Before Bai Ming could untangle the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Bai Qi, sitting by the door, seemed to hear something and turned his head:
"Awake?"
Bai Ming paused for a moment, was Ah Brother waiting for me to come back?
"While I was practicing standing meditation, I vaguely heard you calling my name. I thought you were restless in your sleep, talking in your dreams."
Bai Qi didn't seem surprised or shocked. In the page of the Mountain-Rushing Secret Technique he had, it mentioned similar strange occurrences of wandering souls.
There was a young man who rushed the mountains for the first time, received a packet of red paper incense, and ended up dreaming of himself appearing miles away, chased by a tiger.
The next morning, he told everyone about it vividly, and the mountain folk thought he was exaggerating, but soon after, neighboring villages reported that mountain beasts had indeed come out to attack cattle and sheep.
