Chapter 23: Dream

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

During the Song dynasty, as Song Chao was thinking, a delicate and pretty young girl suddenly appeared before him. Although she looked young, she had a calm and steady demeanor.

“Hello, are you Mr. Song? I am Zizhu from Lingyun Mountain,” said Ji Jing.

“Oh! Zizhu Daoist, yes, that’s me. Nice to meet you,” replied Song Chao, surprised that the person who came to him from the Lingyun Mountain Daoist Temple was such a young female Taoist. He had heard that the temple was well-known in the industry and had found it through his connections in the Taoist Association.

Ji Jing was well aware of Song Chao’s surprise, having encountered too many people who underestimated her because of her age over the years. But people with real skills never lacked opportunities to prove themselves, and Ji Jing paid no attention to it, focusing only on solving the nightmare problem.

“Mr. Song, I already have a general understanding of the nightmare situation from the letter of appointment. Let’s start now. Can you describe in more detail the dreams you had?” she asked calmly.

“Of course, I dreamt for three days. The first day was a repetition of last Saturday’s scene. I received a message and rushed over, and Mr. Li was already lying on the ground, barely breathing. I didn’t dare to get too close that day, afraid of causing secondary damage, but in the dream, I approached him…” Song Chao answered smoothly. He had been asked this question by various experts he had hired, and had become quite proficient in his response.

The scenes in the peach blossom forest were also similar, with the man standing under the peach blossom tree, and Song Chao walking towards him step by step.

Ji Jing thought for a moment and asked, “In the dream, when you walked over, did Mr. Li, who had the accident, try to say anything or do anything?”

No one had ever asked Song Chao this question, and he hesitated for a moment, trying hard to recall.

“In fact, the memories in the dream are always fuzzy after waking up. I don’t remember the scene very clearly, but in the peach blossom forest, he seemed to have actually said something to me!” The more he recalled, the more he felt that Ji Jing was right, that man seemed to have really been saying something to him!

He added, “And, according to the rumors among the employees, some people think he wanted to say something.”

“That’s right,” nodded Ji Jing. “This should be his dream message. Dream messages either predict good or bad fortune, warn future generations, or seek justice for a wronged person. Mr. Li may have had something very important to deal with before his death, so he came to you in his dream message.”

“What?” Song Chao was skeptical. “But why did he come to us in his dream message? Normally, shouldn’t he be sending it to his family?”

Ji Jing frowned as well, realizing that it was rare for someone to send a dream message to someone completely unrelated.

Looking around and seeing no one else passing by, she activated her spiritual power and flicked out a charm with her right hand.

Song Chao was stunned as the charm just floated in the air without any external force holding it up!

In the past few days, he has also met various masters who chanted scriptures, drew formations, and performed various movements. They said that they were performing various exorcism operations, but Song Chao had no idea whether there was really something invisible that had changed, or whether he had just been fooled.

However, the talisman Ji Jing showed him was the first superpower that Song Chao had ever seen. Now, all his suspicions were gone. The talisman was really floating! It was really flying! She was a real Taoist!

It turned out that everything written in TV dramas was true! Song Chao wished he could record a video of Ji Jing with his phone. This was too incredible!

When Ji Jing saw Song Chao’s shocked face, she felt a little amused, but she tried hard to keep a straight face and didn’t laugh.

In fact, not all the people that Song Chao invited were necessarily frauds. Some of them might have real abilities and could really exorcise demons. It was just that Song Chao was an ordinary person and couldn’t see it.

Just like now, Song Chao only saw a floating talisman, while Ji Jing saw the spiritual power swirling around it.

She refocused her attention on the talisman and quickly came to a conclusion, “I’ve confirmed that there’s no interference from other sorcerers. This dream is indeed entrusted to you by Mr. Li.”

When Song Chao spoke, his voice trembled, “Ah? So, what do you think this means, Daoist Zizhu? What does he want to tell us?”

Ji Jing thought for a moment, “Since he came to give you a dream, it’s very likely related to the KTV. Song Boss, what have you done related to him while dealing with Mr. Li’s matter?”
