Chapter 24: Focusing on a dream demon who does whatever he wants
"You don't want to hear my name." The scholar in white said calmly.
Han Zhongli looked stunned: "What do you mean? Is your name still ominous?"
"You can say that."
The scholar in white chuckled lightly and glanced at the immortals: "Someone made a bet for me. I bet that I can't trap you in a dream, so I'm here."
"Who is so boring as to make such a bet for you..." Han Zhongli said, suddenly realizing that this guy has bad intentions!
"It doesn't matter who that person is anymore. What matters is whether they can escape my dream." The scholar in white said.
The spirits of the immortals instantly became tense, and their faces were full of alertness.
Qin Yao pretended to be nervous, but asked secretly in private: "System, can the dream demon's mental attack break your defense?"
In the original work, the Dream Demon is powerful in the Dream Barrier. As long as he is pulled into the Dream Barrier, even if he is as powerful as a dragon, he cannot escape easily.
But if he can't pull someone into the dream realm despite all his efforts, he won't do anything to that person again.
Just like his attitude towards Han Xiangzi.
[It cannot be broken. No one in this world can attack you mentally!] The system quickly gave an exact answer.
Qin Yao was relieved now and looked at the dream demon with his head raised: "With your wisdom, it shouldn't be difficult to guess that you are being used, right?"
"I know she wants to use me against you, but what does it matter?"
The Dream Demon smiled and said: "According to the bet agreement, if she wins the bet, your dreams will belong to me.
If she loses the bet, then her dream belongs to me. Anyway, no matter who loses or wins, I can't lose."
Qin Yao: "..."
Was it Hualong who found this guy?
In order to kill them, Hualong is willing to take this risk?
He knew, however, that if he could not wake up from his sweet dream, and was captured by the dream demon, he would never be able to wake up in the future.
"Bet, white clothes, erhu, sweet dream... I know who you are." Tieguai Li's expression suddenly changed drastically, he pointed at the middle-aged scholar and shouted: "You are the dream demon, the supreme demon in the demon world who feeds on dreams!"
The dream demon followed the sound and chuckled: "Although your reaction is a little slow, you can guess my identity through this limited information. You are not ignorant."
Tieguai Li silently clenched his cane and said solemnly: "Dream Demon, the Eight Immortals crossed the sea to collect elixirs and save the common people. This is the common wish of Xitian and Heaven. If you attack us today, how will you explain to Xitian and Heaven in the future?"
The dream demon sneered and said: "Explain, what explanation? Do you think that my position as one of the three giants in the demon world was achieved by the decree of Heaven or the West?"
Tieguai Li: "..."
"Dream Demon." Han Zhongli forced a smile on his face and said sincerely: "Isn't it too hasty to cause such a big lawsuit just because of a bet?"
"I just want to be free and happy as I want. I don't care if I am careless or not. Even if I am careless, what can Xitian and Heaven do to me?" Dream Demon asked in return.
Han Zhongli: "..."
"Okay, let's not talk any more nonsense." The dream demon put on the erhu and made a gesture of playing: "Please come to sleep, four of you!"
"Wait a minute." Qin Yao suddenly shouted loudly.
The dream demon paused slightly with his right hand when he was about to play the erhu, raised his eyebrows and said, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
Qin Yao smiled and said, "Don't you like betting? I want to bet for you too."
"Oh?" Dream Demon looked curious: "What do you want to bet with me?"
"I bet you can make me fall asleep. If you can do it, I will tell you a secret. If you can't do it, just disappear in front of us and never embarrass us again." Qin Yao said.
"What secret?" Dream Demon asked with great interest.
"You won't know until you win." Qin Yao responded decisively.
"Interesting." The Dream Demon considered it for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, I'll make a bet with you."
Qin Yao nodded, and an auspicious cloud suddenly rose under his feet: "Then let's go and find a place to compete."
"Han Xiangzi!"
Tieguai Li, Han Zhongli, Lu Dongbin, and even Yancai Jin all shouted in unison.
Qin Yao waved to them: "Don't worry, wait until I come back."
"He is a dream demon. Even the dragon could not hold back his dreams..." Tieguai Li said nervously.
"You can't even hold back the demonic dragon. Do you have the confidence to resist?" Qin Yao asked.
Tieguai Li was speechless.
"I'll go with you." Yancai rose into the sky and said seriously.
"No." Qin Yao flatly refused: "If you don't wake up from the attack by then, you will still have to trouble me."
Yancai: "..."
"Give me some trust." Just when she wanted to fight for it again, Qin Yao said in a deep voice.
All Yancai's words were blocked in her throat, and she could only watch with the other members of the Eight Immortals as they drove away in the clouds.
"Laoguai, call Taibai Jinxing quickly."
After a while, Han Zhongli suddenly grabbed Tieguai Li's sleeve and shouted anxiously.
Tieguai Li said helplessly: "You forgot, Taibai Venus has lost contact."
"Then let's go to the sky and call for reinforcements!"
"If Han Xiangzi had no trump cards and was bent on death, by the time we called the rescuers down and found them, his body would have been completely cold. If he really had any trump cards that could withstand the dream invasion of the Dream Demon, then we wouldn't have any
You need to panic and call for reinforcements."
Han Zhongli was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Then which kind do you think he is?"
Tieguai Li took a deep breath: "I choose to believe him! In my memory, Han Xiangzi is a man who cherishes his life. If he is not completely sure, he will never lure away the dream demon alone."
Han Zhongli was speechless.
In the blink of an eye, in front of the coastal reef, two streams of light fell from the sky and manifested into two figures on a reef.
"Young man, did you know that even the supreme dragon in the demon world can't stop my erhu?" The dream demon put his bow on the strings and asked loudly.
Qin Yao turned his hand and summoned a long flute: "That means the devil's music must be excellent. I would like to play a song with the devil."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The dream demon was stunned for a moment, then looked at Qin Yao and laughed loudly: "Interesting, really interesting. In thousands of years, you are the first to propose
Someone who plays a song with me."
Qin Yao made a gesture of invitation and said with a smile: "The Demon King invites you first."
The Dream Demon shook his head: "No, you should come first. I'm afraid if I come first, you won't have a chance to play."
Qin Yao laughed dumbly, then put the long flute to his mouth, recalled the tune in his memory, and played the famous short video "Caribbean Sword Fairy".
"This tune..."
Listening to the cheerful sound like a sword fairy crossing the sea, the dream demon was stunned, and for a moment he was reluctant to play the erhu.
Qin Yao glanced at the other party, but the other party remained indifferent.
"Demon King, you're good at pulling it."
"Don't interrupt, keep blowing."
Qin Yao had no choice but to play the piece completely.
"What a great song." The Dream Demon murmured.
Qin Yao said: "How about we just play this piece together?"
The Dream Demon paused slightly and waved his hand: "Forget it, I admit defeat."
"Huh?" Qin Yao looked confused.
"I have earned this piece of music today. The lives of you immortals are not as important to me as this piece of music." Dream Demon said.
Qin Yao: "..."
Is this the top boss in the demon world?
It’s really about doing whatever you want!
"I'll go to the sea and play this tune. See you later." The dream demon waved his hand, and black light suddenly shone under his feet, condensing into a black flying sword, which carried him straight to the sea.
Qin Yao helped his forehead.
Obviously, the old man, Dream Demon, was very happy after hearing this.
Soon after, he came back to his senses, formed a seal with his hand, cast the escape spell, and returned to his own courtyard in an instant.
"Xiangzi!" Seeing his figure, the four people with sad faces immediately stood up, and Lu Dongbin shouted excitedly.
Qin Yao smiled: "It's solved, everyone can rest assured."
The three immortals and one demon were stunned at the same time.
What was solved?
Xiangzi solved the dream demon?
"Are you Xiangzi or a dream demon?!" Han Zhongli pointed his halberd at him and asked sternly.
Qin Yao rolled his eyes: "If I were a dream demon, would I need to use illusions to deal with you?"
Han Zhongli: "..."
This makes sense.
"Mr. Han, how did you deal with the other party?" Yancai's eyes sparkled like stars, and she asked with admiration.
That was a dream demon, a being that even the dragon kings of the four seas did not dare to easily provoke, but in the end, Han Xiangzi got rid of him.
At this moment, the image of Han Xiangzi rose rapidly in her heart!
Qin Yao said calmly: "We are all music lovers. Originally, I wanted to compete with him in music, but I never thought that he would immediately admit defeat after hearing the music."
Immortals: "..."
This is outrageous.
But when I thought about it being the work of the Dream Demon, it seemed inexplicably reasonable.
"What song is that?" Yancai asked with shining eyes.
Qin Yao looked at Tieguai Li: "It doesn't matter what the song is, the important thing is that the problem is solved now. Laoguai, please contact Taibai Jinxing again. I have a hunch that I will be able to contact him now."
Tieguai Li didn't know why, and couldn't guess where Han Xiangzi's premonition came from, but he did not refuse, but did as he was told.
To the surprise of all the immortals, not long after the rune ascended to heaven, Taibai Jinxing's old face appeared above the courtyard.
"What's wrong with Tieguai Li?"
Old Jinxing smiled before saying anything and asked downwards.
Tieguai Li glanced at Qin Yao and said immediately: "Jinxing, the dream demon came just now."
Taibai Jinxing smiled and said solemnly: "Then what?"
Tieguai Li was silent for a moment and said: "Then he was called away by Han Xiangzi on the grounds of fighting music. I don't know what happened next."
Because of Qin Yao's subtle guidance, he now had a suspicion about the old man, and he would not tell the whole story if something happened.
Taibai Jinxing then looked at Qin Yao and asked: "Han Xiangzi, the dream demon doesn't care about you, does it?"
Qin Yao sighed: "Old Immortal Official, you don't know, I almost died in the hands of that dream demon. If I hadn't created a piece of music that interested him at the critical moment, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to see me now.
It’s my turn.”
"It's so serious." Taibai Jinxing said in surprise.
"That's not the case."
Qin Yao silently clenched his fists and said, "I want to know right now which bastard bet the Dream Demon and asked him to come to us. Maybe the old immortal official can help me figure it out?"
Taibai Jinxing's expression paused.
He knew it, but he couldn't say it.
If you tell me, it will involve the truth of the matter.
The Buddha can reveal this truth to the Eight Immortals, and the Jade Emperor can also reveal it to the Eight Immortals, but other knowing immortals are not qualified to do so.
After some pretentious calculations, Taibai Jinxing shook his head and said: "It can't be calculated, it can't be calculated. The other party must be no small matter."
"Even you can't figure it out, could it be the Dragon King himself?" Han Zhongli said.
Taibai Jinxing: "There is no evidence, please wait and talk nonsense, but you must know that disaster comes from your mouth."
Qin Yao was too lazy to watch his poor performance anymore and asked directly: "Old Immortal Official, can you tell us the tips of the Sixth Immortal? You always know this, right?"
Taibai Jinxing borrowed the donkey from the slope and said with a smile: "This sixth immortal, whose surname is Cao, is the uncle of the current dynasty."
"Uncle Cao Guo." Han Zhong left his mouth.
"That's right." Taibai Jinxing said, "If nothing else happens, this person is in the capital now."
Qin Yao's eyes flashed and he said loudly: "Jinxing, my friend who has been my classmate for ten years is now in the capital. It just so happens that his surname is Cao. Could it be that this uncle Cao should be in his body?"
"Yes, yes."
Han Zhongli clapped his fingers and said: "Han Xiangzi's childhood sweetheart is a member of the Eight Immortals, his childhood playmate is a member of the Eight Immortals, and his classmate for ten years may also be a member of the Eight Immortals, not to mention his surname is Cao."
Taibaijinxing: "..."
He suddenly regretted that the information he revealed seemed too direct...
"Whether it is true or not depends on whether he has divinity in his body and whether there are any marks on his body." Shao Qing and Taibai said in a deep voice: "You still need to go to Beijing to verify these two points."
"Okay." Tieguai Li responded loudly: "We will go to Beijing to find Uncle Cao Guo."
Taibai Jinxing nodded and said with a smile: "Do you have anything else to ask? If not, I will leave first."
"Yes." Qin Yao said: "I need three pills that make people only tell the truth."
Taibai Jinxing was stunned for a moment and said in astonishment: "What do you want this elixir for?"
Qin Yao explained: "There are smart people from all over the world gathered in the capital. The more smart people there are, the more people with evil thoughts. I need this elixir to protect me from criticism in the capital."
This reason is not wrong, but Taibai Jinxing still has doubts in his heart: "With your immortal strength, even if you are criticized, no one can do anything to you, right?"
Qin Yao shook his head: "Although it is unlikely to hurt me, the most important thing when we go to Beijing this time is the mission. I'm afraid it will affect the mission."
Taibai Jinxing pondered for a moment and said: "Give me a day, and I will send you the Mantra Pill early tomorrow morning."
"Okay, then let's get the elixirs and set off early tomorrow morning." Qin Yao said decisively.
Taibai Jinxing nodded slightly and immediately disappeared into the clouds.
Tieguai Li hesitated for a moment and looked directly at Qin Yao: "Han Xiangzi, do you know something we don't know?"
Qin Yao smiled and said, "I know, but I can't say it."
