Chapter 11
Chapter 11
"Immortal Governor, Sect Master Yunmengjiang is asking to see you." At the door of the bamboo room, a disciple reported.
"Ah? Sect Master Jiang is here again? Jin Ling won't be in trouble again!" Lan Jingyi exclaimed.
"Jingyi." Lan Sizhui reminded him to be more careful.
"Oh, sorry, Hanguang-jun, I was just too surprised."
Lan Wangji didn't pay much attention to Lan Jingyi's jumping-off temper, and directly ordered his disciples to invite him in.
After a while, Jiang Cheng arrived at the bamboo room, this time his expression was normal, he didn't seem to be in a hurry.
Jiang Cheng greeted Lan Wangji first, and then Lan Wangji gave up his seat.
Lan Jingyi saw Jiang Cheng calmly talking to his family, Hanguang-Jun, and felt fresh.
Lan Wangji asked Jiang Cheng why he came here.Jiang Cheng didn't go around in circles, and said directly: "Presumably the Immortal Governor has also heard about it. Jin Ling is about to succeed the Patriarch of the Jin family, and the grand ceremony is tentatively scheduled for three months. Jiang came this time because of a merciless request." .”
"Sect Master Jiang, please speak."
"Jiang came to the Lan family to study when he was young, and benefited a lot. However, Jin Ling was still young and never had the opportunity to study in Gusu. Now that he is about to take the position of head of the family, Jiang has the cheek to ask the immortal governor to allow Jin Ling Come to Lan's to study for a period of time, it will definitely benefit the child."
Jiang Cheng has worked hard for Jin Ling.This kid was raised by the Jin family and the Jiang family from a young age. Although his uncle was strict on the surface, poor Jin Ling, who had no father or mother, was also tight on the outside and loose on the inside.And Jin Guangyao, he was really kind to Jin Ling, and it was because he was so kind that Jin Ling's current character was created.When he succeeds as the head of the Jin family, he will no longer be able to do whatever he wants like now.He, Jiang Wanyin, looked arrogant and conceited, and that was after he had weighed all the pros and cons.But the current Jin Ling is still far from being able to do this.Studying in Lan's family can let him learn a lot, and it will give him an aura of being educated by Lan's family. If he can be personally taught by Lan Qiren or Lan's Shuangbi, he will have a teacher with him. In the name of a disciple, Jin Ling's future journey will be much easier.Another point is that during these three months, Jiang Cheng was afraid that something would happen to Jin Ling again.The Jin family said that they would prepare for the succession ceremony, the procedures were cumbersome, and they had to invite all the families of the immortal sect, so a three-month deadline was required. Jiang Cheng didn't care about Yingren, what he was afraid of was that during this period of time, there would still be people who would be unfavorable to Jin Ling.Therefore, he wanted to protect Jin Ling until the succession ceremony came.Although the Jiang family is not without this ability, no one thinks there are too many umbrellas.
It's not that Lan Wangji doesn't understand Jiang Cheng's thoughts, but now that the Lan family has a lot of family affairs, he would directly refuse if it was someone else, but after all, this child has a lot to do with Wei Wuxian.He always thinks more about anyone related to Wei Wuxian.
Then he thought of his brother.Originally, Lan Xichen had become much happier after returning from Lianhuawu.But something happened during the night hunt, and the state was not right after that. After two night hunts, I remembered the wrong location and was reprimanded and punished by my uncle.Now he said he was thinking about his past, but Lan Wangji felt that he locked himself up again, and he didn't know how long it would take to get out this time.
"Sect Master Jiang, would you like to follow me to ask brother's opinion?" Lan Wangji asked Jiang Cheng.
"Ask Mr. Zewu?"
"Well, now the Lan family has a lot of family affairs, and uncle's energy is limited. If brother agrees, Jin Ling can follow him to practice." Lan Wangji said.
"Zewu-jun personally taught him, so it's naturally desirable!" Jiang Cheng was very happy when he heard Lan Wangji say that.
"Sect Master Jiang comes with me." Lan Wangji stood up after finishing speaking.
Lan Jingyi and Lan Sizhui were eager to try, but Lan Wangji told them to finish what they had just done, so they had no choice but to stay in the bamboo room.
After two months, Jiang Cheng came outside the cold room again.Looking at the clean courtyard and the closed doors and windows, Jiang Cheng asked Lan Wangji, "Xiandu, is Zewu-jun retreating again recently?"
"Brother is contemplating behind closed doors." Lan Wangji paused for two breaths before replying.
"Thoughts? How is it possible?" Jiang Cheng stopped in his tracks.Mr. Zewu also needs to think about his past, who will believe it?
"Brother is also a human being, and as a human being, we will make mistakes."
"May I ask, what is the reason?"
"I misremembered the location of the night hunt." Lan Wangji replied truthfully.
"It's not a big mistake."
Lan Wangji didn't speak.
After thinking about it, Jiang Cheng understood that the only one who could punish Ze Wujun for thinking about it was old Mr. Lan Qiren. This old man was always strict with his two nephews. Compared to the three years when Lan Wang couldn't move, It's just a punishment for thinking about it, it's already very loose.
"Actually, the punishment has already ended, and it's my brother who doesn't want to come out."
It was rare for Lan Wangji to take the initiative to say a few more words to Jiang Cheng.He felt that it must have something to do with Jiang Cheng that his elder brother became more cheerful after returning from Lianhuawu.Now maybe I can ask Jiang Cheng to persuade my brother, "Sect Master Jiang, if it is convenient, talk to brother more." After speaking, Lan Wangji continued to walk towards the door of the cold room.
Only this time, after Lan Wangji had finished calling Lan Xichen, he and Jiang Cheng waited outside the door for a long time, but no one responded.
The two looked at each other, and went to push the door together with a rare tacit understanding.The door was not locked, and the two opened it easily.At this time, it was sunny outside, but the room was dark because no windows were opened.
Fortunately, the two of them saw Lan Xichen kneeling behind the desk at a glance.Jiang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and Lan Wangji also relaxed, but seeing that his brother didn't respond to the two of them's intrusion, Lan Wangji walked over to check the situation worriedly.
Lan Xichen just sat there, as if he had fallen into samadhi with his eyes open.
Jiang Cheng's eyes were sharp, and he caught a glimpse of a page on the desk. Although Lan Xichen's eyes were blank, the direction of his eyes was facing the paper. When he picked it up, he saw that there were only eight words written on it: " Brothers become sworn brothers, live and die together!"
Jiang Cheng handed the paper to Lan Wangji.
"Brother must be in a nightmare." Lan Wangji looked at these eight words and came to a conclusion. He never expected that his brother's knots would be so difficult to solve, and just these eight words could make him dazed.
"He was so depressed because of this matter before?" Jiang Cheng couldn't figure it out, how many people have taken this kind of oath seriously since ancient times.Nie Mingjue died violently, and Jin Guangyao deserved to die. Could it be that Lan Xichen will sacrifice his life for these eight words?He is not so pedantic.
Lan Wangji shook his head, "It's not just that." The entanglement between the three of them cannot be explained clearly in these eight words.
But now is not the time to talk about these things, you have to wake people up first.
People who have entered the nightmare are equivalent to being immersed in the inner demon and unable to extricate themselves.If it is called forcibly, it will affect the cultivation base at the slightest, and the spiritual consciousness will become chaotic at the worst, and it will become stupid and crazy. Fortunately, this matter is not difficult for Jiang Cheng. He knelt down, untied the silver bell around his waist, and faced Lan Xi. The minister shook.
The Jiang family's silver bell has the effect of clearing the mind and clearing the mind, which is suitable for those who have fallen into demons.Seeing that Lan Xichen regained his senses bit by bit, there was light in his eyes.Lan Wangji rolled up the paper in his hand and hid it in his wide sleeve.
"...Wangji? And Sect Master Jiang, when did you guys come?" Lan Xichen looked at the two people in front of him and asked.
"Just now." Lan Wangji replied.
"Really? I don't even know." Lan Xichen thought he was just wandering away for a while.
This situation is the most terrible.Because those who realize that they have entered the nightmare will actively try to break free, while those who are unaware may remain immersed in the nightmare until they are swallowed and die.
Lan Wangji and Jiang Cheng's hearts tightened.
"Sect Master Jiang came to Gusu to find me something?"
Lan Xichen didn't seem too concerned about his distraction, and asked about Jiang Cheng's reason for coming.
"I'm here to ask Xian Du to allow Jin Ling to go to Yunshen to listen." Jiang Cheng explained his reason for coming.
"Oh? Is there going to be an auditorium at home recently?" Lan Xichen raised his head and asked Lan Wangji.
"Never." Lan Wangji replied.
"Then?" Lan Xichen looked puzzled.
"I want you to take him with you." Jiang Cheng said to Lan Xichen very frankly, "I don't know if you have heard that A Ling will succeed the head of the Jin family in three months. But he doesn't know anything. , I don’t understand anything, I want you to help him and teach him how to be a patriarch, is that okay?” Jiang Cheng showed a soft look that he didn’t even realize, and begged the person in front of him.
"But Sect Master Jiang taught Ah Ling the same way, why should I..."
Lan Xichen was a little puzzled. Jiang Cheng had also been the head of a clan for more than ten years, and he had shouldered the burden of a family even when he was younger. How could someone else teach Jin Ling?He even said it in such a tone.
"I can't teach well." Jiang Cheng interrupted Lan Xichen's plan to refuse, "I can't teach well, you know. So, help me."
When a proud and conceited person puts away his sharp edge and speaks out his request gently, even in a low voice, it is really difficult for people to refuse.What's more, Lan Xichen is such a gentle person.
"If uncle allows..."
"Uncle will agree." At this time Lan Wangji said, "Uncle will definitely agree." Lan Wangji realized that he had to find something to divert his brother's attention, and he couldn't let him continue to indulge in the past, so he persuaded his uncle. He took the initiative to take over the matter.
"Since Wang Ji said that, then it's fine." Lan Xichen laughed.
"I'll pick up Jin Ling now!" Hearing Lan Xichen's promise, Jiang Cheng couldn't wait to say.
"I'll send Sect Master Jiang off." Seeing that Jiang Cheng was about to leave, Lan Wangji also spoke.
"Are you two reconciled?" Lan Xichen couldn't help being happy for the two of them.
But the more Lan Xichen looked normal, the more anxious the two people beside him became, and they didn't even answer this question.
Before leaving, Jiang Cheng handed the silver bell in his hand to Lan Xichen, "Jin Ling's apprentice ceremony will be presented later, this is my personal thank you gift."
"Isn't this belonging to Sect Master Jiang? How could I want it!" Lan Xichen refused to accept it.
Jiang Cheng put it directly on Lan Xichen's desk.
"Didn't you also say that this bell is exquisite? What's more, I never take back the things I give out. If you like it, you can wear it on your body. I will be happier."
Lan Xichen was slightly taken aback, "Okay, I'll take it."
After receiving an affirmative answer, Jiang Cheng nodded and left the cold room, and Lan Wangji followed after bidding farewell to his brother.
As soon as he walked out of Lan Xichen's courtyard, Lan Wangji called Jiang Cheng to a stop. He bowed and said to Jiang Cheng, "Thank you, Sect Master Jiang."
Jiang Cheng turned sideways without receiving it, and said directly:
"He can't go on like this. We have to do something."
Lan Wangji straightened up and nodded.
