The villain and I have eight hundred minds combined

Chapter 341: Long Dream (7)

"Is this... dangerous? Why must she go in? Can't I go in her place?" Feng Xiao frowned, looking worried. This was originally the business of the Phoenix Clan, and he didn't want her to take any risks.

Qingxi said cautiously: "Since this is a dream-like illusion space, I think the magic that City Lord Mu has learned should be able to deal with it. There is no guarantee that there won't be some formations or something like that in there, and we need to find the eye of the formation and break it. Of course, this is just my guess."

Feng Xiao was still worried: "Then I'll go with her, so that I can take care of her if anything happens."

Qingxi sighed: "To be honest... this kind of magic does have risks, and I really can't guarantee its success, so my suggestion is... it would be best if one less person is involved..."

The clan leader and Feng Xiao were shocked. The hidden meaning of this sentence seemed to be... one more person would increase the danger. There was no guarantee that the people who went in would be able to come out safely?

Mu Hanxing, however, had a calm expression on his face and was calm in his mind.

She had seen all kinds of storms and waves along the way, and had been through the eighteen levels of hell. What could a small broken dream do to her? She was indeed calm and experienced, and she was fearless.

"I think Qingxi's decision is not wrong. Although I don't understand pupil skills, it seems to be a double-edged sword. It can enter the dream space, but it won't leave easily. One less person means one more person can be saved. I will go by myself. That's it." She was determined, "Qingxi, cast the spell for me and the master chef."

The three of them looked at her in silence, feeling unhappy.

Needless to say, the clan leader and Feng Xiao, putting aside other things, this matter was originally the business of the Phoenix clan, but letting others take risks to do it would always make people feel uncomfortable, not to mention that Feng Xiao felt sorry for her fighting alone.

His expression was ugly and sad, and Mu Hanxing quickly comforted him: "It's just a dream, are you still worried that I can't get out? Don't worry, it's okay."

Feng Xiao hesitated for a long time, and had to endure the pain and agree: "Okay... Then you must be more careful."

The clan leader was heartbroken. All the past grudges disappeared at this moment. Her tone became gentle. She looked at Mu Hanxing and said, "I never thought... that one day I would need you to solve a major clan matter for me... I, as the clan leader, feel really guilty..."

Mu Hanxing smiled faintly: "It seems that the alliance between Fuyue City and the Phoenix Clan is inevitable? I hope that after I come out, the clan leader will not regret it."

The clan leader sighed sadly: "As long as you can come out and the master chef can wake up, nothing else matters. Whatever you say is what matters."

She smiled and said, "That's great. I didn't expect this trip to the Phoenix Clan to be so smooth... By the way, you'd better tell me about the master chef in advance so that it will be easier for me to act in the dream."

She couldn't just go in without knowing anything.

The patriarch nodded: "Okay, I'll tell you."

Next, she listened carefully to what the master chef had to say.

His name was Fang He, and he was a fairy bird from the Phoenix clan who had lived for who knows how many hundreds of years.

A few years ago, he visited the State of Xu once. At that time, there was a water monster in the coastal area of ​​Xu State. Every day, strange man-eating fish would emerge from the deep sea. After they came ashore, they would bite any mortal they caught and eat the flesh of mortals as a delicacy. Sometimes, disgusting giant leeches would emerge from the sea, specializing in sucking human blood.

Later, people from the cultivation world heard about this and rushed over to eliminate all the monsters in the sea.

In order to prevent any more sea monsters from appearing, the king began to use the national treasury to build sophisticated ships for going out to sea. Maritime transportation could not be stopped no matter what.

Fang He, who came here by chance, heard about this and hurriedly found some officers and soldiers in the city to recommend himself, saying that he could build ships that could go to sea and perhaps could help the State of Xu a lot. The officers and soldiers saw that he had a good temperament and did not look like an ordinary person, so they recommended him to the king. The king agreed to his proposal to help build the ship, gave him a salary, and let him work in a shipbuilding workshop by the sea.

Later, when Fang He built the boat himself, the boatmen came over one after another and said that this boat might have the potential to survive the catastrophe.

When people talked about it more and more, the words finally reached the ears of the king.

The king asked the people why they said Fang He's ship had the luck to survive the disaster?

The people said: "Before, we actually encountered giant leeches on the sea. Countless leeches lurked in the deep sea, as if waiting to eat our boat. We thought we were going to be bitten to death by the leeches, but when those beasts approached the boat, they seemed to be afraid of something and retreated one after another, disappearing in the deep sea. We reached the shore smoothly all the way."

After hearing this, the king was delighted: "Good, good, the country will prosper and will not be invaded by evil spirits. Quick, quick! There will be a huge reward!"

Fang He became famous overnight, but his true identity has never been discovered. He has always appeared in Xu State as an ordinary mortal, working diligently in the workshop every day.

Later, there was a monster in Xu State, and Fang He helped the king to make weapons. Every citizen could rely on a simple and handy weapon to defend themselves, which made Fang He famous in Xu State.

In those years, Xuguo's feng shui was not good, and monsters appeared one after another. Asking people from the cultivation world for help or constantly spending high prices to make weapons could not completely solve the problem.

The King of Xu thought about it and decided that mortals were too weak, so it would be better for the whole country to practice martial arts. At least the next time monsters came, they could use their own country's military force to defeat those monsters.

However, things did not go as planned. Xu State had not advocated martial arts before, but suddenly issued a national policy requiring all citizens to practice martial arts. It was really hard to force them to do so. A large group of scholars and writers began to make trouble, gathering in the streets all day, claiming that the king of Xu State was belittling scholars. The most violent ones were dragged out and beheaded as a warning to the public, but the public opinion was difficult to calm down. Besides, it was not a wise king's thing to kill anyone who opposed it.

Therefore, the plan of nationwide martial arts training had to be abandoned, and the king had to find other ways.

Maybe the king got old and was always worried about state affairs. His health was not as good as before. Gradually, he was too lazy to think about new national policies. He heard that there was a spiritual place in heaven where immortals lived. If he could live in such a heavenly palace... then he would not have to worry about the demons and monsters on earth...

Thinking of this, the old king found Fang He and asked him in the court: "Mr. Fang, can you build a sky bridge that goes directly to the Heavenly Palace so that all the people of my country can live in the sky and eliminate future troubles. From now on, my country will no longer have to worry about the invasion of demons on earth and in the sea."

Fang He was horrified. He... had never thought of building a bridge to the sky.

……

Mu Hanxing felt very uncomfortable after hearing this. In his later years, the king was probably no longer concerned about protecting the country from being invaded by demons, but wanted to go straight to the heaven and enjoy the fate of an immortal. This... wasn't the same as what happened in Ningguo?

As expected, emperors since ancient times have wanted to achieve immortality and seek ways to seek the immortality, either to live a hundred years or to ascend to heaven and become an immortal.
