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 Zhouâs Butterfly Dream Technique wouldnât exist. It was unknown if Zhuang Zhou had become a butterfly or if the butterfly had become Zhuang Zhou in the dream.
If oneâs mental strength was insufficient, and they recklessly used the Zhuang Zhou Butterfly Dream Technique, the only result would be a state of confusion and madness.
But I have the Visualization of the Five Mountainsâ True Form that can suppress oneâs consciousness. I wonât lose my mind so easily. Itâs a perfect match for Zhuang Zhouâs Butterfly Dream Technique, Zhou Shu thought.
I wonder how far my Zhuang Zhou Butterfly Dream Technique can trace back.
Suddenly, Shi Songtao walked past him.
âOld Shi!â 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. âOld Shiâ means teacher in a similar intonation). This gave him a strange feeling. Can I be his teacher?
âIs there something wrong?â Shi Songtao asked.
âLend me a strand of hair!â
Without waiting for Shi Songtao to refuse, Zhou Shuâs hand moved like lightning. He quickly pulled a strand of hair from Shi Songtaoâs 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 Songtaoâs 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 Songtaoâs hair, Zhou Shu awkwardly lay down on the bed.
The thought of sleeping with a manâs 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 Butterfly Dream Technique.
Fingernails, blood, even bodily fluidsâ¦
They could all be used as a medium.
In comparison, his hair seemed more acceptable.
Zhou Shu first visualized the Five Mountainsâ 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 Butterfly Dream Technique.
A faint white light began to emanate from his body as Shi Songtaoâs hair suddenly began to burn. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a streak of white light that dissipated between Zhou Shuâs eyebrows.
A strange power seemed to envelop Zhou Shuâs 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 didnât disappear. On the contrary, as he breathed, the white light flickered, making the scene appear exceptionally magical.
After Zhou Shu used the Zhuang Zhou Butterfly 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 snowâ¦
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 bodyâs 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.
Damn it. Shi Songtao looks so pretentious, but heâs 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 Mountainsâ 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 Songtaoâs thoughts and actions seemed to come from him.
Shi Songtaoâs life was very regular. Every day, he would study the art of forging on time and forge on time.
In his dream, Zhou Shu didnât feel that he was watching another personâs life. He truly felt that he had become Shi Songtao!
Under these circumstances, he naturally wouldnât feel that Shi Songtao and his concubineâs activities were dirty.
Day after day, Zhou Shuâs self-awareness grew fainter and fainter, as if he had truly become Shi Songtao.
After an unknown period of time, Zhou Shuâs 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 Mountainsâ True Form!
Zhou Shu used a sliver of clarity to visualize the Five Mountainsâ 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 Mountainsâ True Form, he might really have suffered from schizophrenia.
Zhou Shu felt terrified just thinking about it. If his mental strength wasnât enough, and he recklessly used the Zhuang Zhou Butterfly 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 havenât completely mastered his forging skills and Martial Dao.
He carefully analyzed his gains this time.
In reality, he had experienced one year of Song Shitaoâs life.
Putting aside the trivial matters of his life this year, at most, it would be a wet dream. Zhou Shu wouldnât develop any feelings for Shi Songtaoâs concubines just because of this.
Shi Songtao himself might not have any feelingsâ¦
What Zhou Shu was concerned about was the knowledge he had obtained from his dream. He also discovered that he didnât grasp all of Shi Songtaoâs 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 wouldnât 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, wouldnât 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 Butterfly Dream Technique is abnormal.
Zhou Shu was extremely shocked. This Zhuang Zhou Butterfly Dream Technique was as abnormal as he had imagined.
Shi Songtao wonât 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 Butterfly Dream Technique was about.
If I can get Shen Yueâs hair, nails, blood, and so on, then wonât I be able to know the secret of his and Xiao Shunzhiâs resurrection?
If I obtain the medium of the higher-ups of Great Qin, there wonât be any secrets to the setup of the nine checkpoints.
Zhou Shuâs eyes lit up. This was a good idea!
