In order to prevent the old and little old-fashioned ones surnamed Lan from attacking in the middle of the night, they dragged him off the bed and dragged him to punishment, Wei Wuxian slept all night with his sword. Unexpectedly, not only was the night calm, but on the second day, Nie Huaisang came to him with great joy: "Brother Wei, you are really lucky, the old man went to Qinghe last night to attend my family's Qing Talks." I don't have to listen to or be taught these days!"

The old one is missing, and the small one is left, this is not easy to deal with! Wei Wuxian got up and rejoiced while putting on his boots: "If it is really good luck, the auspicious clouds cover the sky to help me." ”

Jiang Cheng carefully wiped his sword on the side and poured cold water on him: "When he comes back, you still can't escape the punishment." ”

Wei Wuxian said: "Who cares about the aftermath before death, a few days are a few days." Let's go, I don't believe that there are still a few pheasants and beasts on the mountain of the Lan family. ”

The three of them hooked their shoulders and crossed their backs, passing by the elegant room of the living room where Yun Shen didn't know where, Wei Wuxian suddenly let out a "huh", paused, and said strangely: "Two little Gu ...... Lan Zhan!"

Several people walked out of the elegant room, led by two teenagers, whose appearance was the same ice carving, the same outfit was white Ruoxue, and even the sword spike behind them was the same and swayed with the streamers in the wind, only the temperament and expression were very different. Wei Wuxian immediately recognized that the one with a straight face was Lan Wangji, and the peaceful one must be the other one of the Lan Clan's twin powers, Lan Xichen, the king of Zewu.

Lan Wangji frowned when he saw Wei Wuxian, glaring at him almost "viciously", as if he would be tainted if he looked at it for a moment, and looked away and looked into the distance. Lan Xichen smiled and said, "What are the two of you?"

Jiang Cheng saluted: "Yunmengjiang is in the evening." ”

Wei Wuxian also saluted: "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 eldest brother also asked about your studies. How's it going? Is it okay to spend this year?"

Nie Huaisang said, "It's probably possible...... "He looked at Wei Wuxian pleadingly, like a frosted melon. Wei Wuxian grinned, "Zewu-kun, what are you going to do here?"

Lan Xichen said: "Remove the water." There is a shortage of manpower, and I came back to find a forgotten opportunity. ”

Lan Wangji said coldly: "Brother, why bother to say more, without further ado, let's set off." ”

Wei Wuxian hurriedly said, "Slowly, slowly." Catch water ghosts, I will, will Zewujun succeed with us?"

Lan Xichen smiled and said nothing, and Lan Wangji said, "It's not in accordance with the rules." ”

Wei Wuxian said, "What's wrong? We often catch water ghosts in Yunmeng. Besides, I don't have to listen to school these days. ”

Yunmeng has many lakes and waters, rich in water, the Jiang family is really good at this, Jiang Cheng also has the heart to make up for the face that the Yunmeng Jiang family has lost in the Lan family these days, and said: "Yes, Zewujun, we will definitely be able to help." ”

"Not necessarily. Gusu Lan also ......" Before Lan Wangji finished speaking, Lan Xichen smiled and said, "It's okay, thank you very much." Get ready and let's go. Can Huaisang go with him?"

Although Nie Huaisang wanted to go with him to join in the fun, when he met Lan Xichen, he remembered his eldest brother, and he was stunned in his heart, and he didn't dare to play, and said: "I'm not going, I'll go back to study ......" This posture, I hope that next time Lan Xichen can say a few more good words in front of his eldest brother. Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng went back to the room to prepare.

Lan Wangji looked at the backs of the two of them, frowning and puzzled: "Why did my brother bring them? ”

Lan Xichen said: "Sect Master Jiang's first disciple and only son have a good reputation in Yunmeng, and they don't necessarily just joke and play. ”

Lan Wangji was noncommittal, but his face was full of "I dare not agree".

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

Lan Wangji was stunned.

Lan Xichen said: "I look at your expression, it seems that you want to let Sect Master Jiang's eldest disciple go with me, so I agreed." ”

Before the room, there was silence like ice.

Several protégés on the side said in their hearts, I really never know how Ze Wujun saw what the second son was thinking, and he was really a brother......

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

He also had to argue that Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng had already carried their swords on their backs. Lan Wangji had no choice but to keep silent, and the group set off.

The place where the water ghosts haunt is called Caiyi Town, and it is more than 20 miles away from Yunshen.

The waterways of Caiyi Town are connected, and I don't know whether the small city is intertwined with dense river webs, or the spider web-like waterways are densely packed with houses on both sides. The river is full of boats and baskets, men and women. Flowers, vegetables and fruits, bamboo carved pastries, bean tea silk cotton, bought and sold along the river.

Gusu is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and the sound in the ears is soft and soft. The two boats collided head-on, overturned several jars of glutinous rice wine, and even the two boatmen couldn't hear the slightest anger. There are many lakes in Yunmeng, but there is no such water town. Wei Wuxian looked surprised, paid for two jars of glutinous rice wine, handed one to Jiang Cheng, and said, "The Gusu people are talking. What kind of quarrel is this, go and see how the Yunmeng people quarrel! can scare them to death...... Lan Zhan, what do you see me doing, I'm not a small tool that won't buy it for you, aren't people in your family not allowed to drink. ”

Without stopping much, he 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 river, and the river became quieter.

This river leads to a large lake in front of it, called Biling Lake.

Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng each occupied a boat, and while rowing faster than anyone else, they listened to the relevant matters of the water here.

Caiyi Town has not been plagued by water ghosts for decades, but 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 set up a net here, thinking that he could catch one or two, but who would have thought that he would catch more than a dozen water ghosts in a row. When the bodies were washed and taken to a nearby town for questioning, many of the bodies were unclaimed and no one knew them locally. Yesterday, I set up the formation again, and I actually caught a lot of them. Although Lan Xichen holds the jade flute 'Cracking Ice', the Lan family's barrier-breaking sound enters the water, and its power is weakened by more than half, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to cope with the large number of water stalks.

Wei Wuxian said: "If you want to say that you drowned somewhere else, you floated here along the water, it doesn't look like it." The water is usually only a piece of water, which is the place where they drowned, and rarely leaves. ”

Lan Xichen nodded: "Not bad." So I felt that this matter was not trivial, so I asked Wangji to come with me in case of an emergency. ”

Wei Wuxian said, "Zewujun, the water ghosts are very smart. If they keep hiding under the water and don't come out, won't they have to keep looking? What if they can't find it?"

Lan Wangji said: "Until you find it." Responsibilities. ”

Wei Wuxian: "Just use a net to catch it?"

Lan Xichen said: "Not bad. Could it be that the Yunmeng Jiang clan has another way?"

Wei Wuxian smiled but didn't answer. Of course, Yunmeng Jiang also uses nets, but he relies on his good water quality, and he always jumps into the river to directly drag the water ghosts up. This method is too dangerous, and it must not be used in front of the Lan family. He changed the subject: "If only there was something that could attract the water spirits themselves like bait." Or it can point out its bearing, like a compass. ”

Jiang Cheng said: "Look down at the water and concentrate on looking for you." It's whimsical again. ”

Wei Wuxian said: "Cultivating the Immortal Imperial Sword used to be whimsical!"

As soon as he lowered his head, he could just see the bottom of the ship that Lan Wangji was on, and his heart moved, and he shouted, "Lan Zhan, look at me." ”

Lan Wangji was concentrating on guard, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but look at him, but saw Wei Wuxian slash the bamboo artemisia in his hand, and a splash of water splashed down. Lan Wangji stepped on the soles of his feet, jumped lightly on the other boat, avoiding the splash, annoyed that he was really joking, and said, "Boring!"

Wei Wuxian kicked the side of the boat he had been standing on, and with a pick, the bamboo wormwood flipped the boat over, revealing the bottom of the boat. And on the wooden plank at the bottom of the boat, there were three water ghosts with puffy faces and dead white skin!

The protégé who was close immediately restrained the three. Lan Xichen smiled: "Young Master Wei, how do you know that they are at the bottom of the boat?"

Wei Wuxian knocked on the side of the ship: "The draft is not right. He was the only one standing on the boat, but the draft was heavier than that of two people's boats, and there must have been something on the bottom of the boat. ”

Lan Xichen praised: "Sure enough, he is experienced. ”

Wei Wuxian flicked the water lightly, and the boat flew away, rowing to a parallel 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. If I say it, they will hear it and run away. Hey, take care of me. ”

Lan Wangji condescended to ignore him, glanced at him, and said, "Why are you coming along?"

Wei Wuxian said sincerely, "I'm here to apologize to you. Last night it was me who was wrong, I was wrong. ”

Lan Wangji Yintang faintly blackened. It is estimated that Wei Wuxian "apologized" to him before he forgot the machine. Wei Wuxian asked knowingly, "Why is your face so ugly?" Don't be afraid, I'm really here to help today. ”

Jiang Cheng couldn't stand it anymore, and said, "If you want to help, don't talk nonsense, come over to me!"

One of the protégés shouted, "The net is moving!"

Sure enough, the net rope shook sharply. Wei Wuxian's spirits perked up: "It's coming, it's coming!"

Thick and long hair like water weeds swelled in unison beside dozens of small boats, and a pair of miserable white palms picked up the side of the boat. Lan Wangji drew his sword with his backhand, avoided the dust and unsheathed, and cut off more than a dozen wrists on the left side of the ship, leaving only the palm of his fingers digging deep into the wood. Just as he was about to slash the right side, a red light flashed, and Wei Wuxian had already put his sword back into its sheath.

The movement in the water stopped, and the net rope calmed down again. Wei Wuxian's sword came out extremely quickly, but Lan Wangji had already seen that what he was carrying must be a top-grade spirit sword, and asked solemnly, "What is the name of this sword?"

Wei Wuxian said, "Whatever." ”

Lan Wangji looked at him. Wei Wuxian thought he hadn't heard clearly, and said again: "Whatever." ”

Lan Wangji frowned and refused: "This sword has a spirit, and it is disrespectful to call it at will." ”

Wei Wuxian sighed and said, "It's a turn of the brain." I'm not saying that you can call it whatever you want, but that the name of my sword is 'whatever'. Look. As he spoke, he handed it over, allowing Lan Wangji to read the words on the sword clearly. There are two ancient characters engraved in the scabbard pattern, and it is really the word "casual".

Lan Wangji was speechless for a long time.

Wei Wuxian said thoughtfully, "You don't need to say it, I know, you must want to ask me why I am called this name? Actually, it doesn't have any special meaning, but when Uncle Jiang gave me the sword, he asked me what I wanted to call it? I thought of more than 20 names at that time, but none of them were satisfied, and I said let Uncle Jiang get me one, so I replied, 'Whatever!'. Who knew that the sword was cast and baked, and there were these two words on it. Uncle Jiang said, "In that case, then this sword is called casual." 'That's a good name, right?'

Finally, Lan Wangji squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "...... Ridiculous!"

Wei Wuxian slung his sword to his shoulder and said, "You're so boring. How funny this name is, set a little serious like you, one set is accurate, haha!"

At this moment, in the turquoise water, a long black shadow flashed around the boat.
