[Forget Envy] Short Story - The Bell of the Soul

When Lan Wangji returned from the Yimiao to Yunshen, it was already an hour after Wei Wuxian returned to his soul, and Jiang Cheng hadn't left yet. When he stepped into the dark room, Jiang Cheng looked at him and said Lan Wangji didn't give Lan Wangji a good look, but he didn't say anything.

Lan Wangji called out: "Brother!"

Lan Xichen saw that his face was pale and there were bloodstains on his body, and he said worriedly, "Wangji! You were injured? Why don't you come back after resting for a while?"

Lan Wangji shook his head, "I've rested."

Lan Wangji quietly sat next to Wei Wuxian, seeing that his face had returned to color slightly, his soul should have returned to its place successfully, he raised his lukewarm hand to check, the pulse was smooth and smooth, which made Lan Wangji feel relieved Dashi.

Lan Wangji's eyes fell on the ring on Wei Wuxian's finger, he raised his head deeply and sincerely, looked directly at Jiang Cheng, nodded slightly and said, "Thank you!"

Jiang Cheng lowered his head, turned his face away and said, "Huh! I didn't pay anything, and I didn't help anything, and the one who should say thank you should be him... If he wakes up, tell him, don't die so casually , it doesn’t make people worry about dying.”

The word "Zai" in Jiang Cheng's words had a particularly strong tone, and Lan Wangji understood it.

Lan Xichen asked, "Where's the soul-destroying bell?"

Lan Wangji said: "You Sizhui will hand it over to my uncle. The existence of the Suopo Soul Bell is too dangerous. Maybe the elders of the clan will be responsible for sealing it or even destroying it."

Jiang Cheng stood up and said coldly: "The best solution is to destroy it. You don't know where you are in the deep clouds, and you may not be safe." He stopped in front of the black door of the dark chamber as he left, and said, "I will deposit the purple electricity first. Here, don't lose it!"

After Jiang Cheng left the Nether Chamber, Lan Xichen said: "Sect Master Jiang is actually very concerned about Wuxian. After you left, he has been sending spiritual power to him. When he sensed that the fluctuations of the soul were concentrated in a certain place, Without hesitation, he put Zidian on his hand."

Lan Wangji responded lightly: "I know!"

Lan Xichen stood up and said, "Although Zidian blocked most of the damage, Wuxian's spirit was not lightly wounded, and he won't wake up in a short time, you should go back and rest first!"

Lan Wangji asked, "Brother...will Wei Ying wake up?"

Lan Xichen paused for a while before saying, "Yes! Don't worry."

After finishing speaking, Lan Xichen left the Nether Chamber, leaving Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian alone in it. Lan Wangji held Wei Wuxian's hand and slowly channeled his spiritual power. His chest was still stuffy, and Hun Ling's palm, through the barrier of his body, could still hurt his primordial spirit. One can think of Wei Wuxian, who was directly injured, how badly he was hurt at this moment?Lan Wangji didn't dare to imagine, he was afraid that the more he thought about it, the more chilling he would be.

After transferring the spiritual power for a while, Lan Wangji took a seat and adjusted his breath. After all, returning to the soul technique consumes a lot of spiritual power, and he couldn't continue to consume it like this. Coupled with the discomfort in his chest, he had to stop.

Suddenly, a pair of hands stretched out from behind silently, covering Lan Wangji's eyes, and asked with a naughty voice, "Guess who I am?"

Lan Wangji was startled, and wanted to reach out to lift the hand covering his eyes, but the person behind said: "No cheating!"

"infant!"

A cheerful laugh came from behind, and then he let go of his hands, and hugged Lan Wangji from behind: "Hahahahaha...it's really easy to guess, thanks to the fact that I thought of many ideas to punish you..."

Feeling the person behind him, Lan Wangji laughed so hard that his body twitched slightly, and then a burst of warmth flowed into his heart, as if the smile could be contagious.

Lan Wangji opened his eyes, and what he saw was not a dark dark room, but a place full of flowers and spring.

The blue sky and light thin clouds are accompanied by the refreshing breeze. The warm sun shines on the mountains, and there are pavilions and small buildings in the distance. , all melt into it, people can't help but be fascinated by it.

"It's not bad, right? This is the world of the soul-destroying bell. It's a bit like the effect of that incense burner. Thanks to you guys who didn't destroy the copper bell, I can temporarily use this place to recuperate."

Lan Wangji saw the black hair blown by the wind on his shoulders, Wei Wuxian leaned against Lan Wangji's back, put his head on his back shoulder, wrapped his arms around Lan Wangji's waist with one hand, and reached out to him with the other. stroking his chest, and said, "Are you feeling better?"

The stuffy and clogged blood in his chest just now seemed to be calmed down all of a sudden: "It's okay."

"You are so careless. It's not like your style. It scared me just now."

Lan Wangji wanted to stretch out his hand to pull him, but Wei Wuxian hugged him even tighter: "Don't...don't look at me for now, I'm ugly right now...really ugly..."

Lan Wangji stretched out his hand to tightly grasp the hand caressing his chest and said, "You..."

Wei WuXian changed the subject, he pointed forward, "Look, she is Wen Jing, Wen Ning's cousin."

Lan Wangji looked forward, and he saw the woman transformed by the Duopo Soul Bell. Wen Jing noticed that Lan Wangji was looking in her direction, shrank back in fear, and hid behind a tree .

Wei Wuxian smiled and said, "Don't scare her, I will purify this soul before sending her away."

Lan Wangji withdrew his hostility a little, and said, "She was not transformed by the Duosoulhunling."

"No, she is a poor person whose soul was taken away by Duosoulhunling. The Wen family thought she was dead, so they disposed of the body. It was too late after the warmth found out, so she could only assimilate with Duosoulhunling. This is what I know from her remaining memories.”

"Lan Zhan, do you know? It turned out that I met her at the archery conference in Qishan. She said she liked me. Do you know how I would answer her? I said I don't like women who cry, but she actually took pear blossoms on the spot. Yu's crying startled me, and I promised her that I would try not to make her cry when we meet next time, so she stopped crying..."

Wei Wuxian chuckled, and then said a little disappointed: "Although I admitted that I forgot about her, I didn't expect that after that time, I would never be able to see her again."

Lan Wangji's tone was a bit cold: "Do you always like to tease people like this?"

Wei Wuxian was a bit dumbfounded: "Lan Zhan, don't be jealous. At that time, everyone didn't like Wen, so I made her cry on purpose. I wasn't teasing her, and I didn't plan to see her again, but it's really thanks to her now. Only she and Duopohunling can touch you, so I want to help her leave!"

"..."

"So, can you bring me the Reaper's Bell? I still need it."

"Okay, I'm going to ask my uncle."

"Second brother Lan, you said before that you would agree to all my requests, is it still count?"

"Hmm! Have I ever rejected you?"

Wei WuXian gently kissed Lan WangJi's earlobe: "Then go back to the quiet room to rest obediently, if you stay by my side like this, your uncle will get angry again, and you know he doesn't like me very much, so don't ask me to do it again." make him angry."

"But..."

"What's wrong? Want to regret it so soon?"

"No! I'm going back to rest."

Wei Wuxian kissed him again as a reward: "Good boy! Although I won't see you for the time being, I will be by your side and will not leave you alone. When I am able to open my eyes, I will be the first one." I'll let you know, okay? And tell Wen Ning to wake up, he looks so ugly, your uncle will quarrel with me again, I don't want to suffer when I wake up."

"..."

"Hanguang-jun?"

"I see."

Wei Wuxian let go of his hand, Lan Wangji felt the pressure behind his back gradually disappearing, he turned his head quickly, the scene in front of him went dark, his vision returned to the dark room, and he looked back at the still quietly lying on the magic circle Wei Wuxian, with his eyes closed tightly, showed no sign of waking up, was he dreaming just now?

He stretched out his hand to caress Qishun's chest, the slightly warm earlobe seemed to be still there.

Lan Wangji shook Wei Wuxian's hand and said, "Then I'll go back first, and come back tomorrow!"

Then he stood up, added lamp oil to the soul gathering lamp, and ensured that it could burn for at least twelve hours before leaving the chamber, and he did not forget to write a seal on the door after leaving.

Lan Wangji turned around and stepped down the dark room. After walking a few steps, he saw Wen Ning kneeling at the bottom of the stairs.

Wen Ning hadn't followed Lan Wangji into Yunshen before, because he was afraid of scaring others, but he was sneaking back and forth in the woods outside the door, which seemed even more eye-catching, so Lan Xichen asked I let him in, and he just knelt down like this. No wonder Wei Wuxian said he was ugly just now, so he was referring to this matter...

Lan Wangji continued to walk down the stairs, and said to Wen Ning, "Get up!"

Wen Ning lowered his head and remained silent.

Lan Wangji said, "Wei Ying asked me to wake you up."

Wen Ning heard this, raised his head and asked, "Master, are you awake?"

Lan Wangji shook his head: "Not yet, he used another method to tell me, it's ugly..."

Wen Ning was stunned, and seemed to stand up clearly, and then took his steps. Lan Wangji's eyes moved with his movements, seeing Wen Ning turn into a dark place in the turret, looking east and west several times to confirm what he was doing. After standing in an inconspicuous and unobstructed place, he knelt down again.

Lan Wangji could only be speechless...
