【Xue Xiao】Desolate City Crossing

Xue Yang rubbed his sore forearm on his body, angry and wronged: "Hey! Why are you experimenting with me again?!"

Xiao Xingchen sighed: "Yesterday's rescued soul was killed by you again. That person is only [-] years old, has a wife and a child, and the child is underage."

Xue Yang couldn't remember which one it was.

"Isn't it supernatural? I hope he won't meet someone like me again in his next reincarnation."

The faces of the people immersed in grief did not ease up.

Xue Yang had no choice but to stretch out his arms in front of Xiao Xingchen.

"Well, here it is for you."

"What?" Xiao Xingchen was puzzled.

"If you can relieve your anger, stick a few more talismans!"

Xiao Xingchen was speechless, looking at Xue Yang, more and more confused.The murderous demon Xue Yang he found in the memory of the undead with the soul-searching technique was completely different from the Xue Yang in front of him.

The one in front of me really looks like Alan.

After a long silence, Xue Yang saw that he had no intention of continuing to stick the talisman, so he put down his arm angrily.

"It's not that the Taoist priest's spells are useless, but that the Taoist priest looks down on me too much. How many ghosts like me can there be in the world? Moreover, the charms and spells must be used together in order to fully exert their effects. You only Stickers, but no spells, otherwise, it will definitely make my spiritual body loose for a while and lose my mobility..."

At this point, Xue Yang also shut up.

How could Xiao Xingchen not know the simple usage of the paper talisman?It was nothing more than anger at his killing behavior in the past, and he couldn't do anything ruthless, so he had to stick a paper amulet to make him feel pain and talk about punishment.

Xiao Xingchen did not speak, lowered his eyes and drew another talisman, put away the five paper talismans together, opened the book and read under the tree, his clear eyes were full of lingering depression.

Xue Yang knew that he couldn't solve this kind of depression, and would only make it worse. He curled his lips and continued to carve the wooden sword sullenly.

Tired of reading, Xiao Xingchen spoke again.

"When we were in Yicheng, why haven't we heard of any Xuanmen pawnshop?"

Xiao Xingchen took the initiative to ask questions, and Xue Yang became very interested, and he took over the topic and talked freely.

"First, Taoist pawnshops only became popular after Wei Wuxian, the ancestor of Yiling, became famous, because he likes to make these small inventions. He was independent and poor at the beginning, so he had to sell these gadgets. This kind of behavior At the beginning, it was despised by all the families of Xianmen. After a few years, everyone saw that people really had this kind of demand, and then they gradually accepted it, and it became popular; People with a discerning eye to estimate the value of spiritual power must maintain a good reputation, otherwise people will not be able to tell the truth from the fake. Who is willing to spend money on a piece of paper or a piece of iron? Therefore, a small place like Yicheng will not be able to do so in ten or twenty years. There will be no such shop."

Xiao Xingchen was very surprised when he listened, and asked many questions, especially about Wei Wuxian. After all, Wei Wuxian was still his nephew. Zichen also talked about this person's deeds. What Chen said was far less fascinating than what Xue Yang said, making him enjoy it like listening to a book.

Seeing that he loves to listen, Xue Yang became more and more elated when he spoke. He has a good eloquence, and Wei Wuxian's deeds are full of twists and turns. After he adds fuel and vinegar, it becomes even more exciting, and Xiao Xingchen forgets the time when he hears it.

Hearing that Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji surrendered Xuanwu together at the age of 17, Xiao Xingchen praised "really a young hero". ; Hearing that Wei Wuxian insisted on rescuing the old and the young of the Wen family despite all differences, Xiao Xingchen also praised "the tenacity of heart is commendable".

Xiao Xingchen continued to praise him all the way, the more he listened to this nephew, the more he liked it, the interest was high, Xue Yang suddenly shut up.

"Why don't you talk?"

Xue Yang stroked the half-carved Shuanghua wooden sword in his hand, feeling uneasy.

After hearing too much Xiao Xingchen's praise of Wei Wuxian, he became jealous and didn't want to say any more.Xue Yang originally wanted to discredit Wei Wuxian, but this person is one of the few people in the world that he has a good impression of. Although Xue Yang died at the hands of Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji in the end, Xue Yang still treats Wei Wuxian Can't hate it.

He was able to achieve a little success in sorcery and cunning, and the manuscripts left by Wei Wuxian are indispensable. When he saw those manuscripts for the first time, he felt from the bottom of his heart that Wei Wuxian, who could create deceptions, really deserved it. He is an interesting and capable person.

Not wanting Xiao Xingchen to continue praising Wei Wuxian, and not wanting to smear this person for no reason, Xue Yang changed his mind.

"Master Daoist, do you know who Wei Wuxian's Taoist partner is now?"

The life of Wei Wuxian, the ancestor of Yiling, has experienced the extreme pursuit of hundreds of immortal sects, and the harsh crusade against hundreds of immortal sects. It has been ups and downs and bizarre enough, but there is something even more bizarre, that is, he is like this. A rebellious person who is both evil and righteous, unexpectedly abducted Lan Wangji, who was regarded as a model of righteousness by the famous and upright Gusu Lan Sect Zhongxian family, and formed a same-sex Taoist couple.

Rumors in the world have been raging for a long time, and Xue Yang has always been good at finding out the news, so he pieced together the stories between the two of them and told Xiao Xingchen.

After speaking, he observed Xiao Xingchen's expression carefully.

Fortunately, Xiao Xingchen didn't have a trace of disdain, and said calmly: "The road in the world is difficult to walk, if someone is willing to go hand in hand, it is really lucky. Mr. Wei and that Hanguang Lord are together, it is really a good thing to be blessed."

In fact, Xiao Xingchen was born outside the secular world since he was a child, and he was not restricted by many secular rules, let alone infected by some stubborn ideas. He always believed that as long as he didn't hinder others, he could follow his own heart in everything. It is the best, and it is precisely because of this that he appreciates Wei Wuxian even more.

Xue Yang was surprised to hear him express such a point of view.

"I thought the Taoist priest must be a rigid and pedantic person who abides by etiquette at least in this respect, but I didn't expect him to be so enlightened."

One person and one ghost sat beside the quiet ancient road, under the light of the jumping fire, both faces were slightly flushed, and at the same time, they remembered a confession buried in the past:

"If the Taoist priest can accompany me, I would like to never marry a wife for the rest of my life."

The person who said this at the time didn't know the truth or not, but the person who heard it felt warm and rippling in his heart. Now that he thought about it, there was only continuous pain, Xiao Xingchen's heart beat a few times, and he pretended to be sleepy and said: " It's late, it's time to rest. Let's talk tomorrow."

Xue Yang naturally didn't say enough, but he was very happy when he heard the words "Let's talk tomorrow". Without thinking too much, he cheerfully watched Xiao Xingchen go to sleep.On the second day, Xiao Xingchen deliberately diverted the topic to other places, and no one mentioned the momentary throbbing beside the ancient road the day before.

They left Xifu Town and walked all the way to the southwest without a Yujian. It has been almost a month since they stopped and stopped to reach the boundary of Lanling. The wooden sword in Xue Yang's hand was finally carved, and this time he cherished it even more. No, it will only be taken out when Zishi uses the Qingfeng swordsmanship to resist the backlash.

Xiao Xingchen saves a vengeful spirit every day, hunts at night to check whether the surroundings are peaceful, and then reads the scrolls left by the old man, cleans up, practices swords, and listens to Xue Yang's gossip.

Lanling is the site of the Immortal Jin family. Although the owner is young and only inherited the family business about two years ago, with the explicit and secret support of the Gusu Lan family and the Yunmeng Jiang family, Lanling City has maintained its prosperity as before.

As soon as he entered the city, Xue Yang urged Xiao Xingchen to go to the Taoist pawn shop to exchange money, so that he could take him to the best restaurant in Lanling to have a big meal.

In a big city like Lanling, there is only one Xuanmen pawn shop, Xiao Xingchen found the direction after a little inquiry, and one person and one ghost walked in front of a magnificent shop, but Xue Yang stopped across the street.

"Daoist, most of the things here are used to drive away ghosts and evil spirits, so I won't go there and wait for you outside."

Xiao Xingchen also felt that the aura around the store was strong and pure, restraining evil things, he nodded slightly, and went straight into the store.

The inside of the store is even more magnificent than the outside. The high walls on the left and right are covered with fairy weapons. Behind a row of counters in the middle, wooden shelves are arranged in an orderly manner to the rear. There are also various treasures on them, including gold, wood and precious stones. .

Xiao Xingchen sighed, no wonder he could feel the strong aura outside the hall.

He explained his purpose to the boy in front of the counter, and the boy took him into a small room hidden behind the wooden shelf, poured tea and asked him to wait a while, and not long after, he led another person into the small room.

The man was a middle-aged man. When he entered the door, his abdomen protruded before he showed his face. He was white and stocky, and he was dressed in gold and silver. He looked at the white-clothed young man who was waiting for him unobtrusively. Although he felt that the young man was handsome and handsome, but seeing his ordinary sword and hearing that he was a man who came to exchange amulets for money, he looked down on him a bit. , I thought he was just a down and out son, in exchange for some travel expenses.

Originally, this kind of shop was full of people coming and going. The boss had seen everyone. In his eyes, there were only fairy artifacts and treasures. He was used to judging people by things.

He took Xiao Xingchen's paper talisman and looked at it, and said calmly, "Dare to ask your friend's name?"

Xiao Xingchen replied indifferently: "I am Xiao Xingchen."

"Xiao Xingchen?!"

The middle-aged man was surprised for a moment, and laughed loudly while holding the paper talisman in his hand. Even Xiao Xingchen's modest personality was a bit displeased with such a disrespect.

"Hahaha...Xiao Xingchen?" The middle-aged man seemed to have heard some extremely absurd words, "If you were Xiao Xingchen, I would be Song Zichen, young man, if you want to falsely report your identity, at least you should report the name of a living person. It's believable, isn't it?"

Only then did Xiao Xingchen understand what he was laughing at.

Previously in Xifu Town, because it was a small town, few people knew who Xiao Xingchen was. After leaving Xifu Town, he and Xue Yang had been walking on remote trails, sleeping in the open, and had never met a few people.It wasn't until this moment that he remembered that in the eyes of the world, Xiao Xingchen was someone who had passed away ten years ago.

Back then when Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji judged Xue Yang in Yicheng, he was accompanied by a group of juniors from the immortal family. After they left, they naturally spread the grievances and grievances in Yicheng.

Being able to be reborn ten years after death is so unimaginable that it is unbelievable for a short time. Xiao Xingchen didn't make any excuses, but said: "It doesn't matter who I am, would you like to take this amulet?"

The boss closed his eyes and probed the spiritual power on the talisman again, pondered for a moment, and said: "Take it! Xiao Er, bring the bank note!"

Xiao Xingchen received the bank note and found that the price of the five talisman papers was far less valuable than what Xue Yang said. He thought that Xue Yang had lied to him casually. The person who was about to enter the store bumped into him, Xiao Xingchen took a closer look, and found him somewhat familiar. When the person saw him, he obviously knew him, so he turned around and ran away. The double image, Xiao Xingchen suddenly realized that this was the grave robber he had met in Xifu Town——the person who took his home and was reborn.

Seizing the house is a forbidden technique to take the life of others and regenerate oneself. It is regarded as a crime by the people of the immortal sect, and once discovered, it will be severely punished.

Xiao Xingchen chased him out, and he didn't bother to explain to Xue Yang. He kept chasing the grave robber to the city gate, but the man disappeared again. He went around in circles, and finally chased him out of the city. There was no trace of the grave robber, but he was no longer alone, but was caught in a net and fell in front of a group of people.
