Wei Lai slowly woke up from his drowsiness, and the first thing he saw was Xu Yue sitting on a wooden table not far away with his back to him, looking at the back of a book.

Wei Lai's mind was still a little trance, and he sat up with his body propped up.

"Are you awake?" Xu Yue's voice sounded, his tone was still so cold, and he didn't even turn his back to him.

"Hmm. Wei Lai nodded, got up and got out of bed.

He walked to Xu Yue's side, sat down casually, reached out and poured himself a cup of tea, and asked, "How long have I been sleeping?"

Xu Yue still looked down at the book in her hand, the candle in the room reflected her side face, she frowned slightly, but her expression was focused, as if she was confused by the content of the book.

"Half a day. She replied like this, then closed the book and looked sideways at Wei Lai: "Are you hungry?" I asked Senior Sister Xing Yu to order the kitchen to get you some food?"

As he spoke, Xu Yue was about to get up, but Wei Lai stretched out his hand at this time and grabbed the back of Xu Yue's white hand.

Xu Yue never thought that Wei Lai would make such a frivolous move, her face changed, and she almost subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, but the force in Wei Lai's hand was extremely strong, and she couldn't break free for a while.

"Don't bother, I'm not hungry yet. Wei Lai's voice sounded at this moment, and after saying this, he let go of Xu Yue's hand.

Xu Yue came back to her senses, she glanced at Wei Lai, and said unhappily: "His Royal Highness King Wei, although Xu Yue has stayed in the Dust Cutting Palace since he was a child, he also understands the truth that this man and woman do not kiss, please don't do this kind of behavior in the future, otherwise..."

"Otherwise, if there is a situation like this in the future, you won't come to my rescue again?" Wei Lai interrupted Xu Yue's words with a raised eyebrow.

Xu Yue was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "My Excellency saw that the previous actions of the pavilion were not out of his own intentions, so ..."

"So, it's out of the girl's heart that you don't want me to die, right?" Wei Lai asked again with a smile.

Xu Yue's face was a little ugly, and he wanted to say something more.

But at this time, Wei Lai's eyes suddenly turned and fell on the ancient book in Xu Yue's hand.

That book was not a side, but the codex left by his father that Wei Lai had been carrying with him - "Thoughts on Cutting the Dust"

Wei Lai raised his eyebrows and asked, "The girl is also starting to be interested in it?"

Seeing that Wei Lai was no longer entangled in that topic, Xu Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.

She sorted out her thoughts and responded: "King Wei Lingzun..."

As soon as these words came out, Wei Lai's voice sounded again.

"It seems that the girl is beginning to believe me, and this is a good start. ”

Xu Yue's brows furrowed a little deeper at that time, and she said with a straight face: "I vaguely heard the quarrel between His Royal Highness King Wei and Zhao Gongzi in the next wing room before, it seems to be about a girl named Lu Yan'er. ”

"I inquired about Lu Yan'er with Sun Daren, and probably understood the whole story, so I wanted to see in this codex left by Ling Zun whether His Royal Highness King Wei's inner demons were related to this matter. ”

"Doing this has nothing to do with the private relationship between men and women, and I ask Your Highness not to think about it. ”

Xu Yue's words were extremely polite, but with a touch of determination.

Wei Lai didn't care when he heard this, and said with a smile: "The girl said that there is no personal relationship between men and women, so why don't you see that the girl cares so much about that Zhou Gongzi?"

Xu Yue naturally understood the sound of Wei Lai's words, she was silent for a while when she heard the words, looked down at the codex, and then looked at Wei Lai, and then said: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei is right, Xu Yue's practice of cutting dust should be distracted, just like the way of heaven, ruthless to all things, and treat everyone equally." But since I met His Royal Highness the King of Wei..."

Speaking of this, Xu Yue paused, glanced at Wei Lai deeply, and said: "Xu Yue can't help but spend more thoughts on His Highness. ”

"Huh?" Wei Lai, who originally just wanted to tease Xu Yue, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Xu Yue's response so calmly, and it took a while before he came back to his senses, looked at Xu Yue and asked, "So the girl finally believed what she said before?"

Wei Lai asked such a question, and looked at Xu Yue's eyes with some expectation.

This trip to Da Chu was not pleasant for Wei Lai after all, he saw the girl in his dream, and he also came to the Boundless Academy where Lu Yan'er should have existed.

But the former did not remember his existence at all, and the latter ...... It disappeared without a trace. Even some traces of her existence have been altered by a powerful force in the underworld.

She is clearly Lu Guanshan's daughter, and she grew up with Wei Lai's childhood sweetheart, but in the blink of an eye, in other people's memories, these things have become Zhao Tianyan's experience. He became Lu Guanshan's adopted son and got along with Wei Lai day and night, while the so-called Lu Yan'er was forgotten by everyone.

Wei Lai is naturally difficult to accept such a change, but if Xu Yue can remember a little about the things between them, this will undoubtedly make Wei Lai feel better, and it will also make Wei Lai have a little more confidence and motivation for this illusory thing.

After all, Wei Lai was just a mortal, and when he was in Wupan City, he could endure the humiliation and bow to the enemy who killed his father so much

years, because the method of swallowing the dragon of the dove snake gave him some hope for revenge, even if this hope is very slim, but it is something that exists after all.

And everything he was facing in front of him was so confusing, it was difficult to find the roots, even with Wei Lai's heart, he was inevitably a little discouraged.

Thinking of this, Wei looked at Xu Yue's gaze and naturally became more and more hot.

Xu Yue naturally couldn't clear Wei Lai's thoughts, she was just silent alone for a while, and then responded: "Although I don't want to admit it, but according to what His Royal Highness King Wei said before, you and I may have really known each other before. ”

Of course, Wei Lai was looking forward to Xu Yue's answer, but when such an answer really came out of Xu Yue's mouth, Wei Lai couldn't help but be stunned, after all, when everything you have been looking forward to for a long time comes too suddenly and easily, anyone will not help but have a sense of unreality as if they are in a dream at that time.

Wei Lai is naturally unavoidable.

But before he could come back to his senses, Xu Yue's voice changed again.

"If my calculation is correct, it is very likely that His Royal Highness King Wei's inner demons were born because of me. ”

Wei Lai frowned, since he woke up, Xu Yue repeatedly mentioned the word demon, but he didn't care about it before, and when he heard this phrase from Xu Yue's mouth again, he couldn't help but realize the strangeness in it, and couldn't help asking, "What kind of demon?"

"His Royal Highness King Wei hasn't realized it yet, has he?" Xu Yue was not the slightest surprise at Wei Lai's question, she said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei almost killed Zhao Tianyan before, and the root cause of this was the demonic work of His Royal Highness the King of Wei. ”

Wei Lai's brows furrowed a little deeper, he calmly recalled his strange state at that time, even if he knew about it with his heart, he would not be angry with Zhao Tianyan for this, but at that time he was indeed a little angry, and his heart was really murderous towards Zhao Tianyan.

He couldn't help but feel shocked in his heart, and said secretly: Could it be that I really have a demon?

"I have calculated through the codex left by His Royal Highness Lingzun, and there are probably some conjectures, and the King of Wei is willing to listen to it. Xu Yue said at that time.

At this moment, Wei Lai's mind was disordered, he raised his eyes to look at Xu Yue and nodded silently, Xu Yue was agreed, and said in a deep voice: "What King Wei said before, I mean that if everything about us is true, it is very likely that there was a mistake in the process of my method of cutting dust, which made His Royal Highness King Wei still retain some memories that are thin with me, or cause and effect." ”

It is precisely because of this thin existence of cause and effect that King Wei feels melancholy, but it is difficult to find the roots. ”

So he thought about it day and night, couldn't get the gist, and even began to be suspicious, wondering if his memory had deviated, and doubting whether he had forgotten more people. ”

Wei Lai, who thought that Xu Yue would say something tirade or shocking words, couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head when he heard this, he said: "Miss Xu Yue's inference is too hasty, how can the girl prove that those memories are not real, but my inner demons? Just like the girl thought that the words I said to you were all made up by me at the beginning, but it turns out that you and I do know each other. ”

Xu Yue sank his brows, sorted out his thoughts before he said: "Your Highness's acquaintance with me is indeed well founded, such as...... For example......

Speaking of this, Xu Yue's face flushed slightly, and his tone became a little choppy, and after a while, he said: "For example, that dream is the proof......

Wei Lai raised his eyebrows when he heard this, seemed to realize something, and asked, "The girl also had the same dream?"

Xu Yue's face became more and more flushed, and she nodded lightly: "I did it a few days ago......"

Of course, Wei Lai knew that the scene in the dream was beautiful, and he couldn't say that Xu Yue was a woman, even if he was inevitably a little ashamed to say it. At this moment, Wei Lai had no intention of laughing at Xu Yue, and in order to alleviate Xu Yue's embarrassment, he continued to ask: "But has the girl ever thought that if you and I have never met and experienced all these days, the girl may never realize this, in this case, how can the girl prove that there is no evidence of Lu Yan'er's existence now, and it will not appear in the future?"

"This is different!" Xu Yue said firmly.

"I practice the method of cutting dust, and after cutting off cause and effect, neither Your Highness nor others will have any more memories of me. Although there was a mistake in the method of cutting the dust, leaving a flaw and making His Highness aware of my existence, does Your Highness have any memory of me except for that dream?

"But what about that Lu Yan'er?"

"Your Highness has talked about her, and she has all kinds of treasures in the past, but others don't know anything, hasn't Your Highness realized the difference?"

Wei Lai frowned, looked at Xu Yue and asked, "What's the difference?"

"I was caused by the method of cutting off the dust to split the cause and effect, and what about that Lu Yan'er? If she really exists, how can she only be remembered by His Highness, but at the same time forgotten by everyone other than His Highness?"

"The method of slashing dust can split cause and effect, but cause and effect are two-way, for example, the connection between you and me is severed, I forget Your Highness, and Your Highness's memories of me will be transferred to others in various ways

。 It was neutralized or forgotten, but it was never possible, everyone else forgot all this, but His Highness remembered it really. Xu Yue said, handing the book "Thoughts on Cutting the Dust" to Wei Lai.

He also said: "Your Highness can not believe my words, but I don't think His Highness will doubt the content of the codex left by Mr. Wei, right?"

Wei Lai looked at Xu Yue with a solemn expression, his eyes slowly fell on the codex from her body, he didn't need to look at the content of the codex, he knew what was written on it, after all, after he realized that his cause and effect might have been tampered with, he had already read the content of the book no less than five times, and Wei Shou did leave a similar theory.

Cause and effect are cut off, except for disciples who practice the law of cause and effect like the Dust Cutting Palace, mortal cause and effect will be forcibly linked to people who have also been cut off by the power of the Heavenly Dao, and how to form a false, but difficult to perceive memory for the person concerned, in order to cover up the fact that someone has been erased from this world.

Just like Xu Yue said, if Lu Yan'er also practiced the method of cutting dust, or was used a method similar to the method of cutting dust, then everyone should forget her. Even if something goes wrong, then Wei Lai should treat Xu Yue like he did with Xu Yue, he can only keep a few vague thoughts, and he can't remember everything about her so clearly as he does now.

Wei Lai understood very well that what Xu Yue said was very reasonable, so reasonable that it was difficult to find a rebuttal even with his clever tongue for a while.

But people are a complex product of the interweaving of reason and sensibility, and it is difficult for Wei Lai to convince himself to fully believe Xu Yue's set of statements, let alone be sure that the girl who really exists in his memory is just his own imagination.

He lowered his head, frowned, and remained silent.

And Xu Yue had expected such a reaction from him, she gently sat down beside Wei Lai, and said softly at that time: "I have heard Shizun say that the method of cutting dust originates from the ancient times, and is not unique to the Dust Cutting Palace. ”

"There were monks who were proficient in this method, but they did not want to use it to explore the path, but to satisfy their selfish desires and bring harm to the world. What they do is they use cause and effect to change people's perceptions, for example, if a person is loyal to a certain person, they will strip the cause and effect between the two of them, make the two strangers, and at the same time link this cause and effect to a helper they need, and then connect with themselves, and in this way, they will unknowingly control that person's mind and make him their slave. ”

Hearing this, Wei Lai's heart jumped, and he couldn't help but think of the Great Yan Empress Jin Yun'er he had encountered, the two methods were the same, and it was even very likely that they came from the same sect.

"And if my expectation is right, it must be that I made a mistake when I performed the method of cutting the dust, and the cause and effect between His Highness and me were not all cut off, or after the cut, the residual cause and effect of His Highness was due to some unknown reasons, and there was no new cause and effect link with the same broken cause and effect, and His Highness himself was uneasy, so he imagined the existence of Lu Yan'er. ”

"......" When Wei Lai heard this, he was silent again, and the expression on his face was gloomy.

Although he didn't want to admit that all this was his inner demons, at the same time, he couldn't explain why he suddenly lost control at that time and had murderous intentions towards Zhao Tianyan.

Could it be that I really have a demon in my heart?

Such a thought inevitably appeared in Wei Lai's mind, and the confusion between his eyebrows became more and more intense.

Xu Yue saw this situation in her eyes, of course she understood that it was very difficult for people to realize that she had paranoia, she was not anxious, but said softly at that time: "Your Highness doesn't need to rush to make a conclusion for yourself, didn't Your Highness say that Lu Yan'er in your memory followed that Zhao Tianyan to practice in the Boundless Academy?"

"In the next few days, I will accompany His Highness to walk in the Boundless Academy, and I will try my best to help His Highness get as much convenience as possible, if my inferences are all wrong, just like His Highness's dream, there will always be some clues, right?"

Wei Lai, who was still secretly distressed about this, heard this and nodded, indeed for him now, if he hadn't gone to Boundless Academy to see it with his own eyes, then he would never be able to give up, thinking of this, he turned his head and glanced at Xu Yue gratefully and said, "So, thank you girl." ”

"But Your Highness must also grant me one thing. Xu Yue said again.

"Girl, please speak. Wei Lai Zhengse.

"If this trip proves that my guess is correct, Your Highness will have to cooperate with me and let me eliminate the demons in your Highness's heart. Xu Yue said.

Wei Lai's face was strange, and after a dream, this Xu Yue changed his temperament, and was ready to break off with Guiyuan Palace and return to Ningzhou with him?

Although the matter of demons in his heart made Wei Lai very distressed, Xu Yue's change was also great news for Wei Lai. Thinking like this, a slight smile finally spread on his face, and his mind was no longer as gloomy as before.

But at this moment, Xu Yue's voice sounded again.

"Your Highness's inner demon was born from me, and it is Xu Yue's karma. ”

"Xu Yue will be responsible to the end. ”

"But after that, please also ask Your Highness to let Xu Yue go and stop doing senseless entanglement. ”

"The avenue is in front, the red dust should be cut, Xu Yue's heart to the Tao has been born, and I ask His Royal Highness to fulfill it. ”
