The return of petitions

The two lived in the inn for a few days, often leaning together to talk, laugh, and fight. Whenever Xue Yang drank the medicine, he insisted on asking Wei Wuxian to feed him. Half of a bowl of soup and medicine would end up in Xue Yang's mouth. Half of it was drunk by Wei Wuxian.After drinking the medicine several times, the glued lips still refused to part, and in the end they almost misfired and couldn't stop.

But Wei Wuxian was always concerned about Xue Yang's injuries, and also thought that the inn's sound insulation was not good, and someone coughing outside the corridor could be heard clearly, so he often turned away from Xue Yang's side with red eyes, went to the table and poured a glass of cold water, Calm the manic heartbeat.

The person who was on fire still looked at Wei Wuxian innocently with a smirk on his face, and asked pretending not to know: "Brother, what's wrong with you? Is it hot?"

Wei WuXian came over and leaned over to look at Xue Yang, his eyes as black as sandalwood ink overflowed with a dangerous light, his finger lingered on Xue Yang's face and said, "Soon you will know what's wrong with me."

Xue Yang failed to make fun of him, but was silenced by his words. He knew the deep meaning in his words, but he didn't dare to continue. After all, his injury was not healed, and if something happened, he would definitely not be able to escape. He was under pressure. That, I had no choice but to swallow this breath, and snorted angrily.

Wei WuXian smiled and shook his head. Seeing that his complexion had improved, he felt relieved, and said, "You've already finished the candy you used for medicine, I'll go and buy some more, you're not allowed to go anywhere while you're here."

"Understood, it's long-winded." Xue Yang replied in a muffled voice, turned around and lay down, as if he didn't want to talk to him any more.

Wei Wuxian knew what was going on in his heart, he was angry and funny, but he didn't continue teasing him anymore, he just opened the door and went out.

After buying the needed candy, Wei Wuxian thought about Xue Yang who stayed alone in the inn, and walked back without looking at anything else.When I turned a street, I saw a stall with candied haws next to it. Thinking of Xue Yang's favorite food, I couldn't help but stop and buy a few more bunches.

Just as he was handing the copper coins to the peddler, he heard whipping and scolding coming from not far away. Looking at the reputation, there were five or six people tied together and struggling to move forward on the other side of the street. There were two disciples of the Jin family beside them. He kept whipping them with a short whip: "Haven't you eaten? You are moving so slowly, hurry up! If you delay the time, be careful and kill you!"

The peddler sighed while accepting the money: "Send the caught people to Qiongqidao in twos and fives. These Jin family members are similar to the Wen family in the past."

Hearing what he said, Wei Wuxian actually knew something inside, so he asked, "Are these people offshoots of the Wen family? Where is Qiongqidao?"

The peddler looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to this place, so he lowered his voice and said, "The surname of all those arrested is Wen. As for whether they are offshoots of the Wen family, who knows? Anyone who has anything with the word 'Wen' will be arrested by the Jin family. Qiongqi Road." After a pause, he quietly pointed in one direction: "Follow this road into the valley, and there is a sparsely populated ancient road inside, which is Qiongqi Road. After those people surnamed Wen were arrested, they were basically sent inside."

Wei Wuxian glanced at the place he was pointing at, and asked again, "Do you often arrest people to go in?"

The peddler shook his head and said, "There are too many. A group of people were brought over here in twos and fives. A few days ago, a group of people passed by here. I still know one of them. His sister seems to be a doctor. He was still there before. I have given free medical treatment to everyone nearby."

Wei WuXian already knew who this "little brother" was after hearing his simple words, his heart was shocked immediately, and he asked himself softly, "Wen Ning?"

"Hey, that's right, it seems to be the name." The peddler widened his eyes and said, "Master, do you know him?" Then he sighed and said, "This Qiongqidao is not a good place. The little brother looks young. Most of them are close to death."

When Wei Wuxian returned to the inn with the sugar packets and candied haws, his face was grim, and Xue Yang, who was sitting at the table drinking tea, was at a loss: "Why did you go out and come back with such a bad face? Who messed with you? "

Wei Wuxian put the candy bag on the table, handed the candied haws to Xue Yang, sat down beside him, thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to Qiongqi Road."

Xue Yang stopped drinking water, then turned to look at him: "Who are you saving?"

Wei Wuxian unconsciously clenched his hand on the table into a fist, and said, "Wen Ning. He and his sister Wenqing once saved me and Jiang Cheng, and they are kind to us. Now that he is in trouble, I can't just sit idly by."

"Okay!" Xue Yang replied, "I'll go with you."

Just as Wei Wuxian was about to speak, Xue Yang preemptively said: "My injury has recovered a lot, not to mention that Qiongqi Road is full of Jin family members, anyway, I have killed many Jin family disciples, killing one is killing, killing a group is also the same. Kill, there is not much difference."

Wei Wuxian nodded, "Okay."

The two left for Qiongqi Road after checking out the inn.After entering the valley, the road becomes narrower and narrower, with the towering Huangshan Mountains standing on both sides. There is not a single tree on the bare mountain top, and occasionally gravel is blown down by the strong wind, causing a burst of dust to fly.

When Wei Wuxian and Xue Yang arrived, it had just rained the night before, and the loess on the ground was still very sticky. The moist feeling of the soil was transmitted to the soles of their feet through their steps, and mud crumbs splashed away when they stepped forward.

Seeing that the narrow path ahead was blocked by two rows of barbed wooden posts, Wei Wuxian drew a golden talisman out of thin air and pasted it on top, only to hear a loud "bang", and the two rows of wooden posts were blown to pieces. , Sawdust flew around and filled the entire sky.

The shocking noise attracted the students of the Jin family who were eating inside. Seeing someone trespassing into the valley and destroying the wooden posts, he hurriedly blocked the way with his sword: "Stop! Who are you, you dare to come to this Qiongqi Road? Don’t you have the guts to know whose territory this is?”

Wei Wuxian tapped the palm of his hand in a slow manner while holding the petition, and smiled softly, "Oh? Whose territory is this?"

"This is Qiongqi Dao, which belongs to the Lanling Jin Sect." One of them said viciously: "If you know your senses, get out, or your lives will be in danger!"

"It turned out to be the site of the Lanling Jin family," Wei Wuxian suddenly realized, and nodded with a smile on the complacent expressions of the people opposite him: "This shows that we have come to the right place." After a pause, he spoke softly and harmlessly: "How many times A few days ago, I heard that a man named Wen Ning was sent here, and I asked everyone to ask, is this Wen Ning still in Qiongqidao?"

The few people looked at each other, and a guilty conscience flashed in each other's eyes, and the person standing in the middle pretended to be tough: "What Wen Ning? There are so many people with the surname Wen, who knows who Wen Ning is? Find someone Go to another place, here is not just anyone can come here!"

"In that case," Wei Wuxian nodded, with a hint of coldness in his still easy-going tone: "Then I would like to trouble you all to call out all the people with the surname Wen inside, and let Wei Mou take a look at them one by one, so that we can be sure who Wen is. Ning is not here."

"Bah!" The man in the middle spat: "What are you, you dare to command the old men here. You want everyone to come out to show you? Are you worthy? Get out!"

The smile on the corner of Wei Wuxian's mouth gradually widened, and his eyelids drooped slightly to cover the fleeting danger in his eyes.

"Have you asked clearly?" Xue Yang, who stood silently for a long time, took out the disaster without haste, his face with a smile like a spring breeze looked as dazzling as the sunshine in March: "After waiting for such a long time, I don't want to worry about it." I'm getting impatient, it really doesn't work to move my mouth, it's more straightforward to do it directly."

After speaking, he lifted his sword and killed those Jin family members. The sword wind was swift and swift, but two people died in the disaster in a short time.

A few people saw Xue Yang's sword was vicious and venomous, and he didn't leave any room for it. They immediately signaled to each other to sneak attack from behind, but Wei Wuxian hit a golden talisman on their backs, and then a mouthful of blood spewed out, and the whole body was shocked. The pain was so unbearable that he couldn't even hold his sword steady and rolled to the ground.

Xue Yang left a few survivors, and cut off their tendons one by one with a sword. He tilted his head and asked with a smile, "Where is Wen Ning? If you don't talk about it, you won't be able to keep your hands and feet."

The two recognized by someone were Wei Wuxian, the founder of the Ghost Dao, and his Taoist companion Xue Yang. Only then did he realize what arrogant words he had just said, and suddenly panic flooded his body like a tide, and he was almost terrified. Breaking apart, he knelt down and begged for mercy: "Master Wei, please forgive me, Mr. Xue, please forgive me. We really don't know Wen Ning. We only know that the people who come here are all people with the surname Wen. But whether there is Wen Ning, we really don't know." I know!"

Xue Yang grinned ferociously, patted the man's cheek with the blood-dripping blade, and said, "Wouldn't it be better to talk like this in the morning? You have to see some blood before you are willing to communicate properly."

"Yes, yes, yes," the survivors all prostrated themselves on the ground and did not dare to raise their heads, "It's the little ones who don't know Mount Tai, and didn't recognize Mr. Wei and Mr. Xue. I beg the two young masters to forgive the little ones." Life……"

"Don't be in a hurry to beg for mercy." Xue Yang wiped the blood from the sword on the clothes of those people, and said with a smile, "Didn't you hear what Wei Wuxian said just now? I told you to kill the people here." Call them all out, and let no one fall behind."

"Yes, yes, let's go, two young masters, wait a moment!" Several people ignored their bleeding wrists, and crawled in to call for someone.

When I was young, all the Wen surnames who were sent to Qiongqi Road came out, stood in four rows in the open space with their heads down, waiting for Wei Wuxian and Xue Yang to have a look.

There were men, women and children in these people, their clothes were ragged, their faces were bloodstained, and they also had wounds of different sizes. When they were called by the Jin family, some of them staggered and walked unsteadily, and they looked like they had wounds on their legs.

Wei Wuxian stepped forward to check one by one, and seeing that there was no Wen Ning inside, he was surprised, and after looking back and forth twice, he asked, "Is everyone here?"

"Everyone is here." One person replied, and couldn't help but cringe when he raised his head to meet Wei Wuxian's dark and cold eyes, and quickly lowered his head to avoid that cold gaze.

Wei Wuxian took a step forward, and asked again in a very slow voice: "Everyone, are they here?"

The man swallowed unconsciously, moved his lips slightly for a long time before making a weak voice, and said timidly: "Except, except... those who have died, they were all... thrown into the pit behind the mountain ..."

Wei Wuxian already felt ominous in his heart, but he still said in a deep voice, "Take us there."

Seeing that person shrinking back and not daring to agree, Wei WuXian raised one corner of his lips into a cold and oppressive smile: "Do you need me to repeat it?"

"No, no, no need..." The man hurriedly waved his hands, trembling and then led Wei Wuxian and Xue Yang to the huge pit in the back mountain.
