Chapter 29 Morning Dew Seventh 2

The waiter said: “Don’t worry, I was about to say it. They were all dead. The escape I said was temporary. A few years later, the owner Chang Ping died. This time, the death was even more frightening. He was killed by Ling Chi with a sword! How did Ling Chi die? I don’t need to tell you. He just used a knife and a sword to slash the body with 3,600 knives, until all the flesh was chopped off and only the bones were left…”

Of course Wei Wuxian didn’t know what Ling Chi was. If he wanted to write a book called “Thousands of Tragic Deaths”, no one would be more qualified to write it than he. He raised his hand and said, “I understand. Brother, do you know why the Chang family was exterminated?”

The clerk said: “I heard that it was deliberately designed by fellow cultivators. That’s for sure! Otherwise, how could a group of big living people, who are still good at cultivating immortals, not be able to escape? They must have been trapped inside by something or someone.”

The owner of the wine shop was afraid that we would not be happy chatting, so he also brought us two small plates of peanuts and melon seeds.Wei Wuxian nodded in thanks and continued to ask while eating melon seeds, “Have you found out what or who it is?”

The clerk laughed and said, “Young master, isn’t this a joke? How do we, who are just messing around trying to make a living, know anything about those uncles flying around in the sky? You are all cultivating immortals, so you should know better than me. I only vaguely heard that it seems to have offended people who shouldn’t be offended! Anyway, since then, no one has cared about the monsters and ghosts in this place in Lieyang.”

Wei WuXian thought to himself, “The person who shouldn’t be offended?”

“Not bad, not bad.” The boy ate two peanuts: “The grievances and grievances between these aristocratic families and sects are also very complicated. I thought that the Chang family must have been targeted by other immortal cultivators. Killing people and seizing treasures is not a common thing. Those storytellers said so, and the romance novels also said so. Although I don’t know who it is, it seems to be related to a very famous big devil.”

Wei Wuxian smiled and put the wine bowl to his lips, squinting at he: “I guess you’re saying you don’t know who this big devil is?”

The man was happy: “You are wrong. I know this. It seems that the old monster is called… Oh, ancestor, Yiling ancestor!”

Wei Wuxian choked and spit out a bunch of bubbles in the wine bowl: “What?”

He again?!

The waiter said with certainty: “Yes, that’s right! The surname is Wei, and it seems that the name is Wei Wuqian. When other people mention he, they sound hateful and afraid!”

“…”

Wei Wuxian thought over and over and became convinced of two things: first, he had never been to Yueyang before his death; second, none of the people he killed was killed by he Lingchi.He felt ridiculous and turned to look at Lan Wangji, as if he wanted to ask for an explanation.Lan Wangji waited for he to look at him for a long time and said, “Let’s go.”

Wei Wuxian immediately understood that Lan Wangji had something to say about this, and it was not convenient to say it in front of others in a restaurant.He stood up and said: “Then let’s go first, check out… settle it, right? Little brother, let’s keep the wine we bought here for now, and we can come back and continue drinking after we finish our work.” He said half-jokingly: “We can’t default on the bill.”

The waiter had already finished most of the plate of peanuts and shouted: “How can we! We are a good shop. You can just leave it here and we will not close the shop until you come back. Hey, you two gentlemen, are you going to Changzhai now? Wow, this is amazing, even my locals have never been there! I only dared to peek from a distance, are you two going in? What are you going to do?”

Wei WuXian said, “We are just taking a sneak peek from a distance.”

This little guy has a lively personality and is very familiar with himself. After talking for a while, he no longer treats him as an outsider. He comes closer to put an arm on Wei Wuxian’s shoulders: “Is it hard for you two to do this? Do you earn a lot? It must be a lot! It’s so respectable. Let me ask you something, is it difficult to get started? I…”

He was rambling, and suddenly closed his mouth, looked over there fearfully, and whispered: “Sir, what is the guy next to you…glaring at me for?”

Wei Wuxian followed he’s gaze and happened to see Lan Wangji turn around and get up, walking towards the outside of the restaurant.He said: “Oh, he, my friend has been raised strictly since he was a child, and he doesn’t like to see people hugging each other in front of him. Isn’t it a bit weird?”

The waiter took his hand back angrily and said in a low voice: “It’s weird. Looking at his look, someone who didn’t know it thought the person I was hooking up with was his wife…”

With Lan Wangji’s hearing power, it was absolutely impossible to lower his voice and not hear it. I wonder what he felt at this moment.Wei Wuxian couldn’t help but laugh and feel hurt, and hurriedly said to the waiter, “I’ve finished the whole jar.”

Guy: “What?”

Wei Wuxian pointed to himself: “Stand.”

Only then did the young man remember what he had said, “If you can still stand up after drinking, I will tell you your last name.” He hurriedly said, “Oh oh… oh oh oh! This is… amazing! I’m not bragging. This is the first time I’ve seen someone drink a jar and stand firm without getting tongue-tied. What’s your last name, sir?”

Wei Wuxian said, “I…” Then he thought about what the guy said earlier, “Wei Wuqian.” He twitched the corner of his mouth and calmly added, “The last name is Lan.”

The clerk was also a shameless man, and said loudly without changing his expression: “Yes, from today on, my surname will be Lan!”

Under the bright red wine towel, Lan Wangji’s back seemed to be unsteady for a moment.Wei Wuxian had a wicked smile on his face, walked up to him with his hands behind his back, and patted him on the shoulder: “Thank you Hanguang-jun for paying the bill. I let him take your last name.”

After leaving the city, the two of them walked in the direction pointed by the guy.There were fewer and fewer pedestrians and more and more trees. Wei Wuxian asked, “Why didn’t you let me continue asking just now?”

Lan Wangji said: “Suddenly I remembered that I have heard about the Chang family in Yueyang. So there is no need to ask again.”

Wei Wuxian said, “Before you tell me, I want to ask you to confirm for me from the side. What about that? I wasn’t the one who destroyed the Chang family, right?”

Not to mention that he died a long time ago ten years ago, and his soul is at peace. It is not like he came to kill the family and wiped out the whole family. Does he still remember it?

Lan Wangji said, “No.”

Wei WuXian said, “Oh.” It seemed like he had returned to a certain period of his life when everyone was shouting for beatings and people were inferior to gutter rats. He could be blamed for any bad deeds and take the shit out of the bucket at will.The grandson of the old man next door lost three pounds even though he didn’t eat. He was frightened by the story about the ancestor of Yiling who instigated the ghost general to kill people.

Unexpectedly, Lan Wangji added, “It wasn’t you who killed him, but it was related to you.”

Wei WuXian asked, “What’s the connection?”

Lan Wangji said: “There are two connections. First, there is a person involved in this matter, and this person has a close relationship with your mother.”

Wei Wuxian paused.

He didn’t know what to feel in his heart, and he didn’t know what expression to make on his face. He hesitated and said: “…my mother?”

Wei Wuxian is the son of Wei Changze, a servant of the Yunmeng Jiang family, and Zangse Sanren, a Taoist from Yunyou.Both Jiang Fengmian and his wife were familiar with his parents, but Jiang Fengmian rarely remembered his old friends for him, and Jiang Fengmian’s wife Yu Ziyuan never spoke to him well. It would be better if she didn’t whip him a few times and tell him to go out and kneel in the ancestral hall and stay away from Jiang Cheng.Many things about his parents were told to him by others, and he actually didn’t know much more than others.

Lan Wangji also stopped, turned around and looked at him, saying, “Have you ever heard of Xiao Xingchen?”

Wei Wuxian thought about it seriously and said, “No.”

Lan Wangji said, “You’re right if you haven’t. This person became famous exactly twelve years ago. Now no one mentions him anymore.”

Twelve years ago, it happened to be a year after the mass siege of Yiling Mass Graves. I just missed it.Wei Wuxian asked, “What mountain is it, and who did it teach me?”

Lan Wangji said: “I don’t know where the mountain is. I inherited the Taoist sect from my master. Xiao Xingchen is a disciple of Baoshan Sanren.”

Only then did Wei Wuxian realize why this person was said to have a close relationship with his mother.He said: “So, this Xiao Xingchen can be regarded as my uncle.”

Zangse Sanren also came from Baoshan Sanren.

This Baoshan Sanren was a hermit from the world. It is said that he was a monk who debuted at the same time as Wen Mao, Lan An and others.The influential figures of that generation have long since disappeared, and only the Baoshan Sanren are rumored to have still survived.If this is the case, he must be hundreds of years old, which shows that he has cultivated a lot.At that time, headed by Wen Mao, the family was prospering and the sect was declining. Immortal cultivation forces linked by blood relationships sprung up like mushrooms after the rain.All monks who are slightly famous have established their ancestors.But this expert chose to live in seclusion in the mountains, and his Taoist name was Baoshan.No one knows which mountain he is hugging.Having said that, it is precisely because no one knows that it is called retreat.If you can still find it easily after you go into seclusion, then it’s not called seclusion.

This senior lived in seclusion on an unknown fairy mountain, and would often secretly take some helpless children up the mountain to become his apprentices.But all the disciples must swear: In this life, they will only devote themselves to cultivating Taoism, and they will not go down the mountain or enter the world.Otherwise, no matter what the reason, you will never come back from now on.Self-reliance, crawling around in the world of mortals, has nothing to do with the teacher.

Everyone in the world knows the Tao, and Baoshan Sanren is indeed a master of Taoism. This rule he established is really very foresighted.Because for hundreds of years, she has only three disciples: Taoist Yanling, Zangse Sanren, and Xiao Xingchen.The three apprentices all met a bad end.

Wei Wuxian has been familiar with the fate of his first two apprentices since he was a child, and there is no need to hear it again.Therefore, what Lan Wangji told him in a concise and concise manner was the last deeds of his uncle.

Xiao Xingchen was only seventeen years old when he came out of the mountain. Although Lan Wangji had not met him, he had heard about him from others.

At that time, it was only a few years after the Sun Shooting Campaign ended, and the Yiling Mass Grave Encirclement and Suppression had just passed. The major families were running rampant, recruiting talents for their own use.Xiao Xingchen came out of the mountain with the idea of ​​​​saving the world. He had excellent qualifications and was taught by experts. He hunted for the first time at night. With a whisk and a long sword, he rushed into the mountain alone and came out on top – he became famous in one battle.

When all the families saw this young Taoist with a clear appearance and good cultivation, they were greatly heartbroken and sent invitations one after another.Xiao Xingchen politely declined them all, stating clearly that he did not want to be attached to any aristocratic family, but together with a close friend, he was determined to establish a new sect that did not value blood connections.

This person has a human nature like pampas grass, a heart like a rock, soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and he is clean and self-possessed.At that time, whenever someone had something difficult or difficult to solve, the first thing they thought of was to seek help from him, and he never refused, so he had an excellent reputation.

The murder of the Yueyang Chang family happened at that time.
