Abase-IV

Jin Ling and others' hearts were pounding, fearing that something might happen to him when he peeked out, they would cover their eyes and fall down. Hearing Wei Wuxian's "Ah!", all the young men raised their heads in unison, their hairs standing on end: "What's wrong!"

Wei Wuxian whispered again and again: "Shh, don't talk. I'm watching it."

Jin Ling lowered his voice even lower than his: "Then what did you see? What was outside the door?"

Wei Wuxian didn't look away or answer directly, "Yeah... um... so awesome, so awesome."

The look on his side face was full of joy, and the praise and exclamation seemed to come from his heart, which aroused the curiosity in the hearts of the disciples of the famous families and quickly overcame their nervousness. Lan SiZhui couldn't help but said: "...Senior Mo, what's so awesome?"

Wei WuXian said, "Oh! It's so beautiful. Keep your noise down, don't scare it away. I haven't seen enough yet."

Jin Ling said: "Get out of the way! I want to see."

 "I also want!"

Wei WuXian said, "Do you really want to see it?"

 "Um!"

Wei Wuxian slowly stepped aside, seemingly reluctantly. Jin Ling was the first to approach, pointed at the thin wood crack, and looked out.

It was already night. It was quite cold at night, and the demonic fog in Yi City actually dissipated a lot, and I could barely see the streets a few feet away. Jin Ling looked at it for a while and didn't see that "so powerful and beautiful" thing. He was a little disappointed and thought to himself, "Did I scare it away by speaking just now?"

Just when I was feeling bored, a thin and shriveled figure suddenly appeared in front of a crack in the wood.

Being caught off guard and seeing the whole thing, Jin Ling felt like his entire scalp had been blown off. He almost screamed, but somehow, he felt a strong force in his chest and was able to hold it back. He maintained his bent posture stiffly, waiting for the numbness on his head to pass, and couldn't help but look at Wei Wuxian. I saw this hateful man leaning against the window panel, standing aside, raising one corner of his mouth, raising an eyebrow at him, and said with a sly smile: "Isn't it good-looking?"

Jin Ling glared at him fiercely, knowing that he was deliberately teasing others, so he gritted his teeth and said, "...Yes..."

He changed his mind, straightened up, and said nonchalantly: "It's just like that, I can barely see it!"

After finishing speaking, he stepped away and stood aside, waiting for the next person to be fooled. Being fooled by these two people one after another, the curiosity of the others was aroused to its peak. Lan SiZhui couldn't hold it back and stood in that position. However, as soon as he brought his eyes closer, he cried out "Ah!" honestly, jumped back, with a frightened and helpless expression on his face. He searched around dizzy for two times before finding Wei Wuxian, and complained to him: : "Senior Mo! There is... there is... outside..."

Wei Wuxian said with a clear face: "There is that one, right? There's no need to say it. If you say it, there won't be any surprises. Let everyone see for themselves."

Seeing Lan SiZhui being frightened like this, the others dared to come up to him. It was not a surprise, but a shock. They waved their hands repeatedly: "I won't watch, I won't watch!" Jin Ling spat, "You're still trying to trick people at this time. , I really don't know what you think!"

Wei WuXian said, "Didn't you also lie to me? Don't imitate your uncle's tone. SiZhui, was that thing scary just now?"

Lan SiZhui nodded and said honestly, "Scary."

Wei WuXian said, "Just scare people. This is a great opportunity for you to practice. Why do ghosts scare people? Because when people are scared, their minds are hurt and their souls are agitated. This is when people are most likely to be sucked away the Yang Qi. . Therefore, the most afraid of things like ghosts are bold people. Because bold people are not afraid of it, it has no way to take advantage of people, and there is no opportunity to take advantage of it. Therefore, as a child of a noble family, the first priority is to make your own Get bolder!"

While Lan Jingyi was glad that he couldn't move and was not curious enough to look over just now, he muttered, "Courage is something you are born with. What can be done if someone is born timid."

Wei Wuxian said: "You were born to be able to fly and wield a sword? You don't get it by practicing. In the same way, you can get used to it if you are scared. Does the toilet smell bad? Is it disgusting? But believe me, you are here If you live in a toilet for a month, you can still eat in it."

All the teenagers were horrified and refused in unison: "No!!! I don't believe it!!!"

Wei WuXian said: "It's just an analogy. Okay, I admit, I have never lived in a toilet, and I don't know if I can survive it. I'm just talking nonsense. But you must try this one outside the door. Not only do you want to see it, but you also have to try it. You must look carefully, pay attention to its details, and dig out its possible hidden weaknesses in the details in the shortest possible time. Stay calm in times of crisis and look for opportunities to counterattack. Okay, I have said so much, do you understand? Ordinary people don't. If you have the opportunity, follow my guidance and cherish it. Don't give up, come and line up and watch one by one."

"...Do you really want to see it?"

Wei WuXian said, "Of course, I never joke or make fun of others. Let's start with Jing Yi. Jin Ling and Sizhui have both seen it."

Lan Jingyi said: "Huh? I don't need it. People infected with corpse poison can't move. That's what you said."

Wei Wuxian: "Stick out your tongue. Ah."

Lan Jingyi: "Ah."

Wei Wuxian: "Congratulations, your poison has been cured. Take the first step bravely, come on!"

Lan Jingyi: "It's solved so quickly?! Did you lie to me?!"

The protest was ineffective, so he had no choice but to walk to the window, take a look, look away, look away, look away. Wei Wuxian knocked on the board and said, "What are you afraid of? I'm standing here. It doesn't dare to break through this board. It won't eat your eyeballs."

Lan Jingyi jumped away and said, "I'm done reading it!"

Then it was the next one's turn, and everyone hissed as they watched. After everyone in the circle had taken their turn, Wei Wuxian said, "Have you finished reading? Let each of you tell us what details you saw. Let's summarize it."

Jin Ling was the first to say: "White pupils. Female. Very short and thin. Not bad looking. Holding a bamboo pole."

Lan SiZhui thought for a while and said, "This girl is about as big as my chest. Her clothes are ragged and not very neat. She looks like a street beggar. The bamboo pole seems to be a blind cane. Maybe the white eyes are not acquired after death. It was formed because she was blind during her lifetime."

Wei Wuxian commented: "Jin Ling sees too much, but SiZhui sees carefully."

Jin Ling curled his lips.

A young man said: "This girl is only about fifteen or sixteen years old. She has an oval face and is very delicate. There is also a vitality in her beauty. Her long hair is pinned with a wooden hairpin, and a wooden hairpin is carved on the tail. Little fox head. Thin and slender body. Although not neat, it is not dirty or annoying. If it is tidied up, it will be a lovely beauty."

When Wei Wuxian heard this, he immediately felt that this boy had a bright future and praised him vigorously: "Not bad, good, careful observation and unique approach. This kid will definitely be a love interest in the future."

The young man blushed, covered his face and turned to the wall, ignoring the laughter of his companions. Another young man said: "It seems that the sound of the bamboo pole tapping on the ground was made when she was walking. If she was blind during her lifetime, she would not be able to see it as a ghost after death. She must rely on that A blind stick."

Another young man said: "But that's not right. Have you all seen the blind man? Because his eyesight is inconvenient, he walks and moves slowly for fear of hitting something. But the ghost outside the door moves very quickly. I have never seen it before. Such a flexible blind man."

Wei Wuxian smiled and said, "Well, it's good that you have thought of this. This is how it should be analyzed, without letting go of any doubts. Then we will invite her in now to find out the answers to these doubts."

After saying that, he immediately started to remove a door panel. Not only the teenagers in the room, but also the ghost outside the window were startled by his sudden movement and raised the bamboo pole warily.

Wei Wuxian said hello to the ghost first, and then asked, "Girl, what's the matter with you following them all the time?"

The girl's eyes widened. If she were a living person, she would definitely look delicate and charming. However, she had no eyes, and there were two tears of blood flowing out of her eyes, which only made people feel more hideous. Someone behind him gasped softly, and Wei Wuxian said, "What are you afraid of? I will see more bleeding from the seventh orifice in the future, but you can't stand it from the second orifice? So I let you practice more."

The girl had been anxiously circling in front of their window, tapping the ground with a bamboo pole, stamping her feet, staring, and waving her arms, but now she suddenly changed her movements. He gestured and gestured as if he wanted to tell them something. Jin Ling said: "It's strange, can't she speak?"

Hearing this, the girl's ghost paused and opened its mouth at them.

Blood gushes out of the empty mouth. It turned out that her tongue had been uprooted.

The children of the aristocratic family had goosebumps all over their bodies, and they all felt sympathy in their hearts: "No wonder you can't speak. You are blind and mute, so pitiful."

Wei WuXian asked, "Is she using sign language? Does anyone understand?"

No one understands. The girl was so anxious that she stamped her feet and wrote and scratched on the ground with a bamboo stick. But she is obviously not a woman from a scholarly family. She is not literate and cannot write anything. She drew a bunch of little figures in such a mess that it was completely unclear what she wanted to express.

At this moment, in the distance of the long street, there was a sound of rapid running and the sound of someone breathing.

The girl's ghost suddenly disappeared, but she would probably come back on her own, so Wei Wuxian wasn't worried and quickly inserted the door panel back and continued to peek out from the crack in the wood. The other children of the aristocratic families also wanted to see what was going on outside, so they all crowded in front of the door. A row of heads stacked from top to bottom, blocking the crack in the door with their sight.

The demonic mist had been thinning for a while, but now it was gradually flowing again. I saw a embarrassed figure breaking out of the white mist and running over.

This man was dressed in black and seemed to be injured. He stumbled as he ran. There was a sword hanging from his waist, also wrapped in black cloth. Lan Jingyi whispered: "Is it the foggy man?"

Lan SiZhui responded in a low voice, "Probably not. The matte-faced man's movement skills are completely different from this one."

A group of zombies followed behind the man. They moved very fast and immediately caught up with him. The man drew his sword to fight. The sword's light was clear and cut through the fog. Wei Wuxian cheered in his heart: "What a sword!"

But with a sword sweep, there was another strange sound of "plop" and "plop". Black-red powder was sprayed out from several broken limbs of the zombies. The man was surrounded by them and had no way to escape. He stood there and was smeared all over his face by the overwhelming corpse poison powder. Lan SiZhui was horrified and whispered: "Senior Mo, this person, we..."

At this time, a new group of zombies surrounded him, surrounding him and shrinking him smaller and smaller. He swept out with his sword again, exploding more corpse poison powder, and he also inhaled more, and seemed to be starting to lose his balance. Wei WuXian said, "This man can be saved."

Jin Ling said, "How are you going to save me? We can't go there now. The sky is filled with corpse poison powder. If you get close, you'll be poisoned."

After thinking for a moment, Wei Wuxian left the window and walked inside the main room. The eyes of a group of teenagers followed him involuntarily. I saw a group of paper figures with different appearances standing quietly between two large wreaths. Wei Wuxian walked slowly past them and stopped in front of a pair of female paper figures.

Each paper figurine has a different appearance, and this pair seems to have been specially made into two twin sisters. Their makeup, clothing, and facial features are all carved from the same mold. The eyebrows are curved and the face is smiling. It was as if I could hear them laughing and laughing. With her combed hair, red bead earrings, gold bracelets on her wrists, and embroidered shoes on her feet, she looked like a maid from a wealthy family.

Wei WuXian said, "Just these two."

He gently touched a young man's unsheathed sword and made a wound on his thumb. He turned around and added two pairs of eyes and four eyeballs to them.

Immediately, he took a step back, smiled slightly, and said: "The charming eyes closed shyly, and the red lips opened with a smile. Don't ask about good or evil, just dot your eyes to call for the future."

A gust of dark wind blew from nowhere and suddenly filled the entire store. All the young men involuntarily grasped the swords in their hands.

Suddenly, the twin sisters' paper figures trembled violently.

The next moment, there was really "chuck-chuck-chuck" laughter floating out from their bright red lips!

The key to summoning generals!

As if they had seen or heard something extremely funny, the pair of paper figures were laughing so hard that their branches were trembling with laughter. At the same time, the pair of eyeballs dotted with living blood were spinning around in their sockets. This scene was really charming. , also extremely eerie. Wei Wuxian stood in front of them, nodded slightly, bowed his head and saluted them.

As courtesy reciprocated, the pair of paper figures also owed him a debt of gratitude and returned an even greater gift.

Wei Wuxian pointed to the door and said, "Bring the living people in—other than that, destroy them all."

Sharp and high-pitched laughter came from the mouths of the paper people, a gust of dark wind hit, and the door suddenly opened on both sides!

The two paper figures swept out side by side and entered the circle surrounded by the zombies. It was unimaginable that the dummies, which were clearly made of paper, could have such ferocious lethality. They stepped on exquisite embroidered shoes, waved their fluttering sleeves, and cut off an arm of a walking corpse with one wave, and then with another wave. Another half of the head was cut off, and the paper sleeve seemed to turn into a sharp blade. That charming laughter always echoed throughout the long street, which was thrilling and terrifying.

Not long after, fifteen or six walking corpses were all cut into pieces that could not be put together by the pair of paper figures and rolled all over the ground!

The two paper maids were victorious. They obeyed the order and carried the exhausted fugitive into the door. Then they jumped out of the door and the door closed automatically. They were on the left and right, guarding the door like lions in the town, and became quiet.

Several children from aristocratic families in the room were stunned.

They had only heard descriptions of some evil ways in books and from seniors. At that time, they just felt that they did not understand: "Since it is already an evil way, why do so many people still want to learn it? Why do the ancestors of Yiling still have so many imitators?" But now that I saw it with my own eyes, I realized that heresy has its own magical charm that attracts people. Moreover, this is just the tip of the iceberg - "The Summoning General Technique". Therefore, after most of the young people calmed down, there was no look of repulsion on their faces. Instead, they were full of excitement that could not be concealed. They felt that they had gained a lot of knowledge and had something new to talk about with their senior brothers and sisters when they returned home. Only Jin Ling's face looked very ugly.

Lan SiZhui went over to help Wei Wuxian, but Wei Wuxian said, "Don't come here, be careful of getting corpse poison powder. You might get poisoned if you get it on your skin."

When the man was brought in by the paper man, he had no strength and was half-conscious. Now he was a little more awake. He coughed a few times, as if he was worried that the coughed up corpse poison powder would infect others. He covered his mouth and whispered: "Who are you?"

This voice is extremely tired. He asked this not because he didn't recognize the people in the room, but because he couldn't see anything.

This man's eyes were wrapped with a thick white bandage. He must be a blind man.

Moreover, he is a very good-looking blind man, with a straight nose and a light red color on his thin lips. He is almost handsome. His appearance also looks very young, somewhere between a boy and a young man, which is regrettable. Wei Wuxian thought to himself: Why have I met so many blind people recently? What you hear, what you see. Living and dead.

Suddenly, Jin Ling said: "Hey, we don't know who this person is yet, whether he is an enemy or a friend, why should we rush to save him? If he is a bad person, wouldn't he save a snake and come in?"

That's true, but it's a bit embarrassing for him to be so straightforward in front of others. The man was not angry, nor did he seem worried about being thrown out. He smiled slightly, showing a pair of small tiger teeth, and said: "This young master is right. It's better for me to go out."

Jin Ling didn't expect this reaction from him, but was stunned. He didn't know what to say and snorted randomly. Lan SiZhui hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "But there is a possibility that this person is not a bad person. In any case, it goes against our family's motto to refuse to save someone even if they die."

Jin Ling said firmly: "Okay. You are good people. Don't blame me if you break anyone."

Lan Jingyi said angrily: "You..." Before he could finish his words, his tongue was tied.

Because he saw the man's sword leaning on the table. The black cloth wrapped around the sword slipped halfway, revealing the sword's body.

The forging process of this sword is very superb. The scabbard is bronze in color and engraved with hollow frost patterns. The sword blade exposed through the hollow patterns is like a silver star, shining with snowflake-shaped light, giving it a pure and bright beauty.

Lan Jingyi opened his eyes wide, as if he wanted to blurt out something. Although Wei Wuxian didn't know what he was going to call him, since this man had covered his sword with a black cloth, he must not have wanted anyone to see him. He instinctively didn't want to startle someone, so he stretched out his hand to cover Lan Jingyi's mouth, and at the same time put his index finger on Lan Jingyi's mouth. Putting it in front of his lips, he signaled the other teenagers who also had surprised expressions on their faces to keep silent.

Jin Ling mouthed two words to him, then reached out and wrote two words on the dusty table:

"Frost".

...Shuanghua Sword?

Wei Wuxian asked silently with his lips: Xiao Xingchen's—Shuanghua Sword?

Jin Ling and others nodded in affirmation.

Although these young people have never met Xiao Xingchen himself, "Shuanghua" is a rare and famous sword. It is not only powerful in spiritual power, but also beautiful and unique in appearance. It has been included in countless editions of fairy sword catalogs and famous sword atlases, which makes people see it. Unforgettable. Wei Wuxian thought: If the sword is frost and I am blind...

A young man also thought of this and involuntarily touched the bandage on the man's eye with his hand, wanting to take it off and see if the man's eye was still there. But as soon as his hand touched the bandage, the other person's face showed an expression of extreme pain, and he stepped back imperceptibly, as if he was very afraid of being touched by others in the eyes.

The young man realized that he had lost his composure and quickly retracted his hand, saying: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to do it."

The man raised his left hand, wearing a thin black glove. He wanted to cover his eyes, but he didn't dare to touch it. The pain would be unbearable if he touched it lightly. There was already a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. He reluctantly said: "It's okay..."

The voice was trembling slightly.

With this kind of performance, it is almost certain that this person is Xiao Xingchen who disappeared after the Yueyang Chang family case.

Xiao Xingchen didn't know that his identity had been revealed, but he endured the pain and fumbled for his Shuanghua. Wei Wuxian quickly pulled up the black cloth that had slipped off. He touched Shuanghua, nodded and said, "Thank you for saving me. I'll take the first step."

Wei Wuxian said, "Don't leave yet. You've been poisoned by corpse poison."

Xiao Xingchen asked: "Is it serious?"

Wei Wuxian said, "It's very serious."

Xiao Xingchen said: "Since it's very serious, why stay here? There's no cure anyway, so why not kill a few more zombies before they turn into corpses."

Hearing that he put life and death at risk, the blood of the group of teenagers in the room surged. Lan Jingyi couldn't help but blurt out: "Who said there is no cure? You stay! He will cure you!"

Wei Wuxian: "Me? I'm sorry, are you talking about me?" He was really embarrassed to tell the truth. This Xiao Xingchen had inhaled too much corpse poison powder, and his complexion was faintly black and red. The poison was too deep, I'm afraid Nuomi Porridge no longer works.

Xiao Xingchen said: "I have killed many zombies in this city. They have been following me, and there will be new ones coming in a steady stream. If I stay, you will be overwhelmed by the zombies sooner or later." "

Wei WuXian said, "Do you know why this Yi City turned into this?"

Xiao Xingchen shook his head and said: "I don't know. I'm just a wandering Taoist... When I wandered here, I learned about the strange phenomenon here, so I went into the city to hunt at night. You have yet to understand the large number of walking corpses in the city and their powerful abilities. Some are agile and hard to guard against. After some are killed, corpse poison powder will erupt from their bodies, and they will be poisoned if they touch them. But if they are not killed, they will pounce on and bite again, and the result will be poisoned. It is really difficult to deal with .I hear your voices, there are many young masters inside, right? I advise you to leave as soon as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, the giggling sinister laughter of the pair of paper sisters came from outside the gate. This time, the laughter was sharper than ever.
