Beyond Death

EP 26

But then there was a rush of footstepsLet them both silent immediately,Someone ran all the way down to the warm attic,Then the stairs sounded,The person had arrived outside the door."HanGuang Jun, HanGuang Jun!" The voice was urgent.They looked at each other,Wei Wuxian hid behind the gauze tent silently.Lan Wangji replied in a deep voice: "What's the matter?"The person outside the door said: "Something happened!Please immediately follow me to the guest room! "Lan Wangji said: "What happened?"He walked to the case and quickly put on the robe,He combed the hair with hands very quickly, tied his hair with a crown,Wear neatly after a while,He looked back, Wei Wuxian had already hidden well.So he took the sword and zitther and opened the door to go out.Outside was a disciple of the Lin clan,Looks terrified, sweaty for walking in a hurry,Seeing Lan Wangji come out, he replied:"HanGuang Jun will know if follow me soon."He turned around and walked downstairs.Lan Wangji thought that Wei Wuxian had heard.Then he closed the door and followed.The disciple trot all the way again,Took Lan Wangji to the direction of guest room.Yesterday, the dozen people who recovered their sanity,Lived in the guest room,Lan Wangji felt more and more inauspicious.He got the courtyard outside the guest room soon,The cultivators all stood outside,A strong smell of blood came out of the gaps in the crowd,Condensed into a dense net above the yard,Everyone smelled like they were wearing bloody clothes.The disciple came with Lan Wangji,The cultivators quietly let go.In the three big guest rooms,The dozen people were dead in miserable conditions, lying everywhere,The sprayed blood splashed on the walls, pillars, and curtains,There was a layer of dark red semi-condensed plasma everywhere,And nowhere to stand on the ground. .Jin Zixin stood among rooms with a pale face.His eyes swept around gloomily,The knuckles on the hilt of the sword were still white,Obviously, his heart was also shocked.Hearing the movement, he turned his head and saw Lan Wangji coming in.Finally couldn't help but blurt out:"The proof you want, okay, let's take a look at this proof now!"He threw all the fright and anger on Lan Wang.Lan Wangji said nothing,Enter the room with a calm face and looked around,These people died in different but extremely tragic way.The murderer had been torturing them aliveto die of running out of blood.But everyone had a deep wound in his throat,Not fatal, it just broke the vocal cords,Made people unable to speak out,So no matter how painful these people were,No screams that people outside could hear.No matter who or what thing had done that,It must be cruel and inhumane,This night, It had licked much blood,Swallowed much skin and flesh.Because the interior was like eighteen layers of hell,Except Jin Zixin, other cultivators stayed outside,All were trembling, there were a few younger ones,Who apparently just vomited,still fell on the ground and couldn't help retching.In order to be different from the residences of other commoners, the house of the Lin clanwere very stylish and the roof beams were also very high.Even the beams of the guest rooms were high.Lan Wangji raised his eyes and looked up.On the roof beams and pillars, there were more than a dozen yellow paper talisman.Lan Wangji leaped from the ground,The white clothes stretched like a double-petaled lotus flower in full bloom,The white boots touched on the pillars in the room,Take advantage of the strength to jump to the top of the pillar on the other side,When he was in mid-air, he stretched his feet on the pillar on this side,continued to jump up to the roof beam. He took off a few talismans and landed lightly,The figure was like moving clouds and flowing water,beautiful and elegant, like a fairy.But Lan Wangji frowned.The handsome face was as cold as winter,He stared closely at the talisman with many doubts in his heart.As expected, these talismans,were extremely insidious Calling-Yin Talisman,Moreover, they were the highest-level.They were painted with human blood instead of cinnabar.Extreme Yin and extreme cold, never seen before.Jin Zixin had already recovered at this time,Seeing the talismans in Lan Wangji's hand, he said coldly:"HanGuang Jun, tYiLing LaoZu came here last night to kill him.He Left these evidences, do you have anything to say now? "Lan Wangji looked at the talismans replied faintly:"These talismans can be drawn by anyone, not necessarily Yiling LaoZu."Jin Zixin said: "YiLing Laozu once used Calling-Yin Talisman,Tortured the Wen cultivators one by one to death in the Shooting-Sun War,It was not different from today.Apart from him, I couldn't think of anyone who was so frantic. "Lan Wangji said: "Xue Yang, the guest of Jin clan,Kill more than 50 people of Liyang Chang clan overnight,The trick was the same. "Jin Zixin was choked and couldn'tknow how to answer.However, people of Jin clan had thicker skin than others.Jin Zixin was no exception.After a short silence, he became aggressive again:"Order ghosts, no one can compare to the Yiling Laozu,Even the same talisman, He will make it more powerful.What a fierce and terrible ghost which made these people die in such way!It can only be him, not someone else! "Lan Wangji raised his head, his eyes as cold as glazed ice.Looking directly at Jin Zixin coldly, he said:"I don't know why Young Master Jin mustincriminate to YiLing LaoZu?Is it because that he has been dead for three years,won't come out to argue anyway? "Jin Zixin snorted and said, "HanGuang Jun,I don't know why you blindly shelter Yiling Laozu? "After that, he raised his head and said to the outside world: "Take in!"A cultivator of Jin clan came in from outside,He glanced at the dead body in the house,Showing uncontrollable nausea,He handed two talismans to Jin Zixin which he had been holding in his hand.Then he hurried out, retching outside the house.Jin Zixin held a talisman in each hand and raised them in front of him.Let Lan Wangji see clearly, and said fiercely:"Does Han Guang Jun recognize these two Talismans?"The two talismans had same rune,The yellow paper was the background, and the human blood was painted instead of cinnabar.Lan Wangji recognized it as sleeping talismans.And the night before, Wei Wuxian initially used them onPeople who died in these rooms now,Later, Lan Wangji used after them failed.When working with Wei Wuxian to restore these people to their sanity,They were torn off and thrown aside.Lan Wangji didn't know why Jin Zixin took out the talisman.He asked: "How about recognizing it?"Jin Zixin sneered:"The talisman in my left hand was once posted onthese people brought back by HanGuang Jun,The one on my right hand was posted last nighton the cultivators of the Demon Camp guarding the guest rooms.Jun Han Guang see clearly please, they are exactly the same.If it were not done by Yiling Laozu who returned,Could it be Hanguang Jun that you did it? "Lan Wangji looked closely and couldn't help but widen his eyes:The rune strokes of the two talismans were indeed drawn by the same person.And it was exactly Wei Wuxian's handwriting.Thousands of thoughts suddenly turned in his mind.In the end, it became such words: impossible!Wei Wuxian spent the whole night with himself last night,Sleeping with him on the same couch,If Wei Wuxian got up and left, he must have known.However, the scene that Wei Wuxian propped up in the morningHanging on his face and watching when he woke up,Suddenly broke into his mind,Let the words "impossible" changed from rock solid to soft and pinchable.If... Wei Wuxian did something to himself,It was not difficult for him to get out in the middle of the night.But this thought was only a moment, and Lan Wangji suppressed it.There was no need to choose at all, between Jin Zixin and Wei Wuxian,Lan Wangji had only one conclusion: trust Wei Wuxian forever.Besides, from the first day they met,Jin Zixin had always claimed that YiLing LaoZu had returned to the world,Today's events seemed to follow Jin Zixin's wishes,It was really a coincidence.
