Chapter 454 Fear and Lucid Dreams
the next village became quite lively.
Killing a pack of wolves is a great thing for a poor mountain village like this. It not only solves a hidden danger, but also provides a large amount of meat and fur.
The villagers held up wolf corpses, their faces were stained with wolf blood, wolf meat was cooking in the pot, and wolf carcasses and hot steam with the smell of wolf were everywhere...
At this time, a leatherworker passed by and found that the black wolf skins were soft and very suitable for making clothes. So the leatherworker stayed in the village for half a month and made a piece of black wolf skin clothing for every family participating in the wolf hunt.
Some people made hats, some made vests, and the largest wolfskin from the old wolf was made into a set of outer clothes and sent to Uncle Wang's home.
Uncle Wang decided to stay in the village and gradually got together with Aunt Wang who saved him.
Aunt Wang wiped her tears, probably because she missed her old man.
“And so, decades passed.”
"This black wolfskin coat is a token of our love. I've always wanted him to wear it."
"But this stubborn old man was frightened by what happened that year and became ill. Not only did he not dare to treat the dog, but he was so scared when he saw this piece of clothing..."
Aunt Wang had a strange smile on her face.
"Fortunately, he died, and I finally found an opportunity to dig out this suit from the closet to use as his shroud, and saw what he looked like when he put on this suit."
"He can also go to the underworld in glory like a wolf."
outside the window.
The villagers were holding flashlights and searching the village for Xiong Gang.
Xiong Gang sat on the ground and listened to the story.
He listened very carefully at first, but gradually he felt that something was wrong.
When Aunt Wang was telling this story, she seemed to often inexplicably lean towards the wolf's perspective. It was even more strange that she insisted on making Uncle Wang wear a wolfskin coat even though she knew that the old wolf had said that he would use wolfskin to turn him into a wolf.
As suspicions arose in her mind, Aunt Wang revealed more loopholes.
She had been wrapped in a blanket since Xiong entered the room, but the room was not cold. Moreover, her blanket was not tightly wrapped, and a black object seemed to be exposed on the lower left side...
Xiong Gang's voice trembled: "Aunt Wang, are you... cold?"
Aunt Wang was stunned for a moment, then followed Xiong Gang's line of sight and saw the black corner of clothes sticking out from the lower left side of the quilt.
"No, I'm hot."
The familiar face of the gray-haired Aunt Wang revealed an expression that frightened Xiong Gang. She slowly lifted the quilt, revealing that she was wearing that strange black wolfskin shroud!
Aunt Wang gradually twisted into a half-human, half-black wolf appearance. She jumped up and hung upside down on the ceiling, drooling from her mouth and with yellow fangs growing out of her mouth.
"Hahaha……"
Xiong Gang was trembling all over and couldn't help but step back.
He could easily tear the monster in front of him to pieces, but he really didn't have the courage to do so.
He just shivered and retreated step by step.
When he left Aunt Wang's house, he saw the villagers rushing towards him, shouting, holding various farm tools or weapons in their hands, with ferocious expressions. Although they didn't have guns, they were even more brutal to Xiong Gang than they were to the wolves.
Xiong Gang was so frightened that he fled in panic in the night.
Occasionally look back.
He discovered that many of the villagers who were chasing him had protruding upper and lower jaws, fangs, and drooling, like mad dogs!
And those villagers who looked like mad dogs were all wearing black clothes.
Some are vests.
Some are hats...
Xiong Gang ran farther and farther away, and could vaguely hear the laugh- ing howling of wolves coming from the direction of the village.
……
Xiong Gang sighed.
"Then, I appeared in this underground maze."
"If there is one day in my life since I became conscious that I have felt fear that penetrates my bones, it is this one."
After Xiong Gang finished his story, the palace lanterns lit up a moment later, proving that his story had been accepted by the big-eared statue. Wu Xian asked Xiong Gang, "You said you had a selfish motive in telling this story, that you wanted to pull the evil spirit into the underground maze so that it would no longer harm the villagers."
Xiong Gang nodded.
"That wild dog can possess humans through its own skin. I think this is the only way to free the villagers from its control."
"Besides..." Xiong Gang's eyes turned red instantly, "I really want to tear it into pieces with my own hands!"
This is what Xiong Gang called selfishness. Wu Xian understood his feelings, but if this was the case, they had one more thing to be wary of.
Xiong Gang stood up from the statue and sat cross-legged beside the Yin Fire Pool.
"Since the palace lanterns are already lit, everyone should go to bed as soon as possible. Tonight is very important, so I will be the one keeping watch."
Wu Xian raised his eyebrows: "Is it okay?"
Xiong Gang grinned: "It's okay, I'm full of energy now."
Everyone was exhausted after experiencing too much today. Wu Xian walked to Fat Tiger, curled up in his hair, and soon fell asleep.
……
In a dream.
A vague figure stood in front of Wu Xian and asked Wu Xian in a vague and disembodied voice.
"What do you want to do tomorrow?"
Theoretically, the Maze Will doesn't need to worry about anything, but the mysterious Wu Xian really makes him worried, so he decides to ask Wu Xian in person.
Wu Xian sat up from his body. After only two seconds of trance, he realized that he was dreaming. So he ignored the voice's questions and curiously explored his state in the dream.
In the real world, there is a concept called lucid dreaming.
That is, people can be aware that they are dreaming in a dream. Some people who have experienced this have said that they can control some things in lucid dreams, and others say that they can do almost anything in their dreams.
Wu Xian has always been curious about this, but he has never entered a lucid dream state, so for him, being questioned by the will of the maze in a dream this time is a very good opportunity.
After all, as he experiences more and more blessed places, Wu Xian will sooner or later encounter a blessed place dominated by "dreams".
The experience gained here can save lives in the future.
"The surroundings are a little blurry..."
“Some scenes are incomplete.”
“Everything feels pretty much the same as when I’m awake.”
While Wu Xian was studying dreams, the maze will had been trying to communicate with Wu Xian.
Threats, inducements, compromises, vicious curses...
All kinds of words were said, but Wu Xian still refused to listen, and from time to time he made strange movements, such as jumping into the water, or burning his hands with flames...
at last.
The maze will was broken.
His tone was no longer vague, but he was roaring at Wu Xian.
"You will pay for your rudeness at this moment!"
At this time, Wu Xian was using the water surface as a mirror, trying to use his mind to make his slightly curly hair straight and elegant.
He shrugged off the threat posed by the will of the maze. After all, the only thing this guy could do in his dreams was to talk to people and bewitch them.
If he had any other abilities, he would have used them on others long ago.
suddenly.
Wu Xian looked at the maze will with a thoughtful look.
Maze Will was overjoyed: "Are you finally willing to talk to me?"
"No, I have another important thing to test."
"Test what?"
"Test whether I can kill someone in my dream!"
