That night, the entire cultivation world set off an uproar.

When he was a child, in the golden pavilion on the Jinlin platform, nearly 50 heads of families of all sizes sat on the table. The chief is Jin Guangshan, Jin Zixuan is out of the house, and Jin Zixun is not qualified enough, so only Jin Guangyao stands beside him. At the forefront are Nie Mingjue, Jiang Cheng, Lan Xichen, Lan Wangji and other family heads and celebrities, with solemn expressions. In the back row are the second-class family heads and monks, all of whom are like great enemies, and from time to time whisper a sentence or two: "I know", "Sooner or later, it will be like this", and "Let's see how it ends".

Jiang Cheng was the center of everyone's attention, sitting in the forefront, his face was full of clouds, and he was listening to Jin Guangyao with a respectful expression and a soft tone like others:

“…… In the poor strange road, he urged the pleading, and murdered all the corpses of Wen Ning and the woods piled up in the back of the valley, killing six overseers, and wounding more than 70 people. Then he took these murderous corpses to the detention place in Qishan with warmth, and wanted to take away the remnants of the Wen clan there. The watchers in Qishan came forward to stop them, but he drove the evil spirits and murderous corpses to repel them, and took the more than 50 people away. After entering the mass grave, he had hundreds of murderous corpses patrol the bottom of the mountain, and our people still can't get up a single step. ”

After listening, there was silence in the Dian Jin Pavilion.

After a while, Jiang Cheng said: "This matter is indeed too unreasonable, I will make amends to Sect Master Jin on his behalf." If there is any remedy, please do not hesitate to ask, and I will do my best to make amends. ”

What Jin Guangshan wanted was not his reparation and compensation, and said: "Sect Master Jiang, it was originally in your face, and my Lanling Jin clan would never say a word, but it was just a few protégés and lower-level monks, and they would be killed." But these overseers and low-level monks are not all from the Jin family, and there are a few other families. That's ......"

Jiang Cheng frowned, rubbed the muscles that were beating at his temples, took a silent breath, and said, "...... I apologize to all the Sect Masters. You don't know that the monk surnamed Wen that Wei Wuxian wanted to save had been kind to the two of us during the Sunshooting Expedition. Therefore......"

Nie Mingjue said coldly: "Grace? Sect Master Jiang has not forgotten, who is the murderer of the Yunmeng Jiang clan's bloody case? Even if there is grace, it will have already been offset." ”

In the past few years, Jiang Cheng has insisted on being busy until late at night every day, and just today he was about to rest early, but he was bombed by this thunderous news and rushed to Jinlintai overnight.

This hatred was not only indiscriminately aimed at everyone here, but also at Wei Wuxian.

Lan Xichen said: "I can't say that, the remnants of Wen Qing and Wen Ning's lineage, I have verified that they have not participated in the expedition to shoot the sun, and there is no murder related to them." ”

Nie Mingjue turned to him, his expression softened slightly, but he still insisted on his disapproval position: "Second brother, I don't agree with this. As a member of the family, you should share the glory and disgrace with the family. If the Wen family does evil, the consequences will naturally be borne by the entire Wen family. What is it if you only enjoy preferential treatment when the family is prosperous, but the family is destroyed but refuses to bear the bitter fruits, take responsibility, and pay the price?"

A family head said, "Sect Master Jiang, what you said is not right. Have you forgotten how the Wen family treated other families back then? What kind of kindness did you tell them, and they even killed and injured their own people for this kindness!"

As soon as the atrocities of the Qishan Wen clan were mentioned, everyone was excited and noisy. Jin Guangshan wanted to speak, but he was unhappy when he saw this, Jin Guangyao looked at his expression, and hurriedly raised his voice: "Everyone, please don't be impatient." This is not the point of today's discussion. As he spoke, he asked the servants to bring chilled fruit slices to divert their attention, and then the Golden Pavilion gradually relented.

Jin Guangshan took the opportunity to say: "Sect Master Jiang, originally this was your family matter, and I couldn't interfere with it, 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 and left hand, you value him very much, we all know this." But on the other hand, whether he respects you, the head of the family, is difficult to say. Anyway, I have been the head of the family for so many years, and I have never seen a subordinate of a family dare to be so arrogant and arrogant. He shook his head and said, "On such a big occasion as the Hundred Family Flower Banquet, I dare to shake my face in front of you, and I will leave." Yesterday I was even more presumptuous with you behind my back, and even he dared to say such things as not taking you as the head of the family in his eyes at all, which was disrespectful at all......"

Hearing the last sentence, Jiang Cheng's face was already very ugly.

Suddenly, a cold voice said, "No." ”

Jin Guangshan was arranging energetically, and he was stunned when he heard the words, and like everyone else, he followed the prestige.

I saw Lan Wangji sitting precariously, and said calmly: "Wei Ying didn't say that he didn't take Sect Master Jiang in his eyes. What he meant by that was that he had always been so unscrupulous. There is no disrespect. ”

Lan Wangji has very few words outside, even when he asks questions about the law at the Qing Talks, only when others ask him questions and challenges, he answers concisely and sparingly, in a few words, to the point, and beats the eloquence of others, and almost never takes the initiative to speak out. It was Jin Guangshan who was interrupted by him, and his surprise was far greater than his displeasure. But after all, it was tampering with the original words, adding fuel and vinegar to being demolished in public, and I felt slightly embarrassed. Fortunately, he was not embarrassed for long, and Jin Guangyao immediately came to save him, and said in surprise: "Is that what you said? Hey, that day Wei Gongzi broke into Jinlintai with a lot of momentum, and said too many words, one sentence was more shocking than the other, I don't remember it very well, Hanguangjun actually remembered it so clearly." However, the meaning of these two sentences is similar. ”

His memory was no worse 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 almost the same, anyway, I just don't take Sect Master Jiang in my eyes." ”

One of the heads of the family said, "Actually, I wanted to say it a long time ago. Although this Wei Wuxian has some credit for the Sunshooting Campaign, it is not nice to say. He was, after all, the son of a domestic servant. How can the son of a domestic servant be so arrogant?"

When he talked about the "son of a domestic servant", some people naturally thought that there was a "son of a prostitute" standing in the hall, and they couldn't help but peep. Jin Guangyao clearly noticed these unkind eyes, but he still smiled perfectly and did not fall at all. Everyone began to follow the crowd to express their dissatisfaction:

"Sect Master Jin asked Wei Ying to present the Yin Tiger Talisman, which was originally a good intention, but I was afraid that he would not be able to control it and cause a big disaster. But he guessed with the heart of a villain, thinking that who coveted his magic weapon? If he wanted to use a magic weapon, who didn't have a few treasures of the town. ”

"It's okay if he's just arrogant and doesn't know how to respect people, but this time he killed the monks on our side for a few warm dogs, who is this going to challenge?"

"I said a long time ago that he would have problems cultivating the ghost path, right? Look, the murderous nature has begun to be exposed. ”

"It's not indiscriminate killing, is it...... It seems that he only killed the overseers who abused and beat Wen Ning and others. ”

Lan Wangji originally seemed to have entered the realm of empty meditation where everything was not heard, and when he heard the sound, he raised his eyes and looked.

It was a young woman with a beautiful face, standing beside a head of the house, and as soon as this cautious sentence came out, it was immediately attacked by a group of nearby monks: "What do you mean by this? Do you want to say that he is justified in killing our people? and praise this as an act of benevolence?"

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' is the right word. ”

The other spat and said, "What's wrong? Wei Wuxian has been killing indiscriminately since the Shooting of the Sun, can you deny it?"

The woman tried to argue: "The battle to shoot the sun is a battlefield, and on the battlefield, isn't everyone counted as indiscriminate killing? And we are talking about another thing now, saying that he killed indiscriminately, I really don't think it counts." After all, there is a reason for the incident, if those overseers did kill Wen Ning and others, this is not called indiscriminate killing, it is called revenge, nothing more. ”

stuck, one person said stiffly: "But no one knows if those overseers really killed Wen Ning, and no one saw it with their own eyes." ”

The other 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, and he teased you at the bottom of the Xuanwu Cave when he slaughtered you, and he is still arguing for him and reversing black and white." ”

In the past, Wei Wuxian's slaughter of the bottom of the Xuanwu Cave to save the United States also served as a romantic conversation for a period of time, and many people immediately realized that this young woman was the "Mianmian".

Someone immediately muttered, "No wonder you spoke to Wei Wuxian so badly......

Mian Mian said angrily: "What kind of strong words and reversal of black and white? I'm just talking about things, and what does it matter if I'm a woman? If you can't be reasonable, will you attack me with something else?"

Several people from the same family as her shouted: "You are biased, what are you talking about?"

"Don't talk nonsense with her, this kind of person is actually our family...... You can also sneak into the Golden Pavilion. ”

Mianmian was so angry that her eyes were red, with tears in her eyes, and after a while, she said: "Your voice is loud, good, you are reasonable!"

She jerked off her robe and slapped it on the table. Others were shocked by her behavior. This behavior represents "quitting the family".

Mianmian didn't say a word, turned around and walked out.

After a while, someone sneered: "If you dare to take off your ability, don't wear it back!"

sparsely, some people began to echo: "A woman is a woman, I can't stand it if I say a few words, and I will definitely come back by myself in two days." ”

"Definitely. After all, it was not easy to change from the daughter of a house slave to a protégé, hehe......"

Lan Wangji let the voices behind him dance wildly, and he also stood up and walked out. Lan Xichen listened to the more they talked about the direction, the more unbearable it became, and said warmly: "Everyone, the people are gone, shut up." ”

Ze Wujun spoke up, and others naturally wanted to give some face, and the Golden Pavilion began to reprimand Wen Gou and Wei Wuxian, and a feverish hatred that gritted his teeth, indiscriminately, and did not allow any refutation stirred in the air.

Taking advantage of this atmosphere, Jin Guangshan continued to say to Jiang Cheng: "I think he has been planning to go to the mass grave for a long time, after all, with his ability, it is not difficult to set up his own door." took this opportunity to break away from the Jiang family, thinking that the sea outside was wide and the sky was high for birds to fly. You have worked so hard to rebuild the Yunmeng Jiang Clan, there are already many controversial places on him, and he doesn't know how to converge, and he has caused you so much trouble, and he didn't take you into account at all. ”

Jiang Cheng forced his composure and said, "Wei Wuxian is so arrogant that even my father can't do anything about him. ”

Jin Guangshan laughed twice and said, "Brother Feng Mian can't help him? Brother Feng Mian, that is to favor him." ”

Hearing the word "preference", the muscles at the corners of Jiang Cheng's mouth twitched.

Jin Guangshan continued: "Sect Master Jiang, you are different from your father, now that the Yunmeng Jiang Clan has only been rebuilt for a few years, it is the time for you to establish your authority. He didn't know how to avoid suspicion, so let the new protégés of the Jiang family see it, what should they think? Do you want to take him as an example?"

He said one sentence after another, pressing step by step, striking while the iron was hot. Jiang Cheng said slowly: "...... Sect Master Jin didn't need to say any more. I'll go to a mass grave and settle this matter. ”

After the convocation was over, all the heads of the family felt that they had received a great deal of talk today, and they were discussing it hotly while hurrying, and their anger was still unabated.

Three of them gathered. Lan Xichen said: "Third brother, thank you for your hard work. ”

Jin Guangyao smiled: "I'm not working hard, I'm working hard for Sect Master Jiang's table." A few places were crushed by him, it seems that he is really angry. ”

Nie Mingjue walked over and said, "Clever words, it's really hard. ”

Hearing this, Lan Xichen smiled and said nothing, Jin Guangyao knew that Nie Mingjue was going to teach him to be a good man when he seized an opportunity, and he was quite helpless, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "Hey, second brother, what about forgetting the opportunity? I see that he left the scene early just now." ”

Lan Xichen motioned ahead, and Jin Guangyao and Nie Mingjue turned to look. I saw that in the sea of flowers of Venus Snow Waves, Lan Wangji and the woman who had withdrawn from the family in the Golden Pavilion were standing face to face. The woman was still in tears. Lan Wangji's expression was solemn, and the two were talking.

Suddenly, Lan Wangji bowed his head slightly and saluted her.

This salute, in respect, is also solemn.

The woman also gave him a more solemn salute, and wore the gown without a family crest, and floated down the golden platform.

Nie Mingjue said: "Although this woman is on the wrong side, she is much more backbone than the rabble in her family. ”

Jin Guangyao praised: "Yes." ”

But in his heart, he said: "Big brother is here again." What is backbone and can you eat it. finally climbed from the daughter of a house slave to a protégé, because of a moment of anger in public, she left the family in public, and many years of hard work were put into water, so why bother. If you are unhappy in your heart, grit your teeth and climb to the top, and kill all the people who have laughed at her today, wouldn't it be more resentful? This little beauty is really stupid. If people want to talk about any backbone and shame, they are destined to stop there. ”

Two days later, Jiang Cheng led 30 protégés to a mass grave.

Sure enough, as others said, before the cursed wall at the foot of the mountain was torn down, it was surrounded by countless murderous corpses, and it was difficult to fly. These murderous corpses were wandering at the foot of the mountain, Jiang Cheng stepped forward, they were indifferent, but if the protégés behind Jiang Cheng got closer, they let out a low roar of warning.

It seems that Wei Wuxian has already given the order. Most likely he had been waiting on the mountain for a long time.

Jiang Cheng ordered his protégés to wait at the foot of the mountain, only to go to work, walk through the black and oppressive woods, and walk a long way before there was a human voice in front of him.

There are several round tree stumps on the side of the mountain road, one large, like a table, and three small, like spring stools. A woman in red and Wei Wuxian sat on two of the tree stumps, and several honest-looking men were digging through the dirt on a nearby piece of land.

Wei Wuxian shook his legs and said, "Plant potatoes." ”

The woman said in a resolute tone, "Plant turnips." Radish is a good seed and does not die easily. Potatoes are hard to serve. ”

Wei Wuxian said: "The radish is unpalatable. ”

Jiang Cheng snorted, and Wei Wuxian and Wen Qing were not surprised to see him when they turned around. Wei Wuxian got up from the stump, walked over, didn't say a word, and walked towards the mountain, Jiang Cheng didn't ask, and followed him.

Another group of men was busy in front of a few wooden shelves. They were supposed to be monks of the Wen family, but after taking off their robes of the scorching sun and putting on coarse cloth clothes, they had hammers and saws in their hands, and wood and straw on their shoulders, and they climbed up and down, busy with everything they were, no different from ordinary farmers and hunters. When they saw Jiang Cheng, they could see from the clothes and swords that this was a great sect master, as if they had palpitations, they all stopped what they were doing, looked at it hesitantly, and didn't dare to come out.

Wei Wuxian waved his hand and said, "Go on." ”

As soon as he spoke, the group continued with peace of mind. Jiang Cheng said: "What are you doing here?"

Wei Wuxian said, "Can't you see it?" ”

Jiang Cheng said: "Build a house? What were those people who were turning over the soil doing when they came up just now? Don't tell me that you really plan to farm." ”

Wei Wuxian said, "Didn't you hear it all? ”

Jiang Cheng said: "You are farming on a mountain of corpses, can you eat the things you grow? Do you really plan to stay here for a long time? Can people stay in this ghost place?"

Wei Wuxian said, "I've been here for three months. ”

After being silent for a while, Jiang Cheng said, "Not going back to Lotus Dock?"

Wei Wuxian said: "Yiling Yunmeng is so close, when you want to go back, you can go back secretly." ”

Jiang Cheng sneered: "What you think is beautiful." ”

He still wanted to speak, but suddenly felt a weight on his legs, looked down, and at some point, a two or three-year-old child secretly rubbed over and hugged his legs, and was lifting his round face and looking at him with round black eyes.

It was a cute child of Yuxue, but it was a pity that Jiang Cheng had no love, and he said to Wei Wuxian: "Where is the child? ”

Wei Wuxian bent down, picked up the child, made him sit on his arm, and said, "What take it away." How can you use this word. Ah Yuan, why do you hug your legs when you see someone? Go! Don't bite your nails just after playing with the mud, do you know what kind of mud this is? Take it away! Don't touch my face. Where's Grandma?"

An old lady with sparse white hair hurriedly walked over with a wooden cane, and when she saw Jiang Cheng, she also recognized that this was a big person, and she looked a little scared, and her figure became more and more rickety. Wei Wuxian put the child named Ah Yuan on her lap and said, "Go play next to it." ”

The old lady hurriedly led the little grandson away, the child stumbled, and turned back while walking, Jiang Cheng sneered: "Those heads of the family still think that you have pulled a group of rebels to occupy the mountain as the king and form a banner, it turned out to be a group of old and weak women and children, crooked melons and cracked dates." ”

Wei Wuxian smiled self-deprecatingly, and Jiang Cheng said again, "What about Wen Ning?"
