Chapter 27 The Sixth Chapter 5

Lan Wangji turned around, but his eyes were still slightly sideways.Seeing this, Wei Wuxian blinked, feeling inexplicably wanting to cause trouble. Just as he was about to make a joke, there was a sudden sound of breaking from the table.

They both stood up and looked.I saw the teacup and teapot shattered on the floor, and a sealing evil universe bag lying among the white porcelain pieces and the flowing tea.The surface of the bag was stirring, as if something was trapped inside and eager to get out.

Although this Evil Sealing Universe Bag seems to be only the size of a palm, it can be used for storage. The inside and outside layers are embroidered with complex incantations, blessing several layers of seals.Lan Wangji originally sealed the arm in a bag and pressed it under the tea cup on the table. Now that he saw it moving restlessly, he remembered that it was time to play “Rest in Peace” together.Without the short-term comfort of their nightly song, no matter how strong the suppression power of the Evil Sealing Universe Bag is, it alone cannot trap the ghost hand.

Wei Wuxian reached out to touch the bamboo flute at his waist, but found nothing.Turning around to look, it turned out that the bamboo flute was already in Lan Wangji’s hand. He lowered his head slightly and concentrated on carving on the bamboo flute for a while before handing it back.Wei Wuxian took it back and took a look. The rough details of the bamboo flute that had been repaired by he, such as the flute hole, were much more refined.

Lan Wangji said: “Blow well.”

Thinking of the miserable time they were in the underworld, where they had to listen to the chorus that woke Lan Qiren alive from a coma and then vomited blood and continued to coma, Wei Wuxian almost fell to the ground with laughter, thinking to himself: “It’s hard for him to tolerate me for so long.” He no longer deliberately acted evil, and raised the bamboo flute to his lips in a serious manner.Unexpectedly, after blowing a few words, the Qiankun bag suddenly swelled several times in size and stood up!

Wei Wuxian blew a note and said, “Why, he’s used to hearing ugly tunes, and he doesn’t like it if I play it nicer?”

As if in response to he , the Evil Feng Qiankun Bag suddenly flew towards Wei Wuxian.The melody suddenly changed under Lan Wangji’s finger, and with one stroke, the seven strings vibrated together, making a roar like a landslide.The Feng Evil Universe Bag was scolded angrily by Qin Yin and fell back to where it was.Wei Wuxian continued to play as if nothing had happened. Lan Wangji’s wrist softened and he followed the tune of “Rest in Peace”, turning into a quiet and peaceful tune, slowly harmonizing.

After the song was played, the Evil-Sealing Universe Bag finally retracted to its original shape and lay still.Wei Wuxian put back the flute and said, “These days it has never been as impatient as it is today, as if it was stimulated by something.”

Lan Wangji nodded slightly, turned to him, and said, “Besides, it’s something you have on your body.”

Wei Wuxian immediately looked down at himself.There is only one extra thing on he’s body today – the evil curse mark transferred from Jin Ling’s body.

The evil curse mark on Jin Ling’s body was left at the stone castle on Xinglu Ridge. Ghost Hands reacted strongly to this evil curse mark. Does this mean…

Wei WuXian asked, “You mean, there might be other parts of its body in the walls of the Nie Family Sacrifice Hall?”

Early the next morning, the two set off together and returned to Xingluling.

Nie Huaisang was caught yesterday and confessed all his culprits. He summoned his close disciples at home overnight to clean up the mess left by the intruders.When Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji walked up, he had just ordered people to fill in the wall where Wei Wuxian had dug out Jin Ling, and put a new corpse in. He was wiping sweat as he watched the white bricks being laid neatly layer by layer.Unexpectedly, when he turned around, his soles softened, and he said with a smile: “Hanguang-Jun… and this…”

Wei Wuxian waved his hand and said with a smile, “Sect Master Nie, where are you building the wall?”

Nie Huaisang wiped the sweat with a hand towel, almost wiping off a layer of skin on his forehead: “Yes, yes…”

Wei Wuxian was very sympathetic and said shyly, “I’m sorry. I might have to trouble you to do it again later.”

Nie Huaisang: “Yes, yes…ah?! Wait!”

Before he finished speaking, Bichen came out of his sheath.Nie Huaisang watched helplessly as the stone brick wall he had just repaired cracked again.

It is always easier to destroy than to build.Wei Wuxian was very fast at demolishing bricks, countless times faster than they could lay bricks.Nie Huaisang held the folding fan and shivered, feeling so aggrieved that tears almost came out of his eyes. However, Hanguang Jun stood beside him, saying nothing, and he did not dare to say anything.Lan Wangji told him the cause and effect in a concise and concise manner, and he immediately swore: “No! Absolutely not! The corpses used in our family’s sacrificial knife hall are all with intact limbs, and there are absolutely no corpses of men with missing arms. If you don’t believe it, I will tear down the bricks together to prove your innocence, but you must fill them in immediately after tearing them down. You can’t delay for a long time. This is my family’s ancestral tomb…”

Several Nie family disciples joined in, and when someone was working, Wei Wuxian withdrew and waited to see the results.Half an hour later, most of the stone bricks on the wall where Jin Ling had been buried had been removed.Some of the students pulled up their masks, and some took secret red pills to prevent breathing and anger from inducing corpse transformation.In the black soil, a pale hand or a foot with bulging veins occasionally appeared, as well as black hair full of tangled dirt.All the male corpses were roughly cleaned and laid flat on the ground in rows.

Some of these corpses have turned into white bones, some are in the process of decay, and some are still very fresh and appear in various shapes, but all of them have complete limbs.The body of a man without his left arm was not found.

Nie Huaisang said cautiously: “Is it enough to just demolish this wall? Do you want to demolish it again? No need.”

It is indeed enough.The evil mark on Jin Ling’s body was extremely dark in color, and the thing that left it must have been buried very close to him at the time, and would never have gone beyond the scope of this wall.Wei Wuxian squatted down next to a row of corpses.After thinking for a moment, Lan Wangji said, “Take the Evil-Sealing Universe Bag?”

It would be a good idea to take out the left hand from the Evil-Sealing Universe Bag and let it identify itself here.However, if you get too close to other parts of its body, there is no guarantee that it will not be excited and lead to a more dangerous situation.And this place is very special, full of yin and danger, so they carefully choose to come during the day.Wei Wuxian shook his head and pondered: “Doesn’t this arm belong to a man? No, I can tell a man’s hand is a woman’s hand just by looking at it… Does it mean that its owner has three arms?!”

he Just when he was amused by his idea, Lan Wangji said again: “Legs.”

After he mentioned it, Wei Wuxian remembered that he had actually ignored that the curse mark only covered his legs, and he hurriedly said: “Take off your pants! Take off your pants!”

Nie Huaisang was horrified: “Why do you say such shameful words in front of Lord Hanguang!”

Wei Wuxian said, “What’s there to be ashamed of? We’re all men. Do yourself a favor and take off all the corpse’s pants. There’s no such thing as a female corpse, just a male corpse!” As he spoke, he extended his claws towards the waistband of the corpse on the ground.Poor Nie Huaisang didn’t expect that he would have to take off the trousers of a corpse in the ancestor’s sacrificial knife hall, and it was a male corpse. He felt that after getting down to the ground, he would be slapped one by one by the ancestors of the Nie family in Qinghe, and he would be slapped to the point that he would be reborn in the next life. He couldn’t help but burst into tears.Fortunately, Wei Wuxian’s movement was intercepted by Lan Wangji. Just as Nie Huaisang was about to say that he was worthy of being Lord Hanguang, he heard him say, “I’ll do it.”

Wei Wuxian said, “Are you coming? Do you really want to do such a thing?”

The corners of Lan Wangji’s eyebrows seemed to be twitching faintly, as if he was enduring something, and repeated: “Don’t move. I’ll do it.”

Of all the shocks Nie Huaisang suffered today, this moment was the worst.

Of course, Lan Wangji would not actually pull off the corpse’s pants. He would just use Bichen’s sword energy to gently cut through the corpse’s clothes, exposing the skin underneath.Some clothes don’t need to be scratched, they are already in tatters.After a moment, he said: “I found it.”

Everyone hurriedly looked towards the ground.The body next to Lan Wangji’s white boots had a faint coil on each thigh.The stitches of flesh-colored thin threads are densely packed.There is a subtle difference in skin color above and below the coil.Apparently, the body’s legs and his upper body did not belong to the same person.

These two legs were actually sewn on!

Nie Huaisang was dumbfounded.Wei Wuxian asked, “Who chooses the corpses used by the Nie family to sacrifice their swords?”

Nie Huaisang said in a daze: “Generally, the family heads of the past generations selected and hoarded them before they were alive. My eldest brother left early and he didn’t save enough, so I helped him pick some… As long as the body has all the facial features and limbs, I will keep it. I don’t know the rest…”

Who buried this body in troubled waters? If you ask him, you will definitely not know clearly.From the person who provided the body to the insiders of the Nie family in Qinghe, there are countless suspicious objects.I’m afraid only by finding all the limbs and assembling the body and soul can we know what happened.

After finally separating the legs from the half-cut body of the man, Wei Wuxian put them into the new Evil-Sealing Qiankun bag and said to Lan Wangji, “This man looks like he was cut into pieces by five horses. Not only was he cut into pieces, but he was also thrown everywhere, piece by piece here and there. How much hatred must there be. Let’s just pray that he won’t be cut into too many pieces.”

Although Nie Huaisang still said “goodbye” when saying goodbye this time, but seeing the panic on his face, he probably didn’t want to “see you again” in this life.The two left Xingluling and returned to the inn. When they reached a safe place, they took out three limbs for careful comparison.Sure enough, the skin color of these legs is the same as that of the severed left limb, and if they are placed close to each other, they will have a strong reaction with each other, trembling continuously, as if they want to be connected together, but there is a part of the body missing in the middle, and there is no way to connect.They must belong to the same person.

Apart from the fact that he was a tall man with slender limbs, strong physique, and very good cultivation, the rest was still completely unknown and confusing.Fortunately, the ghost hand quickly pointed out the next step: southwest.

Following its guidance, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji came all the way to Yueyang.
