Chapter Seventy-Six: Wei Liufang
For a long time, Wei Lai was plagued by an absurd dream.
A flickering red candle, a bed with a red tent and light gauze, and a woman who can't see clearly.
They kissed.
They linger.
They hugged each other tightly.
Wei Lai wanted to know who she was, but every time this question was asked, the dream came to an abrupt end.
And as time passed, the dream gradually became blurred from the initial clarity.
Wei Lai had a bad premonition in his heart, as if something extremely important was about to leave him, but he couldn't keep it.
Until......
Jiang Huanshui said those names......
Wei Zhen, splendid, long-sleeved.
Wei Lai thought that this was his grandfather's old acquaintance, but at the last moment, the old man said again......
"I avenged your grandfather......"
Grandpa's two words were like a sharp blade that pierced Wei Lai's heart. He suddenly realized a very strange question - who was his grandfather?
Of course, this is not the story of a down-and-out young man told by the storyteller to the woman, looking for his roots and asking his ancestors.
But Wei Lai suddenly realized at that time that in his nearly seventeen years of life, the word grandfather appeared for the first time, or for the first time, he realized it.
For so long, his father and mother never mentioned his grandfather, and the people around him never mentioned it, and even he himself never thought about the fact that he should have a grandfather, whether the other party was alive or dead, there was no reason why everyone didn't remember him, right?
Wei Lai was in confusion, even pain.
The feeling of remembering when he should have forgotten made Wei Lai almost crazy, and he even sometimes wondered if there was something wrong with his brain.
For a long time afterward, Wei Lai was immersed in the pain of Jiang Huanshui's death and the troubles of those strange emotions in his mind. Until one day, the vague dream about the girl gradually began to become clear again.
Then in countless abrupt stops and questioning, he finally heard her name - Xu Yue.
And it was then that the dream disappeared completely.
As if he had completed some kind of mission, Wei Lai never met the girl again in his dreams.
Then, the Great Sacred Seal was sent from all over the north by the children of Wupan City.
This was not the result of Wei Lai's request, but the things that those children spontaneously asked for from their teachers after learning about it. It's just that Jiang Huanshui is kind to other clans, and these children have long been promoted to holy sons in their respective sects, and the elders in the sect have never refused their requests.
So, after getting these Great Saint Seals, Wei Lai settled everything in Ningzhou and came to Tailin City alone.
When he was sorting out Jiang Huanshui's relics, he had seen the old man write in a codex that he suspected that the luck of this Yandi was swallowed by the ghost of the ancestral emperor, and this trip to Tailin City naturally had the intention of seizing the luck and strengthening Ningzhou, but at the same time, he also wanted to know a little about the girl, about Wei Zhen, Jinxiu, Long Sleeves and his grandfather who should have remembered, but had no clue.
Ao Xiu was clearly in some extreme panic.
He no longer had the figure that stretched thousands of miles high, and at this moment, in front of Wei Lai, he was just a phantom of a snake that was no more than three zhang long.
He looked at the situation around him in horror, and only after a few breaths did he react to Shang Wei Lai's eager gaze.
He frowned, and subconsciously wondered, "Xu Yue?"
Apparently he did not know the owner of the name.
Wei Lai asked again: "What about Wei Zhen, what about the long sleeves, what about Jinxiu!, who are they?"
A series of questions were spoken, and at the same time, the eagerness in his heart was revealed.
Ao Xiu was stunned again, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Wei Lai, and the panic on his face suddenly dissipated most of it.
He laughed.
Although it was a very strange scene for a snake to have a smile on his face like that, what was even more strange was what he said next from his mouth.
"I'm curious how there can be someone like you in this world. He said.
"What do you mean?" Wei Lai asked in a deep voice.
In the eyes of Ao Xiu's two huge snakes, a golden light flashed.
"Your cause and effect are in chaos, countless causes and effects that should be linked have been severed, and countless causes and effects that should not be linked, and I have never met such a pathetic person as you. β
"You don't know what you've forgotten, what you've lost, you think you're alive and well, you've got revenge, but you'll never understand how miserable you've lived. β
Wei Lai's face was gloomy: "What do you mean? What's wrong with my cause and effect? What did I forget? How can I get those things back?"
"Do you think I'll tell you?" asked Ao Xiu rhetorically.
"Don't you want to live?" Wei Lai asked in a low voice.
"Alive?" Ao Xiu laughed, "I know you too well, you are the kind of person who can worship me day and night for six years in order to take revenge." β
"How will you let me go?"
"I don't say it, you don't dare to kill me if you say it, if you say it, the next moment, you can't wait to cut me with a thousand knives. β
Wei Lai's face became more and more ugly, although he didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit that Ao Xiu was right, and this was indeed what he had planned from the beginning.
Of course, he couldn't let this snake go, even if he was just a ghost now, he would crush it to ashes.
"I won't kill you for the time being, but I have a way to make your life worse than death!"
Wei Lai whispered.
But such a threat was exchanged for a burst of unbridled laughter from Ao Xiu: "What can you do with me? It's nothing more than using your Yin Dragon to devour my spirit, or using the black water of the underworld to imprison my soul, I, Ao Xiu, have lived for more than two hundred years, how can I be afraid of your methods." β
"Besides, do you really think your plan to capture luck is as flawless?"
"Do you think that the most terrifying person in this Yan Land is the Ancestral Emperor? You are so naΓ―ve, you can't leave Guzhou alive at all. β
"If I'm right, you're almost there. β
Wei Lai could hear that Ao Xiu, who said this, was determined in his tone.
"You mean that queen mother?" Wei Lai quickly reacted, he had faintly noticed that the queen mother's body was vaguely diffused with qi in the Longxiang Palace, and there was a bit of a hint of subtlety, and under the threat of his several Great Saint Seals, most of the people were shocked, but she had a leisurely expression, and there was no difference in color.
It's just that the woman didn't do anything harmful to Wei Lai at that time, and Wei Lai naturally wouldn't make any extraneous branches, listening to Ao Xiu's words at this moment, although the expression on his face was calm, he couldn't help but be a little worried in his heart.
After all, Ao Xiu's current situation does not seem to have the need to intimidate him.
"We're all going to die, but even if I die, even if I really die, then I'll die as a living being, a complete living being. β
"And you?"
"You can't even know which one you know is real and which one is false. β
"The memories in your mind have long been revised over and over again, and you can't even confirm who you really are!"
"Why should I be afraid? In the end, you will always be worse than me!"
Ao Xiu was still chattering, and every word that came out of his mouth pierced Wei Lai's heart like a sharp blade, making Wei Lai's mind turbulent.
He forgot a lot of people, a lot of things, he didn't realize it himself, but he couldn't remember, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember.
His eyes began to be bloodshot, the expression on his face became hideous, he stretched out his hand and pinched the snake, and asked in a cold voice, "Who the hell is it!? Who is doing all this?" β
Ao Xiu sneered, "You'll never know. β
But at this moment, a rush of footsteps suddenly came from outside the forest.
The man's speed was extremely fast, and his purpose was extremely strong, and his breath came to a place very close to Wei Lai in the blink of an eye, and he was still rapidly approaching him.
"The man who killed you is coming. β
Ao Xiu obviously felt this as well, and he looked at Wei Laiyan with a sly smile.
Wei Lai's heart was shocked, he used a Great Saint Seal to instantly transfer three hundred miles before coming here, and it was only a quarter of an hour to stay, how could the pursuers find his traces so quickly, or did someone on his body unknowingly plant some kind of mark, so he exposed his whereabouts so quickly.
But he didn't have time to think about it, his internal breath was extremely chaotic at the moment, and he couldn't fight those pursuers at all, he beckoned, and the yin dragon reappeared, swallowing Ao Xiu's yin soul into his belly, and then he hurriedly turned around and ran quickly in the opposite direction where those breaths were surging.
It's just that his speed is fast, but the speed of the other party's chase is even faster.
However, after more than ten breaths, Wei Lai could clearly feel that the other party's breath was rapidly approaching him, and the distance between the two was constantly shortening.
His brow furrowed, and he was thinking about what to do, but a cold light suddenly fell from the sky in front of him.
Wei Lai was stunned for a moment, hurriedly stopped, and retreated for a few minutes.
And at this moment, the cold light suddenly fell to the ground and landed where he was standing.
Wei Lai looked at it fixedly, but it was a snow-white long sword.
At this moment, the sword body trembled slightly, and the sword intent lingered around the body, and it was inserted upside down on the ground in front of Wei Lai.
Wei Lai was secretly surprised, but at this moment, a figure suddenly fell slowly from the top of his head, standing on the hilt of the sword with one foot.
It was a man Wei Lai had never seen before, forty years old, wearing a black robe, although there were traces of time on his face, but the handsome silhouette of his youth could still be seen.
Bang dang!
A crunch!
The white wolf swallowed the moon and suddenly came out of its sheath, and the snow-white sword light illuminated the dense forest, Wei Lai looked at the man vigilantly, and asked in a low voice, "Who is Your Excellency?"
The man looked Wei Lai up and down with interest, and then smiled at Wei Lai.
"Jade Dingfeng ......"
"Wei Liufang. β
