Since ancient times, sand devils have conquered villains

Although Shi Dai couldn't feel any pain, the wound was across her fingertips and the blood was really flowing.

Jiang Baiyan knew how to exercise restraint and did not lick for too long. When his eyes regained clarity, he released Shi Dai's fingers.

After a while, his index finger was filled with wet water and felt numb from being rubbed by him.
Her mind was burning, and Shi Dai quickly withdrew.

She felt that she should say something at this moment to break the disturbing silence: "Does it still hurt?"

Nonsense but effective.
Shi Dai forced herself to calm down and waited for Jiang Baiyan's response.

"It doesn't hurt, thank you."
Jiang Baiyan smiled: "Don't forget to stop the bleeding."

Shi Dai nodded, and just as he took out the wound medicine from his sleeve pocket, he saw a handkerchief handed to him.

Jiang Baiyan said softly: "Just wipe it."

Shi Dai:......
He was pointing to the place where he had just been sucked.

Drinking blood was originally a harmless act, but with the tip of Jiang Baiyan's tongue, it had a vague and indescribable meaning for no reason.

Shi Dai thanked her, wiped off the water stains on her fingertips, and applied the ointment without forgetting to remind her: "You should stop bleeding soon."

With Jiang Baiyan's temper, he probably thought this was a minor injury that he didn't need to worry about.

Jiang Baiyan obediently agreed, handling the knife edge casually while lowering his eyes and holding his breath, feeling the pain on his index finger.

The threads are endless, penetrating into the body skin——
This was caused by the pain in Shi Dai's body.

He was becoming one with her pain.

From this, pain becomes the ultimate pleasure.

Jiang Baiyan was greedy and wanted to taste more, but the pain intensified and Shi Dai was bound to bleed.
Bleeding is not a good thing, she doesn't like it.

Jiang Baiyan had no choice but to suppress his crazy thoughts.

After worrying all night tonight, the blood poison was finally contained, and Shi Dai removed the stone hanging in her heart.
The bleeding stopped quickly, and she stared at her index finger, satisfied: "It's done——!"

It is indeed a special medicine for suppressing Essence. Not long after it was applied, the bleeding stopped.

Shi Dai turned her head and confirmed that Jiang Baiyan's wounds had been covered with ointment: "Let's go meet Yun Sheng and the others."

Being inexplicably involved in this illusion, their top priority is to find an exit as soon as possible.

It seems that no matter what time, she is always full of energy.
Looking at the raised corners of Shi Dai's mouth, Jiang Baiyan nodded: "Okay."

Leaving behind the copper pillar, he saw Shi Yunsheng in the distance. He was whispering something to Nie Zhan, and the two were very close.
In memory, this was the first time Shi Yunsheng showed intimacy to a stranger.

When Shi Dai got closer, she realized that it was Nie Zhan who was using the Spiritual Speech Technique.

The so-called "word spirit" means that the words are followed by the law, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is used to make the spoken words come true.

Of course, there is a lot to be said for the art of speaking, and it is by no means just what you say.
Sentences such as "I picked up 100 taels of silver when I went out" or "I improved by leaps and bounds overnight" are whimsical nonsense and cannot achieve anything.

In Shi Dai's impression, the stronger your cultivation level, the more things you can create with the magic of speaking.

Confucian students cultivate Taoism through literature. When they first start to learn Taoism, if they say "gurgling water", they can get a drop of clear spring; if they say "a spark that starts a prairie fire", they can get a spark.
When he becomes stronger and reaches the realm of calligraphy sage, he can use "water from the Yellow River to come up from the sky" to cause huge floods.

At the moment, Nie Zhan was standing next to a copper pillar after taking some time off, and said with a smile: "Brother, look at this - 'glimpsing shadow'."

Being able to break into the top three in the martial arts competition shows that this Confucian scholar is extremely proficient.
As he moved his right hand, the light and shadow under his palm changed, and a hare running in the forest appeared.

The shadows of the trees rustled, the hare jumped lightly, and suddenly another black shadow suddenly jumped out.

Nie Zhan chuckled and said, "The hungry tiger pounces on its food!"

The tiger waiting for an opportunity swallows the rabbit in one gulp, light and dark overlap, and the scene disappears without a trace.

Shi Yunsheng opened his mouth slightly and stared blankly at the ground, his eyes flashing brightly.
After all, he is a child, and he likes this kind of novel and interesting magic the most.

Nie Zhan raised his chin and said proudly: "How is it? It's awesome."

Shi Yunsheng:?
By "awesome", you just mean teasing children?
Looking away from the shadow, Shi Yunsheng suppressed his surprise: "It's not bad."

"Just okay?"
Nie Zhan: "If it doesn't work, I'll change it into another one for you."

He frowned in thought, and in a blink of an eye, he caught a glimpse of Shi Dai and Jiang Baiyan.

"Miss Shi, Mr. Jiang."
Nie Zhan smiled: "How is Master Jiang's injury?"

Jiang Baiyan: "It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."

"Shall we move on?"
Shi Dai looked around: "This place... seems to be indistinguishable from east to west."

Big problem.
The scenery in all directions is very different. When you are in it, you don't know where to go next.

Once you choose the wrong direction and run counter to the exit, all your efforts will be in vain.
The premise is that there really is an exit in the illusion.

"There are more than a dozen people present at tonight's banquet."
Shi Dai said: "It has been more than half an hour since we entered here, and until now, we haven't even seen the shadow of anyone else."

When you find yourself alone in a strange place, your first reaction is to find a companion.
Look at the current situation...

Shi Dai said: "The illusion may be bigger than we imagined."

Nie Zhan lamented: "We won't be trapped and die here, will we?"

"The illusion is vast and requires a lot of spiritual energy."
Jiang Baiyan's tone was flat and understated: "Ordinary people can't last more than a day."

"Moreover, the fantasy unfolds at Baili's house."
Shi Dai answered: "There are so many maids and servants in Baili's house. If they notice that there is no sound at the banquet, they must go into the house to investigate."

After finding the house empty, Baili's family will go to Zhen'esi to report the crime.

In short, they don't have to worry about being trapped in the formation for a long time.

"If you want me to watch, just stay where you are."
Nie Zhan said: "It's hard to say how big this ghost place is. It's better to wait and see what happens and see the next move of the people who set up the formation."

Shi Dai also thought about this idea, but did not refute when she heard this: "Indeed... wandering around like a headless fly will only waste your energy."

I don’t know how Shen Liushuang is doing.
It's a pity that Dazhao doesn't have a loudspeaker, otherwise she would go all the way and broadcast, and the effect would be great to find people.

The deceased this time was Baili Xiao. None of the four people present were familiar with him and knew nothing about the case.

Nie Zhan had a headache: "He just trapped us in the illusion and didn't do anything to us. What do the masterminds behind the scenes think? If they want to kill or behead us, please give us a guarantee."
After saying that, he gritted his teeth and said, "I just want to come to Baili's house to have a meal."

Why is it so unlucky?

Jiang Baiyan said: "The murderer may still kill others."

Shi Dai: "Huh?"

"The illusion is vast and everyone is scattered."
Jiang Baiyan explained: "If you want to attack someone, this is the best time."

This place is like a hunting ground exclusively for the murderer. That person can enjoy the miserable situation of the prey in panic and desperation, and then kill it without anyone noticing.

Jiang Baiyan has seen countless evil cultivators and villains, and is very familiar with the minds of these people.
To be precise, he is one of them.

"kill?"
Nie Zhan was shocked: "Who to kill? People from the Baili family?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he glanced into the distance with his peripheral vision, and his eyes widened in shock: "Look behind you!"

What happened behind?
Shi Dai turned around and was also stunned.

Purgatory was empty, and at the distant junction of heaven and earth, an extremely strange procession came.

The leader is two figures, one black and one white, holding iron chains in both hands, and they are extremely tall.
The white one has a long tongue and a pale face, while the black one is broad and strong with a cold aura, just like the legendary black and white impermanence that seduces people.

Behind Wu Chang, there are a large number of bull-headed, horse-faced and chaotic imps, ghostly figures, surrounding a prison car.

After seeing the scene in the prison car clearly, Shi Dai held Shi Yunsheng's right hand and said, "If you are afraid, close your eyes."

He is not afraid.
The child responded softly and did not break away from her hand.

The prison car was made of copper, and as expected, the person in the car was Baili Xiao who died in a miserable state.

The clothes were burned to pieces, leaving only a few pieces of fabric hanging in front of him.
The exposed skin was horrible to look at, with cracks and burns everywhere, and the back was covered in blood, with not a single good piece of meat.

Due to the tremendous pain he suffered during his lifetime, Bailixiao died without closing his eyes, with his eyes wide open and red, and his facial features ferocious.

Nie Zhan had never seen such a miserable situation before, and he was stunned: "Oh my god..."

"The sinner Baili Xiao."
The leader, Bai Wuchang, had a smile on his face, and his voice was not loud, but it rang clearly in his ears: "Set fire to seek death, and you will be sentenced to six levels of copper pillar purgatory, and suffer the punishment of being burned for a hundred years."

Sure enough, it was to punish those guilty of arson.
Shi Dai's heart moved slightly as a white shadow flashed across her peripheral vision.

——Jiang Baiyan turned a blind eye to the terrifying monsters and monsters, and jumped onto the top of the prison car.

Nie Zhan was frightened by his move:?

"Wow."
Nie Zhan was amazed: "How brave is this brother?"

Shi Dai was not surprised: "He must have seen that those brats were not hostile."
If so, Jiang Baiyan would unsheath his sword without hesitation.

The copper car could not be broken open from the outside. Jiang Baiyan stood on the top of the prison car and looked at the situation inside.

A burning stench hit his face, and in Baili Xiao's frozen expression, apart from pain, there was obvious fear.
He must have cried, his eyes were frighteningly red, and then——

Jiang Baiyan's eyes paused.

The corpse was in a kneeling position, as if begging for forgiveness. There was an eye-catching stab wound on the heart.
The knife penetrated the heart cleanly, leaving a large area of ​​blood around.

Judging from the bright red color of the blood, it was an injury sustained during his lifetime.

Like the ghost fanning beside the copper pillar, Black and White Wuchang didn't care about Jiang Baiyan. He looked back and moved on.

Jiang Baiyan jumped out of the prison car and explained the scene he saw concisely and comprehensively.

"Knife wound?"
Nie Zhan pondered: "Didn't Baili Xiao get burned to death?"

"Ah."
Jiang Baiyan said: "The blade of the knife is straight, and he is familiar with it. The murderer is very good at knife skills."

"At the banquet, we saw Baili Xiao alive."
Nie Zhan grabbed a handful of hair randomly: "The murderer wanted to kill him and then arranged all this... That guy must be in the illusion. How to catch him?"

What responded to him was the sound of a bell.
When the bell is rung, it often means peace and tranquility, which is reassuring.
However, in purgatory at this time, it has a different meaning.

The sound of the bell echoed, faintly and endlessly, like a reminder of death everywhere, making my heart panic.
Then came a sharp laugh: "The sixth level of purgatory is full."

It’s the strange sound before the illusion begins!
Shi Yunsheng clenched the long knife, showed a defensive posture, and took a step closer to Shi Dai.

"Welcome our new guests."
The male-female voice spread in all directions, giggling and saying: "Enter the first level of purgatory."

Shi Yunsheng wondered: "First level?"

"The first level of hell."
Jiang Baiyan said: "Pull out the tongue."

As the name suggests, tongue-pulling prison punishes those who sow discord and slander and lie.
In this level of purgatory, sinners have to endure the torture of pulling out their tongues and the pain is unbearable.

In the empty and distant purgatory, a bell rang again.
Wei Yin kept laughing, and his tone was almost distorted: "New guest name——"

"Bai Liliang."

*
After the strange sound ended, the illusion suddenly changed.

The towering copper pillars disappeared one after another, and the sky became darker, as if covered with blood.

Inside it, Yan Qinghuan swallowed.

outrageous.
He has lived peacefully in Jiangnan for 17 years, and has never encountered such a bizarre thing.

——What happened to the Baili family to cause such big trouble?
After looking around for a while, Yan Qinghuan grasped the silver needle in his palm.
The Thirteen Needles of the Gate of Ghosts are not only effective on humans, but also on demons and ghosts.

The words of the strange sound were like a sentence, and when it was finished, the fantasy world became a tongue-pulling hellscape.

A group of figures were tied to the iron pillars, kneeling on the ground and forced to raise their heads.
The kid stood in front of the figure, holding iron pliers, picked up the person's tongue, and repeatedly tore and pulled it.

The sound of wailing and crying was endless, and the cold wind blew straight into the bones.

"Don't worry."
Yan Qinghuan looked at the person behind him: "I tested it out, and the kid here won't hurt anyone."

As far as the eye can see, there are two pale-faced women.
Mistress Ye Wanxing and an ordinary-looking girl.

Suffering too much fright, Ye Wanxing was no longer as calm as usual. His face was as pale as paper and he was silent.

Next to her is Qing'er, the personal maid.

"Master Yan."
Qing'er's eyes turned red from crying: "Why do we still need to die? We don't know how to..."

She trembled with fear at her own suspicion.

"Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door."
Wiping away the cold sweat on his palms, Yan Qinghuan forced a smile: "The ones punished by hell are all guilty people. Didn't that voice say that? Third Uncle Xiao once set a fire, so -"

The deceased was the most important, so he did not say any more.
Yan Qinghuan took a deep breath and changed the subject: "If we are really in trouble, I will do my best to protect you." He said it.
It's one of the lines in the script that I want to say, "I protect you"!
But I couldn't be happy at all.
Because he himself was very scared.

Yan Qinghuan stared at the sky bitterly.

But in front of him, one was the pampered mistress of the Baili family, and the other was a young girl who knew nothing about strange powers and chaos.
Once he showed a look of fear, the two of them would be in chaos and even more panicked.

Yan Qinghuan took a deep breath and straightened his body.

"Besides, we can meet more people as we go forward."
Yan Qinghuan said with a smile: "It will be safe then."

Although the murderer may also be hiding in the middle.
Yan Qinghuan swallowed these words back in his throat and did not scare them.

"Thank you Qing Huan."
Ye Wanxing tried his best to smile and said: "When something like this happens, our family..."

She couldn't go on and shuddered as she didn't know what she thought of.
When Ye Wanxing calmed down, his face turned pale.

Several little ghosts walked slowly, sensing the aura of strangers, they tilted their heads towards the three of them.
The ghost has no facial features, but a strong sense of oppression follows it. Looking at it, fear is like a wave, spreading from the soles of the feet to the top of the head.

Qing'er trembled and took a step forward, blocking Ye Wanxing behind her.

Yan Qinghuan knew that the ghost shadow would not hurt anyone, so he protected the two of them and looked sideways.

Ye Wanxing has always been indifferent to mood and anger, and always has a smile on his face no matter where he is.
So she is so timid?Or...

The kid turned around and left dragging the chain.

Qing'er's teeth chattered: "Madam, are you okay?"

Ye Wanxing nodded.

Yan Qinghuan asked, "Aunt Ye is afraid of ghosts?"

"Exactly."
Touching his chest lightly, Ye Wanxing's breath was unsteady, but his tone was still soft: "When I was walking at night when I was a child, I bumped into a ghost once, and then I became afraid of it. I made you laugh."

"The voice said that the 'guest' in this hell is Uncle Liang."
Yan Qinghuan was a little troubled: "We don't know where he is at all... Huh?"

Yan Qing had a happy meal.
The calmness he had managed to maintain shattered all over the ground. Yan Qinghuan jumped up suddenly and waved his arms high: "Shi Dai! Bai Yan! Brother Yun Sheng!"

What does it mean to meet an old friend after a long drought?
He finally!I met my companions!
Shi Dai was overjoyed and waved to him with a smile: "Are you okay? Are you injured?"

After the illusion changed, Jiang Baiyan and others were not teleported away.
They walked and walked, and actually met Yan Qinghuan face to face.

According to Yan Qinghuan, the young girl next to him is Ye Wanxing's personal maid.

Ye Wanxing looked haggard, and most of the pearls in his hair had fallen off, but he still retained a bit of the demeanor of a matron. When he saw them, he smiled solemnly: "I wish you were safe."

Qing'er has an oval face, plain features, delicate and obedient, but her lips tremble slightly because she is too scared.

"There are many maids and servants in Baili Mansion."
Nie Zhan said bluntly: "They came in to deliver food and wine and found the room empty. Can't they just report it to Zhen'Esi?"

"No one came in within a short period of time."
Ye Wanxing hesitated and said: "The food and wine are all ready. This servant knows the rules and will not break in without permission."

As for the servants serving beside him, they were all pulled into the illusion just like Qing'er.

Shi Dai made mental preparations: "They won't notice anything wrong until no one comes out of the banquet hall tomorrow morning."

A group of people are trapped in a confined space and die one after another. Isn't this the most common Blizzard Villa pattern in mystery novels.
It’s still very characteristic of Dazhao.

Shi Dai was more interested in another question: "Who is Bai Liliang?"

"He who is separated from his family, he talked to Axiang during the banquet."
Ye Wanxing said: "The one in purple robe and white face without beard."

Shi Dai remembered.
He was a middle-aged man who was polite to Shen Liushuang and greeted her as soon as they met.

"A Liang is known for his good temper."
Ye Wanxing had a gloomy look on his face: "Who would attack him?"

Jiang Baiyan had no intention of saying polite words to her, and went straight to the point: "Mrs. Ye, does she know anything about the whole story of this case?"

Ye Wanxing was startled and shook his head: "I don't know what the two brothers did."

She pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Baili Xiao has a cold temperament and is a bit domineering on weekdays. But I have never heard of him setting fires."

Ye Wanxing said: "Bai Liliang is more disciplined. He comes from a different family, is kind to others, diligent and down-to-earth. He has never even had a fight with anyone. He has made several shops prosperous by himself."
At this point, her voice trembled: "Could he... really have his tongue pulled out?"

"When we inspected Bailixiao's body, all the blood on his chest had solidified."
Jiang Baiyan said: "Calculating the time, he should have died when the first illusion started."

Shi Dai understood the implication: "Now that the second illusion has begun, the murderer may have already attacked Baili Liang?"

The earlier the murder is committed, the better for the murderer.
It will be difficult to kill Baili Liang after he joins the others.

Yan Qinghuan was stunned: "What's the blood stain on the chest? Wasn't Baili Xiao burned to death?"

He had seen a prison car surrounded by hundreds of ghosts from a distance, and remembered that Baili Xiao was covered in burns.

"Jiang Baiyan took a closer look."
Shi Dai said: "There was a stab wound on his chest, one stab through the heart."

"A knife through the heart?"
Ye Wanxing suddenly said: "The edge of the knife...is it a straight line?"

Jiang Baiyan raised his eyes: "Yes."

Nie Zhan was curious: "What's the significance of this?"

"You come from a foreign country and don't know anything."
Ye Wanxing said: "There is a knight in the south of the Yangtze River... who punishes and eliminates evil. He is good at using swords."

When it comes to this issue, Yan Qinghuan has the most say, and quickly adds:
"This person's identity is unknown. No one knows his age, appearance, or even whether he is a boy or a girl. Because he often kills people with a knife through the heart, he is known as the 'heart-cutting knife'."

From what he had read in the book, many characters were based on this person.

Listen to the description... Has the Heart-Zhancing Sword come to Yuezhou and Baili Mansion?

"It is rumored that the Heart-Zipping Sword kills people, and it emphasizes killing with one blow."
Ye Wanxing said: "I have never used illusions and involved so many people like today. Is it possible that someone used the heart-cutting knife as an excuse to harm people in this name?"

"possible."
Yan Qinghuan nodded: "Besides... there shouldn't be anyone at the banquet who is a Heart-Slashing Sword, right?"

Seeing Shi Dai's confusion, Yan Qinghuan explained to her:
"Ever since I was born, the name of the Heart-Zhancing Sword has spread. Counting his age, the youngest one is 40 years old."

Excluding the juniors present, only the Baili family members remained.
Yan Qinghuan felt that no one looked like that swordsman.

"The Heart-Zipping Sword has appeared all over the Yangtze River. Its whereabouts are unpredictable, coming and going in the wind and rain."
Yan Qinghuan said: "The elders of the Baili family are busy doing business and can't get away from Yuezhou."

The clues were interrupted here, and Shi Dai thought hard.

Regardless of whether it is the real person or an impostor, the murderer must have a special reason for killing people using the heart-cutting knife.

She knew very little about Yuezhou and couldn't think of a reason. She heard Nie Zhan say: "What should we do next?"

It has been more than half an hour since I was sucked into the illusion.
He moved forward aimlessly, and now his legs were so sore that they turned into limp noodles.

Shi Dai said without hesitation: "Stay here and rest for a while."
She pointed to the iron pillar standing not far away: "It's just a good place to lean against."

If Nie Zhan was amnesty, he clenched his fists excitedly: "Miss Shi is wise!"

There were little ghosts in twos and threes surrounding the iron pillar. Ye Wanxing glanced at them for a few times without saying much.
Qing'er was so horrified that she didn't dare to raise her head, so she followed the lady obediently and spread a handkerchief on the ground for her to avoid sitting on the dust and mud.

Yan Qinghuan was also very tired. He leaned against the iron pillar, and his tense nerves relaxed a little.
Shi Yunsheng was full of energy. He looked around and reached out to tease the kid.

Shi Dai sat down carelessly, rested her forehead on one hand, and looked at Jiang Baiyan: "Do you want to sleep for a while?"

Jiang Baiyan: "What?"

"Didn't you spend a lot of energy to transfer the pain?"
Shi Dai looked like "I know everything" and grinned: "You didn't sleep last night, right?"

Last night, she and Jiang Baiyan were busy because of the shark pearl dealer. When they saw him today, Jiang Baiyan had a faint green look under his eyes.

He didn't sleep enough, he had a blood poison attack, and his spiritual energy was exhausted. Even an iron man couldn't endure trekking in the illusion for so long.

So when Nie Zhan asked about the next plan, Shi Dai subconsciously said "rest".

Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes and smiled.
He sat all night yesterday without falling asleep.

Rest was not important to him. When he was hunting monsters and ghosts in the past, Jiang Baiyan tried not to sleep for three days and two nights.
No matter what, it's good to have one life left.

Faced with Shi Dai's proposal, he couldn't say no.

"Go to sleep, go to sleep."
Shi Dai patted her chest: "You can just take a nap for a while. As long as I'm here, nothing will happen."

After staying in the fantasy world for a long time, her bun was a little messy, and a few strands of broken hair lay on her forehead, swaying leisurely like willow branches blown by the wind.
Jiang Baiyan's eyes followed it, and then he looked back calmly: "Thank you."

He was obviously very tired. He leaned against the iron pillar behind him and closed his eyes soon.

Everyone was a little tired, and no one spoke for a while.
Shi Dai moved her limbs lazily and glanced at the side of Jiang Baiyan's face.

Jiang Baiyan often smiled, but most of the time, his eyes were actually cold.
The peach blossom eyes are so beautiful that they look like cold black jade on his face. Even if his eyebrows are crooked, they still make people feel as sharp as a blade.

At this moment, his eyebrows were lowered, his expression was calm, and his outline was outlined by the dim light and shadow, like a quiet ink painting.
His back is thin and straight, and he looks well-behaved.

She was looking at him curiously when she suddenly saw Jiang Baiyan's eyelashes trembling slightly. He suddenly opened his eyes and their eyes met.

Shi Dai:......
Damn it, got caught.
As long as she is not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed.

Shi Dai pretended that nothing happened: "What's wrong?"

His eyes swept across her cheek, and he paused for a moment, as if to confirm that she had not left.
Jiang Baiyan responded warmly: "Nothing."

He said nothing and closed his eyes again.

Shi Dai felt confused and couldn't ask any more questions, so she had to lean against the iron pillar and touch her brother's head out of habit.

Shi Yunsheng glanced at her, gritted his teeth, and did not move away.

The clues were scattered, and Shi Dai tried to sort them out.

One is about the disaster of annihilation.
It is no coincidence that Shi Jingcheng and Shu Sheng came to Yuezhou together. Could it be related to the disaster that Ah Li mentioned?
The second is the current murder case.
The murderer was probably seeking revenge. Depending on the situation, there might be a third victim.

After sorting through the known clues, Shi Dai's eyes were blank, and she was caught off guard and saw Jiang Baiyan open his eyes.

Different from the calm mood last time, this time, he seemed to wake up from a dream, with a slight frown on his brows.

As he raised his eyelids, he concealed the dark color in his eyes, and his expression became gentle and indifferent again.

Shi Dai: "Did you have a nightmare?"

Jiang Baiyan looked as normal and closed his eyes: "No problem."

I knew he was going to say these two words.
Shi Dai held her chin with her right hand and smiled mysteriously: "I have a secret to not having nightmares."

Jiang Baiyan followed her advice: "What's the secret?"

"Before you go to bed, you can think about me - or something else."
Shi Dai said: "Isn't there an old saying? If you think about me every day, you will dream at night. For example, if you think about me, you will most likely dream of me."

After she said that, she clenched her fist and flashed it in front of her: "I will protect you and help you drive away the dirty things."

Jiang Baiyan twitched the corner of his mouth and half-joked: "You entered my dream... I might be frightened."

Shi Dai had no psychological burden and immediately changed her mind: "Then you will protect me. Two people together are better than one person."

After a moment of silence, Jiang Baiyan smiled softly: "Okay."

He did have a nightmare before waking up.
Jiang Baiyan often has nightmares.

When I was younger, my dreams were filled with broken limbs and arms.
The fire in Jiang Mansion, the bloody corpses, and the black shadow holding the knife filled the dream. I often woke up in the middle of the night, with cold sweat soaking my back.

Later, I would also dream about evil cultivators and the dark prison.

For example, just now, in my dream, I saw the scene of plundering Same Tears a few years ago.
The dungeon was dark and damp. The evil cultivator held a long whip with barbs in his hand and waved it across, raising large red flowers of blood.

Jiang Baiyan was used to this kind of dream.
Peaceful and gentle dreams were rare for him.

"Go to sleep."
Shi Daimu looked forward to it, her black and white eyes full of smiles: "You try my method, maybe it will work."

She used to use this method when she wanted to eat strawberry cake and play in the amusement park.
Although I can’t 100% dream about it, the chances are much higher.

Jiang Baiyan said: "Okay."

Even though he didn't have high hopes, he closed his eyes and traced Shi Dai's features in his mind several times as he was told.
Vaguely, the sweet fragrance of gardenia drifted past her nose.

Tiredness was rising, and his vision was dark.

What Jiang Baiyan didn't expect was that he actually saw Shi Dai in his dream.

It was a completely different dream than any other time in the past.

The mood of spring is bright and the moonlight is like gauze.
The unknown fragrance lingers, like plum blossoms in winter or gardenias blooming in late spring.

Shi Dai sat on the edge of the bed.
In his bedroom.

The author has something to say:
