Master Wu glanced at Su Yu and said mysteriously, “It’s simple. They have sothing that can ward off evil spirits. When you guys entered the dream, the two of them hadn’t entered the dream... The two of them you saw in the dream have always been the two of them in the dream. They are the second type of people that I’ve ntioned. They were created by the dream creators.”
Su Yu was suddenly enlightened. It seed that when Pudding and Little Bean appeared after they ca back from Yunnan, it was all an illusion created by the dream makers. The real twins never entered their dreams. Was it sothing that could ward off evil? Su Yu tried hard to recall. Suddenly, he rembered that the twins always had a pair of white jade gourds around their necks. They were given to them by Lu Yan when they were just born, and they were said to be priceless. Jade had the ability to ward off evil. Perhaps Lu Yan had prayed to obtain so blessings on the jade.
That made sense...
“Master Wu... why is the dream afraid of amulets and white jade?”
Su Yu turned into a curious baby, asking all the questions in his heart.
Master Wu replied slowly, “What should I tell you? Let’s make an analogy... Although dream makers and hypnotists are the most advanced technologies now... They are not superstitions. These are only the views of ordinary people. In the view of Daoism, after creating a dream and letting others enter... to attain a certain objective, we call them evil techniques... It’s like watching a period drama where soone practices martial arts. Although they are highly skilled in martial arts, it’s the sa as when soone gains powers using dark thods... Good and evil do not coexist... Evil things will definitely have sothing to subdue them. Therefore, at this ti, be it amulets, charms, Great Compassion Mantra, or white jade, they would beco thods to avoid evil things.”
“I understand what you an now.” Su Yu nodded thoughtfully.
“But you subconsciously added your amulet to yourself in your dream. You don’t have a real amulet...” Master Wu said.
“Yes, I only asked my mother for the amulet after I ca back.” Su Yu touched the amulet, feeling a mix of emotions.
“Therefore, the thing that saved you was not the amulet. After all, it did not really exist in your dream.”
“That should be the scripture I learned by accident. As my mother is a Buddhist, I often hear her chant the Great Compassion Mantra. As ti passed, I also picked up a little.”
Su Yu followed Master Wu’s train of thought and revealed the truth for himself. Suddenly, he felt that the mystery was getting clearer, as if the clouds were about to disperse.
Master Wu nodded. “There’s nothing wrong with what you’re saying. The Great Compassion Mantra is indeed one of the most important points, but that’s not the most important thing. The most important thing is... you already felt that sothing was wrong in the dream... Although you didn’t think it through directly, your thoughts and logic have already begun to guide you... It’s like a person dreaming and then realizing that they’re dreaming. So what really saved you wasn’t your amulet, not your Great Compassion Mantra, but your own consciousness.”
If an ordinary person heard this, they would definitely be confused.
However, Su Yu imdiately understood...
Indeed, many tis in the dream, he felt that sothing was wrong...
After coming back from Yunnan, he felt that Huo Mian was strange and sothing was wrong with Qin Chu. He felt like sothing was wrong with him eating with Huo Mian in the underwater palace...
Therefore, Su Yu was the only person among them who didn’t completely believe in the dream. That was why he was sent out with the help of the amulet and the Great Compassion Mantra. It could be considered a narrow escape...
“By the way, Master Wu, there’s sothing I don’t understand.”
“Go ahead.”
“The ti does not match. I asked my friend’s butler. My friend and his wife even ca back to sleep last night... It’s only been one night, but it’s been more than a month in my dream, and the tiline is ssed up... What’s going on? Are we going back to reality every day and dreaming only at night?” Su Yu was getting more and more confused.
