Start practicing from Mr. Fox

Chapter 42: Nightmare Tapir and Popularity

But it’s hard to check now.

Chen Ji was more curious about what had happened just now, so he looked at Yan Chixia and asked.

"Fellow Daoist, did you find anything unusual when you saw me in my dream?"

"No."

Yan Chixia shook his head.

"He just slept on the ground without moving at all, just like a normal sleeper. He only got up when the fox deciphered his dream spell."

“What a wonderful method!”

Chen Ji recounted his experience with emotion.

"That's pretty good. Being able to realize you're in a dream from the moonlight is already better than most people."

Lu Pan nodded.

"This little fox's dream-marrying technique is really good. If he practices diligently, he will definitely be good in the future."

"In the future, you should pay attention to the details in your dreams and practice more. If you're not good at first, you can use tapir blood to help you, and then you can get better at it later."

"I'll give you this bottle of dream tapir blood as a gift."

“This is so precious!”

Bai Shijiu hurriedly shook his head and didn't dare to agree.

Lu Pan shook his head.

"Take it. This thing is a treasure to you, but it's just a small thing to me. You happened to come here today, it's fate. If you can master the dream technique in the future, remember to give me a bottle of good wine."

"I remember it. I will keep Lu Pan's teachings in mind."

Bai Shijiu leaned down to the ground and expressed his gratitude sincerely.

Lu Pan nodded, and then talked about many things that should be paid attention to when practicing the Dream Marrying Method.

Bai Shijiu became more and more excited as he listened, and after Lu Pan finished speaking, he kowtowed repeatedly.

"Thank you so much for your guidance, Lu Pan. I will never forget it!"

"Don't forget Fellow Daoist Chen's contribution. If it weren't for him, you wouldn't be able to see us tonight."

"I know, I know. I'll go and do whatever you want, Master, when I wake up!"

Bai Shijiu said repeatedly.

Chen Ji understood Bai Shijiu's excitement.

Among the monsters he knew, she and Miss Bai were the only ones who practiced the art of marrying dreams.

But Miss Bai only returned to the mountain occasionally, and Bai Shijiu could not ask in time when he had any confusion about his practice. This time, meeting Lu Pan was a great opportunity.

By the way, check out the new content in the Strange Stories.

"Marrying Dream"

"Mr. Chen is keen on spiritual practice, but his experience is short and his powers are limited, making it difficult for him to perform advanced techniques. He only knows how to control fire and resolve disasters. One night, Lu Pan invited him to a banquet and he fell into a dream. Coincidentally, a fox came to him to learn and also fell into his dream. He then realized the profound power of dream magic and learned how to marry a dream."

"..."

Chen Ji was stunned.

This strange story is somewhat different from the previous ones.

He actually said directly that his magic power was too low.

I have only been practicing Taoism for a few days, and I don’t practice breathing techniques every day. It’s good enough that I can have some magical powers.

If one can enter the Tao quickly and has strong magical powers, then wouldn’t he be a true genius in cultivation?
However, I have indeed mastered the art of dreaming, and the knowledge exists in my brain.

Even the dream-entering technique that Lu Pan had just given him became much clearer, but it was not as smooth as controlling fire and riding the wind, and it seemed to always be lacking something.

"Could it be because it has never been successfully used?"

Chen Ji thought about the previous spells he had used. Except for the spell to dispel evil, he had successfully performed the other spells.

So he thought about the matter and looked at Lu Pan.

"Lu Pan, after following the fox into a dream, I seem to have some understanding of the dream-entering technique just now, and I also want to try it."

"Dream-entering technique?"

A look of astonishment flashed across Lu Pan's eyes, and after a few breaths he suddenly understood.

"So waking up from a dream can be considered waking up? That's quite interesting."

"Since it's such a coincidence, then you can try it. I will protect you."

Lu Pan squinted his eyes and looked at Chen Ji, nodding slightly.

Only then did Chen Ji think of what Lu Pan had said when he was teaching him the magic. He was teaching him the magic in a dream, and he would have to wait until he woke up to see it.

But I didn't expect that Chen Ji could have another dream within a dream and wake up in the dream.

It's really a coincidence.

But now it is important to cast spells and find someone to cooperate with me.

According to Bai Shijiu, although demons and ghosts can enter dreams, humans are the easiest.

So Chen Ji looked at Yan Chixia.

"Friend Yan, I might have to trouble you to fall asleep."

"That's fine. I just want to experience what it's like for ordinary people to enter a dream."

“Why do you feel this?”

Chen Ji was puzzled.

"Lu Pan invited me into my dream, and I was able to summon him in the dream. This is a dream-flowing technique that ordinary people cannot learn."

"But if you encounter an ordinary demon or ghost entering your dream, you should know whether it is a dream or not. If it is a dream, it is a good opportunity to see if the sword can cut through it."

Yan Chixia said loudly.

Chen Ji was speechless. Using the sword to break all laws, even trying to enter dreams, this was indeed the method a sword cultivator would think of.

I just don't know if this dream can be split by a sword.

Will it have any impact if it is split?

After all, Lu Pan was already able to transform reality and illusion in his dreams. If he really died in his dream, he might also lose his life in reality.

"That shouldn't happen."

Lu Pan shook his head.

"There is indeed a method to kill people in dreams, but it is not something that ordinary people can cultivate. It requires extremely high levels of cultivation, and the difference between the two people must be huge."

"If I were to attack an ordinary person, I might be able to do it, but if it were you, it might not work."

"What if I die in a dream?"

Yan Chixia asked.

"With your current level of cultivation, even if you really died in a dream, it would only be like a headache from not getting enough sleep. There's no need to worry too much."

"In that case, let's give it a try."

Chen Ji agreed.

Yan Chixia also lay down and began to fall asleep.

Bai Shijiu was also curious about the competition between Chen Ji and Yan Chixia, and he chirped and offered the leftover ingredients.

"Take it, sir. It's enough for me."

"Then I'll be polite for now. I'll return it to you when I get back."

Chen Ji took out the materials, recalled the process of Bai Shijiu's processing, and began to use the method of entering the dream.

Yan Chixia didn't know whether he was sleepy or because of the moon wine, but soon his breathing became long and he fell asleep.

But Chen Ji tried several times but still failed.

The soul-calling incense had been lit, the more effective moon wine had been used, and even the incantation required for the soul separation had been recited clearly, but it always failed at the last moment.

Every time, he would look at the hole formed in Yan Chixia’s dream but his soul could not get through.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, are you unable to leave your soul and enter dreams?"

Lu Pan was the judge of the underworld. After watching Chen Ji try several times, he discovered the key to the problem.

"Indeed."

Chen Ji said ashamedly.

"I didn't expect it to be so difficult to separate my soul. I tried several times but failed."

"It must be because of the soul of fellow Daoist."

Lu Pan said slowly.

"Your soul is denser and more powerful than ordinary souls, and it is more difficult to separate your soul..."

"But just now, Hu and Lu Pan seemed to be doing it very easily. Could it be that the difficulty level is different?"

"nature."

Lu Pan nodded.

"I'm a ghost, and it's a fox. We can both walk in yin and yang, so we're naturally closer."

"Your soul is dense and your aura is too strong, so it's not easy to separate your soul unless you use external help."

"Let me think about it..."

Lu Pan pondered for a few breaths and suddenly spoke.

"Yes, the skin of a nightmare tapir can conceal a person's aura... If you carry a piece of nightmare tapir skin with you, it will be much easier to leave your soul."

"The skin of the nightmare tapir is so powerful?"

"of course."

Lu Pan nodded.

"The tapir is an ancient mythical beast. It feeds on dreams by nature. It often wanders into the human world and devours all kinds of dreams. Therefore, it is extremely suitable for dream magic. Those who practice dream magic will have some."

Chen Ji bowed.

"Excuse me, Mr. Lu, where can I buy the skin of a nightmare tapir?"

"No need to buy it, I have one and I'll give it to you."

Lu Pan showed his giant hand again, took out a piece of black leather with white markings and handed it to Chen Ji. The fur was smoother than silk.

"This is the skin of a nightmare tapir. You can try it out."

Chen Ji took it and before he used it, he felt that the aura on his body had become much lighter, and even his soul became more active. He could even see the dream emerging from Yan Chixia without chanting any spells.

"In that case, fellow Daoist, try again."

Lu Pan asked Chen Ji to try again.

So Chen Ji started chanting the spell and performing the movements according to the Dream Marrying Method again.

This time there was no hindrance.

A transparent figure jumped out from Chen Ji.

"It's done!"

Chen Ji's eyes moved, staring at the hole in Yan Chixia's dream.

Just now I just took a quick glance and couldn't see the scenery in my dream clearly, but now I can see the scene in Yan Chixia's dream clearly.

Just in time to find out!
As his mind moved, he discovered that there was another addition to the record of strange stories.

"However, Chen tried many times but failed. He asked the fox and Lu Pan, who said that the human aura was too strong and difficult to enter the dream. Lu Pan gave her a tapir skin to block the human aura, and only then could she marry the dream."

　Some things happened today, so I am a little short of the number of words. I won’t go out tomorrow, so I will write more to make up for it. Finally, I would like to ask everyone to support me by recommending monthly tickets to read. It is really important, orz thank you very much!
