Under the gentle breeze and rising sun, among the young leaves of the new forest, two figures disappeared one after another.

As an old student of Yuanzheng, Chen Mu knew Baoyan Road far better than Li Luo. But except for the class group activities in his freshman year, he had never been involved in it again.

With a seemingly ordinary step, the scene in front of the two of them has changed drastically. The deep forest road disappeared and was replaced by nine paths of different light and dark under their feet. The entrance to each path was written with special road signs, such as courage, perseverance, determination, and knowledge.

Reserve, diligence can make up for failure, etc.

At a glance, you can still see the appearance of the examination venue at the end of the path, including mountains, forests, deserts, oceans, isolated islands, etc.

The two of them were very moved. These were the hard work of Yuanzheng's first principal, and they were also the testimony of a great mother. She sacrificed herself to achieve the achievements of countless successors. It can be seen that she was not only trying to make up for the debt in her heart to her daughter, but also giving everything to her.

Students regard them as their own children and try every means to help and protect them.

"Go to the stress field."

Li Luo reminded him softly, and Chen Mu readily agreed that anti-stress training was just right for him now.

Walking into the anti-stress path, the scene in front of him changed again, and nine paths appeared exactly the same. This time, without Li Luo's guidance, Chen Mu made his own choice: terror and resistance, a path leading to the gloomy.

"I'm afraid the situation inside will make you feel uncomfortable. How about you stay outside?"

Li Luozheng had this intention. What she planned was to stand outside and guide with her voice. Moreover, entering with two people would make the trial twice as difficult. But after listening to Chen Mu's words, she knew she needed to prove it.

"I am a dream interpreter and can stay awake in any dream world. What you should consider is your own endurance. Doubling the difficulty may be very scary."

"It doesn't matter, I'm worried that the scene is too simple and won't make me feel."

"Are you sure? Although the rules of this dream world are incomplete, you are entering it physically now. If you suffer trauma, you will still feel pain when you return to reality. If you accidentally have an accident, you may still be in a coma for a few days."

Chen Mu didn't answer. Of course he knew all this. He walked into the darkness without looking back to express his decision. Li Luo hesitated a little, but after thinking about it, he followed.

————

Boom——

A heavy downpour fell from the dark night sky, and a thunderous thunder exploded in the deep sky.

In the dilapidated thatched house, Chen Mu woke up from the cold and wet bed.

He looked around, seeing thick, dark, intermittent drops of water dripping from the roof, soaking less than half of the thin, cold quilt.

Suddenly he felt someone beside him. He stretched out his hand and touched it. He was startled by the soft and warm feeling: it was a child's little foot.

"It's me, Li Luo, do you remember?"

"I know."

In the darkness, Li Luo, who looked like a girl at this time, had a surprised expression on his little face, and soon he was relieved: it seemed that the other party's dream interpretation talent had not completely disappeared, and he could stay awake temporarily.

"If I guess correctly, this should be the home of the first principal when she was a child. We also have her identity as a child."

Chen Mu nodded and had some memories in his mind: It was embarrassing that the whole class came out of the river together. It was nothing. After all, everyone's memories at that time were brothers and sisters with the same father and mother. But he was awake the whole time, and other people were not

It was only later that I realized that everyone was embarrassed to invite him to follow the path of Baoyan again.

Without the companionship and motivation to take the postgraduate entrance examination, Chen Mu never took the postgraduate entrance examination again.

"Muzi, Luoluo, get up quickly, you're going to be late!"

As soon as Li Luo finished speaking, the rotten wooden door was opened, and a young woman brought a kerosene lamp.

"I'm almost late for work. The food is on the table. Remember to eat before leaving. Luoluo, help me buy a pack of salt. I'll give you an extra copper today. Keep it safe and supervise your brother not to buy anything else unrelated. At noon

One bun per person.”

The woman put the money in an embroidered linen satchel, left the kerosene lamp on the bedside table, and went to work in a hurry.

The two of them dressed and got up in embarrassment. There were many small puddles on the dirt floor under their feet. When they walked out of the room, they found that the thatched house was not small. There were five or six halls in total. In addition to the ancestral hall, there were three rooms for people and one for animals.

There is also a room for miscellaneous items.

There are two small bowls of hot oil-fried rice on the table in the living room, and a plate of black leftovers next to them. In this era, this is no longer simple.

"You can pass this level as long as you arrive at school before eight o'clock. It hasn't stopped raining outside yet, so why don't you wait any longer."

Li Luo seemed to be very curious about the layout of this thatched cottage, looking at it from front to back and left and right. Ordinarily, a dream world with incomplete rules should not be so real, but she couldn't find any flaws.

The house was too dilapidated, and there was nothing worth paying attention to. Chen Mu felt that the only thing he could see was the person in front of him. The teenage Luoluo was very pleasing to the eye, and fully demonstrated what it means to be a beautiful woman. The coarse patches on her body did not affect her appearance at all.

cute.

"We don't have extra time. We have a five-kilometer mountain road to walk, and it's raining. I don't know what other hurdles the principal has set. The earlier we start, the more safe we ​​will be."

"Huh? Do you know the way to school?"

Li Luo was a little surprised. Dream interpreters usually give predetermined settings to the characters in their dream world, but those who enter must exchange their real memories. Among them, dream interpreters are special because they have the gift of lucidity and cannot be exchanged.

, but obtains memory by analyzing the character's dream power, as long as the dream character's dream power does not exceed his mental power.

However, Chen Mu obviously still has real-life memories, so how could he remember his route to school? Could it be that his dream was a lie?

"I also find it strange. Let's not talk nonsense. Let's prepare the torch first. There is no flashlight at this time, so we can only light the torch."

Chen Mu casually changed the topic, found a small iron can in the corner, spread a layer of hay on the bottom, put the remaining charcoal from the woman's fried rice into it, and then stuffed the hay again.

"What are you doing?"

"Just in case, if the torch goes out halfway, we don't have a lighter."

Li Luo didn't seem to understand, but felt that this person could pass the level without his own guidance.

Following Chen Mu's example, Li Luo found a few corn stalks, crushed them, and tied them tightly with straw. After lighting them, the two of them carried their heavy schoolbags and entered the darkness.

It was already the beginning of winter, and bursts of thunder made the world look weird. The rugged mountain roads became even more difficult to walk after the rain. From time to time, mud from the mountains washed away by running water could be seen blocking the road.

Chen Mu walked in front, carrying a small cupping pot in the style of a schoolboy in a mountainous area, imagining that he was the messenger of light in this world.

This wild and dead darkness is so gloomy that it makes people panic. Anyone who enters it will feel a sense of loneliness and helplessness: he is the only living person in the entire dark world. It is unimaginable that a ten-year-old man back then

How did this little girl persevere for so many years?

Li Luo was left far behind. She underestimated the dream world that a sixth-level dream master had worked hard to create. Even if it was incomplete, it was not something she could easily decipher now.

The darkness and silence around her were as solid as a solid body. She always felt that there were countless beasts dormant around her, ready to move. Even though she was conscious, she gradually became a little panicked. She lowered her head and stared at the bumpy path without daring to look around. She staggered and quickened her pace in an attempt to catch up.

"oops!"

Finally, Li Luo, who was going to school for the first time in her life, slipped. Fortunately, she did not fall: someone helped her in time.

"Thanks"

"It's only me who thanks you for being so kind as to accompany me to a place like this to suffer. Give me your schoolbag and you go ahead."

Li Luo didn't refuse. She really felt it was very difficult. Chen Mu's calm and calm look made her feel a little unhappy: Is this here to sober up? It's obviously a vacation!

"That person just called you Muzi?"

Li Luo took the initiative to stir up the topic, hoping to distract himself from his fear of the darkness by chatting.

"I'm so confused that I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Chen Mu, from Zhengjing, and a senior student from Yuanzheng."

"Are you from Zhengjing too?"

"Huh? Listening to this tone, you are old..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Mu stopped abruptly and made a silent gesture with a serious look on his face.

"Don't make any noise and leave quickly!"

"What's wrong?"

Li Luo was puzzled, and subconsciously followed the other person's gaze, and immediately regretted it: under the slope not far ahead, a group of white firelight illuminated the scene near it, but still only the outline of a new tomb could be seen. The new tomb was built

In a small irregular terraced field, at this moment, a woman wearing sackcloth and mourning was kneeling in front of a grave and burning paper.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

To Chen Mu's surprise, after his reminder, Li Luo actually left the main road and walked straight to the new tomb.

"As expected of a completely sober person, he is so courageous."

Chen Mu secretly admired him. The mysterious bride visiting the grave in this dark and cold night made him feel creepy unconsciously. He didn't expect that a weak woman was not afraid at all.

In order to reduce his fear, Chen Mu planned to cheat. He closed his eyes and released his mental power - everything in the dream world is woven by dream power, and only the dream interpreter's mental power can decompose it. Use mental power as vision

, you will be able to see through all the illusions in front of you.

Unfortunately, he was disappointed!

He released all the tens of billions of spiritual power in disbelief, but not a single bit of dream power could penetrate into the gap, and what he saw was still a gloomy and dark scene.

"I forgot that this is a level six dream world."

Chen Mu shook his head and smiled bitterly. With the ability of the sixth-level dream interpreter and the selfless mind of the first-time principal, there are at least hundreds of billions of dream powers here, and the complexity is even more outrageous. He is not just a second-level dream interpreter.

It can be broken.

Suddenly, he thought of a question. Since the second-level dream interpreters were powerless, what about Li Luo? Could it be that she had the ability to crack it?

Thinking of this, Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat and had a bad premonition. When he looked again, he saw that Li Luo was already approaching the woman.

"etc!"

Chen Mu was impatient, so he dropped his schoolbag and ran quickly, taking three steps at a time and two steps at a time, almost falling down several times on the wet and slippery grass.

Just as Li Luo put his little hand on the woman's shoulder, Chen Mu arrived in time and hugged her.

Unfortunately, under the inertia, the two of them hit the tombstone without losing speed.

The brazier was kicked into the air by Chen Mu, and burning paper money fell all over the sky. In the swirling firelight, Chen Mu saw the woman's raised face: pale and colorless, with seven holes of blood, and she gave him a scary smile.

The imagined impact did not happen, it was just a trance, and Chen Mu found himself falling into the ground: that tombstone was clearly an illusory stone gate.

"You can get up!"

Chen Mu jumped up when he heard the sound: No wonder he didn't feel any pain, it turned out to be someone underneath him.

Li Luo didn't blame him. He knew that Chen Mu had good intentions, so he was a little scared and said: "The dream power of the first principal is too high. I tried to break it down with hundreds of billions of spiritual power, but I got involved instead."

Chen Mu's eyes twitched: One hundred billion spiritual powers? At least ten levels higher than him, a big level!

"It seems that we have to change our thinking to deal with it. According to our mental level, it is impossible to break through the level. Instead, we may sink deeper and deeper. The principal's setting is originally for ordinary people, why don't we look at it from an ordinary person's perspective?"
