The mother of salted fish became popular in the baby complex by fortune-telling

Chapter 176 In the illusion, the fear that people face directly

Lu Ci'an screamed while looking around in the vast space.

But soon, a medieval manor with red roof and white walls appeared before his eyes.

The flower gardens around the manor are full of blooming hydrangeas of various colors, which are particularly pleasing to the eye.

In front of the flower garden, there is a stretch of green grass. On the grass, an eight or nine-year-old girl is learning metaphysics from a man in a black robe.

"Ci'an, see clearly. This is how the spell of this exorcism talisman is drawn? One stroke can't be stopped. When drawing the talisman, you have to recite the spell silently without distracting thoughts, and let your breath sink into your dantian. Do you remember?"

The man in black turned his head to look at the little girl who was facing the void symbol.

"Isn't this... when I was a child?"

Looking at the big and small figures, Lu Ci'an actually had the illusion of traveling through time and space.

Why would she see herself as a child?Could it be that she came out of the book and wore it back to her childhood?
She was about to go up to ask for clarification, but as soon as she moved her footsteps, the portrait in front of her disappeared like a broken mirror.

When the image reappeared in front of her eyes, she was standing on the top floor of the manor, and there was a raging fire downstairs.

"Ci'an, jump down, to become the heir of Taoism, this is the test you must go through, you must overcome the fear in your heart!"

Hearing this familiar voice overlapped with some old memories in her mind, Lu Ci'an almost subconsciously looked to her side, standing on the edge of the roof with tears in her eyes, hesitating and daring not to jump down, "Myself ".

She heard herself cry hoarsely, "I don't want to, I don't want to jump, I will be burned to death, I'm afraid of heights, I don't want to die!"

"Ci'an, you must dance, this is the test you must pass to become the heir of Taoism!"

The man in black appeared behind "myself" again.

Regardless of her pitiful begging eyes, he pushed her off the top floor.

"don't want--"

Lu Ci'an then yelled, and after that, only a frightened face was left, fixed in her pupils.

Lu Ci'an shivered suddenly, closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, the person standing on the top floor became her.

Downstairs, there is a raging fire, like a monster with its mouth open and spouting blood. As long as she jumps down, it can swallow her into ashes in an instant.

She looked at the flames downstairs, and the man in black robes appeared beside her, but she said the exact opposite of what she said when she was young, "Ci'an, don't jump if you are afraid. I will tell the elders that you have passed the exam." passed the test?"

"This fire is so big, and the building is so high, I'm afraid you will die if you jump down? You are the heir of Xuanmen, the hope of Xuanmen's future, how can you do such a dangerous thing?"

That persuasion perfectly matched the fear in her heart when she was young.

Gradually, Lu Ci'an felt something was wrong.

If she was back when she was a child, then why did she see another "Lu Ci'an"?
It's like a mirror refraction, the fear in my heart?
Even what was in her heart back then was re-spoken through other people's mouths.

Could it be?This is... the demon of fear?

She suddenly thought of the terrified expressions of those ghosts in the bus when the cycle accident came.

If the fear is not rooted out from the bottom of the heart, no matter how many times the same thing is repeated, it will still be scary.

So, she seemed to understand that for those ghosts trapped on the bus, it was never the bus that trapped them, but the fear in their hearts.

Just like the driver, he chose to accept his fate at the moment the oil tanker rushed over, because he had already fixed in his mind that this must happen and he was powerless to change it.

When a person chooses to surrender to fear, choose to accept fate, he can only be trapped in the inner demon, and he will never be able to get out!

The sudden enlightenment at this moment made Lu Ci'an decisively choose to jump into the flames.

Because in the memory of her previous life, she was in a coma for three days because of her fear of heights and the fear in her heart. It was only after many years that she realized that the fire was an illusion transformed by a Taoist spell, and it was not real fire at all.

But in the following years, she developed a demon who is afraid of heights and flames.

As a result, the vicious Xuanmen took advantage of her weaknesses and caused several accidents that nearly killed her.

Although she resolved everything after the incident, it was a narrow escape and it took a lot of effort.

She was thinking at the time, if she had overcome her inner demons and fears back then, wouldn't the things that happened later not happen?

Since this time, she had to relive the scene of the year again, then she decided to overcome her fear and inner demons.

As Lu Ci'an guessed, the scene in front of her was indeed a maze created by the fear in her heart.

The moment she jumped into the flames, she was back on the bus.

However, when she woke up, Xiao Naituan, Professor Nie and the others still closed their eyes tightly, as if they were in a nightmare, unable to wake up.

"Mommy, I'm good, don't lock me up, I'm afraid of the dark——"

Suddenly, she heard small sobs from the mouth of the little milk ball leaning on the chair.

Guessing that she must be covered by the fear of the past, Lu Ci'an hugged her in his arms distressedly.

"Be good, baby, Mommy won't lock you up again, and won't leave you alone in the dark, Mommy will always be by your side and give you a lot of love—"

Accompanied by Lu Ci'an's gentle comfort, Xiao Naituan's frowning brows gradually relaxed, and after a while, she opened her eyes, and threw herself into Lu Ci'an's arms with a "oooooo".

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

"Don't be afraid, it's all a dream, Mommy will protect you!"

The little milk ball twitched under Lu Ci'an's gentle comfort, and gradually calmed down.

The big round eyes looked at the people and ghosts in the silent carriage, full of doubts.

"Mommy, why are they all asleep?"

Lu Ci'an touched her head, "It's not that I fell asleep, but I was haunted by a nightmare."

So, she had to wake them up as soon as possible.

Therefore, Lu Ci'an handwritten a dream talisman for each of them based on their past experiences.

These spells will enter everyone's dreams and rewrite their nightmares.

Once the nightmare is changed, they will naturally wake up, but whether they can overcome their fear depends on their individual minds.

After drawing the last spell, Lu Ci'an was gradually exhausted.

"Mommy, are you okay?"

Little Naituan hurriedly staggered forward to support her.

Although his small body was struggling, he still clenched his teeth and did not let go of Lu Ci'an's arm.

"It's ok--"

Lu Ci'an waved her hand, just writing the spell, which consumed a lot of her energy.

The next step is to wait for them to wake up.

"Little Sunshine, Mommy sleeps for a while, and when everyone wakes up, will you call Mommy again?"

"Yeah, mommy, rest easy and sleep—"

Just like that, Lu Cian closed her eyes, and it took an unknown amount of time before she was woken up by the gentle shaking of the little milk ball.

The first thing Lu Ci'an did after opening his eyes was to see how he was waking up in the bus.

It was better than she expected, except for the driver, the other people and the ghosts basically woke up.

"I, what happened to me just now, I actually had a sweet dream? For the first time in three years, I actually had a sweet dream!"

"Me too. I dreamed that I didn't die. I saw my son. I grew up with him and sent him to study abroad. He became a world-renowned pianist!"

More and more ghosts began to talk about their dreams, but only Professor Nie, after quietly listening to the ghosts' conversation, looked at Lu Ci'an and said, "Girl, is this all due to you?"
