The Spirit World

Chapter 87 Name
On the pile of herbs, Chang Yufeng still hadn't woken up. The chief steward had left, and the old doctor went to get medicine for Lin'er, leaving only three young people in the secret room.

"Wait...what did you say?" Lin'er looked at He Chao, a little bit unbelievable. He Chao's words were beyond her imagination.

"Didn't you talk about the woodcutter? Why do you say you rescued him now?" Erica couldn't utter the word that symbolized eternal departure. She looked at her brother who was still lying on the pile of herbs, feeling a little worried.

"I don't know why the young master hasn't woken up... If he wasn't trapped in a dream, there's nothing I can do. Besides, even grandma can't tell, so it's really hard for me to know why he didn't wake up." He Chao looked embarrassed. They sat around a special table in the secret room. It was a square table, elegant and simple, like an antique.

He Chao continued to answer: "The woodcutter did die in the dream, and was indeed rescued. However, this is an extremely complicated matter. I only know some reasons from my father. The woodcutter, because he was infected by the devil's energy, showed very strange symptoms. Compared with [dream reversal], it is better to say that he was trapped in the dream by the devil. The devil who can control dreams is the legendary [Blood Prison Demon King]. This strange disease has only recently seen the light of day, and it has only appeared in ancient books before. It is true that the young master looks a bit like the woodcutter now. My father defeated the woodcutter who was about to become a devil in his dream, so it was equivalent to saving him. And his physical body had already died. I heard from my father that the soul had a very in-depth investigation before tearing off the devil's disguise."

"If that's the case, how can Chang Yufeng wake up? Did he also experience a [dream reversal] like me?" Maybe it was the first time that Chang Yufeng's name was called, to be honest, it was a little uncomfortable and awkward. This made Erica a little confused when she heard this name from Lin'er for the first time.

"Emm...I don't know..." He Chao looked at Lin'er helplessly.

"..."

"Then, what should we do to make brother wake up?" Erica looked at He Chao, her eyes never leaving the little Meng An Tapir.

"I still have to rely on my grandmother's judgment... After all, I'm just an unknown [Dream Interpreter], not a real doctor. Junior sisters think too highly of me." He Chao was still humble in front of his junior sisters. He placed the small porcelain Meng'an tapir in front of Erica and said: "It's almost impossible for junior sister to want a Meng'an tapir, but this one is also very cute! I'll give it to you!"

"Really?" Erica picked up the porcelain Meng'an tapir and stared at its green eyes happily.

"The Dream-An Tapir is a spiritual medium passed down from my ancestors. It is passed down to males but not females... But this little thing can follow you. You only need a little bit of dream power to make it move. Generally speaking, it can help you distinguish between dreams and reality. I will tell you the specific method later."

The topic of how Chang Yufeng woke up came to an end. In fact, it might be more reliable to leave this super professional matter to an old doctor. There was no point in getting anxious. Besides, Chang Yufeng was obviously sleeping peacefully, so there was nothing to worry about.

"Thank you, senior brother!" Erica held the small porcelain in both hands and touched its head happily.

"By the way, the half-demon boy from your Tianbu seems to have gone down the mountain... I don't know if he will come back... He worked so hard to pass the training in the Qilin Jar, but he left Bailing Mountain. I can't understand it." He Chao said as he took out the jade pendant from his sleeve.

"This is your Tianbu jade pendant. You have been in the secret room these days, so you probably don't know what happened outside... Bailing Mountain was attacked by people infected by evil spirits, and the number of them was very large. [Wutong Division] urgently distributed jade pendants that can distinguish identities to prevent people infected by evil spirits from sneaking into Bailing Mountain."

"Has that half-demon boy left?" Lin'er looked at the jade pendant with some doubt. There was indeed a very small word "Tian" on it, and there was also a paulownia tree crown engraved with many strange words on it.

"Yes," He Chao answered confidently: "He left before you came back, about three days ago, and he hasn't come back yet. Do you know why?"

"Maybe... it's because our relationship with him is very bad... we haven't said a few words to him in total. His words make me feel uncomfortable, so I don't want to talk to him..."

"Are you sensitive? It's unlikely that you will graduate if you enter the Heavenly Department like this..."

Erica poured tea and placed it in front of the two of them.

"He's not that sensitive. He has tried to change... but maybe he just didn't find the right time. I don't really understand. Anyway, he is a bad guy and very weird." Erica answered. To be honest, her indifference towards that man was completely understandable and she didn't need to take it too seriously.

"That's it..."

"Why can't I graduate?" Lin'er asked after finishing her tea and straightening the quilt: "What does this have to do with graduation?"

"Because the training in the Tianbu is very special. Doesn't it take three years to complete the training? Every year, you need to go through various assessments. If you have problems with your conduct, or have any conflicts or bad deeds with your fellow apprentices, you will not be able to obtain the qualification to continue your training. In addition, the training methods taught by the Tianbu are very demanding of comprehension. They are very hardcore. There is no such thing as something that you can learn at a glance. Therefore, further training is very important."

"I've heard of this..."

"The road to heaven is difficult, isn't it? Although the immortal stone won't lie, you still have to walk the road yourself." He Chao stood up and wanted to leave. "Well, thank you for your teachings, senior brother!"

"No... Today I can only do my best as a dream interpreter. How dare I teach you anything? I am just expressing my feelings as a person who has experienced it."

"Thank you very much." Lin'er nodded in thanks.

"Okay, I'm leaving now. Remember to come and play with me at the Spiritual Path..."

"Brother, take care..."

After He Chao left, only Wen Tijun and the other two were left in the secret room.

Lin'er and Erica looked at each other, Lin'er smiled, and Erica smiled back. Sister Lin'er now gave Erica a very strange feeling. Although Sister Lin'er usually gave people a very mature feeling, but now Sister Lin'er looked at her like an elder looking at a junior, very kind and amiable.

In the past, the innocence in Sister Lin'er's eyes seemed to have disappeared all of a sudden. For Erica, these three days were really exhausting because of the fire whose cause was still unknown. Such an incident was really sudden. Although those ambushing black-robed men had been killed, their appearance was still very puzzling.

"Let's wait for Chang Yufeng to wake up. The doctor should know what to do." Lin'er looked at Chang Yufeng on the pile of herbs and said to Erica with a smile.

"Sister Lin'er..."

Sister Lin'er said her brother's full name again, and that strange feeling made Erica feel a little uncomfortable.

The first time I saw Sister Lin'er in Wenti County calling me brother, she used that rather intimate term, and I thought that my brother had finally come to his senses.

just now……

Maybe this is the norm?

"Well, let's wait for the doctor grandma to come back. Brother should be fine." As she said this, she saw the plum blossom on Lin'er's right forehead covered by her bangs, which seemed to be blooming on her head, pure white and flawless.

"Who is talking about the doctor grandma?" The old doctor came in from the secret room corridor, carrying a basket of herbs and placed them on the table.

"Doctor grandma, you're finally here!" Erica gave up her seat in surprise.

"Why? I've only been gone for a short time, and you miss me so much?" The old doctor used his spiritual power to condense the juice of the herbs and guided it into the incense burner. He said lovingly: "I see, you are not thinking about me, but your own brother!"

"Of course I miss my doctor grandma! It would be better for you to sleep a little longer, so that you don't have to think about where to go again."

"You! Little clever boy! Don't worry about your brother, he should wake up soon!"

"Hey hey... um um"

Lin'er looked at Erica, then at Chang Yufeng who was lying quietly, and for a moment she was speechless.
