[Chen Qingling] The old man sighs

Lan Wangji stood in front of him, Wei Wuxian tugged at his sleeves, hugging him with his whole body, panting lightly with trembling voices.

Seeing the actions of the two, Jiang Cheng felt a chill, and moved a few steps away, getting a little further away from the two, but his expression and movements were slightly disappointed.

In the past, when Wei Wuxian saw a dog, he helped drive it away, but now...

Seeing Wei Wuxian avoiding it like this, the fairy drooped his head with a sluggish expression. Jiang Cheng walked up to it, bent down, and said with disgust, "How did you do this? Look at you! Where is Jin Ling? ?”

The fairy was disgusted, and lowered her head even lower. It whimpered twice, but couldn't make a sound.

Lan Wangji helplessly stretched out his hand to support Wei Wuxian's body to prevent him from falling, and then said, "Close your throat."

Hearing the words, Wei Wuxian forced himself to look at the fairy, and said, "Sealing the throat? Is it similar to your family's silence technique?"

Lan Wangji nodded, and after a long silence, he said, "Speech suppression is supplemented by spiritual power, and it has no effect on people after the practice. But sealing the throat requires the help of external objects, which has a great impact."

Wei Wuxian's eyes turned cold, and he exchanged a glance with Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng's eyes were already filled with anger, and as soon as he understood what Wei Wuxian meant, he stretched out his hand to grope in front of the fairy's throat.

Jiang Cheng's expression became colder and colder.

"How?" Wei WuXian frowned, "Did you get it?"

Jiang Cheng remained silent, his expression paused, and with a forceful movement of both hands, Fairy twisted her neck and struggled painfully a few times. Two slender silver needles were pulled out from its throat, and a drop of red pimple hung from the sharp tip of the needle. blood beads.

"It's really unreasonable!" Wei Wuxian jumped out from behind Lan Wangji, ignoring his fear, "Who is this person who would do something like this to a dog?"

The fairy squatted on one side, although there was no obstruction in her throat, she let out a few hoarse roars.

"No matter who it is, if he dares to touch someone from my Jiang family, I will definitely make him regret it." Jiang Cheng revealed a mocking smile, biting these words between his teeth, "Even if he touches my Jiang family dog, I will make that person pay back ten times as well."

He failed to protect Wei Wuxian 13 years ago, and this incident has always been a thorn in his heart. This thorn stuck in his chest, and it hurt bloody when he moved.

It was already dawn when the few people left the mansion. They wandered around the mansion for a few times, but they didn't find any clues about Jin Ling. However, this trip was not in vain. They found the children in the town.

It didn't disappear, but was placed under house arrest.

Although the freedom of those children was restricted, there was no sign of being abused at all. What's even weirder was that these children seemed to be captured by someone, and one or two of them wore weird smiles.

Wei WuXian looked startled, he turned his eyes to look at Lan WangJi, "Lan Zhan, who are these children?"

The three of them stood by the window and peeped in through the crack of the door. Lan Wangji moved away a little, "They're fine, but their consciousness is temporarily controlled."

Jiang Cheng said, "Those people in the town, why are the parents of these children not responding to this?"

Wei Wuxian was also thinking about this matter. He rested his chin in one hand and turned the statement with the other, and said for a while, "Obviously they know about this, and they put the children here voluntarily. Most of the time, these children are safe. Yes. So, our most important task right now is to find Jin Ling first."

In order not to startle the snake, Jiang Cheng asked the fairy to go back to the original place, but they didn't know where Jin Ling was hidden, so he had to wait until the sacrifice to make plans.

Two days later, the priest prayed for rain.

This sacrificial ceremony was extraordinarily grand. A group of people carried the sacrificial offerings and dragged a long line, blowing and beating all the way, and behind the line were the children who were imprisoned in the mansion.These children were uniformly dressed in bright red robes, with weird smiles on their faces, more like sacrifices than sacrifices.

It was dark by the end of the day.

The black cloud was very low, and a group of crows fluttered their wings and flew up in shock. It was dark and noisy.

The two carriages parked quietly by the river, and the ceremony began. The people in the town knelt on the ground, chanting words.

Wei Wuxian leaned against the tree, one leg bent, his black boots swaying slightly in mid-air, Lan Wangji stood beside him, even standing on the tree, he was still as tall and straight as a pine, with incomparable dignity.

Not only did Wei WuXian take a few extra glances, he paused for a few seconds before tapping on the tree trunk with Chen Qing, and pointing to the ground, "Jiang Cheng, did you see the carriage on the ground?"

Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes and looked over, "You mean Jin Ling will be in the carriage?"

Wei Wuxian didn't speak, because the river began to churn, and the mist filled the air, and the people beat gongs and drums and threw sacrifices into the water.

The curtain of the carriage was raised, and a bride wearing a red wedding gown and a red hijab stepped out of the carriage. Wei Wuxian was taken aback, no, why not Jin Ling, is this a marriage or a sacrifice?

Or is it just the river god getting married?What are you doing this is!

Jiang Cheng was also taken aback, Lan Wangji was the calmest of the three, he looked down at the bride who was walking towards the river bank, his light-colored eyes flashed in thought.

Wei Wuxian glanced at Lan Wangji, followed Lan Wangji's gaze, and something flashed through his mind, "No, the bride is probably Jin Ling!"

Jiang Cheng: "What! How is it possible, how could Jin Ling be the bride?"

Lan Wangji said: "Yes or no, you will find out when you go down!"

When Jiang Cheng flew down, the first thing he did was grab the bride's arm, stretched out his hand and lifted the hijab, who was the face that was revealed if it wasn't Jin Ling?

Jin Ling's eyes were blurred, as if he didn't know the two of them, he turned around and wanted to walk into the river.

"Jin Ling, wake up," Wei WuXian rushed over a few steps, reaching out to check his spiritual consciousness, "The situation is not right, Jiang Cheng, you take him away first, I will break up with Hanguang-Jun."

Suddenly, three people appeared out of nowhere, and the people were shocked, and there was a mess, and the sacrificial scene was in chaos.

Jin Ling was still struggling, Jiang Cheng nodded slightly, put one hand on Jin Ling's shoulder, and was just about to leave when a man laughed from another carriage and said coldly, "You guys have to go Okay, leave Jin Ling to me."

Hearing this voice, Jiang Cheng was startled, "It was him!"

Wei Wuxian vaguely felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was, so he asked, "Who is it?"

Lan Wangji took a few steps forward, and explained softly, "Qin Cangye, Jin Guangshan's old subordinate for many years."

"Hanguang-jun is here too?" The carriage shook, and the curtain was raised, revealing a middle-aged man's face with gray temples.The face looked a little old, weather-beaten. "Qin seems to have a lot of face."

Lan Wangji looked at him, but didn't speak.

Jiang Cheng didn't have such a good temper, "Sect Master Qin, aren't you going to explain what's going on? What do you want to do to Jin Ling?"

"Didn't Sect Master Jiang see what I want?" Qin Cangye suddenly became ruthless, "I want him to die."

His eyes were red, like a wild beast out of control, "Jin Guangshan is insane and has done such things, why should I let his descendants live in this world."

"Sect Master Qin," Wei Wuxian knew of their grievances, "Jin Ling is just a child. When these things happened, he hadn't even been born yet! Why should the grievances of your previous generation be attributed to your children?"

"Why do you ask me?" Qin Cangye pointed at Jin Ling and said, "My wife and my daughter all died on their family. Why do you ask me? Let me tell you, just because his surname is Jin! "

Hearing these words suddenly, Wei Wuxian's eyes moved, and images from many years ago flooded into his mind again.

Those people said, "Just because their surname is Wen."

He took a deep breath, feeling that his chest was tight and he was about to be out of breath.
