Dream Guide

Although the crow is sometimes unreliable, Aoki knows that it never loses its grip at critical moments. In terms of mental power, the cat may not be weaker than the crow, but the crow has been through battles and love scenes for a long time. This bird has not only a strong mental power but also a special ability, plus its tongue that can wear down a lifetime. , it shouldn’t be difficult to stabilize the white cat.

Aoki stepped into that dark area with peace of mind.

After experiencing a short period of nothingness, the vision suddenly opened up, and a depression appeared, with some crops planted sparsely, and a few low-rise houses next to it, which looked like rural houses from decades ago.

Aoki remembered that he had seen this place in his mother Yao's dream. This should be Yao's mother's hometown. She lived here with her grandmother when she was a child.

It was hazy in the distance and I couldn't see clearly, but the doors of the private houses were open. Aoki stepped across the depression and walked directly into the house.

There was a woman sitting in the room, wearing a rich blue flower cheongsam, with a beautiful face and graceful bearing.

Qingmu felt that she looked familiar, and after careful identification, he found that the woman's appearance was somewhat similar to Yao Jingjing, but she was obviously not Yao Jingjing, nor Yao's mother. Moreover, there is a trace of residual spiritual power in this woman, which means that she is not a dream of Yao's mother, but a consciousness with independent consciousness like the cat. It's just that the remnants of her consciousness are very weak, not as powerful as that cat.

"You're finally here," the woman said.

Aoki was stunned and said: "You know I'm coming?"

The woman said: "Someone will come, either you or someone else."

Aoki said: "Since you already knew someone was coming and have been waiting, why did you let the cat stay outside to prevent people from coming in?"

The woman said: "Only the one who can break through the white cat's protection is the one I want to wait for."

Aoki seemed to understand something and said, "That cat... was tamed by you?"

The woman nodded and said, "Yes."

"Are you the old lady Cuan?" Qingmu remembered that Yao's mother said that their surname was Cuan, and that it was the same as her grandmother's surname. This dream should be Cuanjia Village.

"Old lady?" The woman was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly, "Yes, yes, I should have thought that by the time you come, I will be very old. Maybe my granddaughter will be old too!"

She laughed for a while and then said: "My name is Cuan Yifang. I am the only one left by the Cuan family in Cuanzhou, and it is done with me. I have to guard this little thing that my ancestors looked after. Now that you are here, I can leave."

Aoki asked: "What are you guarding?"

Cuan Yifang smiled and said, "I can't tell you now because I don't know if you are the person I'm waiting for. I have to give you another test."

"What's the test?"

"Look what this is?"

The young old lady Cuan gently raised her hand, and a transparent triangular pyramid appeared in the void.

Aoki didn't know what it meant, and looked at it blankly, always feeling weird.

The triangular pyramid rotates slowly, radiating energy in circles from its apex, forming a flat surface, like rippling water.

Then, this layer of water surface is like a mirror, and a triangular pyramid is reflected on it, which is connected to the vertex of the triangular pyramid below, forming a symmetrical mirror image.

Aoki immediately thought of the logo of the Alliance of Awakeners. He has seen the triangle with two connected vertices more than once, but this is the first time he has seen such a three-dimensional picture.

"Awakened Alliance?"

He was a little excited and couldn't help but use his mental power to gently touch the two triangular pyramids.

I wonder if there is a difference between the upper and lower spaces. The upper triangular pyramid is much darker than the lower one. The lower one is transparent, but the upper one is a little golden.

However, Aoki soon discovered that the golden color was not the true color of the triangular pyramid, but that the top triangular pyramid was filled with fine yellow sand.

Bo——

Stimulated by his mental power, there was a slight energy fluctuation, and the connected vertices of the two triangular pyramids collapsed, and a small hole appeared. The yellow sand in the upper cone began to flow into the lower cone, forming a Thin vertical lines.

Aoki was stunned. Isn't this the hourglass model of time that Professor Mei discussed with him?

There is less and less sand in the upper triangular pyramid, and more and more sand in the lower triangular pyramid. When the amount of sand below exceeded that above, the energy fluctuations on the plane where the two cones were connected became more and more severe. Before long, the two cones twisted and exchanged positions.

The triangular pyramid with more sand went to the top, and the less sand went to the bottom. The sand continued to flow from the top to the bottom.

Of course, this is in a dream, and there is no real gravity in the dream space. The so-called up and down here is just a concept, but visually, this is what Aoki sees, a bit like a sophisticated mechanism, which is affected by a similar buoyancy force. When the balance of power between the two ends changes, it will be reversed.

It's like throwing a gourd half filled with water into the water. The heavy part must be underneath, while the empty part floats on the surface. But if there is a mechanism that pumps water from the inside of the gourd and pumps the water from the lower part to the upper part, then when the weight of the upper part exceeds the weight of the lower part, the gourd will turn upside down.

After the two triangular pyramids were turned upside down, because it was different from the beginning, the bottom triangular pyramid was empty at the beginning. Now there is sand in both cones, but the top one has more sand, so the sand flowed out not long ago. The amount of sand stored exceeded that above, and the two cones fell over again.

In this way, the two triangular pyramids kept inverting, and the conversion time became shorter and shorter. In the end, they turned into windmills, spinning around and around.

Perpetual motion machine?

Aoki knows that it is not difficult to create such an effect in a dream, because the dream space does not follow the physical laws of the real world. But if there is no such memory, how could such a thing be created in a dream?

Who is this young and beautiful old lady Cuan?

"Are you from the Alliance?" he asked.

Cuan Yifang smiled and nodded: "Now that you're here, I can finally leave."

Aoki discovered that the residual mental power of old lady Cuan's consciousness was weakening, and quickly used his own mental power to protect her, and asked: "Wait, what are you waiting for me to do? What is hidden here?"

Cuan Yifang said: "You don't know?"

Aoki shook his head, he really didn't know.

Cuan Yifang said: "Then you ask, but I may not be able to answer. I am just the residual consciousness of myself. I left a little memory and obsession in my granddaughter's sea of ​​consciousness. I can't tell you everything."

Qingmu knew that Cuan Yifang was right. When the old lady was dying (perhaps earlier), she used some magical method to peel off a little of her consciousness and sealed it in her granddaughter, Yao's mother. In a dream space. Therefore, this part of Yao's mother's memory cannot be retrieved, because this dream space did not collapse at all, but was hidden and became a dark area.

"What are you hiding here?" he asked.

"This is a key that our Cuan family has guarded for generations."

"Key? What key?"

"The key to the Holy Land."

"What holy place?"

"Awakening Holy Land."

"What is the Holy Land of Awakening?"
