If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 856 Official Apprenticeship
"Teacher, you haven't slept yet!" Xi Juan walked to the large bluestone, panting.

"Why did you wake up suddenly?" Xiaoyu asked.

Xi Juan was a little confused and said, "I just had a nightmare. I can't remember what happened in the dream. I just felt very scared and panicked.

After I woke up, I was sweating all over and felt weak all over. I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to pull the cart tomorrow.”

"Luolong's second uncle has come to seek revenge on you."

Xiaoyu told the story of how Lao Lilong cursed him in his dream with the help of the nightmare-suppressing object.

"Teacher, didn't you say that my disciple has a miraculous fate and is not harmed by evil spirits? How come I was harmed by evil spirits today just after awakening my immortal bones?" Xi Juan said nervously.

Xiao Yu rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "Didn't you brag in the past that you were born not afraid of dragons?
The crocodile is now a dead dragon, worse than when it was alive, are you afraid?"

Xi Juan was really a little scared, and said: "I am not afraid of living dragons, but I can't use my strength in dreams. My immortal bones are useless, my sword energy can't be used, and I can't bring the mighty river's true energy into my dreams.
Moreover, it would be fine if I was tortured myself, but they actually had no rules and no morals and were planning to attack my mother. How shameless! They are the dragon clan!"

Xiao Yu said: "Fate, nobility, blessing, luck, these real things only work for real people.

Excluding special forces that can affect the dream dimension, all beings in dreams are almost equal.

For example, if you are just a beggar in the human world, you can also daydream and become an emperor in your dream, or even become a Buddha, replacing the Jade Emperor and sitting on the Lingxiao Palace.

The emperor on earth, the Jade Emperor in heaven, and the Buddha in the West cannot control other people’s daydreaming.

Even if you are an emperor, a prince, a general or a minister in the human world, you may become a beggar in your dreams.

So tell me, between the beggar in the dream and the Jade Emperor in the dream, who has a more noble status?"

Xi Juan seemed to have realized something and said, "I thought that the Nightmare Suppression was an evil spell, just like other evil things, and it cannot affect noble people and people with great fortune.

So, no matter how powerful one is in reality, as long as one cannot bring the power into dreams, one will be easily controlled by the bad guys?"

Xiao Yu said: "If it is an ordinary dream entering technique, most ghosts, gods, demons and evil spirits cannot harm a martial arts expert who has comprehended the sword intent."

When she had just learned the "Tiger Soul Seven Killings", she killed a ghost in her dream.

They entered her dreams, her thoughts.

She used the knife of her spirit to kill the "invaders" in her mind.

If the crocodile had also entered Xi Juan's dream, Xi Juan would definitely not be so passive.

Don’t say that wealthy and powerful people are not affected by the nightmare technique.

Xi Juan did have a peculiar fate, but didn't the carp spirit Li Hong let the Night Wandering God, with his own thoughts, throw himself into Xi Juan's dream and warn Xi Juan not to go to the big lake to fish for dragon fish in the future?

Li Hong was quite knowledgeable. She knew that after entering someone else's dream, she might be attacked mentally by the dreamer, so she only used one thought to convey the message.

But Xi Juan at least couldn't stop the idea of ​​a short river patrol.

And there is Tang Monk, who is the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi and has been a good man for nine lifetimes. But doesn't he often appear in people's dreams?
Dreams are another dimension, and the power rules in that dimension are different from those in the real world.

Xiao Yu continued, "But if others don't enter your dream, like the crocodile, that cunning fellow only watches you being tortured from the outside of your dream, how can you hurt people outside your dream when you are in your own dream?

The so-called evil methods that do not harm noble people are mostly evil methods like those of ghosts and gods.

Ghosts and gods depend on human nature. A small county magistrate in the mortal world, as long as he is ruthless and does not consider the retribution after death, can lead people to smash the City God Temple and carry the statue of the Dragon King out of the temple and burn it.

The official power in the human world can truly cut off the roots of ghosts and gods.

Since it concerns their own foundation and life, how can ghosts and gods not be afraid of a great nobleman?

The art of nightmare suppression is not ordinary evil power.

Do you know what is outside the world?"

"The great god Pangu created the world in chaos. Is there endless chaos outside the world?" Xi Juan asked.

"That's right. The world outside is chaos, and there are living beings in chaos."

Xiaoyu nodded slightly and explained the concepts of Chaos Demon and the evil sects from outside the domain.

“Most of the time, the objects used to perform the Nightmare Suppression Technique are related to the evil forces from outer space.

They are external forces and do not abide by the rules of the world that 'the law does not harm the nobles'.

In a few days, I will take you to read "Spring and Autumn Annals" and "Pre-Qin Historical Records".

You will find that in many palace changes, witchcraft is involved to some extent.

Witchcraft and nightmare town, like the art of witchcraft, are both schools of curse.

Who in the palace is not rich, powerful and lucky?
But it is in the imperial palace that nightmare events are most common."

Xi Juan looked hopeful and said, "Teacher knows everything about the uncle and nephew of Lulong, but they know nothing about you. Could it be that you know how to deal with nightmares?"

Xiao Yu pondered and said, "At any other time, I would have chopped those two dragons with my sword. But now."

She hesitated for a moment, but decided to confess some of the details to him, "Yesterday afternoon, I discussed dragon breeding and thunder magic with my fellow Taoist master.

Do you know why my fellow disciples are so envious of my Five Thunders Technique?"

Xi Juan thought about it for a moment and said, "Master, I think that after learning the Five Thunder Method, he won't be afraid of the Three Calamities Thunder Tribulation that he is about to pass?"

Xiao Yu sighed, "Anyone who practices Taoism cannot avoid the three disasters and six calamities, my fellow Taoists are like this, and so am I.

Before going through the tribulation, the first and most important commandment is to avoid making enemies with others, committing fewer murderous acts, and being less contaminated by the tribulation energy."

"Even the most vicious and evil criminals cannot be killed?" Xi Juan asked.

Xiao Yu said, "If you gently swing a sword towards the river, what will happen?"

Xi Juan asked: "A sword mark, with rippling light?"

Xiao Yu said, "You swing your sword, and half an hour later, what will appear on the river surface?"

"Everything is gone, it's as smooth as a mirror." Xi Juan said.

Xiao Yu shook his head and sighed, “Hatred and pain are like the ripples on the water surface when you first swung your sword, visible to the naked eye.

Cause and effect and karma are like when you swing your sword for a moment, the ripples spread to the riverside, causing the reeds to sway along.

Look carefully, look further away, and you will definitely be able to see it clearly.

When the water waves are blocked by the embankment, a force is transmitted to the depths of the earth. Even if you can't notice anything after a day or a year, it is still there and can continue to accumulate.

This is the calamity energy.

One day, the earth bore too much force and an earthquake occurred. A catastrophe came."

Xi Juan seemed to be thinking about something. "Teacher is also going to go through the heavenly tribulation. Has he reached the critical point?"

Xiao Yu nodded slightly and said, "After you and your son go to Xue County, I will continue to wander for a while. It's almost time for me to overcome the tribulation. The uncle and nephew of the Crocodile Dragon are villains, but they are far more difficult to deal with than two villains, because they have people behind them, and they can't be killed!"

"The damn dragon wants to harm my mother!" Xi Juan was a little excited.

Xiao Yu said calmly: "I will definitely not watch you and your son get hurt. I am just not sure what method to use to help you."

Xi Juan was surprised and delighted, "Teacher can not only help me, but also has so many methods that I don't know which one to choose?"

Xiao Yu said: "There are not so many methods, but some methods are simple, but they only treat the symptoms and not the root cause. Some methods can benefit you for life, but they are more time-consuming."

"Please tell me first." Xi Juan said.

“The simplest method is for me to kick Uncle Lulong in my dream. If he is smart, he will retreat when he sees the difficulty.

The second relatively simple method is that I will blow a breath and blow the two uncles and nephews into your dream, and then you can fight with them. "

"Can I do it? The sword energy in the dream is very weak." Xi Juan said.

Xiao Yu said angrily: "The crocodile dragon didn't even appear in your dream, and his second uncle stayed far away, who are you fighting with?

You are competing with yourself!

I blew them into your dream, which was equivalent to breaking the old Lilong's nightmare magic."

Xi Juan asked: "Can I kill them directly in my dreams?"

——Damn it, you’re so young, but you’re so murderous, those are two dragons!
Xiaoyu felt a little strange, as it seemed that Xi Juan was really not afraid of dragons.

She was not afraid of dragons either, because she had great magical powers and had deduced dozens of "ways to kill the Dragon King".

When she didn't have supernatural powers and hadn't figured out a way to kill the Dragon King, she was in awe of him.

We would never look down on real dragons just because of the sloppy performance of the four dragon kings in Journey to the West.

Xi Juan doesn't have any special abilities, he is just not afraid of dragons out of his own will, which is a little abnormal.

But this guy always manages to escape unscathed every time he encounters a real dragon, which is even more abnormal.

"Without my help, you probably won't be able to completely kill them.

After all, the uncle and nephew of the crocodile dragon are also masters of playing with dreams. If they can't win, they can just run away. "She said.

"What is the method that can benefit disciples for life?" Xi Juan asked.

"It is better to rely on yourself than on anyone else! I will teach you the Dream Divine Art. As long as you get started, you will not be afraid of the old Lilong's nightmare magic.

If you practice the Dream Divine Art to perfection, you can chase him in your dreams, or even create an illusion to trap him to death." Xiao Yu said.

Xi Juan's expression became conflicted.

He has now worshipped Taoist Wuyazi as his "teacher", but he is not the "master" in the sense of master-disciple inheritance, but only the "teacher" of a private school teacher.

The teacher only taught him knowledge.

If you want to learn Dharma, you must become a disciple.

He was conflicted on two points. The first was the resistance in his heart. Although it was not as strong as before, it had not completely disappeared. At the same time, he was worried that Taoist Wuyazi would reject him or laugh at him for refusing to be his disciple!

Xiao Yu gave him a meaningful look and said, "The Dream Divine Art has five levels. The first level is 'awakening', the second level is creation..."

She roughly described the principles and realms of the Dream Divine Art, and continued, "As long as you can wake up in your dream, Old Lilong's evil magic will be ineffective against you.

If you reach the second level, you can weave your own dreams at will and become the creator of dreams.

Any evil thing that enters your dream is seeking death.

The third level, Broken Bridge, is completely immune to the evil nightmare magic.

The fourth level is to build a bridge. It will be easy for you to kill someone in your dream.

However, if you decide to learn the "Dream Magic" from me, you must swear an oath first.

Do not abuse the fourth level to harm others.

You are not allowed to pass on the fourth level to others at will, unless you get my permission."

"Thank you for your help, Master." Xi Juan stopped hesitating and immediately knelt down to kowtow and accept the title of Master. "I will strictly abide by the precepts and will not use the Dream Magic to harm others. Even to my own descendants, I will not pass on the magic without permission."

Xiaoyu smiled slightly, realizing that the word "teacher" in Xijuan's mouth had changed its meaning.

“I have set a rule that the Dream Divine Art cannot be spread without permission. It’s not because I’m stingy with the art, but because I’m worried that someone might use it to harm others.

The first three levels of Dream God Skill are mainly used for self-protection, and can be taught based on your judgment.

Just don’t spread the fourth floor.”

The fourth level is completely simulating the evil dream worm from outside the domain, it is truly a "magic skill".

Once the information is passed on to the wrong person, it can easily lead to heinous crimes.

For example, a lustful person only needs to take a look at a lady or a handsome man, without even asking about their residence or identity, and he can lure them into the dream he has created that night and play with them at will.

Using "Dream God Power" to do evil is difficult to be discovered by outsiders, and even more difficult to be punished.

The fifth level is the "God in Dreams", but even if one only cultivates to the fourth level, he can at least be considered a "demigod".

The demigods of the dream dimension are not Shinto gods, but "divine".

If the gods who control dreams in heaven are not alerted, it is unlikely that the eccentrics and immortals in the mortal world will be able to crack her dream magic (the fourth level).

Of course, the power of Dream Magic doesn’t mean killing people in dreams.

It doesn't mean that after learning the fourth level of "Dream God Art", you can kill anyone you want silently.

Immortals have strong mental power and can keep their own minds firmly in check. They can resist temptation, not leave their dreams, and even not dream.

Just like Xiaoyu back then, the intestinal worms bridged the nightmare with her dream, and kept shouting outside, "Yu Fengxian, wake up, Yu Fengxian, come out."

After Xiaoyu woke up from the Xiaojingxuan in her dream, she was conscious and ignored it.

Xiao Yu also taught others swordsmanship, and swords were more efficient in killing people. She only set rules for the "Dream God Technique" because the cost of committing a crime using this technique was too low.

If you kill a good person with a sword, you can't hide it from others, and others can also resist it with martial arts.

The crimes committed by Dream God are silent and difficult to detect.

Forces that are difficult to restrain should be strictly controlled.

Even if the power comes from her.
