These two were the entire content of his dream. While he was immersed in this dream, he felt that he had been practicing all the time.
Just because he and this mysterious woman can relieve each other's worries, answer questions, and resolve many problems he encountered in his practice.
With this woman, he can always find answers that are most consistent with reality.
And this woman can get the same thing from him.
Only as time went by, Gu Qingyang gradually became able to vaguely feel what was happening in the outside world.
He probably knew that half of his physical body had been destroyed, and that his body was once again only a skeleton of life.
He even knew that in the real world outside, there was an extremely large earthworm pulling his body.
He was taken to a dark, extremely humid place. That place had the earthy smell that he was most familiar with, as well as the energy of life.
And to be honest.
Such a discovery also made Gu Qingyang in the dream world feel extremely puzzled. Because this earthworm did not seem to regard him as food.
He knew very well that if it really regarded him as food, it could swallow him up and then refine him.
In this way, no matter what, it can gain more or less power from him and refine something from him.
But, it didn't do that. It seemed to have taken him back to its lair, and then guarded him.
Even if there is flesh and blood on his body that is reborn, it will not care about it, let alone devour it.
"It's protecting me, how is this possible?"
For a moment, such a discovery made Gu Qingyang, who was in the dream world, stunned.
It was difficult for him to understand, let alone explain, the behavior of this big earthworm. However, just when Gu Qingyang was confused, a voice sounded.
"You don't have to wonder about these things."
"Everything in the world is born with spirit."
"I can sense another extremely unique breath in your body. That breath doesn't seem to be part of you."
"If you want to use the knowledge of the soul to explain this kind of thing, then I think it is equivalent to the existence of another soul in you."
"If this little thing looks at you from the perspective of a soul, then you should be a person with two souls in its eyes."
"Desolate beasts are not as complicated as humans."
"In this world, most wild beasts have pure minds. So, do you think it will regard you as one of its kind?"
"What?"
…
The mysterious woman's voice was extremely soft, but hearing such words in Gu Qingyang's ears made Gu Qingyang's conscious body's pupils shrink.
At this moment, he was completely shocked by these words, making him unable to distinguish between what was reality and what was illusion.
It made him realize even more.
The person he cared about most may have just survived in another way, and was not completely dead.
But at the same time, when he looked at the woman again, his eyes couldn't help but have a sense of vigilance and defensiveness.
This was not because Gu Qingyang did this deliberately, but because what he had just realized aroused his most instinctive desire to protect.
for that person.
For the person who died because of him and sacrificed everything to become who he is now.
He had regrets and guilt in his heart, and he could not forgive himself.
Since that person left, he has put a layer of shackles on all his emotions.
The shackles were a kind of punishment he gave himself. As long as they existed, he would feel terrible pain all the time.
Every day in the past, he lived in this world painfully and freely in a way that others could not detect.
But now, someone has noticed all this.
Therefore, even though he is still not sure whether that person is still alive, he still instinctively wants to protect everything about the two of them.
Even if the person who knew this was the most special and strange fellow Taoist he had ever encountered in his life.
What made Gu Qingyang even more nervous was that the mysterious woman seemed to have expected all of this after seeing his reaction.
She was not disappointed, nor did she show any surprise or confusion.
She just stood silently in this world full of darkness, using her silence to bring light to Gu Qingyang.
And Gu Qingyang just stared at her, speechless for a moment. He also understood that he was the one who had lost his composure just now, and was also being disrespectful invisibly.
However, he didn't want to apologize, and he didn't have any desire to apologize. He stared at the woman in front of him.
For the first time in his life, he felt fear.
However, he didn't know whether the fear in his heart was directed at the woman in front of him or at something unknown.
"You're scared."
"But what you are afraid of is not me, but yourself. You are afraid that what you have done is not good enough, and you are afraid that you will lose again."
"When I entered Taoism, I practiced the way of music. Therefore, I know that some sounds in this world only exist in the hearts of others."
"What I want to tell you is that you don't need to be like this. At least when facing me, you don't need to be like this."
"I'm not your enemy."
"Our paths are connected because we are the same kind of people in a sense, not because our paths conflict."
"Perhaps, you still can't understand what I mean by these words. But I believe that in the future, you will definitely understand."
…
The mysterious woman spoke.
The first words she said revealed Gu Qingyang's thoughts clearly and cleanly.
What was Gu Qingyang thinking? Some things in Gu Qingyang's thoughts that even he himself couldn't explain clearly were explained clearly by her.
And this was the first time that Gu Qingyang was deeply shocked by her performance since he met her in a dream.
Just at the same time.
In the dream world, Gu Qingyang's conscious body failed to notice that at the source of endless light, the woman was also smiling.
Unfortunately, he couldn't see her face clearly, so it was even more impossible for him to see her expression. But how could Gu Qingyang know her mood?
At this moment, her thoughts were simple.
She was thinking that before that, she got along with Gu Qingyang and discussed Taoism in dreams. The person who can shock a person is always Gu Qingyang.
Only this time, it seemed that she took the initiative and shocked Gu Qingyang, which could be regarded as a win.
"You are such a strange woman."
"I have some expectations. I suddenly want to know if there are people like you in this world."
"Promise me that if one day we meet in real life, please don't peek into my heart in this way."
"If we are just fellow Taoists, I hope you can retain a bit of dignity for me and let me have my own ideas."
…
After a while, Gu Qingyang was no longer silent.
He suppressed his shock and spoke with a smile on his face, his eyes even more apologetic, as if he was apologizing, but not as if he was not.
However, in the process of telling, the smile on his face changed from a normal smile to a bitter smile.
Although the woman was silent, Gu Qingyang could intuitively feel that her silence seemed to be a kind of promise.
In other words, she agreed.
However, just when Gu Qingyang wanted to continue discussing Taoism, an extremely strong pain caused his dream world to begin to collapse.
"goodbye."
The moment before the dream world disappeared completely, the woman spoke softly and said goodbye to him. Gu Qingyang was keenly aware of it.
This time, this mysterious woman seemed to have undergone some kind of change. There seemed to be some special emotional fluctuations in her voice.
It's a pity that whether in his previous life or in this life, he always knows very little about emotions.
Therefore, he could not fully understand the hidden meaning of this woman's words.
But at the same time, somewhere in this wild world filled with clouds and mist.
A beautiful woman in white no longer played the guqin in front of her, but slowly took off the veil on her face and stared at the world.
"What a piece of wood."
This mysterious woman stared at the world in front of her for a long time before speaking leisurely. There seemed to be a hint of melancholy in her voice.
Moreover, her opening her mouth also caused the ethereal and immortal aura in her body to disappear without a trace in an instant.
At the same time, behind the mysterious woman in white, a woman who was similar to her but extremely different was also stunned.
The woman in white had a bloody red plum embroidered on her clothes. But now, she also no longer had the ethereal aura of immortality.
"Teacher, Master, what did you just say?"
The latter spoke slowly, and although his voice was relatively soft, his words were full of unbelievable meaning.
"Amei, you must have heard wrong."
"I have no words."
"That means Amei heard wrongly."
"Yes, Amei must have heard wrongly."
…
Before he finished speaking, the woman named Amei disappeared without a trace.
And in this place, the only one left was the mysterious woman, with blushing cheeks and a sense of loss.
"Um--"
However, after a while, in another place far away from that place, the woman named Amei stopped.
She made a sound that seemed to be sighing or wanting to express something. But in the end, she still chose to remain silent.
However, Amei's expression was not calm.
She looked a little dull and melancholy at first, but then a wry smile appeared on her face.
Until the end, the bitter smile completely disappeared from her face. Her face returned to calm again, and there was even a little hope in her eyes.
She has been practicing for a long time.
She can also see through many things in this world. That's why she knows that everyone has his own destiny and his own path.
She thought about her master's affairs for a long time.
And the result of her meditation was that no matter how long she thought about it, it would never be as good as her master's idea.
To put it bluntly, this matter was her master's business. Even though she cared more about her master, she could only watch silently.
If this thing is a good thing, then when it is time to bless her, she will give her most sincere blessings. If this thing is not a good thing, she will naturally take action.
So, this kind of thing is actually very simple.
However, at the same time, Gu Qingyang did not have such a relaxed and comfortable life as the two of them. At this moment, he was suffering from extremely terrible pain.
