The return of petitions

Wei Wuxian took the food, glanced behind him, and saw that there was no one else, so he was relieved: "How are you? Did Wen Ruohan make things difficult for you?"

Xue Yang shook his head: "He thought Yin Tie was with you, so he didn't make things difficult for me. I heard that you provoked Wen Chao today and were sent to chop down a tree for a day?"

Wei Wuxian smiled casually, and didn't care, "Where did you cut down the tree for a day, you stayed in the back mountain to rest for a day." After a short pause, he asked again: "Since Wen Ruohan believes that you don't have Yin iron on you, how can he Keeping you in Qishan now is to help him manipulate the three Yin irons?"

Xue Yang nodded: "He wants to use living people to make murderous corpses, but the energy of Yin Iron is easy to backfire, not to mention that there is still a piece of Yin Iron missing, so it is even more difficult to manipulate. Yin Iron was made by Xue Chonghai, and I am Xue Chong Hai's descendants, although Yin Tie does not recognize the master, it is easier for me to manipulate than Wen Ruohan."

"He wants to refine a murderous corpse?" Wei Wuxian exclaimed in surprise, "This is an evil technique, you must never touch it."

"If you can control it, it is not a sorcery," Xue Yang explained with rare patience: "If you are controlled by it to control your mind, it is an evil way. Whether it is an evil way or not depends entirely on a person's thought." As he said, he pointed his finger He knocked on the window bar and reminded, "Aren't you hungry?"

"Oh!" Wei Wuxian took a bite of the food, and asked while eating, "Then did you practice it for him?"

Xue Yang sneered, "It's so easy, why would Wen Ruohan ask me for it? He practiced a lot of corpses himself, but they are all ordinary."

To refine a murderous corpse, if the person who refines it is inexperienced and difficult to control, then it is necessary to use external force - find someone who harbored great resentment before he was alive or before death, and it is possible to refine it.

For this reason, Wen Ruohan killed many innocent people, and tortured them to the utmost before they died, hoping to arouse their resentment and turn them into murderous corpses.

It's a pity that those people were full of panic and fear before they died. Although there was some hatred, it was not enough to turn them into powerful murderous corpses in one fell swoop.

In addition, it was Wen Ruohan's first attempt at refining corpses. It was not easy to refine walking corpses with three pieces of Yin iron, and it was even more difficult to refine fierce corpses.

That's why Wen Ruohan spared Xue Yang's life, because he knew that he was extremely talented in magic arts, and it would be much easier for him to refine the corpse.

Didn't Wei Wuxian not know that no matter manipulating the Yin iron or refining the murderous corpse, it would hurt Xue Yang, and no matter whether the refining technique belongs to the evil way or not, it is still outside the righteous way.

Thinking that Xue Yang's current situation is not much better than his own, Wei Wuxian couldn't help but couldn't swallow. He thought for a while and said, "Can you find a way to escape? Aren't you the best at escaping? Find a way to leave from Qishan, don't stay behind." it's here."

Xue Yang's eyes moved down to his arm, there were a few dark streaks crawling there, although not obvious yet, the traces could already be seen.

"Of course I will go," Xue Yang said casually, "Do you think I will always stay here with you?"

As he said this, Wen Ruohan's threatening words in the daytime emerged in his mind: "Don't try to play any tricks, just stay here and refine a murderous corpse for me. If you dare to harbor evil intentions, I will definitely kill you." Then Wei Wuxian would rather die than live!"

"If you have a chance, leave immediately." Wei Wuxian urged, "Don't stay, and don't worry about me."

"Understood, long-winded." Xue Yang pulled his sleeves down to cover the dark lines, and said coldly, "Take care of yourself first, it's really useless to be bullied like this by a Wen Chao!"

Seeing Xue Yang turn around and leave without looking back, Wei WuXian muttered inexplicably aggrieved, "It's not because of you..."

The next day Wei Wuxian was still taken to the back mountain to cut trees, but he couldn't be as leisurely as yesterday.The few servants who were "implicated" by him took him seriously, and whenever Wei Wuxian showed signs of laziness, he would yell, "Don't play tricks, chop it up quickly, and don't even want to have dinner if you don't chop a hundred of them today!"

Wei Wuxian swung the ax in his hand and chopped down the tree trunk at once, saying to himself, "A hundred roots will definitely not be cut down, it seems that you people don't have to eat tonight."

Fortunately, cutting down trees was just physical work, so the mind that was free was divergently thinking about Xue Yang's mention yesterday that Wen Ruohan asked him to manipulate the Yin Iron to refine the murderous corpse.

Although Wei Wuxian also studied spells, he mostly focused on spells, and corpse control was only seen in some ancient books. So far, although Xue Chonghai has tried it but failed, let alone others.

Now Wen Ruohan relied on having three pieces of yin iron in his hand to forcibly cultivate the murderous corpse, if he could not control it well, he would be backlashed by it, and all of these would eventually fall on Xue Yang's head.

Wei Wuxian had searched Xue Yang's body. Although he was sure that he did not have the fourth Yin iron, he also wondered if he had hidden it.Now that he has arrived at Qishan, asking any more questions will only push Xue Yang into a more dangerous situation, so he will not mention Yin Tie at all.

While thinking and chopping like this, most of the day passed without realizing it.

Naturally, he couldn't cut a hundred roots at night, but after all, Wei Wuxian was concerned about his status as Yunmeng's disciple, so some servants brought him some food into the firewood room.

Wei Wuxian couldn't take a bite, and stood by the window eagerly waiting for Xue Yang to come.

A few hours later, seeing that the night was dark, Xue Yang didn't come, but Jiang Cheng sneaked over to see him at night and handed him a bag of pastries.

Looking around the room by the window rail, Jiang Cheng frowned and said, "These warm dogs actually let you live in this kind of place."

Wei Wuxian smiled and asked, "How are you doing today?"

"What else can we do," Jiang Cheng said angrily, "That Wen Chao insisted that we memorize the Wen family's family rules within a day, and said that we would check each one the next day, and if we couldn't recite it, we would copy it a hundred times until we could recite it. "

However, Wei Wuxian knew that Wen Chao dared to treat the sons of a hundred families like this because Wen Ruohan was behind his back.

"The Wen family is too rampant now." Wei Wuxian said in a low voice.

"That's not true." Jiang Cheng was furious when he mentioned Wen's, thinking of seeing Wen Chao's annoying face every day, he felt uncomfortable all over his body.

Seeing that Jiang Cheng was furious, Wei WuXian stopped talking to him, and changed the subject and asked, "Did you see Xue Yang today?"

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and after a long while he said in a bad mood, "I didn't even go in the front hall door, how could I see him."

Wei Wuxian couldn't help worrying in his heart, Xue Yang didn't leave the hall all day, and he didn't come to the firewood room at night, so what happened?

With endless thoughts, Wei Wuxian never closed his eyes all night, and was taken to the back mountain to cut trees at dawn.

After half a day of chopping absent-mindedly, thinking about what happened to Xue Yang in his heart, he saw Lan Wangji, Jin Zixuan and Jiang Cheng also being pushed and shoved by Wen's servants, coming from the end of the path.

"You, why are you here?" Wei Wuxian was stunned.

"Everyone has an axe," the family servant shouted fiercely, "If you don't finish cutting this forest before the sun goes down, all of you will go to sleep in the woodshed."

Lan Wangji and Jin Zixuan didn't speak, they just picked up the ax and went to the side to chop down the tree with unhappy expressions.

Jiang Cheng came over to cut a tree with Wei Wuxian, and said in a low voice, "We couldn't recite Wen's family rules, and we didn't want to copy them a hundred times, so we were driven here to cut trees."

Wei Wuxian couldn't help but wanted to laugh, but felt that the time and place were wrong, so he restrained his smile and said, "Actually, cutting down trees is better than listening to instructions. I'm much more comfortable staying here these few days than you guys."

"I see." Jiang Cheng glared at him.

Holding up the axe, he slashed wildly a few times, seeing that the people on the left and right were not paying attention, Jiang Cheng lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the Wen family sent people to burn the unknown place of Yunshen, and gave an ultimatum to the unclean world, saying that the They bowed their heads to Qishan within [-] days, and asked the Lanling Jin family to make monthly offerings to the Qishan Wen family."

Wei Wuxian was shocked suddenly: "Wen's family burned Yunshen somewhere?"

A look of worry appeared on Jiang Cheng's face: "Everyone can't escape Wen Gou's intimidation. I don't know what's going on in Lianhuawu now. Are parents and sister okay?"

Wei Wuxian was also very concerned about Yunmeng, thinking that Xue Yang hadn't heard from him for two days, and Lianhuawu didn't know what the situation was like, so he was both worried and worried.

After chopping for about an hour, Wen Chao walked over with people hugging him, and said extremely arrogantly: "Chop well, don't try to be lazy. See if there is any," pointing around with a whip in his hand: "This area has to be Those of you who have finished chopping will not be given food or sleep until the chopping is finished."

As soon as Jiang Cheng saw Wen Chao, he wanted to give him a few swords. Seeing that he was deliberately making things difficult, he stopped and shouted: "Such a large forest, even if all of you Wen's family came to cut it down, it wouldn't be finished in a day or two. , how could it be possible for you to let a few of us cut it off?"

"It's hard to say if you can't finish chopping," Wen Chao straightened his sleeves, and said indifferently, "If you don't eat or sleep, just chop it up for a few more days."

Jiang Cheng threw the ax to the ground furiously: "We are here to listen to the training, not to do hard work for you!"

"Listen to the training?" Wen Chao grinned and said, "Isn't this just training you? Look at your lazy looks, what do you look like! This time I came to Qishan, and I just took the opportunity of listening to the training to let my son Teach you well, behave politely and politely, the first step is to start with cutting down trees."

"If you want to kill yourself!" Jiang Cheng snorted coldly, "We don't have the time to spend here with you."

Seeing that Jiang Cheng raised his foot and was about to leave, Wen Chao lashed his foot with a whip: "It's against you! Here on my Wen family's territory, you can do whatever you want, and you still dare to resist, you don't want to live right?"

As he spoke, he raised the whip and wanted to whip it again, but Wei Wuxian grabbed his wrist: "Wen Chao, why do you beat someone?"

"Why, just because you bastards are now listening to my Wen's training!" Wen Chao violently shook off Wei Wuxian's hand, and whipped him on the chest with his backhand: "Wei Wuxian, don't think that you don't talk about Yin Tie! whereabouts, I have nothing to do with you."

Wei Wuxian felt a dull pain in his heart from being pumped, he looked at Wen Chao coldly and didn't speak.

"Why, you started pretending to be dumb when you asked Yin Tie?" Wen Chao whipped up again, and said ferociously, "Speak up! Where did you hide Yin Tie? Tell me and I'll spare your life."

Wei Wuxian evoked a provocative smile, and said clearly, "Want to know? I won't tell you."

Wen Chao frantically swiped his whip, raised his hand in the air but stopped, pointed at Wei Wuxian, glared and gnashed his teeth, and said, "You're hard-spoken, right? There will be times when you cry." After finishing speaking, Wei Wuxian was escorted away. went.
