Chapter 2605 The Tiger Wing General Who Was Ambushed
Sure enough, the Great Shaman Zhaomandu coughed lightly:
"In my shop. To awaken the general, the shop is closed to the public today."
We do not accept other guests.
He Lingchuan asked curiously, "How could the Great Shaman awaken me?"
Xu Shichu continued, "General, you fell asleep in your tent that day and never woke up. We tried all sorts of methods but couldn't wake you. General Hong said that your soul had disappeared, so our army searched everywhere within a hundred miles, but to no avail. Helpless, the Dafeng Army had to send you back to Panlong City and ask the Great Shaman for help."
He continued, "This incident once caused panic in the country."
General Hu Yi was renowned and popular. At that time, the Panlong Army was on an eastern expedition to the old Xiluo territory, and the absence of the commanding general could not be concealed.
He was a pillar of strength in the army, and his sudden mishap caused panic among the troops.
Fortunately, Panlong's opponent was too weak, and by then the overall situation was already decided. This incident did not change the final outcome that Xiluo would be annexed by Panlong.
But later...
He Lingchuan clenched his fists.
The key point is that in the following five years, he could hardly describe how much he regretted missing out on the development and war of Panlong Kingdom!
That bastard Da Fanghu, we chased him away too hastily.
His gaze never left Zhaomandu: "What is the Great Shaman's diagnosis?"
“General Red’s judgment is correct. You have no external injuries and your qi, blood and bones are still very strong. It’s just that your soul has left your body and is nowhere to be found.” The Great Shaman Zhaomandu spoke eloquently. “General Red even went to find the nearby Nightmare to interrogate you, although she did not believe that Nightmare or other evil spirits could have the ability to harm you.”
Nightmares can be used to kill ordinary people, and even some cultivators, without them noticing. When He Lingchuan was investigating the elixir of immortality case, someone used a nightmare to try and take his life in his dreams. But back then, He Lingchuan was just a commoner, and his cultivation was far inferior to what it is now.
Given his status as Tiger Wing General and his immense Yuan power, which nightmare could possibly get close to him?
General Hong knew it was impossible, but she still tried her best, which shows that she was also helpless.
"and after?"
"Since it is a matter of the soul, the king even sent people to the Gold Plains to obtain the precious lamp that was in someone else's possession."
He Lingchuan was moved, and then turned to Zhong Shengguang and said:
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
From Panlong City to the Golden Plains, there are tens of thousands of miles between them. Back then, He Lingchuan was ordered to retrieve the Bright Lamp, and the entire journey was smooth sailing, taking a year to complete. However, the Bright Lamp was retrieved then to awaken the Dragon God's consciousness, which was sleeping deep within Zhong Wuhan's sea of consciousness. But this time, Zhong Shengguang sent someone there entirely for He Lingchuan's sake!
The Golden Plains of Panlong World were still in complete chaos, and He Lingchuan had no idea how he got the clue to the Bright Lamp. It must have been extremely difficult.
Only someone who truly treats Zhong Shengguang like a son would go to such lengths for even the smallest possibility.
Thinking of this, He Lingchuan cursed the large pot in his heart once again.
Zhong Shengguang patted his shoulder: "Why say all this? If I were in your shoes, you would travel thousands of miles to fetch a new lamp for me."
He Lingchuan nodded solemnly: "That's for sure."
The great shaman's next words shocked him greatly: "I used the guiding lamp to find that your soul is no longer in this world."
"..." Precise, so precise!
He was kicked back to reality by the large pot, and his soul was indeed not in the Panlong World.
This pot even left him a body in this world; it really went to a lot of trouble.
At this point, the high shaman asked him:
"General, during your slumber, did you feel like you were in other places?"
"...Yes." He was jolted back to reality, and it had been over a decade since he'd been able to get over it.
He didn't know what the Great Pot had been doing all these years, but its elemental power had changed significantly. Perhaps the pot had been comprehending new rules and constantly upgrading itself?
The high shaman pressed further, "What place is it?"
"Uh," He Lingchuan stammered, something he hadn't done in a long time, "It feels like a world two hundred years in the future."
“That’s a dream, a mirage!” Xu Shichu interjected. “This is the real place!”
"Of course," He Lingchuan said seriously. "I found out as soon as I woke up."
He quickly steered the conversation back to the original topic: "Since my soul had vanished, how did the great shaman manage to revive me?"
“As far as we know, there are basically no soul-stealing spells that can work on you silently, so General Red, after going through Mitian’s memories, finally found a possibility,” the Great Shaman said, “Heavenly Illusionary Music.”
"PhantaCity?" He'd never heard of it.
The vast majority of the famous and renowned Heavenly Demons have a file in Cang Yan.
“Although the Celestial God Huanle is not a true god, she recently condensed her own divine essence—the Dream God Essence!” the Great Shaman explained. “Like humans, celestial gods also dream and have dreams. Since they exist, there must be a reason for it, and since there is a reason, it is possible for her to condense a divine essence.”
Yes, divinity is the individual understanding of the laws by the Heavenly Demon.
Since even demons dream, this phenomenon may lead to the deduction of underlying patterns, and laws will then emerge.
He Lingchuan's eyes flashed: "Are you saying that the reason I've been in a deep sleep for so long is because of the Heavenly Demon Illusion Music?"
"good."
Xu Shichu continued, "It took General Hong two and a half years to lure Huanle into the trap and capture her in one fell swoop!"
He Lingchuan listened, but could not utter a sound.
Dreams are inherently ethereal and elusive; trying to catch the fleeting god of dreams is incredibly difficult.
Aside from General Red, He Lingchuan couldn't think of anyone else with such abilities... Hmm, no, perhaps this unfathomable shaman in front of him could do it too.
But he doesn't seem to have ever made a move in public.
The great shaman had no idea what he was thinking, but continued to explain to him: "The god Huanle told Bega that he had hated you to the bone for a long time. At that time, you were at the height of your power, and you and General Hong led troops to attack Xiluo. So the Heavenly Demon assigned Huanle to lure your soul away and send it to the so-called 'Dreamland'."
He Lingchuan asked in surprise, "Why doesn't it kill me in my dream?"
One of the great abilities of nightmares is to kill in dreams. Once the soul dies, the physical body in reality becomes a vegetable and won't last long.
"It must have thought about it, and perhaps even tried, but failed," the Great Shaman chuckled. "Are you always very busy in your dreams, constantly encountering danger, or frequently facing powerful enemies?"
"Well...right!" He Lingchuan thought for a moment. He hadn't been idle for the past ten years or so. Although he had become the supreme ruler, he still often had to go out and fight monsters. Not to mention anything else, the battle of Yujing City was treacherous and dangerous, the struggle for Lingyun Palace to win the championship was difficult, and he had also fought against the righteous god Jialoutian and the true immortal Xuandu. Indeed, there were many twists and turns and he encountered many powerful enemies.
One wrong move and the person is gone.
