Chapter 69: True Dream

  "But I don't have any money," said Xiao Rou, spreading her hands. "Don't you need money to take a bus now?"

  She was looking at me while talking, and I felt quite embarrassed at that time because I didn't have any money either. It seemed like a long time ago, but I still don't know what the money was used for.

  "Ha ha, I'm telling you, little dragon, if it's not working out for you, just sell that ancient bronze sword. It doesn't seem to be of much use to you anyway. You can exchange it for tens of millions and we can build our own plane then."

  "I think it's okay too." I knew the sunglasses guy was joking, so I went along with him for a sentence. At times like these, jokes are the best medicine to relieve the pressure.

  Xiao Rou then walked between us two, grabbed our hands and said: "Alright, you two stop quarreling, it's really time to think of a solution."

  When Xiaorou said that, I shut my mouth because I really didn't have any. But Mo Jing Xia was smiling triumphantly, taking out three bank cards from his body, one for agriculture, one for industry and commerce, and one for postal savings. He said to us: "At the critical moment, we still have to rely on Mo Jing Xia, this money is my family's property."

  I was quite surprised at first, but looking at his expression I felt something was off. Helplessly, I said to him: "Big brother, can you not mess around? Taking a plane costs RMB. This card of yours probably only cost 10 yuan to make."

  "Nonsense, if not RMB, are you asking for US dollars?" The sunglasses guy stared at me again, "Each card has one million RMB on it. If you don't believe me, go check at the ATM in the city. But if you ask how I made this money, that's something I won't tell."

  While speaking, he handed me and Xiao Rou a bank card each, telling us the password is 748478, implying "go die, go die". At that time, neither I nor Xiao Rou took it seriously, after all, Mo Jing Xiu likes to joke around, everyone on this planet knows that.

  But if he's just kidding, we're in trouble. Yunnan is really too far from here. If you want to go, you have to take a plane. The three of us will spend at least a few thousand yuan, and our clothes are also due for a change. When we get there, we'll still need to eat, but it's too hard for me to come up with the money. Asking my parents is definitely out of the question.

  Our luck wasn't bad, when we came out of Fengmen Village and got on the highway, we directly hitched a ride with a passing car, which took us straight to a nearby city. After entering the city, Mò Jiàn Xiá couldn't wait to take us two to an ATM machine, where he inserted his bank card. When I saw the number displayed on the screen, I was shocked - it really was over one million.

  "Now you two believe it!" The sunglasses hero said while taking out money.

  After he finished withdrawing, I started to put my bank card in as well. It turned out that it was the same as his, with over a million. However, I didn't withdraw directly from here, but instead went to the counter and withdrew some cash.

  We each have over a million on us, mainly because we can't carry too much. Before, when we didn't have that much money, it didn't feel like anything, but once we did, it felt heavy. Money really is a heavy thing. Following my suggestion, we found a hotel and also bought two sets of clothes at the mall. We took several hot water baths, and I even booked three tickets to Yunnan. Everything was ready.

  When we gathered together again, both I and the sunglasses knight were stunned, because Xiao Rou's outfit had completely changed at this time. In addition to a neat sportswear, she also wore a pair of black leather boots and a hair clip on her head. This made Xiao Rou look even more beautiful, if she put on makeup, it would be a knockout in Hollywood!

  Apart from Xiaorou's change in attire, we also got ourselves a set of cool clothes. I have to say that Mojing Xia is actually quite handsome. This atmosphere reminds me of the game "Xianjian" that I used to play.

  We three continued to chat for a while before going back to rest, mainly because we were really tired these days. We didn't even have the chance to catch our breath, and when I lay in bed, I still held the ancient bronze sword tightly in my hand, looking at it and muttering: "Ancient bronze sword, oh ancient bronze sword, although you are a treasure, I can't control you, what a pity."

  Unconsciously, I fell asleep. In a daze, I heard someone calling my name. I didn't wake up immediately because once a person is too tired, it's hard to wake up. But when I turned over, I found that the door of my room was open. A figure vaguely walked in, accompanied by a wisp of fog, making it seem very dreamy.

  I hastily got up and came over, at this time I looked at the witch. She walked shakily towards me, I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked the witch: "Am I dreaming, witch?"

  The old witch's expression was very kind, and she said to me: "You can think of it as a dream. I came this time to talk to you about several things."

  "Okay, Grandma Witch!" Although I knew this must be a dream, I still chose to listen to Grandma Witch's words.

  The old witch nodded slightly and continued: "As for my enemy, trouble Xiao Rou to tell her not to revenge, you don't have to avenge either. It's the cycle of cause and effect. I should have this calamity in my fate, but as for your trip to Yunnan, you must go. There, you may learn more things and understand more things!"

  "Witch, we know you've treated us with great kindness. Don't worry, we'll definitely avenge your death and make Miao Shun confess the names of those who killed you." I gritted my teeth hard, but accidentally bit my lip instead, causing me to flinch in pain.

  I've read in many books that you don't feel pain in your dreams, so am I not dreaming? At this moment, I reached out to grab the witch's arm, but somehow couldn't grasp it. I pinched my own arm hard, and it still hurt a lot.

  "Witch, isn't this a dream? You really appeared in front of me." At this time I was a bit excited.

  The old witch didn't respond to my words, and continued to say to me: "In the Wushan village of Yunnan, there is a person named Wuyun. You go find him and ask for his help to awaken your past life. If he's not in this world, you can go to the Wushan cave in the village to seek answers. Be sure to remember that the Miao Shun you mentioned must be killed after finding him, because he is a bad person. Also, take good care of the ancient bronze sword in your hand, only when the two of you are together can it exert its greatest effect. Half a month later, not only will the nine-tailed demon fox appear, but many evil spirits will also emerge, so you must become stronger."

  "Alright, Granny Witch, I've remembered it all. Now please tell me who else besides Miao Shun was involved in harming you."

  I stared at the witch, seeking answers from her. She smiled faintly at me and slowly walked towards the door. I quickly got out of bed to grab her hand. Her arm was right in front of me, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't grasp it. In the end, the witch slowly disappeared from my sight.

  As she disappeared, the mist also vanished. I forced my eyes open to see if it was a dream, staring until they hurt. But I didn't wake up. Just then, I suddenly heard the sound of knocking on the door.

  I quickly walked over, opened the door, and the sunglasses-wearing knight appeared in front of me with a smile. At that moment, I suddenly realized that everything that had happened earlier was not a dream. It wasn't the witch who had sent a dream, but she had really come here before.

  "What's wrong with you, kid?!" The sunglasses-wearing hero patted me on the shoulder.

  "Masked Rider, guess who I just saw." My heart is beating a bit faster now.

  "It won't be Xiaorou coming to find you, will it?" Mòjiàn Xiá bailed me a glance, "You'd better not mess around, she's my heart's desire, you understand?"

  "Oh dear, I'm in trouble with you now. I see the witch over there, she's coming to find me and told me a few important things."

  Now I'm too lazy to argue with him, so I directly turned serious and asked: "Are you telling the truth?" The sunglasses guy was also stunned and asked me in doubt.

  "Am I supposed to lie about what happened with the witch?" I said helplessly.
