【Xue Xiao】Desolate City Crossing

Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji looked at each other across the air, and asked cautiously, "How do you know?"

Xue Yang chewed a piece of meat, carelessly: "Not only I know, but the Taoist priest and the tomb robber who went upstairs just now also know that someone anonymously told you the location of this organization and asked you to help get rid of it."

Xiao Xingchen and Lan Wangji returned to the table and sat down.

"Okay, little rascal, don't be fooled," Wei Wuxian pulled a plate of braised beef off the table, leaving Xue Yang's chopsticks empty, "Be honest, where did you get the information from?"

Xue Yang turned around very dissatisfied, picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, then pointed the tip of the chopsticks up to the upstairs.

Xiao Xingchen said: "Young Master Wei, the person who anonymously reported is that little brother who went upstairs just now."

By the time Xue Yang was eight percent full, the other three had almost finished exchanging the information they knew about the Duoshe organization.

It turned out that when Chen Xibao seized the house and fled, the two people he was following had not yet reached Lanling, so he only knew from a few words that the nest of this organization was in Lanling, with about a hundred people, but he didn't know where they gathered or contacted.

After Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji received the anonymous letter, they continued to investigate for nearly three months, before they finally found out from the clues the old lair of the Duoshe organization in Lanling City, and eliminated two or three groups of people from the Duoshe organization in the past few days.

Speaking of this paragraph, Wei Wuxian was very aggrieved: "Most of those people have superficial cultivation, and Lan Zhan and I will be defeated if we attack them for a while, but they are good at running away. They are amazingly used, and a few of them can use teleportation talismans. Hundreds of people can solve it at once, but they can't resist their fast running. It took me and Lan Zhan half a month to eliminate them. Seventy or eighty."

Xiao Xingchen also has a little understanding of this point. When he rescued Chen Xibao outside the city, the house-robbing gang just went for the best plan and disappeared in an instant.

"What about the leader of the organization? Has it also been eliminated?"

"That's the trouble," Wei Wuxian sighed, "After Lan Zhan and I captured the two leaders of the organization yesterday, we only guarded against them using the teleportation talisman, but we didn't expect them to commit suicide by taking poison."

"I'm afraid it's not suicide, but running away." Xue Yang raised his brows slightly, not without ridicule: "For them, seizing homes is a common thing. I don't know how many times they have done it. Die once is nothing more than changing a body."

Wei Wuxian said: "The little rascal is pretty smart. I wanted to find out about that strange fragrance, oh, it's what you call 'soul-scenting fragrance'. I wanted to know the source of this fragrance. They planned to interrogate them carefully, but they didn't notice for a while and let them escape by committing suicide. However, they were attacked by Lan Zhan's piano sound, and their spirit bodies were damaged. OK."

Xue Yang thought of the two people who also knew the method of making the incense stick 20 years ago, and asked, "What are the names of those two bosses?"

Wei Wuxian said: "I don't know the names, only the code names, one is called 'Hall Master Diao' and the other is 'Hall Master Eagle'."

Two strange code names.

Xue Yang put down his chopsticks and thought to himself. If those two people from the past were reborn, their voices and appearances would change, and their names and surnames would also be changed. Whether it was someone he knew before could only be confirmed by seeing their souls with their own eyes. It is impossible to know.

Xiao Xingchen said righteously: "Since they are the leaders of the organization, the source of the dementing incense must be inseparable from these two people. It is really pungent and vicious to ignore human life like this for selfish gain. It is a pity that they escaped like this. Is it hard to find traces in the future?"

"It's not that there are no clues at all," Wei Wuxian said as he took out a scroll from his sleeve, and unfolded it was a map: "Judging from the information we have seized so far, it's true that Lanling is the organization's lair, and there are other places like this organization." To be precise, this group of seizing houses should not be called an organization, because out of confidentiality, the connection between the various branches is not close, and there is almost no contact. Fortunately, the first place we found by mistake was Lan Lingling, only Lanling, collects a large amount of funds from various branches every year, and then provides them with dementing incense on a regular basis."

Xiao Xingchen took the map and saw that in addition to the regular signs, there were seven or eight red dots here and there. Except for the area under the Gusu Lan clan, the house-robbing gang was located in the Lanling Jin clan, Yunmeng Jiang clan, etc. , there are strongholds distributed in the Qinghe Nie's territory.He couldn't help but glanced at Lan Wangji with a stern face in admiration. Among the Xindao Xianmen family, it was indeed the most upright and strict under the Lan family's rule, so much so that this group of house-robbers that scourges everywhere and erodes the world like locusts in the field is the only one who doesn't Dare to make a mistake on the Lan family's territory.

"Little uncle, this is the secret map we seized from the two hall masters. It shows the detailed addresses of all the strongholds. Since these points are purchased from Lanling, they should be related to the two organization leaders. There is something to do with it, we follow the clues and investigate one by one, maybe we can track down the traces of those two people."

At this moment, Lan Wangji glanced at Wei Wuxian and didn't say anything. Wei Wuxian knew that his companion had the same idea as him, so he proposed: "Little uncle, if you are free, can you help us? I can tell which ones are those who have been reborn after taking over the house. If you can help me, Lan Zhan and I won’t have to bother to find others. To be honest, I don’t like dealing with those immortal sects the most! But the distribution of the gang’s strongholds The scope is too wide. I only rely on Lan Zhan and I to go here and there. I am afraid that the speed will be too slow, and the night will be long and dreamy. We had better find out the whereabouts of the eagle and the eagle before they are reborn. This organization has come back from the ashes."

Xiao Xingchen had long heard that Wei Wuxian was a free-spirited person, and had many conflicts with the Immortal School. If it was not necessary, he absolutely did not want to have contact with those people. In this regard, he was somewhat similar to Xue Yang. No wonder Xue Yang always talks about Wei Wuxian with relish.

Eliminating evil spirits, Xiao Xingchen regards it as his own responsibility. When he received the entrustment, he naturally agreed without hesitation. This matter will take a few months, so don't rush it. It will take three days to send Chen Xibao from Lanling back to Xuzhou. Well, there is no conflict in time with this matter,

Xue Yang glanced at the map: "It just so happens that these strongholds can be connected to form two north-south routes. The two of you go one way, and the Taoist leader and I go one way. We will act separately, and the efficiency will be doubled."

In fact, Xue Yang is not very interested in exterminating the Duoshe organization, he is only curious about the people who know the secret of the dementing incense, but since Xiao Xingchen wants to pursue it, he naturally follows, and such a plan, it seems that he and Xiao Xingchen are advancing and retreating together , just like Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji, he couldn't help but secretly elated.

Xue Yang was in high spirits: "How is it? Daoist?"

Xiao Xingchen carefully studied the map, his thoughts were racing, his heart was filled with righteous indignation, he was thinking about so many strongholds, after so many years of operation, how many people have been harmed by the Duoshe organization and the soul-hunting incense?He didn't notice any strangeness in Xue Yang's words, but Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji exchanged a clear look.

"Wei Gongzi Hanguang-jun, what do you think of this proposal? If we split up, it will indeed be faster. The people in those organizations are not high-level, so it is no problem to deal with dozens of them at once. Besides, arresting people is secondary now, and the movement is too much." Instead, the big ones are scaring the snakes, what we need now is to collect the existing dementor incense in their hands, and to spy on the traces of the two bosses."

Lan Wangji nodded lightly, and Wei Wuxian clapped his hands: "Okay, little uncle, let's plan and confirm our respective routes and responsible bases. If possible, Lan Zhan and I want to go south. How about you? Just be in charge of the north."

The four of them spread out the map on the table next to them, pointed around the map, and roughly planned the two north-south routes, but Xiao Xingchen showed embarrassment.

"What's the matter, little master?"

"These strongholds are far apart, and flying with the sword is a must. But now I only have an ordinary saber, which is barely usable, but the speed... I'm afraid it will take a lot of delay."

"This..." Wei Wuxian regretted for a moment, looked thoughtfully at his quiet partner beside him, Lan Wangji remained silent, and took out a long sword from Qiankun's sleeve. Unsheathing almost made the whole room a little darker.

"Disaster?!"

Xiao Xingchen and Xue Yang were surprised together.

Disaster Reduction was Xue Yang's close-fitting sword during his lifetime, and it has been used for more than ten years, and it is quite smooth.After his death, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji took the sword away, and he never saw it again, so he misses it very much.

Lan Wangji said lightly, "It has been purified."

That is to say, the evil spirit on the sword has been purified, but this sword still makes people feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts.

"This sword kills people and drinks blood. It is tainted with too much resentment. After Lan Zhan and I purified it, we still dare not give it to others easily. Little uncle, when you came out of Shuanghua, you shocked the world, and your heart was pure and kind. If anyone can control this sword, then it must be you, this sword is a good sword, it just depends on who uses it."

Xiao Xingchen took the sword and looked it over carefully. It was indeed a good sword. It weighed much more than his Shuanghua in his hand. There was no extra decoration. Good and evil.According to legend, this sword turned out to be the sword of Taoist Yanling, who was also a master of Baoshan, and after leaving the mountain, he became a famous fairy in the righteous way.But later, I don’t know what happened, my temperament changed drastically, and I suddenly became a murderous devil. This sword is also known as "Rescue Disaster", but I don’t know how it fell into Xue Yang’s hands. Accumulated a compelling evil spirit.

Wei Wuxian said: "Perhaps my little uncle can justify the name of this sword. From now on, there will be no 'sending (jiang) disaster' in the world, only 'sending (xiang) disaster', wouldn't it be wonderful?"

Even so, it is disrespectful.Xiao Xingchen stood up and saluted: "Thank you for the gift."

"The Taoist priest thanked them for what they did. I have used this sword for more than ten years. It is my sword!"

Xue Yang couldn't get his sword back in his hands, but Xue Yang was not unhappy, and even said happily, "I am also willing to give this sword to the Taoist priest. It is a thank you to the Taoist priest for walking with me."

Xiao Xingchen didn't refute this, and he nodded his head lightly even though what he said was reasonable.

"Mr. Wei, the sword problem has been solved, but there is still one problem. The road is long and there are many points. How should we contact each other in time when we have new discoveries?"

"Ah, this little uncle, don't worry."

Wei Wuxian took out a square animal skin, used water as ink to write and draw on it, then tore the animal skin in half, handed one half to Xiao Xingchen, and kept the other half in his hands.

Xiao Xingchen was full of doubts and asked to take it, only to see Wei Wuxian draw a few random strokes on the half of the animal skin in his hand, he suddenly felt the animal skin in his hand was slightly warm, and when he took a closer look, there were a few protruding spots on the half of the animal skin in his hand. Comparing the dazzled strokes with the one in Wei Wuxian's hand, the strokes were exactly the same. After a while, the animal skin returned to normal temperature, and the strokes on it also disappeared.

"I knew that Mr. Wei was resourceful and good at inventing exquisite magic weapons, but seeing him today, his reputation is indeed well-deserved."

Xue Yang took the animal skin from Xiao Xingchen, looked left and right, and also praised sincerely: "Interesting."

Wei Wuxian smiled and said, "With this thing, no matter how far the distance is, you can send messages conveniently. Now the little uncle has nothing to worry about, right?"

After discussing business matters, it was getting late, and they decided to set off on their own tomorrow. Wei Wuxian ordered eight dishes, large and small, and two jugs of wine, as a farewell farewell to each other, and wished each other success in eradicating evil.
