Chapter 56 Chapter 56 I can promise you one thing
Yun Du continued crying for a while, and found that Wei Xin had no reaction at all. He couldn't help but feel strange - the last time Wu Fang cried like this, Wei Xin was no longer angry with him, so why was he not angry when it was his turn?
He glanced at Wei Xin secretly. The other person crossed his arms and looked at him with a half-smile: "Are you done crying?"
"......"
Yun Du was unsure what his attitude was now, and didn't know whether he should continue crying. When he was struggling, Wei Xin suddenly grabbed Wu Fang, threw him out of the room, and then closed the door.
"Now that you've finished crying, let's talk about business." Wei Xin pointed forward.
Yundu knelt down skillfully.
"...I said sit down!"
"Oh." Yun Du stood up and sat down without changing his expression, brushed off the dust on his knees, and asked, "What did you say?"
"Are you pretending again? What did you just say? You said that Dumb is you. Do you have any evidence?" Wei Xin asked.
Yun Du just took out the talisman, and it turned into ashes in his hand. He was dumbfounded, and took out a few more talismans in succession, and the same thing happened to them all.
He lowered his head, looked at the ashes that fell to the ground, blinked for a long time, and then slowly looked at Wei Xin: "You already know?"
Except for the owner of the talisman, no one could burn the talisman paper silently in his hand. He had been alone with Wu Fang for so long just now, so he should have found out the truth.
"Why did you hide this from me?" Wei Xin asked, "Isn't it fun to see me anxiously looking for you everywhere?"
Yundu shook his head and sighed, "I didn't mean to hide it from you, but there was no need to tell you. If you knew that the one who saved you was from the Qingguan Sect, what would you do?"
Either kill him or find a chance to escape.
Wei Xin had never had a good impression of the Qing Guan Sect, a completely hostile camp. He would never believe that the enemy would save him. He would only suspect that they were taking advantage of his illness to kill him.
Yun Du added, "After Master discovered our whereabouts, he kept it a secret for me and ordered me not to tell anyone about saving you, otherwise the Qingguan Sect would definitely be in a lot of trouble. After that, I went into seclusion and had no chance to tell the truth."
Wei Xin asked again: "We have known each other for so long, why haven't you told me yet?"
"I told you." Yun Du said aggrievedly, "I clearly admitted that I was dumb, but you and Nan Huang didn't believe it. You even said that I was a fake and had low means..."
Wei Xin thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true... Could he blame them? It was obviously the wrong time to point it out. Who would believe that what he said at that time was actually true!
In short, no matter how wrong it is, it is never his fault.
"You can just keep talking until we believe you, right?"
"Will you really believe it? And I've never told you before. What's the point of telling you about it now that we know each other? Is it to repay a favor?" Yun Du said, "Besides, communicating with you as a mute will allow you to let down your guard and speak your heart out. If it was Yun Du from the Qingguan Sect, would you still say it?"
Wei Xin remained silent, thinking that not only would he not tell anyone, but once he knew that it was a member of the Qingguan Sect, he would never have any contact with him again.
The room was completely silent. After a long while, Wei Xin said, "What happened next? You knew I was looking for Duba, so why didn't you show up?"
"Because I can't bear to give up my mute identity, and I'm also afraid that you think I'm deliberately deceiving you." Yun Du said, and seeing that his expression had eased, he couldn't help but reach out across the table, but stopped halfway, put his hand on the table, and asked softly, "Is there anything else you want to know?"
"Yes, I have one last question." Wei Xin turned his head, his eyes burning, "We have never met before, and we are in opposing camps, why did you save me?"
Yun Du slowly lowered his eyes and said, "If you want to save her, then save her."
If he had saved someone else, even any ordinary person, Wei Xin would have believed what he said.
But the person he saved was himself, a demon full of evil.
Tianchen is so upright. He has taught his disciples to punish evil and promote good since they were young. Yun Jin is the best example. He cannot tolerate the Xuanji Sect at all.
Yun Du should have been more influenced by the people around him and hated the people of Xuan Ji Sect. Why did he ignore Tian Chen's teachings and save him without authorization, and was scolded and imprisoned for decades?
Wei Xin always felt that there was something else going on, so he reached out and held that hand: "Tell me the truth."
Yun Du looked at the two people holding hands, his expression moved: "The truth is... I fell in love with you at first sight, do you believe it?"
"......" Wei Xin didn't believe it, "With the horrible look I had at that time, how could you fall in love with me at first sight? Didn't you see how scared Wu Fang was? That was a normal reaction."
"It shows that I have a keen eye for people."
"......" Wei Xin rolled his eyes silently, then said, "That is to say, when you saved me, you already knew that I was Wei Xin."
Yun Du suddenly paused, realizing that he was just testing her. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Yeah, didn't I say long ago that I have admired you for a long time? Even if you turned into ashes, I would still recognize you."
"Don't talk nonsense." It will work!
The sound of Yun Qing and Wen Jingcheng talking could be heard outside the door. Yun Du looked outside and suddenly realized someone was approaching. He turned around and looked at Wei Xin who was walking in front of him.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Wei Xin suddenly said, "Thank you."
Yun Du was slightly startled and curled the corners of his mouth.
"Also, I didn't leave on my own. Yan Lin found me and sent me back to Xuanji Sect." Wei Xin explained.
"So that's how it is. No wonder people say she is your savior." Yun Duqian said with a smile.
"You are." Wei Xin lowered his head and kissed the corner of his mouth, "You should have told me earlier."
"What if I told you? Would you like me just because of a little favor? If that were the case, you would have liked Yan Lin a long time ago, right?"
“…It seems so.”
Wei Xin thought about it carefully and realized that he was simply moved by Yun Du and it had nothing to do with En Hui. He just felt lucky after knowing the truth.
He pinched Yundu's chin, kissed his lips, and said, "I can promise you one thing."
"What's the matter?" Yun Du asked.
"Anything is fine. Just ask."
"Can you do everything?"
"Um."
"Could you please stay away from me?"
"Um?"
"I'm kind of hard now."
"......" Wei Xin looked down, sat on his legs, and whispered, "It's already like this, and you still don't make any requests?"
"I mentioned it, but you didn't listen." Yun Du pushed him out, "Stay away from me."
"......" Wei Xin leaned over and wanted to kiss him, but he covered his mouth.
Yundu stood up and quickly left the room, leaving Wei Xin standing there in a daze - was this correct? ? ?
He finally made up his mind, but was rejected? !
"Stop right there!"
In the yard, Yun Qing and Wen Jingcheng were discussing the affairs of Qingguan Sect and Yun Jin, when suddenly a strong wind blew past them from behind. The next moment, Yun Du was seen running ahead without looking back, while Wei Xin was chasing him closely from behind, and they were almost about to fight.
After Yun Qing watched them disappear, he saw Wen Jingcheng looking calm again, and asked incredulously: "Do the two of them...always do this?"
Wen Jingcheng nodded heavily: "You can say it's frequent."
“Who wins then?”
"If nothing unexpected happens, it's Master."
Yun Qing was slightly surprised: "Brother, your cultivation is already higher than Wei Xin?"
Wen Jingcheng shook his head in an unfathomable manner - he simply won by talking nonsense and being thick-skinned.
Wei Xin looked everywhere in the bamboo forest but couldn't find anyone. He got so angry that he kicked the green bamboo.
"If you don't come out, I'll go back!"
"I'll count to three!"
"One, two... two! It's almost three!"
"three!"
There were light footsteps behind him. Wei Xin curled his lips and turned to look, but his smile froze immediately.
Xu Shun ran over without stopping and asked, "Where is Master?"
"Dead."
"......" Xu Shun paused for a moment, then continued, "Something happened in Chongchuan Gorge."
"What's wrong?"
"Everyone is dead, including the child you mentioned."
Wei Xin's expression changed: "When did it happen?"
Xu Shun shook his head: "I don't know. When I went there, they were all dead. Their deaths were very strange. I couldn't find the wounds."
"What are you talking about?"
The two turned around and saw Wufang walking towards them with a basket on his back and a pale face.
"What happened to the people in Chongchuan Gorge?"
Xu Shun didn't know his origins, so he replied, "There is not a single person alive in the whole village."
Wufang opened his mouth but didn't say a word. He turned and ran down the mountain. As soon as he ran out of the bamboo forest, he saw Yundu in front of him. As soon as he opened his mouth, tears rolled down his eyes: "Master, did you hear? Everyone in Chongchuan Gorge is dead?"
"Don't panic, let's go and see what happened." Yun Du said.
Wu Fang nodded.
Yundu looked at Wei Xin who was following closely behind him and said, "I'm afraid we have to go back to Chongchuan Gorge."
Wei Xin nodded: "I'll call Xique as well, maybe I can find a few dead people to ask questions."
Yun Qing stayed in the courtyard to continue recuperating, Wen Jingcheng was responsible for taking care of him, and the other four went to Chongchuan Gorge together.
A few days ago, there were still wisps of smoke rising from here, but now there is deathly silence. The wind blows across the grass, and although it is spring, there is a deep chill.
Wu Fang walked in front, looked around, and called out a few names, but he also knew that after so many years, the friends he knew might no longer be alive.
He walked to Old Song's house next door, but it was empty.
Wei Xin suddenly remembered that when he had asked the village chief about his whereabouts, he had seen the name Song Zhi written on his tombstone, so he asked, "Do you know Song Zhi?"
Wu Fang nodded: "He is Lao Song's son. Where is he?"
"He had passed away before we came." Wei Xin pointed to the grave not far away. After Yan Lin dug the grave, he morally refilled it and planted a few flowers on it.
The five-direction path ran in that direction.
"Where is the deceased?" Yun Du asked.
"I have arranged them all together." Xu Shun led the two of them forward and stopped at an open space. There were a total of thirteen people from Chongchuan Gorge, all lying there, and all of them had white hair.
"They don't have any external injuries, but there's a foul smell on their bodies, and I don't know where it comes from." Xu Shun said.
Wei Xin saw Changsheng and his son, walked over to the side and checked them, frowned and asked, "Why did they die? Even the weak and sick women and children were not spared?"
Hearing this, Xu Shun looked at him, his face darkening: "Aren't you very experienced in this kind of thing? Killing people, setting fires, cutting off the roots, no matter whether they are men, women, young or old, no one will be spared."
Wei Xin touched his nose in dismay, feeling a little embarrassed: "I couldn't control myself when I was possessed. I'm sorry if I accidentally hurt you and your family."
"Wu Yi? Do you know how many people you have killed?!" When Xu Shun thought of his family members who died in vain at his hands, he wanted to stab him to death with a knife, "I will avenge them sooner or later!"
"Whatever." Wei Xin shrugged. He was now more open-minded. Since he couldn't escape the disaster anyway, it was better to die early and be reborn.
"Xu Shun, don't act on impulse." Yun Du suddenly said.
Xu Shun glanced at him, barely suppressed the hatred in his heart, turned around and walked out: "I'll go around and see if there are any clues."
"Do you have any ideas?" Wei Xin asked after Yun Du approached.
"It's like someone has sucked all the energy out of them," said Yun Du.
"Not bad." Wei Xin pointed at Changsheng's mother. "Although she doesn't look well, she is obviously ten years older now. When Xique comes, we can ask them what happened."
"Um."
Yundu was still examining the cause of death of the deceased. Wei Xin walked towards Wufang's house. He didn't feel anything special when he came here a few days ago, but this time, he glimpsed the scenes of that year from Wufang's memory, and he felt a little upset.
He pushed open the bedroom door and looked at the worn-out wooden bed. He lay down on it and closed his eyes. The feeling he had when he was injured that year came back to him again.
After a while, someone came in and sat down beside the bed.
He slowly opened his eyes, looked at the person in front of him, and said, "I have made two friends in the outside world, one is a dumb man, and the other is you. In the end, I found out that you are the same person."
"If you don't like it, you can still treat us as two people. If you have any troubles, tell Dumb. If you have any mouths, kiss me."
"......"
Wei Xin suddenly sat up, not knowing what he was thinking of, and asked, "How did you feed me porridge when I was unconscious?"
"Ask Wufang for help."
"What about after that time? How did you feed him?"
"Feed with a spoon."
"?" Wei Xin asked doubtfully, "Isn't it mouth to mouth?"
Yun Du looked innocent: "Of course not. Who do you think I am? Am I the kind of person who would take advantage of someone in distress?"
Aren't you?!
