Chapter 16 Yasao Fourth 6

Wei Wuxian slept all night with his sword in his arms, in case the old Guban and Xiao Guban attacked in the middle of the night and dragged him out of bed to punish him. Unexpectedly, the night was calm, and on the second day, Nie Huaisang came to him overjoyedly: "Brother Wei, you are really lucky, the old man went to Qinghe to go to my house last night for a talk conference. You don't need to listen to the lessons for the next few days!"

The old one is missing, and the small one is left, which is not easy to deal with! Wei WuXian scrambled to his feet, wearing his boots and rejoicing, "It's really good luck, auspicious clouds cover the sky and help me."

Jiang Cheng carefully wiped his sword and poured cold water on him: "When he comes back, you still won't be able to escape a punishment."

Wei WuXian said, "You don't have to worry about what's going on in your life. How many days are there? Go, I don't believe that there are still a few little pheasants on the mountain of the Lan family."

The three of them hooked their shoulders and walked past the private room where Yunshen didn't know where to go. Wei WuXian suddenly made a "huh", stopped his steps, and said strangely, "Two Xiaogu...Lan Zhan!"

Several people walked out of the elegant room, and the two young men at the head were ordinary ice sculptures and jade carvings, and their attire was ordinary white clothes like snow. The look is very different. Wei WuXian immediately recognized that the one with the stern face was Lan Wangji, and the one who was peaceful must be the other of the Lan family's two jades, Zewu Jun Lan Xichen.

Seeing Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji frowned and gave him an almost "vicious" look, as if he would be sullied if he looked at him for a moment, he looked away and looked into the distance. Lan XiChen smiled and said, "Who are you two?"

Jiang Cheng said politely, "Yunmeng Jiang is chanting late."

Wei Wuxian also bowed, "Yunmeng Wei Wuxian."

Lan Xichen returned the salute, and Nie Huaisang's voice was like a mosquito: "Brother Xichen."

Lan XiChen said: "Huaisang, I came from Qinghe not long ago, and your elder brother asked about your studies. How is it? Can this year pass?"

Nie Huaisang said, "It's probably possible..." He looked at Wei Wuxian for help, like a shriveled melon. Wei WuXian giggled, "Zewu-Jun, what are you going to do?"

Lan XiChen said: "Remove water trouble. There are not enough people, come back and find Wangji."

Lan WangJi said coldly, "Brother why do you need to talk more, it's not too late, let's go."

Wei WuXian hurriedly said, "Take your time. I can catch water ghosts. Can Zewu-Jun take us with you?"

Lan XiChen smiled without saying a word, Lan WangJi said, "It's not in line with the rules."

Wei WuXian said, "What's wrong with the rules? We often catch water ghosts in Yunmeng. Besides, we don't need to listen and learn these days."

There are many lakes and water in Yunmeng, which is rich in water pollution. The Jiang family is really good at this. Jiang Cheng also has the heart to make up for the loss of Yunmeng Jiang’s face in the Lan family these days, saying: "Yes, Zewu-Jun, we will definitely be able to help. Gotta be busy."

"No need. Gusu Lan also..." Lan XiChen said with a smile before Lan WangJi finished speaking, "Alright, thank you so much. Get ready, let's go together. Can Huaisang go with you?"

Although Nie Huaisang wanted to join in the fun, but when he met Lan Xichen, he thought of his eldest brother. Can say a few more good words in front of his big brother. Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng went back to their room to prepare.

Lan Wangji watched the backs of the two of them, frowning in confusion, "Why did brother bring them? It's not appropriate to joke around."

Lan XiChen said, "Sect Master Jiang's first disciple and only son are well-known in Yunmeng, so they don't necessarily only joke around."

Lan WangJi was noncommittal, but his face was full of "Disagree".

Lan XiChen said again: "Besides, aren't you willing to let him go?"

Lan Wangji was stunned.

Lan XiChen said: "I see your expression, it seems that you want to go with Sect Master Jiang's eldest disciple, so I agreed."

Before the elegant room, it was as silent as ice.

After a long while, Lan Wangji said with difficulty, "There is absolutely no such thing."

He had to defend himself, but Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng had already carried their swords on their backs quickly. Lan Wangji had no choice but to keep silent, and the group set off with Yujian.

The place where water ghosts are haunting is called Caiyi Town, which is more than twenty miles away from Yunshen.

Caiyi Town has a well-connected waterway. don't know whether it is a small town intertwined with dense river nets, or the cobweb-like waterway with dense dwellings on both sides of the waterway. White walls and grey tiles, the river is crowded with boats and baskets, men and women. Flowers, vegetables and fruits, bamboo-carved cakes, bean tea and silk wool are sold along the river.

Gusu is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and the sounds that are heard are soft and soft. The two boats collided head-on, and turned over a few jars of glutinous rice wine. Even the two boatmen were like Yingying chattering in theory. There are many lakes in Yunmeng, but there are few such water towns. Wei Wuxian was surprised, he bought two jars of glutinous rice wine with money, handed a jar to Jiang Cheng, and said, "The people from Gusu talk loudly. Why are they quarreling, let's see how the people from Yunmeng are quarreling. , can scare them to death...Lan Zhan, look at what I'm doing, it's not that I won't buy you a small device, and your family can't drink."

Not much to stop, took a dozen thin boats, and rowed towards the gathering place of the water. Gradually, there were fewer and fewer houses on both sides of the strait, and the river became quiet. Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng each occupied a boat, rowing faster than the other, while listening to the water troubles here.

This river leads to a large lake in front, called Biling Lake. Caiyi Town has never had water ghosts for decades. In recent months, people have frequently fallen into the water in this river and Biling Lake, and cargo ships have also sunk inexplicably. A few days ago, Lan XiChen cast a net here. He thought he could catch one or two, but he would have caught more than a dozen water ghosts in a row. After washing the corpses and taking them to a nearby town for inquiries, there were many unclaimed corpses, and no one in the area knew them. Yesterday, they formed the formation again, and they caught a lot of them.

Wei WuXian said, "It doesn't look like they were drowned somewhere else and floated here along the water. The water cricket recognizes its territory, usually only a piece of water is the place where they drowned. Leave less."

Lan XiChen nodded: "That's right. So I felt that this matter was no trivial matter, so I asked Wang Ji to come with me to prepare for the unexpected."

Wei WuXian said, "Zewu-Jun, water ghosts are very smart. Look for them slowly by rowing a boat like this. If they keep hiding in the water and can't come out, wouldn't they keep looking for them? What should I do if they can't find them?"

Lan Wangji said, "Till you find it. The duty lies."

Wei WuXian said, "Just use the net to catch it?"

Lan XiChen said, "That's right. Does the Yunmeng Jiang Sect have other methods?"

Wei Wuxian smiled and didn't answer. Of course, the Yunmeng Jiang Sect also used nets, but he always jumped into the river and dragged the water ghosts up because of his good water quality. This method is too dangerous, it must not be used in front of the Lan family, and if it reaches Lan Qiren's ears, it must be taught a lesson. He changed the subject and said, "If there is something that can attract water ghosts like a bait. Or it can point its direction, like a compass."

Jiang Cheng said, "Looking down at the water, I focused on looking for you. It's whimsical again."

Wei WuXian said, "Cultivating Immortals and Yujian used to be whimsical!"

When he lowered his head, he could just see the bottom of the boat Lan Wangji was on, and his mind moved, and he called out, "Lan Zhan, look at me!"

Lan WangJi was on guard, and when he heard the words, he couldn't help but look at him, but saw a stroke of bamboo wormwood in Wei Wuxian's hand, and a splash of water splashed out. Lan Wangji stepped on the bottom of his feet and jumped onto the other boat lightly, avoiding the splashing water, annoyed that he was really here to make a joke, and said, "Boring!"

Wei WuXian kicked the side of the boat he was standing on, and Zhu Hao picked it up and turned the boat over, revealing the bottom of the boat. And on the wooden board at the bottom of the boat, there were three water ghosts with swollen faces and dead white skin!

The disciples who were close immediately restrained the three. Lan XiChen smiled and said, "Young Master Wei, how did you know they were at the bottom of the boat?"

Wei WuXian knocked on the side of the boat, "Simple! The draft is wrong. He was the only one standing on the boat just now, but the draft is heavier than a two-person boat. There must be something on the bottom of the boat."

Lan XiChen praised: "Sure enough experience."

Wei WuXian Bamboo Artemisia dipped the water gently, and the boat flew away, rowing to align with Lan WangJi. The two boats were next to each other, and he said: "Lan Zhan, I didn't mean to splash you with water just now. The water ghosts are very good. If I say it, they will run away when they hear it. Hey, pay attention to me. Look at me Lan Second son."

Lan WangJi respected him, looked at him, and said, "Why did you come with me?"

Wei Wuxian said sincerely, "I'm here to apologize to you. I was wrong last night, I was wrong."

Lan Wangji Yintang faintly turned black. It is estimated that he has not forgotten how Wei Wuxian "apology" to him before. Wei Wuxian asked knowingly, "Why is your face so ugly? Don't be afraid, I'm here to help today."

Jiang Cheng couldn't take it any longer and said, "If you want to help, don't talk nonsense, come here!"

A student shouted: "The net is moving!"

Sure enough, the rope trembled sharply. Wei Wuxian's spirits lifted, "Come here!"

Thick long black silk-like hair swept along the side of dozens of small boats, and a pair of pale palms clawed on the side of the boat. Lan WangJi drew his sword with his backhand, Bichen unsheathed it, and cut off more than a dozen wrists on the left side of the ship, leaving only the palm of which his fingers dig deep into the wood. As he was about to slash the right side, a red light flashed, Wei Wuxian had already retracted his sword and sheathed it.

The movement in the water ceased, and the net rope also calmed down again. Wei Wuxian's sword was extremely fast just now, but Lan Wangji already saw that the sword he was carrying must be a high-grade spirit sword, and asked solemnly, "What's the name of this sword?"

Wei WuXian said, "Whatever."

Lan Wangji looked at him. Wei Wuxian thought he didn't hear it clearly, so he said it again, "Whatever."

Lan Wangji frowned and refused: "This sword has a spirit, so calling it casually is disrespectful."

Wei WuXian let out an "ah" and said, "You have to turn your head around. I didn't mean to call you whatever, but the name of my sword is called 'whatever'. Here, look." He handed it over. Let Lan WangJi read the words on the sword clearly. There are two ancient characters engraved in the pattern of the scabbard, and it really is the word "casual".

Lan Wangji was speechless for a while.

Wei Wuxian said thoughtfully, "You don't have to say it, I know, you must want to ask me why my name is called? Everyone asks if it has any special meaning. Actually, it doesn't have any special meaning, but Uncle Jiang gave me a gift. When I was thinking about the sword, I was asked what I wanted to call it? I thought of more than 20 names at the time, but none of them were satisfied. I thought to let Uncle Jiang choose one for me, so I answered 'whatever!'. Who knew that the sword was cast and released. These two words are on it. Uncle Jiang said: 'If that's the case, then let's call this sword casual.' Actually, the name is not bad, right?"

Finally, Lan WangJi squeezed two words out of his teeth: "...Absurd!"

Wei WuXian put the sword on his shoulders and said, "You are so boring. What a funny name, it's a little serious for a little serious like you, and it's accurate, haha!"

At this time, in the green lake water, a long black shadow flashed around the boat. After Jiang Cheng finished slicing the water scorpion on his side, he was still paying attention to see if he had missed anything, and when he saw the black shadow, he immediately shouted, "Here we come again!"
