From the very beginning, he looked at Jin Guangyao from Nie Mingjue's point of view, and saw the cruelty and ambition of this person. However, if Jin Guangyao was always pretending to be in front of Lan Xichen, there was no reason why he wouldn't trust his sworn brother. , but to believe in a notorious and bloody man. Besides, on the surface, it seems that Nie Mingjue's escapades have a long history, and it seems very reasonable that he would go mad and die in public.

Seeing Lan XiChen noncommittal, he lowered his head and thought. Wei WuXian said, "Sect Master Lan, the direct cause of Chi Fengzun's death was indeed madness, but don't you think this timing is too coincidental? If there is no incentive, why did he leave Jin Guangyao at the end of the day? When will the deadline break out?"

Lan XiChen said, "What do you think is the incentive?"

Wei WuXian said, "I personally think that the reason for this is the pure-hearted Xuanqu he played."

Lan XiChen said, "Young Master Wei, you should also know that I taught him the Xuanyin of Pure Heart that he played."

Wei WuXian said, "Then please listen to Sect Master Lan. Is there anything strange about this song?"

His flute was placed on his head, Wei Wuxian held it up, lowered his head and thought about it, and then he started playing.

In the last three months of Nie Mingjue's life, Jin Guangyao played this piece for him almost every night, so Wei Wuxian remembered the melody clearly. After the song was finished, Wei WuXian said, "Sect Master Lan, is this song really the one you taught him?"

Lan XiChen said: "Exactly. This song is called "Xi Hua", which has the effect of clearing the mind and calming the mind."

Lan WangJi didn't say anything, this means that what Lan XiChen said is true. Wei WuXian said, "Xihua. I've heard a lot of famous Xuanmen songs, why don't I remember its name or melody?"

Lan Wangji said, "This song is cold and difficult to learn."

Wei WuXian asked, "Did Jin GuangYao named him to learn this song?"

Lan XiChen said: "Exactly, although "Washing Hua" is difficult to learn, it is very effective."

Wei WuXian asked, "Is it really so difficult to learn?"

Lan XiChen nodded and said, "It's hard to learn. Didn't Young Master Wei also make a mistake?"

Hearing this, Wei Wuxian's heart moved, and he said, "I was wrong just now?"

Lan Wangji said, "There is a paragraph in the middle, it's wrong."

Wei WuXian smiled and said, "No, no. It's not my fault. It's Jin Guangyao's fault. In the group, he really is so chuī. I can guarantee that I have repeated this song well. ."

Lan XiChen said in surprise: "Then he learned wrong? Impossible."

Wei WuXian said, "It's really impossible. How could Lian Fangzun, who is so smart, remember the wrong tune? I'm afraid it's probably intentional! Listen to the part about 'chuī is wrong'."

As expected, he repeated it again, and when the second paragraph was nearing the end, Lan Wangji said, "Stop."

Lan XiChen said, "It's just this part."

Wei WuXian took off the flute from his lips and said, "Is this really this part? But I don't think this part sounds incompatible."

Lan XiChen said: "It is true that it does not violate the peace. However, it is definitely not a part of "Washing Hua"."

If the ordinary playing is wrong, it will definitely not be so integrated with the other parts of the original song. It is almost certain that this melody must have been deliberately polished and entered.

And this paragraph does not belong to "Xi Hua", but the unfamiliar melody mixed into "Xi Hua" is very likely to be the key to Nie Mingjue's death!

After thinking for a moment, Lan XiChen said, "You come with me."

Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian followed his guidance and walked out of the cold room. The Hai Shi had passed, and Yun Shen did not know that most of the people in the place had already rested.

Yunshen was burned by a fire somewhere, and the Library Pavilion is no longer the Library Pavilion it used to be, but after the reconstruction, it is exactly the same as the original layout, and even the magnolia tree outside the pavilion was replanted. The three entered the cabinet, and Wei WuXian asked, "Sect Master Lan, can we find the source of this melody here?"

Lan XiChen said, "Not here."

He walked to a row of bookshelves, squatted down, lifted a mat that was spread there, and uncovered the wooden board underneath, and said, "This is fine."

Beneath the plank is a secret door.

Lan Wangji said, "Forbidden | The study room."

Beneath the secret door is a secret staircase with more than 30 steps. The three of them descended the secret staircase one by one. What appeared in front of Wei Wuxian was a gān spacious basement, and the sound of footsteps echoed in the basement. . Forbidden|There are rows of book grids standing in the study room. Books are sparsely sorted on the grids, and they are covered with ash. It seems that no one has flipped them for many years.

Lan XiChen brought them to a row of bookshelves, and said, "This frame is all abstruse."

Forbidden | There is a book table in the study room, and there is only a paper lamp on the book table. Lan Wangji took the pen and paper that had been neglected for many years, and wrote three scores of the melody by dictation. The three of them sat around the book case and divided their work together. Each was responsible for dozens of books, one book at a time, copying the scores listed on the forbidden book page by page, looking for the parts that matched them.

However, after two hours, none of the three found a score that matched the melody. That is, the source of it has not been found.

Wei WuXian went through the score at a glance, and thought to himself, "Could it be that the Lan family's book collection pavilion does not include this piece of music in the study room? Impossible, if the Lan family doesn't even have a collection, it's even worse in other places. It’s impossible to collect it. Wouldn’t Jin Guangyao have created a Divine Comedy by himself? That would be troublesome, but although he is smart, he is still a monk halfway through, and he is not smart enough to create his own…”

Wei WuXian looked at these densely packed small characters for a long time, his eyes dazzled, he still had a few books left, and he planned to put them on hold for a while before reading. Lan Wangji had finished reading his stack, silently took the few volumes that Wei Wuxian had left, and continued to rummage with his head down. Lan XiChen raised his eyes slowly, and when he saw this scene, he seemed to stop talking.

At this moment, Lan WangJi said, "This one."

He handed over the book in his hand, and Wei Wuxian immediately snorted, but he carefully looked at the two pages he had opened, compared the scraps in his hand, and said, "It's completely different?"

Lan Wangji stood up, sat beside him, and pointed to him, "Look at the two pages before and after."

They put their heads together, Lan Wangji spoke in his ear, Wei Wuxian's hand shook, and the book almost fell. It took a long time for him to calm down, and he moved his eyes away from Lan Wangji's slender, white fingers, carefully discerned, and said, "Ah, two pages before and after!"

At first glance, there seems to be nothing wrong with this score, but if you are familiar with rhythms and pay more attention, you can see that the song on the previous page and the song on the next page are connected to each other. not on.

Wei Wuxian took out the flute and played a section according to the score. Sure enough, the two tunes were disconnected. The half-notation on the previous page and the half-notation on the next page are not the same piece at all. There should be another page in the middle of the two pages, which has been carefully torn away without leaving a trace.

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

Wei WuXian said, "'Lan Soul Copy'? What kind of book is this? The tune in the book is so weird."

Lan Wangji said, "A collection of Dongying's secret songs."

Wei WuXian said, "The secret song from Dongying? No wonder the tune is different from ours."

Lan XiChen looked complicated and said, "..."Lan Soul Copy", according to legend, is a collection of evil songs collected by a monk who drifted overseas by boat and spent several years in the Eastern Land. The songs in the book, if they are played with spiritual power, can be used to harm people, or they may become increasingly thin, or their heart will be irritable, or their qi and blood will be inflamed, or their five senses will fail... A person with high spiritual power can be used in the seven Within the ring, take someone's life."

☆、Chapter 64

Wei Wuxian patted the table and said, "That's it!"

He was delighted, this shot was very abrupt, knocking down the paper lantern on the desk, Lan Wangji quickly helped it up.

Wei WuXian said, "Sect Master Lan, is there a piece of music in this 'Lan Soul Copy' that can disturb people's minds, make people's souls dàng, churning qi and blood, bào irritable and so on?"

Lan XiChen said: "...There should be."

Wei WuXian added, "Jin Guangyao's spiritual power is not enough, so he can't take someone's life within seven rings, and it's too obvious to do so, he definitely won't choose this kind of lethal evil song. For the reason of playing the Mysterious Song for Chi Fengzun to help him calm down, and playing it for three consecutive months, is it possible that this tune can catalyze Chi Fengzun's seizures like taking a slow xing?"

Lan XiChen said, "...Yes."

Wei WuXian said: "Then, the speculation is very reasonable. The fragment that does not belong to "Xi Hua" is from a missing page of this "Lan Po Copy". Dongying's evil songs are quite complicated and difficult to learn. He didn't have time to transcribe them in the study room, so he had to tear them up—no, no, Jin Guangyao has the ability to remember them. He tore out this page, not because of him I can't remember, but to die without proof. Make sure that if one day something happens to the public, or someone gets caught on the spot, I can't judge the source of this melody.

"Everything he did was extremely cautious. In front of you, he played the full version of "Xihua" calmly. Chi Fengzun is not a person who is addicted to elegance. He heard you play "Xihua", Sect Master Lan, You should have a general impression of the melody. Therefore, Jin Guangyao couldn't directly play evil tunes. Instead, he mixed two tunes with completely different styles and completely opposite effects, and they were able to mix them well without being abrupt. Quite high. I guess he only used a small amount of spiritual power in the passages of "Xi Hua", and only exerted his power in the passages of evil songs. A passage has been tampered with by Jin Guangyao into an evil song!"

After a long silence, Lan XiChen whispered, "...Although he often goes in and out of Yunshen and doesn't know where he is, I didn't tell him about the forbidden library at the bottom of the library."

His answer became more and more difficult, Wei WuXian said, "Sect Master Lan...I'm sorry. Lian Fangzun worked as an undercover agent in the Qishan Wen Sect's Evernight City, and he was an extremely successful undercover agent. He can even find Wen Ruohan's secret room, and sneak in without knowing it, in front of him, the forbidden library of the Lan Family Book Collection Pavilion... is really nothing."

Lan Wangji said, "Brother. Did you meet him on the way when you transferred your collection?"

In Nie Mingjue's chat, Lan Xichen said that he had met Jin Guangyao before, and he had a good impression, and he also said "a lifetime of shame". Counting the time, it can only make people think of Lan Xichen's escape with a collection of books.

Back then, when the Qishan Wen clan was in chaos and people were panicking, Lan Xichen fled desperately with the unburned book collection. Perhaps he was in trouble on the way and received the favor of Jin Guangyao. That's why he trusted Jin Guangyao so much that he could even teach Qing Xinyin to him.

And if this is the case, it is very likely that Jin Guangyao learned something from Lan Xichen who was in a hurry at that time. When he was determined to get rid of Nie Mingjue, he remembered this batch of forbidden books hidden by the Lan family, and then he used the identity of the master brother of the Lan family to enter and leave the library until he found what he wanted.

Lan XiChen held the piece of paper on which the fragmented mana was written in his hand, stared at it for a while, and said, "Tomorrow, I will go to test to see if this fragmented mana really affects people's minds."

Up to now, this is almost the last bargaining chip for his trust in Jin Guangyao.

Lan Wangji said, "Brother."

Lan XiChen covered his forehead with one hand, endured something, and said solemnly, "...forgetting machine, the Jin Guangyao I know, the Jin Guangyao you know, and the Jin Guangyao in the eyes of the world are completely different. They are three different people. Over the years, he has always been an image of bearing, caring, and respectful in front of me. I never thought that what I knew was the truth. You want me to do it right now. I believe that this person is a vile and cunning despicable person... Can you allow me to be more cautious before making a judgment?"

The pain also lies in the fact that if he wants to believe this, then he must admit that among the three sworn brothers, one betrayed his trust and pretended to be in front of him for many years; the other was killed because of his trust. die. On the day of the Qinghe Nie Sect's Qing Talk, he had long been designed as a part of the murder plan, the accomplice who triggered the final blow!

Neither Wei Wuxian nor Lan Wangji spoke.

After a long time, Lan XiChen finally put down his hand and said wearily: "...Up to now, only the three of us know about these things. If we can't find the head, we can't produce evidence. To win the trust of people, to win the trust of the world. So what to do next, we need to take a long-term plan."

Wei WuXian nodded slightly and said, "Sect Master Lan, allow me to ask one more question, Chi Fengzun's body...?"

Lan XiChen said: "Don't worry, the eldest brother's body has been seen by each family, and it is now under the custody of Huaisang."

Wei WuXian asked, "How did Jin GuangYao react?"

Lan Wangji said, "There is no fèng in heaven."

Wei WuXian knew that he must have done a full set of tricks, and said, "It's good for everyone to see it. It won't take long for this matter to spread, Jin GuangYao is the Immortal Governor, and he is the name of Chi Fengzun. Brother-in-law, we must investigate this matter and give a jiāo representative. If you want him to ride a tiger, he will always show his feet. Don't be afraid of him making a fool of yourself."

Lan XiChen showed a strange look and said, "Young Master Wei, don't you think that the return of the Yiling Patriarch to the world will cause more uproar?"

"..." Wei WuXian thought, "I really forgot. The legendary Yiling Patriarch is more terrifying than the headless Chi Fengzun!"

Lan XiChen said: "Yunshen doesn't know where to hide for you temporarily. After a while, someone will come to investigate. You have to go out by yourself and find a way to find the key evidence."

That is, the head.

Wei Wuxian nodded and said, "Understood." He turned his head naturally and asked Lan Wangji, "When are you leaving?"

He took it for granted that Lan Wangji would definitely act with him. Obviously, Lan WangJi felt the same way and said, "Let's go now."

Lan XiChen looked at these two people who took it for granted and didn't ask his opinion at all, and the shy expression appeared again. In the end, he still sighed: "...over there, I will also pay attention."

When he said "over there", he naturally meant Jin Guangyao's side.

Walking out of the library, Wei WuXian said, "Your brother was hit hard."

Lan Wangji said, "No matter how hard the blow is, if he finds evidence, he will not tolerate it."

Wei WuXian said, "That's right. It's your brother after all."

At this moment, the rough bushes on the side of the road rustled, and Wei Wuxian's heart tightened, and suddenly he saw the rough bushes separate, and a small white fluffy head and a pair of long ears emerged.

This rabbit's pink nose shrank, and when it saw Lan Wangji, its drooping ears suddenly stood up, and it bounced towards him with a kick. Lan WangJi reached out and caught it, holding it in his arms.
