[R18] The Patriarch of the Demonic Way (newly revised version) – Chapter 28 of “The Patriarch of the Demonic Way (Newly Revised Edition)” [English]

Chapter 28 Morning Dew Seventh

After entering the city, the two of them walked side by side among the bustling crowds.Suddenly, Lan Wangji asked, “How about the evil curse mark?”

Wei Wuxian said, “Jin Ling was buried too close to his good brother at that time, and he had a lot of resentment. It has faded a little, but it is not all gone. I probably have to find all the corpses, or at least find the head to find a way to eliminate them all. It doesn’t matter.”

“Good brother” is the man who was cut into pieces by five horses.Because he didn’t know who he really was, Wei Wuxian suggested using the nickname “good brother” instead.After Lan Wangji heard this, he didn’t say a word, but he didn’t object, so he acquiesced to the title.Of course, he himself would never use this word.

Lan Wangji said, “How much is one point?”

Wei Wuxian measured the distance and said, “A little is a little. How should I put it? Do I want to take it off for you to see?”

Lan Wangji’s brows moved slightly, as if he was really worried about him taking off his clothes in the street, and said softly: “Take off your clothes when you get back.”

Wei Wuxian laughed, turned around and took two steps backward.In the past, in order to escape as soon as possible, he tried his best to make people dislike him, and did a lot of things to show off his insanity and embarrassment. Now that his identity has been exposed, if anyone else thinks about all this, he will be ashamed. Only people like Wei Wuxian who have always been very thick-skinned still act like they are fine.Having said that, if you were someone else, with a little facial expression, you wouldn’t be able to do those weird behaviors, such as crawling into bed and getting under the covers in the middle of the night, insisting on squeezing into the bathtub with others, and asking if you are beautiful after putting on makeup.If he pretends not to remember anything, Lan Wangji will naturally not take the initiative to bring it up, and both parties act as if nothing happened.Today is the first time since then that such a joke has been made.After laughing, Wei Wuxian immediately said seriously: “Hanguang-Jun, do you think that the people who threw your good brother’s hand into Mojiazhuang and let it attack your juniors are the same people who sewed his legs to another corpse and buried it in the wall?”

Although he always called Lan Wangji by his first name before and now, in the past few days, he called him by his honorific title every day, which made him a habit.Moreover, this title was called by he, with a pretentious and inexplicably funny flavor, so he continued to call it half-truth and half-false outside.

Lan Wangji said, “Two batches.”

Wei Wuxian said, “Then we have similar views. He went to great lengths to sew the legs to another corpse and hid it in the wall. He obviously didn’t want the body parts to be discovered. In this case, he wouldn’t have deliberately thrown his left hand to attack the Gusu Lan clan. This would definitely attract attention and investigation. One of them tried their best to hide, and the other acted recklessly, for fear of not being discovered. They shouldn’t be the same group of people.”

After he finished speaking, Lan Wangji seemed to have nothing left to say, but he still said “hmm”.

Wei Wuxian turned back and said as he walked, “The person hiding the leg knows that the Nie family in Qinghe has the tradition of sacrificing the sword hall, and the person throwing the left hand knows the movements of the Gusu Lan family. I’m afraid the origins are not simple. There are more and more secrets.”

Lan Wangji said, “Step by step.”

Wei Wuxian asked, “How did you recognize me?”

Lan Wangji said, “Think for yourself.”

You ask me and I type without stopping for a moment. Wei Wuxian originally tried to think of an answer to the last question that he did not intend to trick Lan Wangji into blurting out, but he still failed. He was not discouraged and the topic jumped quickly: “I have never been to Liyang. I was the one who asked people to inquire about things before. This time I am lazy and ask you to ask. I wonder if Hanguang-kun doesn’t mind?”

Lan Wangji turned around and left, and Wei Wuxian immediately said, “Stay here. Lord Hanguang, may I ask where you are going?”

Lan Wangji turned around and said, “Look for the Xianmen family stationed here.”

Wei Wuxian grabbed the edge of his sword and pulled him back: “Why are you looking for them? This is their territory, and they won’t tell you if they know it. Either they can’t solve it, they are embarrassed and are hiding it, or they are unwilling to let outsiders get involved. Honorable Hanguang-Jun, it’s not that someone from Wei is trying to smear you and come out to do things. You really can’t do it without me. If you ask around like this, it would be weird if you can ask me anything.”

This was said a little too freely, but Lan Wangji’s eyes were soft, and he still whispered: “Yes.”

Wei Wuxian smiled: “Well, what the hell, that’s okay.” But he was filled with laughter: “I can only say ‘hmm’, but it’s still boring!”

Lan Wangji said, “Then how can we find out?”

Wei Wuxian pointed to one side: “Of course we’re going there.”

What he refers to is a long, wide street.Both sides of the street were hung high and low with ostentatious banners, and bright red scarves were flying, which was very eye-catching.Every shop has its facade wide open, with round, dark jars placed from inside to outside. There are also waiters holding a tray of small wine bowls and patting themselves on the back to passers-by.

The aroma of strong liquor filled the street. No wonder Wei Wuxian was walking slower and slower. When he reached the street corner, he couldn’t walk at all and was holding him back.

Wei Wuxian said solemnly, “The clerks in a place like this are usually young, smart, and hard-working, and there are many customers and people with mixed opinions every day. Whatever strange things are going around nearby will definitely not escape their ears.”

Lan Wangji said “yes” without any objection, but his face had “You obviously just want to drink” written all over his face.

Wei Wuxian pretended not to understand He’s face, and just grabbed He’s sword tassel and walked into the restaurant street with golden eyes.Immediately, five or six waiters from different restaurants gathered around, each of them more enthusiastic than the other: “Would you like to try it? The famous local Hejiazhuang!”

“Young Master, try this. It’s just a taste for free. Once you’re happy, come back and do business in the shop.”

“This wine doesn’t smell strong, but it’s quite refreshing!”

“If you can still stand after drinking, I will take your last name!”

Upon hearing this, Wei Wuxian said, “Okay!” He took the wine bowl from the waiter, drank it all, smiled, showed the bottom of the empty bowl to him, and said, “Do you have my last name?”

The waiter didn’t give up. He raised his head and became even more angry: “I’m talking about drinking the entire jar!”

Wei WuXian said, “Then give me three altars.”

The clerk was overjoyed and rushed back to the store.Wei Wuxian said to Lan Wangji, “When it comes to business, do the business first and then talk about other things. Once the business is done, your mouth will be open.”

Lan Wangji paid the bill.

The two entered the store, which was equipped with wooden tables and chairs for drinkers to rest and chat.Another waiter inside saw Lan Wangji’s appearance and appearance. He was so shocked that he didn’t dare to neglect him. He wiped the tables, chairs and benches with all his strength for a while before he dared to show his seat.Wei Wuxian had two jars at his feet and one jar in his hand. He exchanged some warm words with the boy and then got to the point, asking about strange things happening here.The guy was also talkative. He rubbed his hands and asked, “What kind of weird thing happened?”

“Haunted houses, deserted graves, dismembered bodies, and the like.”

The guy’s eyes were rolling: “Oh… what do you do? You and he.”

Wei Wuxian said, “Didn’t you already guess it?”

The clerk said clearly: “That’s right. I guess, you two must be from some kind of family that flies around in the clouds and mist. Especially the person next to you, I have never seen such… such… among ordinary people.”

Wei WuXian smiled and said, “Such a handsome person.”

The clerk hahahaha said: “What you said, this young master will not be happy. There are strange things, but it is not now, it was ten years ago. If you walk this way, leave the city, and walk two or three miles, you will see a very beautifully built house. I don’t know if the sign of He’s house is still there, that place is the Changzhai.”

Wei WuXian asked, “What happened to the house?”

“What a massacre!” said the waiter, “When you ask about strange things, of course I am talking about the strangest among strange things. The whole family died, and I heard that they were all frightened to death!”

Hearing this, Lan Wangji was thoughtful, as if he remembered something.Wei Wuxian didn’t pay attention, and asked, “Are there any immortal cultivating families stationed in this area?” It was an extremely cruel and terrifying ghost that could scare several members of a family to death.Not every family has the same last resort difficulties as the Qinghe Nie family. The average immortal cultivating family will not tolerate such things appearing in their own land.The guy said, “Yes. Why not?”

Wei WuXian asked, “Then how did they respond at that time?”

“Response?” The man threw the rag over his shoulder, sat down, and solemnly shook out the baggage that he had been holding back for a long time: “Young master, do you know the name of the Xiuxian family that was stationed in Yueyang before? Their surname is Chang. The family that died is his family! Everyone is dead, who else is going to deal with it?”

The Chang family that was wiped out was the immortal cultivating family stationed here?!

Although Wei Wuxian had never heard of the Yueyang Chang family, and this was certainly not a prominent Immortal family, the destruction of a family was definitely a very serious and appalling event.He then asked: “How did the Chang family get wiped out?”

The waiter said, “I’ve heard about it too. One night, there was a knock on the door of the Chang family’s house.”

Wei Wuxian: “A knock on the door?”

“Yes! There was a loud banging on the door. There were shouts and cries inside, as if everyone was locked in and couldn’t get out. Isn’t this weird? The door is bolted from the inside. If the people inside want to get out, just open it. What’s the point of banging on the door? There’s nothing you can do if you hit the people outside. Besides, if you can’t get out, you can’t climb over the wall?

“The people outside are murmuring in their hearts. Everyone in this area knows that the Chang family is a great local family, a cultivator of immortality. The head of our family, let’s call him Chang Ping. It seems that there is a sword that can fly, let him stand on it and fly! If something happens inside, even heThe house couldn’t be leveled, so other ordinary people tried to climb up.So no one built a ladder or climbed over the wall to look inside.The wailing inside became smaller and smaller the next day, and the door of Chang’s house opened by itself.

“In the whole house, there were more than a dozen masters, both men and women, and more than fifty domestic servants. They were sitting up, lying down, and vomiting bile. They were all scared to death.”

The liquor store owner turned around and cursed: “You’re going to die! If you don’t work, why are you talking about old stories?”

Wei WuXian said, “Come to the Five Altars again.”

Lan Wangji paid ten jars of money, and the boss turned around and smiled happily, telling the waiter: “Be good with the guests and don’t run around!”

Wei WuXian said, “Go on.”

The waiter no longer had any worries, so he tried his best and said in a high and steady tone: “Since then, for a long time, if pedestrians walked near Changzhai at night, they would hear knocking on the door from inside!

“You think about it, people like you who fly in the clouds, cultivate immortals and fight monsters, see so many ghosts and monsters, and be scared to death all of them, how scary that is. If you walk a lot at night, you will always encounter ghosts. Even after the burial, you can hear the sound of coffins being pounded! Although the owner of our family, Chang Ping, did not come back after going out, he escaped…”

Wei WuXian said, “Didn’t you say that the whole family is dead?”
