There are still imprints left by Zidian on the evil curse marks, so it is not difficult to judge. Wei Wuxian turned around and said, "As long as both of them are alive in this world, they will meet sooner or later."

Lan WangJi didn't seem to have the will to dwell on this topic with him, and said, "Your legs, don't leave."

Wei WuXian said, "If you don't leave, are you carrying me?"

"..." Lan Wangji looked at him quietly, and an ominous shadow flashed across Wei Wuxian's heart.

If it was the former Lan Zhan, he would definitely be choked by his words, and either sneer or ignore him. But it's hard to say how to deal with the current Lan Zhan. Sure enough, when Lan Wangji heard the words, he stood in front of him, as if he really bent down, bent his knees, and humbly carried him on his back. Wei Wuxian was frightened again, and hurriedly said, "Stop it, I just said it casually. It was only numb from being slapped twice by Zidian, and it wasn't that my leg was broken. It's too ugly for a big man to have to carry it on his back. "

Lan WangJi said, "Is it ugly?"

Wei Wuxian said, "Yes."

After a moment of silence, Lan WangJi said, "But you also backed me."

Wei WuXian said, "Is there such a thing? Why can't I remember."

Lan WangJi said lightly, "You never remember this."

Wei WuXian said, "Everyone says that I don't remember xing well, well, it's not good if it's not good. Anyway, don't memorize it."

Lan Wangji asked, "Really don't carry it?"

Wei Wuxian said decisively, "No back."

The two stood facing each other for a while, and suddenly, Lan Wangji wrapped one arm around his back, slightly attached to him, and the other hand copied his knee.

As soon as he copied it, he copied it, and held Wei Wuxian in his arms in the air.

Wei Wuxian didn't expect this to be the end of "No Back", and said in horror, "Lan Zhan!!!"

Lan WangJi hugged him, walked very smoothly, and answered very smoothly: "You said not to carry it."

Wei WuXian said, "Then it didn't tell you to hug me like that?"

It was already night, and there were no pedestrians on the street, no matter who it was, the face was not too disgraced. Wei Wuxian wasn't a thin-skinned person either. After being held for a while, he relaxed and said with a smile, "Who are you thicker-skinned than?"

The clear sandalwood lingered by his side, Lan Wangji didn't look at him, he looked straight ahead, the wind didn't move, and he still had an incomparably upright, serious and indifferent face. Wei Wuxian saw that he was deaf, and he thought to himself, "I didn't expect Lan Zhan to be very revengeful. I used to tease him and tell him to eat it boring. Now he wants to get it back, and it's boring for me to eat it. . This is too much progress. Not only the cultivation base has grown, but the face has also grown."

He said, "Lan Zhan, you recognized me in Dafan Mountain."

Lan Wangji said, "Mm."

Wei Wuxian asked, "How did you recognize it?"

Lan Wangji lowered his eyelashes and glanced at him: "Want to know?"

Wei Wuxian responded affirmatively, "Yeah."

Lan Wangji said, "You told me yourself."

Wei WuXian said, "Myself? Because of Jin Ling? Because of Wen Ning I summoned? Neither is it?"

Thinking that something shameful was mentioned, Lan Wangji's eyes seemed to have ripples. However, this untraceable fluctuation was fleeting, and immediately returned to a deep pool. He said solemnly, "I think for myself."

Wei WuXian said, "I asked you just because I didn't expect it!"

This time, no matter what he asked, Lan WangJi kept his mouth shut. Wei Wuxian scratched and scratched to no avail, and continued, "Then change the question. Why are you helping me?"

Lan WangJi calmly said, "Same as above."

He entered the inn with Wei Wuxian in his arms, except for the guy at the lobby counter who spit a sip of water, no onlookers did anything too outrageous. When they came to the door of the room, Wei WuXian said, "Okay, here we are, it's time to let me down. You don't have any extra hands to open..."

Before he finished speaking, Lan WangJi made a very rude move. This may be the first time in his life so far that he has done such a rude act.

He hugged Wei Wuxian and kicked the door open.

As soon as the two doors opened, the person sitting inside immediately cried, "Hanguang-Jun, I don't know, I don't know, I..."

After seeing the posture of the two people outside the door, he reluctantly finished the last sentence: "...I really don't know."

It really is "one question and three unknowns".

Lan Wangji, as if he had never seen it, carried Wei Wuxian into the door and put him on the mat. Nie Huaisang felt terrible, and immediately unfolded the fan to cover his face, saying "see no evil". Wei Wuxian crossed the folding fan and looked at it.

He, a former classmate, hasn't changed much over the years. What it was then, what it is now. A pair of docile eyebrows that can be kneaded at will, and a good taste in clothes, he must have spent a lot of thought on this. To say that he is a Xuanmen fairy head, it is better to say that he is an idler. Wearing a dragon robe does not look like a prince, and wearing a long knife does not look like a family head.

He refused to admit it, so Lan WangJi put the piece of cloth bitten by the black-maned spirit dog on the table. Nie Huaisang covered his missing sleeve and said gloomily, "I just happened to be passing by. I really don't know anything."

Wei WuXian said, "You don't know, then let me tell you, see if you can listen, and you'll know something."

Nie Huaisang murmured, not knowing how to respond. Wei Wuxian said it.

"In the Xingluling area of ​​Qinghe, there are rumors of 'Cannibal Mountain' and 'Cannibal Castle', but there are no real victims. So, this is a rumor. And rumors will keep ordinary people away from Xingluling. So, it It's actually a line of defense. And only the first."

"From the first, there is the second. The second line of defense is the walking corpses on the Xinglu Ridge. Even if there are ordinary people who are not afraid of the rumors of the cannibal, they will break into the ridge, or accidentally enter the ridge and see the walking dead. They will also run away. But these corpses are small in number and low lethality, so they don't cause real damage."

"The third line of defense is the maze near the stone castle. The first two lines are for ordinary people, and only this one is for Xuanmen monks. The scope of action is also limited to ordinary monks. A cultivator who holds a spiritual weapon or a spiritual dog, who specializes in breaking the mysteries, or a celestial sect of the level of Hanguang-Jun, this line of defense can only be cracked."

"The triple defense is to prevent the stone fort on Xinglu Ridge from being discovered. Who is the person who built the stone fort can't be understood. This is the territory of the Qinghe Nie Clan. Except for the Nie family, no one else can easily find it. Qinghe set up these three levels. Besides, you happened to appear near the stone castle and left evidence. It must be said that this is a coincidence, and no one will believe it."

"What is the purpose of the Nie family building a man-eating castle on Xinglu Ridge? Where did the corpses in the walls come from? Did they eat it? Sect Master Nie, if you don't make it clear here today, I'm afraid that in the future Once it’s stabbed out, all the families in the Xuanmen will attack and question it together, and when you have to say it, no one will listen to you or believe what you say.”

Nie Huaisang said as if he had given up on himself, "...that's not a man-eating castle at all. That...that's just my family's ancestral grave!"

Wei WuXian asked curiously, "Ancestral tomb? Whose ancestral tomb doesn't put a body in it, but a knife is put in the coffin?"

Nie Huaisang said with a sad face, "Hanguang-Jun, before I say it, can you swear an oath, for the sake of two generations, my eldest brother and your eldest brother, no matter what I say next, you... If there is someone next to you, you must not spread it out. In case it is stabbed one day later, the two of you will also say a few words for me and be a witness. You have always been the most trustworthy, as long as you swear, I will believe it. "

Lan Wangji said, "As you wish."

Wei WuXian said, "You said it's not a man-eating castle at all, so it hasn't eaten man?"

Nie Huaisang gritted his teeth and said honestly, "...I have eaten."

☆、Chapter 26

He immediately added: "But, only once! And the main fault was not in our family, and it was already decades ago. The rumor of the man-eating castle on Xinglu Ridge has been circulating since then. I... I just It's just fanning the flames and amplifying the rumors several times."

Lan Wangji politely said, "I would like to hear the details."

As soon as he sat there, the power of those words was almost like a threat, and Nie Huaisang started to take care of him.

He said: "Hanguang-Jun, you know that our Nie family is different from other immortal clans. Because the ancestor of the family was a butcher, other clans cultivated immortal swords, and ours cultivated the way of the sword."

This is no secret. Even the family crest of the Qinghe Nie Sect is a shòu head pattern with a ferocious face, like a dog. Nie Huaisang continued, "Because the way of cultivation is different from other families, and the ancestors who founded the family were also butchers, it is inevitable that they would be bloody. The sabres of our patriarchs in all dynasties are extremely violent and murderous. The bào body died violently. And their xingqíngbào irritability also has a lot to do with this.”

Take Nie Huaisang's elder brother, Nie Mingjue, for example. This young immortal head, Lan Xichen and Jin Guangyao are sworn brothers, Chi Fengzun is resolute and dignified; Zewu Jun is as gentle as jade, and his character is high and clean; Lianfangzun is exquisite in all aspects, cunning and sharp. The three of them became feudal lords during the She Day Campaign, and each had a good story, and was later called the three honors by all the families. But Nie MingJue was in the limelight when he went into trouble at an important event and died of bloodshed, and many of the attendees were chased and injured by him when he went mad. The fame of the world has come to such an end.

Nie Huaisang must have thought of his eldest brother, and he felt depressed for a while, and then said, "...Before these patriarchs were alive, the restlessness of their sabres could still be suppressed by their masters. But after the death of their masters, if they were left unchecked, they would change. into a murder weapon."

Wei Wuxian raised his eyebrows, "This is close to the evil way."

Nie Huaisang hurriedly said, "This is not the same! The reason why the demons are crooked is that they want people's lives. But our family's knives don't want people, but those resentful ghosts, evil spirits, and monsters. They behead these things for a lifetime. If they don't have these things to get rid of, they will make trouble for themselves, making the family uneasy. Dao Ling only recognizes one master and cannot be used by others. We, the descendants, can't melt the sword. First, it is disrespectful to the ancestors, and secondly, if it melts, it may not be solved."

Wei Wuxian commented, "Master."

Nie Huaisang said, "That's not it. The sword that followed all the ancestors to cut through thorns and search for immortals was originally the uncle."

No wonder the Qinghe Nie Sect never condemned his cultivation methods. Although he participated in the encirclement and suppression of the mass graves, it was only for revenge for the First World War. It turns out that the cultivation methods of their family through the ages are very debatable.

Nie Huaisang continued, "As the cultivation of the patriarch progresses from generation to generation, this problem has become more serious from generation to generation. Until the sixth generation of the patriarch of my family came up with a solution."

Wei WuXian asked, "Just to build a man-eating castle?"

Nie Huaisang said, "No, no, although there is a connection, I didn't think of this method at first. This is what the sixth-generation patriarch did. He gave his father and grandfather's knife, punched two coffins, and dug a mausoleum. There were no precious treasures in the mausoleum, but hundreds of dead corpses that were about to turn into ghouls."

Lan Wangji frowned slightly, and Nie Huaisang was so frightened that he immediately said, "Hanguang-Jun, listen to my explanation! These corpses were not killed by our family! They were collected from all over the world! It was bought with a lot of money. The six-generation patriarch said that these sword spirits want to fight against evil spirits, so let them fight endlessly. These corpses that are about to be turned into corpses are buried together with the sword coffin, which is to be regarded as the funeral object of the sword spirit. The sword spirit will suppress the corpse's corpse transformation, and at the same time these corpses can also alleviate the needs and madness of the sword spirit, one thing is going up and one down, the status quo is maintained, and each other is checked and balanced. By this method, the peace of future generations has been exchanged. "

Wei WuXian said, "Then why did the stone fort be built later? To bury the body in the wall? And you said it ate people?"

Nie Huaisang said, "These questions are actually the same question. It's considered to have eaten people. But that's not intentional!!! Our family of six generations is majoring in the tomb of knives, and it's a very common one. His tomb, and subsequent generations followed his example. But more than fifty years ago, this tomb was dug by a gang of tomb robbers.”

Wei Wuxian made an "oh" sound, thinking in his heart, "This is really breaking ground on Tai Sui's head."

Nie Huaisang said, "No matter how careful and low-key it is to repair a tomb, a few words will come out. The group of tomb robbers inquired from various sources, and they believed that there was a large tomb of the former dynasty on Xingluling, and they had already stepped on this point. , came prepared. This group of people actually had one or two capable people with real talents and real learning, and they actually asked them to identify the position, broke the confusion, and found the tomb of our family's sword. One The robbers went down and went to the tomb, doing this business, they saw a lot of corpses, and they weren't afraid of the dead inside, but they rummaged around looking for gold jewelry, they didn't know how to avoid it, they breathed next to the corpse, and they were all A young and middle-aged man full of yang. It should be noted that the corpses lying inside are all about to turn into corpses!

"You can imagine what will happen. More than a dozen corpses were murdered on the spot.

"But this group of tomb thieves were brave and well-prepared, and they actually asked them to use their hands and feet to kill all the corpses that had turned into corpses. After a fierce battle, they beat the corpses all over the floor. Only then did I realize that the tomb was dangerous and prepared to evacuate. It was during the evacuation that they were eaten!"

"The number of corpses placed in the tomb is strictly controlled. One is not much, and the other is not much, just enough to maintain a balance with the sword spirit. And this group of tomb robbers went in and made a scene. If it just caused the corpse to fall. Fortunately, after they retreated, the sword spirit would exert its strength to suppress the corpse transformation. But they smashed all the corpses into pieces, and suddenly there were more than ten fewer. In order to maintain sufficient corpses and The sword spirits restrained each other, so... I had to... automatically seal them up, trap them in the tomb alive, and ask this group of people to fill the vacancy they created..."

"The tomb of the sword was destroyed, and the owner of the family at the time began to think of other ways. He re-selected a site on Xinglu Ridge, no longer repaired the tomb, but instead built a sacrificial hall to prevent tomb robbers from coming again. , to hide the body in the wall to hide the eyes and ears.

"This sacrificial sword hall is also the rumored 'cannibal castle'. The group of tomb robbers came to Qinghe, disguised as hunters, and they did not come out after entering Xinglu Ling, and there were rumors that they were eaten by monsters in the mountain. Later, when the stone fort was built and the new maze was not set up, someone passed by and saw it. Fortunately, all the stone forts were not built, so he could not get in. But after going down the mountain, he could meet everyone. It is said that there is a strange white castle on Xingluling Mountain, and the man-eating monsters must live in it. Our family thought it would be better to spread the rumors, so that no one dared to approach the area, so we added fuel to it and got one. The legend of 'Cannibal Castle' came out. But it can eat people!"

Nie Huaisang took out a hand towel and a white stone the size of a garlic head from his sleeve. The towel was used to wipe the sweat, and Shiraishi handed it over and said, "You two can look at this."
