Chapter 13: Soul Checking
"This is…" Wu Xingxue took a long look inside the box, then remarked suddenly.
Yi Wusheng was stunned. "Oh, this is a Dream Bell."
In the mortal world, Dream Bells were rather common.
Before, there used to be an extremely lively market in the southwest. Every year on March 3rd, when lanterns were lit to celebrate the opening of the market, the glow of those fires would reach out for twelve kilometers, illuminating the mountain range. At first glance, it seemed that the fires of heaven had descended into the mortal world, burning for three days and three nights.
That mountain range was called the Falling Flower Tower, and that market was called the FallingFlower Mountain Market. There, all sorts of rare and odd things were sold, and that was where the Dream Bell originated as well. Then, it trended for a bit in Dream City and Lang Island. 1I should note here that when I use the word Island, please don’t mistake it with the small islands you’d see in movies and cartoons. Rather, it’s a giant piece of land that’s just simply surrounded by water. Something like Taiwan.
The only reason it was popular was because it was small and cute, and people used it for good luck. It was said that carrying it could ensure peace and chase away devils. Hanging it in the bedroom would give one a good night’s sleep and a good dream.
Later, the Falling Flower Mountain Market was gone. Falling Flower Tower became Devil’s Den Zhaoye City’s entrance; as a result, Dream Bells became less common. Legends said that they had completely disappeared from this world already, and that their only use was to put one to sleep and to make one dream.
But this one in front of them was different. The Hua Sect’s Dream Bell was not a mundane item from the mountain market, rather, it was actually a heavenly treasure.
It did have the effect of instantly immersing someone in a dream.
