Chapter 28 They've sold me out already?
"Entering a dream"?
The couple and Zhang Qian were all taken aback. What did this mean?
"Yes, I also entered your lover's dream to slay the evil spirit!"
"How can you enter someone else's dream?"
Zhang Qian asked curiously.
"If that evil spirit can do it, then I certainly have the ability to do it too!"
Is it dangerous?
Seeing Zhang Qian's concerned expression, Chen Cheng shook his head: "It's not dangerous. What danger is there in entering a dream?"
"Then I'll go with you!"
"no"!
Chen Cheng decisively rejected Zhang Qian.
"Why not? Since it's not dangerous, I'm going in to help you!"
"Sigh, it's not that it's not dangerous, but it is still somewhat dangerous. If the evil spirit in the dream is too powerful and my primordial spirit is harmed by it, then I will become a vegetable in reality!"
This was the truth, and it was also meant to scare Zhang Qian into backing down.
"Then I'd rather be with you. Two people are better than one of you!"
Chen Cheng was surprised by Zhang Qian's persistence and couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
"Master Chen, isn't this too risky? What if something happens? Wouldn't it be our fault that harms you?"
"As a member of the Taoist sect, slaying demons and eliminating evil is for the sake of upholding the righteousness of Heaven, just like the Buddhist saying, 'If I don't go to hell, who will?'"
"master,,"
"Alright, I'm going to try it tonight no matter what. Brother Cheng, help your wife back to her room to rest first, then come over and I'll tell you a few things in private."
After Chen Cheng finished speaking, he stood up and went to the balcony. Cheng Ming was about to help Mu Lili when Zhang Qian stood up and said, "Brother Cheng, you go ahead, I'll help my sister-in-law inside."
"Thank you for your help."
Zhang Qian smiled slightly and helped the weak and listless Mu Lili up as they slowly walked towards the bedroom.
He went to the balcony, and Chen Cheng whispered in his ear, "Take out some of the sulfur you bought this afternoon, dissolve it in water, and give it to me first. I'll put a talisman in it, and then have your sister-in-law wash it with the sulfur water..."
Cheng Ming nodded repeatedly and quickly turned to get to work.
After taking Mu Lili back to her bedroom, Zhang Qian quickly walked to the balcony, looked at Chen Cheng who was smoking, and said, "Brother Cheng, I want to be with you."
"Little sister Sisi, no, it's too dangerous. If there's even the slightest mishap, she won't be able to get out of the dream. And if she loses her body, her soul will turn her into a vegetable, and she won't be able to wake up no matter how much you call her."
Zhang Qian gritted her teeth, raised her head and looked at him: "I'm not afraid. If we really can't get out, I'll stay with you in the dream forever!"
Chen Cheng was taken aback. Seeing that she didn't seem to be joking, could it be that this girl had really fallen for him? No way, he was born with a tough fate, a jinx, and his parents had both died because of him. He had never thought about dating or getting married. At most, he would just talk big and have fun with his words.
"Sissi, you may not know me yet. I am cursed by the Lone Star. People who stay with me for a long time will die because of me. Therefore, the people I know will only be ordinary friends, and I will not have in-depth communication with them."
This stunned Zhang Qian. She couldn't tell if Chen Cheng was telling the truth or not, because his expression was too serious. She had heard of the cursed lone star, but she never believed in fate. It was only after seeing Chen Cheng's methods that she couldn't help but change her worldview.
"I don't care, I'm going to be with you tonight, even if it means dying or never getting out of here again, I'm going to be with you!"
Zhang Qian bit her lower lip, thought for a moment, and then spoke. Then, for some reason, tears welled up in her eyes.
"Hey, why are you crying?"
Chen Cheng was startled by her words, but at the same time felt a little touched. He quickly went to the living room, took out a few tissues, and handed them to her.
"Brother Cheng, can I go with you?"
Zhang Qian took the tissue but didn't wipe her face. She looked at him pitifully and said...
"Sigh, what are you trying to achieve?"
"Is it okay?"
Looking at her delicate face streaked with tears, Chen Cheng could only say, "Fine, fine, I give up!" At the same time, he silently thought to himself that if things went wrong, he would do everything he could to protect her and get her out of the dream!
Seeing that Chen Cheng had agreed, Zhang Qian stopped crying and smiled. Just as she mustered up her courage to throw herself into his arms, Cheng Ming walked over unceremoniously with a bowl of water.
"Ms. Zhang, what's wrong?"
"She's afraid I'm in danger, she's worried about me!"
Chen Cheng replied with a grin.
"Pah, you're so vain."
After saying that, she felt embarrassed and quickly walked back to the living room to sit down.
"Master Chen, if you can help us, I will sell everything I own to repay your great kindness!"
"Brother Cheng, you're too kind. We should give according to our means. If we have more, we should give less; if we don't, we should give less. This is all out of respect for our Taoist patriarch!"
After Chen Cheng finished speaking with a grin, he reached into his cloth bag and pulled out a talisman. He put it into the sulfur water that Chen Cheng was holding and chanted a spell. With a "whoosh," the talisman and the water in the small bowl spontaneously combusted without any wind. Cheng Ming was startled, but he did not feel any burning sensation.
After the talisman burned out, Chen Cheng instructed him to scoop out the large amount of ash and give the rest to Mu Lili in the bedroom.
After doing all this, Cheng Ming took Chen Cheng and Zhang Qian out for dinner, and also packed some food for his wife. By the time they got back, it was already eight o'clock.
Chen Cheng didn't sit idle. He needed to make some arrangements first. Tonight, he and Zhang Qian were going to have their souls leave their bodies. If they encountered some ignorant ghosts trying to possess them, things would get really bad. He pasted exorcism talismans and calming talismans on all the doors and windows, and also added a golden shield Tai Chi seal to Mu Lili's bedroom. Of course, Zhang Qian and Chen Cheng, who didn't have the ability to see ghosts, couldn't see the flash of golden light.
Then, he pricked Mu Lili's finger and squeezed out a few drops of blood into a clean small bowl. He then pricked his own and Zhang Qian's fingers and squeezed out a few drops of blood as well. Although Zhang Qian was afraid of the pain, she still gritted her teeth and persevered.
Chen Cheng took out a red thread, a peach wood sword, a demon-revealing mirror, several talismans, and a small bag of sulfur powder that Cheng Ming had left over from his bag. He first dipped the red thread in the blood of the group, and then made a bloodstain on the peach wood sword, the demon-revealing mirror, the talismans, and the sulfur bag.
He then took out a small bell and a piece of paper with a phone number written on it and handed it to Cheng Ming: "Brother Cheng, this is the Soul-Guiding Bell. Shake it for one minute every two hours. If all goes well, we will return to our bodies according to the sound of the Soul-Guiding Bell. If we haven't woken up by tomorrow morning, it means we won't wake up in the future. Just call him and ask him to pick us up and take us home!"
Cheng Ming solemnly accepted the bell and the piece of paper: "Master Chen, I..."
Seeing Cheng Ming's reddened eyes, Chen Cheng waved his hand and said, "You don't need to worry. Evil will not prevail over good. I was just saying what if!"
Then he turned to Zhang Qian and said, "Qianqian, it's not too late for you to regret it now!"
Zhang Qian didn't say anything, but boldly hugged him and lightly kissed him on the cheek, saying, "Never regret it!"
This made Chen Cheng blush deeply, his mind completely blank and confused.
"I've already marked you. With Brother Cheng as my witness, from now on, you're mine in life and in death!"
Cheng Ming was also moved by this girl who dared to love and hate: "I am your witness, from now on Master Chen is yours!"
Holy crap, she just sold me to her like that?
Chen Cheng wanted to cry but had no tears, but there were more important things to do at the moment, so he would talk about it later!
Chen Cheng tied the blood-stained red rope to Mu Lili, Zhang Qian, and his own middle finger, and tied the other end to a blood-stained magic artifact. Then the three of them lay quietly on the bed, waiting to fall asleep and enter a dream. Zhang Qian, who was next to him, also held his hand tightly.
