Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Wei Wuxian certainly loved Jin Ling, the son of Jiang Yanli and Jin Zixuan. However, he did not expect that even though Jin Ling had guessed his identity, he would be closer to a person of unknown identity than to him. He felt a little jealous and wanted to know more about Jiang Cheng's background.

However, since Lan Zhan was here, Wei Wuxian had no time to bother with Jiang Cheng or Jin Ling about these trivial matters.

But Wei Wuxian was still a little worried, so he found an opportunity to block Jiang Cheng and, together with Lan Zhan, interrogated him and took Jiang Cheng to another secluded place outside the city to talk alone.

Jiang Cheng watched Lan Zhan in this world guarding Wei Wuxian almost every step of the way, and thought about how Lan Zhan in that world always looked for opportunities to spend time with them. He couldn't help but make an assumption in his mind: If he and Wei Ying hadn't fallen in love first, maybe the person who would be with Wei Ying would be Lan Zhan.

Lan Zhan openly set up the barrier and watched everyone remain silent, but Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian both understood what he meant.

With a sigh, Jiang Cheng said, "I am Jiang Cheng Jiang Wanyin, the 24th generation leader of the Yunmeng Jiang Clan."

Wei WuXian thought he might have heard it wrong, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that the person in front of him was not lying. He was just afraid that he was not from this world, but from another world.

Seeing that they did not interrupt him, Jiang Cheng continued, "I don't know why I came to such a world. Some people here are the same as the people I know, but their experiences are different, while some people are completely different people."

Suddenly, Wei WuXian suddenly thought of something, and with red eyes and a cautious and expectant look, he asked, "What about Senior Sister? Did I kill her too?"

Jiang Cheng laughed: "Sister is of course happily married, with children and grandchildren around her."

But after saying this, Jiang Cheng's face changed drastically. He felt that he had said nothing wrong, but another voice inevitably popped up in his mind, always feeling that there was something wrong with his current memory. He tried his best to find out the truth of the matter, but this would only give him a headache and would not do him any good.

Wei Wuxian was originally still happy for Jiang Yanli and himself in another world, but when he looked up, he saw Jiang Cheng with a pale face and his hands pressed on his temples. He immediately became nervous, "Ah Cheng, what's wrong with you? Are these things a secret to you that can't be revealed casually?!"

Even though they were both men, Wei Wuxian had already fallen in love with Lan Zhan, so Jiang Cheng felt that he should not take advantage of this. He blocked Wei Wuxian's outstretched hand without leaving a trace. Jiang Cheng did not make things difficult for himself, and the headache symptoms disappeared immediately.

In response to Wei Wuxian and Lan Zhan's concern, he still had to explain: "There must be something wrong with my memory. Maybe it is related to the reason why I came to this world. I remember that my sister's child Jin Ling even has two children, but in fact, you should be able to see that I am at most forty years old now."

This is quite true. Jiang Cheng looks to be in his early twenties, much younger than Lan Zhan with his white hair, and more mature and stable than Mo Xuanyu who is in his teens.

But Wei Wuxian and Lan Zhan still didn't dare to ask any further. After all, Jiang Yanli was not dead and had a grandson. They felt that it didn't matter if they didn't know other things.

Originally, Wei Wuxian wanted to tell Jiang Cheng some things in this world, but those experiences were too tragic and he felt unable to open his mouth. Fortunately, Lan Zhan discovered in time that the soul-locking bag containing the sword spirit had made a noise, and the three of them followed the guidance of the sword spirit and quickly arrived at a charity cemetery.

Charity cemeteries are very common in Yicheng, and black iron coffins are also very common. After all, most of the people who collect corpses in Yicheng are monks, and they are monks who died in mass graves. The people who do these coffin-collecting work often choose to use black iron coffins to bury people from aristocratic families, and wait for people from the aristocratic families to come and take the bodies away. Naturally, they will also ask for a reward.

Most of those independent cultivators don't have much money, but most of the items on their bodies are worth some money, so the people in these charity cemeteries are more willing to take in independent cultivators for burial.

The three followed the sword spirit to an abandoned charity cemetery in the city. There was nothing inside except a ruined scene. However, Jiang Cheng noticed that the color of the floor tiles in one place in the lobby was darker than the surrounding tiles. He picked up the Three Poisons and knocked on it, and sure enough, he heard the sound of a hollow drum inside.

Wei Wuxian and Lan Zhan tacitly moved aside, and Jiang Cheng directly split the floor tiles with a sword. When the smoke and dust cleared, a black iron coffin appeared on the cracked ground.

The three were just about to go over to check it out, when they saw a man in black quickly appear. Just when everyone was about to draw their swords, he grabbed something from beside the black iron coffin and was about to run away.

Jiang Cheng's cultivation was the best in the world. It was true that the opponent escaped fast, but his sword was not slow either. A burst of sword energy cut off one of the opponent's arms. However, the man was so ruthless that he just shook his body and did not delay his escape. He disappeared in front of everyone in a few seconds.

Because of Wei Wuxian, Jiang Cheng and Lan Zhan did not think of chasing after him. Wei Wuxian carefully examined the arm and saw that underneath the black clothes was a plain white material embroidered with moon-white auspicious cloud patterns. Lan Zhan was sure at a glance that the person was a disciple of the Lan family, but Wei Wuxian could see some worry on his expressionless face.

Wei Wuxian comforted Lan Zhan, “The world is unpredictable, and people’s hearts are hard to predict. What we can be sure of right now is that someone has refined the Yin Tiger Talisman again. As long as we follow the clues we already have, we won’t be afraid of not getting any clues.”

Lan Zhan and Wei Wuxian worked together to push open the black iron coffin, only to see a ragged and headless corpse inside. Wei Wuxian was about to look through the corpse to find some information about the other party's identity, but the sword spirit released by Lan Zhan fell into the coffin and landed next to the corpse, transforming into a fierce sword that the three of them were familiar with - the Ba Xia sword worn by Nie Mingjue, the leader of the Qinghe Nie clan.

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but say, "I heard before that Sect Master Nie Mingjue had disappeared, and only Nie Huaisang was barely holding up the Nie Clan, but I didn't expect Sect Master Nie to encounter such an accident."

Wei Wuxian also felt a little sad. When he was alive, he had seen Nie Mingjue as the new leader of the immortals with great fanfare. After his death, he was saved by Mo Xuanyu's sacrifice. However, he did not expect that Nie Mingjue was assassinated and beheaded, and even his body was sealed in a black iron coffin and suppressed in the charity cemetery.

Originally, Wei Wuxian wanted to cast a spell to empathize with Nie Mingjue again, but Lan Zhan stopped him and told him not to use such a method that would damage his body and mind. Jiang Cheng also felt that this method was not good, but Nie Mingjue's broken spiritual consciousness seemed to have returned to his body and guided people to discover that he had met with an accident. Now it had almost dissipated, and Jiang Cheng could only collect a little bit with his quick hands and eyes.

The three of them were at a loss, and because the Yin Tiger Talisman had reappeared in the world, Wei Wuxian suggested going to the nearby Tanzhou to have a look. "Back then, a flower-growing girl appeared in Tanzhou, and we also obtained a Yin Iron here. I remember that I did destroy the Yin Tiger Talisman made from the Yin Iron. Now someone is using the Yin Iron to re-forge the Yin Tiger Talisman. I'm sure they will go find the person who had the Yin Iron back then."

Lan Zhan and Jiang Cheng had no objections. Anyway, there were no more clues at the moment, so they might as well go to Tanzhou to take a look.
