[R18] The Patriarch of the Demonic Way (newly revised version) – “The Patriarch of the Demonic Way (Newly Revised Edition)” Chapter 64 [English]

Chapter 64 Yourou Fourteenth 2

Wei Wuxian took out his flute and played a piece according to the score. Sure enough, the two tunes were disconnected.The half score on the previous page and the half score on the next page are not the same piece of music at all.

There should be another page between the two pages, which was carefully torn away without leaving any traces.

This person tore it very carefully, leaving no scraps of pages, making it difficult for anyone to notice.Wei Wuxian turned over the book and saw a three-character title written on the dark blue cover.

Wei WuXian asked, “‘Luan Po Chao’? What kind of book is this? The tunes in the book are a bit weird.”

Lan Wangji said: “A collection of Japanese secret songs.”

Wei WuXian said, “The one from Japan? No wonder the tune is different from ours.”

Lan Xichen’s expression was complicated and he said: “…”Luangpochao” is said to be a collection of evil songs collected by a monk from the Lan clan in Gusu who drifted overseas on a boat and wandered in Japan for several years. If the songs in this book are played with spiritual power, they can be used to harm people. They may become increasingly thin, or feel irritable, or have qi and blood agitation, or the five senses fail… Those with high spiritual power can kill people within seven rings.”

Wei Wuxian slapped the table and said, “This is it!”

He was so happy that the photo almost knocked down the paper lantern on the desk. Lan Wangji quickly lifted it up with his eyes and hands.Wei Wuxian said, “Sect Master Lan, is there a piece of music in this book called “Lan Po Chao” that can disturb people’s minds, make people’s spirits agitate, make their blood boil, make them irritable and irritable?”

Lan Xichen said: “…There should be some.”

Wei Wuxian added, “Jin Guangyao’s spiritual power is weak and he cannot kill people within seven rings, and it is too obvious to do so. He will definitely not choose such a lethal evil song. But if he plays the Heart-clearing Mysterious Song for Chi Feng Zun to help calm his mind and continues to play it for three months, is it possible that this music will catalyze Chi Feng Zun’s attack like taking a chronic poison?”

Lan Xichen said: “…Yes.”

Wei WuXian said: “Then it is reasonable to speculate. The fragment of music that does not belong to “Washing China” comes from a lost page of “Lanpo Code”. The Japanese evil songs recorded in “Lanpo Code” are quite complex and difficult to learn. He did not have time to copy them in the forbidden library, so he had to tear them away – no, no, Jin Guangyao has a photographic memory. He tore this page away, not because heI can’t remember it, but I want to die without any evidence.This ensures that if something happens one day, or someone catches me on the spot, I won’t be able to determine the origin of this melody.

“Everything he did was extremely cautious. In front of you, he calmly played the complete version of “Cleaning Flowers”. Chifeng Zun is not a person who is obsessed with elegance. He heard that you played “Cleaning Flowers” by Sect Leader Lan, so he should have a general impression of the melody. Therefore, Jin Guangyao did not dare to play the evil tune directly for himListen, it took a lot of effort to combine two pieces of music with completely different styles and completely opposite effects. It can be blended well and seamlessly.I guess, he is really talented in music.Only a small amount of spiritual power is used in the passage of “Cleaning Flowers”, and it is only used in the passage of “Ranpochao”.After all, Chifeng Zun is not good at this, so naturally he can’t tell that one of the passages has been tampered with by Jin Guangyao to become a death-inducing evil song!”

After a long silence, Lan Xichen whispered: “…Although he often goes in and out of the Cloud Recesses, I have never told him about the forbidden library at the bottom of the library.”

Wei Wuxian said: “Master Lan, with all due respect, Lianfangzun worked as an undercover agent in Wen’s Evernight City in Qishan during the Sun Shooting Campaign, and he was an extremely successful undercover agent. He could even find Wen Ruohan’s secret room, and sneaked in without anyone noticing, memorizing all the maps and files, transcribing the information and sending it back to Jinlin Terrace. In heIn front of us, the forbidden library of the Lan Family Library…is really nothing.”

Lan Xichen held the piece of paper with the piece of music written on it in his hand, stared at it for a while, and said, “I’ll think of a way to try this piece of music.”

Lan Wangji asked, “Brother?”

Lan Xichen said: “When my eldest brother passed away, the period of mass grave siege and suppression was over, and Mr. Wei was no longer alive. If tested, this fragment of music can indeed confuse people’s minds. It is not a fabrication. I…”

Wei Wuxian said, “Zewu Lord, if you try evil music on strangers, I’m afraid it goes against the Gusu Lan family’s family motto.”

Lan Xichen said, “I’ll try it myself.”

As the head of the Gusu Lan family, he actually said such nonsense, which showed that he was very upset at the moment.Lan Wangji raised his voice slightly: “Brother!”

Lan Xichen put his forehead with his hands, as if he was enduring something, and said in a deep voice: “Wangji, the Jin Guangyao I know, the Jin Guangyao you know, and the Jin Guangyao in the eyes of the world are completely different people! Over the years, in my eyes, he has always been… patient with humiliation, caring for all living beings, and respectful and compassionate. I have always firmly believed that the world’s view of himThe criticisms are all due to misunderstandings, and what I know is the most true.You want me to immediately believe that everything this person said to me is false. He designed to kill one of his adopted brothers. I was also part of his design. I even helped him… Can you allow me to be more cautious before making a judgment?”

Lan Xichen originally thought that Nie Mingjue and Jin Guangyao had a grudge, and wanted them to reconcile as before, so he taught Jin Guangyao to practice Qingxin Xuanqu and asked him to calm Nie Mingjue’s mind on his behalf.Who knew that his good intentions would turn into Jin Guangyao’s viciousness? How can people deal with this?

None of the three spoke again.It wasn’t until he left the library that Lan Wangji said, “I’m going to see my uncle.”

Lan Xichen, who had been silent for a long time, also said: “I will take Mr. Wei back. You can come back later.”

He led Wei Wuxian for a while on the white stone path in Yunshen, and then returned to the secluded small building full of gentian in Yunshen.Standing in front of the door, Wei Wuxian asked, “Mr. Lan, does he know that Lord Hanguang…”

Lan Xichen said: “Not long after my uncle woke up, I asked everyone to say no more to him.”

If Lan Qiren knew about the good deeds Lan Wangji had done with him at Jinlin Terrace, he would have passed out alive as soon as he woke up.Wei WuXian said, “Thank you for your hard work, Senior Lan.”

Lan Xichen said: “Uncle, it’s really hard.”

Suddenly, he said: “Master Wei, do you know where this house is?”

Wei Wuxian asked, “Why do Lord Zewu think I know?”

Lan Xichen glanced at he and said, “This is where my mother lived in Yunshen.”

Lan Xichen’s mother is also Lan Wangji’s mother.Wei Wuxian found it strange.The residences of the successive heads of the Gusu Lan family were called “cold rooms”, and they were definitely not this small house hidden in the corner of the unknown place in the clouds.Could it be that Lan Wangji’s parents, like Jiang Fengmian and Mrs. Yu, had different temperaments and were forced to get married, so they lived in separate places?

No matter how you think about it, there is no happy reason why the master of the house and his wife are separated.Moreover, the wife of Qing Hengjun, the previous head of the Gusu Lan family, was said to be weak and weak. She had been recovering from illness all year round and was not suitable for seeing people. Others knew very little about her. Everyone secretly speculated that this “illness” was a “disease” that was difficult to see, and that her arms were disfigured or disabled.Therefore, Wei Wuxian couldn’t ask any more questions and remained silent, waiting for Lan Xichen to tell him.

Lan Xichen said: “Mr. Wei, you should know that my father has been in seclusion all year round and has no interest in worldly affairs. Over the years, the Gusu Lan Sect has almost been managed by my uncle.”

Wei WuXian said, “I know this.”

Lan Xichen lowered his hand, holding Laibing’s hand in his white sleeves, and said slowly: “My father has been in seclusion all year round because of my mother. This is a residence… rather than a place of house arrest.”

Wei Wuxian was stunned.

Lord Zewu and Lord Hanguang’s father, Lord Qingheng, was once a famous celebrity. He became famous at a young age and had an unparalleled reputation. However, at a young age, he suddenly retired and announced that he was getting married and no longer involved in worldly affairs. It was said to be a retreat, but in fact it was more like a retreat.Others have speculated on many reasons, but none have been confirmed.

Lan Xichen leaned down by the gentian bush, tenderly caressing the delicate petals, and said, “When my father was young, on his way back from a night hunt, he met my mother outside the city of Suzhou.” He smiled slightly and said, “It is said that it was love at first sight.”

Wei Wuxian also smiled and said, “Young and passionate.”

Lan Xichen said, “But this woman was not attracted to him, and she killed one of my father’s mentors.”

This was truly beyond imagination. Wei Wuxian knew it would be rude to ask, but when he thought that these were Lan Wangji’s parents, he felt compelled to ask, “Why?!”

Lan Xichen said: “I don’t know, but I think it’s just four words: ‘rights and wrongs’.”

Wei Wuxian didn’t want to go into details, so he pressed the button forcefully and said, “Then… what happens next?”

“Then,” Lan Xichen said, “my father was naturally very painful when he learned the truth. But after repeated struggles, he secretly brought the woman back. Regardless of the opposition of the clan, he worshiped her in silence and told everyone in the clan that this is his wife for life. Anyone who wants to touch her must first pass the test of him.”

Wei Wuxian opened his eyes wide.

Lan Xichen continued: “After the ceremony was completed, my father found a house to lock up my mother, and then found a house to lock himself up as well. It’s called seclusion, but it actually means thinking about his mistakes.”

After a pause, he said: “Master Wei, can you understand why he did this?”

After a moment of silence, Wei Wuxian said, “He could neither forgive the murderer of his mentor, nor could he watch the woman he loved die, so he had no choice but to marry her to protect her life, and at the same time force himself not to see her.”

Lan Xichen asked, “Do you think this is right?”

Wei Wuxian said, “I don’t know.”

Lan Xichen looked slightly confused and said, “Then what do you think should be done?”

Wei Wuxian said, “I don’t know.”

After a while, Lan Xichen whispered: “My father did this, it can be said that he was desperate. The elders in the clan were very angry, but they all watched he grow up, and they had no choice but to strictly keep the secret and hint to the outside world that the wife of the Gusu Lan family had a hidden illness and was not suitable for people to see. When Wangji and I were born, he immediately took us out and gave us to others to take care of us. When we were a little older, we were handed over to my uncle for instruction.

“My uncle… was originally an upright person. Because of my mother’s affairs, my father committed suicide. He especially hated people with bad conduct. Therefore, he taught me and Wangji with great dedication and strictness. We can only see my mother once a month, in this small building.”

The two young children face only their stern uncle, strict teachings, and mountains of books all day long. No matter how tired or tired they are, they must straighten their young waists and become the best children in the clan and role models in the eyes of others.She is not allowed to see her close relatives all year round, nor is she allowed to roll around in her father’s arms and act wild, nor is she allowed to cuddle up to her mother and act like a spoiled child.

It is clear that they did nothing wrong.

Lan Xichen said: “Every time Wangji and I go to see her, she never complains about how miserable she is being locked up here and can’t move around, nor does she ask about our homework. She especially likes to tease Wangji, but the more Wangji teases him, the more reluctant he is to speak, and the worse his face becomes. This has been the case since he was a child. However,” he smiled: “Although Wangji never said it, I know that he waits for the day to meet his mother every month. He does the same, and so do I.”

Wei Wuxian imagined the young Lan Wangji being held in his mother’s arms, his snow-white face turning pink, and he also laughed.Before the funny feeling dissipated, Lan Xichen continued: “But one day, my uncle suddenly told us that there was no need to go anymore.

“Mother is gone.”

Wei Wuxian whispered, “How old was Lan Zhan at that time?”

Lan Xichen said: “Six years old.”

He said: “I was too young at that time and didn’t understand the meaning of “no more”. No matter how others tried to comfort me or my uncle scolded me, he would continue to come here every month, sit on the porch, and wait for someone to open the door for him. Later, when I got older and understood that my mother would not come back, and no one would open the door again, he would still come.”

Lan Xichen stood up, looked at Wei Wuxian with his dark eyes, and said, “Wangji has been very stubborn since he was a child.”

The leaves were rustling, and the clusters of gentian flowers in front of the house were swaying in the wind. Wei Wuxian’s eyes fell on the wooden porch of the small building, as if he saw a little child, tied up and wiping his forehead, sitting upright in front of the house, silently waiting for the door to open.

He said: “Mrs. Lan must be a very gentle woman.”

Lan Xichen said: “The mother in my memory is indeed like this. I don’t know why she did such a thing back then, but in fact, I also…”

He took a deep breath and confessed: “I don’t want to know.”

After being silent for a long time, Lan Xichen lowered his eyes and took out the cracked ice. A gust of night wind suddenly brought a faint sound of the flute, the flute sound was low, like a sigh.

Wei Wuxian had heard Lan Xichen play the ice cracker in the past. The sound of the flute was just like Lord Zewu himself, like spring breeze turning into rain, warm and gentle.At this moment, the sound of the flute is still as exquisite as ever, but it is unpleasant to listen to.

The night breeze was blowing gently, and Lan Xichen’s black hair and forehead were slightly messy. However, the head of the Gusu Lan family, who always attached great importance to his manners, ignored it at all. It was not until the end of the song that he put down the cracked ice and said: “I don’t know where to play music late at night. I have gone out of my way many times today, which made Mr. Wei laugh.”

Wei Wuxian said, “What’s the matter? Lord Zewu must have forgotten that the person standing in front of you is the person who has committed the most crimes…”

Lan Xichen smiled and said, “The Gusu Lan Sect has never disclosed my relationship with Wangji to the outside world. I shouldn’t have told you. Tonight, I suddenly wanted to talk to someone, and it was an impulse.”

Wei WuXian said, “Wei is not a talkative person, Lord Zewu can rest assured.”

Lan Xichen said: “But I won’t hide anything from Wangji.”

Wei Wuxian said, “If he doesn’t want to say it, I won’t ask.”

Lan Xichen said: “But with Yi Wangji’s temperament, how can you tell me if you don’t ask him? There are some things that you won’t tell even if you ask him.”

Wei Wuxian wanted to answer, but he heard footsteps behind him.Looking back, Lan Wangji walked towards him under the moonlight.He holds two round wine jars with bright red seals in his right hand.Wei Wuxian’s eyes lit up and he said, “Hanguang-Jun, you are so considerate!”
