to your door to kiss you. She was talking about the eldest girl of the Li family. …”

"Promise?" Lin Yuan was a little confused. He was not yet 14 years old, so he was considering getting married?
And the eldest girl of the Li family... isn't that Feng Huixue?

There are two girls from the Li family, the eldest girl is Feng Huixue, and the second girl is Yun Sheng Yue. Lin Yuan has seen the weird Yun Sheng Yue before.

The little girl turned back to her eight or nine-year-old appearance, with two braids on her head, which turned out to be a bit cute.It's just that with Xiao Nizi's xinxing level, if she is expected to think of things other than dreams, it is better to expect the sow to fly.

"Gouzi, I'm thinking that although the Li family girl is more than a year older than you, there are advantages to marrying an older wife. It can bring wealth, and the Li family girl can also take care of others.

Even though you are a bit young now, I will wait until you pass the county examination. You will be 14 years old by then. "

"Sister, I don't want to get married." Lin Yuan felt helpless. He couldn't think of getting married now, and he would only be able to pass the county examination.

When the time came to get engaged, the old man of the Li family took a look and thought, come on, the future son-in-law is a loser, he can't even pass the county examination, let alone the hospital examination and the provincial examination later.

After repeatedly failing, the old man of the Li family may regret it. When the time comes, he breaks off the engagement because he is ignorant and incompetent. Wouldn't it be a big shame?
However, Xiaohuan didn't know what Lin Yuan was thinking. She said in a consultative tone: "Gou'er, sister knows that you focus on your studies, but our family is no longer what it used to be. You will always have to make money in autumn. If the Li family Only with help can my sister be able to support you.

Moreover, I recognize Miss Yunyao. She is a person who knows how to live a good life, and she is very smart...

Besides, there are still men in the Li family. With the Li family here, no one will rob our few acres of land...

......"

Xiaohuan rambled, and the Yunyao she was talking about was Feng Huixue.

Now that it's all said and done, Lin Yuan really can't refuse.

He knew that wages had dropped again recently, and Xiaohuan could barely make two big bucks by working for several hours.

"Then...sister, I won't get engaged for now. Let's wait until I take the county examination."

Lin Yuan could only refuse in this way. When he failed the county examination, the old man of the Li family would not agree to the marriage.

"Okay, then... then I'll tell Granny Wang." Xiaohuan also guessed Lin Yuan's concerns.

However, Lin Yuan completely misjudged the importance the Li family attached to this marriage.

The Li family finally decided on the marriage.

The Li family was originally a well-to-do family in the village. The two girls in the family were both fair-skinned and beautiful. In recent years, the eldest girl Li Yunyao was about to leave the court, and the matchmaking process was about to cross the threshold.

People were wondering why the old man of the Li family fell in love with Ling Gouer.

That boy has no father or mother, and his family background is not good. This marriage is definitely a high-end one.

With the relationship of engagement, Li Yunyao ran to Ling's house from time to time, and also helped Xiaohuan wash clothes and feed chickens.

Li Yunyao and Xiao Huan were best friends. They usually lived together as girls, so the etiquette was quite acceptable.

Occasionally when she bumped into Lin Yuan, Li Yunyao would blush and look shy.

Every time at this time, Lin Yuan felt a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to face it next.

……

Time flies by like a flash, and it’s the beginning of spring again, and it’s time for Lin Yuan’s exam.

Lin Yuan put on the new shoes received by his sister, walked out of the village for the first time, and went to his house to take the exam.

Along the way, Lin Yuan felt something was wrong, because he didn't meet anyone, so he just walked to the county seat eating dry food and drinking water!
After arriving at the examination room, Lin Yuan found that the scene here was even weirder!
All the candidates here are shameless.

Looking at these faces without facial features and expressions, Lin Yuan remembered a Stephen Chow movie he had watched in his previous life. There was also a faceless man in that movie.

Lin Yuan was among a group of faceless people, looking at them like puppets, being searched mechanically, and then filing into the examination room.

Even though Lin Yuan had a calm mind, he felt terrified at this moment.

In this extremely weird atmosphere, he sat down for the exam.

The examiner who invigilated the exam was also a faceless person. When the papers were handed out, there was not a single word on them and they were all blank.

Lin Yuan was dumbfounded.

How do you test this?
Originally, he had also learned something from his private school teacher this year. He could answer some basic questions in the exam, and he also had a foundation in ancient Chinese from his previous life.

If he encounters some questions that are right for him, he might be able to get special admission by copying some ancient texts from past lives.

He never expected that this exam would be so weird.

The candidates are all faceless people, and the test paper is also faceless - completely blank.

The county examination was completed in a blur, and then came the government examination.

The same is a blank test paper.

Lin Yuan did not write a word during the two exams.

In a few days, the list will be released!

Lin Yuan was already planning to pack his things and go home. He felt that just coming here was a tragedy.

The world might have gone crazy and he seemed out of place in it.

However, he never expected it.

He has won the Gold List!

Several officers came to his inn beating gongs and drums to announce the good news to him.

Not only did he pass the county and prefectural examinations, but he was also No. 1 in both the county and prefecture examinations, which was the first in both cases.

"Chief Ling, congratulations, congratulations!"

Several faceless government officials surrounded Lin Yuan to congratulate him, and the candidates who lived in the same inn also came to congratulate him.

Being surrounded by so many faceless people, Lin Yuan felt a little nervous.

There was no joy at all in his heart.

How did I pass the exam?
If you get a blank test paper and don't write a word, can you still be successful in high school?
……

The team announcing the good news went all the way to the village.

It's okay to pass the exam as a child student, but it's different if you're the top candidate in both the county exam and the government exam.

If Lin Yuan can also be the first in high school in the next college examination, he will be Xiao Sanyuan.

This is an incredible achievement, rarer than Jinshi.

Xiao Huan was extremely happy. Her siblings had suffered too much bullying over the years, but now they were finally proud.

The uncle and the third uncle, who were originally very mean to them, came to congratulate them sourly and reluctantly gave them gifts.

They were worried that Lin Yuan would give them little shoes to wear if he won the imperial examination or even the imperial examination.

The old man of the Li family acted very quickly. He directly decided on an auspicious day and planned to get married first!

Although the marriage has been arranged, the old man of the Li family still feels that it is not safe. What if the son-in-law runs away in the future, and the girl's family is cancelled, so how can she marry in the future?
Although Gou'er is quite honest now, he might change his mind when he goes to the provincial capital and sees the colorful world!
Besides, Li Yunyao is already fifteen, which is not too young for a girl in the village. She will be a grown-up girl in two years, and it will be difficult to get married.

You have to make cooked rice from raw rice!
In this way, Lin Yuan got married in a daze.

On the day of the marriage ceremony, Lin Yuan saw the old man of the Li family who was smiling from ear to ear.

It turns out...he is Feng Ruicheng.

It was hard for Lin Yuan to imagine that the elder who had cultivated to the third level in Fengyun Pavilion and had been thinking about the old man who was plucking wool from his body had actually turned into a countryman.

This year, Lin Yuan was 14 years old and Feng Huixue was 15 years old.

In order to get married, the old man of the Li family spent a lot of money to build three tile-roofed houses for Lin Yuan and his daughter, bought brand-new furniture, prepared new clothes and new bedding as a dowry, and gave Lin Yuan a donkey cart to go to school. use.

Lin Yuan was sitting in his new house, with bright red words of happiness posted on the wall. The flame of the red candle danced in front of his eyes, and the twisted heat blurred the red hijab girl in front of him.

Like a dream, like an illusion, like a fake but like a real...

Lin Yuan sat quietly for a while, and the little girl sat on the kang waiting for him.

She was quiet and silent. Just looking at her little hands that had nowhere to rest, one could sense the girl's nervousness and embarrassment at this time.

Finally, Lin Yuan took off the red hijab.

The girl in the hijab has her pretty face lowered and her cheeks flushed.

Lin Yuan was in a daze for a moment.

It seems as if the moon is covered by light clouds, and flutters like the snow covered by the flowing wind...

……

The next day, the sun shone on Lin Yuan's face. Looking at the girl who was still sleeping on the kang, Lin Yuan felt as if he was in another world.

Is all this really a dream?
He fell asleep in a dream and woke up in a dream.

If it weren't for the eyes that gradually spread on Xiaohuan's arm, if it weren't for the weird faceless people and wordless test papers in the examination room, Lin Yuan would really have regarded this world as reality.

"Ling Lang, you're awake." Feng Huixue sat up with a red face, "You can sleep a little longer, I'll cook."

Although the Li family was wealthy, they were not wealthy enough to hire maids for both ladies. They could do laundry, cooking, weaving, etc. Feng Huixue could do everything.

"Just rest, I'm not hungry."

Lin Yuan said, but Feng Huixue still got up.

But at this time, Xiaohuan had already walked in with the washed rice. She said with a smile: "Bride, please don't touch the cold water. You can't stand the cold water in this new spring."
