Wei Wuxian took Wen Ning straight to the Guanyin Temple in the city. During the day, he and Lan Wangji explored the road, and planned to come back at night to investigate more carefully, decipher the formations in the temple, and see what was being suppressed and whether it could be helpful in dealing with Jin Guangyao. Who knew he would I slept until midnight, and something like that happened when I woke up, and the plan was ruined. At this moment, Wei Wuxian felt unhappy all over, and he happened to be looking for bad luck in Jin Guangyao's dark spot.
It was late at night, the lights in every house had been extinguished, and the doors of the Guanyin Temple were closed. Looking from outside the high wall, the courtyard is also dark. But Wei Wuxian climbed up the wall in two steps. Before he could reach the eaves, he suddenly stopped and thought, "That's not right."
Wen Ning also froze and whispered, "We have set a boundary."
Wei Wuxian made a gesture, and the two landed quietly, leaving the gate and walking to a corner at the back of the Guanyin Temple. They carefully climbed up the wall, hiding behind an eaves beast, and then looked into the courtyard.
Seeing this, both of them were stunned.
The Guanyin Temple was brightly lit and full of people. Half are monks, and half are monks wearing gold star snow wave robes. Two groups of people stood mixed together, all holding bows with arrows and swords drawn in their hands. They seemed to be guarding something and were waiting in full formation. They occasionally talked in low voices. It's just that because there are special barriers set up on all sides of the Guanyin Temple, from the street outside the high wall, the Guanyin Temple seems dark and silent, and neither the lights, flames nor human voices inside can be transmitted out.
But what shocked Wei Wuxian was not the barrier, nor the monks and fake monks, but the man in white standing in the center of the courtyard.
Lan Xichen.
Lan Xichen was not bound by anything, and even his sword and Dongxiao Caibing were worn on his waist. He stood so peacefully among the crowd, and these monks and monks were respectful to him. Even Nono should be .
Wei Wuxian observed for a while, then whispered to Wen Ning: "Go back to the inn quickly and bring Hanguang-Jun here right away!"
Wen Ning nodded and disappeared immediately. Wei Wuxian didn't see Jin Guangyao and didn't know if he was here or if the Yin Tiger Talisman was in his hand. He thought about it for a while, bit his finger and put the bloody fingertip towards the mouth of the soul lock bag on his waist. . He originally wanted to lure a few little ghosts to help him summon some evil creatures quietly and silently. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a sound of barking came from the end of the long street outside the Guanyin Temple.
Wei Wuxian was stunned on the spot.
He almost desperately resisted the urge to soar into the sky, trembling and hugging the beast on the wall tightly. Listening to the barking dogs getting closer and closer, he was filled with fear and involuntarily said in his heart: "Help, Lan Zhan." , Lan Zhan, help me!"
After reciting it, I seemed to gain some courage from the name, and I shivered again to force myself to calm down. Wei Wuxian was hoping and hoping that this dog was an ownerless wild dog and that it would get away quickly. Unexpectedly, God was not kind to him. A clear young boy's voice rang out from among the dog's barking, scolding: "Fairy, shut up!" Mouth! Are you going to wake up the whole street in the middle of the night?!"
Jin Ling!
Lan Xichen looked stern. Most of the monks from the Lanling Jin Sect could hear the young master Jin Ling's voice. They winked at each other and strung their bows. Jin Ling's voice came very quickly, and soon he came to the gate of Guanyin Temple and said: "Hush! Hush! Ask me to stew you again! ... Where are you taking me?"
Wei Wuxian's heart was soaring with fear: "Jin Ling, you unlucky kid, why don't you leave quickly!!!"
But Jin Ling stopped outside the Guanyin Temple. The fairy was howling and seemed to be running around on the ground, tearing away the earth and walls. Jin Ling asked curiously: "Is this here?"
After a moment of silence, he knocked on the door and said, "Is anyone there?"
In the courtyard, all the monks were holding their breath and concentrating, arrows on their strings, pointing in the direction of the gate and holding back, as if waiting for instructions. Lan Xichen whispered: "Don't hurt him!"
His voice could not reach the boundary of Guanyin Temple, and the others did not relax their vigilance or put down their bows and arrows. Jin Ling seemed to have noticed something was wrong. Even if there was no night watchman in the temple, he just banged on the door so loudly that it would have woken up even those who were sleeping. There should not have been any movement at all. So, he stopped talking outside the door. Before Wei Wuxian could relax, suddenly, another wave of barking came from outside the wall, and Jin Ling said angrily: "Hey, why are you running back again?!"
Wei Wuxian was overjoyed: "What a fairy!!!"
Jin Ling said: "Fairy! Come back! Damn it!"
Wei Wuxian thought to himself: "Little Ancestor, hurry up and leave with it!!! Please!!!"
Unexpectedly, a moment later, there was an undetectable sound of gray stone falling. Before Wei Wuxian could figure out what the movement was, for a moment, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: "Oh no, this kid is climbing the wall!"
Over there, as soon as Jin Ling came up, he saw bows and arrows all over the yard pointing at him, and his pupils suddenly shrank. And a monk, who had probably never seen Jin Ling before, or was determined to silence all intruders, let go of his arrow and flew out in Jin Ling's direction!
Listening to the sharp sound of breaking the wind, Wei Wuxian knew that the archer was a master. If Jin Ling was hit by this arrow, his chest would be penetrated to the bone. There was only one thing at hand that he could block immediately. In desperation, Wei Wuxian jumped up to the wall, threw his hand, and shouted at the same time: "Jin Ling, run!"
What he threw out was the bamboo flute that he had kept with him since his rebirth. The menacing arrow was blocked by it and missed the direction. The bamboo flute also fell into pieces. Jin Ling's figure disappeared on the wall, he must have run away. But now Wei Wuxian's hiding place was also exposed. Hundreds of feather arrows flew in like a rainstorm, and shot the eaves beast that Wei Wuxian used to hide himself into a hedgehog. Wei Wuxian was heartbroken. None of these people have bad archery skills, and their cultivation is certainly not bad either. Whether Jin Ling can escape successfully is still a question. He jumped off the wall, made a circle with his fingers and was about to blow the whistle, when a voice suddenly sounded behind him and said with a smile: "I advise Mr. Wei not to do it. It's okay if the flute is cracked. If the fingers or tongue are gone, then it's okay." But it's sad."
Wei Wuxian immediately stopped his hand and agreed, "What you said makes sense."
The man said: "Please?"
Wei Wuxian nodded and said, "Sect Master Jin, you're welcome."
Jin Guangyao smiled and said, "It should be."
As if nothing had happened, they made a big detour and walked to the Guanyin Temple. Wei Wuxian was speechless for a while.
The gate of Guanyin Temple had been opened, and Jin Ling did not escape as expected. Several monks pointed swords at them. He looked at them, hesitated for a moment, and called out: "Uncle."
Jin Guangyao said: "Hello, Aling."
Chapter 99 Hate Life Chapter 21 2
Jin Ling went to look at Wei Wuxian secretly again. There was no dog beside him, so Wei Wuxian could gather his three souls and seven souls. He said with a headache: "You kid... why are you here so late with a dog?"
Little did he know that after he, Lan Wangji, and Wen Ning left Lotus Pier by boat, Jin Ling secretly went to look for him, but there was no trace of him, so he went around arresting people and having them plucked out because of his madness. The uncle who broke the sword lost his temper, pointed at his nose and cursed that it was because of him that Wei Wuxian ran away, but Jiang Cheng slapped him to the ground. So, Jin Ling didn't stop doing anything, and took the fairy to track Wei Wuxian. As expected, the fairy lived up to her expectations and accurately tracked Wei Wuxian's scent to the vicinity of the Guanyin Temple. However, when Jin Ling knocked on the door, she suddenly noticed the murderous aura lurking inside the door. She suddenly changed direction, biting the owner's clothes and barking a warning. . However, this Guanyin Temple was a little weird, and Jin Ling felt that even if Wei Wuxian wasn't here, he still had to see what was going on, and it ended up falling into the hands of the enemy.
Of course, Jin Ling could never tell the truth, so he just snorted.
Jin Guangyao led several people into the temple. Just as the door was about to close, he turned to his subordinates and asked, "Where is the spirit dog?"
A monk said: "That black-maned spirit dog is very ferocious. It bites people when it catches them. However, the subordinates failed to do their best and let it run away."
Jin Guangyao said: "Chase him and kill him. This spirit dog is very smart. It will be difficult to handle if it attracts people."
"yes!"
The monk raised his sword and went out, closing the door. Jin Ling was extremely shocked and blurted out: "Do you really want to kill it? You gave the fairy to me!"
Jin Guangyao didn't answer but asked: "Aling, what are you doing here?"
Jin Ling glanced at Wei Wuxian and hesitated to answer. Suddenly, Lan Xichen said: "Sect Master Jin, Jin Ling is still a child."
Jin Guangyao looked at him and said, "I know."
Lan Xichen said: "And he is your nephew."
Jin Guangyao laughed dumbly. He said: "Second brother, what are you thinking? Of course I know that Jin Ling is a child and my nephew. What do you think I will do? Kill him and silence him?"
Lan Xichen remained silent. Jin Guangyao shook his head and said to Jin Ling: "Aling, you heard me. If you run around or scream, maybe I will do something terrible to you. You can figure it out yourself. ."
Jin Ling has always had a very good relationship with this young uncle. Jin Guangyao used to dote on him, and he looks so cheerful now, but now, it is difficult for Jin Ling to look at him with the same eyes as before. He walked silently to Wei Wuxian and Lan Xichen, looking honest and honest.
Jin Guangyao turned around and said, "Haven't you dug it yet? Tell the people inside to move faster!"
A monk responded: "Yes!" He picked up his sword and rushed back to the Guanyin Hall.
Only then did Wei Wuxian notice that there were overlapping sounds of earth and rocks coming from the last Guanyin main hall. It seemed like many people were digging. He thought to himself, "What is he digging? Tunnel? Yinhu Talisman? Being suppressed." Something you're wearing?"
Jin Guangyao said: "Speaking of which, I haven't asked yet, how did Mr. Wei know this place? Don't tell me that you and Hanguang Jun happened to come here while traveling."
Wei WuXian said, "Lian Fangzun hid a large copy of the land deed in the secret room of Fang Fei Palace, and kept it with my manuscript. Don't you remember?"
Jin Guangyao said: "Ah, that was my negligence. They should be separated."
Wei WuXian said: "Anyway, we can't find the palm of your hand right now. Can Lianfangzun tell me what is in the Guanyin Temple to satisfy my curiosity?"
Jin Guangyao smiled and said: "The price of satisfying curiosity is not low. Mr. Wei, are you sure you want to try it?"
Wei Wuxian said, "Oh. Let's not try it for now."
At this time, Lan Xichen walked up to him. Only then did Wei Wuxian notice that the sword on Lan Xichen's waist was unsheathed for an inch. However, no light came to him. He said, "Jun Zewu, what are you doing?"
Lan Xichen said: "Ashamed. I was deceived by others, fell into the trap, and lost all my spiritual power. Even if Shuo Yue and Cai Bing are with me, they can't help."
Wei WuXian said, "Why be ashamed? After all, lying is Lian Fangzun's specialty."
Recalling the scene in Empathy where Meng Yao faked suicide to plot against Nie Mingjue, and then thinking about the news that "Lian Fangzun was seriously injured", it is not difficult to guess how Lan Xichen lost his spiritual power.
Jin Guangyao ordered several monks: "Deploy a formation. When Hanguang-Jun comes over later, he can block every one."
Wei WuXian asked, "How are you so sure that Lord Hanguang will definitely come?"
He was still thinking about whether or not he should tell a lie to make Jin Guangyao relax his vigilance. Who knows, Jin Guangyao seemed to have read his thoughts, smiled slightly, and said: "Of course he will come. Since Mr. Wei, you have set your sights on this Guanyin Temple, Hanguang Lord will naturally not know that there is something fishy here." .Does Mr. Wei think that I will believe him when he says he is not with you?"
Wei Wuxian said, "Smart man."
Lan Xichen said: "Master Wei, since Wangji is nearby, why am I not with you?"
Wei Wuxian said, "We're going to split up."
Lan Xichen was stunned and said, "I heard that you came down from the mass grave and were injured. How could he separate from you at this time?"
Wei Wuxian said, "Who did you listen to?"
Jin Guangyao said: "I said so."
Wei Wuxian glanced at him and said to Lan Xichen, "That's right. I couldn't sleep tonight, so I was walking outside the inn, and I bumped into this place by chance. Lord Hanguang lives in another room, and he doesn't know I `m coming out."
Jin Guangyao was surprised: "You live in two rooms?"
Wei Wuxian said, "Who told you that we would definitely share a room?"
Jin Guangyao smiled and said nothing, Wei Wuxian said: "Oh, I know." Lan Xichen said.
Wei WuXian said, "You guys really don't talk about anything."
Lan Xichen didn't mean to joke at all, and said, "Mr. Wei, has something happened to you?"
The warm smile on his face disappeared and turned serious, looking more like Lan Wangji. But Wei Wuxian didn't understand why he had such a big reaction. He originally felt guilty and said: "Sect Master Lan, what can happen to us? We should deal with this person first."
He glanced at Jin Guangyao, and after his reminder, Lan Xichen said, "I was impatient. I'm sorry."
Jin Guangyao smiled and said, "It seems there is something wrong. It's not a small problem."
Wei Wuxian sneered, "Now that all the sects are going to attack you, Lian Fangzun is very leisurely, right? Do you still have time to worry about others? Do you talk a lot?"
Jin Guangyao said: "I don't dare, I'm just sighing. Hanguang-Jun has been working hard for so many years, but he still hasn't achieved enlightenment to this day. Not only does Sect Master Lan have reason to be anxious, but he also can't bear to stay out of it."
Wei Wuxian looked at him sharply: "What do you mean by perseverance? What do you mean by cultivation?"
Hearing this, Jin Guangyao and Lan Xichen were both surprised. Both of them looked at his expression carefully, as if they were trying to see if he was pretending to be stupid on purpose. Wei Wuxian's heart suddenly beat wildly, as if something that had been dead for half the night was gradually coming to life in his chest. He forced himself to calm down and said, "What do you mean?"
Jin Guangyao said: "What do I mean, Mr. Wei, do you really not understand or do you pretend that you don't understand? Regardless of whether it is true or not, if Lord Hanguang hears this, it will be a bit hurtful."
Wei Wuxian said, "I really don't understand. Just tell me!!!"
Lan Xichen said in astonishment: "Master Wei, don't tell me that you have been with Wangji for so long and you don't know anything about his feelings?"
Wei Wuxian grabbed him and almost knelt down to beg him to speak clearly once and for all: "Sect Master Lan, Master Lan, you, what do you think Lan Zhan thinks, what does he think?! Is it, is it..."
Lan Xichen jerked his hand away and said in disbelief: "It seems that you really know nothing, but have you forgotten how those whip marks on his body came from? Didn't you see the brand on his chest? ?"
Wei Wuxian said: "Stop the whip marks?!" He grabbed Lan Xichen again and said: "Lan Xichen, I really don't know. Please tell me, where did those wounds on his body come from? Are you following me? Is it related?!?"
Lan Xichen's face turned sulky and he said, "It's not related to you. Could it be that he got it up for no reason?"
Mr. Zewu has always been very nurturing, but when it comes to Lan Wangji, he is really angry. But after taking a closer look at Wei Wuxian's expression, his anger subsided slightly, and he asked tentatively: "You... have memory loss?"
Wei Wuxian asked, "My memory?" He immediately tried his best to think of something he had forgotten, and said, "I don't remember when I had... memory!"
He does have a vague memory.
The bloodbath lasts forever!
That night that year, he thought that Wen Qing and Wen Ning's siblings had been crushed to ashes. After seeing the impassioned crusade of the major families, and even witnessing Jiang Yanli's death in front of him, he finally got mad and merged. The Yin Tiger Talisman, let it go on a killing spree. The people killed by the dead controlled by this tiger charm turned into new vicious corpses, thus creating an endless stream of killing puppets, creating a blood-smeared hell.
Afterwards, although Wei Wuxian could barely hold on to his feet, he vaguely felt that he had left this ruined city that looked like a slaughterhouse, but he was unconscious for a long time. When he woke up, he had been sitting under the Yiling mass grave for a long time.
Lan Xichen asked: "Do you remember?"
Wei Wuxian murmured: "That time in the Evernight Sky? I, I always thought I walked back in a daze, could it be..."
Lan Xichen was so angry that he almost laughed: "Young Master Wei! How many people did you oppose on that night? Three thousand people! No matter how extraordinary you are, you escaped unscathed in such a situation. ?How can it be!"
Wei Wuxian said, "Lan Zhan...Lan Zhan, what did he do?"
Lan Xichen said: "If you don't remember what Wangji did, I'm afraid he will never tell you for eternity, and you won't ask. Well, let me tell you."
He said: "Master Wei, that night, you sacrificed two halves of the Yin Tiger Talisman and merged them into one. After killing enough people, you were already at the end of your strength. Wangji was injured by you when you went crazy, and his condition is better than yours. It wasn't much, but he struggled to hold on, relying on Bichen to barely stand firm. Even so, as soon as he saw you staggering away, he immediately followed you.
"Not many people present were still conscious at that time, and I could hardly move. I could only watch Wangji, whose spiritual power was almost exhausted, limply catch up with you, catch you, and take Bichen with you. , and left together with their swords.
"Two hours later, I recovered my spiritual power and rushed back to the Gusu Lan Sect to seek support. I was worried that if someone from other families caught up with you first, Wang might be regarded as your accomplice, which would at least leave a lifelong stain on your reputation. The damage was serious, or the worst was to be shot without mercy, so together with my uncle, we selected thirty-three seniors who had admired Wangji in the past, and secretly searched for you with swords for two days before we found traces of you in Yiling. Wangji Hiding you in a cave. When we arrived, you were sitting blankly on a stone in the cave. Wangji was holding your hand, sending spiritual power to you, and kept talking to you in a low voice.
"And from beginning to end, you repeated the same word to him.
"'roll'!"
Wei Wuxian's throat was dry and hoarse, his eyes were red, and he couldn't say a word. Lan Xichen said: "My uncle suddenly appeared in front of him, scolded him, and asked him to explain. He seemed to have expected that we would find him, but he said that there was nothing to explain, that's it. Ever since he was a child, he has never I have never contradicted my uncle or me. But for you, Wangji not only contradicted him, but also fought swords with the monks from the same lineage of the Gusu Lan Sect, seriously injuring all the thirty-three seniors we invited... "
Wei Wuxian put his hands into his hair and said, "...I, I don't know...I really..."
Apart from repeating that he really didn't know, he couldn't say anything else. Lan Xichen held back for a while, then said: "Thirty-three whip marks! All punished at once, one person at a time. You should know how painful it is when you hit your body, and how long you have to lie down! He is determined to send you back to chaos. After the burial, he came back sadly to receive his punishment, and how long he knelt in front of the disciplinary stone! When I went to see him, I said to him, Mr. Wei has made a big mistake, why bother adding more mistakes to your mistakes. But he said... he couldn't He asserts whether what you did is right or wrong, but no matter whether it is right or wrong, he is willing to bear all the consequences with you. In those few years, it was said that he was thinking about his mistakes, but it was simply too serious to do anything. Even so, after learning that you were dead , he also forced himself to drag such a body, no matter what, he must go to the mass grave to take a look...
"When he rescued you and hid you in the cave, no matter how he spoke to you or looked at you, even if he was blind or deaf, it would be impossible for him not to understand what he was thinking. That's why my uncle was furious. Wangji, he When I was a child, I was a role model for my children. When I grew up, I was a famous person in the immortal family. I was elegant and upright throughout my life. The only mistake I made in this life was you! But you said... but you said you didn't know. Mr. Wei, you were sacrificed. After you came back, how did you express your love to him in every way? Every night...every night...you said you didn't know? If you didn't know, why did you do these things?"
Wei Wuxian really wanted to go back to those moments in the past and kill himself. It's precisely because he doesn't know that he dares to do these things!
He suddenly felt very terrible. If Lan Wangji didn't know that he didn't remember anything about the days when the Nightless Queen was slaughtered in his previous life, and if he thought he had always known his thoughts, then what would he have done after he came back?
In the beginning, he did all the scandalous things with such an exaggerated attitude, just to make Lan Wangji disgusted with him as soon as possible, throw him into the unknown place of Izumo, and then the two would go their separate ways without seeing each other. It was impossible for Lan Wangji not to see what his true attitude was. But even so, he still... insisted on protecting himself by his side, preventing Jiang Cheng from getting close to him or making things difficult for him. Answer every question, ask for anything, indulge in every possible way, and be tolerant in every way. In the face of Wei Wuxian's various tricks, which can be called bad teasing, he can still restrain himself and be polite and never go out of his way.
So when he suddenly pushed me away in the inn just now, could it be because... he thought it was his more wanton whim?
Wei Wuxian really couldn't think about it any more. He rushed out of the Guanyin Temple, and several monks immediately stopped in front of him. Jin Guangyao said: "Master Wei, I can understand your excitement..."
At this moment, Wei Wuxian just wanted to rush back to the inn, rushed to Lan Wangji, told him his feelings incoherently, struck down the two monks who were trying to twist him, and roared: "You can't understand it! "
With this palm strike, seven or eight people rushed forward. Wei Wuxian's vision suddenly went dark. Jin Guangyao insisted on finishing his words at the side: "...I just want to tell you, there is no need to run so fast. Guangjun, he is already here."
A ray of ice-blue sword light descended from the sky, roaring sharply, forcing all the figures surrounding Wei Wuxian to retreat and take them back into the hands of one person. Lan Wangji landed silently in front of the Guanyin Temple and glanced at him. His expression was the same as before, but Wei Wuxian was nervous for a while, and what he was about to say suddenly shrank into a ball in his stomach. After a spasm, he could only murmur: "...Lan Zhan."
Just now, Jin Ling was stunned when he heard Lan Xichen's words. At first glance, he was overjoyed when he saw Lan Wangji coming, but when he looked at the eyes he and Wei Wuxian were looking at, his expression turned strange again. Jin Guangyao sighed: "Look, I said, if Mr. Wei is here, Lord Hanguang will definitely come."
Lan Wangji held Bichen's wrist and flipped it, and just as he was about to make a move, Jin Guangyao smiled and said, "Hanguang-Jun, you'd better take five steps back."
Wei Wuxian suddenly felt a sharp, subtle pain in his neck. Lan Xichen whispered to him: "Be careful. Don't move!"
Lan Wangji's eyes were fixed on Wei Wuxian's neck, his face turning pale.
An imperceptible light golden string was tied between Wei Wuxian's throat.
