Chapter 259 (Manhua)

## Synopsis

Wei Wuxian plays Wangxian on Chenqing while riding on Little Apple. Lan Wangji compliments his playing, and Wei Wuxian admits that although he does have poor memory, the poor memory is credited to his mother.

Wei Wuxian tells Lan Wangji his mother's word's of wisdom to "remember how others treat you. Not how you treat others." Much to Lan Wangji's embarrassment, Wei Wuxian has picked 80 names for the song Lan Wangji played for him.

Lan Wangji states the song already has a name: Wangxian. Wei Wuxian laughs, expressing that it is a good name and the music should be included in the Gusu Lan Clan's repertoire. As the duo continue home to the Cloud Recesses, Lan Wangji watches Wei Wuxian sitting with legs crossed on Little Apple. The manhua ends with the closing phrase: "Since then, I can't take my eyes away again."

## Synopsis

The next morning, Nie Huaisang delightedly informs Wei Wuxian that Lan Qiren has left to attend the Discussion Conference at the Qinghe Nie Clan for the next few days, so they will not have classes. Jiang Cheng still warns that Wei Wuxian will be punished upon Lan Qiren's return.

As they pass the reception room, Wei Wuxian notices two "Lan Zhans." Lan Xichen smiles at them, and Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng introduce themselves. Lan Xichen then inquires after Nie Huaisang's studies, as he recently spoke with Nie Mingjue, causing Nie Huaisang to wilt immediately.

Lan Xichen explains that he is investigating the appearance of Water Ghosts in Caiyi Town and returned to the Cloud Recesses to recruit Lan Wangji to help. As Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng are adept at catching Water Ghosts from their time in Yunmeng, they volunteer to assist. Although Lan Wangji refuses, Lan Xichen agrees and later explains that he sensed his brother wanted Wei Wuxian to accompany them. Lan Wangji is indignant at the suggestion.

## Synopsis

Jin Guangyao explains that while he deliberately told Jin Zixuan about the ambush at Qiongqi Path, he only meant for him to face some troubles, as he would have to choose between his cousin Jin Zixun and his wife's shixiong, Wei Wuxian.

As Jin Ling rushes at his uncle, demanding to know why, Nie Huaisang intercepts him and holds him back. Jin Guangyao replies by asking why his Jin Guangshan treated his sons, who were born the same day, so differently – a banquet for Jin Zixuan, a kick down the stairs for Jin Guangyao. Wei Wuxian scoffs, and Jin Guangyao reflects that he has killed them all.

Lan Xichen remarks on Jin Guangshan's death, and Jin Guangyao finally begins to explain. He used to do whatever his father wanted, no matter how stupid it was, even though he could never compare to Jin Zixuan, even though Jin Guangshan still wanted to replace him. In the end, however, Jin Guangyao overheard his father explain to a prostitute that he refused to bring Meng Shi back to Lanling simply because a literate woman was too much trouble. As for her son, Jin Guangshan did not even care to mention him.

Jin Guangyao says that even after all he's done, he still is the type of person to seek pity – just as he wraps a sharp guqin string around Jin Ling's throat.

Lan Wangji realizes that Jin Guangyao hid the string inside his own abdomen. Jiang Cheng erupts, offering himself as a hostage instead. Jin Guangyao declines, citing Jiang Cheng's injury. Wei Wuxian brings up the captivity of Su She, only for Su She to tell Jin Guangyao to leave without him.

Jin Guangyao thanks him, and Lan Xichen expresses disappointment that he has lied again. Jin Guangyao says it is the last time, but Lan Xichen replies that he no longer knows when to believe him. Just then, bangs sound on the door to the Guanyin Temple, which promptly flies open.

In the Yunmeng Jiang Clan's ancestral hall, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji light incense to the spirits of Jiang Fengmian and Yu Ziyuan. They agree to bow twice together, and Wei Wuxian silently prays for the chance to have a third bow.

Jiang Cheng interrupts, irate that Wei Wuxian would bring Lan Wangji into their ancestral hall. He reminds Wei Wuxian that his defense of Lan Wangji led to the massacre of Lotus Pier.

Wei Wuxian points out that he began the fight before his parents' spirits, and Jiang Cheng retorts that he does not care where they go, under a tree or wherever, just that they stay away from the ancestral hall.

Realizing that Jiang Cheng saw his embrace with Lan Wangji, Wei Wuxian demands an apology on Lan Wangji's behalf. He insists that Lan Wangji is only his friend. Jiang Cheng insists he has never seen 'friends' like that before, and Wei Wuxian hurls Talismans towards him.

## Synopsis

Lan Wangji promptly ties his forehead ribbon around Wei Wuxian's wrists. He refuses to untie him as he drags Wei Wuxian inside the inn.

Inside, the juniors are playing a drinking game, believing Lan Wangji to be upstairs. They are astonished to see him enter the front door.

Lan Jingyi hurriedly hides the liquor as Lan Wangji pulls Wei Wuxian over to the juniors. Lan Wangji proudly displays Wei Wuxian's wrists bound with his forehead ribbon.

Lan Jingyi's chicken wing promptly drops from his mouth to the bowl, splattering sauce across his clothes. Jin Ling inquires what Lan Wangji is doing, and Wei Wuxian claims that he is demonstrating a special use of the Gusu Lan Clan forehead ribbon.

Lan Jingyi objects, but Lan Sizhui shoves the chicken wing back into his mouth. Lan Wangji then drags Wei Wuxian back to their room upstairs.

The Innkeeper explains that the guest below Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian has complained of water dripping down into their room. Glancing behind Wei Wuxian, she is shocked by the chaotic state of their room. Wei Wuxian explains that he broke the tub in a drunken state, and promises to pay for it. Lan Wangji hands her silver, and the innkeeper offers to put them in another room for the night.

Still distressed, Wei Wuxian asks for separate rooms. Before they depart the first room, Wei Wuxian apologizes to the pensive Lan Wangji, who simply stares at his forehead ribbon. Lan Wangji states that Wei Wuxian does not have to say those words to him before donning his forehead ribbon. He tells Wei Wuxian that they will speak and plan their next movements in the morning.

Unable to sleep, Wei Wuxian leaps out his window. He approaches the wall inscribed with "Lan Wangji was here" and two kissing figures, only to encounter Wen Ning.

Wen Ning explains that he has decided to erase Lan Wangji's name from the graffiti lest it cause a problem for him. He asks Wei Wuxian if something is wrong, and Wei Wuxian says that he will stop drinking after tonight, to Wen Ning's surprise. Wei Wuxian then leaps to his feet, declaring that they should go seek trouble.

## Synopsis

Entering the supervision office, Jiang Cheng and Lan Wangji are stunned to see no living Wens. In fact, all seem to have killed themselves in different ways.

Jiang Cheng is gratified, however, to see Wang Lingjiao dead. He shoves the stool leg farther down her throat.

They examine the Talismans on the doors and find a few odd strokes; Lan Wangji explains that the talisman is reversed. Rather than repel evil, these talismans attracts evil.

As they trail Wen Chao and Wen Zhuliu south to Qishan, they continue to find many Wens dead in the same varied and gruesome ways. After four days, they trace Wen Zhuliu to a courier station in a remote mountainous city.

Cautious of his Core-Melting Hand, they wait on the rooftop to observe.

Wen Chao's voice is high-pitched, quite different from before. He is in a terrible state, with his head bald, scarred, and burned. All of his fingers are missing. Noting how the circumstances have turned, Jiang Cheng cannot help but smile.

Wen Zhuliu attempts to provide ointment for Wen Chao's injuries, but Wen Chao is hysterical. He begins to scream that he hears a flute.

## Synopsis

Wei Wuxian explains that the letter writer likely wanted Jin Guangyao to not just die, but become the enemy of the entire cultivation world.

Nie Huaisang reflects that this person must have planned for a long time, and Wei Wuxian begins to focus on him. He inquires how Nie Mingjue's body escaped Nie Huaisang's keeping, and if Nie Huaisang really did not know Mo Xuanyu. Nie Huaisang denies it all, but Wei Wuxian is unconvinced, musing to himself that Nie Huaisang likely pretended not to know Mo Xuanyu to test if he had really performed the sacrifice or not. Then Nie Huaisang released Nie Mingjue's arm in Mo Village to begin their journey to find the full body.

Nie Huaisang probably knew his brother had been cut apart, but perhaps he could only find one arm. Unable to contain it, he thought of someone who could: the Yiling Patriarch, and thus enacted his plan.

Lan Wangji notices an empty chest before the empty coffin, and speculates that Jin Guangyao hid Nie Mingjue's head inside it after its discovery at Golden Carp Tower. Wei Wuxian speculates that the coffin held Meng Shi, Jin Guangyao's mother, and that he intended to travel to Dongying with her coffin.

Wei Wuxian asks Nie Huaisang one last question: what he thinks someone would do with Meng Shi's body. Nie Huaisang claims that if the letter writer hated Jin Guangyao so much, they would likely destroy it cruelly and mercilessly. When Wei Wuxian asks if that would involve cutting it apart like Jin Guangyao had done to Chifeng-Zun, Nie Huaisang reacts with horror.

Realizing that he has no proof, Wei Wuxian stops his questions.

Anxin

**Anxin** (安心, *Ānxīn*) was a prostitute who worked in the same brothel where Meng Shi raised her son Jin Guangyao.

## Appearance

Anxin is described as having a coquettish voice and wearing an ample amount of rouge and powder.

## Personality

Anxin seemed to enjoy gossip, as she readily relayed the details of Meng Shi's suffering to a customer. She also seemed to enjoy taunting Jin Guangyao over his attempts to learn cultivation while he was still a child, even throwing fruit at him when he was slow.

## History

At the brothel, Anxin mocked Meng Shi when she was dragged naked into the street by a dissatisfied customer. She complained that the woman was prideful simply because she could read, and criticized reading as the root of all Meng Shi's problems.

This prompted fellow prostitute Sisi to engage her in a fight to defend Meng Shi, with both women clawing at each other until other prostitutes separated them.

Anxin later died in a fire requested by Jin Guangyao and set by Xue Yang.

Anxin is one of the Ghosts released by Wei Wuxian in the Guanyin Temple. He employs Empathy to observe her behavior towards Jin Guangyao, Meng Shi, and Sisi.

## Manhua Divergence

The manhua never identifies Anxin's ghost and omits much of her role in her flashback.

## Synopsis

As Wei Wuxian rests by a well during the day, he overhears a conversation concerning a night-hunt on Dafan Mountain. The rogue cultivators are planning to use a particular compass to aid them in their hunt.

His eavesdropping is interrupted by the Round-Faced Girl, who offers him an apple. Noting his donkey's eagerness for apples, he then ties the apple to the end of a rod and dangles it before the donkey to make haste towards Dafan Mountain.

In the small Fojiao Town near the mountain base, Wei Wuxian overhears more cultivators arguing over the use of the Compass of Ill Winds, one of his own inventions. The compass shows no sign of the soul-stealing creature they believe they are there to hunt.

As Wei Wuxian listens, he notices a girl passing by with a blank look on her face.

## Synopsis

The cultivators are relieved to hear that their loss of spiritual power is temporary, though they are alarmed to learn will take at least two hours to recover. Wei Wuxian begins to speculate on the cause, and determines that since the juniors have retained their powers despite their presence on the mountain, the Burial Mounds itself cannot be the cause.

Su She denounces anyone's speculation with Wei Wuxian, and is promptly silenced by Lan Wangji. Lan Qiren declines to remove the spell.

Wei Wuxian muses that Su She is a bit too talkative today. Lan Jingyi and Lan Sizhui explain that the Moling Su Clan was originally part of the Gusu Lan Clan, and the techniques of Moling Su are very similar to Gusu Lan's techniques. As a result, the two clans have a poor relationship.

Su She spits out blood, breaking the Silence Spell by force to criticize the Lan disciples' demeanor. Moling Su disciples defend their leader, and the furious Lan Jingyi returns the criticism, pointing out that the Su disciples could not even play their exorcism songs correctly.

Wei Wuxian recalls Eradication Tone and suddenly realizes that there was one thing all the cultivators without powers did: kill corpses.

Chapter 224 (Manhua)

## Synopsis

When Jiang Cheng dismisses the notion as "bullshit," Wen Ning acknowledges that his Golden Core was supposedly restored by Baoshan Sanren.

Wen Ning proceeds to describe in detail how Jiang Cheng approached "Baoshan Sanren" on the mountain, revealing that Jiang Cheng's golden core was never restored. Instead, Wei Wuxian had his own golden core transplanted into Jiang Cheng by Wen Qing. Wen Ning was present assisting his sister.

Lan Wangji watches with shock as Wen Ning explains that this is why Wei Wuxian stopped using Suibian. Jiang Cheng drops the sword, only for Wen Ning to shove it back into his hands and dare him to ask anyone else to draw the sword. Jiang Cheng races away, insisting it is a lie.

As Wen Ning sails them away from Lotus Pier, Lan Wangji cradles the unconscious Wei Wuxian in his arms. He asks Wen Ning if the transplant was painful, and Wen Ning admits that no anesthetic could be used without compromising the golden core. Wei Wuxian had to be awake the entire time as his golden core was cut out and transplanted into his shidi.

As he holds Wei Wuxian close, Lan Wangji reflects that while he knew Wei Wuxian was spiritually impaired, he had not imagined the truth was like this.

## Synopsis

To Jiang Cheng's confusion, Yu Ziyuan gives him Zidian, before embracing and kissing him in a loving way.
She binds the struggling boys to the boat with Zidian, telling them that it will only release in a safe location. Before departing, she asks Wei Wuxian to promise her that he will protect Jiang Cheng with his life.

The boys attempt to break free as the boat drifts away, but Zidian holds them fast. Suddenly, however, they see Jiang Fengmian returning on his own boat.

Confused, Jiang Fengmian explains that he may not be able to free Zidian, as Yu Ziyuan must appoint people as its master. However, to his shock, Zidian obeys him.

Once Jiang Fengmian learns that the Core-Melting Hand is there, he immediately binds both Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng again.

Jiang Fengmian touches Jiang Cheng's head, telling him, "A-Cheng, be well," before setting them adrift while he returns to Lotus Pier.

Eventually, the boys are freed, and paddle back to Lotus Pier late at night.

The manhua also omits Wei Wuxian's realizations that if Jiang Fengmian is a master of Zidian, Yu Ziyuan must have once placed great trust in him, and that despite Yu Ziyuan's declaration that Wei Wuxian would not recover from his whipping for a month, the pain from his wounds is already fading.

## Synopsis

Less than two months later, the Qinghe Nie Clan hosts a martial arts tournament. Privately, Jin Guangyao confesses his fear that Nie Mingjue will not forgive him to Lan Xichen. He fears that their oath was a warning to him. As he frets, Lan Xichen blames the saber spirit, noting that Nie Mingjue and Nie Huaisang have fought again and still have not reconciled.

In tears, Jin Guangyao laments that Nie Mingjue insulted his mother during the stairs incident, looking down on both her and himself because she could not choose her fate as a prostitute. He asks how Nie Mingjue is any different from those who mock him.

Infuriated by Jin Guangyao's words, Nie Mingjue bursts in with Baxia unsheathed. As he fights Lan Xichen, he rushes out to hallucinate Jin Guangyao everywhere, slaughtering those in his way. Suddenly, Nie Huaisang rushes towards him, and Nie Mingjue recognizes his brother just before he dies of qi deviation.

Wei Wuxian hears Lan Wangji's voice call "Wei Ying," and finally emerges from Empathy.

When Jin Guangyao arrives to ask what is wrong, Qin Su hands him the letter.

## Synopsis

Jin Guangyao pleads with Lan Xichen to spare his life , saying that the Yin Tiger Tally is destroyed and that he renounces the position of Chief Cultivator. He plans to flee to Dongying and never return.

Wei Wuxian asks to have a look at the Tiger Tally, but Jin Guangyao says that he did not carry it with him. When he addresses Lan Xichen as "Er-ge," Lan Xichen reminds him that he should not call him "Er-ge" again after his scheme at the Burial Mounds. Still, although Lan Wangji does not humor his pleas any further, Lan Xichen insists on hearing Jin Guangyao out.

Jin Guangyao explains that he received a letter listing all his misdeeds, a letter that told him to confess and kill himself, or wait for his secrets to be revealed. He felt that there was no way out, and concocted the Burial Mounds plan.

Lan Xichen tells his former sworn brother that he will ask him questions, and demands a truthful response. Nevertheless, when Lan Xichen first broaches the subject of Jin Guangshan, Jin Guangyao requests to answer this last.

Lan Xichen then asks him if he knew his true relation to Qin Su before marrying her. Jin Guangyao confesses that he did. However, he explains that Madam Qin came to him in secret to confide about her rape, and by that point he was too afraid of his father's and Qin Cangye's response to call off the engagement. When Lan Xichen insists that he could have done more, Jin Guangyao admits the truth: that by the time he learned their relation, Qin Su was already pregnant with Jin Rusong.

Lan Xichen next inquires if he had anything to do with the death of Jin Zixuan. Lan Wangji demands to know if his brother believes Jin Guangyao, and Lan Xichen states that he does not believe Jin Zixuan wound up on Qiongqi Path by accident, yet he wishes to hear Jin Guangyao's response.

Jin Guangyao admits he did not run into Jin Zixuan by accident that day.

## Synopsis

Wei Wuxian implies that the Gusu Lan Clan would recognize if Su She played music incorrectly on their way up the Burial Mounds. Su She draws Nanping, but Wei Wuxian simply explains that Su She could haver disguised a melody to cause the loss of spiritual powers, which the others would simply assume to be a mistake. Jin Guangyao may have pretended to be injured to explain his absence as Su She led the cultivators to a trap.

When Su She dismisses the accusations as slander, Wei Wuxian reveals two pages, claiming they are from the Collection of Spirit Turmoil. As Wei Wuxian hands the pages to Lan Qiren to confirm that it is the music the Moling Su Clan played, Lan Wangji sends Bichen towards Su She.

Su She erects a barrier with his sword, exposing that he still has his spiritual powers.

With his actions revealed, Su She destroys the array and escapes by using a Transportation Talisman. Lan Wangji attempts to fix the array with his blood, but it is all in vain.

As the fierce corpses charge in, Wei Wuxian treats Lan Wangji's wound while the cultivators prepare to make one final stand.

## Synopsis

Jin Guangshan intervenes in the argument between Wei Wuxian and Jin Zixun, noting that Wei Wuxian's arrival at their private banquet without an invitation is inappropriate. Wei Wuxian apologizes, but explains that Wen Ning is important and once saved his life.

Jin Guangshan brings up the Yin Tiger Tally, suggesting that Wei Wuxian alone cannot control it. Wei Wuxian bursts into laughter before accusing Jin Guangshan of aspiring to replace the Qishan Wen Clan. Although the crowd protests that it is different, Wei Wuxian pulls of Chenqing with a threat to kill them. Lan Wangji tells him to put down his flute, but Wei Wuxian gives Jin Zixun to the count of three to tell him Wen Ning's location.

Jin Zixun gives in, revealing they are held at Qiongqi Path. Wei Wuxian leaves, and Jin Guangshan kicks over the chair meant for Wei Wuxian before storming away. Jin Zixun storms away as well, and Jin Guangyao frets over Wei Wuxian's conduct. Lan Wangji asks if he was wrong, and Jin Guangyao replies that he was correct, but that is precisely why he should not have said it. Lan Xichen reflects that Wei Wuxian's heart has changed, to Lan Wangji's worry.

## Synopsis

Many swords fly towards Wei Wuxian, but Lan Wangji defends him with Bichen. Wei Wuxian leaps out the window, and when Lan Wangji follows, he tells him to stay to preserve his reputation. In response, Lan Wangji grabs his wrist.

Jin Ling blocks the two, and in great distress, demands to know if he really is Wei Ying. He slashes with his sword, and manages to stab Wei Wuxian in the stomach.

Wei Wuxian loses consciousness as Lan Wangji helps him escape. To himself, Wei Wuxian ponders that

> When everyone feared him and flattered him, Lan Wangji scolded him right in his face; when everyone spurned him and loathed him, Lan Wangji stood by his side.
>
>

Suddenly, he speaks, recalling just when he carried Lan Wangji before.

The year after the Qishan Wen Clan's Discussion COnference, the clan demanded that twenty tributes from each clan attend their indoctrination session.

When Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng arrive in Qishan, Wei Wuxian attempts to catch Lan Wangji's attention.

Suddenly, a person shouts from a platform. The boy is Wen Chao, Wen Ruohan's youngest son. Wen Chao demands that everyone hand over their swords with which they practice cultivation.

## Synopsis

Inside the Library Pavilion's Room of Forbidden Books, Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji, and Lan Xichen search for two hours to find the strange song woven into Cleansing.

Suddenly, Lan Wangji says that he has found something. Looking at the book, Wei Wuxian realizes that two pages of music are not connected to each other: a page has been carefully removed from the book, Collection of Spirit Turmoil.

Lan Xichen explains that Collection of Spirit Turmoil is a book of malevolent songs from Dongying. When played with spiritual energy, the melodies can harm and even kill people.

Wei Wuxian reasons that Jin Guangyao blended Purification Tone with Collection of Spirit Turmoil, administering it as a slow poison to provoke Nie Mingjue's qi deviation.

Lan Xichen protests that he never told his sworn brother of the Room of Forbidden Books, but Wei Wuxian points out that Jin Guangyao was an excellent spy in Nightless City. The Cloud Recesses would not pose an obstacle for him.

In distress, Lan Xichen says that he will try the music out on himself, to Lan Wangji's alarm.

The three depart the Library Pavilion, and Lan Wangji decides to visit the recovering Lan Qiren while Lan Xichen returns Wei Wuxian to his cottage.

To Wei Wuxian's puzzlement, Lan Xichen explains that the cottage was once his mother's residence. Wei Wuxian wonders if his parents did not get along.

As the exhausted cultivators despair at the approaching fierce corpses, Wei Wuxian has an idea. He asks Lan Wangji to join him, and Lan Wangji agrees.

The cultivators can then escape on their own. The horrified juniors protest, and as the corpses break in, Lan Sizhui and Lan Jingyi return to help. Wen Ning attempts to remove them, but Lan Sizhui insists on staying. Jiang Cheng even runs back inside, followed by Jin Ling.

As Wei Wuxian runs out of Talismans, he notices a corpse ready to pounce behind him. As the corpse lunges, a blood-covered fierce corpse emerges from the Blood Pool and rips the attacking corpse apart.

## Synopsis

Lan Xichen requests an explanation from his brother, and Lan Wangji insists that Jin Guangyao truly kept Nie Mingjue's head, and that Jin Guangyao is not to be trusted. Lan Xichen, however, replies that while Lan Wangji trusts Wei Wuxian, he trusts Jin Guangyao.

However, he reassures Wei Wuxian that he will not allow any harm to come to him until they investigate further.

Wei Wuxian speculates that Nie Mingjue's qi deviation occurred because of the Purification Tone: in particular, an obscure, difficult song called Cleansing.

Wei Wuxian then plays the song, and both Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji note that he has played a portion wrong. Wei Wuxian, however, insists that he played it exactly as Jin Guangyao did.

The two melodies blend together seamlessly. Alarmed, Lan Xichen leads his brother and Wei Wuxian to the Library Pavilion's Room of Forbidden Books.

On another boat, a concerned Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji overhear the outburst. Lan Sizhui urges them to come to their boat. When Wei Wuxian asks Wen Ning why he has not followed secretly, Jin Ling continues to yell. Wei Wuxian tells him to put down the sword. Jin Ling refuses, then breaks down into sobs.

Clutching the sword, Jin Ling reveals that the sword is his father's sword, Suihua – the only item left to him by his parents.

Jiang Cheng calls his name, and Jin Ling flies over to his jiujiu's boat. Jiang Cheng demands to know who bullied him, and when Jin Ling does not answer, Jiang Cheng glares at his former shixiong. Lan Wangji quickly moves in front of Wei Wuxian.
