Dream Guide

After coming out of Muka's laboratory, Aoki walked all the way up the mountain.

He was not walking blindly, but following a mysterious guide.

There was always something like a soap bubble surrounding him, a little bigger than a person and a little smaller than a house. If you take a step forward, it will roll forward, always preventing you from touching its edge. But if you don't move, it will automatically drift forward and guide you to where it wants you to go.

This is a fantasy.

It doesn't appear in the air. It appears in human consciousness. You can't touch it, you can't see it, but it's there, wrapped around you. Its edge is right in front of you, but you can never reach it.

It creates a membrane in your consciousness that allows you to enter dreams at any time.

Of course Aoki is not afraid of being hypnotized, because he is a dreamless person. But this dream bubble did affect his consciousness. This method is more sophisticated than hypnosis, and it is also more difficult to guard against.

However, Aoki is not in a hurry to get rid of this bubble of consciousness, because he feels that this dream bubble does not have much malice, it is just guiding him.

Being able to influence his consciousness in this way from such a long distance is indeed an expert. Aoki began to have a little interest in this woman named Dua.

There is a temple on the mountain. The temple gate and front hall were newly renovated, but it still looks a bit primitive, which shows that a lot of thought was put into the repairs.

The moment Aoki stepped into the temple gate, the soap bubbles burst with a pop, causing several waves to ripple in the surrounding space.

The waves hit his brain in circles, just like the CT scanner in the hospital, seeming to scan for something wrong in his brain.

"So you are a dreamless person." Du Wa's voice came from the temple, still peaceful, but not as ethereal as before.

Aoki held the poppy in his arms, crossed the high threshold, and stepped in.

Passing through the small courtyard, you enter the main hall of the temple. Of course, the so-called main hall is not as grand as those famous temples. It is just a large square room with a three-meter-high Buddha statue in the middle.

Sitting on the futon in front of the Buddha statue was a woman in her thirties, with delicate features and delicate and smooth skin, as if carved from jade. Her hand also holds an orchid finger, which is the same as the image of Yao Po in her dream, but it is more elegant and noble than Yao Po.

"Are you Dua?" Aoki walked in and asked.

Du Wa nodded, pointed to the low couch in the corner of the hall and said, "Put the child there."

The poppy lay on Aoki's shoulder and fell asleep. Her little face was red and there was a smile on her lips. It was obvious that she was sleeping peacefully.

Aoki followed the words and put the beauty on the low couch, then came back and sat down on the futon next to Dua.

"There is no food or wine in the small temple, only water. If you are thirsty, just drink." Du Wa pointed to a water tank next to him and said.

Aoki was not thirsty, but he was addicted to cigarettes. However, he touched his pocket and found that the cigarette was gone. He came to Maguba in a hurry to save people, but he didn't have time to buy it. He looked up at the Buddha statue, scratched his head, and gave up the idea of ​​asking Dua if he had any cigarettes.

"You look like an expert, but the apprentice you accepted is really not that good!" Aoki said.

Du Wa smiled slightly: "Yao Pozi's father is kind to me, so I passed on some things about Qingming and Awakening to her. But she is ignorant by nature. I was afraid that she would fall into evil ways, so I pretended to rely on Buddhism. Unexpectedly, she still left. We've gone astray."

"No wonder she always talks about magic. It turns out you lied to her!" Aoki said with a smile, "She went astray, and you, the master, didn't stop her?"

"Everyone has their own destiny. When she meets you, it's her destiny. I don't need to stop her."

"What about Muka? Muka was doomed when he met me, but you just wanted to save him."

Du Wa sighed: "Muka is a born awakening material. If you are willing to learn from me, your achievements will be limitless. I have lived for more than seventy years. It is rare to meet such an outstanding young man. Of course I want to accept him as my teacher." Disciple, in order to pass on the knowledge of my branch and complete the mission that I failed to complete. It is a pity that he is focused on his secular career and is not interested in the practice of the spiritual world. Otherwise, it may not be so easy for you to kill him today. I only saved him in the hope that he would wake up after escaping from death, but of course, this hope will most likely come to nothing."

Aoki said: "If he agrees to be your apprentice, will you save his life no matter how many crimes he has committed before?"

"Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately. Isn't this good?"

"Can you really become a Buddha immediately if you put down the butcher's knife? Who should those who died under the butcher's knife go to to complain? To you? Or to the Buddha?" Aoki asked.

Dua said: "All conditioned phenomena are like bubbles in a dream, like dew or lightning, and should be viewed as such."

Aoki said disapprovingly: "Do you think that a verse from the Diamond Sutra can make all sin disappear? Even if a person commits a crime in a dream, it is still a sin. The sin originates from the heart, and the heart is not good. Later sins , it’s probably because of your connivance.”

Du Wa smiled slightly, stopped arguing with Qingmu, and said: "Speaking of which, my real disciple is only one Du Juan. She is not a bad person, and she has no ambition for fame and fortune in the world. But after meeting Situ, she became obsessed with it. Nian, she often does things without distinguishing between good and evil, and does whatever she wants. Meeting you is her fate, and she must not be able to come back, right?"

Aoki carefully looked at the expression on Du Wa's face and found that she was not particularly angry or sad when she talked about Du Juan, but he admired her calmness and ease.

"It's true that Dujuan can't come back, but I didn't kill him, and I have no intention of killing him." As Aoki said, he roughly recounted what happened in the Japanese pig cage cave.

Du Wa listened quietly, sighed, and said another verse of the Diamond Sutra: "All conditioned dharmas are like bubbles in dreams, like dew or lightning, and should be viewed as such."

"You already knew about the situation in that cave. Why didn't you destroy it earlier or even remind your apprentice Du Juan?"

Du Wa shook his head and said: "That cave is just a broken old dream, which was preserved with the help of the mountains and geography. I'm not particularly sure what method Situ used to reactivate it. I went to see it later and found nothing. What's special is that your strong mental power must have affected the stability of that space and triggered something to activate the consciousness remaining decades ago. If this is not a natural coincidence, but intentional by the designer In short, Kitano Zhenwu’s ability is really incredible!”

Aoki couldn't help but ask: "Do you know Kitano Masaki?"

Du Wa closed his eyes slightly, seeming to be thinking about something. After being silent for a while, he said: "I know, my mother once mentioned this man to me. He was once the greatest awakened person in the world, and he was also the respected Big Dream. Mentor. Unfortunately, the war broke out and he lost his mind in that war that no one could escape."
