[Forget Envy] Fate can't be said

Wei Wuxian walked silently on the way back to You's house, and Lan Wangji followed him half a body away.Thinking back to what Bai Ying said just now, it has completely exceeded their imagination.

Taking advantage of the darkness, the two held their swords in mid-air. Wei Wuxian stood behind Lan Wangji, leaning on his shoulders, overlooking the entire town.The town is surrounded by east and west mountains, which gather the atmosphere of the mountains and rivers, and the mountain springs pass through the town, taking away the turbidity of people.

Wei Wuxian pointed to the mountain spring and said, "I read a few miscellaneous notes before, and I mentioned the landform surrounded by two mountains with springs flowing through it. You see, this place itself is vast and sparsely populated, and the atmosphere of mountains and rivers is stronger than popularity. This mountain spring Passing through the town again, taking away more popularity. If the popularity cannot gather, it is bound to be suppressed by the two mountains."

"It's not suitable to settle down." Lan Wangji judged.

Wei Wuxian nodded and said: "Well, that's what it means. When Bai Ying said it just now, he also mentioned something casually. He said that dogs were often used to herd sheep in the northwest grassland. I don't understand, but after looking at the terrain, I probably understand a lot."

According to ancient books, this place is not suitable for living people to live in. If people are forced to live here, it will be like a living altar.The sacrificial offerings are human beings, and one of the guardians of the sacrificial offerings is the mayor of the past dynasties, and the other is the priests of the past dynasties.

Lan Wangji understood, and added, "I just don't know where the other priest is."

The other priest he was talking about, Bai Ying didn't know the specific situation, but he only knew that there was such a person with the surname Jin in the past, and he had never seen it before.

Wei Wuxian thought for a while, and said, "Do you still remember that after You Qingche died, the previous mayor invited an old woman to chant scriptures and mantras, could it be her?"

In Tian He's memory, the old woman was an unknown foreigner, and many people wondered why such an important ceremony invited an outsider.Now that I think about it, the possibility is very high.

Lan Wangji nodded, and said, "It may also be the person who killed You Qingche."

Wei WuXian said, "It's possible, let's go, go to the tomb of You that Wen Ning mentioned."

Lan Wangji activated his sword art, across the silent night sky.Because Wen Ning had been here before, the tombstone was concealed.In the genealogy on the wall of the tomb, there are six people not counting You Qinglie, and if calculated based on 50 years for one person, it will be 300 years.

With Bichen's light, Wei Wuxian lingered on the map with his fingertips.The drawing feels warm to the touch, as if it were made of wood chips mixed with animal skin, and it feels uneven to the touch.

He was pondering over the paper, while Lan Wangji's gaze stayed on a little bit below You Qinglie's name, as if it was slightly bulging.Gradually, Wei Wuxian also noticed the abnormality, and touched it directly with his hands, as if it was covered with a layer of paste.He borrowed Bichen, raised the corner of the animal skin with the tip of his sword, glanced at Lan Wangji, and opened it directly.

There is another name below - You Qingning

"Look, the name has been decided. I don't know which unlucky bastard will bear You Qingning's name." Wei Wuxian sighed.

According to Bai Ying, the priests of the Bai clan are responsible for searching for the descendants of You, not the descendants of the current mayor.This has been the case in the past dynasties, so the people buried in the tomb have no blood relationship, but are indistinguishable strangers.

But the only thing they have in common is their birthdays, and they were all born on the fifteenth day of the next lunar month.

After the priests of the past generations selected the next generation of priests, they would go out to travel around the town. On the surface, they took the next generation of priests out to meet the world, but secretly they were looking for babies that matched their birthdays.After several generations, the Bai family has already had a very complete deduction method, which can determine the direction according to the trend of the stars.But not every child who fits the date of birth is eligible. In terms of fate, he cannot be in harmony with his nominal father, that is, the former mayor of the town, and he must also be in harmony with the priest.

To put it bluntly, You Qingning is You Qingning's father in name, no matter where this You Qingning comes from, his fate cannot be in harmony with You Qingning, but must be in harmony with Bai Ying.

Searching in this way, there is no ten or eight years that cannot be returned.

But You Qinglie and You Qingche are exceptions, because they are not the children brought back by the past priests with Bai Ying, but brought back by the past priests alone.There are two reasons. First, Shiro Shadow who meets the standards of a priest was born late.Second, You Qinglie is the best candidate after several deduction, a rare encounter, time waits for no one.And You Qingche met by chance on the way back to town, with the same birth date and similar fate, so they were brought back together.Hand it over to the mayor, and give birth in a separate hospital.

In addition, Bai Ying deduced that the next mayor, that is, You Qingning in the genealogy, should be searched by the priest surnamed Jin. Second, Shirai Shadow has not yet selected the next priest.

It is unknown where You Qingning came from, but You Qinglie is fully prepared.From Bai Ying's mouth, he learned that he really wanted to get married, and getting married was a signal, and You Qingning had been found.

This was a code word between the priest and the mayor, but this time the mayor told the priest the other way around, so Bai Ying deduced that the child was found by the priest of the Jin family.

The two left the tomb during the discussion, Wei Wuxian closed the door of the tomb, and the moment he turned around, Lan Wangji protected him behind him, Bichen's cold light flashed, a huge rock cracked, and dust flew up.

From the position of the boulder just now, one person walked out, and then three or four people emerged from the forest.

"Good morning, you two." The visitor said slowly.

Wei Wuxian squinted his eyes, pressed the arm protecting his body, and greeted with a smile: "It's not early, it's just that I don't know that the mayor has to get up so early. Someone Wei has to go back to sleep and sleep in the cage, which will delay the work." gone."

"Ma'am, I'm afraid I can't help it." You Qinglie slowly approached to stop her.

Wei Wuxian looked at the few people who were slowly gathering, and said, "Why, mayor Youda is going to be violent?"

"If the two of you cooperate, you won't have to suffer from physical pain." You Qinglie said.

Wei Wuxian asked, "Oh? How do you cooperate?"

A strong man next to him, who looked like a farmer, threw out the rope and said, "Tie it up yourself."

Wei Wuxian knelt down and picked up one, said, "Just bring four people, don't you look down on us too much?"

You Qinglie took two steps back, keeping a distance and said: "No matter how many people you lead, you may not be able to defeat Hanguang-Jun, it's better to put on less pretense and scare Madam."

Knowing that he couldn't beat him, he still swaggered and threw him the rope to tie him up, which must have left them behind who had to be obedient.

Wei Wuxian paid attention to the depths of the woods, and indeed only four people were brought with him. Since it wasn't a numerical advantage, it was most likely a threat.They brought a lot of disciples, and they couldn't act rashly if they just grabbed one.

Thinking of this, Wei Wuxian said, "It seems that Mayor You Da must have a bargaining chip in his hand to make us obey."

"It's really easy to talk to smart people. The little disciples you brought are now under surveillance. It's the same sentence, if the two of you cooperate, everything will be fine."

Wei Wuxian frowned, and said, "Then it seems that this rope must be tied."

You Qinglie falsely praised: "Madam is more knowledgeable about current affairs than expected."

Wei Wuxian said, "But I have a request, I want to be tied with Lan Zhan."

"Madam, do you think I'm stupid?" You Qinglie sneered.

"Who knows how long we'll be tied up, without him, I won't be able to sleep at night, and I won't be able to eat during the day. It's hard for me, and it's hard for us all." Wei WuXian walked towards Lan WangJi as he spoke, holding onto his shoulders and sprinting upwards, Legs crossed around the waist, arms around the neck.

Lan Wangji froze, put Bichen down in a hurry, supported his hip with one hand, and hugged his back with the other, and only after holding him firmly did he hear "cooperate".

The four strong men had never seen such a bold move before, and they froze in place, not knowing whether to separate them, and finally looked at You Qinglie.

"Madam is trying to play a scoundrel?" You Qinglie said coldly.

Wei WuXian straightened his upper body, put his hands on his shoulders, and said, "I don't know who was the one who blackmailed us first, it's really a villain who complained first. Also, I'm hugging my Taoist companion, what kind of rascal." Seeing You Qinglie As if to retort, he pointed at him and continued with a loud voice: "There is still more! Another old saying in our country is that it is better to demolish ten temples than a couple of people, or you will be struck by lightning."

He spoke viciously, his eyes glowed red, and the birds within a few meters suddenly flew away at the same time, scaring the four strong men back half a step.

You Qinglie was also overwhelmed by the sudden murderous aura, watching Hanguang-Jun follow his back, the red light in his eyes slowly dissipated.After all this time, I kind of believed what he said just now, "I'm not going to have a good time, so let's not have a good time."

You Qinglie said to the four of them: "Just tie it up like this, make it tighter."

Dawn should have been quiet, but now it was filled with all kinds of yelling from someone from Wei.

"Take it easy, if you bully us Lan Zhan and ignore you, just tie it up hard."

"You, you, where are you touching? Treat me as blind."

"Hey, big brother, it's hurting my bones, please fix it for me."

It is more difficult to tie a person than to serve them. The four strong men tied their hands and feet, but did not adjust the rope.He leaned on Lan Wangji's shoulder and yelled, so naturally people felt sorry for him.So Lan Wangji raised his arm to protect the bone he mentioned, but just to move it, the rope was broken.

The four strong men cussed and reattached what had been broken.

"What's the use of Ma'am delaying this time." You Qinglie said.

"Look at what you're saying, it's hard to say that after it's tied up, can you untie the heavy bundle for me?" Wei Wuxian said disdainfully.

"The ability to speak and speak." You Qinglie said to the four of them with a dark face: "Hurry up, don't listen to his nonsense."

After a while, the four of them tied the two tightly together, and then took them to a dilapidated hut deep in the woods. The missing tiles on the roof were only covered with hay.

Wei Wuxian couldn't help but clicked his tongue and said, "I can't change the place, there are no wild animals around here."

You Qinglie ignored him, ordered someone to block the broken window with hay, walked up to them, touched everything in the two people's arms, then quickly backed away, leaning back against the wall, fiddled with the three bags in his hand, and asked: "The murderer who was entrusted to the two should be caught."

By asking this question, he knew who the murderer was, but he couldn't figure out whether he was a bystander like a white shadow, or a planner.

Wei Wuxian was thinking in his heart whether he would be detrimental to You Qingche, but right now Lan Wangji didn't have the heart to think about it.He was looking anxiously at the person who opened the Qiankun bag to search, and took out a stack of letter paper.

Wei Wuxian had also flipped through the Qiankun bag before, and he was quite impressed with the stack of papers, didn't he just want to read it but didn't read it, if there was a divorce letter written in advance... the consequences would be disastrous.

After You Qinglie flipped through a few pages and read them, he sighed, "Oh, Madam is really held in high esteem."

Hearing this, Wei Wuxian asked softly, "What did you write?"

"Nothing." Lan Wangji replied.

Well, I asked him what was written in the private letter, and what was the difference from the person who snatched it to read it directly, so Wei Wuxian changed the question and said: "There is no such thing as a divorce letter."

"none."

When Wei Wuxian felt relieved and turned his head again, You Qinglie had already rummaged through the money bag, looking left and right at the spirit lock bag, but couldn't find a way to unlock it.

"It seems that this is what I'm looking for." You Qinglie turned the spirit lock bag at them, "The expressions of the two of you have already told me, thank you."

Wei Wuxian said bitterly, "Yes, that's where we found the murderer."

The thoughtful You Qinglie, facing the other party's sudden acknowledgment, took a closer look at the bag, suddenly not so sure.

Wei Wuxian saw the right moment, and continued: "Threat us with the children, and then threaten Bai Ying with the thing you are looking for now. It's a trick like praying mantis, cicada, oriole."

When You Qinglie heard this, his brows narrowed slightly, and he quickly returned to normal and said: "When did Ah Ying trust outsiders, I was a little surprised."

Wei Wuxian insinuated, "It's even weirder to ask this question. I'm an outsider, and I have no reason to lie to him. Unlike some people, I have black hands behind my back."

"Madam is eloquent, I can't say enough." You Qinglie said, throwing the money bag and Qiankun bag not far away from them, and prepared to leave with the lock bag.

But Wei WuXian stopped him and said, "Mayor You, there was no grievance between you and the Lan family, but it changed after a few days of detention."

"What do you mean, ma'am?"

Wei Wuxian said: "Now that the murderer has been caught, the purpose of Lan's trip is over. You locked us here because you thought we were redundant and ruined your plan. Why don't you let us go."

You Qinglie sneered and said, "Oh, madam, let's save it. It's still the same sentence, you cooperate and be honest, and I guarantee that the disciples of the Lan family will be unharmed."

After speaking, he walked out.Wei Wuxian said loudly without giving up: "You are going to get married." You Qinglie stopped and continued to walk outside.Wei Wuxian continued: "Is the bride's surname Jin?"

The bride's surname is based on guesswork. After all, the mayor's bedside person does not allow others to sleep soundly, and it is even more difficult to find a woman who can accept other people's children and take good care of them.So the probability of guessing that the surname is Jin is very high.

Wei WuXian looked at his back that was frozen in place, and said in his heart: "There is a door", but he didn't avoid showing his feet, so he didn't continue talking.

You Qinglie took two steps to the door, picked up the wooden door from the ground, and then turned around and said quietly: "How does Madam know? Don't lie to me and say that it was Aying who said it. Priests of the Bai family did not know about it from the priests of the Jin family since ancient times. existence, and A Ying's father left early, let alone know about it."

"Yeah, I think about who told me..." Wei Wuxian pretended to be embarrassed, and said regretfully, "Oh, I can't remember. Lan Zhan, help me think about it."

Lan Wangji turned to You Qinglie at the right time, and said, "You."

Facing the teasing of singing and singing together, You Qinglie said coldly: "The surname Jin was given by the madam, why did I tell you?"

"Just say it casually." Wei Wuxian smiled and leaned on Lan Wangji's shoulder.

"Madam can say it casually, and treat me as an ignorant child?" You Qinglie said angrily.

Wei WuXian said, "You're either a child, or you just don't understand the Five Elements. Do you know what the first of the Five Elements is?"

"Gold." You Qinglie replied.

Wei Wuxian nodded, and asked further: "Then do you know what the white five elements belong to?"
