This seat is a villain

After one night's treatment by Dr. Qu, Wei Ziyao's body has mostly recovered.When Xue Yao boarded the boat, he was lying on a deck chair covered with a blanket and making Jing Lan turn around.

"Hey, little cousin is back." Wei Ziyao had just finished drinking a bowl of medicine, and hurriedly picked up an apricot candy in Jinglan's hand and stuffed it into his mouth.He puffed out his cheeks and looked Xue Yao up and down, and said vaguely, "See, you don't look well?"

Xue Yao came to sit down beside Wei Ziyao, and said, "Enough is enough, Jing Lan is a few years younger than you."

Wei Ziyao glanced at Xue Yao, sipped the candy in his mouth nonchalantly, and wrapped the blanket tighter, with an air of empathy.

Xue Yao saw Jing Lan go to deliver empty bowls to the kitchen, and now there were only him and Wei Ziyao in the front hall, so it was a good time to extract a confession by torture.So Xue Yao approached Wei Ziyao and asked in a low voice, "I have a question for you."

It was rare for Xue Yao to ask him something, and Wei Ziyao regained his spirits immediately.He straightened his waist, cleared his throat, and said in a tone of voice: "Speak."

Xue Yao turned a blind eye to Wei Ziyao's despicable face, and asked in a low voice, "Is it possible that people's memories are fake?"

"How would I know?" Wei Ziyao rolled his eyes from the air, and said, "My ancestors have been in business for five generations, so how do I know this?"

Seeing Wei Ziyao pretending to be with him here, Xue Yao smiled coldly.He patted the table next to him heavily, and said with feigned anger, "Stop messing around with me there."

Seeing this, Wei Ziyao subconsciously shuddered. He touched his cold neck and muttered, "Do you have the attitude of asking others?"

Xue Yao didn't speak, and his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and the originally sharp eyebrows and eyes were instantly full of killing intent.Seeing this, Wei Ziyao didn't dare to mess around anymore, and quickly said with a flattering face: "There are many techniques about memory recorded in ancient books, but most of them have been lost. It is not difficult for a person to temporarily forget a memory, as far as I know Many of you in the Bamboo Forest Realm can do it."

Xue Yao knew that Wei Ziyao's words were true, and many heretics in the Bamboo Forest Realm could do it.But these methods can only allow the caster to remove memories from other people's minds, and cannot add them at will, and can only modify what happened in a short period of time, which is not a profound skill in the bamboo forest environment.

Xue Yao continued to ask: "If there is a person, all his memories of the past are only vague and general, without any details, and cannot withstand scrutiny, what would be the reason?"

When Wei Ziyao heard this, he immediately became interested.He thought about it carefully, and said, "I once read an anecdote in Donghai Ghost City, which recorded an ancient magic technique."

The book Wei Ziyao was reading was not a serious book, and the source of the book was unverifiable.The book records a kind of sorcery from the Western Regions called soul washing.As the name suggests, this technique can cleanse all a person's original memories and re-enter the memories compiled by the performer.It is said that this method was created by a saint in the Western Regions. It was originally for the purpose of taking over the men and twisting a melon that was not sweet.The description of sorcery in the first half of the book is straightforward, while the second half focuses on the love affair between the saint and the handsome man whose memory was forcibly tampered with by her, making people have to doubt the authenticity of this spell.

"Because the reimplanted memory is written by the caster, if there are many deletions and changes, it is impossible to cover everything when compiling. This is one of the most obvious flaws of this technique." Wei Ziyao said.

Xue Yao's heart skipped a beat when he heard that, the sorcery that Wei Ziyao said was indeed consistent with his situation.He forcefully suppressed the surprise in his heart, and asked, "Is there a way to break this technique?"

"There is no record in the book about this." Wei Ziyao's unguarded mouth began to believe in the horse again: "But in the second half of the story, it is written that the civilian man who was robbed by the saint regained his original memory and seriously injured the saint. Go, it can be seen that this sorcery is really unreliable, but it is a pity that the saint is so foolish and wrong..."

Wei Ziyao chattered about something later, Xue Yao was no longer listening, he stared at a copper censer in the front hall, lost in thought.If such a technique really exists in the world, then the few doubts about him can be explained.For what purpose Granny Yin did this, he has no idea for now.But if he is really Xue Yao, the privy secretary, then why his appearance is completely different from Xue Yao.And Lin Jinhuan, what is the relationship between Xue Yao and Lin Jinhuan...

Xue Yao thought of Lin Jinhuan, and his thoughts almost drifted away. Before he could taste what it was like, Lin Jinhuan came back with someone.

Xue Yao was caught off guard by Lin Jinhuan's sudden appearance. He himself was upset at the moment, and he didn't want to bother with Lin Jinhuan's hypocrisy, so he simply put oil on his feet and left Wei Ziyao to escape.

After returning to his room, Xue Yao leaned against the door and thought inexplicably: What am I guilty of?

After thinking about it for a while, there was no result, so Xue Yao simply didn't think too much about it.He turned onto the bed cross-legged into meditation, gradually sank his breath into the inner sea, gradually emptied his consciousness, and tried to trigger the memory again.

As soon as Lin Jinhuan stepped into the front hall, he saw a dark shadow heading towards the cabin.Wei Ziyao, a man with a bigger mind than Pen, also saw that Xue Yao was a little strange, he nudged Lin Jinhuan with his elbow, and asked in confusion, "Did you provoke him?"

Lin Jinhuan withdrew his gaze, he pushed Wei Ziyao's restless hand away, and said, "Be reasonable, cousin, no matter how you look at it, you are more annoying than me."

"The conscience of heaven and earth!" Wei Ziyao was shocked when he heard the words, and said with a face that he couldn't talk nonsense: "If I provoke him, can I still lie here and talk to you right now?"

Lin Jinhuan bent down and said to Wei Ziyao with a pleasant face: "I don't know if you can survive if you provoke him. If you are restless, I guarantee that your life will not be long."

***

The cool night is like water, and a merchant ship is moving forward in the lonely night.

It was a silent night, and there was no other sound except the sound of splashing water.Lin Jinhuan dismissed Jinglan Jingli and the others early, and sat alone in the cabin for half the night.

There was a waterfowl's cry outside the window, and he opened the document that Jing Lan left just now as if he had just woken up from a dream, and after reading two lines, he covered the document with a little upset.

Xue Yao has been alone in the room for a day and a night.In the evening, Lin Jinhuan seemingly unintentionally sent Jing Lan to inquire, but Xue Yao didn't open the door, and just threw Jing Lan away impatiently with a sentence of "Retreat".

The excuse of retreat was too perfunctory, and Xue Yao made it clear that he was avoiding him.

Lin Jinhuan walked to the window and opened the window to look out. The night was deep now, and there was no view outside the window. There were a few lights in the distance, presumably they were ships sailing at night.As the evening wind blew, Lin Jinhuan casually glanced at the window next to him, and it was pitch black.

Do you want to go and have a look?Lin Jinhuan thought to himself.But he recalled what happened the night before, and suddenly dismissed the idea.

Or go again tomorrow morning.Thinking about it, Lin Jinhuan went back to the front of the case and dealt with the paperwork on the table. It was just sent by Yanqing. Qin Liushuang had already arrived at Kaiyun Temple to examine the corpses. There was indeed something wrong with the dead monks of Kaiyun Temple.

However, Lin Jinhuan's bright moon was shining on the ditch, and Xue Yao was not in his room. At this moment, he was sitting in Wei Ziyao's room with his legs crossed, looking like a street bully.

"Have you thought of a way, little monk?"

Xue Yao had already sat in Wei Ziyao's room for most of the night, and his patience had already run out.He raised his eyelids and glanced at Wei Ziyao, then let out a cold snort from his throat.

Wei Ziyao was sitting cross-legged under the lamp, his eyes were closed tightly, and he was holding a string of red sandalwood Buddha beads that he found out from nowhere. He was chanting words, which seemed to be chanting.

The string of red sandalwood Buddha beads is reddish-brown all over, with simple and oily pulp, which looks like it has been around for a while.Paired with Wei Ziyao's outfit of jewels, oil, oil and noodles, it looks a bit nondescript no matter how you look at it.

"Benefactor Xue." Shanzhen opened his eyes, glanced at Xue Yao expressionlessly, and continued: "The poor monk should have made it very clear to you yesterday that this is a sorcery from the Western Regions, and the poor monk cannot understand it."

Xue Yao nodded when he heard the words, and said empathetically, "If that's the case, then I won't be able to force others to make things difficult for me."

After learning about the soul cleansing technique at Shanzhen the day before yesterday, Xue Yao tried to adjust his internal energy based on the scene when he recalled the memory last time.If what the little bald donkey said is true, there should be a chance to evoke the deliberately hidden memory again.However, he locked himself in the room and tossed for a day and a night, but still got nothing.So Xue Yao simply sneaked into Shanzhen's room in the dead of night, trying to intimidate and lure him.

Xue Yao stood up, looking as if he was about to say goodbye.As soon as he walked to the door, he suddenly turned his feet, walked in front of Shanzhen with his hands behind his back, bent down and looked into Shanzhen's eyes, and said seriously: "I see that you have been Wei Ziyao for a long time, and you have forgotten who you are, Master. .”

"With the personality of the master who counts all plans, he will definitely not tell me a hearsay thing." Xue Yao straightened up, looked down at Shanzhen and said: "What do you want?"

Shanzhen put down the Buddhist beads in his hand, and was not in a hurry to deny Xue Yao's words.He looked up at Xue Yao calmly and said, "The poor monk just wants to return to the key to the Buddhist scriptures tower of our temple."

"Oh?" Xue Yao put on a surprised face when he heard the words: "You have kept the key of your temple all the time, and outsiders have no chance to see it. Where did the word 'return' come from?"

"Benefactor Xue knows it well." Shanzhen turned his eyes away from Xue Yao's face, lowered his eyelashes and continued to turn the beads in his hand.

Xue Yao lowered his head and sneered when he heard the words, went back to the original chair and sat down, propped his hands up and said, "So I want to get back that pig card."

Shanzhen nodded frankly, and said calmly, "I'm laughing."

It turns out that the key to the Golden Pavilion that caused bloody storms in the world and everyone is coveting is Wei Ziyao's pig card made of pure gold.It turned out that Xue and Lin didn't think of this when Jing Lan brought the pig card back.When they met Wei Ziyao again in Xiaoque Mountain, he had been tortured to the brink of death by Xiao Yu, but Xiao Yu found nothing from him, which aroused the suspicion of Xue Yao and Lin Jinghuan.

It turned out that Wei Ziyao did not wait for the people from the Little Chang'an Temple that day at the Queshan Inn, but Xiao Yu was waiting.He immediately left his pig card.One is to seek help from Xue and Lin, and the other is that it is better to leave the key outside than to fall into the hands of the bamboo forest. There is still a glimmer of hope.

Besides, who would have thought that the key to a Buddhist holy place like Little Chang'an Temple would be a vulgar thing full of flowers.

After Wei Ziyao came back safely, he asked Jing Lan for a pig card many times but failed. He already expected that Xue Lin and the two of them had guessed the key to it.

Xue Yao said: "The pig card is in Lin Jinhuan's hands at the moment, so it's not difficult to grab it."

Shanzhen looked at him, even with those calm eyes, there was a slight ripple at this moment.

Xue Yao paused, then continued: "The question is, what can you do if you grab it? If it is returned to you, Lin Jinhuan wants to get it back easily. If I keep it for you, I guess in your opinion, it is better to hand it over to Lin Jinhuan. .”

Shanzhen didn't refute Xue Yao's words, and Xue Yao watched the light in Shanzhen's eyes dim again, and his whole person returned to the previous state of wanting nothing.

After Xue Yao sang the white face and the red face, he comforted Wei Ziyao as if he had found his conscience: "Although Lin Jinhuan is cruel and moody, he is generally a trustworthy person. When you return to Little Chang'an Temple and you fulfill your promise, he will definitely release the secret to you." I will return the key to you."

Xue Yao didn't know if Lin Jinhuan was a man of commitment, but he said that just to keep Shanzhen in check.But he understood why Lin Jinhuan wanted to hold Shanzhen's pig card, because Lin Jinhuan was suspicious by nature and never believed in Shanzhen, and Shanzhen had indeed used them before.People in the magic way can't get up early without benefit, he escorted Shanzhen back to Citong all the way, and he can't go on without a reassurance on the way.

Shanzhen obviously also thought of this level, he thought for a moment, nodded and said: "So, I was abrupt." Then he picked up the Buddhist beads and began to order to chase away guests: "It's late at night, and the dew is heavy, please come back, Master Xue." .”

"Wait." Xue Yao pressed down the Buddhist bead in Shanzhen's hand with a smile, and said, "I've been talking about Lin Jinhuan for a long time, now it's time to talk about me."

Xue Yao's appearance is very good, and now he is smiling softly under the lamp, which should be more pleasing to the eye.However, Shanzhen felt that Xue Yao's smile was a bit creepy.

"As I said before, it's not difficult to snatch the golden lock from Lin Jinhuan's hand. It's not difficult for me to destroy it after I snatch it." Xue Yao smiled more and more sincerely, but this smile was very coquettish in Shanzhen's eyes.

"It was Lin Jinhuan who promised to send you back to Little Chang'an Temple, so what have I to do with you? I don't have much friendship with Lin Jinhuan, and now I'm even more estranged from Zhulin Jingen. Whether it's Guanshan Jade, Killing God Knife, or the key to the Tibetan scripture building, It’s meaningless to me, just destroy it.” Xue Yao said it lightly, as if the few things he said “destroy it” were not treasures in the world, but just a few ordinary small objects.

After Xue Yao finished speaking, he let go of the hand holding the Buddhist beads, glanced at the sky outside the window, pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and said, "So it's so late, it's a sin to disturb Master Qingxiu, I will take my leave first."

Saying that, Xue Yao stood up from the chair, turned around and was about to leave.
