"Nightmare?" Seeing the Queen Mother's abnormal expression, Bai Yutang was puzzled, "What nightmare?"
"Oh" The queen mother flicked her sleeves lightly, causing the left and right to retreat, and beckoned to Bai Yutang, Gongsun and Pang Yu, and let them enter the room to talk again.
Everyone followed the queen mother into the room and sat down. Concubine Pang took Xiangxiang and the fourth son to the inner room behind the screen, and wanted to listen, as if the matter was of great importance.
"Bai Shaoxia, Mr. Gongsun, do you usually dream?" The queen mother just sat down, and suddenly asked a very inexplicable question.
Bai Yutang froze for a moment, then shook his head, "Very little."
Gongsun thought for a while, "Occasionally."
"Then have you ever tried making dreams come true?"
Bai Yutang smiled lightly, "I understand that the dream come true seems to have nothing to do with dreaming."
Gongsun looked at the sky, thinking that he had dreamed of being with Zhao Pu for a long time, so it really was a long time Is this a good dream or a nightmare?
The queen mother nodded, "Most people think that they don't dream for no reason. Dreams always carry some kind of omen. Happy dreams are auspicious, while bad dreams are ominous. Just ignore them."
Bai Yutang frowned slightly, and listened patiently, not quite understanding what the Empress Dowager wanted to express.
"It happened forty years ago." The Empress Dowager said, "I heard from the first emperor. At that time, he was still young. There were murders in the palace one after another, and even the maids and eunuchs went crazy and committed murders. Therefore, people were panicked."
Bai Yutang calculated that forty years ago it was a time of great chaos in the palace, so he could understand it.
"The reason was found out later." The Queen Mother whispered, "It turns outit was because of a strange dream."
"Dream?" Pang Yu was surprised when he heard that, "Does dreaming drive people crazy?"
"Yes!" the Queen Mother said, "One year, there was a thunderstorm in Kaifeng, and the lightning struck many houses, which later burned down and killed many people."
Gongsun nodded, "There are records in various historical books."
"That year, lightning struck a dry well. It is said that when someone found it, there was only a stone jar left in the dry well, and the lid of the jar was split in two. There was a strange symbol spell on the lid. In the middle of the seal of the article, there is a big word '¾ª'."
It was the first time for Bai Yutang to hear such an evil thing, and he was a little puzzled, "Isn't there something sealed there?"
"Exactly!" The Queen Mother looked serious, "There is a kind of monster sealed there, called Nightmare."
"The jar was split open, does that mean Nightmare has escaped?" Pang Yu was puzzled.
"After that, strange things started happening again and again. Everyone started to dream, and after the dream, they started to go crazy and became more and more chaotic." The queen mother shook her head, "I just heard that the first emperor was still young, and it is said that the whole Kaifeng was panicked until one day. A Taoist priest surnamed Gu appeared and once again sealed that nightmare."
"Where did you put the succubus later?" Pang Yu was curious, "Oh, this thing is too dangerous, so it should be guarded heavily."
"The point is that the Taoist priest didn't tell anyone where the Dream Demon was sealed, except Taizong." The Queen Mother said here, and sighed, "and after Taizong died, no one knew where that thing was anymore."
When Bai Yutang heard this, seeing the worry on the Queen Mother's face, he comforted him, "But so far, there have been people who killed themselves in dreams, and there has never been a case where others were killed because of dreams."
"The court lady just now"
"The Queen Mother is too nervous." Gongsun also comforted, "It's better not to mention this matter again, otherwise"
"The Ai family understands." The queen mother nodded again and again, "At this time, the world will be in chaos."
The queen mother is not an old woman who has never seen the scene before. Knowing that she can't talk nonsense at this time, people are panicked. She lost her mind for a while, but soon returned to normal. She called the old maids and told them not to mention the nightmare.
Bai Yutang and Pang Yu left the other courtyard. Originally, Bai Yutang decided to send them back and then go back, but now they should not be able to leave. The safety of the Queen Mother and Concubine Pang cannot be ignored.
"Hey, Mr. Gongsun." Pang Yu folded his arms curiously, "What is a nightmare? A god or a monster?"
Gongsun frowned and pondered for a while, "Nightmare should be similar to the succubi recorded in the ancient annals of gods and monsters. It is a demon that resides in people's dreams for many years and influences people's minds to achieve their own goals."
"That's just a legend." Bai Yutang never believed in ghosts and gods.
Gongsun nodded.
At this moment, I saw the fourth son come out from the other courtyard, holding theHelping Longge, so dissatisfied.
Zhan Zhao said to Xiao Liang, "Xiao Liangzi, keep going."
Xiao Liang smiled slightly, an idea came to his mind Apart from avenging him and teaching Bayan, Zhan Zhao also meant to remind him.
In fact, Xiao Liang doesn't know how to use a sword very much, because he learned swords from Zhao Pu and Bai Yutang. A knife is a single-sided edge, and a sword is a double-sided edge. There is a big difference. Every time Xiao Liang used the sword, he couldn't do it well, mainly because it was very troublesome to fight the enemy head-on and work on both sides.
That time he got annoyed when he practiced swordsmanship, and the fourth son gave him an idea to let him fight at an angle, wouldn't it be one-sided? So Xiao Liang used the sword technique learned from Zhan Zhao sideways, as if striking sideways.
Just finished practicing, he beat Zhan Zhao and frightened Zhan Zhao¡ªXiao Liangzi made his handsome swordsmanship look like a crab, but the power was amazing.
So this set of swordsmanship was named the Crab Swordsmanship by the fourth son. This set of swordsmanship is invincible in Kaifeng, because whoever sees it will laugh and lie down first.
Xiao Liang knew that Zhan Zhao reminded himself to use the crab sword to finish him off, so he made a move.
This time Coke hurt a lot of people, because the action was really funny, Longge was so awkward that he didn't know how to return the move, and he didn't dare to touch Zhan Zhao's giant sword, the sword was too fast, and the blade became shorter and shorter.
In the end, Xiao Liang left a knife handle for him, jumped out of the circle and put away his sword, "It's better to be evenly matched, the master said, I'm a guest from afar, and my weapons are cheaper."
Long Ge stood there dumbfounded, Xiao Liang just added another move to put himself on all fours, and then he would make a big fool of himself, but he didn't. He frowned secretly, this kid has such a bearing at such an age, he is really worthy of a famous teacher and a great apprentice. Although Long Ge was a reckless man, he also admired heroes, and he bowed his hands to Xiao Liang, "You won."
"Papa."
Zhao Zhen put down his wine glass and clapped his hands, "Very good, very good, the heroes are young, and both of them are very good."
Xiao Liang went back to Zhao Pu and sat down, and Long Ge also returned to Bayan in frustration, "Master"
Bayan waved his hand lightly, indicating that it's okay, and looked at Zhao Pu again, "Congratulations to the Ninth Prince, a famous teacher produces a high-level apprentice, and there will be successors in the battle on the battlefield."
Zhao Pu raised his eyebrows lightly, held a chicken leg for Xiao Liang, and touched his head with his hand, "Children, killing is second, being happy is more important."
Xiao Liang smiled and gnawed on the chicken leg.
Zhan Zhao rested his chin and fiddled with the remaining crab with a chopstick, but he was looking at Zhao Cong opposite It is hard to describe what kind of expression Zhao Cong has now.
Zhan Zhao suddenly thought of a sentence that Bai Yutang often said, "What a person is suitable for is born, don't force it." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
