Dream within a dream

  "Little heaven!"

  Meng Tian woke up with a start, drenched in sweat. She saw her second uncle sitting beside her, looking at her with concern: "What's wrong?"

  She wiped the sweat from her forehead and shook her head: "I had a dream."

  Second Uncle handed over a handkerchief: "Nightmare?"

  The song of the wild sky fell silent. She seemed to have forgotten what she was dreaming about, only feeling that it was very frightening...

  "Alright, if nothing's wrong, go ahead and take a look at the store in front, or you can also wander around other stores, don't just stay here."

  "Hmm..."

  Second Uncle has left, looking still very robust.

  She didn't know how she got such an idea, and shook her head in a daze, getting up to wash.

  This is a small market in Dong Kun Wu, where she and her second uncle opened a small shop. They didn't make much money, barely enough for the two of them to cultivate.

  She cultivates very diligently, now she has already cultivated six layers of Qi, and believes that she will be able to advance in rank soon. At that time, she can enter a sect, cultivate diligently, and advance in rank...

  This small shop, thanks to Second Uncle's foundation repairman, had a fairly complete range of goods and even hired two low-ranking repairmen as apprentices. She walked into the store, saw the two apprentices diligently attending to customers, and business seemed to be booming, so she left.

  The street was very lively, I don't know where so many people came from. She had a headache and didn't know why. She always felt like she had forgotten something important, but couldn't think of what it was.

  Wandering aimlessly around the streets of the city block, I unknowingly returned to my own small shop once again.

  Not yet entering the door, I heard the noisy sound.

  "Wait a minute, fellow Taoists, our master hasn't returned yet, this matter has nothing to do with us..."

  "What's it to you?" a menacing voice growled. "You're from this store, so it is your business! Tell me, did your store sell out this black stuff?"

  "No, no... Fellow Taoist, there is no logo of our shop on this thing, it shouldn't be..."

  "They all say it's contraband, how can there be a sign? You don't have to quibble, just get everything back!"

  Next was the counter overturned, Mo Tian Ge rushed into the store and saw the management monk of this street market scrambling around, forcibly robbing goods, and couldn't help but shout loudly: "Stop in your tracks!"

  The leader of the group was not weak in cultivation. He turned his head around and coldly snorted: "Kid, this has nothing to do with me. Scram!"

  "She was furious: 'This is our family's store, how can it not be my business? What do you mean by this? We pay the management fees on time every month!'"

  "You're selling contraband and disrupting the market order. According to regulations, all goods in your store will be confiscated!"

  Mo Tian Ge was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing coldly: "You just take something out and say it's something our store sold? What evidence do you have?"

  The leader sneered: "I say it is, take everything away!"

  "How dare you!" She was furious, and with a flick of her wrist, she drew out the Qingmu sword. However, this was a group of cultivators whose cultivation was no lower than hers, and soon she was knocked to the ground, watching helplessly as the store was emptied.

  "Hurry up, be careful!" The person left and the store was empty, she lay on the ground and heard another sound.

  Then two men carried Second Uncle in. Second Uncle was covered in blood and on his last breath.

  "Second Uncle, Second Uncle, what's wrong?!"

  "Are you his nephew? He was injured by the Thunder Beast and probably won't last much longer, so mourn for him."

  "Second Uncle!"

  Mò Tiān Gē woke up again in a dream with a start.

  Again? She sat on G in a daze, why again?

  "Are you awake?"

  She turned her head and saw a back figure. He seemed to be hunched over the table, drawing symbols on paper, holding a pen and glancing at her with a slanted gaze, still focusing on his work.

  "Qin... Brother?" She grasped her head, feeling like she had forgotten something. As she called out this title, a thought flashed through her mind - was it really Qin Brother?

  Could it be Qin Xi again? Who else could it be?

  Stranger in Heaven Song got up and said: "Qin Shixiong, we..."

  "We should go."

  Qin Xi stood up and in an instant, he took her soaring into the sky: "Ye Shidi, your Second Uncle has entrusted you to me."

  "I..." she couldn't get the words out, feeling like everything in front of her was wrong.

  Upon arriving at Tai Kang Mountain, Qin Xi brought her down and turned around to gently smile: "Don't be afraid, with me here, you will naturally be safe. Cultivate well, and when the elixir is formed, I can also inform Master Ancestor, fulfilling our wishes."

  "Really?"

  "Yes, your Second Uncle has already agreed that you and I will cultivate together. When you form the elixir, it will be the time when the promise is fulfilled."

  "Impossible..." She was speechless. No, it really wasn't right.

  Qin Xi still deeply and sincerely asked: "Don't you want to?"

  Mo Tian Ge suddenly turned his head and said in a low voice: "This is absolutely impossible, Qin... Shifu..."

  She didn't have the courage to lift her head, but she felt a surge of spiritual energy. In an instant, she flashed through an attack, turned her head, and saw Wei Jiasi's twisted face, his eyes filled with anger.

  "Older sister Wei!" she exclaimed. "What are you doing?"

  Wei Jiasi seemed to have not heard it at all, sneering and clasping her hands together, a water arrow shot out from her hand.

  She dodged the wolf's attack in a fluster. She turned her head to look at Qin Xi, hoping he could intervene, but saw that Qin Xi was watching them with an indifferent smile, his eyes devoid of warmth, making him seem eerie.

  "Senior Wei!" She hastily tried to retrieve her magical tool, but found that the Qian Kun bag was not by her side! Turning her head to look at Wei Jia Si, she also didn't have a magical tool in hand, yet was ferociously attacking her.

  "Wei Shijie, have you gone mad?"

  Wei Jiasi stopped in her tracks, but her gaze became even more terrifying: "I knew from the start that you couldn't be kept here. You want to take Shifu away? No way, I absolutely won't agree!"

  Suddenly a chill ran down her spine, she shuddered, and a clear feeling appeared in her mind.

  No, that's not right! Qin Xi wouldn't say something like that to her, and he wouldn't maliciously tease the disciples of the sect. Wei Shijie also wouldn't take her life for the sake of benefits.

  It's all fake!

  Severe pain in the brain, no time to defend against Wei Jia Si's spell, only felt a sharp pain in his arm. The scene in front of him was like ripples on water, swirling around and around, getting more and more intense, until it shattered into pieces.

  They were near Yu's house at Danding Gate, rather than Taikang Mountain.

  As soon as he woke up from his illusion, Tian Ge immediately dodged Wei Jiasi's attack with a flip of her body. She took out a white silk handkerchief and completely blocked Wei Jiasi's attack. Then, she took out a binding rope for capturing spirits from the Qiankun bag and easily tied up Wei Jiasi, who had lost her mind and was only using magic indiscriminately.

  She picked up the white silk handkerchief, and Ah Tian Ge Song let out a sigh of relief. After searching around, she found that the thin slice of yù stone had fallen to the ground and shattered - what kind of thing was this, that could make her and Wei Jia Si, two mid-term foundation-building cultivators, simultaneously experience hallucinations! And every time she went through it, it tore apart just when she felt it was beautiful. Was Wei Jia Si also like this? So in the end, when they were both in the same hallucination, Wei Jia Si's spirit could no longer hold on, and that's why she attacked her?

  She suddenly felt a chill down her spine. If it weren't for the fact that she was no longer prone to losing control and had the protection of the re-refined Ling Pearls, perhaps...

  "Let me go!" Wei Jiasi's face was terrifying, her eyes almost hateful, as if she had seen something in her hallucination.

  Mó Tiān Gē walked forward and took out a pellet from the Qian Kun bag, tossing it into Wèi Jiā Sī's mouth.

  "Let go...... me......" Wei Jiasi's eyes closed and she fell into a daze.

  Mogentian thought for a moment, carefully picked up some of the shattered jade stones, helped Wei Jiasi up, and flew towards the Yu family.

  On the road, they saw Luo Fengxue and a foundation-building cultivator from the Yu family in the distance, and the four of them returned to the Yu residence together.

  Wei Jiasi was settled in, and Han Qingyu walked out of the room. The two people in the courtyard stared at her as soon as they saw her.

  Han Qing smiled and said, "It's nothing, Second Sister is just tired. Let her rest for a while, she'll be fine when she wakes up."

  Mo Tian Ge finally put down his heart and asked: "Han Shijie, what's going on? Why did I and Wei Shijie see that thing and have a hallucination together?"

  Han Qing shook his head: "I don't recognize that thing either, but there are many mysterious things in the world beyond our imagination. This thing is hidden beside a demon beast, maybe it's from the Nanmian Forest, we just don't understand."

  What Han Qing said was not unreasonable. In the southern forest, countless demons and beasts lived, some of which were familiar to human cultivators, but others only knew about the demons that lived there.

  "But this object is extraordinary and must be no ordinary thing. Unfortunately, it's broken. If only it were still intact, who knows what kind of treasure it could have been made into. Alas!"

  Hearing Luo Fengxue's words, Han Qing knocked on her head and laughed: "This thing will shatter after one use, it can be seen that it can only be used once. Even if it is made into a magic treasure, what's the point? You'd better not dream about it."

  Luo Fengxue nodded thoughtfully: "That's also true."

  "Alright." Han Qingyu's expression turned serious, "Tian Ge, you're saying that you and Second Sister went to investigate and only found this one wolf and one hare? There weren't any other demonic creatures?"

  Mo Tian Ge nodded: "Not bad, that only Rakshasa actually knows how to use the Conceal Spirit Array, so we sometimes can't feel the movement of spiritual energy. After they died, I really didn't feel any demonic energy. And there are wounds on their corpses, I guess, they were injured and abandoned by the original spirit beast, and Rakshasa is naturally intelligent, afraid that their lonely demonic energy would be discovered by us, so intentionally did this..."

  "What you said makes sense." Mo Tian Ge brought back the corpses of those two demon beasts, and Han Qing Yu had also seen them before. She too made the same deduction, but at this moment she still felt that something was off. "But why would the other demon beasts retreat? We just arrived and they withdrew, this isn't the intelligence of demon beasts. Even if it's a clever raccoon dog, it wouldn't be able to make such a decision."

  "What does Sister Han mean by that..."

  Han Qing smiled slightly, his eyes deepening: "I'm afraid there's a high-ranking demon beast behind the scenes manipulating things."

  As soon as these words came out, Mo Tian Ge and Luo Feng Xue exchanged a glance, both of their faces gradually turned pale, because they both thought of a possibility!

  Low-level demonic beasts harassed nearby families, causing Dan Ding Men to send out cultivators for a counterattack...
