The distance was not close, but Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji looked exactly the same, so he could never mistake them.

Wei Wuxian guessed that Jin Guangyao might find a way to hold Lan Xichen hostage, but he never expected that Lan Xichen could stand so peacefully among a group of Lanling Jin clan monks without shackles or restraints.

His sword and flute were also worn around his waist.

If Lord Zewu wants to take action, how can these monks patrolling outside the Guanyin Temple stop him? Although Wei Wuxian wants to believe that as the head of the Gusu Lan family, Lan Xichen has his own bottom line and principles

, but he still felt slightly uneasy for Lan Wangji.

Lan Wangji didn't come, and he didn't have any corpses or evil spirits on hand to control. If the Yin Tiger Talisman was still in Jin Guangyao's hand, he might not be able to deal with it head-on. So Wei Wuxian bit his finger and pulled out the bloody one.

He moved his fingertips to the mouth of the soul lock bag on his waist.

He originally wanted to lure a few little ghosts to help him quietly summon some evil creatures. Who knows, at this moment, a sound of dog barking came from far behind him.

Wei Wuxian was stunned on the spot.

He almost withdrew his heart and resisted the urge to jump up the tree and soar into the sky. He trembled and lay down on the ground. Listening to the barking of dogs getting closer and closer, he was filled with fear and couldn't help but chant: "Help, Lan Zhan, help me, Lan Zhan.

Lan Zhan, help me!"

After reciting it, he seemed to have gained a little courage from the name, and he trembled and reluctantly got up, forcing himself to calm down. However, several monks outside the Guanyin Temple had already strung their bows as if they were facing an enemy, and were pointing at the high priest on his side.

Po Ju came. Wei Wuxian was looking forward to it, hoping that this dog was a wild dog without an owner, and that someone would come and shoot it away with an arrow. Unexpectedly, God was not in his favor, and among the barking dogs, a clear young voice sounded again.

, scolded: "Fairy, shut up! Why did you run back again? Where are you?!"

Jin Ling!

Most of the monks of the Lanling Jin Sect could hear the voice of the young master Jin Ling, and also knew that he had a black-maned spirit dog with an arrow on the string. It was still vigilant, but held back, as if waiting for instructions. But

About one of them had never seen Jin Ling before, or was determined to silence all intruders. He let go of the arrow and flew out in the direction of the sound!

Hearing the sharp sound of breaking the wind, Wei Wuxian knew that the archer was a master. If he were hit by this arrow, Jin Ling would be pierced through the chest and bones. <> There was only one thing at hand that he could block immediately. In desperation,

Wei Wuxian jumped out quickly, and in the darkness, he accurately intercepted the menacing flying arrow with a bamboo flute.

Jin Ling heard the strange noise ahead, tightened the rope of the fairy who was wandering around on the ground, and said warily: "Who?!"

Wei Wuxian shouted: “Run!”

The remaining arrows all turned around and were pointed at him. Although the bamboo flute intercepted the arrow, it was torn into pieces and could no longer be played. Wei Wuxian quickly took a few steps back and made a circle with his fingers.

, was about to bring it to his lips to whistle instead, but a voice suddenly sounded behind him, smiling: "I advise you not to. It's okay if the flute is cracked, but it would be so sad if the fingers or tongue are gone."

Wei Wuxian immediately stopped his hand and agreed, "What you said makes sense."

The man said: "Please?"

Wei Wuxian nodded and said, “Sect Master Jin, you’re welcome.”

Jin Guangyao smiled and said, "It should be."

They walked down the slope as if nothing had happened and walked to the Guanyin Temple. Several monks also brought Jin Ling down. They were not rude and politely drew their swords and surrounded him. Jin Ling looked at them and hesitated for a moment.

I still called him first: "Uncle."

Jin Guangyao said: "Hello, Aling."

Jin Ling went to look at Wei Wuxian secretly again. When Wei Wuxian saw that there was no dog beside him, he gathered his three souls and seven souls. He was speechless for a moment and said, "You kid... you came here alone with a dog so late at night."

What are you here for?"

Little did he know that after he, Lan Wangji, and Wen Ning left Lotus Pier by boat, Jin Ling secretly went to find him and wanted to talk to him, but he was nowhere to be found. So he went around arresting people for his crazy behavior.

The uncle who ordered a broken sword to be pulled out lost his temper and decided to lead the black-maned spirit dog to track Wei Wuxian and the others. The fairy followed the scent of Wei Wuxian and the others until they got close, but suddenly became aware of this area.

The lurking murderous spirit suddenly changed its direction, biting its owner's clothes to escape, barking in warning, and then Jin Ling scolded it.<>

Jin Guangyao turned to his subordinates and asked, "Where is the spirit dog?"

A monk said: "That black-maned spirit dog is very ferocious. It bites people when it catches them. However, the subordinates failed to do their best and let it run away."

Jin Guangyao said: "Chase him and kill him. This spirit dog is very smart, don't let it attract people."

"yes!"

Jin Ling blurted out: "You want to kill it? You gave the fairy to me."

Jin Guangyao didn't answer but asked: "Aling, what are you doing here?"

When they asked this question, they had already entered the temple courtyard. Lan Xichen stood in front of the Guanyin Temple and said: "Sect Master Jin, Jin Ling is still a child and your nephew, so there is no threat."

Jin Guangyao was startled, then laughed dumbly and said: "Second brother, what are you thinking? Of course I know that Jin Ling is a child and my nephew. What do you think I will do? Kill him to silence him?"

He shook his head and said to Jin Ling: "Aling, you heard me. If you run around or scream, maybe I will do something terrible to you. It's up to you."

Although Jin Ling had a good relationship with this young uncle in the past, and Jin Guangyao looked as pleasant as before, after hearing countless horrific rumors about him in the past few days, Jin Ling inevitably could no longer look at him with the same eyes as before, silently

He walked to Wei Wuxian and Lan Xichen.

Jin Guangyao shouted: "Haven't you dug it yet? Move faster!"

Everyone in the temple responded: "Yes!"

Wei Wuxian paid attention to see the scenery in the temple. Why did Jin Guangyao come to this Guanyin Temple? What was he digging for? A shocking evil weapon? A divine weapon worth ten thousand? At this time, Lan Xichen walked up

around him.

Only then did Wei Wuxian notice that the sword on Lan Xichen's waist was unsheathed for an inch. However, no inspiration came to him, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.<>

Lan Xichen has no spiritual power. The evil song that Su She played on the mass grave that made people lose their spiritual power was naturally taught to him by Jin Guangyao. I am afraid that Lan Xichen also fell into this trick. Even if

The sword and the flute were all on him, so he had no spiritual power and no threat. He was just in a hurry, so he didn't think of this level.

Lan Xichen whispered to him: "Master Wei, where is Wangji?"

Hearing this name, Wei Wuxian stopped thinking about other things for an instant. He said, "Ah, Lord Hanguang?"

Jin Guangyao was standing nearby and listening, and Wei Wuxian was still thinking rapidly about whether he should tell the truth or lie and say he wasn't here, so that Jin Guangyao could relax his vigilance. Who knew that Jin Guangyao seemed to have read his thoughts?

, smiled slightly and said: "Of course he is also around here. Does Mr. Wei think that I will believe him when he says he is not staying with you?"

Wei Wuxian said, “Smart man.”

Lan Xichen was stunned and said, "Since he is nearby, why isn't he with you?"

Wei Wuxian said, “We’ll split up.”

Lan Xichen said: "I heard that you came down from the mass grave and were injured. How could he separate from you at this time?"

Wei Wuxian said in astonishment: “Who did you listen to?”

Jin Guangyao said: "I said so."

Wei Wuxian glanced at him and said to Lan Xichen, "That's right. I couldn't sleep tonight, so I was walking outside the inn, and I bumped into this place by chance. Hanguang-Jun lives in another room, and he didn't know

I'm out."

Jin Guangyao was surprised: "You guys live in two rooms?"

Wei Wuxian said, “Who told you that we would definitely share a room?”

Jin Guangyao smiled and said nothing, Wei Wuxian said: "Oh, I know." Lan Xichen said.

Wei WuXian said, “You guys really don’t talk about anything.”

Lan Xichen didn't mean to be joking at all, and said: "Mr. Wei, has something happened to you?"

The warm smile on his face disappeared and turned serious, looking more like Lan Wangji. But Wei Wuxian didn't understand why they didn't share a room, and Lan Xichen immediately guessed that something was wrong with them?

Wei Wuxian said, "Sect Master Lan, what can happen to us? We should deal with this one first."

His eyes signaled to Jin Guangyao, and after his reminder, Lan Xichen said, "I'm just impatient."

Jin Guangyao said: "Hanguang-Jun has been working hard for so many years. If you still can't achieve the true goal, Sect Leader Lan really has reason to be anxious."

Wei Wuxian looked at him sharply: "What do you mean by persevering? What do you mean by cultivating to achieve righteousness?"

Hearing this, Jin Guangyao and Lan Xichen were both surprised.

Wei Wuxian's heart beat wildly, feeling that something that had been dead for half the night was gradually coming back to life. He forced himself to calm down and said, "What are you talking about?"

Jin Guangyao said: "What are we talking about, Mr. Wei, do you really not understand or do you pretend you don't understand? Regardless of whether it is true or not, it would be a bit hurtful if Lord Hanguang heard this."

Wei Wuxian said, “I really don’t understand. Just tell me!”

Lan Xichen was shocked and said: "Master Wei, don't tell me that you have been with Wangji for so long and you don't know anything about his feelings?"

Wei Wuxian grabbed him, almost kneeling down and begging him to speak clearly for once: "Sect Master Lan, Master Lan, you, what do you think Lan Zhan thinks, what does he think? Is it, is it..."

Lan Xichen jerked his hand away and said: "...It seems that you really know nothing. But have you forgotten how those whip marks on his body came from? Didn't you see the ones on his chest?

Branded?"

Mr. Zewu has always been very nurturing, but when it comes to Lan Wangji, he is really angry.

Wei Wuxian said, “Quit the whip marks?!”

He grabbed Lan Xichen again and said, "Sect Master Lan, I really don't know. Please tell me, where did those injuries on his body come from?"

Lan Xichen's face was already sullen, but after taking a closer look at Wei Wuxian's expression, his anger subsided and he asked tentatively: "You... have memory impairment?"

Wei Wuxian asked, "My memory?" He immediately tried his best to think of something he had forgotten, and said, "I don't remember when I had... memory!"
