Chapter 72: The Lost Butterfly Shadow and the Fall of the Jade Talisman

"Connection established successfully. You can try to weave dreams or enter the other party's current dream."

"I hope the existence of collective dreams won't affect my plan." A trace of worry flashed through Tang Hao's mind, and he began to try to weave dreams.

To weave dreams, he only needs to construct the scene in his consciousness.

With the previous investigation and Tang Hao's current spiritual awareness, this step was very smooth.

He also borrowed the concept of real-time rendering from games to avoid building too large a scene at one time, which would lead to the depletion of spiritual power.

'Done! Let's get started, then.' Make arrangements according to the plan.

In front of Tang Hao's closed eyes, a giant jade butterfly slowly emerged from the darkness.

At first it was just a faint outline, but as its wings fluttered, it gradually solidified into something substantial.

At a certain moment, he just felt dazed for a moment.

When he regained consciousness, he found himself outside the Tan family manor and his body was in an illusory state.

"It feels quite real, so it shouldn't alarm his subconscious defenses." Tang Hao glanced around.

The scene within a certain range around the gate is no different from reality, but the scene farther away appears hazy, as if hidden in fog.

Tan Linchuan stood woodenly in front of the door, staring into the distance with lifeless eyes.

A figure wearing a black robe and a blue butterfly mask on his face was slowly walking towards the manor.

"This is the Master, what's wrong with the mask?" Tang Hao, who was hiding nearby, frowned upon seeing this.

He was not surprised to see him wearing a mask. Perhaps it was just that the other person often appeared in this image.

Tang Hao used the [Dream Jade Talisman] to pull him into the dream, not to see what he looked like, and even verifying his master's identity was not the main purpose.

He wanted to use dreams to test the other party's true intention of controlling Tanjiabao and what means they would use to deal with him and others.

"But why is it the butterfly symbol? I've never heard of the [Hehuan Sect] having dream control techniques." He pondered this as he carefully observed the other party's next move.

The masked man walked straight up to Tan Linchuan, grabbed his face with one hand, and then lifted him up and pressed it against his own face.

His appearance changed immediately; his height, body shape, hairstyle and even clothing instantly transformed into that of Tan Linchuan, except... he was still wearing a butterfly mask on his face.

Seeing this scene, Tang Hao had a bad feeling in his heart.

After the master transformed into Tan Linchuan, he walked into the manor.

As he walked forward, the scene evolved, the stars moved, the light and shadows in the sky changed rapidly, and Tan Linchuan's clothes changed from a summer shirt to a fox fur coat.

Tan Linchuan had only walked around the manor when two men and four women followed him.

Back outside the manor, heavy snow was falling, the cold wind was howling, and Tang Hao and the other two fell from the sky.

Then, meetings, lunches, and leisurely outings followed, and time stretched into the night, coinciding with reality.

Tang Haoyin stood beside Tan Linchuan, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Let me see, what arrangements will you make next?"

He released some of his control and allowed the dream to evolve on its own.

However, a strange smile appeared on the corner of Tan Linchuan's lips. He turned around and went back to the bedroom, lying down on the bed, with his head resting on a porcelain pillow with blue and white patterns.

"There's no need to be completely consistent with reality, get up and have fun!" Seeing this, Tang Hao was speechless for a moment and glanced at the porcelain pillow.

His body trembled involuntarily: "Butterfly pattern, not good!"

Just as he realized something was wrong, he saw the butterfly pattern suddenly vibrate its wings.

"Boom!"

Thunder suddenly sounded, and the surrounding space began to twist and shake.

Tang Hao's ethereal form could no longer be maintained, and he immediately turned from ethereal to real, stumbling and falling to the ground from mid-air: "I am losing control of my dream!"

The moment he understood, he tried to take back the authority he had granted.

"Two forces are infiltrating the dream I've constructed." Tang Hao activated the [Dream Jade Talisman] and immediately noticed this.

Seeing that the two sides were at a stalemate, the balance was even rapidly tilting towards the other side.

He made a prompt decision to disconnect and exit the dream.

However... suddenly, a sharp sound of porcelain rubbing against each other could be heard faintly in the space.

Tang Hao also felt a stickiness on his skin, as if he was stuck in a spider web.

"Clap!"

A crisp sound like glass breaking rang in Tang Hao's ears.

"Bang!"

Countless dream fragments exploded, and an unparalleled force rushed towards him.

A jade-colored butterfly shadow suddenly appeared on his body and blocked the attack, but Tang Hao's eyes still went dark and his consciousness blurred for a moment.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already on the bed in the guest room.

"Huh!" Tang Hao sat up suddenly, "Failed?"

Controlling dreams is actually a very dangerous method. Fortunately, he borrowed the power of the [Dream Jade Talisman]. If it came from himself, this trip might hurt his soul, and that would be a big trouble.

"Fortunately, I got out of the dream smoothly..." Tang Hao suddenly stopped and quickly scanned the surrounding environment.

He was shocked: "No, this is not right, I am still in a dream."

Although the furnishings in the room remained unchanged, there was a faint layer of gauze-like mist covering the room, and the air had a slightly sweet and fishy smell, and everything had a slight sense of unreality.

Tang Hao swallowed his saliva and hurriedly activated the [Dream Jade Talisman] to try to escape from the dream again.

After searching for a while, he was shocked to find that the jade talisman was missing.

During the use of the [Dream Jade Talisman], it will enter the dream together. In theory, Tang Hao can summon it with just a thought, so there should be no possibility of losing it.

"Calm down! Calm down!" He took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and immediately rolled up his sleeves, pulled off his collar, and started searching on his body.

Still unsuccessful, he found a bronze mirror, took a look at it, and then he felt slightly relieved.

"Hmm? There is a barrier between me and the jade talisman, just like touching something with gloves." Tang Hao looked at the small jade butterfly mark between his eyebrows, sensed it with his spiritual sense, and fell into deep thought.

Then he looked at it carefully again and found that the jade butterfly mark was faintly mixed with blue and silver, and the two were intertwined like a chain, sealing and imprisoning the jade butterfly.

"Or rather, it's not a confinement, but an entanglement of three things." Tang Hao clenched his fists. "The mark formed by the [Dream Jade Talisman] is the core of my dream. The other two should also have cores."

As he thought about this, information and images suddenly flashed through his mind.

Collective dream, Phantom Spring, [Shocking Grass]!
Master Tan Linchuan, butterfly mask, disc-patterned porcelain pillow!
"Perhaps, during the day, the dream will dissipate on its own." Tang Hao walked out the door, "But I can't gamble. I have to find the other two dream cores!"

When we got outside the guest room, the fog was thicker and the visual distance was obviously compressed.

"Swish"

The barely perceptible sound of flapping wings reached his ears, and Tang Hao looked up in the direction of the sound.

I caught a glimpse of a blue butterfly fluttering by.

"That should be the power of the butterfly-patterned porcelain pillow manifested." He glanced at the surrounding mist, "The source of the mist is the hallucinogenic power of the [Shocking Spirit Grass] amplified by the Phantom Spring."

Just as he was about to head towards the medicinal fields, Tang Hao's mind moved: "Could Lao Luo and Lao Jiang also be in the dream?"

According to Luo Kedi, monks can stay awake in a collective dream.

He immediately walked towards the guest room next door.

"There's no one in Lao Luo's room." Tang Hao pushed the door open and took a look, then walked to the next room. "It seems they have gone somewhere else."

I had already given up hope.

As a result, when he pushed open Jiang Shenyin's door, he saw two people sitting at the table.

"Brother! It's great to have you here." Tang Hao was immediately overjoyed, "Quick, let's go..."

Luo Ke Di and Jiang Shen Yin heard the voice and immediately turned their heads to look over.

There were flashes of blue and silver light in the eyes of the two men.

The hairs on the back of Tang Hao's neck stood up, and he quietly made hand seals.
