Volume 2: Secret Realm Reincarnation Chapter 213 A young man’s dream!
Next to a forest, there is a strange terrain.
This place is surrounded by mountains on three sides and a river on one side, forming a small basin.
It is in this basin that there is a village of hundreds of people, where the villagers live in harmony.
It was evening, and the villagers who had worked outside were preparing to return home and were bending over in the fields to pack up their farm tools.
At this time, behind a big rock by the river, a young boy was lying and taking a nap.
He was originally sleeping behind a big rock at noon, using the rock to block the sunlight. At this time, in the evening, the sun moved to the west and the sunlight shone on his body, waking him up.
"Why did I sleep for so long and have such a strange dream?"
The young man rubbed his eyes, a deep confusion appeared in his eyes, and he muttered to himself, as if he was recalling the scene in his dream.
After a while, the confusion in the boy's eyes disappeared. Seeing that it was getting late, he got up and ran home immediately.
"Xiao Feng, slow down, don't fall."
At this time, many villagers who were working also carried their farm tools and walked home. One of them saw the young man running home and immediately shouted.
"Uncle Wang, let's go home for dinner." The young man answered loudly.
After the boy finished speaking, he ignored Uncle Wang who was shaking his head and smiling, and ran home again.
"Mom, I'm back." The boy was shouting before he even entered the house.
"Hey, go wash your hands and get ready for dinner." A woman's voice came from the kitchen, instructing the boy.
"I'm back." At the same time, a big man walked into the house and put down the farm tools in his hands.
"Dad, come and sit down. Dinner will be served soon." The woman in the kitchen smiled and replied immediately after hearing this.
With the woman's quick preparation, the three of them soon sat down at the table and began to eat happily.
"Xiao Feng, where did you go to fool around today?" the big man asked the young man casually while eating.
There was no blame in his tone, he was just casually asking what his son was doing today.
"I fell asleep by the river at noon today and had a very long and strange dream!" the boy replied.
"Oh, what's that strange dream?" asked the middle-aged man after hearing it.
"I dreamed that I became an immortal, and killed many, many immortals who were also able to practice cultivation." The young man tilted his head to recall a little and answered.
"My son has actually become an immortal, and a fierce star among immortals." The big man laughed heartily after hearing this.
"Xiaofeng has become an immortal, so he will rarely come back to the village, right?" After hearing this, the woman felt a little lost. Her beloved son left home.
"After I went to practice Taoism, I rarely went back to the village." The young man thought of the scene in his dream and became extremely depressed.
He thought that his ability to become an immortal was based on a catastrophe happening in the village.
In that dream, all the villagers and parents were beheaded, leaving only him!
"Why don't you go back to the village more often?" asked the boy's mother.
"Because in the dream, all the villagers were killed by someone else..." The young man told everything in his dream in a low voice.
The story was very long and was not finished until late at night. The woman had even replaced several of the candles used for lighting.
"In my dream, although I became an immortal, I didn't like that kind of life."
"That dream was so real, as if it really happened." The boy murmured after he finished speaking, and a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes again, as if he could not tell whether the dream was true or false.
"Xiaofeng, that was just a dream, it's not real. Such a tragedy will not happen." After listening to his son's story about the dream, the big man patted his shoulder and comforted him.
"Yes, Xiaofeng, don't worry about it. Your parents are here for you. It's getting late, go to bed." The woman also comforted him.
After hearing his parents' comfort, the boy named Xiaofeng felt much more at ease. He put away his disappointment and went back to his room to sleep.
His parents, the big man and the woman also looked at each other, and without thinking too much about the boy's dream, they also fell asleep.
The next day, the sun rose as usual, and the boy did not have any more dreams at night, but he was still worried in his heart.
He was worried that his dream would come true, which would mean that the entire village would be massacred by the immortals of the evil cult!
He originally dreamed of becoming an immortal, but if becoming an immortal meant losing his parents, he would rather not have that!
That day, he told this dream to his three playmates and expressed his worries.
"How could our village attract immortals to slaughter us? This dream is too fake." One of them, named Ergou, smiled after hearing this, not worried at all that this dream would come true.
"Yeah, yeah, don't worry about it." The other two also echoed.
The young man had no choice but to let go of his worries and stop thinking about it.
"Where are we going to get food today?" Ergou asked, his eyes flashing with greed, and even his stomach growling, as if his saliva was about to drop.
The four of them often went up the mountain to catch wild rabbits and went down to the river to catch fish and shrimp. They ate a lot of delicious food and were real foodies.
"Hahaha, you didn't have breakfast, did you?"
Ergou's hungry look made Xiaofeng and the other two couldn't help laughing.
"It's quite hot today, let's go to the river and have a swim." Xiao Feng pondered for a moment and made the decision.
"Okay." The other three agreed without any objection.
Xiaofeng is the smartest of the four, and the other three are used to following his arrangements.
Several people quickly arrived at the river, first checked on the shore which area had more fish and shrimps, and prepared to choose a place to go into the water.
At this moment, they saw a creature with a green shell on its back in the water, swimming slowly in the water with its four short legs.
"What is this? I've never seen it before?" Ergou asked curiously.
"This thing looks like a turtle. I heard it would taste very delicious if stewed into soup." Xiao Feng explained after taking a closer look.
"There is only this one river in our Taoyuan Village. This is the first time we see a turtle. We can finally try some new game." After hearing this, the other three jumped directly into the river. The four of them were frequent fishers and shrimpers in the river and were very good at swimming.
The three people who jumped into the water didn't care about their clothes getting wet. They were more worried that the turtle would escape. They dispersed and surrounded the turtle and immediately tried to grab it.
"Yeah, I'm tired of eating fish, shrimp and hares." Ergou sighed, staring at the turtle, drooling at the corners of his mouth.
The three men had a special liking for wild game, and when they heard that turtles could be made into delicious food, they jumped into the river to catch them without hesitation.
"Ouch! It hurts!" Sanniu who was in the water suddenly cried out in pain. It turned out that when he grabbed the turtle and was about to go ashore, the turtle turned around and bit his thumb!
Sanniu screamed in pain and waved his hands and shook the turtle a few times, but the turtle not only did not let go, but bit it even tighter!
The turtle even retracted its head and feet into its shell, leaving Sanniu with nowhere to attack.
Ergou and Tiedan, who went into the water with Sanniu, immediately stepped forward to help. Just as they were about to grab the turtle and pull it apart, they were stopped by Xiaofeng who was still on the shore.
"Don't pull. The more you pull, the tighter it bites. Ergou, run to the village and get the big gong from the ancestral hall."
After hearing this, Ergou immediately went ashore and ran towards the village ancestral hall.
"Tiedan, hold on to the turtle and come ashore with Sanniu first." Xiaofeng was completely different , and made arrangements in an orderly manner.
When Sanniu and his companion came ashore, Xiaofeng suddenly realized that the incident of Sanniu being bitten today seemed familiar!
This is exactly what happened in the dream!
In the dream, Sanniu was also bitten on the thumb by a turtle.
On the second day after this incident, men in black robes broke into the village and massacred the entire village!
Is this a sign that the dream is about to come true?
That would be a nightmare that would turn the entire village into a living hell!
A strong sense of worry emerged in the boy's heart, he didn't want to see this dream become reality!
Ergou quickly took the big gong from the ancestral hall, and Xiaofeng hit it hard. The turtle was frightened and let go. Then the villagers heard the gong and rushed to the river.
Xiaofeng was very familiar with these scenes, as they all appeared in his dreams.
Xiaofeng was no longer in good mood at this time, and did not even answer the villagers' questions. It was Sanniu and the others who explained.
Xiao Feng's father, the big man Li Tang, noticed his son's abnormality and walked up to him and asked with concern: "Xiao Feng, what's wrong with you? Are you hurt?"
"Dad, the dream I had came true!" Xiao Feng woke up after hearing his father's words. He decided to change everything and not let what happened in the dream become reality!
"In my dream, the day before, Sanniu was bitten by a turtle, and the next day, an immortal descended on the village and slaughtered all the villagers!"
Li Tang noticed that his son was uneasy and was shocked. He told the villagers about his son Xiaofeng's dream.
"Can a little kid's dream be taken seriously?" Many villagers questioned and did not believe that this would come true.
Taoyuan Village has always been isolated from the outside world, with no outsiders ever entering, and everyone has gotten used to it.
And it was just a dream, too illusory.
"We have to be on guard against this. The sky above the village is open, so it's possible that an immortal might fall down!" Li Tang spoke loudly, drowning out everyone else's voice.
"Let's take tomorrow as a day of rest. The whole village should hide in the edge of the forest outside the village!" Li Tang decided after thinking for a while.
After a brief debate, the villagers finally decided to vote by raising their hands, but the majority trusted Li Tang, so the matter was quickly settled.
Xiaofeng's father, Li Tang, is the only doctor in the village. Most of the villagers have been treated by him and are grateful to him.
The Taoyuan Village was extremely united. After a show of hands vote, no one had any more objections and everyone followed Li Tang's advice.
Li Tang further supplemented the plan for tomorrow and emphasized several points that needed attention.
Only then did Xiaofeng breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that this should allow him to avoid the nightmare of the village being massacred.
At night, every family prepared dry food for the next day, and without wasting any time, everyone went to bed early.
The next day, the whole village woke up at dawn, carrying dry food and sharp farm tools, and even sprinkled a layer of mud on the furniture in their homes before leaving.
This was Li Tang's idea, in case some immortals really landed in the village. Even if they found the village, they would think that no one lived there and leave because it was covered in dust.
If the dust wasn’t spread, they might search around and the village would have difficulty escaping this disaster!
Then all the villagers went through the only exit of the village, a narrow cave in the mountain, came out into the outside world, and hid at the edge of the forest.
The farm tools that the villagers brought were precisely to guard against the ferocious beasts that might burst out of the forest.
