Extremely brave-II

Lan Wangji didn't look sideways and said, "Nothing."

Wei WuXian said, "We are acquaintances, right? You're so cold, you don't even look at me. Is your leg really okay?"

Lan Wangji said, "Not familiar."

Wei Wuxian turned around and walked backwards, insisting that he see his face, and said, "Don't be brave if something happens. Is your leg injured or broken? When did it happen?"

He was about to say, "Would you like me to carry you?" Suddenly, a gust of fragrant wind hit his nostrils. Wei Wuxian turned around and looked to the side, his eyes suddenly brightened.

Seeing that he suddenly shut up, Lan Wangji followed his gaze. I saw three or five girls walking together. The girl in the middle was wearing a light crimson coat and a layer of gauze. The breeze blows, the gauze clothes are fluttering, and the figure's back is particularly beautiful.

What Wei Wuxian looked at was this back view.

A girl smiled and said: "Mianmian, this sachet of yours is really good. After putting it in, the mosquitoes will stop coming. The smell is also good. When you smell it, you seem to be extra awake."

The girl named Mianmian spoke in a soft, sweet voice: "The sachet is full of chopped medicinal materials, which have many uses. I have a few more here, who of you wants more?"

Wei Wuxian floated over like a gust of wind: "Mianmian, leave one for me too."

The girl was startled. Unexpectedly, the voice of a strange boy suddenly broke in. She turned around and showed a beautiful face behind her. She frowned slightly and said, "Who are you? Why do you also call me Mianmian?"

Wei Wuxian smiled and said, "I heard them all call you Mianmian, and I thought that was your name. Why, isn't it?"

Lan Wangji watched indifferently. Seeing that he was having another attack, Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes.

Mianmian blushed and said, "You are not allowed to call me that!"

Wei Wuxian said, "Why not? Well, how about you tell me your name and I won't call you Mianmian?"

Mianmian said: "Why do I have to tell you when you ask me? Before asking other people's names, I don't give my own name first."

Wei Wuxian said, "My name is easy to say. You remember, my name is 'Yuandao'."

Mianmian Wu secretly recited the name "Yuandao" twice to himself. She couldn't remember which family's young master had this name, but judging from his appearance and demeanor, he didn't look like someone from an unknown family. Looking at Wei Wuxian, the corner of his mouth was filled with emotion. He smiled jokingly, feeling puzzled.

Suddenly, Lan Wangji whispered coldly from the side: "Playing with words."

She suddenly realized that this was meant to tease her, and she stamped her feet angrily: "Who misses you? You are shameless!"

Several girls laughed together and said, "Wei Wuxian, you are so shameless!"

"I've never seen you so annoying!"

"I'm telling you, her name is..."

Mianmian pulled them away and said, "Go, go! You are not allowed to tell him."

Wei Wuxian shouted from behind: "You can go, please give me a sachet! Ignore me? Don't give it? If you don't, I'll find someone to ask your name. Someone will tell me..."

Before he finished shouting, a sachet was thrown from the front and hit him squarely on the chest. Wei Wuxian made an "ouch" sound as if his heart ached. The ribbon of the sachet flew around his fingers and walked back to Lan Wangji. Around me, Yu was turning and laughing. Seeing Lan Wangji's expression getting colder, he asked, "What? You're looking at me like that again. By the way, where did we just talk? Keep talking. How about I carry you?"

Lan Wangji looked at him quietly and said, "Are you acting like a frivolous prodigal to everyone?"

Wei Wuxian thought for a while and said, "It seems so?"

Lan Wangji lowered his eyes, and after a while, he said, "frivolous!"

These two words seemed to be said through gritted teeth, with a bit of inexplicable hatred, and they didn't even bother to give him another glare. Lan Wangji reluctantly walked forward at a faster speed. Seeing that he was trying to be brave again, Wei Wuxian hurriedly said, "Okay. You don't have to walk so fast, I'll just walk." He took three steps in succession and caught up with Jiang Cheng.

Who knew that Jiang Cheng didn't give him a good look either, and said harshly: "You are so boring!"

Wei Wuxian said, "You're not Lan Zhan, so how can you imitate him and say he's bored? His face is smellier than ever today. What's going on with those legs?"

Jiang Cheng said angrily: "You still have time to take care of him, take care of yourself! I don't know what kind of cave entrance Wen Chao, this idiot, drove us to Muxi Mountain to find, or what he was up to. Don't kill him again like last time. Like the dryads, let's surround them and make human shields."

A disciple on the side whispered: "His face is naturally not good-looking. He was burned in Yunshen somewhere last month. You don't know it yet."

Wei Wuxian was shocked when he heard this: "Burn?!"

Jiang Cheng had heard a lot of this kind of thing in the past few days, so he wasn't surprised at all. He said, "The Wen family burned it?"

The disciple said: "You can say that. It can also be said that... the Lan family burned it themselves. The eldest son of the Wen family, Wen Xu, went to Gusu. He didn't know what crime he was convicted of for the head of the Lan family. He forced Gusu Lan to The people of the family started to burn down their own fairy mansion! It was called to clean up the door and be reborn. Most of the Cloud Recesses and the mountains and forests were burned, and the century-old fairyland was destroyed. The head of the Lan family was seriously injured, and his life and death are unknown. well..."

Wei Wuxian asked, "Does Lan Zhan's legs have anything to do with this?"

The disciple said: "Of course there is. The first thing Wen Xu ordered them to burn was the Library Pavilion. He said that whoever refused to burn would be the one who looked good. Lan Wangji refused and was besieged by Wen Xu's men and broke one of his legs. Not yet. He was raised well, and now he is dragged out again, I don't know what the trouble is!"

Wei Wuxian thought about it carefully. In the past few days, apart from being scolded by Wen Chao, Lan Wangji rarely moved around. Always either standing or sitting, without saying a word. He is a person who attaches great importance to good manners, so naturally no one will notice that there is an injury on his leg.

Jiang Cheng saw that he seemed to want to go to Lan Wangji again, so he grabbed him and said, "What's wrong with you! You dare to mess with him, you don't know whether to live or die!"

Wei WuXian said, "I'm not going to mess with him. Look at that leg of his. The injury must have worsened after running around for the past few days, and it won't be seen until it can't be covered up. If he keeps walking like this, that leg will probably If he wants to be crippled, I will carry him."

Jiang Cheng pulled him tighter: "You're not familiar with him! Didn't you see that he hates you so much? Are you going to carry him? I'm afraid he doesn't want you to get even half a step closer."

Wei WuXian said, "It doesn't matter if he hates me. I don't hate him. If I catch him and carry him on my back, he can still strangle me to death on my back."

Jiang Cheng warned: "We can't even take care of ourselves, so how can we have time to meddle in other people's business?"

Wei WuXian said: "First, this is not idle. Second, someone has to take care of these things!"

While the two were arguing in low voices, a Wen family servant came over and scolded: "Stop whispering to each other, be careful!"

After the servant, a beautiful girl came. This girl's name is Wang Lingjiao, and she is one of Wen Chao's attendants. There is no need to state clearly how to serve, everyone knows. She was originally a maid of Wen Chao's wife. Because she was quite pretty, she got into bed with her master after flirting with her. One person attained the Tao, chicken and dog ascended to heaven, and now among the immortal families, there was actually a medium-sized "Yingchuan Wang Family".

Her spiritual power was low and she could not wear a high-grade fairy sword, so she held a slender iron brand in her hand. This kind of iron brand is applied to the Wen family's servant's hand without putting it in the fire. It will leave a painful brand on the person's body.

Wang Lingjiao held it in her hand and scolded majestically: "Young Master Wen asked you to find the entrance of the cave. What are you whispering about?"

In today's world, even a maid who crawled on the bed could be so proud and arrogant in front of them. The two of them were filled with laughter and tears.

At this moment, someone shouted: "Found it!"

Wang Lingjiao immediately had no time to pay attention to them. She ran over, took a look, and shouted happily: "Mr. Wen! Found it! Found the entrance!"

It was a very hidden cave, hidden at the foot of an old banyan tree where three people hugged each other. They had been unable to find it before. Firstly, the entrance to the cave was very small, less than half a foot square. Secondly, the thick and tangled tree roots and vines woven into a solid net, blocking the entrance, and there was a layer of dead branches on top. Fallen leaves, soil, sand and gravel make it very hidden.

After peeling away the rotten branches, leaves and soil, and cutting off the tree roots, this dark and gloomy cave was exposed.

The entrance of the cave leads to the depths of the ground, and a chilly air hits the face. Throw a stone into it, and it will sink into the sea without making any sound.

Wen Chao was overjoyed: "It must be here! Quick, everyone get down!"

Jin Zixuan couldn't bear it any longer, and said coldly: "You brought us here, saying that we were here to hunt monsters at night, so what kind of monsters are they? Tell us in advance so that we can work together to deal with it, so that we don't have to worry about it again. Just as busy as last time."

Wen Chao said, "Let me tell you?"

He straightened up, pointed first to Jin Zixuan, and then to himself, and said: "How many times do you want me to say it again to make it more memorable? Don't make a mistake. You are just monks under me, and I am the one who issued the message. The one who gives orders. I don't need anyone else to advise me. I am the only one who directs operations and dispatches troops. I am the only one who can subdue monsters!"

His words "only me" are particularly emphatic, his tone is high, and he is arrogant and arrogant, which makes people feel disgusted and funny. Wang Lingjiao scolded: "Didn't you hear what Mr. Wen said? Come down quickly!"

Jin Zixuan stood at the front, suppressing his anger, lifting up his clothes, grabbing a particularly thick tree vine, and jumped into the bottomless hole without hesitation.

This time Wei Wuxian could understand his mood deeply. No matter what monsters and monsters there are in this cave, facing them is definitely more comfortable than facing Wen Chao and others. If you continue to let this pair of bitchy men and women harm your eyes for a moment longer, I'm afraid they won't be able to help but die together!

The rest of the people followed Jin Zixuan and entered the cave one by one.

These forcibly summoned children of aristocratic families had their swords taken away and could only crawl down slowly. The vines grow against the earth wall, as thick as a young child's wrist, and very strong. As Wei Wuxian climbed on it and slowly descended, he secretly calculated how deep he would go.

After sliding for more than thirty feet, the soles of my feet finally touched the ground.

Wen Chao shouted a few times from above to make sure the ground was safe, then he stepped on his sword, put his arm around Wang Lingjiao's waist, and slowly came down with the sword. After a while, his disciples and servants of the Wen family also landed one after another.

Jiang Cheng whispered: "I hope what he is hunting this time is not something too difficult to deal with. I don't know if there is any other exit from this place. If a monster or evil spirit breaks out in the cave, this tree The vine is so long, it might break, and it would be difficult to escape."

Everyone else had the same idea. They couldn't help but look up at the small white hole above their heads, feeling worried and alert in their hearts.

Wen Chao jumped off his sword and said, "What are you doing here? Do you want me to teach you what to do? Let's go!"

A group of teenagers were driven deeper into the cave.

Because he wanted them to explore the road ahead, Wen Chao ordered his servants to give them some torches. The dome of the cave was high and wide, and the firelight could not reach the top. Wei Wuxian paid attention to the echo. He felt that the deeper he went, the emptier the echo became. He was afraid that it was already a hundred feet deep from the ground.

The group of people who opened the way maintained a high degree of vigilance, holding torches, and walked for an unknown amount of time. Finally, they came to a deep pool.

If this pool were placed on the ground, it would also be a broad lake. The water in the pool is dark and dark, and there are many large and small stone islands protruding from the water.

And going forward, there is no way to go.

But the road has come to an end, and the target of the night hunt still hasn't appeared. They don't even know what it is. Everyone is filled with doubts, worried, and nervous.

Not seeing the monster he expected, Wen Chao was also a little impatient. He cursed a few words, and suddenly "had an idea" and said: "Find someone, hang it up, put some blood on it, and lure that thing out."

Most of the monsters are bloodthirsty and will definitely be attracted by the large amount of blood energy and the living people hanging in mid-air unable to move!

Wang Lingjiao responded, immediately pointed to a girl and ordered: "Just her!"

That girl was the "Mianmian" who just gave away the sachet on the road. She was suddenly called upon and was completely stunned. Wang Lingjiao's move seemed random, but in fact it had been brewing for a long time. Most of the people sent by these aristocratic families were teenagers. Therefore, Wen Chao couldn't help but pay more attention to the few girls. Especially this Mianmian, who had a good appearance and had been taken over by Wen Chao several times. It was cheap, so she could only swallow her anger, but Wang Lingjiao had already seen it and hated it in her heart.

When Mianmian realized that he was really pointing at her, she backed away with a look of horror on her face. When Wen Chao saw that Wang Lingjiao ordered this girl, he thought it was a pity that he hadn't had a chance to get her hands on her yet, and said, "Order this one? Let's find someone else."

Wang Lingjiao said aggrievedly: "Why do you want to change? I order this, are you reluctant to part with it?"

As soon as she acted coquettishly, Wen Chao became elated, and his body became half stiff. Looking at Mianmian's clothes, he was definitely not a member of the family, but at most a disciple. It was best to use it as bait. Even if it was gone, he was not afraid of being harassed by someone from the aristocratic family, so he said: "Nonsense, what can I be reluctant to part with? It's up to you, Jiaojiao has the final say!"

Mianmian knew that if she was hung up, she would probably never return, so she ran away in a hurry. But wherever she went to hide, people would spread out. Wei Wuxian moved slightly and was immediately grabbed tightly by Jiang Cheng. Mianmian suddenly noticed that two people were not moving, and hurriedly hid behind them, trembling.

These two people were Jin Zixuan and Lan Wangji.

When the Wen family servants who went up to kidnap him saw that they had no intention of getting out of the way, they shouted: "Go to the side!"

Lan Wangji was indifferent.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Wen Chao warned: "What are you doing? Can't you understand people? Or do you want to pretend to be a hero and save the beauty?"

Jin Zixuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Is that enough? It's not enough to ask others to make you a human shield. Now you have to bleed a living person to use it as bait?!"

Wei Wuxian was slightly surprised: "Jin Zixuan actually has some courage."

Wen Chao pointed at them and said: "Are you going to rebel? I'm warning you, I have tolerated you for a long time. Now do it yourself and tie up this girl and hang her up! Otherwise, the people you two brought here will not be used." gone back!"

Jin Zixuan snorted and sneered, not moving. Lan Wangji also seemed as if he hadn't heard anything, as quiet as if he had fallen into concentration.

However, there was a disciple of the Gusu Lan Sect on the side. Hearing Wen Chao's threatening words, he had been trembling slightly. At this time, he finally couldn't help it and rushed up, grabbed Mianmian, and prepared to tie her up. Lan Wangji's brows furrowed, and he immediately struck out with a palm, knocking him aside.

Although he didn't say a word, he looked down at the disciple with a calm expression, and the meaning in his eyes was self-evident: It is really shameful for the Gusu Lan Sect to have a disciple like you!

The disciple's shoulders were shaking and he slowly backed away, unable to look directly at the eyes of others. Wei Wuxian whispered to Jiang Cheng, "Hey, Lan Zhan's temper is really bad."

Jiang Cheng also clenched his fists.

In this scene, I am afraid that I can no longer live alone and hope to avoid bloodshed!

Wen Chao was furious and shouted: "Rebellion! Kill!"

Several disciples of the Wen family drew their shining swords and charged towards Lan Wangji and Jin Zixuan. Wen Zhuliu, the "alchemist", stood behind Wen Chao with his hands behind his back. He never made a move, as if he felt that there was no need for him to take action. This is true. The two teenagers fought against the unarmed and were at a disadvantage. In addition, due to the fatigue of running around these days, their condition was extremely poor. Lan Wangji was even more injured and would definitely not be able to last long. Wen Chao looked at his subordinates fighting with the two men, and he felt much better. He spat: "You are trying to fight me, what the hell. This kind of person really deserves to be killed."

A smiling voice came from the side: "Yes, this kind of person who bullies others and commits evil deeds deserves to be killed. Not only must he be killed, but his head must be beheaded so that he will be reviled by thousands of people and serve as a warning to future generations."

Hearing this, Wen Chao turned around sharply: "What did you say?"

Wei WuXian said in surprise: "Do you need me to repeat it again? Okay. Those who bully others and do evil things based on their family power should all be killed. Not only should they be killed, but their heads should also be chopped off, so that they will be reviled by thousands of people. Alert future generations—do you hear me clearly?"

When Wen Zhuliu heard this, he looked thoughtfully at Wei Wuxian. Wen Chao said angrily: "How dare you say such nonsense and rebellious nonsense!"

Wei Wuxian first curled up his lips, then burst out into a wild burst of laughter.

Amid everyone's astonished gazes, he held Jiang Cheng's shoulders, laughing so hard that he couldn't breathe, and said: "What nonsense? Is it treason? I think you are the one! Wen Chao, you know what you said just now, is Who said that? I definitely don't know. Let me tell you. This is exactly what Wen Mao, the great celebrity who founded your family, said. How dare you call your ancestor's famous sayings nonsense and rebellious? You can't. Okay, great! Hahahahahaha..."

In the book "The Essence of the Wen Family" that was distributed before, even a commonplace remark of the Wen family could be repeatedly analyzed and its profound meaning was blown up to the sky. Not to mention reading it by heart, Wei Wuxian was disgusted after flipping through it twice. However, Wen Mao's words felt very ironic, but he remembered them clearly.

Wen Chao's face turned red and white, and Wei Wuxian continued: "By the way, what is the crime of insulting a famous member of the Wen family? What is the punishment? I remember it was shoot to death, right? Well, very good, you can die. "

Wen Chao couldn't bear it anymore and drew his sword and stabbed him. With this rush, he broke out of Wen Zhuliu's protective range.

Wen Zhuliu always only guarded against attacks from others, but never guarded against Wen Chao's voluntary departure. He suddenly attacked and had no time to respond. And Wei Wuxian deliberately provoked Wen Chao, just waiting for this moment when his anger would get out of control. The smile on his lips never faded, and his strikes were like lightning. In an instant, he grabbed the sword and fought back, restraining Wen Chao in one fell swoop!

He held Wen Chao with one hand, jumped up and down a few times, and jumped to a stone island above the deep pool, putting some distance between him and Wen Zhuliu. With the other hand, he put Wen Chao's sword on his neck and warned: "Don't even do that. Move, if you move again, be careful and I will bleed you Mr. Wen!"

Wen Chao shouted heartbreakingly: "Stop moving! Stop moving!"

Only then did the disciples who besieged Lan Wangji and Jin Zixuan stop their attacks. Wei Wuxian yelled, "Don't move your alchemy hand! You all know the temper of the head of the Wen family. Your master is in my hands. As long as he sheds a drop of blood, no one here, including you, will survive." !"

As expected, Wen Zhuliu withdrew his hand. Seeing that the situation was under control, Wei Wuxian was still about to speak when suddenly he felt the entire ground tremble.

He said warily: "Jiang Cheng! Has the ground moved?"

They are now in an underground cave. If the ground moves and the mountain collapses, it would be extremely terrible to block the entrance of the cave or bury them alive. Jiang Cheng said, "No!"

But Wei Wuxian felt that the ground was shaking even more violently, and the sword tip shook several times until it touched Wen Chao's throat, causing him to scream loudly. Jiang Cheng suddenly shouted: "It's not the ground that's moving, it's the things under your feet that are moving!!!"

Wei Wuxian also discovered that it was not the ground that was shaking, but the stone island where he landed. Not only is it trembling, but more and more parts are rising, rising, and surfacing.

He finally discovered that this was not an island, but a huge thing lurking in the deep pool - he was now on the back of that monster!
