Chapter 23
Woods on the outskirts of Qinghe
As soon as he opened his eyes, there was severe pain that swept across his body. Lan Jingyi looked around with a pale face, and after confirming that Lan Sizhui was not there, he took the lead in putting Lan Sizhui's coat on himself into the Qiankun bag , and then rolled over, clenching his teeth without making a sound, rolling over and over on the ground in pain.
After taking out the Wangji piano, Lan Wangji, who was sitting cross-legged beside him, had cold eyes, plucked the strings with his fingertips, and said in a clear and cold voice, "Calm down and concentrate."
Wei Wuxian twirled the bamboo flute, frowning slightly as he watched Lan Jingyi, who was writhing in pain, the blood color on his face gradually diminishing, feeling the more and more strange fluctuations of spiritual power in the air, when Lan Jingyi was about to cry out in pain , finally turned the bamboo flute, raised the bamboo flute and blew out the sound of Lan Wangji's piano, the sound of the piano and the flute intertwined into a tune, the sound was quiet and long, but the tune An Ran had a hint of exotic flavor, it seemed to appease and suppress.
Lan Jingyi curled up into a ball and gasped for cool air silently. Under the comfort of the music, the severe bone-shattering pain began to ease little by little. With the cold sweat on his forehead and back dissipating little by little, it was almost as long as a cup of tea. After a while, Lan Jingyi regained his senses, but he still collapsed on the ground, unable to move, his face pale as paper, panting heavily.
Putting down the bamboo flute, Wei Wuxian squatted down solemnly and half-supported Lan Jingyi, raised his right hand, a red awn glowed from the tip of his index finger, and lightly touched the center of Lan Jingyi's brow with the fingertip, and the red light submerged into Lan Jingyi Yi's forehead and Lan Jingyi's cheeks recovered a little bit of blood, "Lan Zhan, what happened to Jingyi? Why did Jingyi suddenly leave his body last night?"
Among this group of juniors from the Lan family, the two juniors he admires and loves the most are Lan Sizhui and Lan Jingyi, especially after getting along for this period of time, Wei Wuxian admires and loves the two juniors even more.
But last night, Lan Jingyi's soul suddenly left his body. If he and Lan Zhan hadn't played together to bring back Lan Jingyi's soul, the consequences would have been disastrous. The two went to fetch water from the stream, and after dismissing the two children, it took the two of them a stick of incense to wake up Lan Jingyi.
Leaving aside the work and rest schedules of the Lan family that were etched into their bones long ago, based on the yelling posture of him and Lan Zhan, I am afraid that Lan Jingyi is the only one in the world who wakes up after screaming for a stick of incense. up.
And Lan Zhan has a very high level of cultivation, and as the No. 1 ghost, although his spiritual power is low after rebirth, his ability to attract souls is not comparable to anyone.However, he and Lan Zhan could only pull back Lan Jingyi's soul with their joint efforts, and there was no guarantee that this kind of thing would happen again... Heh, don't tell him that Lan Jingyi is fine.
Lan Wangji raised his hand to hold down the strings, and paused for a moment. There was nothing unusual on his calm face, only his cold light-colored eyes leaked some unclear emotions, and then he looked at Lan Jing. Yi, without a word.
Wei Wuxian followed Lan Zhan's gaze to Lan Jingyi in his arms, raised his eyebrows, "Say."
Wei Wuxian knows Lan Zhan well, even though Lan Jingyi is Lan Zhan's descendant, Lan Zhan will still respect Lan Jingyi's privacy, so his old-fashioned will not easily tell him about Lan Jingyi, And if he wanted to know the truth, he could only get it from Lan Jingyi.
Lan Jingyi secretly glanced at Wei Wuxian, who was smiling too "kindly", shivered, because she couldn't lift half of her strength, so she had to collapse into Wei Wuxian's arms and smiled pitifully, pretending to be Silly, "What are you talking about?"
Gusu Lan's family rules forbid lying, but they never said that you can't go around, so I don't count as violating the family rules.Well, definitely not!
Wei Wuxian smiled brightly, and said in a gentle tone, "Jingyi, you said that if I moved my finger up slightly, it would be an easy thing to touch your forehead?"
Lan Jingyi: "..."
No, Senior Wei, you probably don't know that our Gusu Lan family's family rules have changed, right?
Lan Jingyi glanced quietly at Hanguang-Jun who had no intention of coming to save him from Wei Wuxian, the great demon king, then turned around, pouted his mouth in aggrieved manner, and hesitated to speak.
Wei Wuxian patiently supported Lan Jingyi to stand up, and patted the dust on the school uniform for Lan Jingyi every now and then, just like an old woman who finally waited for the wanderer to return home , Smiling so amiably and kindly.
Lan Jingyi got goosebumps all over her body, and he couldn't bear it any longer. He finally gritted his teeth and decided not to be unhappy by himself, so he called Wei Wuxian softly but clearly, "...Daddy?"
Wei Wuxian: "..."
Lan Wangji: "..."
Lan Sizhui and Jin Ling who came back in a hurry: "..."
Ouyang Zizhen, who rushed over after Shunli and Lan Sizhuo Jin Ling came together: "..."
For unknown reasons, the three juniors who only heard "Daddy": "???!!!"
Who are we? Where are we? What are we doing?How did Lan Jingyi suddenly recognize her father? ?
The consequences of this "Daddy" were chaotic. During the journey towards Qinghe, Wei Wuxian, who was walking in front, would laugh after taking two or three steps, and stop and hug him after taking four or five steps. It takes half a stick of incense to laugh with my belly.Lan Wangji, who was shoulder to shoulder with Wei Wuxian, walked with his hands behind his back, his face was cold and upright, and occasionally raised his hand to help Wei Wuxian, who was almost out of breath from laughing, so as not to let Wei Wuxian laugh too much go.
Behind them, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji almost forced the fourth junior to ride a horse, and fell into a weird silence.
Leaving aside Lan Sizhui, Lan Jingyi and Jin Ling, the three young men, Ouyang Zizhen was in a strange state of daze when he saw Wei Wuxian for the first time.
how to say?
Ouyang Zi was really fortunate to have met this great man in the dream world. Different from the ungrateful, wolf-hearted, dog-lung, murderous, unblinking, planing people's graves, the frenzied, inhuman, demons and heretics, the horror image of Wei Wuxian in his youth was clearly a grown-up man. He was just a very handsome and good-looking boy who loved to laugh and play and love to play, and now Wei Wuxian appeared in front of him, although his appearance had not changed, but he still lacked a little bit of the chic and wanton of his youth, just like a The jade that has been polished, although perfect, lacks the sharp brilliance it had at the beginning.
Ouyang Zi really couldn't apply those words to Wei Wuxian at all.
To be precise, Ouyang Zizhen, who watched the time when Wei Wuxian and the others were in Yunshen, couldn't look at these famous elders with the same eyes as before.
But Ouyang Zi is sincerely sensitive, seeing the smiling Wei Wuxian, and then recalling the young man in white who was so energetic and disturbed the cloud depths, his heart was shivering, and he was so sad that he couldn't speak .
When Ouyang Zi really slowed down, Lan Sizhui and the three young boys glanced at Lan Jingyi who was precariously riding on the horse, and saw Lan Jingyi's face, "I don't know what I don't know what I really am." They don’t even know,” Jin Ling and Ouyang Zizhen gave up their idea of asking Lan Jingyi directly, and instead signaled Lan Si to catch up with their eyes.
Lan Sizhui hesitated, but still worried about overcoming the family rule of "not to inquire about other people's secrets", he pulled the rein of the horse and moved to Lan Jingyi's side. Before he could speak, Lan Jingyi had recovered and turned his head. Smiling at Lan Sizhui, "Sizhui, I heard from the elders in the clan that Qinghe's lily soup and rose cake are the best delicacies, how about I go and find them for you after entering the city?"
Lan Sizhui pursed his lips, bent his eyebrows and smiled slightly, "Okay, I'll go with you."
Jin Ling's eyebrows twitched, and he said angrily, "What to eat, we have something to do when we go to Qinghe, you still want to eat."
"What's the matter? Is our eating in the way of your business?" Lan Jingyi snapped back, "It's hard to go down the mountain once, and if you don't try the local delicacies, wouldn't it be a waste of time? Besides, it's because I used my I bought it for Si Zhui to eat with the monthly money, and I don’t need your money, Missy, why are you objecting!"
Jin Ling, who was slapped all over the face by Lan Jingyi just after he said a word, managed to get angry, shouted "Lan Jingyi!", and then drew Suihua's sword and stabbed Lan Jingyi.
Lan Jingyi jumped up, flew cleanly to the woods not far away and stood firm, turned around, absurdly got out of the sheath, and raised his hand to hit Suihua who was flying behind, Suihua was picked upwards Flying in the air, and then being controlled by Jin Ling to turn backwards, he rushed over like a windmill.At the same time, Ouyang Zi unsheathed the spirit sword in his true hand, and a sword energy directly attacked Lan Jingyi, barely brushed Lan Jingyi's shoulder, and disappeared into the woods behind Lan Jingyi.
Lan Jingyi jumped onto the absurd sword with a little tiptoe to control the sword, and Xinglan rushed over from where he was originally standing, passed through the bushes, and pierced through the masked black with a scream. The shoulder blades of the clothed man led him to the tree trunk, and it was useless to let him struggle.
Lan Jingyi controlled the absurdity, "Three people? Doesn't this underestimate us?!"
"You can't wait for other people to attack us!"
Jin Lingfei, who cooperated tacitly with Lan Jingyi, got off his horse and said again in distaste. Ouyang Zizhen also got off his horse and walked over. After splitting the bushes that blocked his view, he saw Sui Hua passing through the arm of a man in black and throwing him away. He was crucified to the ground, and the man in black who had been hit on his right wrist by his sword energy was holding his bloody wrist and staring at them resentfully.
Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji, who had already noticed that someone was following them, walked back. Wei Wuxian folded his hands on the back of his head and looked thoughtfully at the three men in black, "Lan Zhan, it's another group of people. " His eyes moved to Ouyang Zizhen, "These three people should have followed you to Qinghe."
"Me?" Ouyang Zi, who suddenly became the target person, was stunned instantly, and said in surprise, "I didn't realize they were following me!"
Lan Sizhui, Lan Jingyi and Jin Ling looked at each other, obviously a little surprised, they always thought that the target of these three people was them, but they didn't expect it to be Ouyang Zizhen who they met halfway!
Wei Wuxian reminded with a smile: "Jin Ling, Si Zhui, Jing Yi, look at the similarities between little Zizhen and these three men in black."
Jin Ling suddenly turned his head and glared at Wei Wuxian, "Why are you called Lan Sizhui? Lan Jingyi and Ouyang Zizhen both call me by name directly, and call me by name and surname!"
Lan Jingyi immediately laughed, "Miss, are you jealous?"
Lan Sizhui hastily tugged on Lan Jingyi's sleeve, "Jingyi!"
Jin Ling blushed, "Who's jealous!" As he spoke, he raised his scabbard and was about to kill Lan Jingyi, but Lan Sizhui and Ouyang Zi were really standing between them, with a terrible headache, "Don't you two?" It's messed up."
Wei WuXian blinked, the circles of his eyes turned red, he blinked quickly to suppress his tears, returned to normal, and teased, "Is Xiao Jinling jealous?"
"Don't call me 'Little Jinling'!"
"Then..." Wei Wuxian smiled, his voice trembling a little that was not easy to be noticed by others, only Lan Wangji heard the sound and looked at him, "I heard that your word is 'Ru Lan', I call you How about you 'Ru Lan'?"
"……up to you."
Before the words were finished, Jin Ling, who had his back to Wei Wuxian, bit his lower lip, almost crying.
"Ru Lan" is indeed Jin Ling's character. He once disliked the word "Ru Lan" as being too feminine. He told his uncle several times, but every time his uncle used "If you dare to change the word, I will kill you." Broken leg!" This sentence stopped him, and his uncle obviously forbade him to change words, but he also refused to call his words, he never knew the reason, until he met his mother in the dream world, he didn't know the reason—— —
The word "Ru Lan" was chosen for him by his uncle.
So my uncle refused to call this word.
So my uncle refused to change the word.
