Beyond Death

EP 20

Suddenly, the talisman array on the table lit up with purple light,Like the lightning of a summer night, the entire lobby was illuminated,They had to close their eyes to avoid the glare.Even the ghost cultivators on the ground were irritated to half-close their dead fish eyes. After the strong light flashed,The entire talisman array changed from the original blood-red line to a purple-white beam of light,Converging from the edge to the middle,The dementing nails in the middle of the array, the original resentment had been completely dispelled,The remaining black and cyan nails quivered slightly under the squeeze of the beam of light,Making humming sound of roar.Then the nail quivered faster and faster,The roar was getting louder and louder, suddenly the light in the center became dazzling pure white,Covering the nails completely under the white light,Immediately after a loud noise like the intersecting immortal swords,The light dissipated, there was no sound, and everything returned to peace.In the center of the table where dementing nails were originally placed,Only a pile of off-white powder remained. Just now when the talisman array was activated, the spiritual power had stopped transmitting,Lan Wangji still held Wei Wuxian's hand.At this moment, he suddenly felt a bit cold in Wei Wuxian's hand,It seemed to be shaking gently,Wei Wuxian's lips also became frosty white.So he hurriedly helped him sit down and held his hand tightly,Restart sending spiritual power.The piritual power traveled through Wei Wuxian's meridians all over the body,Wei Wuxian's face and lip color returned to normal,He was just a little tired.Wei Wuxian closed his eyes and sat for a while.He signaled Lan Wangji to let go,Then get up to check ghost cultivators. Ghosts cultivators all fell into a coma, accompanied by weak breathing.At least it meant that destroying Dementing Nails didn't take their lives incidentally.Wei Wuxian raised the eyelid of a ghost cultivator,The pupils that were originally covered with white cloudsslowly changed to normal black at a visible speed.Taking a long breath out, Wei Wuxian said, "So dangerous.The noise they made just now almost broke my mind. "Lan Wangji hurriedly touched his forehead.Asked: "How are you now?"Wei Wuxian let his slender fingers rest on his forehead for a while.Then he turned his head, avoiding his fingers without a trace,Said softly: "I am all right."Lan Wangji retracted his hand and curled up his fingers stiffly.Follow Wei Wuxian's eyes to look at those ghost cultivators.They were a little close just now,Some inexplicable emotions breed between them,It was like going back to when they were fighting shoulder by shoulder during the Shooting-sun war,On a night when there was no war, in the evening breeze,Watching Wei Wuxian washed away the remaining blood with a pot of crude wine,Then turned his head and laughed, waving out the dazzling galaxy."It is estimated that in two hours, their souls should return.Then ask more carefully. "Wei Wuxian rested for a while.Clap the dust that didn't exist on hands, and said with relief.Lan Wangji looked at the sky outside through the window paper.Said: "Go upstairs and wait."After a pause, he said: "Members in the Demon Camp are still in the city. "Wei Wuxian understood, the news of his return to the world,Should be an absolute secret,If he went out and wandered around, he must be discovered,At that time, no one knew what kind of storm would come.It was better to be careful now.They went upstairs and returned to the room,Wei Wuxian went around the screen and fell on the couch.Lie on back with hands behind the head,Muttering "So boring!"Lan Wangji sat on the stool beside him,Knowing that Wei Wuxian liked moveing, not being quiet,He must be uncomfortable to be in the room,So he had to make a chat posture and asked:"Then what do you want"Wei Wuxian said mysteriously: "You guess.""Want to drink?" As if he hadn't had time to get through his head,Lan Wangji blurted out these words.Just stunned himself."Haha! How do you know!"Wei Wuxian snapped his fingers, turned over and sat up on the couch.One leg rested on the edge of the couch, another leg dangling underneath,With a face full of eagerness, he closed his eyes slightly,Wrinkled his nose and took an exaggerated deep breath.It was like savoring the aroma of wine.Then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, he said:"I haven't drunk Gusu's famous TianZiXiao wine for many years!"Lan Wangji thought for a while and said:"After this matter finishes, you come back to Gusu with me, I invite you to drink enough."Sincerely, he hadn't thought about it before,Used the wine as a boat to carry Wei Wuxian back to Gusu,Which was much better than reasoning to him seriouslySince he met Wei Wuxian at the age of fifteen,Wei Wuxian's unrestrained behavior,Full of countless pieces that Lan Wangji appreciated,No that abide by the rules and reason!Wei Wuxian sneered and laughed:"Inviting drinking will have end, not funny enough.I simply went to the wine shop to be a non-paid fellow,Just let me drink wine. "Maybe this wish was too good,He smashed his mouth, as if he had already had a good drink,His eyes crooked, like stars jumping out,Lan Wangji's eyes were flashed."Well, if the boss has a daughter,I'll be a door-in-law,Then I have TianZiXiao to drink for the whole life! "Wei Wuxian was still dreaming and didn't notice Lan Wangji's face changing."The owner of the wineshop has only one son and no daughter."The warmth disappeared in Lan Wangji's voice.He stared at Wei Wuxian's face coldly.seemed to make a hole in it.This was obviously a good topic,"Hey, Lan Zhan, why have you become so talkative?"Wei Wuxian didn't care about Lan Wangji's eyesight.He was cheerful, and then asked:"How do you know that the boss doesn't have a daughter? "Wine was forbiddened in Gusu Lan clan,Lan Wangji didn't know where the TianZiXiao winesop was, it was normal;While Lan Wangji not only knew where the wineshop was,But also the members of the boss,It was an eternal fantasy!Lan Wangji said nothing, turned his head away from him,Did not notice that behind teasing smile in Wei Wuxian's eyes,There was surging upset.Suddenly, the door rang three times.Someone was knocking on the door.They quickly exchanged glances,Simultaneously silenced as if they were approaching enemies.Lan Wangji stood up and walked around the screen.Went to the door to open.Far beyond Lan Wangji's expectations,Outside the door was neither the fat bitter-faced shopkeeper,nor the small lean buddy,Nor the domineering Jin ZiXin,but a 14-year-old girl.The little girl was shorter than Lan Wangji's shoulder,Wearing a green shirt and a water blue skirt,The lake green belt was tied in a nice concentric knot,The fabric wass not luxurious,But it was also carefully sewn and worn carefully.She smiled, while childish,having a good look,She made up carefully,Seeming more picturesque, lovely.She held a white porcelain plate in her hand,There were several kinds of pastries in it.Seeing Lan Wangji opened the door, looking at her blankly,The little girl smiled sweetly, and said pretty freshly:"Young Master, I bring you some snack."Without waiting for Lan Wangji to reply, she entered the room by herself.Put the porcelain plate on the table.This behavior was a bit rude, but she was a little girl,It was not good for Lan Wangji to show, but his face grew colder.The little girl put down,She didn't want to leave, while look around,Finally, her eyes fell on Lan Wangji's face.She smiled brightly and said:"Young Master, is the morning snack delicious?I see that you eat them all.I did it all, do you like it? "Lan Wangji had to answer: "It's okay, thank you."Seeing that she had no intention of leaving,He had to speak again: "Anything else?"It was nearly the words that order her go out.But this little girl obviously couldn't understand the meaning of Lan Wangji.Or she understood ,but pretended not to understand,She said: "Young Master, I am the owner's daughter named RuoLan,You can call me Lan Er from now on. "Looking at Lan Wangji's cold face, it seemsed that the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.She smiled very courteously, and added:"My father is a little uncomfortable,I just come to see what you want for lunch here,You can just tell me. "Lan Wangji walked a few steps into the house.Standing in the middle of the screen,Preventing the little girl from suddenly walking inside to see Wei Wuxian.He stood there, just to see Wei Wuxian's actions clearly.Wei Wuxian was still sitting in a daunting posture,As if listening attentively to the conversation between Lan Wangji and the little girl,Seeing Lan Wangji looking at him, raised his eyebrows,He spoke to Lan Wangji silently.The moment Lan Wangji understood that sentence,His ears became red,Gusu Lan's white clothes embroidered with charms almost didn't cover his heartbeat.
