Wei Wuxian sighed inwardly and thought: "Actually, compared to these hidden secrets... I am now more curious about whether the broken sleeves can be contagious through sacrifices!"
After thinking about it, the tiredness from the past few days was welling up. Wei Wuxian rubbed his temples, and Lan Wangji said, "You should rest."
Wei Wuxian said, "Okay." He sat down on the couch, kicked off his boots, lay back, and said, "Hanguang-Jun, you too..." At this point, he noticed an embarrassing question.
There was only one bed in the house. If Lan Wangji wanted to rest, he would have to lie on the same bed as him. Although they had slept in the same bed countless times over the past few days, many things seemed to have become more subtle since Jiang Cheng's curse at the Lotus Pier Ancestral Hall. Now let alone asking Lan Wangji to come and lie down with him, he had been struggling for a while about how many rooms he wanted.
Lan Wangji said: "No need."
Wei Wuxian raised his body slightly again and said, "How can that be done? You have been... these days..." As soon as he said the words, he regretted it again. If Lan Wangji thought about the trouble, he still wanted two rooms. Better, wouldn't it be more embarrassing?
Lan Wangji said: "I don't need it. You rest."
Wei Wuxian touched his chin and said, "...Oh. Then I'll lie down for a while, and you can call me."
Seeing Lan Wangji sitting at the table, already closing his eyes to rest, Wei Wuxian slowly lay down again.
He rested his arm on his pillow and stared at the roof for a while, then turned over and turned his back to Lan Wangji. After a while, I still stared at my eyes, unable to sleep peacefully, and couldn't help but feel anxious in my heart.
When he went crazy and acted wildly before, he said that he had to lie next to Lan Wangji to fall asleep. Of course, it was all nonsense. However, I don't know since when, this nonsense seems to have become a fact. Wei Wuxian thought to himself, "What can I do? Could it be that I won't be able to sleep in a bed without Lan Zhan from now on???"
After struggling tossing and turning for a while, Wei Wuxian finally managed to close his eyes.
I didn't know how long I had been feeling groggy. When I woke up, the light outside the window had long disappeared. I'm afraid it had even passed the hour of the unitary hour.
Wei Wuxian sat up suddenly. There was a strange noise behind him. When he looked back, Lan Wangji closed a book. Wei WuXian said, "Lan Zhan, why didn't you call me? Didn't you say Shen Shi was getting up?"
Lan Wangji said: "Recuperate your spirit and regain your strength. Don't be in a hurry."
Wei Wuxian slept for most of the day. During most of the day, Lan Wangji probably went downstairs to get a book and come back to read. Feeling slightly guilty, he jumped out of bed and said, "I'm sorry, I fell asleep. You should also lie down."
Lan Wangji said: "It doesn't matter."
At this moment, someone knocked on the door, and the proprietress said outside the door: "You two gentlemen, I have brought food."
Only then did Wei Wuxian realize that it was already midnight. Lan Wangji opened the door, and the tray brought by the landlady indeed contained a wine bottle and two small wine glasses. As he walked in, he said, "Hey, it looks like you've been sleeping all night?"
Wei Wuxian felt more and more guilty and laughed a few times. The landlady put the tray on the table and said, "Where did you two gentlemen come from? It's really tiring if you come out of town to play. You have to have a good rest and be energetic before playing."
Wei Wuxian said casually, "He's from Gusu."
The landlady said: "That's right! No wonder, I would say that handsome people like the two young masters must have been raised in a water town with outstanding people like Jiangnan."
Lan Wangji seemed unaware, Wei Wuxian laughed and said, "If I don't compare with him, he is much more handsome than me."
The landlady said: "He is handsome, you are pretty. They are different, but they are both good-looking! Oh, by the way." She seemed to have remembered something, and then said: "If you come to play, you can go to the one in our Yunping City Go check out the Guanyin Temple."
Wei Wuxian was about to ask her about the Guanyin Temple, but she happened to mention it herself and said, "We have seen the Guanyin Temple during the day. It is rare to see a Guanyin Temple built in the city."
The landlady said: "Yes, I was surprised when I saw it for the first time."
Wei Wuxian asked, "Lady Boss, when did you come to Yunping City?"
The landlady said: "It's been eight years now."
Wei WuXian said, "There was this Guanyin Temple at that time? Have you never heard of why a Guanyin Temple was built in the city?"
The proprietress said: "I don't know about that. Anyway, the Guanyin Temple is very popular. Everyone in Yunping City will go there to pray to Guanyin Bodhisattva for safety no matter what happens. I will also burn a few sticks of incense when I have nothing to do. "
Wei Wuxian said casually, "Why don't you go directly to the immortal cultivating family stationed here?"
After he finished asking, he remembered that the immortal cultivating family stationed here was none other than the Yunmeng Jiang clan?
Unexpectedly, the landlady curled her lips and said, "Looking for them? How dare you."
Wei Wuxian said, "Oh? Why don't you dare?"
The landlady said: "You two gentlemen, you are not from Yunping City, but you don't know that the land in our Yunmeng area is all under the control of the Jiang family. The head of that family has a bad temper, which scares people to death. My family members have told me this a long time ago. , an aristocratic family manages such a large area, and there are nearly a hundred little things happening every day where little ghosts and demons are playing tricks on people. If they immediately send people to deal with each incident, how busy can they be? Anyone who doesn't cause death is not a vicious ghost. Evil spirits, don't bother them with trivial things that are not evil spirits." She said angrily: "What kind of nonsense is this? If you wait until the person is dead to find them, it will be too late!"
In fact, it is almost a tacit rule of the larger aristocratic families that serious incidents such as evil spirits will not occur. The so-called "when there is chaos, there will always be trouble", although it has been praised by everyone for many years, the only one who has truly achieved it is Lan Wangji beside him.
The landlady said again: "Besides, that place at Lotus Pier is too scary. Who dares to go there again?"
Wei Wuxian withdrew his gaze from Lan Wangji's calm profile, was startled, and said, "Lotus Pier is scary? How can Lotus Pier be scary? Have you been there?"
The landlady said: "I have never been to that place. But someone I know went there because of trouble at home. Unfortunately, when he went there, the leader of the Jiang clan was waving a luminous whip in his schoolyard. He was so beaten that his flesh and blood were flying everywhere and he was screaming! A servant kindly told him quietly that the sect master had arrested the wrong person again. He was in a bad mood these days and told him not to bump into him and make him unhappy. He was frightened. I have to put down the gifts I brought and run away, never daring to visit again."
Wei Wuxian had long heard that over the years, Jiang Cheng had been catching ghost monks who were suspected of being reborn, and had taken all of them back to Lotus Pier and tortured them. He thought it was an acquaintance of the landlady who happened to bump into him to vent his hatred. It is not difficult to imagine what kind of ferocious face Jiang Cheng would have at that time. It is no wonder that an ordinary person would run away.
The landlady said: "Also, I heard that another person was also scared away."
Wei Wuxian asked, "What scared you away?" It's unlikely that he would happen to catch Jiang Cheng beating someone again. How diligent is Jiang Cheng in arresting people, and how frequently he beats them up?
The boss's wife said: "No, no. He is also unlucky. That man's surname is Wen, and the sworn enemy of Jiang Sect Master is also surnamed Wen. He hates everyone surnamed Wen in the world, and gnashes his teeth when he sees it. Cramps and skin peeling, how can there be any good color..."
Wei Wuxian lowered his head, pinched his brows, and remained silent. Fortunately, there was no need for him to speak. After talking for so long in one breath, the landlady was satisfied and said: "Have you been delaying your meal for so long? I won't disturb you. I'll go down first. If you have any further instructions, please tell me." That's it."
Wei Wuxian thanked her and sent her out. He turned around and said, "It seems that the matter we want to investigate dates back to eight years ago. Tomorrow we will go find some locals with deep roots to ask."
Lan Wangji nodded slightly, and Wei Wuxian said, "However, I might not be able to find out anything. Eight years is too long, and I can forget a lot of things."
He raised his hand and was about to pour the wine. He hesitated for a moment and immediately warned himself: "Forget it if he doesn't drink. If he does, I will only ask a few questions and never do anything else. I will only ask him what he thinks." . Anyway, he doesn't remember anything when he sobers up... It will never delay anything."
With this assurance to himself, he steadily filled the wine glass with his hand and pushed it in front of Lan Wangji as if nothing had happened. He was already prepared for Lan Wangji not to drink, but he didn't know if Lan Wangji was worried or not, so he picked it up and drank it all without even looking at it.
Wei Wuxian put his wine glass to his lips and stared at the movement over there, consciously or unconsciously. Unexpectedly, he just took a small sip, choked immediately, coughed violently, and thought to himself: "The boss lady is really an honest person. She said that the more energetic the better, she really found such an energetic person. ." But in fact, in the past, he had drank wine that was ten times stronger than this without changing his expression. When he choked this time, it was just because he was distracted. He wiped the drink off his body, and when he looked up again, Lan Wangji had already entered the state as expected.
This time, he fell asleep while sitting on the mat. He was still sitting upright. Except for closing his eyes tightly and lowering his head slightly, there was no difference from his usual sitting posture. Wei Wuxian waved his hand in front of him, but there was no response. Then he felt relieved, stretched out a hand, gently lifted Lan Wangji's chin, and said softly: "It's been suffocating me these past few days. Hanguang-Jun, you have finally fallen into my hands."
The sleeping Lan Wangji raised his face obediently. When this face opened its eyes, because the eyes were very light and cold, it looked very indifferent, with an awe-inspiring and inviolable attitude. But after closing his eyes, the outline became much softer, like a young and handsome jade statue, quiet and serene, which has great attraction to people. The more Wei Wuxian watched, the more fascinated he became. He couldn't help but hold his chin and bring his face closer and closer, until he was too close. He suddenly came back to his senses in the clear and cold sandalwood scent, and felt something bad. , quickly withdrew his hand, and Lan Wangji's head dropped again.
Wei Wuxian's heart was beating wildly. In order to calm down, he rolled on the ground a few times, jumped up, muttered a few calm words silently, and slowly walked back to the opposite side of Lan Wangji. After sitting there for a while, when he woke up, he still wanted to poke his cheek again. After poking twice, he suddenly thought that he had never seen what Lan Wangji looked like when he smiled, so he took the corners of Lan Wangji's mouth and pulled it up with two fingers, trying to see how he smiled. Suddenly, his finger hurt slightly. Lan Wangji opened his eyes and stared at him coldly.
And one of Wei Wuxian's index fingers had been bitten into his mouth.
