Fundamentals of Catching Immortals

Chapter 73 The Nightmare-Eating Tapir (35)
But... It's been less than a year since Gu Huo Niao became a demon, so she didn't die 20 years ago?

"What's the matter? Why did you offend the officials in Beijing?" A Xu asked.

At this time Xiao Er was wrapping pine nut candies, half a catty per bag, ten bags were strung together with red thread, and ten strings of candy paper bags were piled up on the high cabinet, looking at it made people feel greedy.He clapped his hands and pointed to the north direction outside the door: "Did the two of you pass by an open space on the other side of the street?"

Asu and the others came from the south, they shook their heads when they heard the words.

"That place turned out to be a dance workshop, and there was the tallest high platform in our town inside. There was a fire on it for no reason 20 years ago, and a dancer dragged Tanhualang back then and jumped down. Tanhualang had already been in Beijing before. The old father-in-law is the official of the capital. Well, my daughter has become a widow before she gets married, how can the official of the capital not be angry?"

Ah Xu's heart was filled with thunder, his eyes widened.She looked up at He Shiyi in surprise, and kept tugging at He Shiyi's sleeve under the high cabinet.

Xiao Er didn't pay attention, but just handed over the candy, said auspicious words, and sent He Shishi and A Xu out the door.

As soon as she left the door, Ah Xu's chicken feathers exploded. She tugged on He Shiyi's sleeve, and said with her mouth like a bean bursting out: "Ahe, did you hear that! What that person said just now seems to be my dream. I dreamed about it when I was in the dream! Are the people in the dream real? Are those things real? Oops... Let’s go and see if there is something in my dream Same!"

He Shiyi didn't have time to speak, so he was dragged by A Xu to the direction pointed by Xiao Er. After running for a while, A Xu stopped, lowered his hair and became dazed.

"Here... is here. I died here..." As soon as Ah Xu finished speaking, he let out a smack, and reached out to slap himself on the mouth: "I didn't die here, it was the woman in the dream or She died here. Then... after she died, she floated to the fork in the road, is this true? But the dream was broken at the fork in the road... Could it be that the soul was eaten by the nightmare?"

Asu said, he looked up at He Shiyi: "Didn't you say that the nightmare eater only eats emotions? Why does it even eat souls!"

He Shiyi looked at A Xu for a while, first sighed that chicken essence can speak so fast, and then explained: "The soul is formed by the condensation of seven emotions. The dream-eating tapir absorbs the emotions, but the soul cannot be gathered. It's like drinking the bowl of Meng Po soup on the other side of the Santu River."

Axu let out a groan, but his emotions were still fluctuating.Thinking that the dream I had last night turned out to be something that actually happened, I was filled with fear and sorrow.She bit her lower lip and frowned for a long while. The surrounding scenery was far from what she had dreamed of. The brightly lit long street of the once bustling town had fallen to the point of decay after just 20 years.

She originally thought that all the places in the world should be the same as the Luoxia Mountain, a hundred years are like a day, at most there are changes in some vegetation withered and blooming, flowers blooming and withering.But when I went down the mountain and came here, I realized that, in the mortal world, time is the biggest culprit for willfully altering the appearance of everything.

"Let's go back." A Xu lowered his head, and resentfully grabbed He Shiyi's sleeve: "Ah Qing must be hungry."

He Shiyi looked at A Xu's expression, only felt that the little goblin's face was still the same, but there were some subtle changes somewhere.The brows and eyes that were originally crooked all the year round are now drooping and lifeless, the prickly dimples are no longer there when you smile, and the corners of your lips are not upturned when they look good...
