There was a man named Liu You in the Tang Dynasty. He was a scholar who lost his official position and went to live in seclusion in the mountains. Although his official luck was not good, his luck in love was good. As soon as he ran to the mountains, he actually found a suitable wife.

This can be regarded as giving Liu You some comfort.

But Liu You was always dissatisfied with his current situation. Sometimes he would go out to drink, leaving his wife alone on the mountain. He also went drinking on this day, and it was not until the middle of the night that he remembered to go home.

On the way, he suddenly found that the mountain road he was used to walking on suddenly became wider. Liu You was wondering, and saw a light in front of him. Liu You shook his head, sobered up, followed the light and walked over, and found that it was a Buddhist temple.

.

Liu You walked this road every day. He couldn't remember where there was a Buddhist temple. He was surprised and heard laughter inside, so he quietly walked to the inner wall of the Buddhist temple. The inner wall of the Buddhist temple was broken. There was a big hole, about a

It was the size of a human head, so Liu You stuck his head and looked inside the Buddhist temple.

The Buddhist temple was very lively. More than a dozen people, men, women, old and young, gathered around a table, laughing and feasting. There was no monk at all. What was even more bizarre was that the woman sitting in the middle of the banquet was actually his wife.

Liu You was very puzzled and wanted to go in to see what was going on, but found that the door was locked. So Liu You stuck his head in through the opening and shouted his wife's name, but his wife didn't agree. Liu You became anxious and did it.

He picked up a tile on the ground and threw it in. The tile hit everyone's dining table. Only a bang was heard. The candles in the room went out and everything was dark. Liu You moved forward and couldn't touch the wall. Wait.

His eyes adapted to the darkness. There were no temples or barren mountains around, but he was on his way home.

This made Liu You feel even more incredible. He was so frightened that he woke up from drinking. He hurried home and saw his wife sitting at home. Seeing that she was not sleeping, Liu You asked her why you were still up so late. Who knew?

What his wife said surprised him even more. It turned out that Liu You's wife had been sleeping just now and had a dream. She dreamed that she was eating, talking and laughing with a group of unknown men and women in a Buddhist temple. Suddenly there was a

She woke up from her dream when tiles flew from outside.

Of course Liu You felt something strange, but he was still a little scared, so he decided not to drink. After three or five days, the relationship between Liu You and his wife became better, but Liu You thought about the strange things he encountered in the temple that day every day.

I can't be completely happy either.

That night, Liu You was sitting at the dinner table, surrounded by bright lights. Everyone at the dinner table called him Mr. Liu, and he was very proud. But when he was about to drink the third glass of wine offered to him by the woman in Tsing Yi next to him, he suddenly stopped.

Come down. Because Liu You suddenly realized that although he had been eating and drinking here for a while, he could not remember exactly how he got here. He only remembered that he was sleeping in bed. Liu You looked around again.

Looking around, I realized that this place turned out to be a Buddhist temple, and it looked very familiar. There was a big hole in the wall, and the tiles I threw in that day were still lying on the ground. Isn't it the same Buddhist temple where I found my wife last time?

?These clues together taught Liu You to recall that he was actually dreaming, and he was dreaming the same dream as his wife that day.

Liu You put down the wine glass and muttered: "Drink whatever you want, Mr. Liu, if you drink it, it will be in vain. You are just dreaming."

After Liu You finished speaking, he realized that everyone at the banquet was looking at him with surprise. But as soon as he turned around, everyone at the banquet disappeared, leaving only the woman in green next to him.

The woman in green looked at Liu You, smiled slightly, put down the wine glass, and said: "You are also smart, and you guessed that this was a dream. Now that you know, do you want to wake up?"

Liu You shook his head and said that he was not in a hurry to wake up and wanted to understand why he and his wife both had this dream.

The woman started laughing, stood up and explained to Liu You that she was actually a person who could turn nightmares into good dreams. That day, Liu You's wife was lonely because she had been alone in the empty house for so long, so she was supposed to have sex with Liu You.

The nightmare of separation and life and death ended up being turned into a good dream by the woman, where she drank and talked and laughed. Today, Liu You was afraid of what happened that night and had a nightmare. The woman repeated her old tricks, deliberately trying to make Liu You wake up.

The woman said that the world is full of hardships, and sleeping is the most relaxing time of the day. But if you sigh while sleeping and dreaming, then life will be less fun. After saying these truths, the woman taught Liu You a lesson,

He said that he was so blessed that he did not know how to cherish his good wife, but instead went out and drank alone every day, which made his wife sad every night and even started to have nightmares. Liu You could only listen and how could he dare to talk back.

Not only did he listen, Liu You could only thank the woman. The woman didn't want his thanks. She just left a sentence and then disappeared. This sentence was:

Clear dreams and resolve worries, and pick up all the big locust branches.

Liu You woke up after the woman disappeared. It was already dawn. Liu You saw his wife in a daze in the courtyard. When he went over to ask, he realized that there were many branches in front of the house today. Liu You saw that the branches were from Sophora japonica.

Tree branches, Liu You saw branches lined up on the road one by one, as if guiding him in a certain direction.

Liu You remembered what the woman in the dream had said to him, and quickly bent down and started picking up branches. As he picked them up, he came to a place in the mountains that he had never seen before. There were no branches left, only a huge locust tree.

, there is a small hole in the locust tree, which seems to be hollow. There is a groove on the trunk, and there is actually a shrine on it. Inside the shrine is a Buddha statue. When Liu You took a closer look, he saw that it looked exactly like the Buddha statue in the temple in his dream.

.

Liu You felt strange and picked up the Buddha statue out of curiosity. Unexpectedly, at that moment, a hole opened in the locust tree and something ran out. The thing circled around Liu You, nodded, and ran away quickly.

Already.

What does this thing look like? It has the body of a bear, the trunk of an elephant, the tail of an ox, and the legs of a tiger. Before Liu You could react, the monster had disappeared from his eyes. The monster ran away, and Liu You held his hand

The Buddha statue inside also disappeared.

What exactly was this thing? It wasn’t until Liu You came to read a book later that he found out that it was called the dream-eating tapir, and it specialized in eating human nightmares. Liu You had such a strange experience, so his life was not in vain.
