When Wei Wuxian traveled back in time

The man stopped.

Wei WuXian raised one corner of his mouth and said, “I knew it was you. I could hear the sound of the money on you from a long distance away.”

Hua Cheng stepped forward to the door and appeared in front of Wei Wuxian. Seeing that he had a good harvest, he raised an eyebrow and said, "It seems that I came back at the right time. You seem to have good luck."

Wei WuXian chuckled: “It’s not bad. With such strength, there’s nothing I can do.”

Hearing this, Hua Cheng stretched out his pale, bony hand and said, "You've been eating and drinking for free for so long, isn't it time to pay me back?"

Wei WuXian paused while putting the money in his pocket and looked up at him: "Lord City Lord, we are friends. You are a wealthy man and this entire Ghost City belongs to you. Why are you still fussing over such a small sum of money?"

Hua Cheng said: "Brothers haven't settled their scores yet, since you said we are friends, then we should settle our scores even more clearly."

Wei WuXian smacked his lips, took out the silver he had put back in his pocket, and gave him one third of it.

Hua Cheng’s hand continued to be extended, and Wei Wuxian said, “I’ll keep the rest for the flowers.”

Hua Cheng directly confronted him: "You have been eating my food and using my things for thirteen years. When have you ever paid for anything?"

After hearing this, Wei WuXian could only give him another third: "The rest is my capital, I need it again."

The cost is self-evident.

Hua Cheng took his hand back and didn't really let him take all of it.

Wei Wuxian put the remaining silver and money into his pocket, and tried to put his arm around Hua Cheng's shoulder like a good brother, but Hua Cheng was taller than him and it was uncomfortable for him so he put his arm down.

The two of them came to a private room in Ji Le Fang and sat down. A girl served them wine and food and then left.

Wei WuXian swirled the wine glass in his hand, drank it in one gulp, and then took a few bites of the food on the table: "Good wine and good food, it's a different treat to eat with the City Lord."

Hua Cheng glanced at him and said, "Looking at you like this, if you don't know, you might think you are a starving ghost."

Wei WuXian said nonchalantly, “That’s about the same. I was a poor fellow when I was up there anyway, and I was no different from a starving ghost.”

Hua Cheng said: "You have been eating and drinking for free here for so many years. If I hadn't come back today, I don't think you would be able to get a penny back no matter how long it takes."

“Say that again. Don’t talk about money every time you meet. It hurts our relationship.” Wei WuXian praised:

"City Master Hua, don't be stingy. Look at all the gold and silver on you. They jingle when you walk. If you take some of them off, it would be enough for me to use for the rest of my life."

"Besides, I have done a lot for you in the past few years since you came back. I don't go to prostitutes, I just gamble a little bit occasionally, and one person doesn't spend much money."

Hua Cheng didn't want flattery, he leaned back in his chair, took a sip of the wine, and said, "You've become a ghost, but you still don't know how to ask your superiors to make some for you in your dreams."

Wei WuXian’s hand paused for a moment, but he didn’t reply.

It's okay to send a dream, but let the people above burn it for him...

Wei Wuxian smiled. There was no one he could send a message to in his dreams, and no one remembered him, so how could anyone burn it for him?

Wei WuXian drank the wine in the cup, wiped his lips with the back of his hand, and changed the subject: "City Master Hua has been gone for three years this time. Have you found your noble lady?"

These two people's words accurately touched each other's sore spots, and the other party was completely unaware.

Hua Cheng put down the wine glass in his hand, and the wine fell onto the table and spilled a little.

Wei WuXian blinked, realizing something.

Well, he has touched City Lord Hua’s sore spot.

Wei Wuxian poured Hua Cheng a glass of wine and said comfortingly, "The world is so big, and our City Lord Hua has great magical powers. City Lord Hua has worked so hard, and I believe you will be able to reunite with that noble lady soon."

Listening to Wei Wuxian repeatedly mentioning his troubles, Hua Cheng pressed his brows and said, "Wei Wuxian, you'd better leave me next year."

Wei WuXian replied without even thinking: “No.”

Huacheng: “…”

Wei WuXian said: “City Master Hua’s place is the paradise among the Three Realms. No one would be willing to leave after enjoying it.”

Hua Cheng said: "You have been staying here and not going anywhere. Is there really no one or anything in this world that you can miss?"

Wei WuXian also leaned back in his chair and crossed his legs: “I am different from you, City Master Hua. You are running around everywhere just to find the one you love, but I…”

Wei WuXian laughed twice: “Those I care about, those who care about me, no longer exist.”

Huacheng already knew everything that had happened to Wei Wuxian when he took his soul back.

After a brief thought, Hua Cheng waved his hand and a picture appeared in front of the two of them. It was a scene of Lan Wangji sitting in front of the mountain gate watching the moon.

Hua Cheng asked: "Do you know this person?"

Wei WuXian said nothing.

Hua Cheng is the King of Ghosts. He can tell whether every soul is remembered by anyone in the world.

And this person is the one Huacheng feels the strongest thought in Wei Wuxian's soul.

Hua Cheng said: "Why don't you speak?"

Wei Wuxian moved his lips. Seeing someone he was familiar with in his previous life, he suddenly felt an emotion that could not be expressed in words. He turned his head away and said, "I don't know him."

Hua Cheng could clearly tell that he was lying, but he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he said, "This person has a strong desire for you. Did you see the jar of wine next to him? Today is Qingming Festival, and he is offering sacrifices to you."

Wei Wuxian didn't say anything, but after hearing Hua Cheng's last sentence, his heart couldn't help but warm. He never thought that there would be someone who would remember him, and that person was Lan Wangji.

……

After this incident, Wei Wuxian had the idea of ​​leaving Ji Le Fang and wandering outside. Since the spiritual power of the Cloud Recesses was very strong, he could not get in and could only wait for Lan Wangji to come out at the foot of the mountain.

Whenever Lan Wangji went out hunting at night, he would float above his head, follow behind him, and stare at him intently.

Even if Lan Wangji can't utter a few words a day.

Even though he was constantly looking at Lan Wangji's face, which looked as if he was filled with hatred and resentment because his wife had died, Wei Wuxian still enjoyed watching it.

Wei Wuxian thought he would continue to have fun like this.

But suddenly one day, when Wei Wuxian woke up from Ji Le Fang, he felt groggy and had no strength at all, so he went to find Hua Cheng.

What Huacheng said to him was: Congratulations, someone needs you, and you are going to return to the human world.

Wei Wuxian couldn’t believe it, but his soul was almost transparent at this point, so it would be a lie to say he didn’t believe it.

Hua Cheng said: "Once you go up, don't come down again. If I keep you for a few more years, you will eat up all my Ji Le Fang."

“That’s too much, too much. It’s ok for me to go up there.” Wei WuXian said jokingly:

"But after I live my life again, I will compare it with the life I had down there. If my life up there is not as good as my life down there, I will die immediately and come back to find you."

Hua Cheng did not reply. According to the rules of the world, souls returning to the human world would not retain any memories of the underworld.

So Wei Wuxian has no comparison.

……

world.

Lan Wangji walked alone to the area around Fojiao Town.

At this moment, in the direction of Mojiazhuang, a blue totem firework exploded brilliantly in the dark sky.
