Monument of Life and Death

Chapter 1160 Awakening from Dream

   ***

Xiaolan was thinking hard about how to deal with the two men's cross-examination. Suddenly, the world around them suddenly shook.

Qin Yin’s nagging and asking spirit’s urging all stopped.

 The three of them looked at each other in shock and confusion.

 “What’s going on... Oops!”

Before Qin Yin could ask the question, the ground beneath the three of them was like an iron pot being stir-fried, and the chef gave it a spoonful.

Qin Yin's buttocks were sore that she grabbed Xiao Lan and Wen Ling beside her like a life preserver.

"Xiaolan, what happened?!" Wenling saw that Xiaolan didn't look right, so he shook her shoulders and asked, "Xiaolan, what's wrong with you?!"

Qin Yin quickly retracted his gaze from the surroundings and looked at Xiaolan.

The shocked expression still remained on Xiaolan's face, but unlike the two of them, Xiaolan's eyes were staring straight ahead, as if her soul had been distracted by something in the distance.

“Xiaolan!” Qin Yin took out a hand and waved it in front of Xiaolan, “What did you see?”

Xiaolan didn't answer them, she just stared blankly into the void in front of her, her body at their mercy.

“Something must have happened!” Wen Ling said, taking off his coat, “Don’t worry about anything else, we have to tie Xiao Lan to our side.”

 Qin Yin reacted and saw Wen Ling quickly tied Xiaolan's arm to his own with his coat, and immediately understood what Wen Ling meant.

“Then where are we going?” Qin Yin asked loudly, “This is Xiaolan’s dream. I guess something happened to Xiaolan in reality!”

Wen Ling grabbed Xiao Lan tightly, slumped on the ground and shook his head, "I don't know...it's the same everywhere here."

"Is it possible that Xiaolan woke up?" Qin Yin's hair was knocked over her face and she looked very embarrassed, "Then what should we do?"

"Logically speaking, if Xiaolan wakes up, the dream should disappear," Wen Ling tried to calm down, "But now the dream is still there, so... it should be..."

 “Let me try to see if I can escape from here first!”

As he spoke, Qin Yin reluctantly raised the fingers of his right hand and drew a circle in mid-air.

The blue ring actually closed into a complete circle. Qin Yin looked at Wen Ling in surprise and waved his hand, "Let's go!"

"But..." Wen Ling stood up unsteadily, showing hesitation.

“Stop being stubborn, let’s go first!” Qin Yin said, pulling Xiao Lan in first, “The worst result is that you can’t get out, don’t be afraid!”

Wenling was led by Xiaolan's arm that was tied to hers, and cautiously stepped into the ring.

   ***

 This is a situation that no one expected.

Lao Luo and Luo Jiutian didn't have time to react, Qianyuan Dragon had already lunged at Xiao Lan with a low groan.

In the midst of lightning and flint, the Taoist priest closest to Xiaolan rushed over and blocked his body in front of Xiaolan.

Unexpectedly, Qianyuan passed directly through the Taoist priest's body without any impact on him. However, the Taoist priest also failed to stop Qianyuan's attack.

The dark dragon's mouth bit down **** Xiaolan's small body.

 “Xiaolan!…”

 In the heart-rending screams of the crowd.

 In the roar of the Qianyuan dragon roaring to the sky and the earth.

 Xiaolan opened her eyes.

 Her pupils met Qianyuan's huge pupils.

That moment.

 The giant dragon, which seemed to be as big as the sky and the earth, disappeared in front of everyone.

Luo Jiutian still maintained his posture to prevent Qianyuan Dragon from attacking Xiaolan.

He opened his mouth and looked at everything in front of him. Qianyuan disappeared.

 It’s like it’s never been here before.

Xiaolan looked around confusedly.

"Taoist?..." Xiaolan first saw the Taoist standing in front of him, and then his eyes slowly moved, taking in everything around him, "Brother Jiutian...I...I'm back?"

Luo Jiutian was still immersed in the confusion about the disappearance of the Qianyuan Dragon, but Lao Luo took a step forward and asked, "Miss Xiaolan, are you awake?"

"I..." Xiaolan lowered her head and looked at her hands, then raised her head and looked at everyone, suddenly showing an expression of realization, "It turns out I'm awake!"

The Taoist priest and others have squatted beside Xiaolan, looking at her with concern.

 “What did you dream about?”

"I dreamed about Sister Xiaoyin and Wen Ling!" Xiaolan eagerly recounted what had just happened one by one, "And it's strange. I shouldn't have dreamed about them. It seemed like the two of them had entered my body. Dream... just... I don’t know if you understand what I mean?”

Xiaolan looked at the incomprehensible expressions on everyone's faces and scratched the back of his head with a headache.

"I actually don't know what happened," Xiaolan said with a frown, "Sister Xiaoyin said that she and Wenling opened the space door and traveled into my dream."

"Those who traveled through time?" The fool's eyes widened, "Does that mean they are entities?"

“I think that’s what they mean,” Xiaolan nodded, “but to be honest, it’s hard for me to understand.”

"How can someone physically appear in someone else's dream?" Baomu said, "Unless it's not actually a dream."

As soon as these words came out, Xiaolan was stunned.

 If what just happened was not a dream...

“It’s not a dream, it’s impossible,” the fool retorted, “Xiaolan’s body was just lying here the whole time, and it didn’t go anywhere.”

Xiaolan sighed and saw Luo Jiutian who was still stunned in place through the Taoist priest's shoulder.

“Brother Jiutian, what’s going on?” Xiaolan blinked, “Why do you look so shocked?”

Lao Luo took a deep look at Luo Jiutian and moved closer to Xiao Lan.

 “Miss Xiaolan…”

“Wait!...Uncle Luo!” Xiaolan grabbed Lao Luo’s sleeve and shouted in surprise, “You’re back again!”

Lao Luo hesitated for a moment, and only after a few seconds did he remember that Xiao Lan had already fallen asleep when he arrived, so naturally he didn't know what happened next.

Lao Luo smiled kindly, and just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted again by Xiao Lan's muttering.

"Hey, where's Uncle Yi Yao?" Xiao Lan looked left and right, but couldn't find the person lying next to her before falling asleep. She raised her head and glanced at everyone, but saw no figure of Yi Yao, and the light in her eyes immediately dimmed. He asked a little bit, "Could it be...could Uncle Yi have been captured and imprisoned in those stone pillars?"

 What Xiaolan was most worried about happened.

 She looked at the last stone pillar.

Yi Yao sat cross-legged among the stone pillars in the posture of a martyr, with dazzling red threads wrapped around him.

Xiaolan covered her face in pain and lowered her head.

“Xiaolan, don’t be sad yet,” the Taoist priest patted Xiaolan on the shoulder, “Things are not what you think.”

 Next, the Taoist priest told Xiao Lan that Lao Luo had exposed Yi Yao's disguise, and then Yi Yao took the initiative to enter the stone pillar.

 The pain in Xiaolan's eyes did not diminish.

 Being cheated again…

However, after knowing all this, Xiaolan suddenly felt that some things gradually became reasonable.
