【Xiyao】Fake prudence

Lan Xichen used his spiritual power to keep Jin Guangyao's vitality alive, and hurried back to Yunshen Unknown Place two days later. Calling "Second Brother", it can be seen that Lan Xichen is the one he can't let go of the most.

Looking at Jin Guangyao who was about to run out of oil on the cold jade bed, Lan Xichen paced back and forth in the cold room full of worries, Doctor Bai also squatted under the mountain pillar, his small eyes swayed back and forth following Lan Xichen's figure go.

The medicines in the prescription given by Dr. Bai have already been prepared, except for the blind medicine. The Gusu Lan family and the Lanling Jin family gathered famous doctors from all over the world to brainstorm the prescriptions. None of the doctors can figure out what the medicine medicine is. Yao's life gradually came to an end, and Doctor Bai had no choice but to mix other poisons into a pill first.

No one knows whether the elixir without Yaoyin has any medicinal effect, and the elixir is extremely poisonous, and it is even more impossible to find someone to test it.

Lan Xichen kept this elixir close to his body for a long time, but he never made up his mind to use it for Jin Guangyao. Once he used it, he might personally bury his lover. Lan Xichen didn't dare to face such an ending, so he could only helplessly. Watching Jin Guangyao wither away day by day, his heart felt like being cut slowly by a blunt knife.

Right now, Jin Guangyao's life is on the verge of death, and he managed to extend his seven-day lifespan only after taking the Life-Extending Golden Elixir at the bottom of the box from Doctor Bai.

Lan Xichen was still hesitating whether to give Jin Guangyao that strong medicine.

For the sake of love, he could contend against the whole world, but now he lost the courage to put all his eggs in one basket.

After three days and three nights like this, Lan Xichen didn't close his eyes, water and rice didn't go in, and his eye sockets were so red that Dr. Bai almost suspected that it was a rabbit that had turned into a sperm.

Lan Qiren and Lan Wangji got the news, and both came to the cold room. Seeing Lan Xichen's painful and entangled appearance, they both thought that if this went on for a long time, not only would Jin Guangyao suffer, but even Lan Xichen would collapse due to mental torture. .

The person who gave Jin Guangyao the medicine may be Jin Guangyao's savior, but it is more likely that he will play the role of Jin Guangyao's executioner, including Lan Xichen himself, who cannot afford such consequences, let alone others. Persuading Lan Xichen to take medicine for Jin Guangyao, he was afraid of creating a rift with Lan Xichen.

Lan Qiren pondered for a moment, decided to persuade Lan Xichen to make a decision early, and was about to speak, but Lan Wangji took a step ahead, and directly extended his hand to Lan Xichen: "Brother, give me the medicine, and I'll feed him."

"Wangji..." Lan Qiren wanted to stop him at first, but after thinking about it, he felt that there was no other way.

Lan Wangji is Lan Xichen's brother, no one is more suitable for this job, even if Jin Guangyao dies unfortunately, can Lan Xichen still hate his own brother?

Lan Wangji did this for the benefit of Lan Xichen, and Lan Xichen must also understand Lan Wangji's painstaking efforts.

Faced with Lan Wangji's outstretched hand, Lan Xichen was still hesitant, for no other reason, he still harbored a glimmer of illusory hope.

Jin Guangyao still has four days to live. During these four days, if he can find a new way to detoxify, there will be room for change.

Lan Xichen didn't move, he kept looking at Jin Guangyao, and Lan Wangji didn't move, maintaining the gesture of reaching out to Lan Xichen, both brothers were completely stubborn.

After a moment of silence, Lan Xichen stood up, but said to Lan Qiren, "Uncle, I want to have a private talk with Wangji."

Lan Qiren nodded, and slowly left the inner room, Doctor Bai followed him across the threshold, leaving the two brothers behind.

Lan Xichen was the one who spoke first, but what he said was a bit rambling: "Why don't you remove the scars on your face? How unsightly?"

Lan Wangji raised his hand, rubbed his thumb against the knife mark on his cheek, and said nonchalantly, "It's not necessary, Wei Ying said it's fine."

Lan Xichen smiled lightly, and pinched Lan Wangji's cheek like he did when he was a child: "For Wei Ying, it doesn't matter if you spoil the heavens, but don't let him do everything, you must listen to uncle's orders for big things."

Lan Wangji frowned, although he didn't understand why Lan Xichen said that suddenly, out of the habit of obeying his elder brother for many years, he nodded slowly, and finally asked hesitantly: "Brother...why did you say that?"

He has very few reservations about his younger brother Lan Xichen, and directly expressed his true intentions: "If he is gone, my relationship with the world will be completely broken. Instead of becoming an immortal person like my father, what better way to live?" It is better to give the position of suzerain to uncle than to hang on to the name of suzerain. I am not here, and the burden of protecting the family falls on your shoulders."

Although Lan Wangji was mentally prepared long ago, when he heard that his brother was really disheartened, his eyelashes still trembled, and he asked sadly, "Does brother have to be like this?"

"You can't even keep the people around you, so it's just an extravagant hope to talk about being alive." Lan Xichen's expression was indifferent, with a hint of boredom, and as soon as his eyes touched his younger brother, he turned into full of concern: "Wangji, what else?" I'm not worried, I'm just worried that your temperament is too withdrawn, you can't be in harmony with others, and it's easy to make enemies with others. You need to remember that you can't keep it for a long time (1). Retire."

After explaining everything, Lan Xichen took out the elixir prepared by Doctor Bai, and said to Lan Wangji, "I will do this."

Lan Wangji said, "I'll do it."

Lan Xichen shook his head and said coldly, "This is a matter between me and him, there is no need to involve anyone who has nothing to do with it."

Lan Wangji's eloquence was limited, and he couldn't say any kind words that warmed people's hearts. He paused and said, "I will continue to implement the Observation Tower."

"Thank you." Lan Xichen said very lightly, then turned around: "Let me do it myself."

Lan Wangji also left.

Lan Xichen staggered to the side of Hanyu's bed, and only stopped with a breath of breath. Lan Xichen looked deeply at Jin Guangyao's pale face, and after confirming that he would never forget his appearance even in his next life. , the palm of his hand slowly supported the back of Jin Guangyao's head, and led him to sit up, leaning against his arms.

Jin Guangyao's consciousness was blurred, he took three breaths before he had to breathe in one more, if the delay continues, this body will only decline further, and it will be more difficult to withstand the ravages of the two poisons.

It's time to make a break.

Lan Xichen's forehead showed the blue dragon's meridian pattern, he clenched his two rows of neat white teeth, and put the elixir into Jin Guangyao's mouth with his own hands.

Just like Doctor Bai said, the two toxins collided violently in Jin Guangyao's veins and flesh, like two violent mad beasts. Jin Guangyao was in pain because of this. He felt that all the bones in his body were about to be crushed, and his blood became Hot as lava, as it flowed, it tortured him like a cannonball.

The pain brought back Jin Guangyao's consciousness, and he was like falling into Abi Hell, screaming and wailing in pain until his voice was hoarse, until his will to live was exhausted.

Sweat flowed, Jin Guangyao's forehead was wet and stuck to his pale forehead, the color of his lips faded, at first it turned white, and later it almost turned blue.

In order to prevent him from harming himself, Lan Xichen kept his arms tightly clasped around him, and at the same time kept swearing to the heavens that if Jin Guangyao could make it through, he would be willing to use his entire life in exchange.

It went on like this for a day and a night, Jin Guangyao couldn't stand the suffering, he said to Lan Xichen dying, "Second brother, please kill me, okay?"

Lan Xichen's spirit was also on the verge of collapse, and his whole body was almost pale and transparent.

He kissed Jin Guangyao's forehead: "I'm sorry, I can't, but I swear, as long as you recover, I'm willing to set you free."

"Prudish, I don't believe your nonsense." Jin Guangyao pulled out a bleak smile, with anger, resentment, and joy.

He raised his head and rubbed the tip of his nose against Lan Xichen's desolate lips, and at the same time let out a weeping moan, like the swan song of a cold wee.

Before the lingering sound was over, the body of the laughing and cursing person suddenly softened, and his face buried in the blue hair also drooped, his body was frozen in a humble posture, just like the young man he had rescued in Hejian back then, feeling ashamed Embarrassed again.

It took a long time before Lan Xichen mustered up the courage to reach out to feel Jin Guangyao's breath and pulse.

The breath is cut off, the pulse is still.

After a desperate struggle, Jin Guangyao still left.

Lan Xichen wasn't haggard, dismembered, or insane like the Lan family feared, refusing to accept the reality.

He calmly arranged Jin Guangyao's appearance, asked his disciples to buy the coffin and funeral objects, personally carried Jin Guangyao into the coffin, carefully put the funeral objects into it, and set up a mourning hall in the cold room to pray for Jin Guangyao's soul After cursing, keep a quiet vigil.

For those who came to express their condolences, whether they sincerely regret Jin Guangyao's death, or simply want to see a joke, Lan Xichen also responded decently, with thorough courtesy, and did not make a joke at all.

Everything is in order.

The coping strategies that the Lan family had concocted were all useless, so they could only stand aside and watch Lan Xichen go about his business, feeling indescribably weird in their hearts.

Lan Xichen acted so consciously and cared about the overall situation that everyone felt that he was in danger.

Lan Xichen's thoughts, except for Jin Guangyao, no one can understand clearly. Once Jin Guangyao is gone, no one can touch Lan Xichen's inner world. Obviously, Lan Xichen has not let others understand his desires, and has never expressed his desires to others. Anyone ever confide in the pain of losing a spouse.

At first, Lan Qiren was worried that Lan Xichen would forcefully support them in order not to make them worry, but after three or four days, Lan Xichen showed no signs of being strong at the outside, and Lan Qiren was relieved.

He thinks that Lan Xichen is still sensible, he just leaves when he leaves, even if he burns all the places in Yunshen, it won't help.

Everyone interpreted Lan Xichen's performance as mournful but not hurtful, and they all praised this is the demeanor of a celebrity.

Sending away everyone with their own thoughts, Lan Xichen was the only one left in the cold room, it was the new moon day, the moon was invisible, the sky was pitch black, only a few stars left, lonely lonely.

Sitting beside Jin Guangyao's coffin, Lan Xichen's expression became gloomy, and his eyes became pools of stagnant water. This is how he looks like a widower.

Throwing a few paper ingots into the brazier, after making sure there was no one around, Lan Xichen's lips parted: "Famous man, what a fart."

He swears the first swear word in his life, which can be called virgin swearing.

After scolding, I feel much more relaxed, and it doesn't hurt to swear once or twice when no one is around.

He was very sad, and of course he was very hurt. The injury went deep into the bone marrow, and he became numb instead.

It's ridiculous, how could he not make trouble after his wife died?

Crazy is a must, but you have to wait until Jin Guangyao is sent away with dignity before you say anything.

After finally getting everything done, it's time for Lan Xichen to go crazy.

He sent away all the disciples guarding the cold room, and there was no one around the cold room.

When Lan Xichen came back, he slowly opened the coffin. Jin Guangyao's face inside was lifelike, as if he was just sleeping peacefully. Lan Xichen caressed Jin Guangyao's cheek with infinite nostalgia, and when his sleeves floated, a gentle wind was brought out. The paper money floated out and flew in all directions.

The paper money wrapped in flames touched the snow-white curtain, and the fire, like a creeper, climbed along the curtain and spread to the roof beams and mountain pillars made of golden nanmu, and instantly the entire roof was covered in raging flames.

Lan Xichen stared intently at Jin Guangyao, his reserved eyes gradually became moist: "I remember you said that you want to die with me, and I am willing to die with you."

A crystal tear rolled down his cheek and landed on Jin Guangyao's cold cheek.

Immediately afterwards, more tears burst out like rain.

Lan Xichen wept unscrupulously like a child.

The flames on the roof of the cold room lit up half of the sky, and the green smoke swarmed like a boa constrictor, which soon attracted patrolling disciples, and the sound of gong beating was like a thunderstorm and thunder, and the bang bang spread throughout the entire cloud, and the disciples shouted in terror: "It's not good! The cold room is flooded!"

The curfew in Yunshen's unknown place was completely broken. All the members of the Lan family woke up from their sleep and rushed to the cold outside. The incident happened so suddenly that Lan Qiren was caught off guard. coming.

Seeing that everyone was crowded outside the bamboo grove beside the cold room, he asked angrily, "Why didn't you put out the fire?"

A clan elder said anxiously: "He opened the barrier! We can't get in!"

It was only then that Lan Qiren remembered that there was an enchantment outside the cold room, only the suzerain could open it, and only the suzerain could close it.

He was filled with remorse, he shouldn't have taken it lightly just because Lan Xichen was calm, it wasn't just him, who would have thought that Lan Xichen would go to such an extreme.

"Quick! Let's work together to break the barrier!" Amidst the chaos, Lan Wangji's voice was exceptionally clear.

After being reminded by him, everyone barely had a direction to act, and gathered their spiritual power to attack the barrier.

The fire raged extremely fast, and in a blink of an eye, the cold room was completely wrapped in fire, and it was extraordinarily brilliant in the night.

Lan Qiren was terrified, and shouted to the cold room through a thousand-mile sound transmission, exhausted his lips and tongue, trying hard to persuade Lan Xichen to turn around.

Lan Qiren's voice came in through the flames, and it didn't stir up any waves in Lan Xichen's heart. He was quietly going crazy, and felt that even if he turned around, he couldn't see the shore.

A little spark fell and landed on Jin Guangyao's arm, burning a small black hole. Jin Guangyao's arm moved a little, his stretched eyebrows gathered together, and he let out a moan.

Lan Xichen was stunned.

Jin Guangyao actually moved.

Lan Xichen was afraid that this was a dream, so he dared not speak out.

He took a deep breath of the stale air mixed with the smoke, and then he heard Jin Guangyao yell again, this yell was clearer than the previous one.

Lan Xichen couldn't help saying, "Ayao?"

Jin Guangyao's dry lips moved: "Second Brother...I'm thirsty, I want to drink water."

The cold room was burned into a pile of ruins again, but Lan Qiren still felt very lucky, after all, Lan Xichen was intact.

After this incident, he also looked away. Compared with his nephew's life, the reputation of the Lan family was nothing at all.

No one can tell exactly why Jin Guangyao died and came back to life. Jin Guangyao himself didn't bother to delve into it. After his death, his attitude towards life has undergone a big change. It's not bad, if possible, he hopes to lose the talent of photographic memory.

After the poison was cured, Jin Guangyao's body was severely damaged, and he could not walk on the ground after recuperating for half a year, and his eyesight regained sight after half a year.

A year later, Jin Guangyao was a lively hero again.

The way forward is already clear, as long as Jin Guangyao doesn't risk his life, he can eat and drink in the Lan's house and idle around until he dies.

Just when Jin Guangyao decided to settle down and be an upside-down son-in-law for the elderly, Lan Xichen actually issued an order to evict him: "I am willing to let you go."

Lan Xichen didn't mean to chase people away by force, but Jin Guangyao thought he was chasing people away, and that's what he was doing.

When Jin Guangyao heard this, he became furious, put his hands on Lan Xichen's neck, and asked viciously, "Did you keep a vixen outside?"

"No." Lan Xichen has no interest in falling in love with Jin Guangyao, "I'm either busy with business or with you every day, so I don't have any free time to raise a fox... to like others."

After Jin Guangyao died, he didn't care about scolding farts, but he still felt very happy. Jin Guangyao came back to life, and his celebrity demeanor returned, and he was very fortunate that no one else heard his virgin scolding at that time.If everyone doesn't know, it means it didn't happen.

Jin Guangyao thought about it, and asked angrily, "Then why did you drive me away?"

"When did I say I was going to drive you away?" Lan Xichen couldn't help but laugh, "I mean, if you want to stay by my side, you can stay by my side. If you don't want to stay, you can leave as you like. If you are tired outside Yes, you can come back anytime."

Having said that, his expression turned solemn: "You are free."

Jin Guangyao let go of Lan Xichen's neck, and looked at him without blinking: "You said it yourself. A gentleman can't chase after a word."

"I do what I say."

After going through life and death, Lan Xichen has figured it out a lot. He doesn't want Jin Guangyao to follow him because he has no choice.

Feelings without freedom will become a strangling knife.

The next day, Jin Guangyao packed his bags and left Yunshen, Lan Sizhui and other juniors thought he and Lan Xichen had fallen out, and chased him out to keep him. After all the good words, Jin Guangyao still insisted on leaving.

Lan Sixu asked: "You really don't love Mr. Zewu?"

With a cold face, Jin Guangyao said indifferently, "Love."

Lan Sizhui was surprised: "Then why did you leave?"

Jin GuangYao curled his lips and said, "He felt that I couldn't leave him, so I just went to show him to see who couldn't leave whom."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand to Yun Shen, and walked away to meet the morning glow.

For more than half a year, Jin Guangyao did not return to Jinlin Terrace, nor did he return to Yunping, and completely disappeared into the vast crowd.

Lan Xichen wasn't worried that Jin Guangyao would encounter any danger outside, but he was afraid that Jin Guangyao would encounter a vixen and really never come back.

He was in a gloomy mood, so he went outside the cold room, watered the leeks, green onions, cabbage and radishes that Jin Guangyao had planted, and carefully tied the bells to protect the flowers, providing the farm garden with treatment comparable to fairy flowers and spiritual grasses.

Lan Ping limped over with a bucket in his hand, met Lan Xichen face to face, and respectfully called out, "Zewu-jun."

Lan Xichen nodded to indicate that he was about to leave, but Lan Ping suddenly fell to his knees, "Zewu-jun...I...I'm guilty."

Jin Guangyao didn't know when and when he would come back, not only Lan Xichen, but also Lan Ping was worried about Jin Guangyao.

This is of course not because of Lan Ping's unrequited love for Jin Guangyao, but because he is Jin Guangyao's spy planted in Yunshen.

He was originally a casual cultivator with a good cultivation base, his disabilities were all disguised, his distorted facial features were stretched out, and his thick eyebrows and big eyes were considered a good-looking talent.

The loss of Jin Guangyao's news means that Lan Ping will stay in Yunshen until the Year of the Monkey. Lan Ping's meticulous career is bleak. Surrendered himself.

Lan Xichen heard Lan Ping's confession, at first he was surprised, then he was puzzled: "Since you belong to him, why didn't you take him away?"

"He's crazy." Lan Ping pointed to his forehead, with a weird expression, "I want to take him away, but he refuses, saying he wants to stay in Yunshen, kill you before leaving."

Lan Xichen pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled, a little schadenfreude: "He seems to have forgotten you."

"Yes." Lan Ping was a little depressed, "You two can play by yourself, I don't want to play anymore, I used to be a guest of the Lanling Jin family, and I want to go back to Jinlin Terrace, is that okay?"

Lan Xichen was in a good mood, and sent Lan Ping back to Jinlin Terrace the next day. I hope Jin Guangyao won't find anything missing after he returns.

Half a year later, news came from the watchtower where he and Jin Guangyao went together, that sea beasts were raging, and several monks stationed at the watchtower were eaten by sea beasts.

The closest aristocratic family was the Gusu Lan clan, and Lan Xichen immediately ordered his disciples and rushed to the small fishing village where the watchtower was located.

When Lan Xichen arrived, the entire fishing village had been evacuated, and the corpses of more than a dozen monks were lying here and there on the watchtower.

The situation looks dire.

A student was a little terrified: "Could it be that the villagers in the whole village have been eaten?"

"No way." Lan Xichen said, "The village is very clean and there is no blood. They must have retreated into the mountains."

So he took his disciples into the mountains to search, and sure enough, he found villagers from a fishing village in the woods. The villagers were cooking with fire, and the two surviving monks were covered with injuries, resting against a big tree. When they saw Lan Xichen coming, they were all overjoyed. Crazy.

Lan Xichen saw that they were seriously injured and they didn't seem capable of organizing the villagers to evacuate, so he asked, "Did you lead the villagers to evacuate?"

The monk said: "No, thanks to a nameless casual cultivator, he led the sea beast away so that the villagers and we could escape from death. He was also the one who took the risk to spread the news. We asked his name, but he refused to say anything. disclose."

"Where are the casual cultivators?"

"There." The monk pointed to the direction of the bonfire.

Lan Xichen looked along, and before he saw anyone, he heard a familiar voice: "Little sister, don't cry, this is for you."

Jin Guangyao was only less than ten feet away from him, and he was coaxing a frightened little girl with a straw grasshopper. His silhouette was dyed with orange fire, warm and soft, like the shadow puppet show they watched together during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Lan Xichen didn't go over to disturb him, and waited quietly, until Jin Guangyao coaxed the little girl into tears, Lan Xichen walked over and greeted very politely: "Your Majesty Lianfang, don't come here without any harm."

"Huh? Isn't this Mr. Zewu?" Jin Guangyao stood up, his eyes wide open, and he spoke frivolous words, "Long time no see, you are more beautiful than before."

"Thank you for the compliment." Lan Xichen accepted it calmly, "To each other."

"Since Mr. Zewu is here, I will take my leave first." After pretending to compliment each other, Jin Guangyao symbolically cupped his hands, picked up his sword and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute." Lan Xichen called to stop Jin Guangyao, "That sea beast is very powerful, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to deal with it with my own strength. Venerable Lianfang has always claimed to be compassionate and cherish jade, are you really willing to let me deal with it alone?"

The disciples all snickered.

Jin Guangyao looked back, with a slightly awkward expression: "It's okay to be a hero to save the beauty again, but since you have contributed, you have to be rewarded to be motivated. Mr. Zewu, even if we two brothers have a fight, we have to settle accounts."

Lan Xichen smiled, and said calmly: "Sorry, I'm in a hurry to go out, and I'm so shy——If I don't see you abandoning me, I'm willing to give you my body, how about it?"

Jin Guangyao leaned against a big tree with his sword in his arms, and said ruffianically, "Come on."
