[R18] The Patriarch of the Demonic Way (newly revised version) – Chapter 4 of “The Patriarch of the Demonic Way (Newly Revised Edition)” [English]

Chapter 4 Wilderness Second 2

Wei Wuxian’s first thought was that there might be something wrong with the flag formation set up by those young men.

The things he made can cause disaster if used carelessly. This is why he went out of his way to confirm whether the painting method of the Zhaoyin flag was wrong.So when several pairs of big hands were holding him and dragging him out, Wei Wuxian stood upright and let them drag him, so as not to have to leave on his own.After being dragged to the east hall, it was very lively. The crowd was no less than when the townspeople of Mojiazhuang gathered during the day. All the servants and relatives came out, some were still wearing Chinese clothes, and they didn’t have time to comb their hair. They all looked frightened.Mrs. Mo slumped in her seat, as if she had just woken up from a coma, with tears still visible on her cheeks and in her eyes.However, as soon as Wei Wuxian was dragged in, her tears immediately turned into a cold light of resentment.

There was a human-shaped thing lying on the ground, its body covered with white cloth, with only one head exposed.Lan SiZhui and the other teenagers had solemn expressions on their faces, leaning over to check and talking in low voices.The voice fell into Wei Wuxian’s ears:

“…Find out that it takes less than a stick of incense?”

“We just subdued the walking corpse. We were rushing from the west courtyard to the east courtyard. The corpse was on the corridor.”

This human figure is none other than Mo Ziyuan.Wei Wuxian glanced at it and couldn’t help but take another look.

This corpse looked like Mo Ziyuan, but it didn’t look like Mo Ziyuan.Although his facial features were clearly that of his cheaper cousin, his cheeks were deeply sunken, his eye sockets and eyeballs were protruding, and his skin was wrinkled. Compared with Mo Ziyuan, who was still in his youth, he seemed to be twenty years older.It seemed as if the flesh and blood had been sucked dry, turning into a skeleton covered with a very thin layer of skin.If the original Mo Ziyuan was just ugly, then his corpse now is old and ugly.

Wei Wuxian was taking a closer look when Madam Mo suddenly rushed over.A cold light flashed in her hand, and she was actually holding a dagger.Lan SiZhui shot him down with quick eyes and hands, but before he could speak, Mrs. Mo screamed at he: “My son died tragically, and I want to avenge him! Why are you stopping me?”

Wei WuXian hid behind Lan SiZhui again, squatting and saying, “Your son’s tragic death has nothing to do with me.”

During the day, Lan SiZhui watched Wei Wuxian making a fuss in the east hall. Later, he heard a lot of rumors from others about the illegitimate son adding fuel to the fire. He felt very sympathetic to this sick man and couldn’t help but speak for him: “Mrs. Mo, the shape of your son’s body, with all the flesh, flesh and spirit sucked out, was clearly killed by evil spirits. He probably didn’t do it.”

Mrs. Mo’s chest heaved: “What do you know! This lunatic’s father is a cultivator, and he must have learned a lot of evil arts!”

Lan SiZhui looked back at Wei Wuxian, who seemed to be in a state of dementia, and said, “Madam, there is no evidence for this, or…”

“The evidence is on my son!” Mrs. Mo pointed to the body on the ground: “See for yourselves! A Yuan’s body has told me who killed him!”

Without anyone else taking action, Wei Wuxian rushed to lift the white cloth from head to toe.There was something missing from Mo Ziyuan’s body.

One of his left arms, from the shoulder down, was missing!

Mrs. Mo said: “Did you see it? Did you all hear it here today? What did this madman say? He said that if A Yuan touches his things again, he will cut off A Yuan’s arm!”

After getting excited, she covered her face and choked up: “…I’m just pitiful for my A-Yuan, who never touched anything of this lunatic. Not only was he framed by him, but he also killed him because of his heart-wrenching madness…”

Crazy!

It’s been years since I’ve heard this comment applied to me. It’s so kind.Wei Wuxian pointed at himself, speechless.I don’t know if he is sick or if Mrs. Mo is sick. He said cruel things like wiping out the family, leaving millions of corpses bleeding and drifting into the oars, etc. He often said it when he was young, but most of the time he just said it.If he could really do what he said, he would have dominated hundreds of schools long ago.Mrs. Mo didn’t want to avenge her son at all, she just wanted to find someone to vent her resentment to.

Wei Wuxian didn’t bother with her anymore. After thinking for a moment, he reached into Mo Ziyuan’s arms, searched around, and took out something.When it was unfolded, it turned out to be a Yin-calling flag.

In an instant, his heart brightened, and he thought secretly: You will not survive if you do it yourself!

When Lan SiZhui and others saw what Mo Ziyuan took out from his arms, they understood what was going on.Thinking about today’s farce, it’s not difficult to guess the cause and effect: Mo Ziyuan was humiliated by Mo Xuanyu during the day, and he was extremely resentful. He wanted to settle the score with him, but Mo Xuanyu ran outside and wandered around, and disappeared for a long time. Mo Ziyuan wanted to teach him a lesson when he returned at night.

But at night, he secretly went out and passed by the west courtyard, but he saw the Zhaoyin flag inserted on the eaves of the wall.Although he had been repeatedly warned not to go out in the middle of the night, not to go to the West Courtyard, and not to touch these black flags, Mo Ziyuan thought that this was just a deliberate intimidation because they were afraid that someone would steal the rare magic weapon. He had no idea how ominous the effect of the Yin-summoning flag was. Once it was in his arms, he became a living target.He had dirty hands and feet, and became addicted to stealing the talisman and seal instruments of his mad cousin. When he saw such a strange thing, he felt itchy and had to get his hands on it, so he took advantage of the owners of the flag to collect the walking corpses in the west courtyard and quietly picked one off.

A total of six Yin-summoning flags were used in the flag formation, five of which were located in the west courtyard. They used the young men of the Lan family as bait, but they were guarding countless immortal magic weapons with them.Although Mo Ziyuan only stole one side, he didn’t have any self-defense weapon on him. If you pinch the persimmon softly, evil spirits will naturally be attracted to him.If it’s just a walking corpse, that’s fine. Even if it’s bitten a few times, it won’t die for a while, but it can still be saved.Unfortunately, this Yin-summoning flag unintentionally summoned something more terrifying than a walking corpse.It was this unknown evil that killed Mo Ziyuan and took away one of his arms!

Wei Wuxian raised his wrist, and sure enough, the scars on his left hand were healed.It seems that the dedication contract already tacitly attributes Mo Ziyuan’s death to he.After all, the Zhaoyin Banner was originally made and passed down by Wei Wuxian, but it was a mistake.

Mrs. Mo was well aware of some of her son’s minor problems, but she would never admit that Mo Ziyuan’s death was caused by him. Feeling anxious and angry, she grabbed a tea cup and threw it at Wei Wuxian’s head and face: “If you hadn’t made a false accusation against him in front of so many people yesterday, would he have gone out in the middle of the night? It’s all the fault of a bastard like you!”

Wei Wuxian was on guard and dodged.Mrs. Mo screamed at Lan SiZhui again: “And you! You useless people, you can’t even protect a child! A Yuan is only a teenager!”

These teenagers are still young and have only been out for a few experiences. They have not detected any abnormality in this place. They never expected that there is such a ferocious evil spirit. They originally felt that they had made some omissions and felt quite guilty. However, they were scolded by Mrs. Mo indiscriminately and their faces turned green. After all, they came from a famous family and no one had dared to treat them like this.The Gusu Lan family has a very strict family upbringing, and it is taboo to attack ordinary people who are unable to fight back, even if they are rude. Therefore, although they were unhappy, they suppressed it forcefully and looked ugly.

But Wei Wuxian couldn’t stand it anymore and thought to himself: “After all these years, the Lan family still has such a good character. Why do you want to have such broken self-cultivation? I can’t hold myself back. Look at me!”

heHe let out a loud “poof” and said: “Who do you think you are scolding? Do you really treat others as your slaves? They came all the way to ward off demons and eliminate demons for nothing, but they owe you anything? Your son Gui Geng? He should be seventeen this year, and he is still a “child”? How old is a child who still can’t understand human language? Did you repeatedly tell him not to touch anything in the formation and not go near the west courtyard yesterday? Your son went out in the middle of the night to slay chickens and dogs, blame me? Do you blame me? He?”

Lan Jingyi and others let out a sigh of relief, their faces finally no longer turning green from holding back.Mrs. Mo was extremely sad and resentful, thinking about the word “death” in her heart.It’s not that I die to accompany my son, but that everyone in the world dies, especially the few people in front of me.When she encounters problems, she always instructs her husband, pushing him and saying, “Call people! Call everyone in!”

Her husband was dumbfounded. Maybe it was because the death of his only son was such a shock that he pushed her back.Mrs. Mo was pushed to the ground unexpectedly and was stunned.

In the past, Mrs. Mo didn’t need to push him, as long as she raised her voice a little higher, he would do it, but today he actually dares to fight back!

All the servants were frightened by her expression. A Ding trembled and helped her up. Mrs. Mo covered her heart and said with a trembling voice: “You…you…get out of here too!”

she husband seemed unaware, A Ding winked at Atong several times, Atong hurriedly helped the male host out, and there was chaos inside and outside the east hall.Seeing that the family was finally quiet, Wei Wuxian was about to continue looking at the bodies, but before he could take a second look, another high-pitched scream came through the door from the yard.

People in the hall rushed out.I saw two people twitching on the ground in the east courtyard.A boy who is sitting paralyzed is still alive.The other one fell to the ground, his flesh and blood seemed to have been sucked dry and hollowed out, and he was wrinkled and withered. One of his left arms was gone, and there was no blood to flow from the wound.The condition of the corpse was exactly the same as that of Mo Ziyuan.

Mrs. Mo just shook off A Ding’s support, and when she saw the body lying on the ground, her eyes straightened, and she finally lost the strength and fainted.Wei Wuxian happened to be standing near her, and he helped her body and handed it to A Ding who ran forward. Looking at his right hand, the scar was gone.

As soon as she crossed the threshold of the hall and before leaving the east courtyard, Mrs. Mo’s husband died tragically on the spot, but it happened in an instant.Lan SiZhui, Lan Jingyi and others also turned pale.Lan SiZhui quickly calmed down and asked the slumped Atong, “Have you seen what it is?”

Ah Tong was so frightened that he couldn’t open his teeth. He couldn’t ask a question for a long time and just kept shaking his head.Lan SiZhui was so worried that he asked his fellow disciples to bring him into the house. He turned to Lan Jingyi and asked, “Has the signal been sent?”

Lan Jingyi said: “The signal has been sent, but if there are no seniors nearby who can come to support, it will probably take half an hour for our people to arrive. What should we do now? We don’t even know what it is.”

Naturally, it is impossible for them to leave. If the children of any family just run away when they encounter evil spirits, it will not only bring shame to the family, but they themselves will also be ashamed to see others.These frightened Mo family members can’t follow them, because most of the evil spirits are among them, and it’s useless to leave.Lan SiZhui gritted his teeth and said, “Just wait for someone to come!”

Now that a distress signal has been sent out, other monks will arrive soon to provide support.To avoid causing more trouble, Wei Wuxian should retreat.It’s okay if you don’t know the person who comes, but it’s hard to say what will happen if someone happens to come who has dealt with or had a fight with him.

But with the curse on him, he can’t leave Mojiazhuang now.Moreover, the things that were summoned took two lives in such a short period of time, and their ferocity was extraordinary. If Wei Wuxian let go now, and by the time backup arrived, the entire Mojiazhuang might have been littered with corpses missing one of his left arms. There were also several descendants of the Gusu Lan clan among them.

After thinking for a moment, Wei Wuxian thought to himself, “A quick fight and a quick decision.”
