Changing Fate (Wangxian FanFic)

Cleanse, Possess, and Disperse

"Lan Zhan, do you remember what happened last Time here in Tiannu Temple? I don't have much knowledge but I know you do."

"Last time, the Wen's got the Yin Iron first, but now it is still here. It is placed on the deity's chest. How to get it without her getting corrupted is another story," I answered him.

"Hmm," Wei Ying looked at Chenqing.

Chenqing no longer was considered a ghost flute. He has been cleansed and has the ability to cleanse and purify. It has a lot of other effects I am sure, but I do not know them yet.

"You can try Chenqing, I don't know what you can do though," I told him.

He nodded and placed Chenqing to his lips. He played something that I have not heard before. It was calm but a bit eerie. It didn't seem to be dark or have any resentment to it. It was almost like it was speaking to the fairy statue. The statue moved to face us, and handed over the Yin Iron peacefully.

I put it in the Qiankun bag without taking my eyes off the statue. She started glowing green and little green bubbles bloomed off of her. They all floated towards the exit of the temple and popped once it was outside. Once they popped, green glitter like substance blew away with the gentle breeze.

"What did you just do?" I asked Wei Ying after he stopped playing.

"It is kind of like a cleansing but allowing the souls to rest and be free to pass to the other side. It was also a manipulative piece so that the statue allowed us to have the iron," Wei Ying explained, "it is something that I researched back in Cloud Recesses. I don't know if your brother has done that before."

"I don't think so, I've seen him play plenty of times and I have not once heard him play that," I told him, "I liked it though. How do you feel?"

"I feel...good," he said, "almost as if I was meant to do something like that. No resentment just sending peace to unresting souls."

I smiled at him, "you always have wanted to stand for justice and aid the weak. Just as I do."

He smiled back at me, "let's go, I know we go to the cave during the indoctrination but what if we went beforehand? Wen Chao won't know who went there as we have been laying low fairly well. Plus we have swords and our instruments this time," he said.

"I agree with you," I told him, "the one at the Chang residence would be in Sect Leader Nie's possession now, as we were not there this time."

Wei Ying nodded, "let's go," he said.

We left the temple and hopped onto our swords. We spent a good amount of time searching for the cave but we eventually found it. Wei Ying was not pushed down this time and we were not held captive.

"There he is," Wei Ying said looking at the rock like shell popping out of the water, "the sword inside is dangerous, I wonder if we should kill him before going into the shell?"

"It might be better that way," I told him, "that way we can go in peacefully and not have to worry too much. Plus we can cleanse the sword enough to put it in a pouch."

Wei Ying nodded, "so, chord assassination? And how do we lure him out again?"

"He was lured out because you were holding Wen Chao captive in his shell. He must have felt you on him."

"I want to try Chenqing again," he said.

I let him be as he played the song that he played back at the temple. Instead of glowing green, Xuanwu glowed an orange like color. I could see the amount of souls coming from his shell, and there were a lot. Once all of the souls were gathered into hundreds of little bubbles, the left for the cave entrance and dispersed at the exit. Xuanwu's head came from the pond and looked at us. His eyes were orange and looked as if he was possessed by Chenqing.
