In order to prevent the old and young blues from attacking at midnight and dragging him out of bed to punish him, Wei Wu Xian slept with his sword all night. The next day, Nie Huaisang came to him with great joy: "Brother Wei, you are really lucky, the old man went to Qinghe last night for my family's talk. You don't have to listen to school these days!"
The old one is missing, and the young one is left, which is not easy to deal with! Wei Wu Xian got up with a start, put on his boots and was happy: "It's really a lucky day and the sky is helping me."
Jiang Cheng was carefully polishing his sword and splashed him with cold water: "When he comes back, you still can't escape a punishment."
Wei Wuxian said: "How can I care about what happens after life, a few days are a few days. Let's go, I don't believe that the blue family can't find a few small chickens on this mountain."
The three of them hooked up with each other, passing the elegant room of the parlor where the clouds are deep, Wei Wuxian suddenly "Huh", stopping in his tracks, wondering: "Two little ancient ... blue zhan!"
In the elegant room out of the face of several people, the first two teenagers, the appearance is the general ice carving, attire is the general white clothes like snow, even the back of the sword spike is the general and the sash together with the wind swaying, but only the temperament and look very different. Wei Wu Xian immediately distinguished that the one with a stern face was Blue Forgetting Machine, and the calm one was definitely the other of the two Blue's, Blue Xichen of Zemu.
When he saw Wei Wuxian, he frowned and gave him an almost "vicious" glare, as if he would be tainted if he looked at him for a moment longer, and moved away to look into the distance. Lan Xichen smiled and said, "Who are you two?"
Jiang Cheng saluted, "Yunmeng Jiang Wanyin."
Wei Wu Xian also saluted, "Yun Meng Wei Wu Xian." The years I was a Taoist priest
When Lan Xichen returned the salute, Nie Huaisang's voice was like a gnat: "Brother Xichen."
Lan Xichen said, "Huaisang, I came from Qinghe not long ago, and your big brother asked about your studies. How is it? Are you ready to pass this year?"
Nie Huaisang said, "Mostly yes ...," he looked at Wei Wu Xian for help, like a wilted melon with frost. Wei Wu Xian smiled cheekily: "Zemu Jun, what are you going to do here?"
Lan Xichen said: "To get rid of the water spirits. We don't have enough people, so we're coming back for Forgetfulness."
Blue Forgetfulness said coldly, "Brother, why do you need to talk too much, it's not too late, let's set off."
Wei Wu Xian said, "Slowly, slowly. To catch water ghosts, I will, can Zemu Jun bring us along?"
Lan Xichen smiled but didn't say anything, and Lan Qi said, "That's not the rule."
Wei Wuxian said, "What's wrong with that? We often catch water spirits in Yun Meng. Besides, we don't have to listen to school these days."
The Jiang family was really good at this, and Jiang Cheng also wanted to make up for the disgrace that the Yunmeng Jiang family had lost in the Blue family these days, and said, "Good, Zemu Jun, we can definitely help."
"No need. The Gusu Blue Clan is also ..." Before Lan Qiqi could finish, Lan Xichen smiled and said, "Fine, then thanks a lot. Get ready, let's go together. Can Huaisang go with us?"
Nie Huaisang although want to go along with the lively, but meet blue Xichen will think of their own big brother, fear, do not dare to play, said: "I do not go, I go back to study ..." so attitude, hoping that next time blue Xichen can say a few more good words in front of his big brother. Wei Wu Xian and Jiang Cheng went back to their rooms to prepare.
The two of them are not in the same position as the other two. It is not appropriate to joke and play with each other."
Lan Xichen said, "Patriarch Jiang's first apprentice and only son have a good reputation in Yunmeng, so they don't necessarily only play jokes."
Blue forgetfulness machine does not deny, but the face is full of "disagree".
Lan Xichen added: "Besides, aren't you willing to let him go?"
Blue forget machine stunned.
Blue Xichen said: "I see you look like you want to let the first disciple of Patriarch Jiang go together, so I agreed."
Before the elegant room, silence was like frozen ice.
Only after a long time did Lan Forgetting Machine say with difficulty, "There is absolutely no such thing."
He had to defend himself, but Wei Wu Xian and Jiang Cheng had already carried their swords over. Blue forgetfulness machine only have to shut up, a group of people to the sword set off.
The place where the water ghosts are haunting is called Caiyi Town, more than 20 miles away from the deep clouds.
Colorful clothes town waterway through, I do not know is the small town interwoven with a dense network of rivers, or spider web-like waterway on both sides of the dense stickers residential. With white walls and gray tiles, the river is crowded with boats and baskets and baskets, men and women. Flowers, vegetables and fruits, bamboo cakes, beans, tea and silk, bought and sold along the river.
Gusu is located in the south of the Yangtze River, so the sound is all soft and fluffy. The two boats collided head-on, overturning several jars of glutinous rice wine, and even the two boatmen theorized as if they were warbling. Yun Meng has many lakes, but there are few water towns like this. Wei Wuxian looked surprised and bought two jars of glutinous rice wine, handing one to Jiang Cheng, saying: "People in Gusu speak in a whisper. Which is quarrelsome, go see how the people of Yunmeng quarrelsome, can scare them to death ... Lanzhan what are you looking at me for, I am not a small tool not to buy you, your family's people are not not able to drink."
Not much to make a stop, took a dozen thin small boats, rowed towards the gathering of water sneaks. Gradually there are fewer and fewer people living on both sides of the river, and the river is quiet. Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng each occupied a boat, while comparing who rowed faster, while listening to the water skeleton related matters here.
This river leads to a large lake ahead, named Bi Ling Lake. The town has never been haunted by water spirits for decades, but in recent months, people have frequently fallen into the water in this river and Biling Lake, and the cargo ship also inexplicably sank. A few days ago, Lan Xichen set up a net here, I thought I could catch one or two, who expected to catch a dozen water ghosts. The corpses were washed and brought to the nearby town to ask, there are some corpses unclaimed, no one knows the local. Yesterday, the formation was set up again and many more were caught.
Wei WuXian said: "to say that is drowned in other places, floating here along the water, also not quite like. This thing recognizes the domain, usually only identify a piece of water, is where they drowned, rarely leave."
Lan Xichen nodded: "Good. So I feel that this is a very important matter, so I let forget the machine to come together, in case of unpredictable."
Wei Wu Xian said: "Zemu Jun, water ghosts are very smart. If they stay under the water and don't come out, will we have to keep looking for them? What if we can't find them?"
Lan Zhiji said, "Until we find them. It's our duty."
Wei Wuxian said, "Just use the net to catch?"
Lan Xichen said, "That's right. Does the Yun Meng Jiang Clan have another method?"
Wei Wu Xian smiled and did not answer. Of course, Yunmeng Jiang's also use the net, but he relies on good water, never jump into the river directly drag up the water ghosts. This method is too dangerous, certainly not in front of the blue family to use, to the ears of blue Qiren will inevitably be lectured again. He changed the subject: "If there is something, like fish bait can attract the water ghosts themselves to come on the good. Or can point out its direction, like a compass."
Jiang Cheng said, "Look down at the water and concentrate on finding yours. Again with the whimsy."
Wei Wu Xian said, "Cultivating immortal imperial swords was once whimsical too!"
When he looked down, he could just see the bottom of the boat in which Lan Zhiji was riding, and with a thought, he called out, "Lan Zhan, look at me!"
Blue forget machine is concentrating on the alert, heard the words can't help but look at him, but see Wei Wu Xian hands a stroke of the bamboo pole, a splash of water splash and come. Blue forget machine foot a little, gently leap on the other boat, to avoid the splash, annoyed that he really is to joke and joking, said: "boring!"
Wei Wuxian kicked the side of the boat he was standing on, and with a pick of the Penny, the boat was turned over to reveal the bottom. On the wooden board at the bottom of the boat, there were three water ghosts with puffy faces and dead white skin!
The disciples who were close to the boat immediately restrained these three. Lan Xichen laughed: "Mr. Wei, how did you know they were at the bottom of the boat?"
Wei Wu Xian knocked on the side of the boat, "Simple! The draught is not right. There was only one person standing on the boat just now, but the draught is heavier than a two-person boat, so there must be something picking at the bottom of the boat."
Lan Xichen praised: "Really experienced."
Wei Wuxian Penny flicked the water, the boat flew, rowed to and blue forget machine side by side. When the two boats were next to each other, he said, "Lan Zhan, just now I didn't mean to splash you with water. Water ghosts can be very fine, if I said it, they heard it and ran away. Hey, pay attention to me. Look at me, the second son of Lan."
Blue forgetfulness machine condescends to him, looks at him, says: "Why do you want to follow?"
Wei Wu Xian sincerely said, "I came to apologize to you. Last night was my fault, I was wrong."
Blue forgetfulness machine hall of seal faintly black. I guess he still hasn't forgotten how Wei Wu Xian gave him an "apology" before. Wei Wuxian knowingly asked: "Why do you look so ugly? Don't be afraid, I'm really here to help today."
Jiang Cheng could not stand it anymore and said, "If you want to help, don't talk nonsense, come here!"
A disciple shouted, "The net is moving!"
Sure enough, the net rope shook sharply. Wei Wuxian's spirit lifted, "Here it comes!"
Long, thick black silky hair tumbled in unison by dozens of small boats, and a pair of miserable white palms raked up the side of the boat. Blue forgetting machine backhanded sword, avoiding dust out of the sheath, cut off the left side of the boat a dozen wrists, leaving only fingers deep into the wood palms. Just about to cut the right side, a red light flashed, Wei Wu Xian has put the sword back into the sheath.
The movement in the water stopped and the net rope calmed down again. Just now Wei Wu Xian's sword was extremely fast, but Blue Forgettable could already tell that the sword he was carrying must be a top-grade spiritual sword, and asked solemnly: "What is the name of this sword?"
Wei Wu Xian said, "Whatever."
Blue forgetfulness looked at him. Wei Wuxian thought he hadn't heard it clearly, so he said it again, "Whatever."
Blue forgetfulness machine stared at him and refused: "This sword has a spirit, it is disrespectful to call it whatever you want."
Wei Wuxian let out a "sigh" and said, "Turn your brain around. I didn't mean to tell you to call it whatever you want, but the name of my sword is 'whatever'. Here, you see." Said handed over, let blue forget machine to see the sword on the text. The scabbard pattern is engraved with two ancient characters, is really the word "casual".
The two words were really "whatever". Blue forgetfulness could not say anything for a long time.
Wei Wu Xian thoughtfully said: "You do not need to say, I know, you must want to ask why I called this name? Everyone asks if there is any special meaning. In fact, I don't think there is any special meaning, but when Uncle Jiang gave me the sword, he asked me what I wanted to be called. I was thinking of more than 20 names, none of them satisfactory, I said let Uncle Jiang give me one, so I replied 'whatever! . Who knew that after the sword was made, it would come out with these two words on it. Uncle Jiang said: 'In that case, the sword will be called whatever you want. Actually, it's not a bad name, right?"
Finally, Lan Forgetting Machine squeezed two words out of his teeth, "... ridiculous!"
Wei Wu Xian slung the sword over his shoulder and said, "You're so meaningless. How funny is this name, to set a little decent like you, a set of one, haha!"
At this time, a long black shadow flashed around the boat in the turquoise lake. Jiang Cheng finished chopping his side of the water sneak, still watching for any omissions, as soon as he saw the black shadow, immediately shouted: "Here we go again!"
