When Wei Wuxian traveled back in time

Over there, Ah Qing poked around for a while to vent her anger and then lay down to sleep.

I do not know how long it has been.

It was already very late. In addition to the chirping of insects in the grass, Xiao Xingchen could also hear the sound coming from Ah Qing.

Xiao Xingchen glanced sideways and found that the person had his back to him, and his body was curled up and trembling slightly.

Xiao Xingchen became alert and went over to check. He found that the person was already fast asleep, but his body was obviously shaking. Xiao Xingchen patted him, but the person did not wake up.

Xiao Xingchen had no choice but to pinch her philtrum. After a while, Ah Qing's eyes suddenly opened, and her white eyeballs suddenly enlarged, looking very creepy.

She stared at Xiao Xingchen without blinking and began to breathe heavily, as if she had just woken up from a nightmare.

For a long time, Ah Qing opened her mouth but no sound came out. Xiao Xingchen pressed an acupoint on her body and then she made a sound.

Ah Qing's lips were trembling, and after squeezing out two strange syllables from her throat, she began to speak incoherently: "... Taoist priest, I... I saw ghosts, so many ghosts, so many... They had very long tongues, no eyes, and their bodies were covered in blood... They wanted to bite me, they wanted to eat me, Taoist priest, please save me..."

The voice was low and soft, with a crying tone, and it was obvious that he was very scared.

Ah Qing looked very strange at this moment, with a dazed expression, which was somewhat similar to the condition of those people Xiao Xingchen had seen by the campfire before, but her symptoms were slightly milder than those people.

Xiao Xingchen looked back at Xue Yang who seemed to have fallen asleep. After a few seconds of silence, he gave his whisk to Ah Qing and comforted her, "There is no ghost. You had a nightmare. If you hold it when you sleep, you won't see those things again."

Ah Qing nodded blankly.

Xiao Xingchen patted her and said, "Go to sleep."

Xiao Xingchen sat next to her and waited until her breathing gradually stabilized before returning to his original seat.

Next to him was Xue Yang. His breathing was so light that one could not hear it unless one listened carefully.

Xiao Xingchen moved closer to check whether the person was asleep or not. As soon as he got closer, Xue Yang opened his eyes.

His pupils were dark and bright, and Xiao Xingchen paused and remained motionless.

Xue Yang raised one hand and put it behind his head, moving closer to the man: "What's wrong, Taoist Priest?"

Xiao Xingchen sat up straight and asked, "What did you do?"

Xue Yang said in a calm and somewhat innocent tone: "Didn't you see that I was sleeping, what else could I do?"

The two stared at each other for a few seconds without blinking, and Xiao Xingchen said, "It's already late, Ah Qing is timid, so don't bully her."

Xue Yang raised one corner of his mouth slightly: "What are you talking about, Taoist priest? How did I bully her?"

Xiao Xingchen sat back down and said, "Ah Qing is a little girl who loves to play. It's harmless for her to be a little bit naughty. Don't scare her."

Xue Yang leaned forward and said, "Since the Taoist priest has seen it, I won't hide it."

"Master, I can see that it is difficult for you to bring her with you. Do you really want this little liar to follow you?"

"I know you are kindhearted, Taoist priest. There are some things you cannot say harshly, but don't worry. If you want, I can help you scare her away."

Xiao Xingchen said: "Like just now."

Xue Yang nodded: "Not only that, if you feel it is inappropriate, I have other ways."

"Thank you." Xiao Xingchen said slowly, "But no need. Ah Qing is lively and outgoing. She can bring a lot of fun to me and Zichen. We also travel around and regard the world as our home. After the matter in Yicheng is over, I will take her to find Zichen and embark on a new journey."

Xue Yang was silent for a while: "Okay."

He could see that Xiao Xingchen had made up his mind, and it would be useless to say more. Moreover, saying more would just be like meddling in other people's business.

Xue Yang leaned against the tree and closed his eyes. After a while, he gradually recalled what Wei Wuxian said when he first arrived in Yicheng a few days ago.

"The more places you go, the more you know."

At this moment, an idea quietly arose in Xue Yang's mind.

……

After Wei Wuxian's ordeal, as expected, the next day, those who had fainted from fright the previous night woke up one after another around the campfire, each of them looking pale and listless.

They didn't know whether what they saw last night was a dream or a hallucination caused by drinking too much.

Wei Wuxian asked Lan Wangji and the others to hide in the dark while he handled the matter alone.

Wei WuXian spoke to gather those who were stunned and had no idea what year this matter was happening.

Wei WuXian asked, “Did you all enjoy your meal last night?”

"Or did something unusual happen?"

Wei WuXian asked these questions casually, wanting to see their reactions.

When questioned, everyone kept silent with lingering fear.

In the thin mist, everyone lowered their heads.

Wei WuXian said, “Let me put it this way. It’s better for people to be honest. I believe that not only I saw what happened yesterday, but you all saw it too. So what are your plans?”

The people below looked at each other in silence.

There was silence for a long time, and suddenly someone in the crowd spoke up, "What do you mean by these questions, young master? Are you saying that what happened last night was caused by ghosts?"

Wei Wuxian had the impression that this person was the one who asked him last night if he was a child of an aristocratic family. He wondered if his words at this moment revealed something.

Wei WuXian did not answer but asked, “What do you think?”

The man smiled suddenly: "I don't think so."

Wei WuXian was sure that he had seen something from this sentence, but it didn’t matter. Wei WuXian continued to advise everyone, “If you don’t learn the way of ghosts well, then they will be called evil and crooked by everyone. If ordinary people come into contact with them, they will inevitably be haunted by evil spirits for the rest of their lives.”

"No one should forget what happened yesterday. This may be the final warning from the evil spirit. I would like to advise everyone that life is a long journey and cherishing life is the first priority."

Many people were frightened by what happened yesterday. They heard that they would be haunted by evil spirits for the rest of their lives, so no one dared to gamble with their lives.

There were constant sobs and sighs.

While they were still hesitating, the man spoke again: "Sir, I have wanted to ask your name since the beginning of the banquet yesterday, but I never had the chance. Could you please tell me your name this time?"

Wei Wuxian didn't say anything. There was no need for him to say anything at this point. The fact that he was haunted by the vengeful spirit had already taken root deep in everyone's heart.

Wei Wuxian’s goal has been achieved, and he can just let them reflect on the rest themselves.

Wei WuXian gave a final reminder: “There are more ways to cultivate than just the ghost path, but there is only one life left for a person, so consider it carefully.”
