【Forget Envy】Make a Wish

"Question: Why did it die, Answer: The bait"

"Question: What is the bait for? Answer: Gu carving"

"Question: Where is the Gu carving now? Answer: The deepest part of the cave"

Wei Wuxian rested his chin on his right hand and thought about it, his back swishing coldly, "The people in Qingcheng are all from Qingcheng. There are so many of them, at least enough to last them for decades. There is a reason why people from Qingcheng suddenly disappeared."

After listening to Wei Wuxian's analysis, Lan Wangji continued to play the piano.

"Question: Who locked you here, Answer: "..." No answer.

"I don't know who was put here to feed the gu carvings, these people are really wronged," Wei Wuxian sighed.

Lan Wangji nodded, put away the piano, and pulled Wei Wuxian forward.

The roads in the cave lead in all directions, and Wei Wuxian, relying on that familiar feeling, distinguishes each fork in the road. It has to be said that there is enough resentment at each fork in the road, but there is always one road that can come out on top.

Just like this, he walked to the depths in a jerk and eight turns, and suddenly stopped. Wei Wuxian dared not say if it was the deepest part of the cave, but this place is definitely the place with the most resentment. The white bones piled up here form a white wall. These bones looked like they had been there for many years, Lan Wangji couldn't help frowning, even if his spiritual power was as deep as his, it wouldn't be comfortable, let alone Wei Wuxian, but at this time Wei Wuxian looked at the place like a normal person. Look at that, Lan Wangji grabbed his hand and lost some spiritual power to him. Although it can't solve the actual problem, it can at least make Wei Wuxian feel better.

"Okay, my second elder brother Lan, we are in his lair now, so we need to save some spiritual power. I'm fine, the ancestor Yiling is here, these are my thousands of horses hahaha" said Wei Wuxian patted Chen Qing pinned to his waist.

"It's not that I don't believe in your strength." Lan Wangji said slowly, lowering his head and staring at the hand that was giving him spiritual power.

The white bones blocked his view, so Wei Wuxian simply jumped to the top of the pile of bones, only to realize that one pile was taller than the other.He turned his head and waved to Lan Wangji, and Lan Wangji jumped up to join him.

Wei Wuxian curled his lips and asked, "We're going to skip, are you ready?"

Lan Wangji put his left arm around Wei Wuxian's waist, and jumped to the highest point after a couple of hops.As soon as he stood firmly, Wei Wuxian began to look around. He was tall enough, but Bichen's light was limited.

Wei Wuxian picked up Chen Qing, and blew on it for a while, green lights appeared one after another in the pile of bones, in every corner, and the area was getting bigger and bigger.

"Oh my god, how big is this place? No, how many people have died here?" Wei Wuxian exclaimed as he looked at the spirit slowly starting to light up centered on him.

"... Slaughtering the City" Lan Wangji slowly said his inner guess.

"Go, go over there." Wei Wuxian pointed to a place, and Lan Wangji took him there with one leap.

He pulled Lan Wangji to find the ground and squatted down, passing through the gap between the stacked bones. Not far ahead, there was a big thing with its back facing them. It was golden in color, with a pair of wings on its back, and the ends of the wings were dotted with light blue. The feathers are particularly conspicuous, undulating, breathing?

...Live, is it an animal?

It's a Gu carving! !

The vicinity of this Gu carving is open.There is no cover.Now Wei Wuxian is in a difficult situation, how can he get close?He still doesn't know the correct usage of the Gu sculpture, if he acts rashly, there will be nowhere to find such an expensive Gu sculpture.

When Wei Wuxian was worrying, Lan Wangji saw a skeleton in a corner not far from the Gu sculpture, which was different from the other skeletons here.Lan Wangji touched Wei Wuxian's hand, motioning him to look into the corner.

Wei Wuxian followed his gaze, and saw that it was a relatively well-preserved corpse, and it looked like it had died less than a year ago.Wait, Wei Wuxian frowned slightly, why does this corpse look a little different from the others?What is the difference?

……clothing! !

The clothes are different, the one in the corner is well dressed.As for the other bones, the clothes have been torn, and most of them are rotten.

And there was only one corpse in the corner, which was a bit strange.

Wei Wuxian wanted to go over to have a look, Lan Wangji knew what he was thinking, but the skeleton was almost face to face with the Gu carving, how could he sneak over?

Wei Wuxian approached Lan Wangji and whispered in Lan Wangji's ear, "Lan Zhan, I want to push down the bone pile at the front and try to block the corners and the empty part between the gu carvings as much as possible, but the noise is too loud. What will happen."

With the skills of the two of them, as long as they make gestures, it is necessary.But Lan Wangji didn't know why he took the risk of disturbing the gu carvings, and went to the corner to see the bones first.Since he didn't know, Lan Wangji chose to follow his rhythm. He believed that Wei Wuxian had his own intentions.

"It's doable, after knocking it down, wait for the Gu Eagle to be quiet before sneaking in," Lan Wangji said.

After reaching a consensus, Wei Wuxian first hid in a place covered by a rock wall behind him. After a loud noise, Lan Wangji flashed in front of him, and Wei Wuxian hugged him and turned around.Both of them pricked up their ears to hear the movement of the Gu Eagle.Without the expected madness, the Gu Diao just screamed, and after a while it returned to its original position.

Wei Wuxian stretched out his head, glanced at it, and said contemptuously, "This is really lazy, such a big movement, it's like getting up, stretching and yawning."

After waiting for a while, the two sneaked into the corner, and it went smoothly.

Right now there is no way to ask Ling, the sound of the zither will inevitably startle Gu Diao, the only way now is - empathy.

【Forget Envy】Fulfilling Wish ④ Empathy

empathy.

Lan Wangji frowned a little, empathy was exhausting, and with Wei Wuxian's current physical condition, it wasn't the best policy.But Wei Wuxian insisted on this, with firm eyes and repeated assurances, Lan Wangji couldn't shake his head.

Wei WuXian saw that the eyebrows of the people in front of him were twisted into twists and did not object, and said, "Don't worry, I'll go and come back quickly, please trouble the second brother to hold me."

Lan Wangji said reluctantly, "Come back quickly."

Wei Wuxian smiled at him and closed his eyes, his body fell straight into Lan Wangji's embrace.Lan Wangji held his hand tightly, and kissed his brow and eyes.Lan Wangji sat in the corner, put Wei Wuxian on his body, let the person in his arms lean on his shoulder, and tucked the hair behind his ears.

When Wei Wuxian opened his eyes, he was overlooking a city from a mountain. To be precise, the owner of the corpse was standing on the mountain looking at the city.

After looking at it for a while, he raised his foot and walked towards the city. The city gate was guarded by soldiers, and everyone who wanted to enter the city had to go through the guards' interrogation.Wei Wuxian looked up at the words above the city gate - Qingcheng.

Qingcheng, interesting.

"What are you doing?" the guard asked

"Please see the Lord City Master." Wei Wuxian clinging to him heard himself replying.

The guard soldier glanced at his belongings and said, "Just a package?"

"Clothes and food" said he took off the package and opened it to the guards. Inside were a few dry biscuits, some clothes, and a small transparent jar, no bigger than half a palm.

... a glazed jar?Wei Wuxian thought it was so good-looking.

Seeing that there was nothing special, the guard let him in.After entering the city, this person seemed to have a clear goal, and asked about the residence of the city lord along the way.

Wei Wuxian watched him happily asking for directions, and paid attention to his attire. It wasn't dressed as a fairy, nor as a businessman, but it was also dressed in brocade clothes, and his identity couldn't be guessed.

The street market in Qingcheng was bustling with hawkers, and there were silk ribbons hanging on the trees not far away. The fiery trees and silver flowers were so beautiful.

After going around for a while, we finally arrived at our destination.

"Please inform me, I am a doctor, and I want to see the illness of the mayor's wife." He saluted the guard respectfully.

The mayor's wife is sick?This man is a doctor?Wei Wuxian memorized it silently.

The guard quickly went in to report, welcomed him in, and arranged him in a fairly elegant room.Wei WuXian looked around, although the room was quite fresh and elegant, but it still couldn't resist the jewels behind the elegance, looking closely at these ornaments, all of them were made of gold and jade.

Wei Wuxian waited idly for a while, and outside the door, a man of about forty years came in, with a generous and elegant demeanor.

"Mister has been waiting for a long time"

"It's okay, it's just a doctor in the rivers and lakes, the city lord is too famous"

"What's your name?"

"The surname is Li, the word meaning cloud"

"Doctor Li, I don't know how you know that my wife is sick?"

"After hearing about it, I also want to do my best"

"follow me"

The city lord led Dr. Li to the depths of the inner courtyard in a hesitant manner. On the way, he occasionally met a maid holding a box to salute the city lord.Wei Wuxian was curious about the contents of the box, but he couldn't tell why from the outside.

There were a lot of maids in the inner courtyard, most of them were waiting outside the door, and when they were about to enter the door, the city lord gave way to Doctor Li again.There was a woman on the couch, about 30 years old, with a bulging belly.Dr. Li walked over, and the maid received the sign from the city lord, and took his wife's hand out of the quilt.Dr. Li stepped forward to take the pulse, with a serious expression on his face.

The city lord couldn't stand still, he paced back and forth, completely changed from the appearance when he first met, and asked, "How is it?"

Dr. Li closed his eyes and said slowly: "Ma'am is suffering from loss of energy and blood, and there should be night sweats at night. The fetus is underdeveloped, and I may not be able to give birth. If this drags on, I am afraid that Madam will also..."

The city lord looked back at the person on the couch, and said slowly: "All the doctors who have seen it say so, God has no mercy."

Dr. Li seemed to consider it for a while, and said: "...the ancient books have recorded that the blood of spirit beasts can still be tried."

"Really? Where?"

"Five hundred miles to the east, it is called Luwu Mountain. There is no vegetation on it, but there are many gold and stones. The water of Zegeng flows out, while the Nanliu flows into the torrential water, and the water has beasts. It is called Gu carving. It looks like a carving with horns. " He paused for a moment, then said again: "It's just... Ma'am doesn't have much time, and it's recorded in ancient books, I haven't seen it before, I'm afraid at this time..." Dr. Li said seriously.
