Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 251 The Untamed 13

The Wen family's actions really went far beyond this. On this day, Lan Huan received news that a water ghost was suspected to have appeared in the Biling Lake, ten miles away from Caiyi Town. Not only did it cause several flower boats to sink in the lake, but more than a dozen people were also captured by the water ghost and lost their lives.

Lan Huan decided to take people to take a look. If it was just an ordinary water ghost, it would be fine. At most, it would take some time to get rid of the water ghost. The scary thing was that someone was deliberately causing trouble. If the Yunshen Buzhichu could not respond in time, the person behind it might become even more aggressive. The Lan family would not tolerate such a provocation.

Originally, no one knew that Lan Huan was going to take people out. The matter was not kept secret, but it was not made public either. But Nie Huaisang was always well-informed for some reason. He did not dare to exorcise the evil spirit himself, so he told the news to Jiang Xinxin and Wei Ying. When they heard it, they hurried to the mountain gate.

While running, Jiang Xinxin took the time to send messages to Jiang Yanli and Jiang Erya, asking them to meet up at the mountain gate as well. It was a rare opportunity to go out and play, and she couldn't leave her two sisters behind.

Seeing this, Wei Ying immediately excluded Jin Zixuan: "Don't tell that guy Jin Zixuan, let's go by ourselves!"

Jiang Xinxin nodded and responded directly: "It's better not to have outsiders present at this time."

The two of them hurriedly ran towards the mountain gate, not noticing that the Wen siblings were following them. When they caught up with the brothers Lan Huan and Lan Zhan, they discovered that the Wen siblings had been following them.

Jiang Xinxin was immediately displeased. It was because the Wen siblings were so good at hiding. It was impossible for her and Wei Ying to have come all the way here without anyone noticing. But the fact was before them: neither of them noticed that the siblings had secretly followed them.

Lan Huan had long wanted to find an opportunity for Lan Zhan to make friends with Jiang's disciples, so when Wei Ying said a few words about wanting to join them in exorcising the evil spirit, he agreed immediately. Then the Wen siblings also agreed, and it was difficult to refuse the sisters Jiang Yanli and Jiang Erya who came later, so everyone just set off together.

You can't fly with a sword on the mountain, so you have to walk on foot. Jiang Xinxin and Wei Ying were flirting with girls all the way, which made Jiang Yanli and Jiang Erya a little embarrassed, but it was only a little embarrassing. Knowing that Wei Ying was getting too proud of himself, they took out a jar of Tian Zi Xiao that they had bought when they went up the mountain from their storage bag.

In this regard, Jiang Xinxin praised Wei Ying as a "real warrior", "You should restrain yourself, Lan Wangji's face has turned black..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Zhan came over and snatched the wine jug from Wei Ying's hand, pouring out the wine he had just taken two sips of. Wei Ying shouted and jumped up and down, but he could only watch Lan Zhan secretly feel happy after taking revenge.

Jiang Erya really couldn't understand why Wei Ying always provoked Lan Zhan, but after being stopped twice by Jiang Yanli, she probably understood Wei Ying's bad taste in wanting to see Lan Zhan's expression change. It was funny, but his brother was watching them. For some reason, although Lan Huan was gentle and elegant, Jiang Erya didn't dare to act unruly in front of him.

Wen Ning, who was walking behind, looked at the Jiang siblings in front with envy, and admired Wei Ying for constantly challenging Lan Zhan's bottom line.

Seeing this, Wen Qing felt sad and envious. She felt sad that her brother's soul was incomplete and he was prone to illness, so he had been kept away from strangers since he was a child, and now he was forced by the Wen family to do things he didn't want to do; she envied the Jiang siblings for their good relationship, good cultivation, good temper, and both parents, so they had family members to plan and guide them.

Jiang Xinxin certainly saw the envious looks in Wen Qing and Wen Ning's eyes. Jiang Cheng himself did mention the request to help the Dafanshan lineage, but it was not that simple to put it into practice.

Wen Qing and Wen Ning, the lineage of Mount Dafan, are very innocent. They can even be regarded as the first force to be persecuted by Wen Ruohan. However, they have the surname Wen and share the same ancestor as the Wen family of Mount Qishan. Later, they were also protected by Wen Ruohan. Even if they have not done anything to harm the hundreds of immortal families, the general trend will not allow them to remain immune.

Therefore, Jiang Xinxin felt that the best way was to secretly transfer out the old, weak, sick and disabled people of the Dafanshan lineage first. The young and strong ones would definitely not be able to be saved, but as long as Wen Qing and Wen Ning were there, the Dafanshan lineage would always be able to continue.

But Wen Qing is not a little girl, she has a lot of experience. In fact, her experience is somewhat similar to Wei Ying's, but in comparison, she is much worse than Wei Ying.

Jiang Xinxin already had a rough plan in mind, so she was not in a hurry. She just watched Wei Ying constantly challenge Lan Zhan's bottom line, occasionally exchanging a tacit look with Lan Huan, and also taking the time to comfort Jiang Erya.

Caiyi Town is right at the foot of the Yunshen Buzhichu Mountain, and is the actual territory of the Lan family. Logically speaking, there are no conditions for the birth of water ghosts or water monsters. Even if a water ghost or water monster is born by chance, the Lan family's disciples stationed below can quickly discover and solve it. However, the matter of Biling Lake dragged on for more than a month, which shows that it is not unusual.

Jiang Xinxin and Wei Ying both guessed that the water monster was probably caused deliberately by the Wen family, but they couldn't say anything, so they could only follow the boat to Biling Lake.

The Biling Lake is a beautiful lake. On weekdays, apart from the fishing boats and merchant ships, there are also flower boats. But ever since a water ghost appeared in the lake, several young men who were good at swimming in Caiyi Town fell into the water and died, there is not a single tree on the lake.

Wide water surfaces are prone to vapor, but the lake water that was lovely green during the day had turned dark, and the vapor covered more than just three feet of the water surface. As a group of people and several small boats slowly moved toward the center of the lake, they could not even hear each other's voices at a distance of more than three feet.

After carefully observing the bottom of the water, Jiang Xinxin winked at Jiang Yanli who was on the same boat. Jiang Yanli's heart tightened and the hand holding the sword also tightened.

Wei Ying was looking at the boat of Lan Zhan and Lan Huan in front of him, and suddenly, as a joke, he used the oar to stir up the lake water and rushed towards Lan Zhan. Of course, Lan Zhan could not just sit there and let the lake water splash on him, so he flew up with Lan Huan and landed on the other two boats respectively.

The small boat they had just been riding flipped over as they stood up, revealing a dark water monster underneath. Wei Ying used a spell to hit the water monster, which was frightened to death and disappeared with a scream.

Lan Huan glanced at his brother, then smiled and began to speak for his brother: "Master Wei, how did you know there was a water monster under that boat?"

Wei Ying thought Lan Huan was asking sincerely, and answered seriously: "The water intake is wrong."

Lan Huan and Lan Zhan understood, and Lan Huan praised: "I heard that Yunmeng is densely covered with water networks. No wonder Master Wei is so experienced."

Wei Ying said proudly: "That's right, our Yunmeng Lotus Pier is right beside the lake. Although there is nothing left of Yunmeng Lake now, it is still much wider than Taihu Lake."

"In the past, most of our Jiang Clan's disciples had to go out to help the people get rid of water ghosts, but now Yunmeng is full of supervisory offices, and the people no longer have to wait for Jiang Clan's disciples to arrive."

Comparing this with today's water haunting incident at Biling Lake, Lan Huan also felt that the Supervisory Office was indeed useful. Caiyi Town was right at the foot of the Cloud Recesses Mountain, and yet more than a dozen lives had been lost in such a close distance before someone reported to the Cloud Recesses. If there had been a Supervisory Office as well, perhaps it could have been resolved in the first place, and those people wouldn't have lost their lives in vain.
