Hate life-IX

Lan Xichen asked: "What letter?"

Jin Guangyao said: "Threatening letter. The letter said...those things. In seven days, these things will be made public to the world. Let me either commit suicide and apologize, or...wait for my death."

Everyone understands. Of course, Jin Guangyao cannot just sit and wait for his death. Rather than wait until then to be ruined and be ridiculed and overthrown by everyone, it is better to strike first. By then, even if the other party really spreads his old black traces everywhere, they have already experienced a siege and the family's vitality has been severely damaged, and they will no longer have the energy to make trouble with him.

It's a pity that the passing of time has been unfavorable and he was disturbed by Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji.

Lan Xichen said: "Even so, you can't just kill someone without stopping at once! If you do this..."

No matter how hard he tries to find reasons to excuse him!

Jin Guangyao said: "Otherwise, what else can I do? When things are revealed and spread throughout the city, and when I become the laughing stock of hundreds of Xuanmen schools for hundreds of years, I will kneel down and apologize to the world, put my face at their feet and beg them to step on me. , beg their forgiveness? Second brother! There is no third way, either they die or I die."

Lan Xichen looked slightly sullen, took a step back and said, "It's not all because of you...because you did the things in the letter! If you didn't do them, how could the clues fall into the hands of others?"

Jin Guangyao said: "Second brother, listen to me. I don't deny that I did those things..."

Lan Xichen said: "How can you deny it? There are witnesses!"

Jin Guangyao said: "That's why I said I don't deny it! But why would I do it if I didn't have to kill my father, my wife, my son, and my brother? Do you think I'm really that crazy and insane in your eyes?!"

Lan Xichen looked slightly calm and said, "Okay, I'll ask you a few questions and you can explain them one by one."

Lan Wangji said: "Brother!"

He took out Bichen. Lan Xichen saw that he seemed to have the intention to kill Jin Guangyao immediately with a sword, and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, he is injured and disarmed now, so he is at a disadvantage. There are so many people here, there is nothing we can do." Just playing tricks." Wei Wuxian happened to kick Su She over there, defeating his secret intention. Lan Xichen said, "You deal with it over there, I'll take care of it here."

Lan Wangji listened to Su She's roar and walked over. Wei Wuxian knew that Lan Xichen still had some affection for his sworn brother, and he always had some inexplicable expectations, so he had to give him this opportunity to speak. It just so happened that he also wanted to hear what Jin Guangyao had to say, so he listened carefully. Lan Xichen said: "First, your father, Old Sect Master Jin, is it really you who used that method..."

Jin Guangyao said carefully: "I want to answer this question last."

Lan Xichen shook his head and added: "Second, your... madam..." As if it was difficult to say, he immediately changed his words: "Your sister, Qin Su, do you really know the relationship between her and you? , and married her?"

Jin Guangyao stared at him blankly and suddenly shed tears.

He said painfully: "...Yes."

Lan Xichen took a deep breath, his face turned gray. Jin Guangyao whispered: "But I really have no choice."

Lan Xichen scolded: "How come there is nothing you can do?! That's your marriage! If you don't marry, that's fine, right? Even if it hurts Qin Su's heart, it's better than destroying someone who truly loves you and respects you, and has never I despise your woman!"

Jin Guangyao said: "Don't I really love her?! But I can't help it, I can't help it! Yes! It's my marriage, but can I really say I won't marry her? ?! Second brother, you must have a bottom line for your naivety. I spent a lot of hard work to get Qin Cangye to agree to my proposal. The wedding is approaching, and finally both Qin Cangye and Jin Guangshan are very satisfied. You Want me to suddenly cancel the marriage? What reason should I use? How should I explain to these two people?!

"Second brother, you know how I felt when I thought everything was perfect, Mrs. Qin suddenly came to me secretly and told me the truth! Even if a thunderbolt strikes my Tianling Gai, it won't be more terrifying! Do you know why she didn't go to Jin Guangshan but came to beg me secretly? Because she was raped by Jin Guangshan! My good father didn't even let go of his wife who had been following him for many years. When did he have an extra child? My daughter doesn't even remember! She didn't dare to tell her husband Qin Cangye about this for so many years. You said that if I suddenly regret the marriage, they will notice the bad behavior, causing Jin Guangshan and Qin Cangye to break up and turn against each other, and they will end up unhappy in the end. Who will be the worst?!"

Although this was not the first time they heard about Jin Guangshan's shameless behavior in this regard, everyone present still felt a chill. Nausea and chills, I don't know which one is worse. Lan Xichen said: "Then you... Then even if you were forced to marry Qin Su, you could still ignore her. Why did you marry her... why did you have to give birth to A Song and then kill your own son with your own hands!"

Jin Guangyao, however, held his head and said in a solemn voice: "...I haven't touched Ah Su at all since the wedding. Ah Song... was with me before the marriage. At that time, I was afraid of long nights and dreams, and another twists and turns..."

So he consummated his marriage with Qin Su in advance.

If not, he would not have committed incest with his biological sister by accident. At this point, I don't know whether to hate the father who doesn't look like his father at all, or hate himself more for being suspicious and worried!

Sighing, Lan Xichen said: "Third, don't try to quibble. Answer me whether Jin Zixuan's death was your deliberate plan!"

Hearing his father's name, Jin Ling's eyes widened as he supported Jiang Cheng.

Lan Wangji raised his voice slightly and said, "Brother, do you believe him?"

Lan Xichen looked complicated and said: "Of course I don't believe that Jin Zixuan accidentally broke through the Qiongqi Road interception, but... let him talk first."

Jin Guangyao knew that he would not be believed if he refused to confess, so he gritted his teeth and said: "...Jin Zixuan, I did not bump into him by accident."

Jin Ling suddenly clenched his fists.

Jin Guangyao added: "But I definitely didn't plan everything that happened next. You don't have to think of me as so sophisticated and calculating. Many things are simply beyond my control. How did I know that he would definitely be with Jin Zixun? Die together at the hands of Wei Wuxian? How could I predict things like a god and predict that Wei Wuxian will lose control and that the ghost general will go on a killing spree?"

Wei Wuxian said sternly: "Then you said you didn't bump into him by accident? It's contradictory!"

Jin Guangyao said: "I don't deny that I deliberately told him about the Qiongqidao interception, but I just thought that he and you have never been on good terms, and it happened that you were being troubled by his cousin, so I need to eat something What a pain. How could I have foreseen that Mr. Wei, you would just kill everyone present?"

Wei Wuxian laughed angrily: "You are really..."

Suddenly, Jin Ling shouted: "Why?!"

He stood up from Jiang Cheng, his eyes red, rushed to Jin Guangyao and shouted: "Why are you doing this?!"

Nie Huaisang quickly grabbed Jin Ling, who looked like he was about to fight with Jin Guangyao. Jin Guangyao asked, "Why?"

He turned to Jin Ling and said, "Aling, can you tell me why? Why do I always greet people with a smile, but I may not be able to get a good job, but your father is arrogant, but everyone flocks to him? ? Can you tell me why, as the son of the same person, your father can spend time at home with his favorite wife and amusing his children, but I don't even dare to stay alone with my wife for too long, or even see my own The son's hair stood on end, and he was naturally assigned by his biological father to do this kind of thing - to intercept and kill an extremely dangerous person who could go crazy at any time and manipulate evil corpses and ghosts to cause a massacre!

"Why is it that even though Jin Guangshan's birthday is on the same day, he can hold a grand banquet for one of his sons on the same day, and watch his men kick the other son off the Jinlin Platform, and from the top floor? , roll to the bottom level!"

He finally revealed his deep-hidden hatred, but it was not towards Jin Zixuan or Wei Wuxian, but towards his own father.

Wei Wuxian said, "Stop making excuses! Just kill whoever you hate. Why would you touch Jin Zixuan?!"

Jin Guangyao said calmly: "As you can see, I will kill them all."

Lan Xichen said: "And in that way."

With tears in his eyes, Jin Guangyao straightened his back and knelt on the ground, smiling: "Yes. An old stallion that goes into heat everywhere is the most suitable way to die, isn't it?"

Lan Xichen shouted: "Ayao!"

After scolding him, he remembered that he had already unilaterally severed ties with Jin Guangyao, so he shouldn't have called him that. Jin Guangyao didn't seem to notice, and said with a calm expression: "Second brother, don't think that I can scold him with such ugly words now. I also have expectations for my father. In the past, as long as it was his order, I would betray Wen Whether it's the sect leader protecting Xue Yang or eradicating dissidents, no matter how stupid or how hated I am, I will carry it out. But do you know what makes me completely disappointed? I will answer your first question now, no In his heart, I will never be worth a hair of Jin Zixuan, or several black holes in Jin Zixun's body. It's not that he took Mo Xuanyu back, or that he later tried every means to try to evade me, but that he went out again one time. When he was having a good time and drinking, he confided his inner thoughts to the wine girl beside him.

"Why is such a big spender unwilling to spend a little effort to redeem my mother's life? It's simple, because it's troublesome. My mother has waited for so many years, weaved so many involuntary difficulties for him in front of me, and helped him After imagining so many difficult situations, the real reason turned out to be just two words: trouble.

"This is what he said: 'Especially women who have read a little bit, always think that they are higher than other women, have many demands, and think about things unrealistically, which is the most troublesome. If you redeem her body and find a When Lan Ling comes, she still doesn't know how to pester her. Just let her stay where she is. Based on her conditions, she can probably be popular for a few more years, and she won't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life.

"'Son? Alas, let's not mention it.'"

Jin Guangyao has an excellent memory, and by repeating it word for word, others can even imagine Jin Guangshan's drunken expression when he said this. He smiled and said: "Second brother, look, my son is worth four words: 'Oh, I won't mention it anymore'. Hahahaha..."

There was pain in Lan Xichen's eyes as he said, "Even if your father... you..."

In the end, he couldn't think of any suitable judgment. He stopped talking and sighed: "What's the use of talking about it now."

Jin Guangyao smiled and spread his hands: "I can't help it. I've done all the bad things, but I still want people to pity me. That's the kind of person I am."

When he mentioned the word "人", he suddenly flipped his wrist. A red string was put around Jin Ling's neck.

With tears still hanging from the corners of Jin Guangyao's eyes, he said in a deep voice, "Don't move!"

This time he was really caught off guard, Jiang Cheng shouted: "Wei Wuxian! Haven't you already disarmed him?"

In desperation, he actually shouted to Wei Wuxian directly, with the same tone as when he was a boy. Wei Wuxian also shouted: "I did take away all his strings!"

It's not like Jin Guangyao's cultivation level is so high that he can transform objects out of thin air!

Lan Wangji saw the mystery at a glance and said, "He is hiding inside the body."

Others followed his guidance and saw a blush on the white clothes on Jin Guangyao's flank, which was gradually spreading. The string is red because it is bloody. Of course Wei Wuxian couldn't find it before. Jin Guangyao didn't hide it on his body, but hid it in his own body. Waiting for the words to come out, Lan Xichen's mood was shaken by him, and the attention of others was diverted. Jin Ling was also provoked to rush forward and get closer to him. When the time was right, he quickly stabbed the abdomen with his finger and removed it from the person. It was dug out from the body.

Who would have expected that in order to retain this last hand, Jin Guangyao would treat himself like this. Although the strings are extremely thin, they are still a metal foreign object, buried in the body of flesh and blood and moving around with others. The feeling is absolutely amazing. It won't be very pleasant.

Jiang Cheng said miserably: "Aling!" Wei Wuxian couldn't help but move, but someone immediately caught him. He turned around and saw that it was Lan Wangji, and then he managed to calm down and not get distracted. Jin Guangyao restrained Jin Ling to stand up and said: "Sect Master Jiang, there is no need to be so excited. After all, I watched Aling grow up. I still say the same thing, walk on both sides of the road, and you will naturally see someone after a while. Aling is intact."

Jiang Cheng said: "Aling, don't move! Jin Guangyao, if you want a hostage, it will be the same with me!"

Jin Guangyao said frankly: "That's different. Sect Master Jiang, you are injured and have difficulty moving, which will hold me back."

Wei Wuxian's palms were sweating, and he said, "Sect Master Jin, did you forget something? Your loyal subordinate is still here."

Jin Guangyao looked at Su She who was being held hostage by Lan Wangji and Bichen. Su She immediately shouted in a hoarse voice, "Sect master, don't pay attention to me!"

Jin Guangyao also immediately said: "Thank you very much."

Lan Xichen said slowly: "Sect Master Jin, you lied again."

Jin Guangyao said: "It's just this once, it won't be the same next time."

Lan Xichen said: "You said the same thing last time. I can no longer tell which of your words is true."

Just as Jin Guangyao was about to speak, there was an unprecedented rumble of thunder. Although it was far away in the horizon, it felt as if it was right in front of his ears, making him shiver involuntarily and swallow his words. Immediately afterwards, three strange loud sounds of "Boom! Boom! Boom!" came from outside the temple door.

This sound is better said to be "bumping on the door" than "knocking on the door." It didn't look like a person's arms were flapping, but it looked like one person was holding another person's head and violently banging against the door. Every sound was louder than the sound, and the cracks on the door latch of the temple became bigger and bigger each time, and the expression on Jin Guangyao's face became more and more distorted every moment.

On the fourth ring, the door bolt finally broke. Dense raindrops and a dark figure flew through the door together.

Jin Guangyao trembled, as if he wanted to dodge, but quickly stopped the urge. The direction the figure flew in was not towards him, but towards Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji. The two of them separated for a moment, and then naturally stood side by side again. Looking back, Wei Wuxian asked, "Wen Ning?"

Wen Ning bumped into the Guanyin statue in the temple, hung head down and feet up for a while, then fell down with a thud, and then said: "...Young Master."

Seeing him, Jiang Cheng and Jin Ling both looked a bit embarrassed. Nie Huaisang shouted: "Brother!!!"

In addition to Wen Ning who flew in, there was another taller figure standing at the door of the temple. The outline is hard, the face is ashen, and the eyes are dull.

It is none other than Lord Chifeng, Nie Mingjue!

He was like an iron tower, standing in front of the Guanyin Temple in the heavy rain, blocking everyone's way. The head rests squarely on the neck, and dense black stitches can be seen between the neck. Someone actually used a long thread to sew his head and headless body together!

Lan Xichen said: "...brother."

Jin Guangyao also murmured: "...Brother..."

In this temple, three people called Nie Mingjue's body "Big Brother", but their tone was completely different. Jin Guangyao's face was filled with fear of annihilation, and his whole body started to tremble. Whether before or after his death, the person Jin Guangyao feared the most was undoubtedly his violent-tempered and unforgiving sworn brother.

His body shook, his hands shook as well, and the bloody string he held tightly in his hand also began to shake. At this moment, Lan Wangji suddenly pulled out Bichen and slashed with his sword.

In the blink of an eye, he flashed in front of Jin Ling and held something in his hand. Jin Guangyao felt a light movement on his arm and was slightly startled. He looked down and realized that his right hand was missing.

His right hand was cut off from the front of the forearm. The thing Lan Wangji was holding was the same palm that held the strings of the murder weapon.

Blood spurted out in an instant. Jin Guangyao's face turned pale in pain. He didn't even have the strength to scream. He just staggered back a few steps, unable to stand firmly and fell to the ground. Su She, however, screamed. Lan Xichen seemed to want to help him for a moment, but in the end he did not dare to do it again.

Lan Wangji pried open the fingers of Jin Guangyao's severed hand. The strings suddenly loosened, and Jin Ling was able to escape. Jiang Cheng was about to pounce on him to see if he was injured, but Wei Wuxian stepped forward, held Jin Ling's shoulders, and checked carefully to make sure that the skin on his neck was intact and there was no scratch at all, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Lan Wangji had always left a three-point margin when using his sword in the past, but the situation just now was really critical. The string was extremely sharp, and in the hands of someone who knew how to use the string killing technique, cutting flesh and bones was like chopping melons and vegetables, but Jin Guangyao's hands were still He was trembling. As long as he trembled for a moment longer, or even more terrifying, he would have forgotten that he was holding someone else in his hand, holding the strings and running away... If Lan Wangji hadn't made a quick decision and cut off his grip quickly and accurately. Xian's right hand, I'm afraid Jin Ling's body and head have been separated at this moment, and the blood surges several feet high!

Jin Ling was sprayed with blood from Jin Guangyao's severed hand. Most of his body and less than half of his face were stained with blood, and he was still stunned and didn't react. Wei Wuxian hugged him hard and said, "Stay away from dangerous people next time, brat, what were you doing standing so close just now!"

If Jiang Yanli and Jin Zixun's only son also disappeared in front of him, Wei Wuxian really didn't know what to do.

Jin Ling was not used to being hugged like this, and a blush suddenly appeared on his pale face, and he vigorously rejected Wei Wuxian's chest. Wei Wuxian grabbed him and hugged him harder, patted his shoulder heavily, pushed him toward Jiang Cheng, and said, "Go! Stop running around and go to your uncle's side!"

Jiang Cheng grabbed Jin Ling, who was still a little dizzy, looked at Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji standing together over there, hesitated for a moment, and whispered to Lan Wangji, "Thank you."

Although it was low-pitched, it was not ambiguous after all.

Jin Ling also said: "Thank you, Lord Hanguang, for saving my life."

Lan Wangji nodded without saying anything. Bichen pointed diagonally at the ground. The bright and clear sword blade was not stained with blood. It quickly slipped cleanly and turned to point at Nie Mingjue who was standing at the door. Wen Ning slowly got up, connected one of his broken hands to himself, and said, "Be careful... His grievance is not trivial."
