Chapter 15: The Heavenly Machine is About to be Fulfilled

  The heavenly machine is about to materialize

  That monk was very powerful, and it's said that when he entered the imperial palace, everyone had to make way for him. When he treated my illness, he also dismissed all the attendants, leaving only the Emperor, Empress, and Imperial Concubine by his side in my Blue Dream Palace. Not long after he started treating me, a faint blue light emanated from him, illuminating the entire palace. Soon after that, I woke up. From then on, the old emperor and the others became even more convinced that I was their savior.

  Actually, when I was drowsy, I just felt very tired, so tired that my eyes couldn't open, and my brain kept telling me to sleep. In the five days of my drowsiness, all I knew was that I was in a dark place. But before long, a knocking sound woke me up, at which point I really wanted to hit someone - didn't the person making the noise know that disturbing others' sleep is extremely impolite?

  When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a forest, and it was daytime. The forest was quiet to the point of being terrifying. Weren't there supposed to be birds chirping or something? But here, it was so quiet that it was scary: "Where am I? Is anyone here?" I couldn't help but shout out loud, "Is anyone here?..." No one responded after shouting for half a day, and I continued to wander around the forest. However, I felt like I had been there before, with a very familiar feeling. Not long after, I heard the sound of water, ran over to take a look, and indeed, there was water - it was even a waterfall! Below it, a fairly large lake had already formed. As I was still admiring the serene beauty of the lake, four strange beasts appeared behind me, and I didn't realize that I was in danger until they let out a low growl from behind me. I turned around, not looking would be not afraid, one look - oh my god!

  "Ah," a blue two-horned dragon, a fire-spewing qilin, a pure white tiger, and a golden phoenix.

  "There are monsters, don't come over!" Oh mom, such a huge monster, I've only seen these mythical creatures in books before, and now they're all appearing in front of me, so real that my heart is terrified to the extreme. "Don't come over!" I kept backing away, afraid that if one of them pounced on me, they would tear me to shreds. But I forgot that behind me was a bottomless lake, and with one misstep, I fell into it. All I felt was my body continuously falling downwards, but the lake wasn't dark and invisible - instead, it was a deep blue, and I could see everything: water grass, fish... they all floated towards me, surrounding me. I felt like they were trying to tell me something, but I was suffocating, my hands frantically waving around, my heart screaming for help. Later, the sound of the wooden fish next to my ear became clearer and clearer, and before I could think more, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of me, and all I could do was shout for help.

  "Fei Xue, wake up, Fei Xue." Someone was calling me Fei Xue. "Fei Xue" could be either male or female, I opened my eyes to find myself in my own bedroom, with the Emperor and Empress by my side. I hastily hugged the old Emperor: "Uncle Emperor, there's a monster, a monster...I almost died..." The Emperor's words were incomprehensible to me, but I knew I was scared, he held me tight and kept saying: "There's no monster, it's all safe now, don't be afraid..." Then came the sound of a wooden fish again, I was curious "Uncle, did you hear the sound of the wooden fish?" "The sound of the wooden fish?" He said, then saw a monk in the front hall, indeed, it was a monk striking the wooden fish, with his back to me. Was he the one who struck the wooden fish earlier? I forgot it was still winter, forgot I only wore my nightgown, forgot I wasn't wearing shoes, barefooted I walked up to the old monk...
