Beyond Death

EP 43

Lan Wangji woke up, remembering the eyes that Wei Wuxian was looking at him before leaving.There was unwillingness, reluctance, and sorrow in that short glance,Being like a blunt knife cutting his chest.When Wei Wuxian disappeared, his heart died again. The wick exploded with a slight noise,Lan Wangji's breathing was stagnant.He vaguely felt that he was finally in Wei Wuxian's eyes,Captured a passing expectation.After the heart died, the endless void had the first throbbing,Then like weeds growing wild in the wind,Disorganized but vibrant.An idea spreaded wildly in every meridian in his body:"Wei Ying did not die!"This unfounded guess was so firm in the chest,Invincible fighting spirit was born.Lan Wangji condensed his mind, and the seven-string zitther sounded,After the song "Asking the Spirit" was played, there was no answer.Lan Wangji increased his spiritual power and played it again.Still no response.Suddenly he heard noisy voices,Seven or eight people had come to the door,The shopkeeper accompanies the Patriarch Lin,And a few middle-aged men who looked like rich gentry in Nanping City,They bowed at the door and entered the room. It turned out that all the corpses outside the city were wiped out,By the evening the people in the city had already known one after another.Patriarch Lin and other big families rushed over.Waiting for Lan Wangji to wake up below,Thanked him for saving the city in person.?Lan Wangji did not hear the endless greetings of admiration.He was thinking about the meaning of what Wei Wuxian said when he left.Suddenly the shopkeeper asked: "HanGuang Jun,Did the Young Master in black left first? "The chest was like being beaten with a heavy hammer,Lan Wangji frowned slightly,He didn't want to elaborate, just answered: "Yes."Patriarch Lin heard Lan Wangji's answer.In high spirits, he quickly picked up the conversation and said:"I heard that the young master was the famous Yiling Laozu?"Although Lan Wangji didn't want to answer,But he was pleased with the respect of Patriarch Lin to Wei Wuxian,He had to say again: "Yes."A wealthy man rushed and said: "Hey, I have met, I have met!was he very handsome,in black-cloth and a flute with a red ear on his waist? "The shopkeeper nodded and said: "Yes!Where have you seen him? "Lan Wangji ignored any demeanor.Stepped forward to the rich man,A pair of eyes burned like fire,Staring at him and asking:"Where did you see him?!""I came from the north gate,I saw such a young man on the road,At first glance, he was not one of us here,And he was so handsome,I couldn't help but glanced more. ""Where did he go?"Lan Wangji's blood almost rushed to his brain,His eyes were red, and his voice was trembling. The wealthy man was a little frightened by Lan Wangji's look.Not very eloquent,"Go, go north,He seemed, seemed to be going out of city. "Lan Wangji hurriedly said, "Good bye!"Brought the zitther and sword,Rushing out of the room like the wind,He was surprise and happy,He didn't want to think about when the rich man met.Was that person Wei Wuxian??When he rushed all the way to the north gate,Watched everyone on the road ,There was no shadow of Wei Wuxian at all.Lan Wangji saw the entrance of the city gate from a distance,The bolt was still fastened on the gate,There is no sign of opening. His expecting full of the heart was extinguished by cold water,The heart was filled with tons of water, extremely suffocating,Lan Wangji knew that the man must not be Wei Wuxian.If it were him, he would not leave without saying goodbye,Not to mention he himself seeing him disappear,Obviously, he was attacked by extremely high level and cold spell.?This person dressed as Wei Wuxian,Now after a series of major events,Appeared in Nanping City,He must habe something to do with the person behind the scenes.Jiang liu who gave him Wei Wuxian's manuscript was the most suspicious.But to complete these many layouts,It was also impossible himself alone,Unless he cooperated with a certain clan.After thinking over and over, although Lan Wangji knew that it had no results,He decided to try "Asking spirits"again tolook for the whereabouts of Wei Wuxian.He drove the sword to fly up to the tower,Pull out the zitther.When "Asking the Spirit" came out,Souls were invited. As expected,None of souls being invited in succession,knew where Wei Wuxian was.Lan Wangji put the zitther on his back,Sitting on the wall for a while.This man in black who resembled Wei Wuxian was Jiangliu.Wei Wuxian's disappearance was also very likely to be related to him.But his whereabouts was erratic,And his behavior was strange,Where could he find in the vast world??When he spent a few days with Wei Wuxian,There were countless opportunities to expose Jiang Liu's lies,To investigate the purpose behind him,But because of his own selfishness,Always reluctant to mention,Causing now at a loss.Lan Wangji thought about it again,This man made up a set of rhetoric with few flaws to gain his trust,And gave Wei Wuxian's manuscript to himself,Also said that there must be contact,After so much effort,Then he must show up one day.Wish to step on the swords, swim in the fire,As long as he can find a little whereabouts of Wei Wuxian.Since determined and settled,Lan Wangji closed his eyes and recalled the last words Wei Wuxian said.Looking back at the past few days after reuniting with Wei Wuxian,Half sad and half regret.Only now did he realized that the way Wei Wuxian looked at himself,Every word said to him,were full of unspeakable affection,If he didn't believe in others and could let go of pride,he should have realized that his affection was the same as his own.As hot as fire, as deep as the sea.A smell of fishy sweetness rose from the throat,Lan Wangji blamed himself for countless times:If he had confessed to Wei Wuxian earlier,Even if they couldn't solve the game in this city,At least they could face together,Instead of Wei Wuxian destroying himself,Disappeared without knowing alive or dead.But what made Lan Wangji unable to let go in the heart,was that he had thought he had reached the peak of love,While Wei Wuxian was the one who sacrificed himself.?After sitting on the wall for more than half an hour,The East sky had turned white,Lan Wangji estimated thatGusu Lan's reinforcements should arrive soonAfter one day and one night,Sure enough, near 5 O'clock,Countless thin white lines from the north were coming quickly,Approaching the city gate soon.Hundreds of cultivators hovered in the air outside the tower,The leader was Lan Qiren.Lan Wangji met Lan Qiren's eyes,Each had mixed feelings,Under the calm face, the undercurrent of the turbulent waves were surging.?Lan Wangji bowed when Lan Qiren landed.After Lan Qiren commanded the cultivators to land and ordered the affairs,He walked over and explained in detail what he had experienced in the past few days.Except for skipping the inconvenient details with Wei Wuxian,Let Lan Qiren fully understand a series of strange events in Nanping City. "Wei Wuxian really forged the Yin Tiger Talisman to save the civilians in the city,Althought he knew that he would be destroyed? "Lan Qirenming knew that Lan Wangji would not lie,This questioning was really inappropriate,But he was shocked by Wei Wuxian's behavior.So he asked again specifically. Lan Wangji replied: "Yes."Neither sad nor happy, neither full nor empty,Just like a calm lake.Lan Qiren touched his beard and sighed.Said: "He is a rare person."In fact, there was a hint of admiration for Wei Wuxian.The insects were all struggled for lives,Wei Wuxian died with no whole body in the last life,While had not live a few days in this life, he was willing to be backlashed by grievances in order to save others.He died again, brave and benevolent,He was worthy of the word "'rare".Lan Qiren kept looking at Lan Wangji's expression,Didn't understand why his expression was so plain,He was worried about Lan Wangji more.Lan Wangji knew Lan Qiren's concerns,But since he believed Wei Ying was not dead,He would look for him for the rest of his life,What's more, there is a force telling himself in the dark,That this day was not far away.
