Chapter 296 - Lost In Dream (1/2)

After a long time, Xiao Chen looked at Evernight and saw that his face was pale. He said, “Evernight, you go back to the zither.”

Evernight was the Zither Spirit of Fuxi Zither. Now Jade Zither was lost. Its Soul power could not last long. And now he was his only best friend. Xiao Chen sighed, and felt sorry that Evernight always spent his Soul power helping him.

“Boy, this place is full of strange things, we should leave as soon as possible.”

Zhiluan came up, and said, while holding his head high, “Is this place weird? But I feel that this is a beautiful place. I would like to live here for another three or five years, before leaving.”

Evernight ignored Zhiluan. He flipped his sleeves back and disappeared. Seeing that, Zhiluan looked around and wondered, “Why did he suddenly disappear? Boy, who’s that arrogant guy just now?”

Xiao Chen glanced at him and said, “If it weren’t for that arrogant guy just now, you would already have died!”

Zhiluan jumped back in surprise. “Wow, he’s so awesome! I thought it was you who brought me here! What kind of spirit did you say he was?”

Xiao Chen shook his head, and did not pay any attention to him. He looked again in the direction of the valley. For some reason, the man sealed in the ice gave him a strange feeling, which he could not describe. But he felt it was a kind sort of feeling.

Of course, the puppet in the sarcophagus did not make him feel good.

Two hours later, the man and the cat came to a flower valley, which was much brighter than the gloomy valley. There were clear springs flowing from the hill, which converged into a pool below. The pool was clear, surrounded by colorful flowers, among which flitted many colorful butterflies.

Zhiluan chased after the butterflies in the flower garden, while Xiao Chen sat beside him, trying to meditate, but he could not calm down. From time to time, the image of the man sealed in ice, appeared in his mind.

At dusk, Xiao Chen suddenly felt sleepy. He had not had a good rest these last few days. Even though it was not night yet, he searched for a small cave nearby, collected some leaves, placed them on the ground, and then laid down to rest.

Early in the morning, a cold wind suddenly blew into the cave, making him feel cold. Xiao Chen opened his eyes in a daze. Suddenly, he heard a strange sound outside. Following the sound, he came to the valley of the day again.

“You’re here…”

Xiao Chen still felt very dizzy and sleepy. He walked into the cave and looked at the man sealed in ice, and asked, “I’m here. Who are you?”

“Eight thousand devil soldiers shocked the Three Worlds, while one hundred thousand Buddhas fled to the Western Paradise…”

“One… one hundred thousand Buddhas fled to the Western Paradise?” When he heard that, Xiao Chen was a little confused. Suddenly, the voice of the man sealed in ice rang out again. “Stop looking.”

“Stop looking? Who should I stop looking for?”

“She.”

“She? Who is she?”

“Your master, Ling Yin!”

When he heard the name of his master, Xiao Chen was shocked, and came to his senses. He said in a hurry, “Do you know my master? Where is she? Where is she now?”

“She is… dead!”

“She is dead?”

Xiao Chen was very sad when he heard that. It seemed that he had fallen into a nightmare at this moment, and would never wake up. Suddenly, he shouted out in a hoarse voice, “No!”

His voice echoed throughout the valley, which greatly shocked Zhiluan. “Boy… are you awake?”

Xiao Chen sat up in fright, with a pale face, sweating all over. He was still in a confused state. Looking at the rising sun outside the cave, he murmured, “It turns out… it turns out to be only a dream.”

Zhiluan handed over a fairy fruit, “A dream? What dreams do you have in the daytime, boy?”
