In Chang Zai's impression, most of these immortals had their eyes on the top of their heads. Now that this person in front of him was so polite to him, he was at a loss for what to do.
The middle-aged Daoist sighed. "We were close friends in our previous lives, so I've come to take a look in this life."
Chang Zai didn't understand what he was talking about, but he felt that this Daoist was very close. Thinking about the matter of the immortal palace, he raised his small face and clenched his fists, asking expectantly, "Is Daoist here to accept me as a disciple?"
The middle-aged Daoist sighed. "How would I dare to teach Fellow Daoist? However, here is a technique that was passed down by Fellow Daoist's master. I'll pass it on to Fellow Daoist now." He reached out to touch the space between Chang Zai's brows, and the latter found that there was something extra in his mind, and he fell into a half-asleep state.
When Chang Zai woke up again, he found that the sky had already turned dark, and that Daoist was nowhere to be seen. There were rules for entering and leaving the immortal palace every day, and if he didn't go back now, he would be late. He exclaimed and hurried back.
Shen Tong stood there and watched Chang Zai's figure gradually disappear into the distance. Then, he turned around and bowed to a place where no one was, saying, "Greetings, Sect Leader Wei."
Wei Zihong's sleeves fluttered, and he walked out of nothingness, saying, "Sect Leader Shen, you're here too."
Shen Tong said, "Fellow Daoist Han and I hit it off very well back then. This time, he reincarnated and has a chance of entering Dao, but there were some twists and turns along the way, so I came to protect him. But I think I've been meddlesome."
Wei Zihong smiled and said, "What are you talking about? Back then, Sect Master Shen also cultivated under Master's tutelage and is a good friend of Junior Martial Brother Han, so you can be considered as one of us. Moreover, as a sect master, Fellow Daoist has personally come to protect us, so I must thank you."
Shen Tong said in a low voice, "Sect Master Wei, I think that Fellow Daoist Han's aptitude is not bad, it's just that he lacks a Dao heart. If he were to start over again in this life, if we don't bring him back first and let him experience the mortal world instead, perhaps it would be a good thing for him." He paused for a moment before continuing, "Speaking of which, I am not a disciple of Zhao You Sect. I hope that Sect Master Wei will not take offense to my rash words."
Wei Zihong sighed, "Sect Leader Shen's words are a testament to our friendship. How could I take offense?"
Actually, even though he'd come under Zhang Yan's orders this time, it wasn't for the sake of taking this Junior Brother's reincarnated body back, and it was instead to take care of this Junior Brother so that he wouldn't lose his life. He understood the meaning behind this, and it was to use the matters of the mortal world to temper his heart so that he wouldn't repeat the mistakes of his previous life.
In the capital city of the Bai Kingdom, the King of the Bai Kingdom had a dream. He heard a voice that sounded like a woman's laughter, but it was not someone he was familiar with. He felt that it was strange. He looked around and realized that there were no guards around him. He called out a few times, but no one came. He took his bow and arrow and followed the voice.
Not long after, he arrived at the backyard and saw a strange monster that looked like a deer and a cow playing among the flowers and grasses. It was also eating the strange flowers and grasses around it.
When he saw it, he couldn't help but fly into a rage. He took his bow and arrow and shot.
The monster jumped and dodged the arrow. Just Now, he realized that there was a small person standing on the back of the beast. The person took the slingshot and shot at him, hitting him right on the forehead.
The King of the Bai Kingdom let out a cry and sat up, only to realize that it was just a dream. He felt an unbearable pain on his forehead, and immediately asked someone to bring a bronze mirror to look at it, only to find a red spot there.
He was also bewildered and immediately set off to the temple to worship, but the Divine Lord didn't respond at all. This made him even more uneasy, and he had to find many priests to interpret the dream.
Some priests thought that it was a warning from the heavens to the monarch. The monarch had done something disrespectful to his subjects and the heavens, but this was only a small offense, so they sent celestial envoys to enter the dream to warn him.
Another priest said that there was a villain who had ruined the country, and that the monarch needed to examine himself, so that he could stay close to the virtuous people and stay away from the villains.
However, there were also priests who thought that the birth of a strange beast in the backyard was an auspicious sign for the country, and that there was no need to worry about it.
In short, there were many opinions, but none of them satisfied the King of the Bai Kingdom.
At this time, someone came and suggested, "My lord, in the celestial palace, there is a child named 'Yi Gan'. He can distinguish good and bad, and can interpret dreams. Why don't we ask him to come and see us?"
When the King of the Bai Kingdom heard this, he immediately ordered someone to find the child and asked about it.
Yi Gan was still shivering at first, but when he asked about the dream interpretation, his eyes turned black, and his pupils disappeared. It was as if he had suddenly turned into a different person. With a deep and hoarse voice, he said, "This thing is called the Deer of the Morning Cry, also known as the Dream-Eater. It feeds on the dreams of the rich, and when it is full, it will naturally retreat without any hindrance. However, if someone is disrespectful to it, or tries to harm it, it will start to devour the memory of the person after eating the dream, and that person will no longer remember anyone around him or even his own name. "
The King of the Bai Kingdom was shocked. He had used a bow to shoot the deer, and it was obvious that he had offended the strange beast. He hurriedly asked, "Is there any way to solve it?"
Yi Gan said, "My lord is a Marquis, and your dreams are abundant. It will take about thirty days to finish eating. As long as you can find the Deer of the Morning Cry within thirty days, or kill it, or drive it away, then you will be fine."
The King of the Bai Kingdom asked again, "Then can I ask the Divine Monarch to protect me?"
Yi Gan said, "The Deer of the Morning Cry is a strange beast reared by an immortal from overseas. I am afraid that the Divine Monarch is unable to control it."
The King of the Bai Kingdom was also enlightened. No wonder when he went to the temple to worship, there was no response. He said, "Then can it be that I need to ask the immortal for help?"
Yi Gan said, "My lord, do you remember the little person on the back of the Deer of the Morning Cry?"
The King of the Bai Kingdom said, "Of course I remember." He subconsciously touched his forehead. Speaking of which, he was injured by the little person's slingshot.
Yi Gan said, "The little person riding on the back of the deer is a hint from the heavens that you can use it to subdue the strange beast. However, if you don't use it well, it may be disadvantageous to my lord."
The King of the Bai Kingdom frowned. "Little person? Little person? "He thought again. Wasn't this Yi Gan a 'little person'? He said, "Can you subdue the Dream Beast?"
Yi Gan shook his head. "I can't, but there is someone who can."
"Who is that person?"
Yi Gan said, "That person's name is Chang Zai."
The King of the Bai Kingdom had never heard of this name. He looked to his left and right, and the manager of the Immortal Palace said, "This is also the Zhan Bearer of the Palace. This child is famous for his ability to control beasts and birds."
"Controlling beasts and birds? Then he can control the Dreameater? "
The King of the Bai Kingdom's expression darkened. He immediately ordered, "Pass my order, bring this child here and order him to find the Dreameater. If he succeeds, I will reward him greatly. If he fails, he will be thrown into the river and his entire clan will be reduced to slaves."
Four hours later, Chang Zai was brought outside the King's Hall.
The manager of the Immortal Palace first comforted him for a while, then said, "Chang Zai, if you can find that strange beast, His Majesty will reward you handsomely. If you can't find it, he will punish you and your parents!"
Chang Zai was afraid, but he had to act according to the order.
He had an ability. As long as he thought of a certain kind of bird or beast in his mind, even if he had never seen it before, he could summon it.
Not long after, he heard a cry, and the figure of the Dreameater Beast appeared in his mind. He knew that he had found the master. Just as he was about to call it out, he saw that the beast was crying non-stop.
He was a little curious, so he asked with his mind. Immediately, he knew the cause and effect of the matter. He couldn't bear it, but if it was only his matter, he would let it go. But his parents would also be implicated, so he had to do this. At this time, he suddenly thought of an idea and found the manager of the Immortal Palace and made a request.
The manager of the Immortal Palace declined to comment and told him to wait where he was. He then came to the front of the King of the Bai Kingdom and said, "My lord, that child has found the Chao Ming Deer. He said he can summon it by himself, but he begs my lord to release the strange beast. He can persuade the beast to retreat."
The King of the Bai Kingdom was very dissatisfied. He said unhappily, "A mere boy holding a cup dares to talk terms with me?"
The manager of the Immortal Palace said, "My lord, I think we can do this …" He came up and whispered a few words.
The King of the Bai Kingdom said, "Very well, let's do this."
The manager of the Immortal Palace returned to where Chang Zai was and said, "My lord has agreed. As long as you let the Dreameater Beast appear in front of the monarch, kneel and admit its mistake, and promise never to come again, you will let it go."
Chang Zai was very happy to hear this and closed his eyes. After a while, when he opened them again, the Dreameater Beast had appeared in front of him out of thin air.
The manager of the Immortal Palace was shocked, but his expression didn't change. He said, "Come with me."
Chang Zai followed him into the throne room.
The King of the Bai Kingdom looked at the Chao Ming Deer and said, "Are you willing to admit your mistake?"
The Chao Ming Deer let out a cry and knelt down.
The King of the Bai Kingdom acted as if he didn't see it and asked again, "Are you willing to admit your mistake?"
Chang Zai wanted to say that the Chao Ming Deer couldn't speak, but was stopped by the manager of the Immortal Palace.
The King of the Bai Kingdom had already asked for the third time. Immediately, an official came out and said, "This beast refuses to admit its mistake. I beg my lord to order it to be slaughtered."
The King of the Bai Kingdom said expressionlessly, "Granted."
There was a prohibition set up by the rogue cultivators in the hall, so there was no fear that the Chao Ming Deer would escape again. Immediately, an attendant came forward and hacked the beast to death.
Chang Zai had never thought that this would be the result. He was stunned for a moment and then became angry. As if sensing his thoughts, the Iron-feathered Mysterious Eagle on his shoulder flew up. However, before it could reach a high altitude, an arrow shot out like lightning and pierced through its body. It fell down with a wail.
On the stairs, a guard in golden armor put down his bow and arrow without any expression.
Chang Zai was still a child after all. Seeing this, he rushed forward with a cry and held up the eagle with tears all over his face. He found that the once powerful wings had become extremely weak.
The manager of the Immortal Palace asked, "My lord, what should we do with this child?"
The King of the Bai Kingdom hesitated and said, "Lock him up first."
Although he didn't like Chang Zai, he didn't know if he would encounter such a thing in the future. Maybe this child would be useful then.
Chang Zai was immediately taken away by the attendant and imprisoned in a small stone room. He wiped his tears and sat there hugging his knees, sobbing from time to time. His little face was full of regret.
After a long time, he heard a sigh and found that the middle-aged Taoist he saw during the day was standing in front of him again. He stood up at once and wiped away his tears, saying, "Taoist? Why are you here? "
Shen Dong looked at him and said, "Do you know what you did wrong this time?"
Chang Zai thought about it and lowered his head, saying, "I shouldn't have believed the manager and my lord's words."
Shen Dong said in a low voice, "No, your mistake is that you're just a boy holding a cup, but you want to reason with the Emperor." He spoke slowly as if he wanted to imprint these words into Chang Zai's heart. "In this world, power comes before reason. You're just a child without power or influence. Even if I bully you, what can you do? If you're the ruler of a country with millions of subjects behind you, then the King of the Bai Kingdom will treat your words seriously. If you're a Divine Monarch or someone who has entered the Dao, then the King of the Bai Kingdom won't dare to go against your wishes! In the end, it's because you're weak! If you're strong enough, you can move heaven and earth with a word and shock ghosts and gods with a word! "
