Chapter 26 The Sixth Chapter 4

Lan Wangji said, “I would like to hear the details.”

As soon as he sat there, the power of these polite words was almost like a threat, so Nie Huaisang began to explain slowly.

He said: “Hanguang Jun, you know that our Nie family is different from other Immortal families. Because the ancestor of our family was a butcher, other families all practice immortal swords, but our family practices swordsmanship.”

This is known to everyone and is by no means a secret.Even the family pattern of the Nie family in Qinghe is a ferocious animal head pattern that looks like a dog or a pig.Nie Huaisang continued: “Because the way of cultivation is different from other families, and the ancestors who founded the family were born as butchers, it is inevitable that they will be bloody. The swords of our family heads in the past generations are extremely violent and murderous. Almost every family head has gone crazy and died violently. And they have bad tempers, which has a lot to do with it.”

For example, Nie Huaisang’s eldest brother Nie Mingjue.This young immortal leader is a sworn brother to Lan Xichen and Jin Guangyao. Chifeng Lord is fierce and majestic; Zewu Lord is as gentle as jade and has a noble character; Lianfang Lord is exquisite in all directions and cunning and sharp.The three men became sworn brothers during the Sun Shooting Campaign, and each had their own good stories. Later, they were collectively known as the Three Lords by many families.But at the height of his popularity, Nie Mingjue went crazy and died violently at an important event. Many of the attendees that day were chased and slashed by him while he was going crazy.A lifetime of fame has ended like this.Nie Huaisang must have thought of his eldest brother, and he looked depressed for a while, and then said: “When these family heads were alive, the restlessness of their swords could still be suppressed by their owners. But after their owners died, and they were left uncontrolled, they would turn into deadly weapons.”

Wei Wuxian raised his eyebrows: “This is close to the devil’s evil ways.”

Nie Huaisang hurriedly said: “It’s different! The reason why the evil demons are evil is because they want people’s lives. But our swords are not for people, but for those resentful ghosts, evil spirits, monsters and monsters. They spend their whole lives killing these things. If they don’tIf you let it get rid of these things, it will cause trouble for the family.The sword spirit only recognizes one owner and cannot be used by others.We, the descendants, cannot be disrespectful to our ancestors, and melting it will not solve the problem.”

Wei Wuxian commented, “Uncle.”

Nie Huaisang said: “No. The sword that has followed all our ancestors to overcome thorns and seek immortality and ask questions is originally the uncle.”

He continued: “As the cultivation of the family masters became more and more advanced from generation to generation, this problem became more and more serious from generation to generation. It was not until the sixth generation of my family’s family masters that I came up with a solution.”

Wei WuXian asked, “Just building a cannibal castle?”

Nie Huaisang said: “No, no, although there is a connection, I did not think of this method at first. This is what the sixth-generation head of the family did. He gave his father and grandfather’s knives, made two coffins, and dug a mausoleum. There were no valuables in the mausoleum, but hundreds of corpses that were about to turn into evil were placed.”

Lan Wangji frowned slightly, and Nie Huaisang was so frightened that he immediately said: “Hanguang-Jun, please listen to my explanation! These corpses were not killed by our family! They were collected from all over the place with great pains! Many of them were bought with huge sums of money. The sixth generation family leader said that if these sword spirits want to fight with evil spirits, then let them fightThe fight is endless.These corpses that are about to transform into corpses are buried together with the knife spirit.The knife spirit will suppress the corpse transformation, and at the same time, these corpses can also alleviate the needs and rage of the knife spirit, maintain the status quo, and achieve peace for generations.”

Wei Wuxian asked, “Then why did you build a stone castle? Do you want to bury the corpse in the wall? And you said it had eaten people?”

Nie Huaisang said: “These questions are actually the same question. It can be regarded as… it has eaten people. But that was not intentional!!! The sixth generation of our family majored in knife tombs, which made a very common tomb. The subsequent generations imitated he. But more than fifty years ago, this tomb was dug by a group of tomb robbers.”

Wei Wuxian said “Oh” and thought to himself, “This is really disturbing the situation.”

Nie Huaisang said: “No matter how careful and low-key you are about such a big thing as building a tomb, the news will leak out. The group of tomb robbers made inquiries and determined that there was a large tomb from the previous dynasty on Xinglu Ridge. They had already taken advantage of this and came prepared. Among this group of rabble, there were one or two capable people with real talents and knowledge, and they were actually called heThey identified the location, broke through the maze, and found our family’s knife tomb.They dug a hole and entered the tomb. Those who work in this business have seen many corpses and are not afraid of the dead inside, but they are rummaging around inside looking for gold jewelry and breathing next to the corpses. They are all young and mature men full of yang energy.It should be noted that the corpses lying inside are all about to transform into corpses!

“You can imagine what would happen. There were more than ten murderous corpses on the spot.

“But these tomb robbers were so brave and well-prepared that they actually beat them to death again. After a fierce fight and the corpses were scattered all over the ground, they realized that the tomb was dangerous and prepared to evacuate. It was at this time that they were eaten!”

“The number of corpses placed in the tomb is strictly controlled, not too many, not too little, just enough to maintain a balance with the sword spirit. And this group of tomb robbers went in and made a fuss. If it only caused the corpse transformation, it would be okay. After they retreated, the sword spirit would use its force to suppress the corpse transformation. But heThey smashed all the corpses into pieces, and there were more than a dozen missing at once.In order to maintain enough ferocious corpses and sword spirits to restrain each other, the Dao Tomb…had to…automatically seal them, trap them alive in the tomb, and let this group of people fill the vacancy caused by them…”

“The sword tomb was destroyed, and the head of the family at that time began to think of other ways. He chose a new place on Xinglu Ridge and no longer built the tomb. Instead, he built a sword sacrificial hall. In order to prevent tomb robbers from coming again, he hid the body in the wall to hide it from others.

“This sacrificial knife hall is also the rumored “Man-eating Castle”. The group of tomb robbers came to Qinghe, disguised as hunters, entered Xinglu Ridge and never came out. No bones were found, so there were rumors that they were devoured by monsters in the ridge. Later, when the stone castle was built and the new maze was not set up, someone happened to pass by and saw it. Fortunately, all the stone castles did not have doors, so he could not get in. But after going down the ridge, heEveryone told me that there was a strange white castle on Xingluling Mountain, and a man-eating monster must live in it.We thought it would be better to spread the rumor so that no one would dare to go near that area, so we added fuel to the legend and made it known as the “Man-Eating Castle”.But it does eat people!”

Nie Huaisang took out a handkerchief and a white stone the size of a garlic head from his sleeve.He brought a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and Shiraishi handed it over and said, “You two can take a look at this.”

Wei Wuxian took the white stone and took a closer look. He found a bit of white stuff exposed in the stone powder, which looked like…a human finger bone.

He felt clear in his heart. Nie Huaisang wiped off his sweat and said, “That… Young Master Jin… I don’t know what method he used to blow a hole in the wall. He can also blow up such a thick wall. He must have brought a lot of magic weapons with him. That’s not the point… I mean, heThe place that was blown up happened to be the earliest knife sacrificial hall built by our family in Xingluling. At that time, we didn’t think of laying stone bricks on both sides and using soil in the middle to isolate the Yang Qi to prevent them from easily transforming into corpses.They just poured the corpse into the mortar, so Young Master Jin blew a hole, but he didn’t notice that he actually exploded a white bone buried in the wall.Soon after he entered, he was sucked into the stone castle wall, instead of being killed by he.The corpse that was blown up… I go to Xingluling regularly to check.I saw this when I went there today. As soon as I picked up a stone, a dog came to bite me. Alas… The Sacrifice Sword Hall is almost the same as our ancestral grave. I really…”

Nie Huaisang became more and more sad as he spoke, “Ordinary monks know that this is my family’s territory and would never hunt at night in the Qinghe area. Who knows…”

Who would have known that he would be so unlucky? First, Jin Ling, who never followed the rules, set his sights on Xingluling, and then came Lan Wei and others who came from the direction pointed by the ghost-seeking hand.He added: “Hanguang-Jun, and this…I have said it, you must not spread it. Otherwise…”

Otherwise, the Nie family in Qinghe is already half-dead. If this kind of thing is reported again, Nie Huaisang will become a sinner for the ages, and he will not be able to face his ancestors.No wonder he would rather be the laughingstock of everyone in the family than practice diligently, and he still dares not to sharpen his sword.If you practice successfully, your temper will become increasingly irritable, and eventually you will go crazy and explode like Brother He and all his ancestors did.

There is also no explanation. The Nie family has been here since the first generation of ancestors. Do they want future generations to deny the path and foundation opened by their ancestors?Each Xianmen family has its own strengths. Just like Gusu Lan’s good music and temperament, Qinghe Nie’s sword spirit is fierce and powerful, which is why it can stand out.If we abandon the teachings of our ancestors, start all over again, and find a new path, we don’t know how many years it will take, and we may not be able to succeed.And Nie Huaisang did not dare to betray the Nie family and practice another way.Therefore, all I can do is become a piece of trash.

If he were not the head of the family, he would spend his whole life wandering around the lake painting fans, catching fish and playing with birds like he did when he was in the depths of the clouds. He would definitely be much more comfortable than he is now.But now that his eldest brother has passed away, no matter how weak he is, he can only shoulder the burden of the family and stumble forward.

After Nie Huaisang left with his numerous warnings and begging, Wei Wuxian was dazed for a while, and suddenly he noticed that Lan Wangji came over again, knelt down on one knee in front of him, carefully rolled up his trouser legs, and said hurriedly: “Wait, come again?”

Lan Wangji said, “First remove the evil curse.”

Hanguang Jun half-knelt in front of him in this posture three times a day. Although the other person was very serious, he really couldn’t bear to see this scene.Wei Wuxian said, “I’ll do it myself.” He rolled up his trouser legs a few times, and saw evil marks covering his entire calf, crawling over his knees and up his thighs.Wei Wuxian looked at it and said casually, “It’s reached the base of the leg.”

Lan Wangji turned his head and did not answer.Wei Wuxian asked curiously, “Lan Zhan?”
