In the depths of the wild forest, dozens of human figures were thrown all over the place. Some have a rotten stench. Wei Wuxian was accustomed to this, but Wen Qing was completely unaware. They rummaged through the corpse for a while, and soon found Wen Ning with his eyes open.
Half of Wen Ning's ribs were knocked out, and the blood on the corners of his mouth had turned dark brown, and he remained motionless.
Wen qíng still didn't give up, trembling to catch his pulse.
After holding on for a long time, finally cried out with a wow.
She cried with a twisted face, and the originally sweet face was wrinkled and turned ugly and ugly. However, when a person is really sad to the point, there is absolutely no way to cry beautifully.
In front of the stiff corpse of her only younger brother, the arrogance she insisted was not left behind.
Wei Wuxian stood behind her, not saying a word.
On the way, Wen Qing told him a lot. After the expedition, their situation became more and more difficult. No matter whether they had participated in the war or not, whether they had killed or not, they had to be monitored every day and everywhere, manipulated and scolded by others anytime, anywhere.
Wen Qing and Wen Ning had a cousin who passed away, and the cousin's grandmother was also beaten as one of the "Wen Dog Remnants". Although because she was too old, she didn't have to work as a coolie like other captives, but there were other ways to deal with her. It was to let her walk around carrying a torn, tattered, blood-red fork of the Wen family's battle flag every day to carry out self-shaming, euphemistically called "self-examination".
The cousin's only son was only about two or three years old when he died, and the closest person was his grandmother. An old man trembled, and a child was ignorant on her back. One old and one young, struggling to carry a tall flag, walking back and forth on the side of the road with hunched waists, taking two steps to take a break, putting down the flag, and seeing someone approaching, they hurriedly carried the flag again, for fear of being caught When people find out, they scold them for trouble.
That day, Jin Zixun was hunting at night, chasing an eight-winged bat king, and came to their detention place in the corner of Qishan.
That eight-winged bat king is elusive and fierce, so when he hides he can't find it, and when he doesn't hide he can't deal with it. Jin Zixun was getting restless when he happened to meet several Wen family disciples who came to check the vision. Jin Zixun regarded them as bait to come to the door, indiscriminately, and they carried the summoning flag to attract attack.
Wen qíng studied medicine, her disciples followed her, and she never only saved people but not killed. Wen Ning was even more timid and did not dare to recruit bào scoundrels. He was filled with cultivators who were almost as dumb as him, and had never done anything harmful. There are only a few dozen of them left. Seeing that his disciples were in danger, Wen Ning rushed out and reasoned with Jin Zixun stumblingly. After procrastinating, the eight-winged bat king ran away. Jin Zixun was furious and ordered his subordinates to arrest them all.
Wen qíng ran almost crazy these days, but it was still late, and he didn't even see his brother's last face.
Wen qíng cried so hard that he fainted silently.
Wei Wuxian helped her up from the ground and let her lean against his chest. He closed his eyes, opened it after a while, and said, "Who killed this person?"
His tone was lukewarm, and he didn't seem to be angry, but was thinking about something. The superintendent named the leader was lucky, and said stubbornly: "Young Master Wei, don't talk nonsense about this, no one dares to kill people here. He rolled down the mountain wall and fell to his death because of his own carelessness."
Wei WuXian said, "No one dares to kill people indiscriminately? Really?"
Several supervisors swore together: "It's absolutely true!"
"No falsehood!"
Wei Wuxian smiled slightly and said, "Oh. I understand."
Immediately, he replied slowly: "Because it's a warm dog, and a warm dog is not a human being. That's what it means to say, 'No one dares to kill people here', right?"
Just now, the governor was just thinking about this sentence, and he was suddenly pierced by his mind, and his face turned pale. Wei WuXian added, "Or do you really think that I can't tell how a person dies?"
The supervisors were dumbfounded, and finally began to realize that something was wrong, and there was a faint intention to retreat.
Wei Wuxian kept his smile unchanged, and said, "You guys better be honest right now, who killed you, and stand up for yourself. Otherwise, I'll have to kill the wrong ones rather than let them go. Kill them all, this is the way to go. No fish slipped through the net."
Everyone's scalp was numb and their backs were chilled. The governor murmured, "The Yunmeng Jiang sect and the LanlingJin sect are on good terms right now, Young Master Wei, you can't..."
Hearing this, Wei Wuxian glanced at him and said in surprise, "You are very courageous. Are you threatening me?"
The governor said hurriedly: "I dare not dare."
Wei WuXian said, "Since you don't want to say it, let him identify it himself."
As if waiting for his sentence for a long time, a black figure stood up stiffly.
☆、Chapter 72
That night, the entire cultivation world caused an uproar.
At the age of the child, in the golden pavilion on the Jinlin Terrace, nearly fifty patriarchs of all sizes were sitting on the seats. The chief was Jin Guangshan, Jin Zixuan was away from home, and Jin Zixun was not qualified enough, so only Jin Guangyao stood beside him with his hands down. In the front row were Nie Mingjue, Jiang Cheng, Lan Xichen, Lan Wangji and other patriarchs and celebrities with a solemn expression. In the latter column are the second-class family masters and cultivators, who are all facing the enemy, whispering a few words from time to time, "I will know", "This will happen sooner or later", "Let's see how it ends".
Jiang Cheng was the center of everyone's attention. Sitting in the front row, his face was full of gloom. He was just like everyone else. Jin Guangyao said in the auditorium with a respectful expression, a soft tone and a gentle voice:
"...In the Qiongqi Dao, he urged Chen Qíng to murder all the bodies of Wen Ning and the woods behind the valley, killing six supervisors and wounding more than seventy people. Then he hugged Wen Qíng and brought These corpses went to the detention grounds in Qishan, where they wanted to take away the remnants of the Wen clan. The watchers in Qishan came forward to stop them, but he drove the evil spirits and corpses to repel them, and led the fifty-odd people to escape. Go. After entering the mass grave, he sent hundreds of corpses to patrol the bottom of the mountain, and our people are still unable to get up."
After listening, the Dianjin Pavilion was silent.
After a long while, Jiang Cheng said, "This thing is really outrageous. I will apologize to Sect Master Jin on his behalf. If there is any remedy, please feel free to speak up, and I will definitely try my best to make amends."
What Jin Guangshan wanted was not his apology or compensation, he said, "Sect Master Jiang, originally, for your sake, my Lanling Jin Sect would never say anything more, but it's just a few disciples and junior cultivators. , kill and kill. But these supervisors and low-level monks are not all from the Jin family, there are a few other families. This is…”
Jiang Cheng frowned, rubbed the throbbing muscles around the sun, took a silent breath, and said, "...I apologize to all the sect masters. You don't know, the Wen Wuxian wants to save. The surname is a monk, and he was kind to the two of us during the expedition of the She Day. Therefore..."
Nie MingJue said coldly, "Is there a favor? Sect Master Jiang has forgotten who is the murderer of the Yunmeng Jiang Clan's bloody murder case? Even if there is a favor, it would have been cancelled long ago."
For the past few years, Jiang Cheng has been busy until late at night every day. Today, just as he was about to rest early, he was rushed to Jinlintai overnight by this thunderous news. He was so angry that he was forced to bow his head in public to apologize to others. He was already irritable. Hearing Nie Mingjue bring up the murder case again, a sense of hatred arose in his heart.
This hatred is not only aimed at everyone here, but also at Wei Wuxian.
Lan XiChen said: "It can't be said that way, the remnants of Wen Qing and Wen Ning's lineage, I have checked, they have not participated in the She Day Campaign, and no murders are related to them."
Nie Mingjue turned to him, his expression softened slightly, but he still insisted on his disapproval position: "Second brother, I do not agree with what you said. As a member of the family, you should share prosperity and adversity with the family. Wen's evil will have consequences. Naturally, the entire Wen clan must bear the burden. If the family only enjoys preferential treatment when the family is prosperous, and the family collapses but refuses to bear the bitter fruit, take responsibility, and pay the price, what is this?"
A patriarch said: "Sect Master Jiang, what you said is wrong. Did you forget how the Wen family treated other families? What kind of kindness did you tell them, and for this kind of kindness you killed your own people! "
As soon as the Qishan Wen Sect's bào trip was mentioned, the crowd became excited and noisy. Jin Guangshan's original speech was unhappy when he saw it. Jin Guangyao watched his expression and hurriedly said: "Everyone, please be patient and don't be impatient. The matter to be discussed today is not the point." After taking the frozen fruit slices, diverting his attention, he clicked the golden pavilion, and then he gradually calmed down.
Jin Guangshan took the opportunity to say, "Sect Master Jiang, originally this was your family affair, I'm not good at fighting, but now, I have to remind you about this Wei Ying."
Jiang Cheng said, "Sect Master Jin, please speak."
Jin Guangshan said: "Sect Master Jiang, Wei Ying is your right hand, you value him very much, we all know that. But on the other hand, it is difficult to say whether he respects you as a master. Anyway, I have been the master for so many years, and I have never seen him. What kind of subordinates dare to be so arrogant and arrogant." He shook his head and said, "On an occasion as big as a flower banquet of hundreds of families, I dared to shake my face in front of you, and left as soon as I said it. Yesterday, I carried you behind my back. It's even more presumptuous, and even he dares to say such words that he doesn't take your family head seriously at all, and it's disrespectful at all..."
Hearing the last sentence, Jiang Cheng's face was already very ugly.
Suddenly, a cold voice said: "No."
Jin Guangshan was choreographing vigorously, and when he heard the words, he was stunned. Like everyone else, he followed the sound.
Seeing Lan Wangji sitting upright, he said calmly, "Wei Ying never said that he would not take Sect Master Jiang seriously. What he meant was that he had always been so unscrupulous. There was no disrespect."
Lan Wangji speaks very little in foreign countries, even when he asks about the Fa at a talk conference, only when others ask him questions and challenges him, he will answer in a concise and succinct manner. The eloquence, otherwise, almost never takes the initiative to speak. Therefore, when Jin Guangshan was interrupted by him, his surprise was far greater than his displeasure. But after all, it was tampering with the original words, adding oil and vinegar to be demolished in public, and I felt embarrassed. Fortunately, it didn't take long for him to be embarrassed, and Jin Guangyao immediately came to save him, and said in surprise, "Really? That's what you said? Hey, that day, Young Master Wei rushed to Jinlintai in a rage and said too much. A sentence is more shocking than a sentence, I don’t even remember it very well, but Hanguang-jun remembers it so clearly. However, the meaning of these two sentences is similar.”
His memory was better than Lan Wangji's, but he deliberately pretended to be confused. Nie Mingjue didn't like this kind of behavior and frowned slightly. Jin Guangshan went down the steps and said, "Yes, the meaning is similar, anyway, don't take Jiang Sect Master in your eyes."
A patriarch said, "Actually, I've wanted to say it for a long time. Although Wei Wuxian has some credit for the She Day Campaign, it's not good to say it. He is the son of a servant after all. How could he be the son of a servant? Arrogant?"
When he mentioned "the son of a servant", someone naturally thought that there was a "son of a prostitute" standing in the hall, and he couldn't help but peep. Jin GuangYao clearly noticed these unintentional glances, but he still smiled perfectly and did not fall at all. Everyone began to express their dissatisfaction with the crowd:
"Sect Master Jin asked Wei Ying to present the yīn tiger talisman. It was originally a good intention, and he was afraid that he would not be able to control it and cause a catastrophe. But he guessed with the heart of a villain, thinking who was coveting his magic weapon? A family treasure."
"If it's just arrogant and doesn't know how to respect people, it's fine, but this time he killed our monks indiscriminately for a few warm dogs. Who is he going to challenge?"
"I said long ago that he will have problems with his cultivation of ghosts, right? Look, killing xing has already begun to reveal itself."
"It's not indiscriminate... It seems that the supervisor only killed and beat Wen Ning and others."
Lan Wangji originally seemed to have entered the realm of emptiness where nothing could be heard, and when he heard the sound, he raised his eyes to look.
The speaker was a beautiful young woman who was standing beside a patriarch. As soon as she said this cautiously, she was immediately attacked by the nearby monks: "What do you mean? Do you want to say more? Is he justified in killing our people? And to praise it as a benevolent act?"
The woman said more carefully: "No... I didn't say that, you don't have to be so excited. I just don't think the word 'indiscriminate killing' is inappropriate."
Another person spit and said, "What's wrong? Wei Wuxian has been killing indiscriminately since the Day of the Shepherd, can you deny it?"
The woman tried her best to justify: "The battle between the sun and the sun is a battlefield. On the battlefield, isn't everyone counted as indiscriminate killing? And we are talking about another matter now, saying that he killed indiscriminately, I really don't think it counts. After all It happened for a reason, if those supervisors did kill Wen Ning and others, it would not be called indiscriminate killing, it would be called revenge, that's all."
After getting stuck, one person said stubbornly: "But no one knows whether those supervisors really killed Wen Ning, and no one saw it with their own eyes."
The other person sneered: "That's all? Isn't it. It's really innocent. I think you have a ghost in your heart."
The woman blushed and said, "You make it clear, what does it mean to have a ghost in your heart?"
The man said: "Needless to say, you know in your own heart that a woman is a woman. Back then, when Slaughter Xuanwu flirted with you, he gave up and gave up on you. Even now, he is still arguing for him, confounding right and wrong."
In the past, Wei Wuxian's slaughter of Xuanwu's dòng to save the beauty also served as a romantic talk for a while, so many people immediately realized that this young woman was the "Mianmian".
Someone immediately muttered, "No wonder you speak to Wei Wuxian so bluntly..."
Mianmian said: "What is the meaning of words, confounding black and white? I'm just talking about things, but what is it about me being a woman? If you can't reason with reason, are you attacking me with other things?"
She shouted with several members of her family: "You are all biased, so what are you talking about?"
"Don't talk nonsense with her, this kind of person is actually from our family... You can even sneak into the golden pavilion."
Mianmian was so angry that her eyes were red, with tears in her eyes, she said after a while, "You guys are loud, okay, you are reasonable!"
She suddenly took off her family crest robe and patted it on the table. Others were shocked by her behavior. This behavior represents "exiting the family".
Without saying a word, he turned around and walked out.
After a while, someone laughed and said, "Don't wear it back if you dare to take it off!"
Scattered, some people began to echo: "A woman is a woman, I can't stand it anymore after a few words, and I will definitely come back by myself in two days."
"Definitely. After all, it took a long time to turn from a slave's daughter to a protégé, hee hee..."
Lan WangJi let these voices dance wildly behind him, also stood up and walked out. Lan XiChen listened to them, the more they were talking, the more unbearable they were. He said warmly, "Everyone, everyone has left, so shut up."
When Zewu-Jun spoke up, other people naturally wanted to give some face. In the golden pavilion, he began to say something, scolding Wen Dog and Wei Wuxian, gnashing his teeth, indiscriminate, and refusing to allow any refutation in the air. Medium dàng.
