Chapter 608
"What did you see in your dream?" It was a gentle and low voice, as if it could penetrate the human soul.
The man lying on the recliner had his eyes tightly closed, his brow furrowed, as if trying to recall a dream. After a moment, he slowly said, "I saw two figures, their backs against the light. They seemed to say something, but I couldn't hear it clearly. When I tried to lean forward to listen carefully, they suddenly turned to dust and dissipated into the air."
The voice continued to ask, "Do you recognize those two figures? Don't they look familiar to you?"
The man lying on the recliner fell silent, his eyes tightly closed, as if struggling against some inner force. His forehead was faintly glistening, beads of sweat continuously forming and trickling down his cheeks. His hands gripped the armrests tightly, his fingers turning slightly white from the exertion, as if he were trying to break free from some invisible cage.
However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break through the barrier. Every time he tried, he was just a little short of strength, as if he was being held down by a powerful force.
"No, no, no! Impossible!" Suddenly, the man on the recliner opened his eyes and sat up. His body trembled violently, as if he was afraid of something. His pupils kept shrinking, as if he was frightened by some terrifying sight.
He looked around, his eyes confused and frightened, as if looking for a place to rely on.
"What on earth is that? Why did I dream of such a scene?" His voice trembled slightly, as if the horrible dream was still lingering in his mind.
However, when he calmed down, the frightened expression on his face had disappeared without a trace, as if nothing had happened.
"Have a drink of water." The man just now said softly and handed him a glass of warm water.
Xie Yuchen took the cup, took a sip, and felt the warm liquid sliding down his throat, bringing a sense of comfort.
"Simply put, this is just a precognitive dream," the man explained. "Your father and your father are both cultivators. I'm sure you know what it feels like to have a precognitive dream from a cultivator."
Xie Yuchen nodded, indicating that he understood. His father and grandfather were both Taoists, so they naturally knew something about these supernatural phenomena.
"That's something that's going to happen, and there's no way I can change it, right?" His tone was somewhat helpless, as if he had already accepted this fact.
"Yes," the man replied affirmatively, "precognitive dreams often foreshadow something in the future, and usually it is unchangeable."
Xie Yuchen drank his water silently, his heart filled with hesitation and uneasiness. He didn't know how this impending event would affect him, nor did he know if he could bear it.
"Master Xie, you know who those two people are, right?" the man who handed the water suddenly asked, as if he was certain that Xie Yuchen knew who the person who turned into dust in his dream was.
Xie Yuchen's body trembled violently, and the cup in his hand almost slipped. He clutched the quilt tightly, lowering his head. The tangled hair on his forehead blocked his eyes and the words he was about to say.
"Master Xie, you have stayed here for too long. The little guy at the door seems to be about to rush in." The man saw Xie Yuchen's embarrassment and immediately changed the subject, looking at the figure swaying at the door.
After hearing the reminder, Xie Yuchen slowly shifted his gaze towards the door. He saw a figure looming in the doorway, seemingly hesitant. This figure sometimes lingered at the door, and sometimes crouched furtively at the crack of the door, peering in.
"What are you looking at?" Xie Yuchen was curious and suddenly opened the door. The black blind man lying on the door was completely unprepared for this and stumbled into the room.
"Hua'er, are you okay?" After falling to the ground, Hei Xiazi didn't care about his own embarrassment. He immediately looked up at Xie Yuchen and asked with concern. At the same time, his eyes kept sweeping behind Xie Yuchen and fell on the person who was packing up his things.
"What can happen to me?" Xie Yuchen responded unhappily, and twisted Hei Xia Zi's ear, causing Hei Xia Zi to scream in pain.
"Ouch, be gentle, Huaer, I'm wrong, okay?" Hei Xia Zi begged for mercy while continuing to observe the person behind Xie Yuchen.
"Senior, we are really sorry to bother you this time. We will leave now!" Xie Yuchen turned around and bowed to the person behind him, then pulled Hei Xia Zi, and the two of them left the room noisily like children.
"It's so great to be young!" the man sighed as he watched Xie Yuchen and Hei Xiazi walk away. He turned and gazed into the distance, as if glimpsing his past self through the void. "If you were still here, maybe we could still play with them!" His voice revealed a hint of melancholy and regret.
