When Wei Wuxian traveled back in time

These two people were hiding something in a strange way. Just looking at them made people feel that something was wrong. Jiang Cheng said, "Wei Wuxian, why are you covering him up? Let him speak."

Jiang Cheng's reaction only made Wei Wuxian hold his hand tighter. He laughed and said, "He's just a brat who talks big. Don't bother with him."

Qiyuan was trying to break free from his grasp with his claws and fangs bared, but Wei Wuxian felt that it would be better to make this guy speechless, so after some struggling, he simply pressed his mute point.

Prayer: "..."

After releasing him, Wei WuXian left him aside, leaving him to beg with a sad face to be untied.

Wei WuXian said, “Jiang Cheng, don’t worry about what he said. That’s the life of an entire town, and Wen Qing and Wen Ning are still inside. I still need to go and confirm it.”

Jiang Cheng looked at Wei Wuxian. He clenched his hands on both sides and then loosened them.

Although he also felt that something was fishy going on in Nancheng, after experiencing the failure of the last search, or perhaps they were really overthinking it, and after being severely reprimanded by Yu Ziyuan, he was worried that if he still couldn't find strong evidence to prove the weirdness of Nancheng, the consequences would be more serious than last time, and he didn't want to be reprimanded by Yu Ziyuan again.

But it is still a town after all.

Jiang Cheng said nothing more.

How could Wei Wuxian not know what Jiang Cheng was thinking? He patted his shoulder and said, "I understand your thoughts and I won't force you. I originally wanted to come here by myself, so I can go alone this time."

Lan Wangji, who had been listening without saying anything, spoke up after Wei Wuxian finished speaking: "I'll accompany you."

Wei WuXian smiled and replied, “Okay.”

A simple conversation between the two of them: I will accompany you in whatever you do. In an instant, something quickly passed through Jiang Cheng's mind, and he seemed to vaguely understand why Wei Wuxian liked Lan Wangji.

After Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian went out, they went straight to find the pit that the boss mentioned. Qiyuan, who had his mute point pressed, followed the two of them.

Wei WuXian stopped and looked back at him, saying, “We are going there to investigate. If we are discovered and start a fight with them, it will be very dangerous.”

Qiyuan hummed twice, and Lan Wangji said, "His acupuncture points haven't been untied yet."

It wasn’t that Wei WuXian forgot to untie him; it was that he had no intention of untying him in the first place.

I pray that the child will find it fun and novel and want to follow him wherever he goes.

Wei Wuxian wanted to keep him and Jiang Cheng in the inn together to wait for news, and by the way, sealed his mute point to prevent him and Jiang Cheng from saying some nonsense.

Now that he followed him out, Wei WuXian had no choice but to unblock his acupuncture points. Qiyuan took a deep breath and said, “Hu… If you don’t unblock my acupuncture points, I’ll suffocate to death. Also, since I came out with you, I have a part in this matter. Maybe I can be of some help.”

The vegetation in the mountains and forests is lush, and from time to time you can hear the sound of animals passing by quickly.

The mountain behind South City is very large and steep. Although it is possible to enter South City from the mountain besides the city gate, almost no one would do so because there is no foothold and one could be smashed to pieces if one is not careful.

Qiyuan himself is an animal that grew up in the mountains and forests and is very sensitive to smells. He led the way, smelling as he walked, and soon found the big pit that the boss had mentioned.

The three of them stood there and looked down. What they saw were dozens of corpses piled on top of each other.

If we count from the time point the boss mentioned, there was only one body at that time, and now, in just a few days, there are already so many at the bottom of the pit.

That means more than ten people will die that day.

The pit under my feet is very large, with a very gentle slope and is about six or seven meters deep. The color of the soil on the pit wall is different from that on the side. The soil is new. It seems that this pit was specially dug to store these corpses.

Wei Wuxian wanted to go down to check, but Lan Wangji stopped him and gave him a pill in his hand: "Take this, I'll go down first."

Lan Wangji had just taken two steps inside when Wei Wuxian pulled him back. Although he didn't believe that this was really an epidemic, he had to take precautions.

A nasal voice came from below, and Qiyuan pinched his nose and shouted to the two of them: "Look, there is not a single drop of moisture on this corpse. It's as if the blood and flesh have been sucked dry."

Upon hearing this, Wei Wuxian jumped down directly. Below him, Qiyuan was using a branch to remove the dirt from the corpse.

Wei Wuxian also found a branch to examine the body. He lifted up one of the corpse’s arms, and it was just as he had hoped: “Lan Zhan, look.”

Only skin and bones were left on the bodies. The skulls were protruding and the eyeballs were sunken. The hair was like hay. The outer layer of skin was so tight that the skeletons were exposed. It was impossible to tell the original appearance of the bodies.

Lan Wangji said, “A monster can greatly increase its power by eating human blood. If it wants to take a shortcut in cultivation, nourishing it with the blood of thousands of people in a short period of time can turn it into a very evil monster. Its level of ferocity is no less than that of the Slaughtering Black Tortoise.”

Wei Wuxian is the founder of the ghost way and knows that evil ghosts can control vicious corpses, but he does not quite understand the method of cultivation of this demon by transforming into another form. In the letter he wrote to Lan Wangji a few days ago, he told Lan Wangji his thoughts, and Lan Wangji also looked through all the ancient books in the library as he was told.

Wei WuXian said: “From what I have seen, Li Zhicheng and his men are actively creating a demon beast that can rival the Slaughtering Black Tortoise, so that they can seize the position of Immortal Supervisor in one fell swoop.”

Lan Wangji shook his head: "These are just guesses. Monsters that can absorb the essence and blood of thousands of people in a short period of time are not common. Not every monster can cultivate to this level through this shortcut."

Wei WuXian asked: “What are the conditions required?”

Lan Wangji said: "First, the monster's own strength is of the highest level, just like the bones that we humans are born with through cultivation. The bones cannot be changed by any means."

"The second is that no matter how advanced this monster is, it must have cultivated for a hundred years, otherwise it will easily explode and die in the process of artificial creation."

When Lan Wangji finished stating the second condition, the two of them looked at Qiyuan at the same time.

The phantom monsters themselves do not need very strong spiritual power. They only need one superb illusion technique to deal with all dangers.

And praying and making wishes are in line with the second condition that Lan Wangji just mentioned.

At this time, Qiyuan was squatting on the ground and fiddling with the corpse. The corpse had already become a mummy. He just moved it twice and directly removed the entire arm of the corpse.
