"I told you at the first level." The administrator sat down in front of the window and whispered, "The existence of a person is not just in the individual person, but in everything related to that individual. You see it, you recognize this existence, then this is my existence. ”

"But generally speaking, just because you regard this illusory individual as me, it will not cause this illusory individual to have the same thoughts and consciousness as I am now, but this is my existence after all, even in your dreams, I can still trace it, and it doesn't take much effort."

He sat in front of the window, looked at An Xiaoyu, looked at the green mountains outside, and sighed softly: "How long has it been since I saw such a scene?" ”

"At least nine thousand years, right?" An Xiaoyu pursed her lips, and suddenly felt very bored: "Didn't you come out under the sea of three thousand books after the founding of the People's Republic of China?" Because of the slaying of the godslayer. ”

The Administrator smiled, "You already know?" ”

"Black told me."

"Oh." The Administrator just nodded, and didn't continue to speak.

An Xiaoyu couldn't help but ask: "So, which one is true, this you or the previous you?" ”

The administrator looked back at her: "You should know that no matter which one I am true, if you really want to distinguish which one is true, what is in your heart is what it should be." Now what do you say? Which one of them am real? ”

An Xiaoyu is no longer the little girl who wanted to make trouble because of a trivial matter, and she already has a very strong patience for the administrator's affairs. Lying on the recliner, An Xiaoyu said helplessly: "I just feel a little pity, why don't you treat me like this?" ”

"If I do this to you, will you like me?" The administrator smiled.

"I understand, I understand, the left and right hand theory of fate!" An Xiaoyu turned sideways to look at the administrator sitting on the platform, wearing a moon-white robe, sitting in front of the window of the balcony, leaning on the railing with one hand, long hair hanging down sideburns, the breeze blowing outside the window, indescribably handsome.

She couldn't help but ask, "What about you?" What the hell was going on with you and Mingyu back then? Don't tell me anything, you're looking for like me! I'm not that foolish right now. ”

"Mingyu and I ......" the administrator thought for a while: "Actually, there is nothing to say, she has been seriously ill since she was a child, and she has splitting headaches from time to time, and her vision in both eyes is only half that of a normal person, and she has no strength in her hands and feet. Just like this painting, it is already a good one that she painted back then, and it is a normal painting that she did her best. ”

The administrator stretched out his hand to pull the painting, An Xiaoyu really couldn't see that such a painting was actually drawn by a person with poor vision in both eyes and weak hands and feet. Because I really can't see anything bad, although it's not good.

"When I found Mingyu, she was seventeen years old, just like when I met you." The administrator put down the painting and continued: "She is not a young lady of a family, nor a princess of a country, but just a down-and-out servant, who is a singer. ”

The doctor said that she would not live to be twenty years old in her life, and that she wanted to find a quiet place to end it. Because she is a servant, she has been learning to sing with Master since she was a child, and she has never been quiet for a day since she remembered things, but this noise will make her headache several times more uncomfortable. ”

"So I took her out of the troupe and to this place." The caretaker patted the railing and said with a smile, "You can't imagine what this place is." ”

"Where?" She succeeded in attracting Ann Xiaoyu's attention.

"This is where the Three Thousand Books are located." The administrator pointed to the green mountains outside and said, "At that time, the mountains outside had not been razed by the Great War of Ten Thousand Races, and the layers were very beautiful. She couldn't really see it, but she said it was fine, so we stayed here. ”

"At that time, she was just afraid that I would get tired of flying with her, so she just picked a random place. But when the little building was built, she really liked the place. Because it's really quiet here. How can this not be quiet? I've shut up all the creatures around me. ”

The administrator smiled and said, "At that time, we were just novices in love, and no one knew how to love someone. I just wanted to give her the best, always asking her what she wanted and what she wanted to do, but I didn't realize that every time I did something, she realized that her life was one step closer to death. ”

"It was she who taught me what love is, the smile you see, the smile of happiness. But it wasn't until she died that I began to realize that the so-called love was not like this. That's just my happiness, but it's not hers. ”

"Her happiness should be to go farther away, see more things, listen to more stories, and then stay by the sea on a night when she can't walk, listen to the sound of the sea tide that she has never heard, and then leave quietly in the moonlight."

"Instead of trying to keep me from crying, comfort me with my last strength and say, we'll see you again in the next life."

An Xiaoyu looked at the administrator's face, and there was no expression at all, but she felt sadness. So she asked, "Can't you cure her disease?" ”

The administrator shook his head: "It is not an ordinary pain, it is innate, it is a scar left by the Heavenly Dao, rooted in her spirituality, as long as she is alive, it can never be erased." So it took me tens of thousands of years to gain higher-level power by betting with the Heavenly Dao......"

An Xiaoyu opened her mouth, and she began to understand. The reason why the administrator made a bet with Tiandao in the first place was probably because of this. obtained the power of a higher rank, and then stayed in the sea of three thousand books for nine thousand years, just to completely repair Mingyu's spirituality.

There was some bitterness in her heart, but she still asked: "So, am I the reincarnation of Mingyu?" ”

The administrator nodded and asked with a smile, "What?" Feeling uncomfortable? ”

"You're really." An Xiaoyu pursed her lips, to be honest, she was still quite uncomfortable in her heart. Who knows that your boyfriend's love is not you, but your past life, and it will be a little unacceptable, right? Even if it was your past life, your past life is your past life after all.

She digested it for a while, and said helplessly: "So those are all fake, what life and life are inseparable, and who knows the things of the previous life in the next life?" What's more, you won't die yet, it's not fair, then I won't be found by you for the rest of my life, and then deceived by you back? ”

The administrator spread his hands: "But now that you have a chance at eternal life, for the sake of your eternal life, I have not interfered too much with your growth. This time the opportunity is the same, I just came to see you, by the way, I will take you to see the world back then, and you will have to solve the rest of the things yourself. ”

"Well, now is not the time to dwell on this." An Xiaoyu still remembered Zhan Pei calling for wind and rain outside: "Last question, why don't you smile at me so much?" In your opinion, there should be no difference between me and Mingyu, right? Is it because you won't be able to smile after 10,000 years? ”

The administrator turned his head and looked into An Xiaoyu's eyes: "Why don't I smile so much...... Don't you think it's selfish to laugh so much? I was like that then, but not now, there has to be some change. Also, who said that in my opinion there is no difference between you and Mingyu? ”

An Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed very happily, and said proudly: "Forget it, forgive you." ”

Seeing An Xiaoyu so satisfied, the administrator also shook his head, stretched out his hand and grabbed An Xiaoyu and said: "In this world, you are just Mingyu, if you want to restore your own ability, you can only turn back into yourself if you find your cause and effect, and if you find cause and effect." ”

"It's a pity, if there is such a chance, I would like to feel what my Chimori is like." An Xiaoyu grabbed the administrator's hand, let him fly up with him, flew out of the window, and when he turned around, he saw the tall pavilion: "You built it yourself?" ”

"No, I asked the tree cave elves to build it, and they are very talented in carpentry." As he spoke, the administrator flew to the east with An Xiaoyu, flying over mountains and rivers, and passing through many big cities, and finally stopped in a small town near the Eastern Desert.

An Xiaoyu landed at the city gate, looked up at the city gate made of loess and stones, and asked, "Is this where Mingyu was born?" ”

The administrator nodded, and An Xiaoyu said in his heart It turned out that Mingyu was also born near the Eastern Wilderness, so he heard the administrator advise: "Try not to speak easily, this is the space of cause and effect, and everything is composed of cause and effect." The cause and effect here permeate your past and present lives, and if too many flaws are revealed, the cause and effect will be even more chaotic. ”

This means that the more chaotic it is, the more difficult it is to find the key to your cause and effect. An Xiaoyu hurriedly closed her mouth, just staring at the world around her with wide eyes, a little novel. The cities of the past were completely different from the cities of today, and even different from those on TV.

An Xiaoyu suddenly thought that if everyone could enjoy such treatment, then those historians and archaeologists should be crazy with joy, right?

The administrator saw through An Xiaoyu's thoughts at a glance, and said softly: "Not everyone's cause and effect can run through the past and present lives, because there are not many people who will really be reincarnated at all. Don't you understand? After a person's soul dissipates, it becomes a pure energy escape, and then reunites to form a new soul through conception. ”

An Xiaoyu nodded, and began to understand how much the administrator might have paid in order to reincarnate Mingyu and find himself. Thinking about it this way, the pimple in her heart is not so big, at least the administrator is really waiting for her for more than 10,000 years, isn't that enough?

Thinking of this, An Xiaoyu smiled sweetly.

"Oh, Mingyu is back to visit relatives?" While immersed in her own world, An Xiaoyu heard a voice suddenly say. She looked over sharply and saw two middle-aged women standing on the side of the road looking at her and smiling, she quickly nodded quietly.

The two women began to babble about the changes that had taken place since she had "left" over the years, and that they were all trivial things. The administrator was not annoyed at all, just stood aside with An Xiaoyu and listened quietly, and answered from time to time.

He whispered, "Everything that happens in the world of cause and effect will be related to cause and effect, and maybe you can get some information related to the key to cause and effect from their mouths." ”

Seeing the two people whispering in a whisper, the two women laughed: "Oops! You two are still so affectionate! It's really a good fortune for us Mingyu to meet such a good person! It's not like us, who stay in this place all their lives and slowly become a bad old woman! ”

"Oops! What a good person Miss Mingyu is! Who is beautiful and can sing and dance, what can we compare? Just recently, the shopkeeper Xu of Le Fang was still chattering, indicating that Miss Yu had not taken the things that Miss Yu had left behind back then, and if she didn't take them, she would treat them as family heirlooms! ”

The word "oops" seems to be the mantra spoken by the locals, which can be heard all over the street, and it is these two words that are spoken, and only then do they start to say the normal content.

The administrator glanced down at An Xiaoyu, she suddenly understood, nodded and said goodbye to the two women, and began to walk towards the city. While walking, An Xiaoyu asked: "Lefang, is that where Mingyu sang before?" Who is the shopkeeper Xu? ”

"Le Fang is an ancient bar." The administrator said: "The shopkeeper Xu is one of the best tasks in this border city, she married a rich merchant back then, and then the rich merchant died here, so she stayed here and used the rich merchant's money to open the music workshop, and it didn't take long to become the largest music shop in the city." ”

"What did Mingyu fall back then?" An Xiaoyu asked again.

"That's the key. Mingyu didn't leave anything behind back then, she sold herself to Le Fang, of course, her things were also Le Fang's, and after redeeming herself, she could only get some money from freedom and profit over the years, and nothing else was left. ”

"In other words, this thing is likely to be cause and effect?" An Xiaoyu asked excitedly, doesn't that mean that as long as you find that thing, you will be able to find a way out of this space? When the time comes, you'll be able to go back outside.

But the Administrator shook his head and said, "How can it be that simple? ”

"Isn't it?"

"Cause and effect are complex, especially when entangled in time, which is even more elusive. How can it be so simple to find the key to cause and effect at once? All we can find is the nodes of cause and effect, and then find out where the cause and effect are little by little through the nodes. ”

"Oh." An Xiaoyu knew that her understanding of cause and effect was far from enough, at least she hadn't let the seed germinate yet. So, just listen to the administrator.

They walked all the way through the street, and from time to time people would look up to say hello on the road, and An Xiaoyu didn't know him, so he had to nod his head. But none of these people wanted to speak. An Xiaoyu suddenly felt like playing an online game, and these people were all non-player characters.

It didn't take long for the two of them to come to the front of a courtyard. The courtyard is a mix of wood and stone, and it looks much stronger and more generous than the surrounding houses, and there are even some oil paints on it that have not been worn off by the wind and sand.

"This is it?"

"This is it." The administrator nodded.

An Xiaoyu looked up at the plaque of the music fang, which said that she didn't know the text, which should be the name of the music fang. Seeing An Xiaoyu, a welcoming servant at the door suddenly smiled and said, "Sister Mingyu is back?" It's been a few days since the shopkeeper reached you, and I said I'll never see you again? ”

Looking at the little guy in front of her, An Xiaoyu tried her best to control her voice and asked softly, "Where is the shopkeeper?" ”

The little guy didn't look out of the ordinary, and hurriedly called another smaller guy over, and said to An Xiaoyu: "I'll take you over, if Shopkeeper Xu knows that Sister Mingyu is back, he must be very happy!" ”

An Xiaoyu rolled her eyes, she had already figured it out, Mingyu should be just a tool to make money for that, she sings well and looks good, it is simply the golden sign of Lefang. At the beginning, the administrator didn't know how much money was spent, and what means were used to let Mingyu redeem herself, how could be happy that she came back to see the fun?

But having said that, An Xiaoyu still wants to know who are.

After all, it was her past life, wasn't it?

Thinking like this, the two of them followed the little guy through the messy lobby, where there were more than a dozen square tables, and in front of the square tables there was a stage one step higher. There are all kinds of people sitting at the table, with a mess of wine and dried fruits, and there are many "VIPs" dressed slightly gorgeously on the high platform on the second floor.

On the stage, there are opera troupe singers playing and singing, accompanied by several well-behaved girls dancing in light clothes. This kind of ancient scene made An Xiaoyu suddenly curious. I've never seen music and singing, I've never seen dance.

She also once guessed that if she had really experienced this in her previous life, should she be familiar with the things of the past? But now it seems that it is all my own wishful thinking. People are reincarnated, all memories are gone, and the body is new, where does the familiarity come from?

Shaking her head, An Xiaoyu followed the administrator through the lobby and into a small door on the side of the lobby. After the small door was pushed open, there was a corridor, and outside the wooden partition of the corridor was the sound of going up and down the stairs and the laughter of ushering in.

After passing through the corridor, I opened a door again and entered the backyard. In the spacious courtyard, in this arid city, there is a rare verdant tree, An Xiaoyu doesn't know what tree it is, but she thinks it's extraordinarily beautiful.

The caretaker said, "This tree is one of the original costs." ”

An Xiaoyu nodded, and heard an old voice coming from the room at the other end of the courtyard: "It's Mingyu back, right?" ”

An Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and bowed her head slightly: "It's me, Mother Xu." ”
