Chapter 99: Cemetery Forest "Are you sure the tracking spell is pointing to this place?" ...
Xie Wuyang pursed his lips, his gaze lingering between the two disciples for a moment, looking at Yun Wanzhou as if he wanted to say something but stopped.
Desire itself is a normal human nature, and it is most vividly reflected in the demons.
Xie Wuyang was greedy for money and lustful. He encountered many such things during his reign.
However, the group of demons had no intention of rebelling and remained respectful to him. As long as it didn't cross his bottom line, Xie Wuyang didn't bother to pay any attention to them.
Yun Wanzhou was obviously different from him.
His moral ethics are much higher, both towards outsiders and himself.
Not to mention that the two disciples had brought this upon themselves when the demons were rampant.
The two disciples lowered their heads so low that they were about to fall to the ground. After hearing Yun Wanzhou's cold words and ridicule, they clenched their fists and finally raised their heads when they could no longer endure it.
"Immortal Venerable, this is our fault, and we have admitted our mistake. Why would you be so unforgiving?"
Xie Wuyang's eyebrows twitched and he thought to himself that something was wrong.
It's fine if these two disciples were scolded, but why did they even commit suicide? Yun Wanzhou is already furious, isn't this just adding fuel to the fire?
"How shameless and presumptuous!" Yun Wanzhou gritted his teeth and used all his life's courtesy to avoid yelling out loud.
"Master, how about we first..." Seeing that the situation was not good, Xie Wuyang tried to mediate.
Although the other party was at fault in this matter, the sect would turn a blind eye to such matters, and most people would just pretend not to see it.
If word gets out that Yun Wanzhou is so serious, it will probably cast a shadow over the disciples' hearts.
With the mentality of "less trouble is worse than more", Xie Wuyang tugged at Yun Wanzhou's sleeve.
“Master thinks…”
Yun Wanzhou's eyes swept across Xie Wuyang's hand, his expression still cold. He seemed to want to say something but hesitated. He flicked his sleeve, snorted coldly, and said nothing more.
Xie Wuyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at the two disciples kneeling on the ground. "Master and I have important matters to attend to. Let's put today's matter behind us. I hope you two can reflect on your actions and not make the same mistake again."
These words gave enough face to both parties and secretly gave Yun Wanzhou an image of being reasonable and conscientious. Even Xie Wuyang himself couldn't help but admire him.
The two disciples knelt on the ground, not saying a word. They neither stood up nor objected. It seemed that they were competing with him.
If you stay here any longer, who knows what might happen.
Xie Wuyang thought clearly. He pushed Yun Wanzhou around, pinching his shoulders and soothing him. "Master, it's inappropriate for us to interfere too much in the affairs of the Lotus Wu Sect. Why not talk to Jiang Shutong and let him, the Sect Leader, handle it. The most urgent thing is to find Jiang Lin first."
Yun Wanzhou said nothing, and stared at the two disciples in front of him with cold anger for a moment, and finally turned his back under Xie Wuyang's earnest gaze.
Xie Wuyang felt relieved and hurriedly followed, "This ghost place is so dark and eerie, even the disciples are a little scared. Let's walk faster."
As he spoke, he raised his hands and placed them on Yun Wanzhou's shoulders, pushing him forward with big strides.
The firelight not far away was scattered and chaotic, flickering, and I didn't know which team of disciples of Lianwu belonged to.
Xie Wuyang followed behind him and could barely make out the outline of Yun Wanzhou's face in the moonlight.
The lines are smooth, strong and distinct, adding a touch of other flavor in the haziness.
The five senses of a monk are always much more sensitive than those of an ordinary person, but he cannot see the things behind him no matter what.
Knowing this, Xie Wuyang looked boldly and openly at the face of the person in front of him without any scruples.
After walking a short distance, Yun Wanzhou stopped and asked, "What are you doing?"
Xie Wuyang thought to himself: What else can I do? Just look at you?
But he was respectful, not daring to overstep the line. "The moon is dark and the wind is strong. I am watching the road ahead."
In the distance, the fire dyed half the sky red, illuminating everything.
Yun Wanzhou fumbled for a while, then suddenly turned around and said, "Hurry up, or Jiang Lin..."
Come to an abrupt end.
Xie Wuyang had come to the front without anyone noticing. The two of them were almost nose to nose, eye to eye, their breathing intertwined, and their gazes collided with each other, as if there was a flash of lightning. If they moved forward just an inch, a raging fire would be ignited.
Xie Wuyang's gaze moved up along Yun Wanzhou's chin, his scrutinizing and aggressive eyes mixed with panic and excitement, like a wild beast entering a crowd for the first time, curious but not daring to act rashly.
Until Yun Wanzhou blinked first and took a step back, "Why are you suddenly getting so close?"
Xie Wuyang blinked innocently, "It was clearly Master who turned back first, so why are you blaming me?"
"It's because you got so close to me for no reason!" Yun Wanzhou tightened his fingertips, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, gritting his teeth and glaring angrily.
Even if you are not right, you still have to argue with your rights and protect the pitiful self-esteem and arrogance in your heart.
Xie Wuyang was stunned at first, but then he found it amusing. He could have clearly followed the other party's wishes and ended the matter sooner, but he had to add fuel to the fire, making it burn even more fiercely.
"Then how did Master know who came first and who came last? Could it be..." Xie Wuyang took a step forward and raised the corner of his lips, "Master was peeking..."
Xie Wuyang stretched out his voice, and before he could utter the word "I", Yun Wanzhou suddenly raised his hand and pushed him back a few steps.
"Don't be so presumptuous." A cold voice dropped three words.
The moonlight was dim and far away, not close enough to just be able to see the fine lines on the skin, so Xie Wuyang could not see anything.
Including the expression and gaze of the person in front of me, I naturally missed the fleeting blush and embarrassment.
"Master, I apologize. I overstepped my bounds. It's just that this is the first time I've seen you like this, so I can't help but be a little surprised." Knowing the man's temperament well, Xie Wuyang decided to withdraw while he was ahead and slowly stepped forward. "Master, do you care about what happened between the two of you just now?"
Yun Wanzhou's expression brightened slightly, and he said without hesitation, "Faced with a powerful enemy, indulging in love is natural..."
"Disciple is not talking about that." In the darkness, Xie Wuyang's eyes were intensely intrusive, with some unusual, uncontrollable emotions probing, "Disciple is talking about the relationship between men."
Yun Wanzhou paused, his expression becoming stunned and surprised.
"Since ancient times, the unity of yin and yang has created harmony and beauty, and everyone believes in this. However, in the vast world of cultivation, not everyone believes this. I am simply curious..." Xie Wuyang lowered his eyes, his tone respectful and humble, but within him lay a fire that threatened to burn through his chest. "What does Master think?"
"Isn't this against following the natural order of things?" Yun Wanzhou was silent for a moment and then asked.
"Are people born to obey fate?"
"Those who go against the will of Heaven will suffer the consequences."
"That's cultivation." Xie Wuyang took a deep breath and looked up at him firmly. "Same-sex couples are not uncommon in the world of cultivation. When did you hear about them being punished by heaven?"
The young immortal was left speechless by his disciple's tricky questions. He wanted to speak but hesitated, as if something was stuck in his throat, unable to move up or down. His suffocating look made Xie Wuyang feel both distressed and amused.
I have clearly known this person for two lifetimes, and I should have known his temperament and character, as well as his selflessness and adherence to rules, very well.
For something that is difficult for ordinary people to tolerate, for Yun Wanzhou, it is no longer something that can be described by just the four words "treason".
Xie Wuyang knows this matter better than anyone else, and wants an answer more than anyone else.
The air had become silent and still, and even the sound of the wind had become barely perceptible.
The firelight in Xie Wuyang's eyes was scattered and fragmented. In the light and darkness, there was only a figure standing still, with an outstanding posture, lonely and cold.
Xie Wuyang's shoulders relaxed and he felt deflated.
Since his rebirth, he often wondered why he lost to Yun Wanzhou despite having the same level of cultivation as Yun Wanzhou in his previous life.
At first he told himself that it was because he was notorious and Yun Wanzhou was popular among the people.
Now that I think about it, it’s not just that.
Yun Wanzhou is more decisive than him.
It was like a sword stabbing into the chest, leaving no room for maneuver.
It wasn't until the last moment that he came to his senses.
He is a devil, how could anyone really persuade him to turn back?
Ordinary people are like this. Yun Wanzhou was different at first, and he was also like this later.
"Forget it." Xie Wuyang frowned slightly, hiding the emotion in his eyes. "Master is very busy, so I guess he doesn't care much about the romantic affairs in the cultivation world. It was my fault for being inconsiderate and speaking inappropriately. Master, please don't take it to heart."
His crow-feather eyelashes trembled, and after a moment of silence, Xie Wuyang looked up and met Yun Wanzhou's gaze.
Those eyes were so unfathomable, so dark that one could not see the edge, and their emotional ups and downs were also buried under the ice, making them difficult to grasp.
Others were afraid of him because of this, and Xie Wuyang hated him in his previous life.
But now, when Xie Wuyang looked at those eyes, he felt a chilling coldness that seemed to wipe out his heartbeat and flesh.
Perhaps it was because he was overwhelmed by the chaos that happened today that Xie Wuyang no longer had the energy to maintain his outward emotions. Even someone as slow-witted as Yun Wanzhou could sense something was amiss. His lips opened and closed, hesitating to speak, "I..."
He was interrupted again by Xie Wuyang as if nothing had happened.
"Master, aren't you leaving?" Xie Wuyang feigned a casual air, his lips curled. "Just now you were complaining about others not considering the overall situation, but now you're chatting with your disciples about gossip."
Xie Wuyang strode around Yun Wanzhou and said, "The tracking technique shows that Jiang Lin is still in Lianwu. Why don't we split up..."
Xie Wuyang curled and tightened his fingers, took a deep breath, and was about to continue when he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.
Yun Wanzhou walked around to his side in two or three steps, stirring up a gust of night wind, bringing a cool breeze to his face. "It's just a few words, it's nothing serious."
Xie Wuyang's heartbeat started to beat slightly, and he heard the person beside him say, "Besides, it's not a trivial matter."
My chest suddenly felt like it was beating like a drum.
…
Yun Wanzhou is extremely slow in emotions, but he is extremely cautious and shrewd in his dealings with others.
The two followed the tracking technique and soon came to a deserted place.
There was no one around, only dead grass, dry branches, and cracked ground. Occasionally, a few crows flew by, their cries like weeping echoed, making the place even more eerie and terrifying.
Xie Wuyang followed behind Yun Wanzhou, vaguely catching sight of the densely packed stone tablets not far away, getting closer and closer until the details of the inscriptions on the tablets came clearly into his sight.
The tomb of the 31st leader of the Lianwu Sect - Venerable Lianqiao.
The tomb of Elder Siying of Lianwumen.
The tomb of Fan Wenxuan, the disciple of Elder Yunxia of Lianwu Sect.
The 27th leader of the Wax Apple Sect...
…
"This is..." Xie Wuyang's pupils trembled and his steps stopped abruptly.
Yun Wanzhou frowned slightly, and his expression was obviously not very good. "Liangwumen Tomb Forest."
"Grave forest..." Xie Wuyang muttered to himself.
Life and death are determined by fate, and this applies to both mortals and immortals.
In the world of cultivation, monks fight against demons and defend the way, so casualties are common.
The cemeteries of various sects are their resting places after death. This is not uncommon in the world of cultivation.
However, after many days, when Xie Wuyang heard Yun Wanzhou mention the word "cemetery forest", he couldn't help but think of the Holy Burial Tomb behind the Demon Palace.
The place where the soul of his biological mother, Madam Xie, resides after her death.
They say that all past events will be extinguished at the time of death.
I didn't feel much when Xie Wuyang died.
But when I recall it now, it feels like a lifetime ago.
I don't know if it's because he is cold-hearted and heartless by nature. He was obsessed with the Nightmare Stone to revive the people in the tomb, and even went into the devil's way and suffered heaven's punishment. Now, there is nothing but a stranger to him.
It was as if all the hatred had dissipated along with the past, leaving only Yun Wanzhou and the figure in white clothes and extraordinary talent in front of him.
Xie Wuyang felt a mixture of emotions.
"Are you sure the tracking spell is pointing here?"
The cold and calm voice brought Xie Wuyang back to reality.
Xie Wuyang nodded, "Yes."
He is now at the Golden Core stage, which is enough to support a complete tracking technique and there is no way he can make a mistake.
"The Immortal Gate Cemetery is where the souls of the dead from all generations are buried. It is a forbidden area for all sects and schools. No one should disturb it unless necessary. What is Jiang Lin doing here?" Yun Wanzhou narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression stern.
Xie Wuyang's brows tightened, and a bad thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
