I have a weird dynasty

Chapter 230 Awakening from a Dream (asking for monthly tickets)

Granny Zhuang took a step back in fear, but was quickly supported by Wei Ziyan.

Just as Yu Da was thinking about how to respond, Sang Que raised his hand and swung a dagger towards Granny Zhuang's son. In Granny Zhuang's eyes, Sang Que looked like an evil spirit, and had an irresistible killing power against the son of an ordinary person.

Granny Zhuang's son was too clever for his own good. He wanted Granny Zhuang to think that they were evil spirits so as to drive them away and not trust them. But at this moment, he used Granny Zhuang's consciousness to give Sang Que and Yu Da the power to kill them.

Sang Que has always been decisive. After realizing this, he took action without any hesitation!
Granny Zhuang's scholar son tried his best to dodge to the side, and the dagger was nailed to the wall behind him. Granny Zhuang's son just breathed a sigh of relief, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Sang Que holding a longbow, staring at him sharply, and the bowstring had been loosened.

The arrow hit Grandma Zhuang's son right between his eyebrows. His eyes widened in horror. His body was knocked back by the huge impact of the arrow. After a pause, he fell to the ground.

When Sang Que threw the dagger, Yu Da reacted quickly and swung the willow whip in his hand towards Wei Ziyan.

Granny Zhuang's son was a member of a ghost troupe. No matter whether he was a living person in the dream or not, he had to be killed without a doubt.

Wei Ziyan didn't know what was going on. If it was just an illusion created by Granny Zhuang in her dream, the willow branch would disperse if it was hit. If it was a living person, the willow branch would not cause much damage to her.

Snapped!
The sounds of whips and arrows hitting each other rang out at the same time. Wei Ziyan, who was standing there in a daze, disappeared like a dream bubble, blown away by the willow branches. Only then did Granny Zhuang's son fall to the ground.

Sang Que and Yu Da's cooperation this time was seamless.

But this scene frightened Granny Zhuang to the extreme. She opened her eyes wide, her face turned pale, and her body trembled uncontrollably, as if she remembered something or realized something.

"Is this a dream... Is this a dream again..."

"Mother-in-law!"

Yu Da hurried over and wanted to support Grandma Zhuang, but Grandma Zhuang stepped back in fear and avoided Yu Da.

Yu Da hurriedly explained, "Mother-in-law, please look carefully, who am I?"

Sang Que went to check on the condition of Granny Zhuang's son. After he fell to the ground, he disappeared like Wei Ziyan. They were both illusions in Granny Zhuang's dream. Saying that Sang Que and Yu Da were evil spirits might be a subconscious protection for Granny Zhuang as she was immersed in a beautiful dream and did not want to wake up or have her dream destroyed.

As Granny Zhuang gradually realized that all this was a nightmare, the entire courtyard began to become dilapidated. The paper on the windows turned yellow and tattered, the flowers under the wall withered and rotted, the peach blossoms did not bloom, and there was only a cold winter and loneliness in the courtyard.

Sang Que was alert to his surroundings, not knowing what form the dream ghost would appear in.

The two people around Granny Zhuang were eliminated so easily by her? It was... too easy.

Sang Que didn't know that at this moment in the real world, He Buning and Xia Chan were fighting hard with the puppeteer of the ghost troupe. Originally, this puppeteer was the one who was in charge of preventing anything from going wrong with Grandma Zhuang.

If the puppeteer was there, as soon as Granny Zhuang showed signs of waking up, the puppeteer would interfere with her by controlling the puppet ghosts.

Granny Zhuang stepped back to avoid Yu Da's supporting hand, held onto the stone table in the yard, and slowly sat down.

Sweet dreams make people immersed, while nightmares only make people want to escape.

When Granny Zhuang entered the Suppression of Evils Division to manage files with her extraordinary memory, the Zou Yin general guarding Qinzhou was not the current Cao Huiyuan, but another one, but that person had died.

The ghost general once told Grandma Zhuang that people like her should be most wary of dream ghosts.

Her brain power is far beyond that of an ordinary person. If she were possessed by a dream ghost, it would be enough to affect the people of the entire city. However, the Evil Suppression Bureau also needs people like her, so she was not eliminated by the Evil Suppression Bureau as a potential danger.

She has always lived alone in Cuiliu Lane. If someone moved in, she would deliberately do something weird and evil to drive them away.

In addition, she took tranquilizing soup all year round, and tried to stay awake in her dreams, trying to control her dreams. She had been on guard for most of her life and nothing had happened, but in the end, it still happened...

Granny Zhuang burst into tears and pounded the table with her fists, "It's all my fault, I'm such a spoiled child!"

In reality, after drinking Wan Xiangtou's cup of tea, Granny Zhuang has become confused, with her memory and thinking intermittent. Only now in her dreams, relying on her years of exercise, can she still remain somewhat lucid.

When Sang Que heard what Granny Zhuang said, she couldn't help but say, "You are also a victim. You don't have to feel guilty because of his crimes. When he did the evil things, he never thought of you as his mother."

Granny Zhuang was crying silently. Yu Da was a little out of breath. He sat beside her and said quickly to Granny Zhuang, "Granny, the people of Wangshan City are now in your nightmare. You..."

"I know!"

Granny Zhuang interrupted Yu Da and said that she was mentally prepared for what would happen when things came to this point.

"I will wake everyone up, but before that, I have something to tell you. After you wake up, you'd better find General Cao as soon as possible and let him make arrangements."

Yu Da and Sang Que nodded. Granny Zhuang suppressed her heartache and said, "When my son was young, he was not good at studying, but he loved to sing opera. Opera actors are low-class professions, which are very different from scholars. I had a quarrel with him, and he ran away from home. He has been gone for more than 20 years."

"He sent me a few letters in the early years, but then there was no news from him. I thought he was dead, but I didn't expect him to come back a few days ago. I have been in the Evil Suppression Division for many years. Although I am just a file manager, I am not stupid. As soon as I saw his appearance and heard him speak, I knew he was from the ghost theater troupe."

"I never expected this," Granny Zhuang pounded her chest, "He would become like this. If I had known this would happen, I should have beaten him to death."

"Mother-in-law, now is not the time to be sad." Although it was unkind, Sang Que still reminded her.

The wind blew in the yard and the atmosphere felt a little off.

Yu Da raised his hand and patted Granny Zhuang's shoulder, "Granny, this is really not something you can control, and no one will blame you."

Granny Zhuang nodded with tears in her eyes. "The second time the Japanese invader came to see me, he found me and almost killed me. I came out to see him and begged him to show mercy. Then I was careless for a moment and drank a cup of his tea. Then I became confused and lost consciousness."

"Zi Yan has been taking care of me, but he hid in an empty house in Cui Liu Lane and occasionally came to see me when Zi Yan was not around. Now that I think about it, I seem to have heard him mention ghosts carrying coffins, corpse nests, and that he was going to rise up in Qinzhou, and that he was going to cooperate with the Yun Kingdom."

Yu Da was stunned. What Granny Zhuang heard and remembered were all the key points! As expected of an old lady with an extraordinary memory, she knew what was important to keep in mind and what was unimportant to forget.

Sang Que could also infer from the key words said by Grandma Zhuang that something big was happening outside, and the Xuan Dynasty was about to be in chaos.

After she finished speaking, Granny Zhuang stood up and said, "That's all I want to say. Please tell General Cao for me, and ask General Cao to get rid of this evil for my Wan family!"

Yu Da didn't respond, Sang Que suddenly asked, "What's his real name?"

Granny Zhuang was stunned for a moment, and Yu Da reacted and gave Sang Que a thumbs up. Now that he knew the man's real name, as long as he got his blood or hair, he would be able to curse him to death.

"His name is Wan Hongtu, which means a long and arduous journey. It is the name his father gave him."

Granny Zhuang had a sad face, recalling the time when they were a happy family of three and Hongtu said he wanted to take the imperial examination and win an imperial decree for her.

The wind in the yard was getting stronger and stronger, blowing through the hall with a whistling sound. Thunder broke through the night sky, leaving behind cracks.

"You guys go, it's time to wake up from this dream!"

Granny Zhuang closed her eyes, and cracks began to appear in everything around her, like ashes after a fire, flying in the wind.

See you tomorrow~
