"There have long been rumors in the world that once the evil spirits in the Great Sin Realm are cast into the Great Sin Spirits, they can open the Divine Gate, and even condense a complete divine pattern and summon the Pattern Spirit. ”

"The one with the divine tattoo, the manifestation of the Tao, the one with the tattoo, the embodiment of the Tao. ”

"Heaven and earth are born with spirits to be able to be created, such as sword spirits, sword souls, and those who become their spirits after tomorrow, it is difficult to have such an opportunity. ”

Therefore, the spirit of the evil spirit should be an innate spirit, and its method is quite similar to the method of restraining the spirit and sending the ghost, and the evil spirit called has no substance, but can be resurrected from the dead. ”

Therefore, it is bold to speculate that the so-called great evil realm is actually the same as the method of ghost cultivation. ”

"When future generations look at what I said, they will probably think that the author is bold and arrogant and slanders the Divine Sect. ”

"But you can observe the "Great Chu Zhi", which records that the Great Chu was established for 73 years, and there were ghost cultivators in southern Xinjiang who invaded my northern border, and among the many ghost cultivators, there was a number one of the people of the Great Sage of Huangquan, who cultivated to be strong, and could make thousands of Yin soldiers, among which there were those who could transform the divine pattern. This person alone has slaughtered seven divine sects in the northern realm, and all the yin souls he passed through have been refined into nourishment or yin soldiers. Later, he was slaughtered by the elders of the Tianque Realm, and after about sixty years, the Great Sin Realm Exercises were born. ”

"There are shallow records of the ghost path exercises practiced in the Huangquan Great Holy Temple, but if you look closely at the records in it, it is not difficult to find that there are many similarities between the methods used to perform them and the Great Sin Realm. ”

"Besides, half of the so-called ghost cultivation methods have the epitome of the method of detaining spirits and sending ghosts. However, the northern realm lists the way of ghost cultivation as the outer way of evil demons, but the author thinks that the distinction between good and evil in the northern realm of magic comes from the Tianque realm and the Great Chu court, and in the method of ghost cultivation, there are also methods such as super-undead and yin soul gathering, and there are more holy places in southern Xinjiang to gather dead souls for them to live and sleep, and it is inappropriate to attribute all ghost cultivation to the evil demon outer way. ”

"Besides, the Tianque Realm guards and steals themselves, and all these things may have other hidden secrets, or the author's false words, all of which are still unknown. ”

......

Wei Lai, who sent Jiang Huanshui away, had no intention of sleeping, he returned to the study and looked through those ancient books about the method of detaining spirits and sending ghosts again.

One of the books that interested him the most was the book called "Imagination of the Great Evil Realm and the Transformation of Spirits and Ghosts", which was different from many other books, the content of the book was copied, and the words and sentences in the book were relatively arbitrary, like notes and thoughts were better than writing books. And the things said in the book are even more daring, Wei Lai can hardly imagine that if the things said in this book are circulated in the world, then the author is afraid that he will be pursued by the Tianque Realm and the Great Chu, and it is needless to say how miserable the end will be.

Wei Lai thought about this, and secretly wondered how his father found such a "forbidden book" back then. He secretly flipped the pages of the book to see who was sacred to the man who could write such nonsense. But I saw that on the title page of the book, under the title of the book, there was a line of small characters - Wei Shou.

Wei Lai's eyes froze, and then a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, it seemed that only his unobtrusive father could write such a thing.

Wei Lai's hand holding the book was slightly forced, and the candle flame in his eyes flickered, as if he had traveled through a thick time to a late night many years ago, when he caught a glimpse of a reader, using the candle flame, to write the desk, and then he frowned, sometimes smiling......

It seems that you can still feel the temperature outlined by the readers back then.

Wei Lai suddenly thought, maybe there could be other codex left by the other reader in this full study.

With such thoughts, he could no longer hold back, looked sideways into the room, and began to rummage.

"Southern Xinjiang Miscellaneous Records", "Teacher's Words", "Annotations on the Book of Rites", "Thoughts on Cutting the Dust", ......

Many of the codexes left by the scholar were found by Wei Lai from the stacks of books, and soon a thick stack was piled up on the desk.

......

The next day it was overcast.

Hu Le woke up from the coma, he looked at the unfamiliar furnishings around him, his heart was in a daze, but he heard a deafening snoring sound beside him, he looked for the sound, but saw a young man with big shoulders and a round waist was sitting at the wooden table not far away, supporting his cheeks with his hands, and he couldn't stop snoring.

Hu Le felt that the other party was a little familiar, frowned and thought for a while, and before he could clear his thoughts, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the house.

"Hey, it's time to eat!" said the man outside the door, and his tone was rather impatient.

Sun Daren woke up from the boundless spring dream, he reached out and wiped the water stains at the corner of his mouth, and was about to respond to the person outside the door, but he inadvertently turned his head to meet the gaze of Hu Le, who sat up from the bed.

After a not too troublesome explanation, Hu Le probably understood what happened after he fell into a coma yesterday, Hu Le also remembered Sun Daren and others, after everyone had breakfast, Hu Le, who was bent on going home to report safety to his mother-in-law, also said goodbye to everyone regardless of everyone's retention, of course, in this process, this guy thanked Sun Daren and others more than once, which made Sun Daren and others a little embarrassed.

After Hu Le left, Wei came to see Sun Daren and the others, and everyone secretly thought that Wei Lai was still angry about the fact that they invited Jiang Huanshui into the mansion yesterday, and they subconsciously lowered their heads one by one, not daring to look directly at Wei Lai's gaze.

"Where did you go yesterday?" Just when everyone was secretly feeling uncomfortable, Wei Lai's voice suddenly sounded.

Sun Daren hurriedly raised his head and said, "Yesterday, Long Xiu heard that there was a blacksmith shop in the west of the city, and the blacksmith was very skilled, so he wanted him to try if he could take care of her embroidered sword for use by the Hanxing Conference. ”

Wei Lai nodded secretly when he heard this, Long Xiu can be said to be the person who knows what he wants the most among Sun Daren, and his cultivation is not enough, so he wants to rely on the Tiangang Divine Sword, although there is a taste of rushing to the doctor, but it is better than being like Sun Daren and Liu Qingyan who have nothing to do all day.

"Then have you found the method?" Wei Lai asked again.

The blacksmith was helpless, it seemed that the rust on the dragon embroidered sword was extremely troublesome, and it could not be solved by ordinary means. Sun Daren shook his head with some distress.

"Hmm. Wei Lai nodded noncommittally, his expression calm.

Seeing this, Sun Daren's heart became more and more empty, he gritted his teeth, and was about to say something more, thinking that he would justify everything that happened yesterday, but before he could say anything, Wei Lai's voice sounded again.

"Since there is no way, then come with me today. ”

"Hmm, where are you going?" asked Sun Daren suspiciously, and Long Xiu and Liu Qingyan also gave Wei Lai inquiring glances at the same time.

Wei Lai glanced at the three of them, smiled faintly, and only spit out two words: "Practice." ”

......

In front of the Hakuba Academy.

Xu Yue looked at Wei Lai beside him, with a somewhat strange expression: "So, what about the dowry?"

Wei Lai shook his head solemnly: "I didn't prepare a dowry. ”

Xu Yunian, who stretched out his hand to support his sister's wheelchair, frowned, and secretly thought about what happened to the last guy who disobeyed his sister's will. Looking at the entire Ning Xiao City, even the demon in Ning Chuan had to bow his head in front of his sister, but this guy in front of him did not have the slightest consciousness in this regard. If you don't realize it, if you really don't like his sister, then say bluntly, although his sister is sometimes overbearing, but it is far from being unkind, at least she will not really do anything to Wei Lai because of this.

But this guy is good, he brought his "wives" to Xu's mansion early this morning, and first asked Xu Yue as a guarantor to send the two women to the Hanxing Conference, and at the same time corrected his previous words and deeds that the two were his wives. That's fine, and then let Xu Yue lead them to the White Dragon Academy. As the most important industry of the Xu family in this Ningxiao City, the White Dragon Academy is famous, although it is not a sect such as Wuya Academy or Qingying Academy, it is just a place for most people to enlighten and practice, but it is equipped with teachings, pills, or various tools required for cultivation are all the best of the best, at least the entire Dayan, except for Tailin City at the foot of the Son of Heaven, it is difficult for you to find a place like the White Horse Academy.

Of course, because of the extraordinaryness of the White Horse Academy, it is not easy for ordinary people to enter the White Horse Academy.

In addition to the requirement for students to cultivate talents, the biggest obstacle is still a lot of academic qualifications even for large families.

And even if you enter the White Horse Academy, not all the tools required for cultivation in the academy are open to students, and the 369 and so on still require different amounts of learning materials to be divided. And relying on Xu Yue's face, Sun Daren and the three of them directly made an exception and entered the highest-level class of the White Horse Academy, such a sum of money is really enough to make people lose their big teeth. And Wei Lai relied on Xu Yue to get rid of these qualifications, but after everything was done, Wei Lai said that he did not prepare a dowry, isn't this just saying that he is using Xu Yue, and then abandoning it from beginning to end?

Xu Yunian secretly thought, this guy is bold, I am afraid that he will have to be cooked by Xu Yue in the future, thinking of this, he is secretly proud, and he said in his heart that day in front of the Han Star List, the revenge of the embarrassed defeat will finally be avenged today.

"I'll do it. Xu Yunian, who was waiting to see Wei Lai being cleaned up by Xu Yue, suddenly heard Wei Lai say this, and then reached out to support the back of Xu Yue's wheelchair and squeezed Xu Yunian to the side.

"I'll walk with Sister Xu. Xu Yunian was about to get angry, but Wei Lai said again. Looking at the self-caring posture, it seems that there is no intention of Xu Yunian's consent.

"You!" Xu Yunian stretched out his hand and pointed at Wei Lai, about to say something.

"Good. But before the words came out, my sister's voice sounded at that time: "Yu Nian, you go back first, there is Gongzi Wei here." ”

Xu Yunian's words came to his mouth after all, and he was puzzled in his heart that his sister was still calm at this time, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he could only glared at Wei Lai resentfully, and walked away.

......

"You don't choose the Xu family. Then do you choose the Xiao family or the Ning family?"

Pushing Xu Yue to walk on the crowded Zhengyang Street, most of the people around him will subconsciously cast their eyes on the two, whether it is the eldest lady of the Xu family, or Wei Lai, the grandson of the state pastor who has gradually gained some reputation in Ningxiao City, it is enough to attract the attention of these ordinary people. But fortunately, both of them seem to have become accustomed to this encounter, and do not pay attention to those eyes that are either overtly or implicitly invested in them.

"Why do you have to choose?" Wei Lai frowned at Xu Yue's question and asked rhetorically.

Xu Yue probably didn't expect Wei Lai to ask such a question, the girl was stunned for a moment, and then pursed her lips and smiled.

"All these years have passed, and you still haven't changed. ”

Wei Lai was also stunned when he heard this, and he wondered, "What do you mean?"

The girl in the wheelchair raised her head and glanced at the young man who frowned slightly, and then spit out two words lightly: "Innocent." ”

Xu Yue retracted his gaze, looked at the crowded street in front of him, and whispered to himself: "I heard that you are very close to that girl named Ah Cheng, then you should know that Your Majesty has made a decree to send the prince to Ningzhou." ”

When Wei Lai heard this, he said quietly: "I do know about it, but ......"

"I haven't met His Majesty the Emperor, and I don't know if he's really as bad as the rumors have rumored. He may really favor the Empress Jin, so that his relatives control the government, or he may be really suspicious and suspicious, so that everyone in the court is in danger. But I don't think he's so stupid that he can't see why his sons are fighting to the death. Wei Lai was interrupted by Xu Yue only halfway through his words, the girl's tone was calm, but with a calmness that made it difficult to have the slightest doubt.

"Then since His Majesty the Emperor knew all this, but still sent the crown prince to Ningzhou, the intention of this is very interesting. ”

"If Your Majesty has a candidate in his heart, what he should do at this moment should be to suppress one side and elevate one side, in case he will last turn into a civil war in Dayan after a hundred years. If His Majesty still has no definite number in his heart, then he should evaluate the two, or grant official positions and delegate them, or entrust them with important tasks and temptations. And both of them must be treated equally and measured, so as not to arouse suspicion and dissatisfaction on one side and make the situation turbulent. ”

"But Your Majesty only sent the prince abroad, and the place of dispatch is still such a sensitive Ningzhou, what he thinks is nothing more than two words. ”

"Which two words?" Wei Lai asked with a frown.

"Balance. Xu Yue spit out two words that made Wei Lai a little inexplicable. But fortunately, the girl in front of her did not have the bad habit of selling guanzi, and she continued immediately.

"Obviously, His Majesty the Emperor seems to be very willing to see the flames of this battle for the succession burn a little more vigorously, and he is also willing to see this war burn from Tailin City to Ningzhou. ”

Wei Lai became more and more confused, and he secretly felt that there were many contradictions in what Xu Yue said: "What good can he do by doing this?"

"Everyone in the world knows that although the five princes do not have the name of the crown prince, but they are supported by the queen of gold, and almost all the government and the opposition are optimistic that the five princes can win this battle for succession. And the prince's only life-saving straw is Ningzhou, and after seizing Ningzhou, the prince has the capital to compete with the Golden Queen. The crown prince was ordered by the emperor to go to Ningzhou in person, that is, His Majesty intends to send Ningzhou into the hands of the prince, of course, in the end, how much the prince of Ningzhou can win depends on the prince's own ability. ”

"But since Your Majesty has done this, it means that Your Majesty hopes that the crown prince can have enough strength to fight against Queen Jin. But in the same way, although Ningzhou is a force that cannot be ignored by Dayan, what will Ningzhou do in the next ten years, you and I are very clear, Your Majesty hopes that the crown prince will have enough strength to fight against the Empress Jin, but at the same time, he does not want this force to be too strong to exceed his control. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Yue stopped, she looked up at Wei Lai behind her again, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, as if she was smiling.

"You mean, Your Majesty is just trying to balance the two, not hoping that one of them will win?" Wei Lai whispered in understanding.

Xu Yue smiled at that time: "It's not too stupid." ”

Wei Lai smiled bitterly, and then asked, "But what does this have to do with me?"

"Everyone in the world thinks that Your Majesty is old enough, and it is time to drive Hexi soon, but Your Majesty himself does not have such an awareness, he still wants to use his imperial skills to balance the various forces of this Great Yan, so as to sit firmly on his throne. ”

Xu Yue smiled and said: "But no matter how long his body can support it, before he dies, this world is still his world after all, and the people of the world have to follow his will." The five princes want to fight with the crown prince, not only because they want to win the heir and fight for the next lord of Dayan, but also because the current head of Dayan wants to fight with them. One day one of them will not be able to fight, and the other prince will be carried to the table again until one of them defeats them all, or His Majesty does go west. ”

It was the first time Wei Lai had heard such a statement about this court dispute, and he couldn't help but change his face at that time, and his expression was a little stunned, but after thinking about it, he secretly felt that Xu Yue's statement was quite reasonable, and in the depths of this truth, there was a chill that made people's hearts tremble.

"The battle between the prince is just the epitome of this emperor's technique, the prince wants to fight, the courtiers also have to fight, and Ningzhou also has to fight. ”

"Everyone has to make their own choice, the Xu family, the Xiao family, and the Ning family, they can plan a way back for themselves, or they can temporarily wait for the price to sell, but in the end, they must have their own side. Otherwise, under the general trend, those who waver will be the first to be eaten by both sides. ”

"And you are the grandson of the state pastor, the only grandson. ”

"It doesn't matter if you admit it, or not, in the eyes of outsiders, in the eyes of the prince and His Majesty, this is the truth, if you don't make a choice, they will make a choice for you. ”

"So, you should understand, right?"

......

When Wei Lai heard this, he lowered his head and was silent for a while, as if he was shocked by the girl's remarks.

The girl didn't bother Wei Lai, she raised her head and stared at the other party quietly, she could understand that the other party needed some time to digest these, after all, the doorways and cities in the court were far more complicated and intertwined than the world imagined. What she said is not necessarily true, and there is still a lot to scrutinize. But at least listening to these things will be good for Wei Lai's future path, and this is one of the few things she can do for him.

But just when the girl was thinking about this, the young man's brows suddenly stretched, and he looked at the girl with a smile: "Sister Xu said naïve, it turned out that she meant this." ”

"Am I not right?" Xu Yue frowned, she didn't like the attitude of the young man who suddenly provoked himself in such a serious topic. Because such a light pick may one day take the life of this young man who is crawling in the whirlpool of power in Dayan.

"Absolutely. Wei Lai seemed to see Xu Yue's displeasure, but the smile on his face did not relent, but at that time he stretched out his finger and pointed at the crowd of people who were shuttling back and forth on the street.

"My father said that cutting the people's strength, balancing the eight directions, and leveling the world is the way of the emperor. And the true way of the sages is to prosper the people and prosper the world. ”

"My father disdains the court and dies for his way, in the past six years, the world has laughed at him for being stupid, and the son can't avenge his father's murder, nor can he prove his sage way, but after all, he can't be in the same stream with those who are despised by him, and he can't enter the 'right path' in the mouth of others who he can't look down on until he dies, right?"

"After all, as a son, no matter how capable you are, you can't slap Lao Tzu in the face, Sister Xu, you should understand this, right?"

Xu Yue was stunned when she heard this, she looked up at the young man, but saw that at that time, the corners of the young man's mouth were raised, and his eyes were shining.

In a trance, it was as if the scholar who was ridiculed back then stood behind her again......
