Chapter 25 Deciphering
On Anxi Street outside Taiping Medical Center, Yunyang and Jiaotu were dressed in black, squatting side by side in front of Mengji with their chins propped up: "He looks like he's in a little pain... He does this every time he has a dream."
?”
Yunyang shook his head: "I don't know, maybe it's because I paid more this time, so I was more distracted when creating dreams?"
When the two of them faced each other, they saw that Mengji's expression was ferocious and twisted, and his body was twitching in waves, as if the dancing goddess was possessed.
Yunyang always felt that this scene seemed familiar. He frowned and said, "Why does Mengji seem to have been stabbed by me? No wonder he charges such a high price every time he creates a dream. The price is indeed very high."
The White Rabbit nodded quickly, expressing complete agreement: "Yeah, it's worth the money, he should earn it!"
In the dream, the dream chicken, who was transformed into Zhou Chengyi, was being pricked by the imaginary white rabbit and cloud sheep created by Chen Ji. He changed places in three seconds and was almost pricked all over his body.
Chen Ji stood in the distance and meditated. He already knew that this was a dream, but how did this dream come about?
Cloud sheep!
He remembered that Yunyang had cut off a lock of his hair for no apparent reason before outside Liu Shiyu's house!
Only this strange behavior can explain his strange situation now!
Thinking of this, Chen Ji decided to leave the dream.
In an instant, the courtyard of the Zhou Mansion in front of him became transparent, and behind the transparent Zhou Mansion there was another blurry scene... the main hall of the medical center.
The two images overlapped, and Chen Ji wanted to return to reality, but he seemed to be stuck by a huge spider web, unable to break through this layer of dream.
Mengji sneered: "Want to leave? Come and have fun in the Infernal Purgatory!"
As he finished speaking, he saw that the Zhou Mansion suddenly collapsed into an abyss, the sky and the earth changed colors, and the cloud sheep and the bright rabbit also turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared. The original dreamland only had a small courtyard, but now it is extremely vast.
In a daze, Chen Ji couldn't tell which level was reality and which level was dream, and fell into confusion again.
Mengji returned to his own appearance. He stood in the abyss and shook his collared placket. He combed his messy hair with both hands and whispered in a sharp voice: "I almost fell down on you, a little apprentice."
, it really makes our family angry... I didn’t expect you to be an 'officer' material, forcing me to create a first-class dream!"
Following Mengji's words, Chen Ji felt as if he was divided, unable to distinguish between left and right, up and down, as if the world was turned upside down.
Suddenly, the ground of the abyss collapsed, and Chen Yi's body fell into the darkness. When he opened his eyes again, he was already in the lava, surrounded by tens of thousands of people struggling in the magma, suffering from the burning pain.
The next moment, the lava world also disappeared, and the traces fell downward again, falling into the cold pool, being suffocated and squeezed by the cold.
He wants to maintain his sanity, but every time he tries to maintain his sanity, he falls to another level of the world.
Every time he fell into a new world, he would lose a little bit of his understanding of the real world, and he would no longer be able to see the blurry scene in the main hall of the hospital.
At this moment, molten water poured out from the four fires and poured into his whole body. Chen Ji found that he could move his hands!
Those molten flows carried him from the cold pool world back to the lava world, then from the lava world back to the abyss world, and finally back to the Zhou Mansion!
Then slowly stop.
However, what's the use of using only your hands? There's still a step away from this dream...
No, it works!
Chen Ji stretched out his arm and groped the counter. He touched the "General Outline of Medical Skills" and flipped through the book.
After a while.
"Chen Ji?" Liu Quxing's voice appeared, tearing apart the dream and bringing Chen Ji back to reality instantly.
Wake up from the dream!
Chen Ji stood behind the counter and panted slightly. He turned to look at Liu Quxing: "Senior Brother Liu, why are you here?"
Liu Quxing, wearing a coat, stood beside the counter and looked at the general outline of medical skills that had been messed up in front of Chen Ji. He was heartbroken: "The sound of turning the pages of books in the middle of the night is deafening. It's hard for me to sleep... Junior Brother Chen, stop reading in the middle of the night."
Okay, I'm afraid..."
Chen Ji smiled and said, "Okay, I won't read anymore."
Liu Quxing smiled happily: "That's right. Master always says that you need to sleep well at this time to nourish yourself!"
Chen Ji said sincerely: "Thank you, senior brother, for reminding me."
This time, he was really grateful to Liu Quxing. If it weren't for him, he might still be trapped in a dream.
Liu Quxing took Chen Ji's arm: "Go to rest early. We brothers and sisters share the blessings and hardships. When the master beats someone, we will bear it together!"
On the other side, Mengji also woke up from sitting cross-legged, his pupils turning.
He looked at Yunyang and Jiaotu, his body suddenly trembled, and then he yelled angrily: "Didn't you say that he is just an ordinary person? Next time you need me to create a dream for someone with the talent to be an official, you must make it clear in advance.
That’s another price!”
Yunyang and Jiaotu looked at each other in confusion, "We don't know either. Does he have the talent to become an official?"
Mengji said angrily: "How can it be false? Class C dreams can only trap him for one stick of incense before he wakes up, and class B dreams can only trap him for half an hour."
But he also had some doubts in his heart: How did Chen Ji escape from the dream in the end?
Yunyang waved his hand: "Let's not talk about this matter for now. Let me ask you, is Chen Ji a spy from Jing Dynasty?"
Mengji said angrily: "I'm sure he's not."
After saying that, he stood up and patted his butt: "What about the reward? Double it, and I only accept Buddhist Tongbao."
Yunyang thought for a while, and finally took off a string of Buddhist beads from his wrist. Each black and purple Buddhist beads was engraved with strange patterns and dense numbers.
He said distressedly: "Five hundred taels of silver can be taken from any temple."
When Mengji saw the Buddhist Tongbao, he dusted himself off with satisfaction and said, "Deal, remember to come back to me next time you have an interrogation."
The White Rabbit said: "With so much money, how many new clothes and jade bracelets can you buy? Baohou's salary is lower than yours. We will look for him next time."
Mengji smoothed his hair and said slowly: "Then you go to him, he is a big mouth and can't keep secrets."
Jiaotu curled his lips: "We are still colleagues, and we know how to collect money, collect money, and collect money every day."
Mengji said disdainfully: "Go and help me kill Wu Xiu for free."
The white rabbit gave him a blank look: "I won't go."
Mengji put the string of Buddhist beads on her wrist, turned around and waved: "Let's go. The errands in Kaifeng Mansion have been completed. I will leave for Jinling tomorrow."
Looking at his leaving figure, Yunyang whispered: "Chen Ji actually has the talent to become an official, so we can't let the Prime Minister know about his existence... Otherwise, he might really ride on our necks.
Come up."
…
…
Late at night, Chen Ji was lying on the bed still unable to fall asleep, his mind was racing with everything he had encountered recently.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound from the bunk next door. He opened his eyes slightly and saw Liu Quxing wearing a coat, holding a book in the crease, and tiptoed out of bed.
Chen Ji looked through the crack in the door in confusion, and saw Liu Quxing getting into the kitchen, and then lighting an oil lamp in the kitchen...
Damn you...
Chen Ji also sat up, first opened the mattress and checked the five small silver ingots hidden in the gaps between the wooden boards, and then took out a book from under the mattress: "Recent Thoughts".
This is the book that Wu Yun retrieved for him from Liu Shiyu's mansion.
At that time, everyone's attention was drawn to the Commentary on the Four Books and Chapters, and there was no time to look at the differences in other books.
But Chen Ji only glanced at it twice and determined that this book contained a secret technique: the anti-cut method.
The so-called fanqie method means that the initial consonants of the previous character and the finals of the next character are recombined to form a new character. For example, Shizhang, Nioda, Zongluo, the initials and finals of these eight characters still correspond to upper and lower respectively.
, the four tones of left and right.
With the dim light outside the window, Chen Ji sat on the pavilion and read "Recent Thoughts" word by word, arranging each combination that could form a new word.
After flipping through it for half an hour, he suddenly put the words together in his mind: "Jing Chao does not believe that I am sending a message on behalf of the palace, so I need to confirm it with you personally."
Chen Ji's pupils shrank. The message he wanted to convey in this book was more explosive than the Commentary on the Four Books and Chapters. It actually directly involved the inside of Prince Jing's palace.
Zhou Chengyi is a spy of Jing Dynasty, and he delivers news to Liu Shiyu on behalf of Jing Dynasty.
The book in Liu Shiyu's home was to be sent to a certain big shot in the palace. Liu Shiyu was the intelligence hub between Jing Dynasty and a certain big shot in the Jing Palace!
When Yunyang asked Chen Ji to attack Prince Jing's Mansion, Chen Ji thought that the other party was trying to frame him, but he didn't expect that Yunyang's words turned out to be true, and Prince Jing's Mansion and Jing Chao were really connected!
Chen Ji's eyes were bright. Ning Chao and Jing Chao had no sense of belonging for him, so no matter what happened, it didn't matter. What mattered was that he could seize the opportunity.
He continued to decipher the second half of the book, and it was not until dawn that he finally got the following information: The spies in the palace will look for opportunities to meet with you.
Chen Ji was stunned.
There is a spy from the Military Intelligence Department in the palace, who is it?!
Wait, could the spy in the palace be someone from the Taiping Medical Center?
Previously, the master used the six-yao technique to tell fortunes, and the hexagrams said that visiting a doctor was a bad omen. As a result, the master left with the Liu family early that morning...
Judging from this, the master seems to have a relationship with the Liu family. Could it be that the master is not going to diagnose a disease, but to exchange information?
Couldn’t Master be Jing Chao’s spy?!
Wait a minute, Liu Quxing kept the dirty clothes without washing them and insisted on taking them back to her mother. It may be that she was hiding information in the clothes...
Chen Ji was dumbfounded by his own reasoning. He had been so nervous these past few days that he looked like a spy to everyone now.
Thinking of this, he leaned half of his body on the bunk, quietly opened the door and looked towards the kitchen opposite.
At this time, Liu Quxing was holding a book in his hand and leaning out from the kitchen, quietly looking around the apprentice's dormitory to see if anyone found out that he was secretly studying...
Eyes facing each other.
Liu Quxing: "..."
Chen Ji: "..."
The two of them retreated silently, but She Dengke lay on the bed and slept soundly without any worries.
Chapter completed!
