[R18] The Patriarch of the Demonic Way (newly revised version) – Chapter 8 of “The Patriarch of the Demonic Way (Newly Revised Edition)” [English]
byChapter 8 Arrogance Third 3
However, after rubbing for a while, Jiang Cheng forced himself to restrain any trace of hostility.
Although he is very unhappy, as the master of a sect, he has more considerations and cannot be as impulsive as a boy like Jin Ling.Since the decline of the Nie family in Qinghe, among the three major aristocratic families, the Lanling Jin family and the Gusu Lan family are already very close due to the close personal relationship between the family heads. He independently controls the Yunmeng Jiang family and can be said to be in an isolated state among the three families.Hanguang Jun Lan Wangji is a well-known celebrity in the immortal sect with high prestige, and his brother Zewu Jun Lan Xichen is the head of the Gusu Lan clan. The two brothers have always been harmonious, and it is best not to quarrel with each other if they can.
Furthermore, Jiang Cheng’s sword “Three Poisons” and Lan Wangji’s sword “Bi Chen” have never officially clashed, and it is still unclear who will win.Although he has this family heirloom ring “Purple Lightning” in his hand, Lan Wangji’s “Wangji” piano also has a great reputation.The most intolerable thing for Jiang Cheng was to be at a disadvantage and not be 100% sure, so he would not consider taking action with Lan Wangji.
Jiang Cheng slowly took back his left hand that was stroking the ring.It seems that Lan Wangji has made up his mind to intervene in this matter, and it is not convenient for him to be a villain again.Keep this in mind for now.Jiang Cheng made a trade-off and turned around to see Jin Ling still covering his mouth angrily, saying, “Hanguang-Jun wants to punish you, so just accept his discipline this time. It’s not easy to control someone else’s juniors.”
He’s tone was sarcastic, and he didn’t know who he was mocking.Lan Wangji never quarreled with his words, and he listened as if he hadn’t heard anything.Jiang Cheng’s words were thorny and changed again: “Why are you still standing, waiting for the prey to bump into you and stab your sword? If you can’t take the things from Dafan Mountain today, you don’t have to come to me in the future!”
Jin Ling glared at Wei Wuxian fiercely, but did not dare to glare at Lan Wangji, who was being silenced. He sheathed his sword, saluted the two elders, and retreated with his bow.Lan SiZhui said: “Sect Master Jiang, the Gusu Lan Sect will return all the Immortal Binding Nets that were destroyed.”
Jiang Cheng sneered, “No need!” He chose the opposite direction and walked down the mountain.The guest behind him kept silent and followed, knowing that he would be punished if he went back, with a sad face.
After they disappeared, Lan Jingyi said: “Why is Sect Master Jiang doing this!” After saying this, he remembered the Lan family tutor, who could not say anything behind his back, and was so frightened that he glanced at Hanguang Jun, shut up and retreated.Lan SiZhui smiled lightly at Wei Wuxian and said, “Master Mo, we meet again.”
Wei Wuxian twitched the corner of his mouth.Lan Wangji spoke up, and his instructions were concise and clear, with no fancy words: “Go do it.”
Only then did several juniors remember what Dafan Mountain was for, put away their thoughts, and respectfully waited for their teachings.After a while, Lan Wangji said again: “Do your best. Don’t be too strong.”
This voice is low and magnetic. If you get close, it will definitely make your heart tremble.The juniors behaved themselves as they should, not daring to stay any longer and walking deeper into the forest.Wei Wuxian thought to himself, Jiang Cheng and Lan Zhan are really two completely different people, even their instructions to the younger generation are completely opposite.Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw Lan Wangji nodding indiscernibly towards he, and couldn’t help but be slightly startled.
Lan Wangji has been tooth-achingly serious since he was young, serious and rigid, as if he has never been lively. There is no trace of sand in his eyes, and he strongly disagrees with Wei Wuxian’s cultivation of the ghost path.Lan SiZhui should have informed Lan WangJi of his suspicious behavior in Mojiazhuang, but he still nodded to him, presumably to thank him for relieving the Lan family’s juniors from difficulties.Wei Wuxian immediately returned the gesture without thinking, and when he looked up again, Lan Wangji’s back had disappeared.
After a pause, he turned around and walked down the mountain.
No matter what kind of prey is in Dafan Mountain, he can’t take it.Wei Wuxian would not fight with anyone but Jin Ling.
It turned out to be Jin Ling.
There were so many children in the Lanling Jin clan, and he really didn’t expect that he would meet Jin Ling.If he knew, how could he ridicule Jin Ling as “a mother-in-law but not a mother-in-law”?If someone else said this to Jin Ling, he would teach this person what it means to have trouble come from the mouth.But it was he himself who said this.
After standing still for a moment, Wei Wuxian raised his hand and slapped himself.
The slap was very loud and hard, and the right side of his face felt hot. Suddenly, the bushes on the side were buzzing. Wei Wuxian glanced at a flowery donkey’s head and lowered his hand.The donkey took the initiative to nudge it this time. Wei Wuxian tugged on its long ears and said with a wry smile, “You want a hero to save a beauty, but you asked me to act bravely.”
The donkey was humming, and a wave of monks came up from the end of the hillside.After more than four hundred fairy-binding nets were cut down by Lan Wangji with a flying sword, the monks who had been hesitating in Buddha’s Foot Town all came back.This group of people could be considered Jin Ling’s opponents. Wei Wuxian thought for a moment whether he should beat them down again. After thinking about it, he silently stepped aside.
This group of children from various families in mixed colors complained as they walked: “This little Mr. Jin, the Jin family and the Jiang family are so spoiled by him. He is so domineering at a young age. If he takes over the Lanling Jin family in the future, it will be a huge disaster. Let’s all stop living!”
Wei Wuxian slowed down his pace.
A soft-hearted female cultivator sighed: “How can you not get used to him and pamper him? Both his parents died after peeing so little.”
“Junior sister, you can’t say that. So what if both parents are dead? There are too many parents in the world. If everyone is as virtuous as he, then that’s okay!”
“Wei Wuxian is really ruthless. Jin Ling’s mother is Jiang Cheng’s sister, the senior sister who raised him single-handedly.”
“Jiang Yanli is also unjust, for bringing out such a white-eyed wolf. Jin Zixuan is even more miserable, because he and Wei Wuxian had some issues in the past, and ended up like this.”
“Why does Wei Wuxian have trouble with everyone…”
“No. Apart from the crazy dogs he raised, who else have you heard that he has a good relationship with? His enemies are full of anger and resentment. Even he and Hanguang-Jun hate each other and are incompatible with each other.”
“Speaking of which, today is all thanks to Hanguang-kun…”
After walking for a while, the sound of gurgling water suddenly flowed into Wei Wuxian’s ears.
This was something I had never heard when he came.Only then did Wei Wuxian realize that he had taken the wrong path down the mountain and had branched onto another road.
Leading the donkey, we came to the edge of the stream. The moon was rising above the sky. There were no branches and leaves blocking the stream bank, and the stream was cracked with white frost.In the reflection, Wei Wuxian saw a face that changed unpredictably with the flow of water.
He slapped the water hard, breaking up the funny face. He raised his wet palm and wiped away the whitewash with a few handfuls of the stream.
What was reflected in the water was a very elegant young man.She was as clean as if she had been washed by the moonlight, her eyebrows were relaxed and her eyes were bright, and the corners of her lips were slightly curved.But when he lowered his head and stared at himself, the water drops on his eyelashes were like tears, falling continuously.
This was a young and unfamiliar face, not Wei Wuxian, the Yiling ancestor who had turned the world upside down and unleashed a bloody storm.
After staring at this face for a long time, Wei Wuxian wiped his face a few more times, rubbed his eyes, and sat down by the stream.
It’s not that I can’t bear the verbal criticism from others. After all, when I made my choice, I already knew very clearly what path I would face in the future. I already warned myself: Remember Yunmeng Jiang’s family motto – “Do something you know you can’t do.”
I just think that my heart is as stubborn as a stone, but after all, we are not grass and trees.
The little donkey seemed to know that he was in a bad mood at the moment, so he rarely shouted impatiently, stayed quiet for a moment, and then left with a flick of his tail.Wei Wuxian sat by the stream, showing no reaction. He looked back and knocked his hooves, but Wei Wuxian still ignored him.Hua Lu could only come back angrily, biting Wei Wuxian’s shirt with his teeth, and pulled at it.
You can go or not go. Since it was all about biting, Wei Wuxian followed it.The donkey led he under some trees and circled around a piece of grass.There is a Qiankun bag lying quietly in the grass.There is a broken golden net hanging above, which must have been dropped by some unlucky monk when he broke free.Wei Wuxian picked up the bag and opened it. There were a lot of miscellaneous items inside, such as medicinal wine gourds, seal talismans, a small mirror for looking at demons, etc.
After digging for a while, he casually grabbed a talisman seal, and suddenly a ball of flame burst out from his hand.
What burned was a burning Yin Talisman. As the name suggests, it uses Yin Qi as fuel and will automatically catch fire when encountering Yin Qi. The stronger the Yin Qi, the more vigorous the burning.It burned as soon as it was taken out, indicating that there was a Yin spirit not far from Wei Wuxian.
As soon as he saw the fire, Wei Wuxian concentrated on alert and held it up to test the direction.When it turned to the east, the fire weakened, but when it turned to the west, the flames suddenly jumped up.he took a few steps this way and saw a white, rickety figure appearing under a tree.
The talisman burned out, and embers fell from his fingertips.An old man turned his back to him and was mumbling.
Wei Wuxian slowly approached, and the words the old man muttered became clearer.
“It hurts, it hurts.”
Wei Wuxian asked, “Where does it hurt?”
The old man replied: “Head, head. My head.”
Wei WuXian said, “Let me take a look.”
He took a few steps to the side, turned to the old man’s side, and saw a big blood-red hole on his forehead.This is a dead soul, most likely murdered to death by being hit on the head with a murder weapon.He was wearing a shroud, and the materials and workmanship were of high quality, indicating that he had been properly buried.Not the lost living soul of a living person.
However, there should never be such a dead soul on this Dafan Mountain.
Wei Wuxian couldn’t figure out the irrationality of this, and felt something was wrong. He jumped on the donkey’s back, slapped it, gave it a shout, and encouraged it to chase Jin Ling and others into the mountain.
There are many monks wandering around the ancient tombs, waiting for help.Some people boldly held up the flag to summon the Yin, but they only summoned a group of Yin spirits who were crying and fighting for their lives.Wei Wuxian tightened the rope, glanced around, and asked loudly, “Excuse me, please tell me. Where are the young masters from the Jin family and the Lan family?”
After washing my face, someone really answered me, and a monk replied: “We are leaving here and going to the Tiannv Temple.”
Wei WuXian asked, “Temple of Heavenly Lady?”
After hearing that all the Immortal Binding Nets had been broken, the rural retail investor sneaked up again and was among the night patrol team.The middle-aged man looked at the man’s clothes and the bared-tusked donkey. He looked like the lunatic who had just saved them. He was quite embarrassed and pretended to be fine, but the round-faced girl showed him the way: “Over there. It’s a cave temple on this mountain.”
Wei Wuxian asked, “Which immortal is worshiped in the temple?”
The round-faced girl said: “Okay, it seems to be a natural stone statue of a goddess.”
Wei Wuxian nodded and said, “Thank you very much.”
Immediately he ran towards the Tiannv Temple in a hurry.
A lazy man gets married, the coffin is struck by thunder, the fiancé, the father and his daughter are bitten to death by jackals and lose their souls one after another. The gorgeous shrouds… are like beads, connected together to form a complete thread.No wonder the Feng Xie Pan can’t point out the direction, and the Zhao Yin Flag doesn’t work.They all underestimated the things in this Dafan Mountain.
It’s not what they think it is at all!
