37. Grass and Trees VIII 5

Lan Jingyi took a look at the crack in the door, and then blocked the crack with her body, and said dumbfounded: "Good, good, lot!"

Wei Wuxian said, "Walking corpses, how much?"

Lan Jingyi said: "It must be more than 100, I don't know, but it's all over the street, and it's getting more and more! I think those two paper figures can't hold on!"

If the pair of paper figures guarding the door can't hold it, the walking corpses on the entire street outside the door will flood into the shop. Chop, the corpse poison powder, and fight hard, the toxin will flow away very quickly, if you don't cut, you will be bitten to death. Xiao Xingchen held his sword and wanted to push the door out, probably trying to resist it with his residual strength for a while, but a layer of purple qi surged up on his cheeks, and he actually sat on the ground. Wei Wuxian said, "You can sit in peace." It was solved very quickly. ”

He casually slashed the index finger of his right hand on Lan Jingyi's sword, blood beads dripped down, and Lan Jingyi said: "Do you want to use the eye to summon the general technique again?

Wei Wuxian said, "Is there a blank talisman seal?"

This group of children of the family is still young, and they have not yet reached the time when they can draw and use it, so they have prepared all the talismans and seals that have already been drawn. Lan Sichai shook his head and said, "No." Wei Wuxian said, "It's okay to paint it." Lan Sichai took out a stack of yellow talismans from the Qiankun bag.

Wei Wuxian only took one, glanced at it cursoryly, and raised his right index and middle fingers, drawing from the top to the end on the rune drawn by cinnabar, the red blood and the crimson cinnabar forming a new pair of runes. He picked up the rejuvenated talisman with the two fingers of his right hand, raised it to the level of his forehead, and flipped his wrist, and the yellow talisman red characters spontaneously ignited in the air. Wei Wuxian stretched out his left hand, caught the talisman ash that fell slowly after burning, retracted his five fingers, bowed his head slightly, and while opening it, he gently blew the black ash in his palm towards the rows of paper figures, and said in a low voice: "The wildfire can't burn inexhaustibly, and the spring breeze blows and grows again." ”

Fu Dust.

One of the Yin Lix standing at the front suddenly carried the machete hanging at his feet on his shoulder.

Beside him, a paper beauty with towering temples and rich clothes slowly raised her right hand, her slender and slender five fingers swirling flexibly, as if she were a lazy noblewoman, casually admiring her long, scarlet-painted nails. At the feet of the beauty stood two golden boys and girls, the golden boy naughtily tugged at the braids of the jade girl, the jade girl stuck out her tongue at him, a long tongue of nearly nine inches suddenly poked out from her small mouth, and the poisonous snake poked a big hole in the boy's chest, and then retracted, poisonous and ruthless. The golden boy opened his mouth wide, revealing two white fangs, and bit down on her arm. The two paper boys actually started fighting on their own.

Twenty or thirty paper figures, one by one, began to sway from side to side, as if moving their muscles and bones. While shaking, they exchanged their heads and ears, and the sound of squirming rose and fell. It is better not to be alive, than to be alive.

Wei Wuxian staggered his body and stepped out of the direction of the gate, making an inviting gesture.

The wooden door popped open again, and the fishy, sweet and rotten breath of corpse poison powder poured in, and everyone immediately covered their mouths and raised their sleeves to block it. Yin Lux roared and rushed out first, and the rest of the paper people rushed out. The wooden door closed again after the last paper figure. Wei Wuxian said, "No one sucked it in, right?"

Everyone said that they had paid attention just now, but they didn't. Wei Wuxian picked up Xiao Xingchen and dragged a low couch so that he didn't have to sit on the cold, dusty floor. Xiao Xingchen still held his frost sword tightly and said, "Your Excellency will use the Eye-Calling Technique?"

Wei Wuxian said, "Roughly understood. "You can't say that he passed on the technique of summoning generals. Hyosungchen was stunned and said, "Hmm...... It is indeed the best way to kill these walking corpses. ”

After a pause, he said, "However, if you practice this way, you are very vulnerable to the backlash of your fierce ghosts. Even Wei Wuxian, the ancestor of Yiling, who was the ancestor of this Dao Mountain, was not immune. Hyosungchen said tactfully, "Your Excellency, why don't you think more about whether your path is right in the future?" ”

Most of the monks who have become famous will stand up with a clear banner, draw a line, and show that they do not share the sky with someone. It is rare for his little uncle to be able to persuade him gently. Generally speaking, only young people who are not deeply involved in the world are curious about these crooked ways, and the novelty is greater than the disgust and condemnation. Except for Jin Ling, whose face has always been ugly, the other children of the family are crowded in front of the crack in the door to watch the battle. Tut: "Wow...... The nails of that female paper man are so terrifying, and if you scratch her, it's five grooves. "Why is that little girl's tongue so long and so hard? Is she a hanged ghost?" "The man has so much strength! He can lift so many walking corpses at once, and he is going to fall to the ground! Look! Fall! Break!"

Wei Wuxian took the last bowl of glutinous rice porridge on the table and said, "You have been deeply poisoned, there is a bowl of things here, which may be able to give you some relief, or it may not be of any use, and it is very unpalatable." Do you want to try it? If you don't want to live, forget it. ”

Hyosungchen said, "Of course I want to live." If you can, you should live as much as you can. He took the bowl with both hands, lowered his head and took a sip, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he squeezed it tightly so that he didn't vomit. After a while, he said politely: "Thank you." ”

Wei Wuxian turned his head and said, "Did you see it? Did you see it? What did people say? You were squeamish, you ate the porridge I cooked, and complained a lot." ”

Jin Ling said: "Is that what you cooked? What else did you do besides adding a bunch of strange things to the pot?"

Hyosungchen said, "But I just thought about it. If I were to eat this every day, I would choose to die. ”

Jin Ling laughed loudly mercilessly, and even Lan Sichai couldn't hold back, and "poofed". Wei Wuxian looked at them wordlessly, and Lan Sichai hurriedly straightened up. At this time, Lan Jingyi said happily: "Okay, it's all done." We won!"

Xiao Xingchen hurriedly said, "Don't open the door yet." Don't slack off. Will definitely come back. ”

Wei Wuxian approached the wooden door and looked out through the crack in the door. Just after an inhuman fight, the streets were filled with thin white mist and purple-red dust. The powder of corpse poison is gradually dissipating. The group of paper figures walked slowly and leisurely through the streets, littered with corpses, and when they came across those who could still move, they stepped on them until they were completely rotten into a mess of flesh.

Other than that, there was silence. No new walking corpses have arrived yet.

At this moment, there was a very light movement above Wei Wuxian's head.

The sound was so imperceptible that it seemed to be the movement of someone walking quickly on the tiles, but this person's body was extremely light and weird, and the sound of his feet was close to nothing. But Wei Wuxian's five senses were sensitive, and it was only then that he caught the subtle clashing sound between the tiles. Not to mention the blind man Xiao Xingchen, he reminded: "Above!"

Wei Wuxian shouted, "Spread out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large hole broke in the roof above the hall, and broken tiles, dust, and blades of grass fell like rain. Fortunately, many teenagers have scattered in all directions with agility, and these things have not hit anyone. A black figure fell through a breach in the roof.

This man was dressed in a black robe, tall and tall, with a straight waist and standing like a pine. With a dust on his back, a long sword in his hand, a handsome face, and a slight head raised, he looked very lonely.

However, there were no pupils in his eyes, and they were dead white.

A walking corpse.

Everyone had just decided on this matter in their minds, only to see him stabbing with his sword.

He stabbed Jin Ling, who was closest to him, and Jin Ling resisted with his sword, only to feel that the power from the sword was extremely great, and his arm was numb. A sword fails, and it is another sword, coherent as flowing water, ruthless as hatred as deep as the sea. In a hurry, Xiao Xingchen took out his sword to block it for him, maybe the corpse poison was surging, he barely took out the sword, but he fell down and didn't move.

Lan Jingyi exclaimed: "Is he dead or alive?! I've never seen such ......."

A walking corpse with such agility and superb swordsmanship!

He didn't finish the second half of the sentence, not because of how difficult the evaluation was, but because he remembered that he had seen it.

Isn't the ghost general like this?

Wei Wuxian stared at the Taoist man tightly, his thoughts racing: "Could it be that someone other than me has refined this kind of murderous corpse?" He pulled out the bamboo flute on his waist, and as soon as it came up, it was a poignant and piercing long tone, piercing everyone else present to cover their ears. When the Taoist heard the sound of the flute, his body shook, and his hand holding the sword couldn't help shaking, and finally he stabbed with a sword!

It is impossible to control zhì. This murderous corpse does have an owner!

Wei Wuxian staggered to avoid the thunderous sword, and as he turned, he calmly blew out another tune. Suddenly, the paper figures who were patrolling outside also jumped onto the roof and jumped down from the hole. The murderous corpse sensed that an alien was approaching, and stabbed back with two swords with his right hand, splitting the two paper figures in half from head to bottom. The left hand pulled out the dust, and thousands of soft white threads seemed to turn into steel whip stingers, and with a flick of it, it was a headshot and a severed limb. Wei Wuxian took the time out of his busy schedule and said, "Don't come here, stay in the corner!" After speaking, he continued to urge, and the flute sometimes jumped out of flirtatiousness, sometimes high-pitched like anger. Although the man used both hands and was extremely fierce, there was a steady stream of paper figures falling from above, attacking around him, and he hit this side and that, killing the front and the back. Suddenly, a Yin Force fell from the sky above his head, struck him, stepped on his shoulder, and crushed him to the ground.

Immediately afterward, three more Yin Lishi jumped down from the hole and smashed on him one after the other. Yin Lishi is said to be infinitely powerful, when the craftsman pierces them, he will add something to increase their weight, and after being summoned to the lonely soul and wild ghost, it is even more a race to the death, so smashing one, it is like Mount Tai pressing the top. It's remarkable to smash four of them in one go, and not to be smashed to the point of spitting out the internal organs. The murderous corpse in Taoist robes was tightly pressed by the four Yin Lix, and he couldn't move.

Wei Wuxian walked over and found that there was a tear in his clothes behind him, smoothed it out, and could see a wound near his left shoulder blade under the damage, which was thin and narrow, and said, "Turn it over." ”

The four Yin Lix turned the man over and turned his back to the sky so that he could easily inspect it. Wei Wuxian stretched out his wounded fingers and brushed them across their lips as a sign of reward. The Yin Lux stretched out their tongues and slowly and cherished the blood in their mouths, as if they were eating with relish. Wei Wuxian lowered his head and continued to check. This Taoist had the same break on his left chest near his heart, the same narrow wound. It's like being killed by someone with a sword in the heart.

The corpse struggled hard, a low growl coming from its throat, and blood was running from the corners of its mouth that were almost jet black. Wei Wuxian pinched his cheek and forced him to open his mouth, and when he looked inside, his tongue had also been uprooted.

Blind, tongue pulling. Blind, tongue pulling.

Why do these two traits appear so frequently?

Wei Wuxian looked at his expression and felt that this appearance was very similar to when Wen Ning was controlled by the black nails at that time, and his heart moved, and he reached out to grope near his temple. It really made him touch two metal dots!

This kind of black nail is used to control high-level murderous corpses, causing them to lose their sanity and ability to think independently. Wei Wuxian didn't know the identity and personality of this corpse, so he couldn't rashly pull out the nail and stop it for the time being. He felt the need for a proper interrogation. But now that the tongue has been removed, the murderous corpse is speechless even if it is awake. He asked the juniors of the Lan family, "Among you, has any of you cultivated the Soul Question?"

Lan Si chased: "Me. I did. ”

Wei Wuxian said, "Did you bring the piano?"

Lan Si chased: "Bring it." From the Qiankun bag, he took out a simple style and a shiny wood guqin. Wei Wuxian looked at the piano as if it was very new, and said, "How is your piano language cultivated? Have you ever practiced it in actual combat? Will the spirits you invite lie?"

Lan Jingyi interjected: "Si Chai's qin language Hanguangjun said that it's okay. ”

Lan Wangji said "It's okay", then it must be okay, it won't be exaggerated, and it won't belittle, Wei Wuxian was relieved. Lan Si chased: "Hanguangjun said, let me cultivate more than I cultivate, and the spirit invited can choose not to answer, but I must not lie." So as long as it is willing to answer, then what it says must be the truth. ”

Wei Wuxian said, "Let's start." ”

The guqin was laid across the head of the Taoist, and Lan Sichai sat on the ground, his hem neatly spread out, and tried two notes. Wei Wuxian said, "The first question is to ask him who he is. ”

Lan Si thought about it and recited the mantra silently, so he dared to pop up a sentence and let go of his hand.

In the middle of the night, the strings vibrated and two notes played like a golden stone cracking. Lan Sichai's eyes widened. Lan Jingyi urged: "What did he say?"

Lan Sichai said in a low voice: "Song Lan!"

…… Xiao Xingchen's close friend, Song Lan?!

Everyone looked at Xiao Xingchen who fell to the ground unconscious, and Lan Si chased: "I don't know if he knows, it's Song Lan ...... who came."

Jin Ling also lowered his voice and said, "Most of them don't know." He is a blind man, Song Lan is mute, and he has become a murderous corpse with no reason to speak of. I don't know the best. ”

Wei Wuxian said: "The second question, ask him, who was killed for." ”

Lan Sichai popped up seriously.

This time, the silence lasted three times as long as last time.

Just when they all thought that Song Lan's soul was unwilling to answer this question, the strings trembled and sounded three times in pain.

Lan Sichai blurted out: "Impossible!"

Wei Wuxian said, "What did he say?"

Lan Sichai's face was full of disbelief, and he said with difficulty: "He said...... Hyosung Dust. ”

The one who killed Song Lan was Xiao Xingchen?!

They only asked two questions, and the answer to one question was more shocking than the other. Jin Ling was suspicious: "You played it wrong." ”

Lan Si chased: "However, the two questions of 'who is you' and 'for whom' are the two simplest and most frequently asked questions in "Ask the Spirit", everyone starts to practice "Ask the Spirit", the first and second sentences they learn are them, and they have been practiced no less than 10 million times, and I have confirmed it repeatedly just now, and there is no mistake in playing. ”

Jin Ling said: "Either your "Asking Spirit" is played wrong, or your piano language is wrong. ”

Lan Sichai shook his head and said, "If it is impossible to make a mistake, it is even more impossible to solve a mistake. The words 'Hyosungchen' and the name are not common in Lailing's answers. If he had answered with a different name, and I had taken it wrong, I wouldn't have mistaken it. ”

Lan Jingyi muttered, "If this is true...... And how much of what we hear is true...... Song Lan went to find the missing Xiao Xingchen, but Xiao Xingchen killed him...... Why did he kill his best friend? He doesn't look like that?"

Wei Wuxian said: "Don't worry about this for now, think about it, and ask the third question: who is in charge." ”

Many pairs of eyes were glued to the strings, waiting for Song Lan's answer.

Lan Sichai explained word by word: "Er, wait, body, back, of, people." ”

The crowd jerked back. I saw that Xiao Xingchen, who had fainted on the ground, had already sat up, supported his cheek with one hand, smiled at them, raised his left hand wearing black gloves, and snapped his fingers.

The crisp sound reached Song Lan's ears on the ground, as if it was suddenly exploding in his ears, and Song Lan suddenly swept out the four Yin Lili who were firmly holding him!

He jumped to his feet, discarded his long sword and whisk again, and used his left and right hands together, cutting and twisting the four Yin Lux into colorful pieces of paper. The sword pressed against Wei Wuxian's neck, and the dust was aimed menacingly at the children of the family.

In this square inch of land in the shop, the wind and clouds are changing rapidly.

Jin Ling put his hand on the sword, Wei Wuxian squinted at it, and hurriedly said, "Don't move, don't make a mess." Compared with swordsmanship, the people here together are not Song Lan's opponents. ”

His body has low spiritual power, and his sword is not by his side. Not to mention that there is also a Hyosungchen.

Hyosungchen said, "Adults talk to adults, and children go out." ”

He gestured to Song Lan, and Song Lan silently obeyed the order and drove the group of children of the family out. Wei Wuxian said, "Let's go out first." You can't help here. The corpse poison powder outside should be sinking, don't run around and step on the dust when you go out, and slow down your breathing. ”

When Jin Ling heard that "I can't help here", he was not convinced, and he was annoyed, so he walked out first angrily. Lan Si chased and stopped. Wei Wuxian said: "Si Chai, you are the most sensible, take them with you." Can it be done?"

Lan Sicha nodded. Wei Wuxian said, "Don't be afraid. ”

Lan Si chased: "Don't be afraid. ”

"Really?"

"Really. Lan Sichai actually smiled: "Senior, you are really similar to Hanguangjun." ”

Wei Wuxian said curiously: "Like, where are we like?" Lan Si didn't answer, and went out with the rest of the people.

He said silently in his heart: "I don't know, but it just feels very similar." It seems that as long as there is either of these two seniors, there is no need to worry about being afraid of anything. ”

Out of nowhere, Xiao Xingchen took out a small red pill and ate it, saying, "It's really touching." ”

After he ate it, the purple aura on his face quickly subsided, and Wei Wuxian said, "Corpse poison antidote?"

Hyosungchen said, "That's good. Much more effective than your horrible bowl of porridge, right? And sweet. ”

Wei Wuxian said, "Your Excellency's drama is really enough. From the battle outside where he fought bravely to kill the corpse and exhausted his strength, and then blocked the sword for Jin Ling and lost consciousness, it was all played for us?"

Xiao Xingchen raised a finger, shook it in front of him, and said, "I'm not acting for 'you', but for 'you'." I have admired the name of the ancestor of Yiling for a long time, and it is better to see it than to hear it.

"I guess you haven't told anyone who you are, right? So I didn't demolish you and let them out, and we talked behind closed doors. How's that, isn't it sweet?"

Wei Wuxian said, "The walking corpses in Yicheng are all driven by you?"

Hyosungchen said, "Hmm. From the moment you came in and played that flute, I thought you were a little weird. So I'm going to test it myself. Sure enough, a low-level technique like the Eye Summoning Technique can also exert such a powerful force, and saying that you are not the founder is like telling a joke. ”

Wei Wuxian said: "I really can't hide it from my peers." So, what do you want me to do with this bunch of children as hostages?"

Xiao Xingchen smiled: "I want you to do a favor, senior." A little favor. ”

His mother's junior brother actually called him senior, this generation is too messy. Wei Wuxian was hesitant in his heart, only to see Xiao Xingchen take out a lock spirit bag, put it on the table, and said, "Please." ”

Wei Wuxian put his hand on the surface of the lock spirit sac, took the pulse for a while, and said, "What kind of soul? ”

Xiao Xingchen said, "If this person's soul sticks so easily, then what am I asking you to help me do?"

Wei Wuxian withdrew his hand and said, "This little bit of soul is too little in it. And this person should have been tortured and painful in his life, and he probably committed suicide and did not want to return to this world. You want me to mend this soul, but you know for sure that if a soul doesn't have the desire to survive, then ninety percent of it can't be saved. If I'm not mistaken, this bit of soul was forcibly spliced together, and once it leaves the lock spirit bag, it may disperse at any time. ”

Hyosungchen said, "I don't care. You have to help if you don't help. Don't forget the seniors, the group of children you brought are all looking at you outside the door, waiting for you to take them out of danger. ”

He spoke in a very peculiar tone, sounding affectionate, and a little sweet, but there was a gratuitous ferocity. It seems that the last moment I was calling you a brother and a senior and calling me happy, and the next moment I can turn my face and move the killer. Wei Wuxian smiled and said, "Well, Your Excellency is also better than seeing it. Xue Yang, you are such a rascal, why do you want to pretend to be a Taoist?"

After a pause, "Hyosungchen" raised his hand and removed the bandage from his eye.

The bandages fell layer by layer, revealing a pair of eyes that were as bright as stars and sparkled with light.

Intact eyes.

This is a young and likable face, which can be said to be handsome, but the pair of tiger teeth that are exposed when he smiles are so cute that they are almost childish, and they invisibly hide the ferocity and wildness in his eyes.

Xue Yang threw the bandage aside and said, "Oops, you found out." ”

Wei Wuxian said: "Deliberately pretending to be scared of pain, making people embarrassed to take off your bandages to look at them." deliberately exposed the frost and deliberately said that he was leaking. will not only use bitter meat tricks, but also use people's sympathy, and play a good style of clean and righteous righteousness. If it weren't for the fact that there are too many things you shouldn't know and shouldn't know, I really believe that you are Hyosungchen. ”

Moreover, when "Asking the Spirit", Song Lan finally answered two questions, one of the answers was "Xiao Xingchen" and the other was "wait for the person behind you". If "the person behind you" is also Xiao Xingchen, there is no reason why Song Lan must change the way of expression.

Unless, "Hyosungchen" and "the person behind you" are not the same person at all. And Song Lan wanted to remind them that this person was very dangerous, but she answered Xue Yang directly, and she was afraid that they didn't know Xue Yang, so she had to use this way of expression.

Xue Yang smiled and said, "Who made him have a good reputation and I have a bad reputation?" Of course, you have to pretend to be him, so that it is easier to gain the trust of others. ”

Wei Wuxian arched his hand and said, "The acting skills are superb. ”

Xue Yang said: "Where, where." I have a very famous friend, and that's called superb acting. I'm ashamed of myself. Okay, don't talk nonsense, Senior Wei, you have to help with this favor. ”

Wei Wuxian said: "You are not under me. You made the black nails of Song Lan and Wen Ning, right? You can restore one of the Yin Tiger Talismans and repair a soul, so why do you need me to help. ”

Xue Yang said: "This is different. You are the founder. If you don't make the first half of the Yin Tiger Talisman first, I can't make the second half myself. Of course you're better than me. So what I can't do, you can do. ”

I really don't understand why people I don't know have an inexplicable self-confidence in his place. Wei Wuxian said, "You are humble. ”

Xue Yang said: "This is not modesty, this is a fact. I never like to talk about it. If I say that I want to kill a person and a whole family, then it must be the whole family, and not even a dog will be left for him. ”

Wei Wuxian just wanted to open his mouth and ask, "Like Liyang Chang's?" At this moment, the door was slammed open, and a black figure flew in.

Wei Wuxian and Xue Yang stepped back at the same time, leaving the square table, and Xue Yang quickly took the lock spirit sac. Song Lan gently supported the table with one hand, flipped up in the air, landed on the table, and lost his strength, then raised his head suddenly, looked at the door, and black blood climbed up his cheeks.

Wen Ning dragged a chain and a white mist and black wind, and broke through the door.

As early as when Wei Wuxian had just blown the first flute, he had already issued an order to summon Wen Ning. Wei Wuxian said to him, "Go out and fight, don't break it." Keep an eye on the living and don't let other walking corpses get close. ”

Wen Ning raised his right hand, and a chain was thrown over, and Song Lan raised the dust to greet him, and the two things hit each other and became entangled. Wen Ning dragged the chain back and back, but Song Lan didn't let go, so he dragged him out of the door. The children of the family had already taken refuge in another shop next to the house, stretching their necks to watch. Dust, iron cables, long swords, clanging, sparks flying. I only feel that these two murderous corpses are really fierce when they fight each other, the moves are ruthless, and the fists are to the flesh, if two living people fight like this, they will already lack arms and legs, and their brains will burst!

Wei Wuxian said, "Guess, Wen Ning and Song Lan fight, who will win?"

Xue Yang said: "What's the point of guessing? It must be the ghost general who wins." It's a pity that I nailed him so many skull nails, but he still refuses to obey. Some things are too confessional, and they are also very troublesome. ”

Wei Wuxian said nonchalantly: "Wen Ning is not a thing. ”

Xue Yang laughed and said, "Didn't you find any ambiguity in this statement?" When he said the word "yes", he suddenly drew his sword and stabbed him. Wei Wuxian dodged and said, "Do you often kill people in the middle of saying this?"

Xue Yang was surprised: "Of course." I'm a hooligan? Don't you know? I don't want to kill you, I just want you to be unable to move, go back with me first, and slowly help me repair this soul. This time he didn't finish speaking, and he slashed again. Wei Wuxian avoided and avoided among the fragments of paper figures all over the ground, and said in his heart, "This little rascal is really good. ”

Seeing that Xue Yang's sword was getting faster and faster, and the stabbing place was becoming more and more tricky and vicious, he couldn't help but say, "Are you bullying my body for having low spiritual power?"

Xue Yang said: "Hooligans." Color. ”

Wei Wuxian finally met someone who was more shameless than him, and he also grinned back, and said, "It's better to offend a good man than a hooligan." That's you. I don't fight you, I come with someone else. ”

Xue Yang smiled and said, "Who should I change? I sent more than 300 walking corpses to outflank him, and he ......."

Before the words fell, a white cloth fell from the sky, avoiding the dust, cold and clear blue light, and attacked him head-on.
