Chapter 24: Who Awakens First from the Great Dream?

    

ust a real foodie."Ye Qingyun shook his head and turned back into the courtyard.While at the foot of the mountain, the master and servant were walking."Princess, why are you so polite to that man You..."Master, am I seeing things"

The old man with white hair rubbed his eyes and stared blankly at the sky.

Xiao Shi also saw the real dragon disappearing into the clouds, and now she was dumbfounded too.

Upon hearing the white-haired elder's words, Xiao Shi unconsciously rubbed her eyes.

"Master, I seem to have also gone blind."

The master and his apprentice looked at each other.

Are we all seeing things

Impossible!

The only possible explanation is that there was indeed a true dragon soaring into the clouds, seen with their own eyes.

"This dragon, could it also be related to that great master"

The white-haired old man couldn't help but think so.

Along the way, there were demons blocking the path and glimpses of true dragons.

The old man with white hair had never been this excited in his entire life.

At this very moment, he yearned even more to see the hermit atop the mountain.

The master and his apprentice continued to walk upwards.

Not long after.

He arrived at Ye Qingyun's courtyard.

In the courtyard, a rabbit is leisurely munching on a carrot.

He pretended not to see the two people who came from outside.

"This rabbit was also held in the hands of that immortal at the time."

Xiao Shi pointed at the rabbit and said.

A white-haired old man looked over the courtyard.

Although simple, it is well-arranged and serene.

...It's much stronger than that thatched hut in the valley.

“It is indeed a secluded place for a hermit, tranquil and elegant, refreshing the mind and spirit.”

The white-haired old man thought to himself inwardly.

At this time, he noticed the various plants growing in the courtyard.

“This...these are all treasures!”

The white-haired old man's expression changed drastically, his face filled with disbelief.

Xiao Shi's knowledge was limited, but he could still recognize several rare herbs. He exclaimed in astonishment one after another.

The old man with white hair didn't know where to look.

All that is within this courtyard are treasures bestowed by heaven and earth.

Some, even he had only seen in ancient texts.

The white-haired old man trembled with excitement.

"This eminent figure actually planted so many treasures of heaven and earth here, what kind of existence is he"

He wanted to move forward.

But unexpectedly, the rabbit spoke.

"My master is napping, please do not disturb."

Xiao Shi was startled.

And the old man with white hair was staring intently at the rabbit, his face showing a hint of apprehension.

Although this is not the Demon King, this rabbit's cultivation base is indeed quite high.

"I dare not disturb you, so I shall wait here for the esteemed one to awaken."

The white-haired old man bowed deeply to the rabbit.

Then he just stood there honestly.

Xiao Shi looked at her master like this, she couldn't help but be speechless.

I went to pay respects to my master at Yutian Valley before, and it was like this.

I never expected that now, both myself and the old man with white hair would be here, waiting for Ye Qingyun to wake up from his afternoon nap.

This is quite interesting.

The rabbit kept munching on the carrot and ignored the two people outside.

And at this time, Ye Qingyun was indeed taking a nap.

He ate a bit too much at noon, took a stroll in the mountains for a while, and fell asleep as soon as he got back.

The master and disciple waited for two hours.

Until the sun sets.

Ye Qingyun, who had slept soundly, only just woke up.

He rolled over in bed and sat up, feeling a wave of relief wash over him. He couldn't help but stretch languidly.

Suddenly, I remembered the story of the Three Visits to the Cottage in Romance of the Three Kingdoms and couldn't help but recite two lines of poetry.

Who will awaken first from this great dream

“I have always known this.”

"After a good sleep in the thatched cottage spring,"

The sun lingers outside the window.

Ye Qingyun originally did so on a whim, composing these two lines of poetry.

While those inside the courtyard could not hear, those outside could clearly hear everything.

The white-haired old man, upon hearing this poem, was instantly lost in thought.

Very soon.

He looked shocked.

"What a great poem! What a wonderful poem!"

Although this poem is simple and unadorned, it seems to have pierced through the profound truths of life, leaving everything else feeling insignificant!

The high person is indeed a high person.

Even a casual poem recited upon waking from a midday nap could hold such profound depths.

Xiao Shi on the side looked puzzled.

This poem does sound pretty good, but is it really as profound as Master said

"Disciple, never be disrespectful in front of a master!"

A white-haired old man instructed Xiao Shi.

"The disciple understands."

Xiao Shi promptly replied.

At this time, Ye Qingyun had already walked out.

As soon as I stepped out, I saw two people standing outside the courtyard.

A rather unusual old man with white hair.

A very elegant woman.

Among them, the woman Ye Qingyun felt a bit familiar.

"Who are you"

Ye Qingyun asked curiously.

The white-haired old man hurriedly bowed: "Old Man Shen Tianhua, having heard that a great person lived in seclusion here, came to pay respects."

"This is my old disciple Xiao Shi."

Xiao Shi was also bowing to Ye Qingyun.

"Xiao Shi bows to his seniors."

Xiao Shi

Isn't that the person who disguised themselves as a man

Ye Qingyun stared intently.

It really is her!

How did she come here

Did you also bring her master

"Um, you got the wrong person, right I'm not some senior expert or anything."

Ye Qingyun said awkwardly.

Upon hearing this, the master and apprentice immediately recalled what the dog demon king had said before.

"Almost forgot, a superior being wanting to experience the mortal world as an ordinary person shouldn't disturb their state of mind."

The white-haired elder Shen Tianhua muttered to himself and gave Xiao Shi a meaningful look.

Xiao Shi immediately understood.

"Forgive my boldness, young master."

Shen Tianhua immediately changed his expression.

Xiao Shi also said, "Young Master Ye, my master saw the stories you wrote and the paintings you drew. He was very interested in you, so I brought my master to visit you."

That reason is not bad.

Ye Qingyun immediately believed it.

"That's how it is."

Ye Qingyun nodded.

"Please come in and sit down."

"Okay, okay."

Shen Tianhua nodded repeatedly.

Two people stepped into the room, carefully walking past all kinds of natural treasures.

Walk into the room.

Shen Tianhua surprised everyone again.

Every object in the house, within sight, seemed to faintly emanate a treasure's glow.

“This whole room is filled with treasures!”

He was secretly startled.

A while, he'd look at the brush, then a while later, he'd glance at the broom leaning against the wall.

Wow!

Radiant with brilliance!

Absolutely extraordinary!

Shen Tianhua also collected some treasures.

But compared to the many treasures in this house, it's simply nothing special, not worth mentioning at all.

That's what you call a treasure.

Just take any random item, all of your junk together probably wouldn't even add up to it.

Have a seat.

Ye Qingyun gestured for the two to take their seats.

Shen Tianhua sat down, but Xiao Shi didn't dare to.

After all, Shen Tianhua is his own master.

As a disciple, how could I possibly sit on an equal footing with my master That would be a grave disrespect.

"The painting Ye Gongzi possesses is truly exquisite, a masterpiece worthy of admiration!"

As soon as Shen Tianhua sat down, he used the painting as an excuse to get closer to Ye Qingyun.

Ye Qingyun was a little embarrassed.

"It was just a quick sketch I did, nothing special. Not as good as the old man said it was."

A quick sketch

Can something as simple as a doodle contain profound meaning

If you were to seriously draw a picture

Wouldn't that allow people to have a direct awakeningm the courtyard with their younger brothers and sisters.Although Ye Qingyun said they could pick freely, the three of them didn't dare to actually pick at random.Giving upSo many treasures bestowed by...
