I am an immortal in heaven and earth

Chapter 34 Nightmare Maze
After Hu Jinhua left Yin Gu's place, she went to find a second home.

This time he was a miraculous man who lived in Zhaojiagou. In his early years, he went to the mountains to collect herbs and broke his leg. His family went to look for him and rescued him, but he gradually became a waste. He was afraid that his family would abandon him, so he began to pretend to be a ghost. He was known as " "Zhao Shenbiao".

Every time Zhao Shendi performs this method, he is like an epileptic, twitching all over, rolling his eyes, and foaming at the white foam. He holds a bamboo plaque with rice beans on it, and takes pictures there, and finally looks at the distribution of rice beans in the southeast, northwest, and northwest. , just chatting with the visitor, talking vaguely about good or bad luck, and talking about taboos.

Hu Jinhua's arrival at Zhao Shendi's house was smoother than going to Yin Gu's house. There were no gods in his house, only posts that read "no taboos" and "no monsters."

Hu Jinhua observed carefully for a while, and finally chose to fall asleep directly.

Zhao Shen's epileptic dream was gloomy and desperate. When Hu Jinhua's mind body entered it, he could only see the dark sky covered by dark clouds, the demonized mountain forest, the eerie and weird bird calls, and the howling of wolves in the distance.

The dark mountain road was covered with fog, and there were many gloomy shadows around it. There was no way forward, no way back, and there were many malicious intentions surrounding it.

When Hu Jinhua entered this dream, she also felt a little tricky. Because this Zhao Shendi actually raised the "Nightmare Realm".

The Dharma Realm is constructed by the thoughts of all sentient beings and has incredible power, and the dreams of all living beings are also part of the Dharma Realm.

If you have the same dream for a long time and keep repeating it and deepening it, it will make people unable to distinguish the reality of the dream, and you will become confused and crazy.

It is what later generations call "mental illness".

Including schizophrenia, delusional thinking that one is the reincarnation of a god and descending to earth to experience calamity, or seeing countless monsters around and wanting to harm oneself, and some seeing things upside down...

This kind of disease is called "epilepsy", also called "ghost syndrome", and it is a serious illness like the "soul-leaving syndrome" that Xu Jia had before.

That is, there is a problem with the "soul".

Zhao Shendian is now trapped in a mountain full of fog, panicking and unable to get out.

The nightmare was like a spider web, and he was like a flying insect trapped in the spider web. He struggled hard but couldn't get out.

His epilepsy is not just pretending to be a ghost as outsiders say, he is really epileptic.

He is trapped in his past obsessions, obsessions turn into nightmares, nightmares turn into nightmares, and nightmares weave a maze.

Inside the nightmare maze is the horrific scene that I encountered on the mountain.

As long as you close your eyes, it's a nightmare.

Twenty years ago, because his mother was seriously ill, he went to the mountain to collect medicine out of filial piety.

However, I encountered Jingmei Tiaoxi. Before dusk, I was going down the mountain, but I couldn't find the way down. I went around and around in the same place.

Waiting for the night to darken, Zhao Shendian was chased by an unknown beast or monster. He panicked and ran around in the mountains without seeing his feet clearly. He fell down a steep slope and broke his leg. He lay on the ground in despair. Land, waiting for death.

But maybe the spirit got tired of playing and didn't kill him, so he started to save himself. He waited until dawn and the villagers who dared to go up the mountain to look for traces of him until morning. Saved him.

Although Zhao Shendi was lame in one leg, he did not suffer from epilepsy in his early years. I only have nightmares once in a while.

When he gets older and no one wants to marry him, he becomes a famous bachelor and receives strange looks and ridicule from those around him. This reminds him of the time when he was teased by monsters on the mountain, and what is the difference between being teased by these people now? the difference?
The association gradually deepened, and he often had nightmares. He recalled that it was this accident that ruined his life... So in the daytime, he recalled the good times in the past more and more, but the more he recalled the past, the more separated he became from reality.

Repeated enough times, the suggestion is formed, and the nightmare is born, tormenting this miserable, poor man.

It makes him often unable to distinguish between dreams and reality, and he is in a state of madness.

But just like this madness, he really opened his "yin and yang eyes" and could see things that others couldn't. Then he gradually became famous.

In this village, if a child is in trouble, he will be worshiped as his godfather, hoping that his godfather will help him avoid disasters.

He is a general existence of "village guardian".

Hu Jin's flower mind entered Zhao Shendian's dream, and he broke into a nightmare maze.

I saw that the malice, fear, confusion and other negative emotions in this fog began to materialize one after another.

Malice turned into a pack of wild dogs and chased Hu Jinhua, looking vicious.

Fear forced Hu Jinhua to feel weak. At some point, she turned into an ordinary furry fox and was hunted by a pack of wolves.

Confusion turns into a road full of thorns and countless forked choices. It seems that every forked road is a wrong choice. It can be said that there are wild dogs behind and hungry wolves in front.

These are the deep memories of Hu Jinhua before she became a spirit, the demonic obstacles deep in her heart, and the "dog calamity" of the Fox clan. Although Hu Jinhua was frightened, she somehow remembered Xu Jia's appearance, so she stopped being frightened and turned around instead.

"I am following the orders of Master Xu, the Dharma Master, and I am as urgent as the law orders!"

Suddenly, Youshan Ramang was summoned from outside the dreamland to the dreamland by Hu Jinhua, and appeared beside him as if he had a team of bodyguards.

In the dream, each of the mountain tourists had deformations, distortions, heights, body structures, but their faces were green faces with fangs, red-haired horns, wearing vine armor, holding machetes, and a ferocious, wanton, lawless and rampant spirit. It gave Hu Jinhua a great sense of security.

Then the fear subsided, and Hu Jinhua's size became huge, as if she had entered Niu Congcong's dream before. She was about 3 feet tall and had golden hair between her eyebrows.

The next moment, the rampant soldiers started fighting with the wild dogs transformed from nightmare fear.

The nightmare here constitutes a maze of mountains and forests. These rampant soldiers are "traveling to the mountains" and therefore belong to the "home battle".

Zhu Yang tore these confusions apart like a canvas and swallowed them into his stomach. The wild dogs were chopped in half by the machete and turned into nothing with a whimper.

After dealing with the wild dogs, Hu Jinhua's natural hero holds a machete to cut through the thorns in the road ahead and break through the obstacles.

It's just that this maze is very difficult. Just after cutting off thorns along the way, there is a cliff in front of you. If you take another step forward, you will fall to your death and enter the second dream space.

If you want to give up, tigers, leopards, jackals, and all kinds of evil monsters will appear behind you, trying to take advantage of your fear to kill and gnaw you.

This was all the result of Zhao Shendi's fear and hysteria.

Of course, there are also some ghosts and spirits from the real outside world who are trapped in his nightmare. They bully and intimidate Zhao Shendian's soul trapped in the dream, extracting energy and using it for practice.

Waiting for Hu Jinhua to be carried over the cliff by Wang Jiang, he found Zhao Shendian's soul somewhere at the bottom of the cliff.

He looked like he had broken his leg and was lying on the ground in despair.

Hu Jinhua looked distressed and felt sympathy and intolerance, so she walked forward and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here to rescue you."

When Zhao Shendi saw such a big fox, something changed on his face: "Are you a mountain god?"

"I am the Fox Fairy! I am here today to help you get rid of your nightmares!"

But I saw that Hu Jinhua's tail swept away, and in the dream he had the power to sweep away a large area of ​​haze, but in fact it was all swallowed up by Youshan Ramang.

But this is only part of the effect. What really drives away the gloom is the hope ignited in Zhao Shendi's soul.

For so many years, he has longed for someone to help him, or if someone had helped him when he was chased by those things, maybe the ending would have been different.

For a moment the skylight shines.

Outside the dream, Hu Jinhua's ruthless soldiers had already captured many ghosts and spirits that were causing trouble in the nightmare maze, and tied them into ropes with black energy.

They had previously entangled children in the village, causing them to be frightened, have a high fever, and cry incessantly.

So the parents sent the child to Zhao Shen to worship his adoptive father to ward off the disaster. The spirit that was pestering the child saw that there was a nightmare fantasy in Zhao Shen's body, which was an independent "Dharma Realm Cave", so he stopped entangled and moved to Zhao Shen. Epilepsy is in the body.

This is Zhao Shendi's greatest ability, using himself as a container to imprison Jingmei.

But these are not very powerful charms, rampant soldiers are enough to deal with them.

Zhao Shendi woke up at this time, with tears streaming down his face. He regained his consciousness and got a glimmer of redemption in his dream. But when he returned to reality, he was so miserable and cold. How could he be willing to return to reality?

However, the next moment I heard a voice: "Zhao Shendian, do you still remember me?"

Zhao Shendi was disabled, but he struggled to turn over and saw a fox sitting in front of him. It was exactly the same as the fox fairy in the dream just now. His hope was rekindled again: "Disciple pays homage to the fox fairy!"

"Because you have been trapped in obsessional nightmares for many years, the Immortal sent me to save you." Hu Jinhua paused and said, "Are you willing to be my disciple?"

Zhao Shendian was now grateful to Hu Jinhua. He was afraid of sinking into the nightmare of the past and did not want to live in the chaos of reality, so he quickly agreed: "Disciple is willing!"

"Good! You just need to write the name of the Fox Fairy Hu Jinhua on a piece of red paper, and offer a stick of incense every day. The Immortal Family will bless you, grant you many blessings, and even cure your leg disease and help you win over. Your marriage will make your life more prosperous."

Zhao Shendi stood up and knelt on the ground. Just as he was about to raise his head, Hu Jinhua disappeared.
