Chapter 190 Shadow Sword’s Killing Reward, Zhuang Zhou’s b.u.t.terfly Dream (2)
It meant that Zhou Shu would become a completely different person in his dream. After waking up, these dreams would still remain clear in his mind.
This could easily cause problems in his self-awareness.
Was he Zhou Shu or the person in his dream?
Otherwise, Zhuang Zhou’s b.u.t.terfly Dream Technique wouldn’t exist. It was unknown if Zhuang Zhou had become a b.u.t.terfly or if the b.u.t.terfly had become Zhuang Zhou in the dream.
!!If one’s mental strength was insufficient, and they recklessly used the Zhuang Zhou b.u.t.terfly Dream Technique, the only result would be a state of confusion and madness.
But I have the Visualization of the Five Mountains’ True Form that can suppress one’s consciousness. I won’t lose my mind so easily. It’s a perfect match for Zhuang Zhou’s b.u.t.terfly Dream Technique, Zhou Shu thought.
I wonder how far my Zhuang Zhou b.u.t.terfly Dream Technique can trace back.
Suddenly, Shi Songtao walked past him.
“Old Shi!” Zhou Shu said.
Shi Songtao stopped and turned around.
When Zhou Shu called him Old Shi, he had the illusion that Zhou Shu was calling him teacher (1. ‘Old Shi’ means teacher in a similar intonation). This gave him a strange feeling. Can I be his teacher?
“Is there something wrong?” Shi Songtao asked.
“Lend me a strand of hair!”
Without waiting for Shi Songtao to refuse, Zhou Shu’s hand moved like lightning. He quickly pulled a strand of hair from Shi Songtao’s head and then ran off.
Shi Songtao widened his eyes, but there was nothing he could do. He spat and continued to do his things.
Zhou Shu grabbed Shi Songtao’s hair and randomly found a tent to hide in.
His tent was occupied by Yin Wuyou and Lu Wenshuang, but he was the official envoy of the diplomatic mission, so it was easy for him to find a place to sleep.
Holding Shi Songtao’s hair, Zhou Shu awkwardly lay down on the bed.
The thought of sleeping with a man’s hair was perverse.
But in order to test his technique, Zhou Shu endured it.
Actually, he did not necessarily have to use a strand of hair as a medium when using the Zhuang Zhou b.u.t.terfly Dream Technique.
Fingernails, blood, even bodily fluids…
They could all be used as a medium.
In comparison, his hair seemed more acceptable.
Zhou Shu first visualized the Five Mountains’ True Form. Five mountains appeared in his consciousness, suppressing all the chaotic thoughts in his sea of consciousness.
Then he began to activate the Zhuang Zhou b.u.t.terfly Dream Technique.
A faint white light began to emanate from his body as Shi Songtao’s hair suddenly began to burn. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a streak of white light that dissipated between Zhou Shu’s eyebrows.
A strange power seemed to envelop Zhou Shu’s body. His breathing gradually became steady and long, as if he had fallen asleep.
At the same time, the layer of faint white light on the surface of his body didn’t disappear. On the contrary, as he breathed, the white light flickered, making the scene appear exceptionally magical.
After Zhou Shu used the Zhuang Zhou b.u.t.terfly Dream Technique, he felt as if his entire body was floating, as if he was weightless. After he flew for a while, a black tunnel suddenly appeared in front of him. Before he could react, he was sucked into the tunnel.
He felt the world spinning around him. When he opened his eyes again, he was greeted by the sight of snow…
Zhou Shu felt very strange. He seemed to have become a completely different person. He clearly knew everything that was happening, but at the same time, he also had a thought that belonged to him.
But this thought had no intention of interfering with the body’s original thoughts.
It felt like he was thinking about something while doing something else.
He was not watching from the sidelines but was actually doing it himself. Yet he felt a sense of detachment.
This feeling made Zhou Shu feel extremely uncomfortable.
His extravagant voice echoed in the room. Zhou Shu clearly knew that he was in a dream.
d.a.m.n it. Shi Songtao looks so pretentious, but he’s actually so coquettish! Zhou Shu cursed. The reason he was still able to maintain a sliver of his consciousness was probably because of the Visualization of the Five Mountains’ True Form.
Otherwise, he should have completely felt like he had become Shi Songtao.
An hour later, Shi Songtao fell asleep.
Zhou Shu felt like he had fallen asleep in his dream.
After a night, Shi Songtao woke up.
Zhou Shu felt as if he had truly become Shi Songtao. All of Shi Songtao’s thoughts and actions seemed to come from him.
Shi Songtao’s life was very regular. Every day, he would study the art of forging on time and forge on time.
In his dream, Zhou Shu didn’t feel that he was watching another person’s life. He truly felt that he had become Shi Songtao!
Under these circ.u.mstances, he naturally wouldn’t feel that Shi Songtao and his concubine’s activities were dirty.
Day after day, Zhou Shu’s self-awareness grew fainter and fainter, as if he had truly become Shi Songtao.
After an unknown period of time, Zhou Shu’s body suddenly trembled, and the layer of white light dissipated.
He opened his eyes. There seemed to be countless scenes flashing in his eyes, and his pupils were somewhat unfocused.
Visualization of the Five Mountains’ True Form!
Zhou Shu used a sliver of clarity to visualize the Five Mountains’ True Form.
Five mountains suddenly appeared in his sea of consciousness, suppressing all his emotions.
After a long while, Zhou Shu let out a long sigh of relief. His eyes gradually regained clarity.
What a terrifying technique! Zhou Shu thought in fear.
When he just woke up, he almost thought he was Shi Songtao!
Even now, the scene in his dream was still clear in his eyes. It was as if he was recalling his own experiences.
If not for the Visualization of the Five Mountains’ True Form, he might really have suffered from schizophrenia.
Zhou Shu felt terrified just thinking about it. If his mental strength wasn’t enough, and he recklessly used the Zhuang Zhou b.u.t.terfly Dream Technique, he really might become the person in his dreams.
In the dream, I became Shi Songtao, Zhou Shu thought. But right now, I haven’t completely mastered his forging skills and Martial Dao.
He carefully a.n.a.lyzed his gains this time.
In reality, he had experienced one year of Song s.h.i.tao’s life.
Putting aside the trivial matters of his life this year, at most, it would be a wet dream. Zhou Shu wouldn’t develop any feelings for Shi Songtao’s concubines just because of this.
Shi Songtao himself might not have any feelings…
What Zhou Shu was concerned about was the knowledge he had obtained from his dream. He also discovered that he didn’t grasp all of Shi Songtao’s forging techniques and Martial Dao cultivation. What he grasped was only what Shi Songtao had learned in the past year. In other words, unless he learned it from the life he had experienced in the dream, he wouldn’t be able to obtain what the person in the dream had learned in other times, much less directly obtain the cultivation of the person in the dream.
This was also normal. Otherwise, wouldn’t he be able to grasp all the knowledge of the person just by entering their dreams?
From the looks of it, only by experiencing the learning process in the dream would he be able to grasp that portion of knowledge instead of directly grasping it from the memories of the person in the dream.
Even so, the Zhuang Zhou b.u.t.terfly Dream Technique is abnormal.
Zhou Shu was extremely shocked. This Zhuang Zhou b.u.t.terfly Dream Technique was as abnormal as he had imagined.
Shi Songtao won’t be able to hide anything from me in the future.
Although it seemed a little perverted when he thought about it in detail, this was what Zhuang Zhou b.u.t.terfly Dream Technique was about.
If I can get Shen Yue’s hair, nails, blood, and so on, then won’t I be able to know the secret of his and Xiao Shunzhi’s resurrection?
If I obtain the medium of the higher-ups of Great Qin, there won’t be any secrets to the setup of the nine checkpoints.
Zhou Shu’s eyes lit up. This was a good idea!
