【Xiyao】Fake prudence

Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps converge into a straight ladder leading straight into the misty clouds.

The people at the foot of the mountain all say that there is a fairy cave abode connected to the ladder, and there is a magic medicine hidden in the cave abode, swallowing it can ascend to immortality and obtain eternal life.

"So what if you fly up? Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir. The blue sea is clear and the sky is heartbroken every night. Why don't you die if you become a mandarin duck and don't envy immortals."

"Cultivators of immortality are actually no different from traffickers and pawns. They are all greedy. Others are greedy for money, they are greedy for fame, and then use the fame they got to fight for power."

"A villain is still a villain if he is attached to a gentleman, but if a gentleman fights with a villain, he will also become a villain, because he will not be able to defeat a villain without the means of a villain."

The young man in white was trudging on the ladder, carrying an evil barrier on his back, the evil barrier's legs were dangling, chattering endlessly, full of fallacies and heresies.

Lan Xichen listened with a smile and nodded frequently: "Yes, what you said is correct."

It's much easier to get used to one person than to get along with two people.

These days, like a race against time, Jin Guangyao no longer seeks rare treasures, he wants to take Lan Xichen to travel all over the famous mountains and rivers, to visit all the places he has never been before, to see all the scenery he has never seen before again.

They had just come back from a trip on the coast of the East China Sea, the scent of the sea breeze was still in their hair, lacking elegance and integrity, but they were very comfortable.

Jin Guangyao had a string of colorful crystal shells hanging around his neck, and he was holding a string of candied haws in his hand. The color was bright red, covered with glistening honey, childish food, romantic appearance, sweet and sour taste, he ate one , and then feed Lan Xichen one, sweet and sweet, both in love and on a blind date.

Today's weather is clear and beautiful, the sun is shining brightly, and the mountain wind is humid. The warmth of early spring has finally evaporated Jin Guangyao's anger accumulated over the years, and he can finally devote himself to a love.

After eating a few candied haws, Jin Guangyao's throat became greasy, and he couldn't help coughing, a fishy sweetness gushed out, he hurriedly pulled out the handkerchief to cover his mouth, when the coughing was over, red plums were dotted on the snow handkerchief.

"Are you coughing up blood again?" Lan Xichen asked with concern, tilting his head slightly.

"I'm used to it." Jin Guangyao knew he couldn't hide it, so he didn't hide it much.

He pretended to be calm, and brought the last candied haws to Lan Xichen's mouth: "Eat it for me, don't waste food."

Lan Xichen ate the candied haws, and the crispy honey melted in his mouth, and the thick sweetness accumulated, turning into a bitter taste.

He has gone farther than his father and has done a great job, so why did he end up like this?

Jin Guangyao didn't seem to notice Lan Xichen's sadness, so he suggested enthusiastically, "This summer, let's go to Kunlun Mountain to see the snow, shall we? I heard that there are many spirit beasts in Kunlun, and I like seeing spirit beasts the most!"

He happily said he liked it, like a naughty boy.

"Okay, I'll take you wherever you want to go." Lan Xichen was very obedient to Jin Guangyao, "But don't worry, let's rest for a while and get well before we start."

"I'm afraid it will be too late." Jin Guangyao bowed his head, and buried his whole face in Lan Xichen's black hair soaked in morning dew.

Lan Xichen's methodical footsteps suddenly staggered, and after a few steps, he stopped, and after a long silence, he answered, "I want to go to Huai Sang."

It is not hard to guess who put the Mortanga poison on Jin Guangyao's body.

Doctor Bai has been burying himself in medical books for half a year, and he still hasn't found a cure for the poison. Jin Guangyao's body is fragrant and fragrant, and his face is getting better and better every day. Xichen's heart.

The more beautiful it is, the closer it is to the period of decay.

If things go on like this, there is only one way to find the instigator.

"No!" Jin Guangyao bristled with spikes all over his body, "I won't let you go!"

Without waiting for Lan Xichen to answer, he couldn't wait to say: "Nie Huaisang not only hates me to the bone, but also hates you to the bone! He deliberately set up this murderous situation, just to let us strangle each other. It can be seen that he has no brotherhood for you in his heart." If you want to go to him, you are just throwing yourself into a trap."

He should have thought of it earlier.

The vengeance of killing his brother lay before him, but Nie Huaisang let him go so easily, so it turned out that he was deliberately using him to harm Lan Xichen.

Because Lan Xichen's behavior was almost perfect, even if he searched the cold room, he couldn't find a single thing that was indecent.

Such an impeccable moral model, Nie Huaisang couldn't say anything, so he used a trick to blame Jiang Dong, and gave him this trouble to Lan Xichen, not only to destroy Lan Xichen's reputation, but also to kill Lan Xichen.

When he realized Nie Huaisang's sinister intentions, even a conspirator like Jin Guangyao, who had exhausted all kinds of tricks, felt amazed.

Nie Mingjue is bold and upright, yet he has such a resourceful younger brother.

Lan Xichen thought about it, and continued to climb the steps: "Of course I can't throw myself into the trap, he should be the one who threw himself into the trap."

One month later, Nie Huaisang sat in the elegant room, picked up the teacup leisurely, sipped the tea, and praised: "The tea from Gusu is better, Qinghe will never be able to grow such good tea."

Lan Xichen sat at the head, seeing Nie Huaisang's gaze, still as tolerant as when he was a boy, he smiled at Nie Huaisang, "Since you like the scenery of Gusu, why not stay for a few more days, even if you stay for three years like when you were a boy, It's all right."

"That can't be done." Nie Huaisang put down the teacup and sighed slightly, "Nowadays, it's not like before, and the clan affairs are entangled. Just this one round trip, in an unclean world, I don't know how many papers I have to backlog."

"Sect Master Nie seems to be very tired recently, look at your eyes are turning blue." Lan Xichen casually fiddled with a crabapple that came in from the window, with a relaxed and contented expression.

"That's right..." Nie HuaiSang yelled, his spirits froze, "HanGuang-Jun is chasing after him, how can I handle it?"

A month ago, Lan Wangji suddenly appeared in Qinghe. On a dark and windy night, he hijacked a caravan. The caravan vehicles were full of dead bodies.

Under Lan Wangji's threat of beheading his hands, the leader of the caravan quickly confessed that these corpses that were about to turn into corpses were all going to be sent to the unclean world.

As for what to do in the unclean world, the truth was revealed by Nie HuaiSang two years ago in Cannibal Fort.

In fact, this is really not a big secret compared to what happened with Jin Guangyao, but to Lan Xichen, it is a known but unknown secret.

What is known but not known?

Lan Xichen doesn't want to know, this is a secret, Lan Xichen wants to know, this can become a crime.

The case of transporting corpses in Qinghe caused a sensation in the world of cultivating immortals. For a while, there were different opinions, and there was no consensus. Various speculations about Qinghe Nie's family were rampant.

The cultivation methods of the Nie family in Qinghe were always neglected intentionally or unintentionally in the past. After this case, it was pushed to the forefront for the first time, causing a great disturbance in the world of cultivating immortals. Discussions about whether to abolish the Nie family's cannibal fort are endless, and there is a tendency to intensify. In just one month, there have been several discussion meetings, but due to Lan Xichen's absence, no results were reached.

This matter couldn't be cooled down, the root cause was that Lan Wangji refused to show face and insisted on investigating to the end.

Jin Ling gave his full support and waved his flag, Jiang Cheng looked on coldly, Nie Huaisang pushed three times and blocked four times, struggling left and right, coping with it was extremely difficult.

Cannibal Fort has existed for hundreds of years, and no one has ever doubted the rationality of its existence. In the final analysis, it is an individual who cleans the door for himself, so why bother with other people's business.

The wave of opposition suddenly became so strong that it turned into a siege, and a pair of overturning hands were indispensable to fuel the flames.

There are gods with this ability in the fairy gate, and they can be counted on the fingers.

Nie Huaisang is not a person who cares about face either, he knew in his heart who wanted to make him feel bad, so he went straight to throw himself into the trap.

"Really?" Faced with Nie Huaisang's weakness, Lan Xichen only smiled: "But what does this have to do with me? Wangji has broken with me for a long time, so he won't listen to my advice."

"Second brother's imperial conquest, younger brother is really hard to resist." Nie Huaisang is as capable as Jin Guangyao, and he should be soft and unambiguous, "I came to the door this time to explain to you, second brother, that the corpses in the Nie family's sacrificial knife hall were all passed through. Purchasing through regular channels, the Qinghe Nie clan has absolutely never tortured or killed living people."

"Why do it yourself? As long as the benefits are big enough, someone will do it for you." Lan Xichen supported his stomach with his hands, with a rather cold attitude, and persuaded: "Huai Sang, the method of sword spirit is indeed powerful, but the counterattack is also huge. It is more difficult to control than a generation ago, and if things go on like this, it will be hard to get back, and the path of the Qinghe Nie family will become more and more difficult, why don't you take advantage of this opportunity to cut off a strong man's wrist, which is also considered one of your achievements."

The tone was neither salty nor weak, only polite, without any intention of caring.

Decades of love just vanished like this, and people have to lament that the world is impermanent and people's hearts are unpredictable.

Of course Nie Huaisang would not be so naive as to think that showing weakness would allow Lan Xichen to let him go, and he is not Jin Guangyao.

"Brother Xichen, I really miss that time." Nie Huaisang sighed with emotion, "At that time, the third brother hadn't appeared, your heart hadn't been biased, and the relationship between the eldest brother and you was still very good. Brother. It was because of your face that he became sworn brother with the third brother. If he didn't swore, how would the third brother have the chance to attack him?"

A tinge of guilt grew in Lan Xichen's icy heart, and this time he finally stopped running away: "I'm responsible for the death of elder brother, the one you should hate the most is not Ayao, it should be me."

"You are very self-aware." Nie Huaisang smiled suddenly, "I do hate you the most, but I can't do anything about you. Who told you to be so good at being a human being? It's not Sange, but you who are the most slick in the fairy sect. If Brother was not killed, I still worship you like a god."

Lan Xichen followed suit with a smile: "You have nothing to do with me, so you use him to deal with me?"

"Don't you like it?" Nie Huaisang smiled narrowly, "In order to help you get your wish, the eighteen monks of the Nie family lost their right hands! Second brother, you shouldn't be so cruel to Nie Zheng. Without him, how could you Can you know the sincerity of the third brother to you? I am afraid that until now, you are still living alone in the cold room."

Lan Xichen asked, "Do you really want us to be together?"

"Of course." Nie HuaiSang said, "There is no one in the world who sincerely hopes that you will live together and live together, just as you promised when you sworn in. You can't be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but you want to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day."

"Huai Sang, I am very grateful for your help." Lan Xichen looked innocent, so gentle, so harmless.

Nie HuaiSang squeezed the handle of the fan tightly, and asked with a smile, "What is Second Brother going to thank me for?"

Lan Xichen said, "Eldest brother is gone, second brother helped guide the Nie family on the right path, is that counted as thanks?"

Nie HuaiSang stared at Lan XiChen for a moment, then shook his head with a sneer, "How can there be such a hypocrite like you? Jin GuangYao's scolding is absolutely right, you are a prudence."

"It doesn't matter if you're prudish or serious." Lan Xichen wasn't provoked at all, he picked up his teacup, his every move was extremely elegant, and he took a sip of tea before continuing: "You can't do anything to me, just can't." .”

"That's right... there's no other way." Nie Huaisang's knuckles turned blue, "Third Brother, if he can find a way, he will do it."

"He's not willing to embarrass me." Mentioning Jin Guangyao, Lan Xichen's expression became ambiguous, and then suddenly stern and cold, he looked at Nie Huaisang, and said word by word: "If he is gone, I will be gone too." Kizuna, I can teach you wholeheartedly."

Nie HuaiSang shook his folding fan, and finally saw: "Second brother, there is no cure for the Matanga girl. That old doctor may not have the heart to tell you that you are the one who mobilized the Matanga girl. If you don't touch him, At most, he is insane until he dies, and you can still sit high on the clouds and continue to be worshiped by thousands of people. But who told you to keep guarding yourself? All of this is your own fault."

Lan Xichen pinched the back of the chair, the blue dragon on the back of his hand was protruding, hideous and terrifying: "Have you left the Nie family?"

Nie Huaisang said indifferently: "The Nie family's century-old mess, can I take care of it if I want? Even my elder brother has nothing to do, I can only take care of myself. Since he is still alive, he will come to ask for my life sooner or later. We have to act first.”

Lan Xichen asked: "He has become like that, how can he come to take your life?"

Nie HuaiSang sneered: "Aren't there you? Second brother, you no longer have any credibility with me."

Lan Xichen laughed at himself: "In your eyes, am I this kind of person? It seems that I am not good enough to be a human being."

Nie Huaisang stared at the plaque with the word "Yazheng" written on it, and stated the past: "I doubted the truth of the death of my elder brother, and wrote you an anonymous letter, hoping that you would uphold justice. But what about you? You burned the letter, and even the investigation did not If you don’t want to investigate, I’ve known your nature since then—my elder brother’s life is not as good as your years.”

Lan Xichen asked back: "The lives of the people in Mojiazhuang, and the lives of those juniors, can't compare to your revenge plan?"

"Not as much." Nie HuaiSang replied frankly, "I'm a selfish person, I can only care about my own love and hate. As for others, that's out of my consideration."

"Exactly, I'm the same as you." Lan Xichen was equally frank.

At this time, Jin Guangyao's voice came from the back hall, coughing slightly: "Second brother, even if I know in advance that I am poisoned by a modern girl, I am still willing to spend the rest of my life in exchange for being with you for a whole year."

Nie Huaisang suddenly stood up, and asked with a smile, "Third Brother, don't you want Lingtang's ashes?"
