Chapter 25 25
Wei Wuxian dragged Lan Wangji around among the flowers for a while, but felt that it wasn't interesting enough, so he went back to the banquet and ate something, and when the banquet was almost over, he dragged Lan Wangji to the back of Jinlin Terrace. run to the mountain.
In his previous life, Lan Xichen retreated, once when Lan Wangji came to participate in the Lanling seminar on his behalf, Wei Wuxian came to see Jin Ling together, and wandered to this place bored while Lan Wangji was holding the seminar. Jin Lin The back mountain of the platform is also full of wild Venus Snow Waves, which is more spectacular and beautiful than the carefully tended flower gardens on Jinlin Terrace.
Lan Wangji took Wei Wuxian by his arm and wandered among the flowers when he suddenly saw two figures.
It was Lan Xichen and Jin Guangyao.
Wei Wuxian hurriedly pulled Lan Wangji aside again, found a tree to hide and watched from a distance, and couldn't help but slander, Jinlin Terrace tonight is really lively, there are acquaintances everywhere you go.
Lan Wangji gave him a very sad look. He was patronizing and eavesdropping this night, which is really... very indecent.
Lan Xichen was walking slowly among the flowers with his flute behind his back. It was probably too late. Jin Guangyao beside him had already taken off his usual hat and tied his hair in a simple bun. Behind the shoulders, a little bit of cinnabar between the brows fainted a little due to the busy day, and Jin Guangyao's fairer complexion no longer looked magnificent.
Jin Guangyao looked up at Lan Xichen, and said softly, "Thank you, Second Brother, for being willing to accompany me for a walk at such a late hour."
Lan Xichen smiled lightly, "Ayao don't have to worry about it. Second brother... I'm also very happy to walk with Ayao."
Jin Guangyao smiled sideways, and asked, "Second brother, do you like this golden star snow wave?"
Lan Xichen glanced at the peonies all over the mountains and plains, "Venus snow waves, cold and heat resistant, long flowering period, suitable for both ornamental and medicinal purposes, peonies are the king of flowers, really good."
Jin Guangyao smiled wistfully, "Yes, Jin Xing Xuelang is indeed a good variety."
Lan Xichen tilted his head and said, "Ayao doesn't like it?"
Jin Guangyao shook his head slowly, "It's not that I don't like it, it's just that the peonies are too abundant, and Ayao still prefers the magnolia flower that I don't know where Yun Shen is."
Lan Xichen stopped in his tracks, looked down at Jin Guangyao, "Ah Yao, the mountain gate of Yun Shen is always open for you."
Jin Guangyao still shook his head, "Second Brother, it's different."
At that time, he was a descendant of the Lan family, but now he is the second son of the Jin family who is not liked. He is subject to many restrictions, so how should he deal with himself.
What's more, my feelings for my second brother are... really hard to describe.
The hug in Yunshen that day seemed to break a wall, but the wall fell down, but he didn't dare to take a step forward. Now they are sworn brothers, but this relationship is not as good as people say. It's ugly, if his feelings for the second brother are really known, I'm afraid the words of outsiders will only be more unpleasant.
Jin Guangyao found that he had trapped himself in a strange deadlock.
It seems that they can only be sworn brothers. This is not the best, but it is not the worst either.
To him, Lan Xichen was the noble son of Qiongzhiyuye, the pearl of the world, the legitimate head of the Lan family, with the blood of dragon and the marrow of phoenix, spotless.
There are some things that he dare not and cannot.
Lan Xichen didn't continue this topic, but just asked, "Ayao, do you know why I proposed to Brother to become sworn brothers with you?"
Jin Guangyao was stunned, "Second brother is probably afraid that I will be bullied at Jinlin Terrace."
"Yes." Lan Xichen nodded, "But now it seems that this identity can't protect A-Yao well."
Jin Guangyao came to his senses immediately, and hurriedly said, "Second Brother doesn't need to take what Sect Master Lin said today, and Ah Yao doesn't care either."
Lan Xichen silently sighed, "Ayao, I don't understand what Second Brother means."
Jin Guangyao was puzzled for a moment, and looked at Lan Xichen puzzled, but Lan Xichen stopped talking, just picked a small wild flower from a peony bush, pinned it to Jin Guangyao's ear, and said with a smile: "The peony is indeed Taisheng, this small mountain wild flower is also elegant."
Following his movements, Jin Guangyao thought of Lan Xichen, who had also pinned his hair behind his ears during the Sun Shooting Crusade, with the same gentle movements.
Time has changed and the world has changed, but it is so impermanent.
Wei WuXian, who was on the side, looked a little anxious, and said to himself in a low voice: "Brothers who are sworn brothers can't do it, but Madam Lan's suzerain can do it!"
Lan Wangji sighed helplessly, "Wei Ying."
Wei Wuxian yelled softly, "Lan Zhan! Don't you think that big brother already likes Jin Guangyao? Jin Guangyao also likes big brother, alas, why are they so ignorant!"
Lan Wangji smoothed Wei Wuxian's hair, and couldn't help but tease, "You were similar back then."
Wei Wuxian blushed, he was like a piece of wood back then, he didn't feel the deep affection for Lan Wangji, he couldn't help tugging at Lan Wangji's wide sleeve, "Hey, second brother, That's not to blame you for not telling me straight back then, if you had told me straight, I would have been enlightened immediately, maybe opened my legs immediately!"
Lan Wangji silently gave him a "Really?" look.
Then he looked at the two people in the flowers, "Brother, make up your own plans."
Wei Wuxian curled his lips, noncommittal.
Lan Wangji looked at his elder brother, they grew up together, they have the same blood in their bodies, the same attachments engraved on them, Lan Wangji is restrained, Lan Xichen is warm and gentle, but there is no difference in their bones, once recognized , there will be no change.
But he is also timid, not daring to disturb his sweetheart, for fear of disturbing others with his own thoughts, if Wei Wuxian hadn't died in his previous life, Lan Wangji might have watched him silently in the corner all his life, and would not confide his love half point.If Wei Wuxian hadn't been reborn, if Wei Wuxian hadn't opened his mouth, even after 13 years of unforgettable years, he would have kept this heart in his heart and guarded the one he loves in his own way.
Brother and him are the same.
Whether it's pulling Nie Mingjue to become a sworn brother, or covering up quietly at the banquet, they are all using their own methods to protect Jin Guangyao.
But he still refused to speak.
After two lifetimes, Lan Wangji can express his love to Wei Wuxian without any obstacles, but his elder brother can't. Maybe, he should find a time to talk to his elder brother.
Wei WuXian watched the two walk back without speaking, and patted his sleeves, "Lan Zhan, let's go too, there will be a fierce battle tomorrow."
Lan Wangji nodded, "Yes."
Tomorrow, there is another Hongmen banquet to attend.
On the evening of the second day, the Patriarchs of the Xiaomen faction all went back, leaving behind some Patriarchs of the big families to hold talks.
Jin Guangshan smirked on the stage and said a few polite words, then turned his head to Wei Wuxian who was sitting next to Jiang Cheng, and asked with a smile, "Young Master Wei, how are you feeling?"
Wei Wuxian felt disgusted at him, but still stood up and bowed, "Sect Master Lao Jin is concerned, Wei Ying is fine."
Jin Guangshan nodded reassuringly, "Hehe, Mr. Wei is an auspicious person. By the way, Mr. Wei hasn't taken a name yet, does he have a title he likes? It just so happens that all the masters are here today."
Wei Wuxian stroked his chin and thought, "Well...I haven't thought about it yet."
Jin Guangshan smiled, "Oh, it's not urgent, but Jin has something he wants to ask Young Master Wei."
Wei Wuxian thought to himself, here we come.
"The battle ends without night, and countless corpses turn into corpses. Later, Jin asked several monks who had not left the battlefield at that time, and they all said that they saw Mr. Wei blowing a resentful flute to fight against corpses," Jin Guangshan moved down. Looking at Wei Wuxian's waist, "It seems to be the flute brought by Mr. Wei today. Playing the flute to defend the corpse, this is an evil heretic. I don't know how Mr. Wei will explain it?"
Wei Wuxian smiled indifferently, looked at the people with different thoughts in the hall, didn't want to deny it, and there was no point in denying it, and said straightforwardly: "What explanation does Sect Master Jin want to hear? Although I practice the way of ghosts, , but did not harm anyone, but ended the whole expedition to shoot the sun, do I need to explain anything?"
Jin Guangshan sneered, "The crooked way of evil sects harms the body and nature, and the lethal power of Mr. Wei's ghost way makes all the immortal sects fear."
Wei Wuxian thought it was very funny, so he curled the corners of his mouth and said sarcastically, "Afraid of everyone?"
Turning to look at Jiang Cheng beside him, "Jiang Cheng, are you afraid?"
Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes at him, "Are you daydreaming, would I be afraid of you?"
Wei Wuxian smiled and looked at Lan Xichen, "Mr. Zewu, are you afraid?"
Lan Xichen took a sip of tea leisurely, "Young Master Wei is kind-hearted. Although he is very Taoist, he is righteous. Naturally, there is no need to worry."
Finally, he looked at Nie Mingjue again, "What does Master Chi Feng think?"
Nie Mingjue glanced at Jin Guangshan on the stage indifferently, "I didn't have much contact with Mr. Wei during the shooting of the sun, but my younger brother and Mr. Wei were classmates in the past, and they always praised Mr. Wei for his integrity and clean eyes. Presumably, even with the blessings of ghosts, he will not do evil indiscriminately."
Wei Wuxian clasped his arms around his chest, and looked at Jin Guangshan leisurely, "Sect Master Jin, it seems that no one is afraid."
Jin Guangshan glanced at several people in embarrassment, and then said: "The Jiang family is Mr. Wei's family, so naturally Mr. Wei will not cause trouble, and the second son of the Lan family is Mr. Wei's Taoist partner, so the Lan family naturally does not need to worry. Brother Nie is upright and powerful, so he is naturally not afraid. But the patriarchs of those small sects are all worried."
After finishing speaking, some guest officials who were attached to the Jin family agreed one after another.
Wei Wuxian wasn't annoyed either, and waited until his voice had subsided before he said, "What does Sect Master Jin think?"
Jin Guangshan thought that he wanted to understand the compromise, "Well, Mr. Wei will hand over the ghost flute first, and put it in special custody, and then make an oath that he will never use the ghost way again. How does Mr. Wei think?"
Wei Wuxian refused with a smile, "Not good."
Jin Guangshan smiled maliciously, "Young Master Wei, this makes things difficult for Jin. As Jin assumes the post of Immortal Governor, he naturally has to consider for the immortal family. Since Young Master Wei doesn't cooperate, then Jin A certain can only be strong."
Jin Zixuan couldn't help frowning, and glanced at his father, his face was full of greed.
He secretly sighed in his heart, fortunately Jiang Yanli is not here today, otherwise he would hate himself even more.
After Jin Guangshan finished speaking, he winked at a few high-level guest monks, who were about to go up with their swords, but Jin Guangyao at the side didn't even have time to stop him.
However, Wei Wuxian didn't hide, he didn't even move half a step, and the three poisons were already half-unsheathed in front of Wei Wuxian.
Jiang Cheng looked at Jin Guangshan with a very gloomy expression, "Sovereign Jin, do you really think my Jiang family is just a display?"
Among the four major families, although Nie Mingjue is upright, he doesn't get angry easily. On the contrary, the young Jiang family head has a very bad temper and is very difficult to provoke.
Jin Guangshan thought about it for a while, the matter has come to this point, he must give Wei Wuxian a little color, so as to frighten Jiang Lan and his family. His position as the Immortal Governor was picked up cheaply, and there are not a few people who are not convinced. This is the first reason to establish prestige.
What's more, the news that he swept away thousands of troops with the ghost flute has slowly spread among the hundreds of families in the immortal sect. If he can get the flute, it will definitely make the hundreds of families even more jealous. He has been in a coma for several months, so he probably wouldn't use it rashly, no matter how talented he is, he is just a young man who hasn't reached the crown yet.
No matter how much Jiang Wanyin protects him, he is the head of the family after all, so he won't be an enemy of the Jin family for Wei Wuxian, the son of a servant, and Lan Xichen has always valued peace in his actions, even though Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian married If they are married, they probably won't really be hostile to the Jin family.
Jin Guangshan said slowly, "Sect Master Jiang, why bother to get angry over the son of a servant."
After finishing speaking, he raised his eyes at those guests, indicating to continue.
"Who dares."
The Three Poisons were still lying in front of Wei Wuxian without moving at all, and now they added a fully unsheathed Bichen.
Lan Wangji stood aside, holding on to the sword, and cast a cold glance at the monks, "Go one step further, and stand under Bichen's sword."
The few monks were also well-known scholars carefully selected by Jin Guangshan, and their cultivation bases were not low, but at the moment when they were coldly glanced at by Lan Wangji, they flinched slightly.
Lan Xichen was drinking tea with a smile on the side, and said in a long tone, "Sect Master Jin, why bother to make such a big move, Wu Xian is about to enter my cloud, does it mean that Sect Master Jin can't trust the Lan family?"
Jiang Cheng also snorted coldly, "Wei Wuxian is my elder brother, my father's chief disciple, and Sect Master Jin's behavior today, is it because he is dissatisfied with me, Yunmengjiang Sect?"
Jin Guangyao shook his head silently, he had already given up hope on this greedy father, but he was the second son of the Jin family after all, so he could only persuade: "Father, let them put away their swords first."
Jin Guangshan glanced at Jin Guangyao unkindly, ignoring what he said, "Okay, the oath can not be made, but the ghost flute is harmful to people. As the immortal governor, I must take care of this matter. You must hand over the flute today."
After finishing speaking, he glanced at several monks, "What are you still doing?"
Several monks looked at each other, and finally one of them mustered up the courage to stab Wei Wuxian with his sword.
The blue sword light flashed, and in the blink of an eye, the monk's right foot was cut off by Bichen, and the blood spurted out, splashing all over the gold silk embroidered carpet in front of him. The cultivator immediately fell to the ground, clutching his broken leg and screaming, Jin Guangyao couldn't stand it anymore, so he ordered someone to take him down.
And the figure of the white-clothed fairy did not move at all, and Bichen was still in the posture in front of Wei Wuxian, not even a trace of blood.
Lan Wangji glanced at Jin Guangshan, and said without a hint of enthusiasm in his tone: "Bichen is waiting here, you can come and try."
Wei Wuxian seemed to have seen enough of the show, stretched out two fingers to press down Sandu and Bichen, and said with a smile: "Oh, Jin Zongzhu, your beautiful carpet here is so ugly when it sees blood. Mr. Jia Hanguang has always been one-sided, and Sect Master Jiang is notoriously bad-tempered, so why bother?
"As for the flute, I will definitely not hand it over. The name of this flute is Chen Qing, and it is a token of love between me and Hanguang-jun. The word Chen Qing was engraved by Hanguang-jun himself."
After finishing speaking, he pulled out the petition and played with it in his hand.
Then he said loudly to everyone: "Didn't Sect Master Jin ask me for my title just now? I was brought home from Yiling by Old Sect Master Jiang. I think the name Yiling Patriarch is very good. Or, to put it another way,"
After a pause, he looked at Jin Guangshan, raised the corners of his mouth, and said forcefully:
"—Patriarch of Demonic Dao."
