Chapter 26 Chapter 26 True

"After we parted last time, I came back and devoted myself to studying how to deal with you. After countless trials and training, I finally found your weakness. This time, let us have a good competition to see which one is better, the Shura Path or the Ghost Path..." The man said a lot of things in a row.

[Who is this? ] Yun Du asked secretly.

[Ghost King——Yan Xiu.] Wei Xin answered.

【I have long admired you. 】

[You've heard of him for so long, what the hell? You can't even recognize him. There must be a limit to how long you can practice in seclusion!] As soon as Wei Xin saw his expression, he knew that Yagen didn't recognize him.

Gui Luomen practices the way of ghosts. Before the last war between the good and evil, his strength should not be underestimated. There was a situation of three-way confrontation.

However, as the Xuanji Sect continued to grow and develop, the monks discovered that the Shura Path not only allowed them to cultivate supreme skills, but also did not require them to destroy their physical bodies and maintain their dignity, so more and more disciples joined the Xuanji Sect.

During the war, Gui Luomen was in the neutral camp. To put it bluntly, he wanted to reap the benefits while sitting back and taking advantage of the situation. However, this made people from both sides dislike him and no one wanted to be associated with him.

Gui Luomen's disciples became fewer and fewer, and naturally they gradually declined.

But as the head of a family after all, Yan Xiu's name is still well known to everyone.

The left side of this person's body is entirely made of bones from head to toe. His heart cannot be seen because it is on the right side and is only one-fifth the size of an ordinary person's.

That’s why outsiders called him “half human, half ghost face, with a narrow head and a clenched fist.”

[Are you really oblivious to what’s happening outside?] Wei Xin was curious.

[I just don’t care about ghost cultivation.] Yun Du said.

【Why? 】

【Ugly.】

【......】

Wei Xin thought that he was indeed a Hanxiu, as his focus was different from that of others.

Yan Xiu chattered a lot, but Wei Xin didn't even look at him. Instead, he kept flirting with a strange man and completely ignored him.

Yan Xiu appeared in front of him angrily.

"Oh my god!" Wei Xin was startled by the sudden appearance of half a skull. He punched him on the forehead. The head turned half a circle and then turned back immediately.

"It's been so many years, and you're still doing this? You can't beat them, so you just scare them, right?!" Wei Xin scolded.

Yan Xiu was also furious: "Did you hear what I just said?!"

"I heard it, I heard it." Wei Xin pried open his body and didn't speak to his face at all.

He kind of understood why Yun Du didn't want to care about Gui Xiu anymore.

It's really too ugly to communicate.

He leaned against Yundu and asked, "What did he just say?"

"He said that apart from your strong talent, high cultivation, good looks and a good father, you have no other good points." Yun Du concluded.

Wei Xin raised his eyebrows, turned his head and asked Yan Xiu: "Really?"

"Is this what I'm talking about?!" Yan Xiu looked at Yun Du, "Who are you?"

"I just gave a brief summary. I am his friend - Linfeng, nice to meet you." Yun Du said.

"Which Lin Feng?" Yan Xiu went over the name in his mind. He had never heard of this name before.

Wei Xin also looked at Yun Du with interest.

"Linfeng in Yushu Linfeng, the surname is Xu."

Wei Xin: “…”

I knew he was not holding back his fart, and I knew as soon as I heard it that he was plagiarizing Xu Yingjun's name.

Yan Xiu: “…” Nobody!

Yan Xiu simply ignored him, took out a finger bone from his wide robe, and handed it to Wei Xin: "This is what Yan Lin asked me to give you. I believe you have already figured out the purpose of my birthday banquet. She hopes you can come in person."

Wei Xin frowned slightly, took the finger bone, and observed it for a moment: "This is not her finger bone."

"Nonsense, are her fingers really that thick?"

"Whose is this then?"

"How would I know who it is? Just take it if she gives it to you. Do you think I'd make this trip?" Yan Xiu was so angry. "Just wait. Tomorrow is the day you die."

Having said this, he turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared.

Wei Xin lifted up his finger bones and examined them carefully.

"Can you tell with your naked eyes whether it is Miss Yan's?" Yun Du asked casually.

"Yan Lin has a thin body, but the finger bones are thick, strong and long, which is clearly a man's hand." Wei Xin couldn't figure out what Yan Lin's intention was in giving him this thing, so he could only put it away for the time being and wait and see.

"Thin body?"

"Not only is she skinny, she's also very revealing, just like her brother."

"Also half human and half face?"

Wei Xin shook his head: "That's not the case. Girls love beauty. When one of their hands turned into bones, they stopped practicing ghost arts and went to learn other things. After learning so much, they mixed things up. Their internal energy was blocked, and they could no longer improve their cultivation. They could only maintain their original state."

Yun Du heard his somewhat regretful tone and asked, "I heard that she once saved your life?"

"Who told you?"

"I figured it out through divination."

"Who are you kidding? It must be Nan Huang." Wei Xin was leaning against the window, and when he saw him coming over, he just stared at him intently.

Wei Xin dodged several times, but the other party kept moving towards him.

He leaned back, Yundu held his waist with his hand and brought him back: "Don't fall down."

"You're lucky to not die from the fall." Wei Xin sat back down and patted his sleeves. "Yan Lin did save me, but it wasn't a serious matter. If it weren't for her, I would have been found sooner or later. So I don't have to do you a favor."

"What does this mean?" Yun Du asked, "What did you do before--"

"Who is it?!" Xique's voice suddenly came from outside.

The two turned their heads and saw Xique standing on the street, carrying a few sneaky people back.

Just now Wei Xin instructed Xique to set up a maze in this inn to see if anyone would fall into it. Unexpectedly, they caught a fish so quickly.

"Who are you?" Wei Xin asked.

One of them threw out a talisman and tried to escape, but he couldn't escape Xique's maze at all. The others looked at them in panic.

"It looks like you guys know me." Wei Xin sat down proudly, "Who sent you here? You don't want to tell me, right? Okay."

Several people: "......"

Please give us some time to speak!

"Xique, take them to your Soul Hoop Array to play."

When they heard about the soul-binding formation, they were frightened.

It is said that the Xuan Ji Sect's Soul Hoop Array is used to draw out a person's chess soul and refine it, making it impossible for the person to live or die. Although the body is not destroyed, the soul and spirit are in torment, with no possibility of resurrection.

"We'll talk, we'll talk!" Several people begged for mercy.

"I was sent by the owner of Tengshe Island to find out your whereabouts."

"I was sent by the leader of the Bloodthirsty Cult to... poison you."

"I was sent by Yanlongxu."

“I’m from the Pure Land Temple.”

"The Demon Sealing Society."

They are all small sects with various backgrounds, attached to Gui Luo Men. They usually restrain each other and pretend to be polite, but when something big happens, they can no longer hide their thoughts.

Yan Xiu held a birthday banquet to invite his sister-in-law, so these leaders would definitely come, and they coveted the position of the leader. When they learned that Wei Xin would also come, they sent people to test him.

"My Lord, what should we do with these people?" Xique asked.

Wei Xin pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned his head and asked Yun Du in an ambiguous tone: "What do you think?"

Several people looked at Yun Du, unable to guess his identity. According to the information they had received, this person did not look like one of the four hall masters of Xuanji Sect, let alone Elder Yin.

"Let him go." Yun Du said.

"Okay, as you say." Wei Xin snapped his fingers, and Xique put away the formation.

"Thank you, Demon Lord, for not killing us!" Several people kowtowed repeatedly.

"No need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank this... Young Master Linfeng." Wei Xinchong curled the corners of his mouth at Yundu.

"Thank you, Master Linfeng!" Several people thanked Yundu again, and then retreated in a panic.

Xique glanced at Yundu and was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the Lord would listen so much to the advice of the pretty boy.

"Master, are you really going to let them go back like this?" Xique was puzzled. No one had ever been able to return safely from the hands of Xuanji Sect in the past. Recently, the Master seemed to have changed a little.

"Well, who told me that this was Linfeng's suggestion, right?" Wei Xin held his chin with one hand and smiled with his head tilted.

"Yes." Yun Du smiled helplessly, "When they go back, they will tell the leader that there is a young master Linfeng with unknown origins by Wei Xin's side, and he seems to be very important to Wei Xin. Then, I will be the target they want to approach and attack the most."

"Since you knew that, why did you let them go back? Wouldn't it be easier to let them die here?" Wei Xin still smiled heartlessly.

"If I die here, there will be another wave of people coming to get information. It's better to divert the trouble away, right?"

Wei Xin bared his teeth: "Who told you to follow me out? There will be no good consequences if you follow me. I don't know what I will face next. Are you afraid?"

"I'd be willing to share your risk," Yun Du said.

Wei Xin's smile paused and his eyelashes trembled.

A long stare.

He turned to look at Xique, who pushed him out wisely. Downstairs, he ran into Nanhuang, who had just returned from her errand. Seeing that she was about to go find the Lord, he immediately stopped her and said, "Don't go."

“Why?” Nan Huang was anxious to take credit.

Xique glanced up mysteriously: "It's telling its true feelings inside."

Nan Huang suddenly realized: "Tsk tsk tsk, he's getting sloppy again in just a moment. The Lord really likes this pretty boy too much."

"His name is Xu Linfeng, so stop calling him that, or the Lord will cut off your tongue."

"I know, I know."

It's late at night.

Yundu lay flat on his back with his clothes on, sleeping so peacefully, as if he were in a grave.

Wei Xin couldn't understand why he could still retain so many mortal habits. Since he couldn't sleep anyway, he decided to go out for a walk.

The streets were deserted and cold, so he stole a jug of wine from the home of a ghost shop owner and sat on the roof, drinking under the moon.

From here you can see the distant mass graves, with ghostly shadows, flickering fluorescent lights and gentle moonlight.

I feel a little sad.

So I burned a piece of talisman paper for a distant friend whom I hadn’t talked to for a long time.

——Do you have any friends?

Other: This is natural.

Wei Xin: If I ask you to risk your life for a friend, would you be willing to do it?

The other party: A gentleman will die for his friend.

Why is it always like this?

Wei Xin couldn't understand what kind of emotion this was. Why would one be willing to die for someone else?

He had never had this kind of experience before, so when Yun Du said that, his first reaction was surprise, confusion, and incomprehension.

But I don't know why, looking at the smile that Yundu always has on his face, I have never been able to tell whether it is true or false, but this time I had a rare intuition - he is not lying.

After realizing this, he began to feel upset, but also vaguely happy.

It turns out that this notorious villain also has friends who are willing to go through fire and water for him.

He returned to the inn and pulled Yundu out of bed.

"What happened?" Yun Du opened his eyes and asked.

"Get up, I'll buy you a drink!"

"Where to drink?"

Wei Xin curled his lips and said, "Tengshe Island, Bloodthirsty Sect, Flame Dragon Ruins, Paradise Temple, what else?"

"The Demon Sealing Society."

"right."

That night, Wei Xin kicked open the doors of these sects and took Yun Du to get wine in a dignified manner. No one dared to stop them wherever they went, and those who tried to stop them would be seen in front of Yanluo Palace.

The two of them carried a dozen bottles of wine, sat on the roof of the inn, watched the dawn break, and drank to their heart's content.

"Now these people will think that you brought me here to provoke them on purpose." Yun Duqian said with a smile.

"It's up to them to think whatever they want. If they want to come to you... and cause us trouble, they have to consider whether they have the ability." Wei Xin drank so much that he lay down and rested his head on his head with his hands folded.

Yun Du turned around and looked down at him, his eyebrows slightly curved: "Are you trying to protect me?"

"Do you still need my protection?"

"I'm not indestructible. I also feel pain and get scared. Naturally, I need someone to protect me." Yun Du said righteously.

"Yundu."

"Um?"

Wei Xin sat up suddenly, almost bumping into his cheek, staring at his face, and persuaded him: "You should join our Xuanji Sect. Elder Yin is getting older, and it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to communicate with him. If you come to Xuanji Sect, I will give you another position as an elder, second only to the first person, above ten thousand people, how about it?"

Yun Du smiled lightly: "No big deal."

"You still owe me something, and I want you to join the Xuan Ji Sect!" Wei Xin said firmly.

"If I destroy my own cultivation and become a useless person, would you still want me?"

"Why on earth don't you want to agree? You are no longer a member of the Qingguan Sect, but you are living well in the Xuanji Sect, aren't you? In the future, we can practice together, drink together, and ascend together. Isn't that wonderful!"

"I promised my master that no matter what happens, I will never join the Xuanji Sect in this life, I can't..." Yun Du picked up the wine altar and drank the last sip of wine.

"The old man is so stubborn!" Wei Xin cursed.

Yun Du shook his head and laughed, then tapped his head: "Don't curse my master."

"I'm so exhausted!!" Wei Xin fell straight down. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He turned over, leaving him with only his sullen back.

"Wei Xin."

"If you have something to say, just say it!"

"You hit me with your butt."

"I'm going to kill you!" Wei Xin tried to stick his head back, but was suddenly slapped by him.

"It's really amazing."

"......"
