Episode 35

When Jin Ling regained consciousness, he had no idea that Wei Wuxian had transferred the evil curse away, and thought he was beating him on purpose.Wei Wuxian got into his trap and lied that Lan Wangji was coming, scaring Jin Ling away.At night, Wei Wuxian was walking alone on the quiet street. He looked up and saw Lan Wangji standing on the bridge in white. The bright moonlight made the man stand out.Wei Wuxian felt sad in his heart. He had always thought that Jiang Cheng would be by his side, while Lan Wangji would always be on the opposite side of him. Unexpectedly, time passed by and everything turned upside down.

Wei Wuxian stepped forward to greet him, and Lan Wangji quickly discovered the traces of evil curses on his legs, as well as the scars from being beaten by Zidian.Lan Wangji’s expression was solemn, while Wei Wuxian pretended to be heartbroken and laughed, saying it was just an ordinary evil curse mark, no big deal.Lan Wangji frowned and insisted on carrying Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian felt that as a grown man, it would be embarrassing for him to be carried.Lan Wangji sighed softly and bent down to carry Wei Wuxian on his back. Wei Wuxian was helpless. He tentatively asked Lan Wangji how he recognized himself in Dafan Mountain. Lan Wangji didn't know the answer, so he just askedWei Wuxian thought for himself.

The two returned to the room, and Lan Wangji showed Wei Wuxian the pieces of clothing he had pulled off the mysterious man, which were the symbols of the Nie family.So, Wei Wuxian put on a mask, and the two of them went to see Nie Huaisang, wanting to question him about the ins and outs of the Man-Eating Castle.After not seeing each other for many years, Nie Huaisang still looked submissive and answered “don't know” to all the questions. Seeing this, Wei Wuxian simply sat down and had a good argument with Nie Huaisang.

Wei Wuxian said unhurriedly that there have always been rumors of the cannibal castle in Xinglu Ridge, but there has never been a real victim, so these are just rumors, and rumors will make ordinary people stay away from Xinglu Ridge, so its roleThere is only one line of defense, and it is only the first line of defense.Then, the second line of defense is the monsters on Xinglu Ridge, which can make people close to Xinglu Ridge flee.The third line of defense is the maze formation near the stone castle to prevent Xuanmen monks from entering.The purpose of these three lines of defense is to prevent the Cannibal Fort from being discovered. It is conceivable that this is the boundary of the Nie family in Qinghe, so naturally it is the Nie family who set up all this.

At this point, Nie Huaisang could no longer hide the truth. He had no choice but to reply, that was not the cannibal castle at all, but the ancestral grave of the Nie family!It turns out that the Nie family is different from other immortal families. Other families practice swordsmanship, but the ancestor of the Nie family was a butcher, so he practiced swordsmanship. The swords of the family heads of the past generations have extremely violent and murderous auras.Almost every family head went crazy in the end and died violently.Then, when these family heads were alive, the restlessness of their swords could still be controlled by the owner. But after the owner's death, if the sword was left uncontrolled, it would turn into a murderous weapon and need to be sacrificed by monsters and ghosts.

Later, the sixth generation head of the Nie family came up with a way to put the knives of his father and grandfather in the coffin of the stone castle, and buried the evil spirit with the knife coffin as a burial object to alleviate the madness of the knife spirit.Only in this way can the subsequent generations of the Nie family enjoy peace.Originally, the knife tomb that the Nie family first built was just a common tomb, but later it was dug up by a group of tomb robbers. They rummaged around inside, but the result was that the suppressed knife spirit in the tomb was alarmed, and the evil spirit broke out of the wall, offering sacrifices to the tomb.When the goods were gone, the gang of tomb robbers were used as sacrifices and sucked into the wall. From then on, there were rumors that there was something that cannibals in Xingluling. In order to prevent outsiders from getting close, the Nie family simply added fuel to the rumors to make them more scary, and Jin Ling wasWhen entering the stone castle, he accidentally exploded the bones of the tomb robber in the wall, so they were sucked into the wall to fill the gap.

After hearing this, Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian promised to keep it a secret, and Nie Huaisang left in trepidation.Lan Wangji noticed that the evil curse mark on Wei Wuxian's leg was getting bigger and bigger, and couldn't help but worry. At this time, the sword spirit in the soul lock bag moved strangely, and seemed to be connected to the evil curse mark. The two hurriedly played a rest song together., and then suppressed the spirit-locking capsule, Wei Wuxian also realized that the Man-Eating Castle was where the Sword Spirit wanted to take him.

So, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji came to the Man-Eating Castle again. Nie Huaisang had already built the place. Lan Wangji couldn't help but tear down the wall again, and the bones inside poured out, but no clues were found.Wei Wuxian also asked Nie Huaisang to open all the sarcophagi and carefully inspect the sabers inside, but found nothing strange.Lan Wangji pondered for a moment and realized that only Nie Mingjue's Saber Master was not here.Nie Huaisang's expression became solemn. He recalled that Nie Mingjue suddenly went crazy at Jin's Hundred Flowers Banquet and his veins were severed. However, he mysteriously escaped and no one found his body.

Wei Wuxian took a breath. It seemed that the sword spirit in the spirit bag was probably Baxia's sword spirit. And the sword spirit was so impatient that he was afraid that Nie Mingjue had died unexpectedly. He could only continue to follow the sword spirit's instructions.Only by pointing in the direction can you find out the truth.Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji walked all the way and stopped at a restaurant. The shopkeeper was vividly describing the case of the Chang family being exterminated many years ago. He mentioned in his words that Xue Yang was now the guest of the Jin family, which really made Wei WuxianXian was surprised.It turned out that Xue Yang suddenly appeared in Jinlin Terrace a few years ago. All the masters advocated severe punishment, but Jin Guangshan strongly opposed it. Even Chang Ping, the only survivor of the Chang family, also recanted her confession, saying that Xue Yang had nothing to do with the Chang family's annihilation.The relationship was like this, Xue Yang escaped from death, and it was not until Jin Guangshan died and Jin Guangyao became the head of the family that Xue Yang was eliminated.

Wei Wuxian was curious. When Xue Yang was released, didn't Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan show up?Lan Wangji replied that Xiao Xingchen disappeared, Song Lan traveled far away, and no one saw them again, and Chang Ping, who retracted his confession, not only lost his eyes, but also died of Lingchi, and Lingchi's murder weapon was Xiao Xingchen's Shuanghua Sword.Obviously, people thought it was Xiao Xingchen who killed Chang Ping in revenge. This is really an unpredictable situation.Lan Wangji also felt the same way. He raised his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, lamenting the impermanence of the world.
