Hell Emperor

Chapter 31 Xia Wei-Jingmeng
Returning to Leize, the sky outside has long dimmed, but within Leize, the always bright, blazing, and tireless galloping lightning makes this place as bright as day, without distinction between day and night.

In front of the mountain wall surrounded by rocks, Ye Jie also saw Xia Wei sitting alone and speechless. Alone, tired and sleepy, her expression only improved when she saw Ye Jie.

"Master..." Xia Wei called softly. She dragged her tired body, her pretty face had lost its former luster, and her eyelids were twitching.

"You haven't rested yet?" Ye Jie was a little surprised and hurried forward, "You fought hard today, injured your arm, and are already very exhausted. I thought you had gone to bed long ago, why are you still sitting here waiting? "

Xia Wei pursed her lips and reached out to grab Ye Jie's robe: "Xiao Wei couldn't sleep... As soon as she closed her eyes, the faces of the dead appeared in front of Xiao Wei again. They asked Xiaowei, said that Xiaoweike killed them, even his father and brother were there..."

"Don't be afraid, it's just your inner demons." Ye Jie sat down next to her and comforted her.

Under the comfort of Master, Xia Wei's expression improved, but deep in her eyebrows, there was still a frown that could not be relieved. She forced out a smile and said: "As long as Master is here, Xiao Wei will Don’t be afraid. Xiaowei knows that this request is arbitrary, but can master stay by Xiaowei’s side and wait until Xiaowei falls asleep before leaving?”

Ye Jie was helpless: "What if I stayed in Hades and didn't come over? Are you going to sit here and wait all night?"

Xia Wei didn't answer, she just looked at Ye Jie with aggrieved eyes. She would really do that.

"It's as you wish." Ye Jie sighed, "When you wake up, I will explain the exercises to you."

After getting Ye Jie's answer, Xia Wei turned from sadness to joy, and lay down against the mountain wall leeward, still holding on to Ye Jie's clothes, and soon fell asleep.

After Xia Wei fell asleep, Ye Jie, who had nothing to do, also took out the classic book of Bai Lian Shen from his arms and read it carefully.

His mediocre qualifications are not enough to master the techniques in the classics, but studying them in advance can add a lot of experience and insights to Xia Wei in the next explanation.

Halfway through, Ye Jie suddenly heard a sob in his ear. He looked down and saw Xia Wei huddled up in a ball, tears falling down her cheeks, her body trembling faintly, and she murmured helplessly in her sleep: "No. ...I wasn't the one who killed you..."

"The inner demon is deep inside..."

Ye Jie sighed, and saw that Xia Wei's body was tense, her lips were biting, her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and her breathing was rapid. She was holding her robe's plain hands and secretly exerting force. She was enduring tremendous torture in her sleep. As a master, he , naturally we cannot sit idly by and ignore it.

Ye Jie carefully pulled back his robe and tiptoed back far away. Then he hit the ground with a black stone and ran away. After about a cup of tea, he returned. Only this time, he was holding a bowl in his hand. Clear and transparent spring water.

"Although it is impolite to enter other people's dreams rashly, in order to get rid of the inner demons, I can only take this step. Xia Wei, when you wake up, don't blame me."

Ye Jie took a sip of yellow spring water, and then poured the rest of the bowl towards Xia Wei's head. The spring water pulled out a glass thread in the air, which did not moisten her skin, but penetrated through it and reached her. Deep in the mind. Ye Jie also turned into a stream of light and sneaked into Xia Wei's dream together with the falling water.

"Ok?"

As soon as he entered, Ye Jie frowned and saw that he was walking on a red lake. The lake water submerged his knees, and his feet seemed to be stuck in mud. Every step he took was so laborious.

He leaned down and realized that what he was stepping on was not lake water at all, but thick and warm blood.

"There is an old saying: What you think about every day, what you dream about at night... It seems that the tragic situation of the hunters being slaughtered by the shrimp-headed men really scared her." Looking around, Ye Jie said with emotion, he was stained by blood earlier. The red river bank is very similar to the scene in the dream.

Seeing no one around, Ye Jie shouted loudly: "Xia Wei, where are you? I'm here to find you."

His call was answered, and soon he saw a large scallop floating from the blood lake. The scallop was bright red and tightly closed. Although the inside could not be seen, Ye Jie firmly believed that there must be someone inside.

He stretched out his hand to block the drifting large scallop and knocked on it: "Xia Wei, are you in there?"

"Master, is it you?" A cry of surprise came out from the scallop. "It's me, why are you hiding here?" Ye Jie said.

Before he finished speaking, he saw a gap in the scallop, and Ye Jie was caught before he could react.

In the small scallop space, Ye Jie also saw Xia Wei with a wary look on her face. She was sitting on the ground with her hands around her knees and her lips biting tightly. Her whole body's nerves were tense, even if she was just a little older. The sound of her voice could startle her, and she was completely different from the stubborn and persevering girl in Ye Jie's memory.

"Are you okay..." Ye Jie asked with concern.

"Shh..." Xia Wei made a shushing gesture, "As long as we hide here, those people can't find me, and no one can break this shell."

"Are you escaping..." From Xia Wei's expression, Ye Jie also saw a lot of things. The people she mentioned were obviously the people she had killed and were also her inner demons. "There is no way to escape." Solve the problem."

A huge knocking sound suddenly came from above the shell. The moment the knocking sound sounded, Xia Wei's whole body shook suddenly, followed by the lingering whisper.

"Xia Wei is hiding in the shell."

"We treated her with good intentions, but she got us all killed!"

Empty your mind and listen carefully. The sound of beating is even duller than Ye Jie thought. It is clearly just the sound of thunder that will never stop in the thunder. When Xia Wei is sleeping, it becomes a heart-stopping reminder. , every blow struck her heart.

Along with the sound came the inner demons she was afraid of, the people gathered outside the shell, ready to pull her out of the shell completely.

"Aren't you worried about the shell being broken?" Ye Jie asked her at this time.

Xia Wei was stunned. There seemed to be some cracks in the shell above her head. She quickly shook her head and the cracks disappeared immediately: "It won't be broken. The shell will never be broken."

Ye Jie saw the changes in the shell and understood in his heart.

This is Xia Wei's dream, a projection of reality deep in her mind. Everything she thinks about will come true here. As long as she firmly believes that the shell will not be broken, the shell will be harder than any hard stone in the world. .

And the reason why she thought so was probably because the shell that clamped Qi Feng's arm during the day was too hard and left a deep impression on her.

Looking at her, Ye Jie looked a little apologetic. Hiding in a shell, blindly escaping from the inner demons, there will eventually be a day when you are found. You can hide for a while, but you cannot hide for the rest of your life. Then the inner demons that attack you will only become more violent and more harmful.

Not only that, the dangers of deep-seated inner demons will also affect Xia Wei's practice. She may be invaded by inner demons when she is exercising, causing her to go crazy and enter a situation where she will never recover.

There is only one way to defeat your inner demons, and that is to face your deepest fears.

It is very difficult for ordinary people to face the most unbearable memories in their hearts and relive the trauma that makes their souls tremble. It is understandable to choose to escape, but as a master, Ye Jie's duty is to Lead Xia Wei to the right path.

Ye Jie said, "I don't think this shell is indestructible, right? A powerful practitioner can easily break it."

Xia Wei was stunned. Her deep faith in her master made her believe Ye Jie's words. The next moment, huge cracks appeared on the shell. The cracks spread rapidly. She didn't even have time to be surprised. The upper layer of the shell was lifted open. .

Xia Wei looked up tremblingly, only to see the familiar pale faces in her memory crawling out of the river of blood and surrounding her tightly.
