The Untamed: Wei Wuxian Reborn as a Child
Chapter 338 Su's Old House
The night was as dark as ink. Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji stood in front of the abandoned old house outside Qingping Town.
This old house looked particularly eerie in the night, with the gate closed and the paint on the door peeling off, revealing the rotten wood color.
The surrounding area was overgrown with weeds, and a strange smell filled the air among the wild grass and smoke.
Wei Wuxian looked up at the crumbling door plaque. The words on it were already blurred, but he could still barely make out the words "Su's Old Residence".
"Lan Zhan, I wonder where the Su family came from. How could they leave behind such a gloomy house?" Wei Wuxian said softly, unconsciously tightening his grip on Chen Qing.
Lan Wangji's eyes were calm, yet firm: "You'll find out once you go in."
After saying that, he stepped forward and gave a gentle push. The heavy door made a loud creaking sound and slowly opened, raising a cloud of dust.
Inside the gate was a deserted courtyard with cracked stone pavement and weeds growing in the cracks.
The doors and windows of the main house in front were closed, and the paper on the windows had long been torn into pieces, making a whistling sound in the night wind, as if something was struggling inside the house.
Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji walked into the courtyard cautiously, their steps slow and light, for fear of alerting the danger lurking in the dark.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew, bringing with it a pungent smell of decay.
Wei Wuxian wrinkled his nose. "Lan Zhan, this doesn't smell good. It seems there's something strange going on in this house."
Lan Wangji didn't answer, but just held Bichen tightly and observed his surroundings vigilantly.
They walked slowly along the stone path towards the main house. Just as they were about to reach the door, a black cat jumped out from the corner, giving Wei Wuxian a fright.
"Meow--" The black cat let out a shrill cry and then quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Wei WuXian crossed his arms, "This cat has joined in the fun."
The two of them arrived at the door of the main house, and Lan Wangji reached out and gently pushed the door open.
It was pitch black inside the door, and he couldn't see anything. Wei Wuxian pulled out a tinder from his pocket, lit it, and shone it forward. He saw that the room was filled with all kinds of old furniture, and the dust was so thick that it almost covered everything.
"Search separately to see if there are any clues."
As Wei WuXian spoke, he walked towards a bookshelf to the side. The bookshelf was filled with ancient books and scrolls. He picked up a book and opened it, only to find that the handwriting was blurred and difficult to read.
Lan Wangji walked to the other side of the room and found a tattered box on a table.
He gently opened the box and found a jade pendant inside with the word "Su" engraved on it. It looked like a token of the Su family.
"Wei Ying, come and take a look at this." Lan Wangji said.
Wei WuXian walked over, picked up the jade pendant and examined it carefully. "This jade pendant looks quite old. Perhaps it's related to the Su family's secret."
Just then, they heard light footsteps coming from upstairs.
Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji looked at each other, immediately put away the jade pendant, and walked towards the stairs.
The stairs made a creaking sound, and every step made people feel uneasy.
When we went upstairs, the corridor was filled with an even stronger stench.
They followed the direction of the smell and found a closed door at the end.
A faint green light shone through the crack in the door, which was the same color as the evil spirit.
Wei Wuxian took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
Inside the house, a huge formation emitted a faint green light, and a sarcophagus was placed in the center of the formation.
The sarcophagus was engraved with strange runes, and the lid was half-closed, with bursts of eerie aura emanating from it.
"What kind of formation is this? It looks very weird." Wei Wuxian said, while holding Chen Qing tightly, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.
Lan Wangji stepped forward and carefully examined the formation and the runes on the sarcophagus. "This formation seems to be used to summon and control evil spirits. I'm afraid there's something crucial inside the sarcophagus."
Just as they were about to approach the sarcophagus, a low roar suddenly came from the sarcophagus.
Immediately afterwards, a black shadow jumped out of the sarcophagus and pounced towards them.
Wei Wuxian hurriedly played Chen Qing, trying to suppress the black shadow with music.
Lan Wangji swung out Bichen and started fighting with the black shadow.
The black shadow was extremely fast and its shape was erratic, making it difficult for Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji to subdue it for a while.
During the fierce confrontation, Wei Wuxian discovered that the black shadow seemed to have a certain reaction to Chen Qing's music. Whenever the music became stronger, the black shadow's movements would become slower.
"Lan Zhan, I will use Chen Qing to restrain it, and you find an opportunity to attack its vital points!" Wei Wuxian shouted.
Lan Wangji nodded, and while the black shadow was affected by the music, he stabbed the black shadow in the chest with a sword.
The black shadow let out a scream, and the dark green light on its body flickered.
Wei Wuxian increased the strength of his playing, and the black shadow's movements became slower and slower, until it finally fell to the ground and dissipated in a cloud of black smoke.
Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the sarcophagus.
They looked into the sarcophagus and saw a skeleton lying inside, holding an ancient book in the skeleton's hands.
Lan Wangji reached out and picked up the book, on which were written the words "Su Family Forbidden Technique".
"It seems this is the source of everything." Wei Wuxian said with a serious expression on his face.
They opened the book and found that it recorded an evil spell that the Su family had practiced. This spell could control people's souls and transform them into evil spirits that could not feel pain.
In pursuit of powerful strength, the Su family did not hesitate to violate taboos, which eventually led to the destruction of the family.
But for some reason, these evil spirits have reappeared and are causing harm everywhere.
"Lan Zhan, we have to find a way to destroy this formation and this forbidden technique. We can't let it wreak havoc on the world again." Wei Wuxian said.
Lan Wangji nodded, and the two began to look for a way to break the formation.
After some research, they discovered that the core of the formation was a gem embedded in the wall.
Lan Wangji mobilized his spiritual power, cut the rune line connecting the gem with a sword, and then reached out to take the gem.
As the gem was removed, the light of the formation gradually dimmed and eventually disappeared.
Wei Wuxian set the book "Su Family Forbidden Techniques" on fire. Watching the flames devour the forbidden techniques, a stone in his heart fell to the ground.
"This should be completely resolved now." Wei Wuxian clapped his hands and said.
Lan Wangji looked at Wei Wuxian with a hint of relief in his eyes: "Well, go back to Qingping Town and tell everyone that there is no need to worry anymore."
The two walked out of the old house, and the sky was already turning pale.
Under the morning light, Qingping Town gradually regained its vitality.
The figures of Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji appeared particularly tall in the morning sun. They once again resolved a crisis in order to protect the peace of the world.
