Beyond Death

EP 22

Those ghost cultivators were in a coma,Because the clothes were the same,They looked like strange and terrifying statues,Being abandoned in the carving workshop.Lan Wangji walked up to them,Suddenly a little envious,Sleeping forever like this,Maybe is also a relief.This idea only existed for a moment,Then was broken up without a trace,There might be in Gusu lan's bloodInhumane, noble and alienated,But there had never been cowardice and evasion.Lan Wangji decided to go back to face Wei Wuxian.Although peeling the heart wrapped in the thick cocoon,Even for HanGuang Jun, who had very high cultivation, was almost cruel.But It was not too bad either,When he met Wei Wuxian again yesterday, he had estimated countless times,Which was not better than it was now.The kitchen was in the backyard,Lan Wangji who looked like an immortal,make the cook woman's soul fly into the sky,She held a pair of bowls and chopsticks at a loss,didn't dare to pass it to Lan Wangji in person.Just put it on the stove,She looked at Lan Wangji who took it away in a daze.She just felt that "Thank you" was also a fairy sound from the sky.The room was very quiet,Wei Wuxian sat at the table,Still petrified, no moving.Untill heard Lan Wangji entered the house,He woke up from contemplation,The smile with bright eyes and white teeth was very reluctant,Pretending to be relaxed and said: "HanGuang Jun,You come back. I'm starving to death! "Lan Wangji had restored to the calm face,Just said in a deep voice: "Why don't you eat?"Wei Wuxian smiled and said:"I know you Gu Su Lan clan pays regard etiquette,But you don't have to let me first every time.Since you are like this, of course I can't be too rude,Only wait for you to come back to eat together. "Lan Wangji nodded and replied, "You are welcome."Then he arranged the bowls and chopsticks,Lightly lifted the clothes and took a seat. Wei Wuxian had already taken the bowl of Lan Wangji first.Pressing the rice into it one by one,While saying: "Your clan rule,Don't eat more than three bowls,The bowls here are small, I'm afraid it's not enough.You eat more. "He filled a full bowl of rice and handed it to Lan Wangji."It's a pity that there is no wine." Wei Wuxian said with regret."If it weren't for the ghost cultivators,I really want to get drunk. "Lan Wangji followed the clan rule of being silent when eating,Ate in small bites,Occasionally picked up a small cluster of vegetables wrapped in red oilwithout changing face.While Wei Wuxian ate and talked."Lan Zhan, I remember the last time we ate together,You paid the bill,Now you even pay for the room,I am still a pauper as always. "In the meal, he spoke more naturally,Wei Wuxian kept laughing at himself,For a time, that he burdened everything himself alone,And ended in death, did not exist at all.They were like two old friends who hadn't seen for a long time and talked to each other.Lan Wangji also gradually relaxed his stiff body.In the interval without food in the mouth,He answered a word or two briefly.However, Wei Wuxian said most of the time,He just listened.Listening to Wei Wuxian starting from studying in YunShen,until the end of the Shooting-sun War,These were the past things of they getting along.Putting down the chopsticks, Wei Wuxian said, "Oh,I really didn't expect the Shooting=sun war to end so soon.It was a pity that I didn't face with Wen Ruohan.However, during those days of licking blood on the knife,It was really enjoyable,Although we might die together every day. "He looked directly into Lan Wangji's eyes,There was a strong nasal sound in the voice:"Thank you for saving me countless times."Lan Wangji calmly swallowed the rice.Making sure there was no food in the mouth,Only then slowly answered: "You also saved me.""Haha, if we don't count the number of times, will we even be equal?"Wei Wuxian was joyful again in an instant. "Yeah." Lan Wangji didn't want Wei Wuxian toRegard their relationship of comrades-in-arms or classmates,As an object that could be calculated,Place it on the weighing pan to weigh it."Lan Zhan, you...You are stiff...as usual. "Wei Wuxian narrowed his eyes and sighed with a smile. "Have you finished? I'll call someone to clean up."This topic was very unpleasant,Lan Wangji didn't want to discuss with him further,Stand up. "Don't! Don't call that Ruolan again,Hear her talking to you,My teeth are sour. "Wei Wuxian supported his cheek with his hand,Split one corner of the mouth,So as to keep tearing up to the ear,He gritted his teeth and inhaling,said very exaggeratedly.Lan Wangji glanced at Wei Wuxian.The breath was a little heavier,Reluctantly put the dishes into the tray,Pushed the door out.Just got down to the lobby,He heard a girl voice exclaimed,Ruolan's face was pale, she rushed over in a panic,Seeing Lan Wangjim, she hurriedly hid behind him,Shouting tremblingly"They, they woke up!"She Reached out and pulled Lan Wangji's sleeve.Lan Wangji quietly flicked his sleeves and avoided,Said in low voice: "Retreat to the backyard,Don't come in again! "When Ruolan ran into the backyard,Lan Wangji bolted the back door,Flying across the hall very quickly,Rushed to those ghost cultivators.They just woke up,Someone had stood up one after another,But they were wobbly, and obviously stand unstably.Everyone was pale, without a trace of blood,All of them looked confused.Someone tried to speak,But he opened his mouth wide and made a hoarse guttural sound that was not like a human voice.Lan Wangji reached out to catch the pulse of the nearest person.Couldn't feel anything strange,just the pulse beated faster and weaker,It should be caused by excessive physical energy consumption and weakness.While he was going to ask,Wei Wuxian had come down to the hall,coming quickly.They greeted with their eyes,Wei Wuxian asked, "What is the pulse condition?"Lan Wangji told the truth, Wei Wuxian said:"The dementing nail has been in their acupuncture for too long,It will definitely consume a lot of vitality,Weakness is inevitable when they wake up.They are lucky not to be dead or stupid. "He reached out and probed the person in front of him.Lan Wangji saw that one of them seemed to be stronger than the others.This man had stood firm,The eyes looking at them were fairly normal,So he walked to his side and asked:"How do you feel? Do you remember the past?"The man saw Lan Wangji coming over,At first, he was surprised at the coldness and immortality of Lan Wangji,Then he listened to what he asked,Suddenly he looked very confused,looked down and thought for a long time,Raised the head and barely spit out a few syllables,The voice was extremely hoarse,almost hard to distinguish.But Lan Wangji heard him clearly.Cold sweat broke out on his back instantly,The man said: "YiLing LaoZu! YiLing LaoZu!I was caught by the YiLing LaoZu,Is he here? Is here? "As he spoke, the whole body was shaking,Hold his arms tightly with both hands,He drew back and looked around continuously,Seemed to be panic.Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian looked at each other.Wei Wuxian's chest rose and fell,But he just kept calm and did not speak.Lan Wangji said to that man:"YiLing LaoZu...died three years ago...Did you really see him? "The man was so nervous that he couldn't help but nod,Seeing people in the same dress around,He seemed that the more he looked, the more he was afraid.But his eyes swept across Wei Wuxian in front of him.Did not stay on him for half a minute,Finally, he held his head in both hands and squatted down,Weeping whimper.At this time, more than a dozen people had gradually recovered their sanity.They could speak slowly,For a moment, "Where am I?"Father, mother!" ""What's wrong with me? ""Don't hit me!" "Where is the YiLing LaoZu?""Let me go back!" the noisy words,cries and screams were intertwined,But no one recognized Wei Wuxian.Lan Wangji's heart was even more heavy:These people were obviously taken away under the guise of Wei Wuxian,Being made into puppets,The purpose was to spread the news of Wei Wuxian's return to the world.And Wei Wuxian's himself was here,But no one knew,It could be seen that the person behind the scenes was also quite clear,There were not many people who really knew Wei Wuxian.It is too simpleTo fabricate against Wei Wuxian.But the person behind the scenes spent so much effort,What was the purpose?Was it really just to disturb the heart of the hundreds clans,Profit from chaos?Lanling Jin clan or other clans,Just took advantage of this oppotunity to eradicate dissidents?Wei Wuxian said sadly: "I just said,This is the game against me and there is no solution. "He held the bamboo flute at the waist tightlyTaking a deep look at Lan Wangji, he said:"You can't intervene in this matter,Otherwise, Gusu Lan's good reputation will be destroyed. "Lan Wangji gritted his teeth without answering.Thinking how to deal with.Suddenly, there were chaotic footsteps outside the inn.Dozens of people were coming quickly.In an instant, the harsh sound of "clap, crap" rang,Several door panels were kicked open with their feet.Jin ZiXin's arrogant voice came in:"Enclose them and greet the return of YiLing Laozu!"
