Chapter 65 Suzaku Dreamland

After entering the white mist, Lyu Liang’s vision suddenly became blurred. When it was restored, a voice suddenly floated into his ear: “Stupid child, I let you lie down and read a book and you end up falling asleep! Mother made the stewed fish you love most, hurry and eat it! After eating, let’s go to your grandfather’s house!”

Lyu Liang did not dare to look at the scene in front of him. In the room, his mother whom he had only seen once from the memory of the Devil Soul, Xuanli Yue, was smiling and asking Lyu Liang to eat. His father Lyu Liren, was also at the dinner table.

At the moment, Lyu Liang was sitting on a soft couch opposite them. Hearing his mother’s voice, his expression quickly changed from surprise to excitement. With a heartrending cry of “mother!” Lyu Liang’s body shape and appearance changed rapidly until he was at the age of six or seven. He cried and rushed to his mother, much to her amusement.

Seeing the child Lyu Liang who rushed to hug her, Xuanli Yue touched his little head lovingly, and said softly: “My little Liang’er, are you having a nightmare? Do not be afraid, mother will always be with you. Don’t cry, or your father will start teasing you again!”

When Little Lyu Liang heard those words, he stopped crying and broke away from his mother’s arms. He scratched his head in embarrassment and then sheepishly greeted Lyu Liren: “Daddy!”

“Stupid kid, how old are you, to be still crying! As your father, I am the next master of the family, so my son cannot be a softie!” Lyu Liren shook his head in fake anger.

Lyu Liang smiled in embarrassment, sat at the dinner table and finished his meal happily with his parents.

After eating, the family sat in a carriage, which was waiting by the door and went to the home of Lyu Liang’s grandfather. After a while, they stopped in front of a magnificent luxurious palace. There, he saw his kindly grandfather. From what he remembered, the Lyu family was the richest family in this small country.

From the moment when Lyu Liang uttered the word “Mom!”, his memory was quickly filled with large amounts of information, all of which were about his happy family life.

Since then, Lyu Liang had lived a life of a wealthy child. Ten years passed quickly. However, at the age of twelve, he sneaked to an abandoned warehouse near his home to hunt for treasures. It was the place where his father and mother had strictly forbidden him to enter, but he was at a rebellious stage, so he crept in when the adults were out.

When he pulled out a piece of bright red silk cloth from an old box, he suddenly had a huge shock. His eyes seemed confused and he kept repeating a name. Tears streamed continuously down his cheeks. He clutched his chest with his hands and his body was trembling.

After a while, Lyu Liang wiped away his tears and put the red dragonfly cloth carefully into his pocket. When he left the warehouse, he had a bright smile on his face.

When Lyu Liang was seventeen years old, he was already a strong and sturdy man. The matchmakers were constantly at their house, hoping to make a suitable match. Lyu Liang smiled each time, but did not take too much notice.

However, every night when it was quiet, Lyu Liang would pull out the red dragonfly cloth, caressed it gently for a while and hold it close to his heart when he went to sleep.

As he grew older, the family was very confused with Lyu Liang’s attitude. After being questioned several times and not getting any answers, his family members chose to let him be and tried to understand his moods.

At the age of twenty-two, seeing that his parents were getting older and watching their envious expressions whenever they saw other children, Lyu Liang suddenly raised the idea of getting married. This made the entire Lyu family ecstatic. That night, when it was quiet, Lyu Liang took out the red dragonfly cloth and seemed embarrassed to tell this to it.

In the end, Lyu Liang chose a daughter of an ordinary teacher as his wife, and then, taking his newly wed wife, went to live on their own, for three years. No one knew where they went and Lyu Liren even sent someone to search for him, but Lyu Liang seemed to have disappeared from the world. From then on, there was no news.

Three years later, Lyu Liang, now twenty-five years old, returned to the Lyu family with a baby girl in swaddling clothes. After greeting everyone, he told them that his wife died a year ago. This girl was their child, named Lyu Siying.

Since then, Lyu Liang never stepped out of the house, always accompanying his parents and was not even interested in the position of the master of the Lyu family. Lyu Liang’s eyes showed a deep sense of reluctance and attachment, especially for his mother.

When Lyu Liang was thirty-two years old, Grandpa’s life came to an end. Lyu Liang knelt in front of his grandfather’s bed for a whole night before he got up and left.

Lu Liren passed away at the age of fifty-five years old. Lyu Liang cried for a night and knelt for three more days before he started preparing for the funeral of his father.

Finally, when Lyu Liang was sixty-one years old, Xuanli Yue was on her deathbed. At her request, she and Lyu Liang were the only ones left in the room.

Looking at her son, who was more than 60 years old, but still crying like a child, Xuanli Yue’s eyes were also filled with tears. She gently stroked Lyu Liang’s head, smiled and said: “Child, mother and father knows everything; Siying is not your own child, right? That woman has wed into our family, but you helped her to marry someone else? Although I don’t know why, I understand that my son must have a good reason to do so. So, we understand. Your eyes have a strange glow in them since the age of twelve. Others can’t see it, but your mother can see it. From then on, I knew that you are no longer the stupid boy from the past!”

“Mom! Sorry! I am really sorry! I let you down! I miss you and I don’t want to leave you!” Lyu Liang had been crying so much but even as the tears completely blurred his eyes, he was reluctant to remove his gaze from his mother’s face.

Xuanli Yue smiled gently, stroking Lyu Liang’s cheek, and said softly: “Stupid child, the happiest time of your mother’s life, is when I am with you. “Your mother knows that you have been keeping something in your heart. Is it a very important thing? Whose child is Ying’er? When you are always dreaming, I know that it has to be a person who is important to you. Go, don’t let the Lyu family tie you down! You have always been my pride and joy!

Three days later, Xuanli Yue passed away. Unlike in the previous two days, Lyu Liang did not shed any tears and his face was calm. He looked at the busy Lyu family members and after a moment, kneeling on the knees, raised his head against the sky and said: “Lishui Lyu family! I Lyu Liang swears that one day, I will bring Ying’er back together with my father and mother. Ying’er, wait for me!”

Through his tears, the surrounding scenes and people suddenly became blurry and gradually disappeared between the heavens and the earth. In the darkness, there was only Lyu Liang who was kneeling on the ground. At this moment, his appearance was back to his original state before entering the illusion and the Heaven Mixing Cloth was still tied around his waist.

At this time, a red-haired old man dressed in a fiery red robe appeared in front of him. He looked at Lyu Liang’s eyes with a complex expression and said: “It took five months for you to walk out of the Suzaku dreamland. It should have been shorter, but you actually chose to stay even though you know it is a dreamland. It seems that you really have an unimaginable obsession!”

Lyu Liang got up, saluted and replied respectfully: “Thank you for the grace of letting me stay in the dreamland! The years of life in the dreamland are my happiest days!” .

The red-haired old man smiled bitterly: “Hey, it was an illusion that was distressing for someone else, but you actually enjoyed and appreciated it! If my old buddy hears about this, I am afraid I will be a laughing stock! Oh, it failed, it is a failure!”

It was not convenient for Lyu Liang to talk and all he could do was smile.

A moment later, the red-haired old man nodded slightly and praised him, saying: “I am the sacred beast from the Pangu Origin world; the Demon Emperor Suzaku, who stayed behind to guard the Suzaku dreamland. In addition to creating illusions, my Suzaku family is also good at calculation and deduction. I see you will face a tribulation soon and I will give you a glass bead, which can be used to protect the soul. You can refine it into your soul and it will save your life at a critical moment!”

Although the old man was quite vague about the matter, Lyu Liang knew that this was a life-saving aid, so he did not hesitate and directly refined it to integrate into his soul. He then bowed to give thanks to the old man.

At this moment, at the other end of the Heaven Mixing Cloth, there was still nothing to be seen. Lyu Liang smiled and said softly: “Ying’er, don’t be afraid, I’m coming!” Subsequently, he disappeared in a flash.

The red-haired old man, however, stopped smiling and had a sombre expression. He first shook his head and then sighed: “Is this the man my old friend saber teeth told me to pay attention to? He has a terribly deep obsession, but it seems that he indeed has the qualifications of possessing the “Saint Scar”! Which side will he stand with? Let us wait and see…”

……………………

At this point, Shangguan Ying, who was now 60 years old, was at a deep courtyard and looking up at the sky. Although she felt a little confused, her eyes had a firm gaze.

A healthy old tiger-eyed man stood behind her, and asked: “Sister, are you thinking again about someone who does not exist at all? How long will it be before you get rid of that illusion? You said you did not want to get married. Now, except for your appearance at the death of father and mother before, you usually hide inside and do not go out at all! Now there are rumors that you were abused and put under house arrest by the Shangguan family. Alas! ”

When Shangguan Ying heard these words, she turned around and apologised: “Brother, I’m sorry. I’m going to stay in the front yard for a few days from tomorrow. But I don’t think my thoughts are just an illusion. I always think that in a short while, that person will come to look for me!” After that, she drew out a bright red scarf from her chest pocket and stroked it and her eyes became extremely soft.

“Alas, since you found this red silk cloth when you were a child, you’ve become like another person. Will that person come for you soon? My good sister, please spare this big brother! How will he come? Where will he come from? When on earth is he from?”

Suddenly, a burst of red light shot out from the short segment of red silk cloth in Shangguan Ying’s hands. Immediately, one of the ends of the red silk cloth separated itself from Shangguan Ying’s hand. It started to grow and stretch in the air.

Then, a gentle voice shouted from afar: “Ying’er, I’m coming to pick you up! These years must have been hard for you.”

As soon as the voice faded, a white-robed young man with a silly smile appeared at the other end of the red silk cloth. Then he hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the tearful Shangguan Ying into his arms.

At the same time, the scene in the courtyard gradually disappeared. When it was completely dark, there were only two young people who hugged each other tightly.

After a moment, Shangguan Ying stopped crying and shyly struggled free from from Lyu Liang’s arms. She lowered her head without saying a word. Lyu Liang described the illusion of his own experience to Shangguan Ying in detail.

Then the two, holding hands, walked side by side towards the light not far ahead. It was the exit of the dark passage…

Outside, Lyu Liang was surprised to find that he and Shangguan Ying were the last couple to come out. The other three groups had been waiting in a square ahead. Seeing the two of them coming out, they were overjoyed.

Subsequently, Xu Mubai stood up and waved his hand at the crowd, saying loudly: “Ladies and gentlemen, there is a place over there. Let’s go over and take a break. At the same time, I will tell you all about the events that have happened. As for those who already know but can’t say, you don’t have to listen. You should think about what you’re going to achieve!”

After a short while, when the people came to a group of houses, Lyu Liang’s team followed Xu Mubai to a large house.

Surprisingly, the furnishings inside were all new and spotless! As Lyu Liang wondered, Xu Mubai sighed leisurely and bowed deeply to the crowd, whispering: “Second brother, third brother and Shangguan fairy, I, Xu Mubai, am the creator mentioned by that voice!”
