Qin Yuelou rolled up his sleeves and held a large piece of tofu in the palm of his hand. The transparent glass jar was filled with water. Then he soaked the tofu in the water and carved it with the carving knife in his hand.
Carving three or two knives lightly and lightly, cutting, carving and scratching, the tofu removed by the carving knife slowly fell into the bottom of the vat. A beautifully carved tofu sculpture of Laughing Maitreya was lying on his side, with his chest exposed and his belly smiling.
His mouth was always open, as if he was actually laughing.
After Xiao Maitreya finished carving, he took out the tofu, placed it on the chopping board, squatted on the ground, and looked at his carving carefully.
"It feels okay." He touched his chin and made a good or bad evaluation of his work.
Then he threw the piece of tofu directly into his mouth. The cool tofu had no seasoning, but it could dissipate some of the psychological heat.
Finally, after finishing practice, Qin Yuelou continued to smoke hand-rolled cigarettes and sat at the door reading comics.
Qin Yuelou looked at the content of the comic and curled his lips, looking like he couldn't bear to look at it.
But not long after, Yuchi Hui arrived. Her servant drove a carriage, and she also stepped out of the carriage.
"Mr. Qin, do you have time?" Yu Chihui asked Qin Yuelou.
"You look hurried and a little anxious. Maybe something happened to your family, or maybe your family is more important than family. I think maybe something happened to your mirror grinder?" Qin Yuelou glanced at it.
Yuchi Hui glanced at it and said, and then added,
"Your next sentence is 'Mr. Qin, are you able to read minds?'."
"Mr. Qin, don't you have the ability to read minds?"
The two spoke in unison, and Yuchi Hui smiled helplessly: "Mr. Qin, you are such a strange person. It is true that something happened to my family, but..."
"Is it related to dreams? It seems so. It should be a nightmare, right? Many people don't remember the content of their dreams after waking up, but if you have nightmares for several nights in a row, there is indeed something wrong." Qin Yuelou
He directly used his six ears to listen to Yu Chihui's inner voice, "For the present plan, you'd better bring that girl out. At least my shop will be safe."
"Well, thank you very much, Mr. Qin. I will thank you deeply after everything is done." Yu Chihui said, then he picked up the little maid in the carriage and got out of the carriage.
"This is my personal maid, called Luzhu." Yuchi Hui introduced the maid's name to Qin Yuelou.
Qin Yuelou nodded and popped out a sleepy bug towards the maid. This was a product derived from the Dream Dao spell and could quickly make people fall asleep. Then Qin Yuelou entered Luzhu's dream world while half asleep and half awake.
.
As soon as he fell into the dream, Qin Yuelou was in a strange space, with tall buildings lined up in rows, and pedestrians walking in a hurry on the road, wearing quite "modern" clothes, but the means of transportation were a bit surprising.
Although it is also four-wheel drive, the fuel the engine relies on is not oil, let alone steam, but a strange engine.
Some warriors with strong bodies who could easily be seen as martial arts practitioners were resting lazily at each gas station. After a car came, a warrior opened the hood of the car and input the real information with one hand.
gas.
After accepting the cash, the car drove away again.
Qin Yuelou looked strange and wanted to see more, but the dream suddenly jumped again, like a movie with extremely abrupt transitions, without the slightest connection. The scene in this dream jumped to another place.
in an era of development.
It was as if before the Great Recession, brutal fightings quietly broke out among the human armies.
Then the jump continues, and in a certain period of time in the future, humans and monsters will live in harmony, and even land on the moon together.
A short dream jumps to more than a dozen different time periods, but no matter how the time jumps in the dream, there will always be a hunter who is determined to catch his prey and pursues him across dimensions.
"I see, you have provoked the hounds." Qin Yuelou held his forehead slightly helplessly, and he finally understood why Yu Chihui said Luzhu's dream was a nightmare.
"This can be regarded as a kind of innate magical power. For ordinary people, it is inevitable that it is a crime of holding a treasure, and if it loses control, it will attract hounds." Qin Yuelou thought to himself, "It's really a bit difficult, forget it, since it is all a dream
Tao, then it’s okay to analyze it, and then teach her my dream Tao after getting rid of the hound."
With a plan in mind, Qin Yuelou summoned the power of the dream world.
Guided by the dream, the power of the dream world of the great dream master quietly engulfed the dream world of this world, and then followed the clues to integrate the origin of the dream path magical power into the dream world.
However, when the dream power merged with the dream world of his own body, Qin Yuelou also dreamed of a familiar person.
"Is this...is it me?" Qin Yuelou was a little surprised.
The self in the dream seems to be a bookstore owner. The bookshelf is full of books, and he is writing at his desk.
Qin Yuelou glanced at it. The content seemed to be a mystery novel, and the pen name was [Qin Anyi]. I wonder if it was his real name.
"Is this...myself in the parallel world?" Qin Yuelou thought.
Then he realized that the slightly mutated dream path magical power that he had analyzed and copied had penetrated into his body in this world along the dream.
And this power was then transferred to the longer past, throughout his life.
It's like it spreads from both ends of the timeline and is firmly tied to its life.
"What on earth is going on here?" The cook was still unsure.
Then he noticed that there was a humanoid creature standing beside him at some point. This humanoid body was surrounded by a dark universe like a void, with many galactic-like spiral arms circulating endlessly.
"What are you...?" Qin Yuelou searched for the image of the old foreign gods in his mind. If there was any resemblance, the only one was Yog-Sothoth.
"First eliminate the wrong options Yog-Sothoth. I am system intelligent. You can call me Axi. Don't be so nervous. It is foreseeable that there will only be two of Qin Yuelou's clones in this round.
Two clones can come into contact with me. One is you, and the other is a white-haired clone who is regarded as a thorn in the flesh by Heaven. As for why I appear in front of you,
Children, do you have many questions?"
"Then why did you appear in front of me?" Qin Yuelou asked A Xi.
"It's very simple. Your dream world is connected to yourself in another world. Although it is only a short connection, it also brings changes to his dreams, allowing him to dream about the past and the future. But don't worry, his
The "Cthulhu Mythos" in the world is just a literary work and will not really appear in that world." Axi answered, "Forget it, his story is about to begin, but this is different from you now.
It’s irrelevant.”
"You came out specifically just to tell me these things, right?" the cook asked A Xi.
"Of course not. I'm just here to remind you that the dream world created by the Great Dream Lord can connect to various parallel worlds. Just be careful not to let the old people notice other worlds through your dream world. Just now you
Fortunately, the dream world is only connected to that parallel world, and I secretly shielded the old ones from prying eyes. Otherwise, the old ones might go to that world, capture a universe first, and then create a new one through the power system of that universe.
The terrible thing, the old people have now realized the truth of the multiverse, Junqu Pavilion
The level of power in other worlds is too low, and they would only cause extremely terrible things in the past."
Axi answered.
"So, we are on the same front?" the cook asked A Xi.
"Indeed, we are on the same front, but do you want me to tell you about this now? I will reveal a corner of the truth for you, and also reveal a corner of the truth for others. You can also think about this matter carefully.
Do you want to tell your other brothers?" Ah Xi seemed to be smiling as he spoke.
"Then tell me." Qin Yuelou nodded.
"First of all, you already know the setting of the parallel world. Then, do you want to know the origin of the rewards for those sign-in tasks?"
"You've said so, then aren't the origins of these rewards mine from the parallel world? For example, the master of the divine and demonic weapons?"
"There are countless parallel universes, but if they are classified, they can also be planned as a [multiverse system]. The [multiverse system] we are currently in belongs to the abbreviated [Dajing] universe system.
, that is to say, every magical power given to you, every thing you can redeem, comes from you who have become enlightened in Dajing, which was captured by the old days.
Then it expanded from the Dajing Universe System into a large universe system such as "Worlds Eyed by the Old Ones" and "Worlds Already Captured by the Old Ones". Let's call it "Old Invasion" system for the time being.
You can understand the person who created me as... the body of resentment that is formed by the resentment of you who have been burdened with the dead system. His obsession is to make all the old people in this universe die.
It was thrown away, and what we created was distributed to you without exception."
"So it has failed so many times." The cook felt a heavy heaviness after listening to the system's light words.
"And the strong or high-status people who were polluted by the old days have all turned into new old days. These new old days, without exception, want to capture other universe systems, that is,
It is said that the current cosmic system is like a ball of water, gradually dripping in the ink called the past, and you are a very small amount of clear water that has entered the world of Dajing.
Naturally, the natives of Dajing do not know what the old days are, and there are very few reborn travelers who know the old days. Therefore, a collection of resentments united and created me to shield the old days from prying into other universes, and will
Put things from other universes into the mall,
Then it attracted your soul and fell into the body of you who died young."
After hearing this, the cook was silent for a long time, and then said after a moment: "In other words, we came to Dajing because other 'us' led us? Because we understand the old days?"
After hearing this, the system shook its head: "It's not because you know the past, or for any other reason. You are just lucky but not lucky. Your unwillingness and resentment before your death happened to be gathered by the resentment of you who also died.
It’s just captured by the body,
They didn't take your ideas into consideration because you weren't qualified,
And they also took a step of leisure and gave you one of the prepared systems, that is, me."
"I have a question, why don't they go to confront the old ones in person?" Qin Yuelou asked, "They obviously look more powerful."
"Because the old days had immortality, the old universe originally came from Azathoth, the only source god who blindly eats fish. The immortality of the old days also comes from this, but the old days will also die, and this death will
It's Azathoth who is about to wake up, so the Old Ones will go out in full force to find other worlds in order to survive.
However, while Azathoth was half asleep and half awake, he also discovered other worlds that the Old Ones had conquered and were about to conquer, which were eyeing the [Old Invasion] system. It would not look like it was blindly eating fish.
No matter what other things you do, the root pollution will still leak out, and this is one of the scary things about the One Source Pillar God."
"I don't understand, what is the One Source Pillar God?" the cook asked.
"Think of the universe as a group. There are many old universes, and Azathoth is the only one of the old universes, because all the old universes come from blindly eating fish.
Azathoth's half-dream and half-awake awareness of other cosmic systems also discovered the [One Upper World], and the two cosmic systems began to compete with each other.
As for the unique upper bound, you can also understand it as the "unique" in a multiverse system.
The two supreme beings began to contain each other,
The Patriarchs of the Three Purities took turns to observe Azathoth, and Azathoth was also observing the Patriarchs of the Three Purities while half asleep, so the high-level combat power of the two parties could not end in person.
What makes people feel desperate is that,
Although the founders of the Three Purities were able to kill Azathoth, the old universe system needed Azathoth, so Azathoth and the old universe system complemented each other, creating a tricky immortality."
The cook was stunned for a long time after listening to the system's words.
"This is a corner of the truth, can you still hold on?" the system asked Qin Yuelou.
Qin Yuelou waved his hand and said, "I can't hold it anymore. Can you help me seal this memory until I become a Taoist master?"
"Of course it's possible." The system nodded, "After all, I'm not a devil. Anyway, the hosts I met all failed without exception. In those worlds occupied by the old days, there are many of you.
, Xuanyuan Zhenwu, who is inferior to you, is also the second host I have seen in my life, and the first is you, although you really make me feel like I can win."
"But I don't think we can win." Qin Yuelou said bitterly.
"Think about the dream you had. Although the future is changeable, you did witness a peaceful future from Lulu's dream, didn't you? Since there is some possibility, you should seize it.
.
As long as there is still hope, don’t give up.”
——
Qin Yuelou woke up. He always felt that this dream was very long, but he couldn't remember certain parts clearly. He attributed these to his newly acquired supernatural powers.
After looking at Luzhu and Yuchihui, Qin Yuelou also thought about it, and then he put a layer of cement on all the corners of the shop and made the corners as round as possible.
But he still left a corner and let Lulu sit in the room.
He was sitting next to Lulu, flipping through a book produced in this world. If you like Liaozhai, Not Cthulhu, please collect it: (www.sodu777.net) Liaozhai, Not Cthulhu, search novel website updates
