Chapter 26: The Shadow Owl Sixth, 4

He immediately added: "But, only once! And the main fault is not in our family, and it was already a few decades ago. The rumor of the cannibal castle on Xinglu Ridge began to circulate at that time. I...... I'm just fanning the flames and amplifying the rumors several times. ”

Lan Wangji said politely: "I want to hear about it." ”

As soon as he sat there, the power of this sentence was as threatening as a threat, and Nie Huaisang began to explain.

He said: "Hanguang-jun, you know that our Nie family is different from other immortal families. Because the ancestor of the Lijia family was a butcher, other families all cultivated immortal swords, but our family cultivated the way of the sword. ”

This is not a secret. Qinghe Nie's family crest is a hideous, dog-like beast head pattern. Nie Huaisang continued: "Because the way of cultivation is different from other families, and the ancestor of the founding family was born as a butcher, it is inevitable that there will be blood. The sabers of our successive family masters are extremely aggressive and murderous. Almost every head of the family went mad and died violently. And their temperament is irritable, which also has a lot to do with this. ”

For example, Nie Huaisang's eldest brother Nie Mingjue. This young immortal head is a sworn brother with Lan Xichen and Jin Guangyao, and Chifeng is resolute and majestic; Zewujun is as warm as jade, and his character is noble; Fang Zun is exquisite, cunning and keen. The three of them formed a righteous alliance in the expedition of shooting the sun, and each had a good story to circulate, and was later called the three by the family. But Nie Mingjue was in the limelight, and he went mad and died in a bloody manner at an important event, and many of the attendees that day were chased and injured when he went crazy. I was famous and ended up like this.

Nie Huaisang must have thought of his eldest brother, his expression was depressed for a while, and he said, "...... During the lifetime of these masters, the restlessness of their sabers could still be suppressed by their masters. But after the death of their owner, they will become a murder weapon if they are left uncontrolled. ”

Wei Wuxian raised his eyebrows: "This is close to the evil devil's crooked way." ”

Nie Huaisang hurriedly said: "This is different! The reason why demonic crooked ways are demonic crooked ways is because they want to kill people. But the knives in our house are not for people, but for those who complain about ghosts, fierce spirits, monsters, and monsters. They kill these things all their lives, and if they don't get rid of them, they will do it themselves, and they will make the family unhappy. The sword spirit only recognizes one master, and cannot be used by others. We, the descendants, can't melt the knife again. First, it is disrespectful to the ancestors, and second, it will not be solved if it is melted. ”

Wei Wuxian commented: "Uncle. ”

Nie Huaisang said: "No. The knife that followed the ancestors and ancestors to overcome thorns and thorns and seek immortals was originally an uncle. ”

No wonder the Qinghe Nie clan never condemned his cultivation method back then. Although he participated in the encirclement and suppression of mass graves, it was only to avenge the First World War. It turned out that the cultivation methods of their family in the past dynasties were very debatable.

Nie Huaisang continued: "As the cultivation of the head of the family has improved from generation to generation, this problem has become stricter from generation to generation. It wasn't until the sixth generation of my family came up with a solution. ”

Wei Wuxian said, "Is it to build a cannibal castle? ”

Nie Huaisang said: "No, no, although there is a connection, I didn't think of this method at first. That's what this sixth-generation head of the family did. He gave his father and grandfather knives, punched two coffins, and dug a mausoleum. There were no precious treasures in the mausoleum, but hundreds of dead bodies that were about to be turned into murderous corpses were placed. ”

Lan Wangji frowned slightly, and Nie Huaisang was so frightened that he immediately said, "Hanguang-jun, you listen to my explanation!" These corpses weren't killed by our family! It was collected from all over the world with great painstaking efforts! There are also many that are bought with a lot of money. The six generations of family heads said that these sword spirits want to fight with the evil spirits, so let the evil spirits fight endlessly. These corpses that are about to be transformed are buried with the knife coffin, which is to use them as burial objects for the sword spirit. The sword spirit will suppress the corpse transformation of the dead corpse, and at the same time, these corpses can also relieve the needs and madness of the sword spirit, maintaining the status quo and balancing each other. Relying on this method, it has been exchanged for the peace of generations of future generations. ”

Wei Wuxian said, "Then why was the stone castle built later?" To bury the body in the wall? And you say it's eaten people? ”

Nie Huaisang said: "These questions are actually the same problem. It's kind of ...... I've eaten people. But that wasn't intentional!! Six generations of our family majored in the knife tomb, which was made into a very common tomb, and later generations followed his example. But more than fifty years ago, the grave was dug up by a gang of grave robbers. ”

Wei Wuxian let out an "oh" and said in his heart, "This is really Tai Sui's head. ”

Nie Huaisang said: "For such a big thing as building a tomb, no matter how cautious and low-key you are, there will be a few words. The gang of tomb robbers inquired in many ways and decided that there was a large tomb of the former dynasty on Xinglu Ridge, and they had already stepped on this point and came prepared. There are one or two talented people in this group of people, who actually asked them to identify the right direction, break through the maze, and find our family's knife tomb. A thief hole went down, entered the tomb, did this business, saw a lot of corpses, and was not afraid of the dead inside, but they rummaged around in it to find gold and jewelry, did not know how to avoid it, breathed next to the corpse, and they were all young and middle-aged men covered in yang. You must know that the corpses lying inside are all corpses that are about to be transformed!

"You can imagine what will happen. More than a dozen corpses were murdered on the spot.

But this group of tomb robbers were so bold and well-prepared that they actually told them to kill all the corpses that had been turned into walking corpses again. After a fierce battle, the ground was full of broken corpses, and then he realized the danger of this tomb and prepared to evacuate. It was at this time of evacuation that they were eaten! ”

"The number of corpses placed in the tomb is strictly controlled, one is not many, one is not many, and one is not many, which is just enough to maintain a balance with the sword spirit. And this group of tomb robbers went in and made a fuss, if it only caused the corpse mutation, it would be better to say, after they retreated, the sword spirit would exert its force to suppress the corpse mutation. But they smashed all the corpses into pieces, and there were more than a dozen fewer at once. In order to maintain sufficient mutual restraint between the murderous corpse and the sword spirit, the knife tomb ...... I had to ...... Seal them up, trap them alive in the tomb, and call the group to fill the void they have created......"

"The tomb was destroyed, and the head of the family at that time began to think of other ways. He re-selected a place on the road ridge, no longer built the tomb, and used it instead, and built a sacrificial knife hall, in order to prevent the tomb robbers from coming again, and hid the corpse in the wall to hide people's eyes.

"This sacrificial sword hall is also the rumored 'cannibal castle'. The group of tomb robbers came to Qinghe, disguised themselves as hunters, and did not come out again after entering the ridge, and there were no bones to be seen, so there were rumors that they were devoured by monsters in the ridge. Later, when the stone castle was built, and the new maze was not yet set up, someone accidentally passed by and saw it. Luckily, none of the stone castles had any doors, so he couldn't get in. But after going down the mountain, people said that there was a strange white castle on Xingluling Mountain, and the man-eating monster must live in it. Our family thought that it would be better to make the rumors bigger, so that no one would dare to approach that area, so they added fuel and vinegar and made a legend of a 'cannibal castle'. But it does eat people! ”

Nie Huaisang took out a hand towel and a white stone the size of a garlic head from his sleeve. A hand towel was used to wipe his sweat, and Bai Shi handed it over and said, "You two can take a look at this." ”

Wei Wuxian took the white stone, and when he looked closely, he found that there was a little white thing peeking out of the stone powder, which looked like ...... Human phalanges.

His heart was bright, Nie Huaisang wiped his sweat, and said, "That ...... Little Master Jin...... I don't know how to blow up a hole in the wall, he can also blow up such a thick wall, and he must have a lot of magic weapons on his body, not the point is not this...... I mean, the place he blew up happened to be the earliest sacrificial knife hall that our family built in Xingluling, and at that time, I didn't think of piling stone bricks on both sides, and then using soil in the middle to isolate the yang qi to prevent them from turning into corpses, but just poured the corpses directly into the mortar. So Jin Xiaogongzi blew up a hole, but he didn't notice that he actually blew up a white bone buried in the wall. Soon after he entered, he was sucked into the walls of the stone castle in place of the corpse he had blown up...... I regularly go to Xingluling to check it out. As soon as I went today, I saw this, I had just picked up a stone, and a dog came to bite me, alas...... The sacrificial sword hall is similar to our ancestral grave, I really ......"

The more Nie Huaisang spoke, the more sad he became, and said, "Ordinary monks, knowing that this is my family's territory, will not hunt at night in the Qinghe area at all. Who knows......"

Who knew that he was so unlucky, first there was an unruly Jin Ling who set his eyes on Xingluling, and then Lan Wei and the others came from the direction pointed by the ghost seeker. He said again: "Hanguang-kun, and this ...... As I said, you must not spread the word. Otherwise......"

Otherwise, the Qinghe Nie clan is now half-dead enough, and if this kind of thing comes out again, Nie Huaisang will become a sinner for the ages, and he will have no shame to face the ancestors and ancestors in the soil.

Wei Wuxian looked at Nie Huaisang and said in his heart, he has really worked hard all these years. No wonder Nie Huaisang would rather be a private laughing stock among the families than cultivate diligently, and he didn't dare to open the sword for the saber. If he succeeds in cultivation, he will become more and more irritable, and finally like his eldest brother and his ancestors, he will explode and die, and after his death, the saber will be a haunt in the world, causing the whole family to be unpeaceful, it is better to achieve nothing.

There is also no solution. The Nie family has come over like this since the first generation of ancestors, do you want future generations to deny the path and foundation opened up by the ancestors? The Xianmen family has its own strengths, just like the Gusu Lan clan's good sound law, the fierceness and strong lethality of the Qinghe Nie clan's sword spirit, it is precisely because it can stand out. If you turn your back on the teachings of our ancestors and start all over again, and find a new path, I don't know how many years it will take, and we will not be able to succeed. And Nie Huaisang didn't dare to betray the Nie family and change his way. Therefore, it can only be made as a pustule waste.

If he didn't be the head of the house, he would be much more comfortable than he is now, as he did when he was in the clouds and nowhere. But now that his eldest brother has passed away, no matter how much he can't do it, he can only shoulder the burden of the family and stumble forward.

After Nie Huaisang left with a thousand words and a thousand thoughts, Wei Wuxian was stunned for a while, and suddenly found that Lan Wangji had come over again, knelt down on one knee in front of him, rolled up his trouser leg seriously, and said busily: "Wait, come again?" ”
