Chapter 235 (Manhua)

## Synopsis

Jin Ling has been using Fairy to track Wei Wuxian; hence his arrival at the Guanyin Temple. Unfortunately, he is not able to escape and is captured alongside Wei Wuxian.

When Jin Guangyao asks how Wei Wuxian knew about the Guanyin Temple, Wei Wuxian answers that Jin Guangyao left a land deed hidden at his secret room at Golden Carp Tower while Wei Wuxian was investigating in his Paper Metamorphosis form.

Jin Guangyao orders the cultivators to dig whatever buried faster, and Wei Wuxian wonders what on earth he is digging up. Lan Xichen approaches Wei Wuxian, explaining that his powers have been sealed, and that he was fooled by Jin Guangyao. Wei Wuxian remarks that deceit is Jin Guangyao's forte.

Jin Guangyao tells the monks and disciples to prepare an array in anticipation of Lan Wangji's arrival. Wei Wuxian insists that Lan Wangji does not even know where he is, prompting Lan Xichen to inquire why his younger brother is not with Wei Wuxian, as he had heard the Wei Wuxian was injured at the battle in the Burial Mounds.

Wei Wuxian explains that as he and Lan Wangji had separate rooms, he left without Lan Wangji knowing. Both Lan Xichen and Jin Guangyao are shocked that Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji would act separately, and Lan Xichen demands to know more. Jin Guangyao remarks that it is difficult to bear watching Lan Wangji's pining even as an outsider.

The stunned Wei Wuxian demands an explanation, and Jin Guangyao replies by asking how he could not understand what he means. With one hand pressed over his heart, Wei Wuxian insists that he does not understand.

## Synopsis

Three months later, Wang Lingjiao awakens from an apparently recurring nightmare that Wei Wuxian has returned for revenge.

Wen Chao is busy reading a letter and dismisses her concern. He tosses the letter on the floor before cursing at her to "get lost." Wang Lingjiao grabs the letter before leaving.

Although she cannot read well, she understands just enough to learn that Wen Xu has been beheaded in battle.

Wang Lingjiao begins to realize that the Sunshot Campaign is not in their favor, with the Lanling Jin, Qinghe Nie, Gusu Lan, and Yunmeng Jiang having joined forces against the Qishan Wen Clan.

Although they initially considered the war a joke, things have turned out very differently.

Preparing to leave, she ventures to her room to fetch a chest of jewelry and weapons given to her. To her shock, she finds a ghost baby inside instead of her valuables.

Alerted to her screams, Wen Chao storms in, shouting for people to come shut her up. However, he discovers Wang Lingjiao's features hideously twisted, and he stabs her in terror when she approaches him.

As she attempts to eat a stool leg, he screams for Wen Zhuliu to help him. Opening a window to jump, he sees a black silhouette standing in the courtyard below.

That same night, Jiang Cheng and Lan Wangji join forces to assassinate Wen Chao. The last time they saw each other was two months past, when they joined with Lan Xichen to retrieve their swords from the Qishan Wen Clan. Lan Wangji asks if there is any news of Wei Wuxian, and Jiang Cheng admits there is not.

Outside the Supervision Office, they note a large amount fo Yin energy within.

In an effort to make things better, Wei Wuxian suggests that what happened was normal and not to be taken seriously. Lan Wangji repeats those words back, and Wei Wuxian realizes he has made everything even worse. He apologizes, and Lan Wangji approaches him.

Wei Wuxian angrily asks what he did to Su She that caused him to set him up. Su She replies that making Wei Wuxian a scapegoat was not purposeful at all, that "arrogant men like Jin Zixun" deserve their death. Wei Wuxian thinks to himself that Jin Zixun was indeed arrogant, and Su She intolerant.

Wei Wuxian realizes that if Su She hadn't cursed Jin Zixun, then Jin Zixuan would not have died on Qiongqi Path, and thus own downfall might not have occurred. Jin Guangyao interrupts Wei Wuxian's thoughts to say that sooner or later, people would have found fault in Wei Wuxian and killed him due to his untamable personality.

Hearing this, Lan Xichen is appalled, and Jiang Cheng curses Jin Guangyao as the "son of the prostitute." Jin Guangyao responds by reminding Jiang Cheng that he speaks from a guilty conscience, as he himself turned against Wei Wuxian and was the one who led lead the First Siege of the Burial Mounds.

Wei Wuxian remarks that "son of a prostitute" must be a sore spot for Jin Guangyao, and given his reaction to this insult, "no wonder you killed Chifeng-Zun." At the mention of this, the expressions of Nie Huaisang, Lan Xichen, and Jin Guangyao change at once.

As Jin Guangyao is about to leave the Guanyin Temple, he attempts to seal Lan Xichen's powers again. However, before he can do so, Wei Wuxian unveils an array to release the Ghosts sealed in the temple. The temple begins to fill with naked ghosts.

Baoshan Sanren is a cultivator who lives on a celestial mountain secluded from the rest of the world. She is rumored to be of the same generation as Wen Mao and Lan An, which would make her several hundred years old.

She often takes abandoned children up the mountain to be her disciples. All of her disciples vow to devote their whole lives to her and to cultivation, never leaving the mountain or entering human society. If they choose to leave, they are forbidden from returning to the mountain or speaking with their teacher again.

Three of her pupils do leave: Yanling Daoren, Cangse Sanren, and Xiao Xingchen. After the massacre of Lotus Pier, Wei Wuxian suggests that his mother's teacher Baoshan Sanren would be able to restore Jiang Cheng's Golden Core. However, because he has no idea where to find her, he convinces Wen Qing to transfer his own core into Jiang Cheng instead.

Of the three pupils who left, only Xiao Xingchen ever returns. Once his close friend Song Lan is blinded, Xiao Xingchen takes Song Lan back to Baoshan Sanren, breaking his vow. He begs Baoshan Sanren to restore Song Lan's sight, even requesting that his teacher transfer his own eyes into Song Lan, thereby blinding himself.

It is only then that A-Qing joins. After destroying her soul, Xue Yang does lose his arm lunging for Lan Wangji, but the lunge is to attack rather than to retrieve the Spirit-Trapping Bag.

Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji are introduced to Luo Qingyang's husband, a former business merchant who left his work to accompany her on night-hunts. Luo Qingyang explains that the people of Guangling asked for her help in regard to disturbed graves, and Wei Wuxian reveals that they were fooled by the villagers.

Apparently, the villagers robbed the graves themselves and suffered from backlash. Wei Wuxian showed his face to the cultivators and villagers who attempted an exorcism, to prevent the the villagers from making any more trouble.

Luo Qingyang and her husband wonder what really scared their daughter. Known only to Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji, and Little Mianmian, it was Wei Wuxian's and Lan Wangji's lovemaking that frightened Little Mianmian.

Wei Wuxian gives Little Mianmian money, but she only thanks Lan Wangji, evidently disliking Wei Wuxian.

After the family departs, Wei Wuxian teases Lan Wangji, having recognized that his husband's money pouch is precisely the perfume satchel Mianmian gave him in the cave of the Xuanwu of Slaughter, and that Lan Wangji must have stolen it. Lan Wangji dives for the satchel before kissing Wei Wuxian to silence him.

## Synopsis

Jiang Cheng considers fighting Lan Wangji, but he ultimately decides against a fight. He settles for chastising Jin Ling, telling him to find the soul-stealing entity or never to call him 'uncle' again.

After Jianh Cheng and Jin Ling depart, Lan Wangji instructs Lan Sizhui and Lan Jingyi to do only what they can, without forcing anything. Before leaving, he thanks Wei Wuxian for his assistance in Mo Village.

Distressed, Wei Wuxian heads down the mountain with Little Apple. He slaps himself for his words to Jin Ling and as he stops to wash his face, listens to gossip about his nephew. Cultivators lament that Jin Ling has been spoiled due to his parents' untimely demise.

Chang Ci'an

* Animation
* Manhua

**Chang Ci'an** (常慈安, *Cháng Cí'ān*) was the former leader of the Yueyang Chang Clan and the father of Chang Ping.

## Appearance

He is smaller than the brawny man with whom he feuds.

## Personality

Chang Ci'an has a cowardly and cruel personality. He takes advantage of a naive and impoverished child to send a humiliating letter to a man he is feuding with, allowing the child to pay the price. Later, he grinds the child's hand into the dirt with his ox cart, causing him to lose his pinky.

## History

### Xue Yang

Chang Ci'an promises the seven-year-old Xue Yang a plate of pastries as payment for delivering a note. Xue Yang happily agreed, only to be beaten by the recipient, as the note was a humiliating letter due to an undisclosed conflict between the man and Chang Ci'an. Eventually, the man drags Xue Yang by his hair to the liquor shop where Xue Yang had met Chang Ci'an. Chang Ci'an is long gone, and the leftover pastries on the table have been taken away by the waiters, leaving Xue Yang with nothing for his suffering.

After he is thrown out of the liquor shop by a waiter, a frustrated Xue Yang again encounters Chang Ci'an. Xue Yang clings to his leg and asks him for another plate of pastries, but Chang Ci'an has meanwhile suffered a beating from the man he had taunted. Chang Ci'an kicked Xue Yang away and climbed on his ox cart to drive away.

Xue Yang chases the cart until he leaps in front of it, waving his arms for Chang Ci'an to stop. Irritated, Chang Ci'an snatches the driver's whip, lashes Xue Yang's head, throws him onto the ground. The wheels of the cart grinds over Xue Yang's hand, crushing his bones, and turning his pinky into battered flesh on the spot.

### Massacre of the Yueyang Chang Clan

## Synopsis

Wei Wuxian speaks with several townspeople to learn that the strange girl, A-Yan, has been driven mad seeming to lose her soul. In fact, ever since a large landslide, several townspeople continue to lose their souls.

The first was a sluggard who suddenly inherited wealth, only to lose his soul on his wedding night. A-Yan was the second, after receiving an engagement. Though she regained her soul, the third victim was her father, Blacksmith Zheng. Ever since regaining her soul, A-Yan has danced and smiled strangely, seeming to have lost her sanity.

The townsman explains that this all began the night of a landslide, when lightning struck a graveyard and overturned several coffins. In total, seven people thus far have lost their souls.

As Wei Wuxian rides Little Apple up the mountain, he encounters several cultivators who complain that they can do nothing against the actions of a powerful cultivator, Jiang Cheng.

Chapter 150 (Manhua)

## Synopsis

Wei Wuxian orders the Wens not to move lest he spill Wen Chao's blood. However, he is suddenly interrupted when the islet below him begins to shake.

To his astonishment, Wei Wuxian realizes that he is standing on the back of a very large shell. An enormous tortoise raises its head.

Although Wei Wuxian hopes that its apparently poor eyesight will prevent it from harming them, the panicked Wen Chao begins to scream for help. Wei Wuxian shoves him towards Wen Zhuliu and leaps off the back of the tortoise.

Suddenly, he overhears Wang Lingjiao attempting to burn Mianmian's face. Wei Wuxian leaps between them to push her back, but takes the Branding Iron to his chest instead.

Incensed, Jiang Cheng lunges for Wang Lingjiao.

Additionally, Wen Zhuliu attempts to use his Core-Melting Hand to rescue Wen Chao from Wei Wuxian once the tortoise appears. In the manhua, Wei Wuxian willingly shoves Wen Chao towards Wen Zhuliu.

The manhua cuts the three servants Wang Lingjiao orders to hold Mianmian in place and brand her. In the novel, Wei Wuian strikes them with arrows before Wang Lingjiao attempts to burn Mianmian herself.

An Encounter

"**An Encounter**" is the twenty-sixth episode of *Mo Dao Zu Shi Q*.

## Synopsis

A Fierce Corpse is alarmed to discover Jiang Cheng and Jin Ling lying in wait for him. Wen Ning and Lan Sizhui appear behind him, trapping the corpse. Although Jiang Cheng commands Jin Ling to aim for the corpse's legs and Wen Ning tells Lan Sizhui to aim for his head, their respective sword glares wind up striking each other rather than the corpse.

When the fearful corpse flees, Jin Ling accuses Lan Sizhui and Wen Ning of ruining his plans. He and Lan Sizhui squabble over their differing methods, when suddenly the Heavenly Maiden attacks.

Jiang Cheng attempts to use Zidian, but Wen Ning's chains strike it first... and leave a bump on Jiang Cheng's head. Wen Ning apologizes to Jiang Cheng, but insists that his plans to strike its legs instead of its head are incorrect. Wen Ning argues that he knows best, as he is a Fierce Corpse himself, but Jiang Cheng cites his experience killing creatures.

The two argue as they attack the Heavenly Maiden. In the process, Lan Sizhui and Jin Ling are accidentally struck into tree branches by their predecessor's weapons.

Wei Wuxian arrives with Lan Wangji and laughs at them. He declares that both methods are wrong, and plays a duet with Lan Wangji to send the Heavenly Maiden into a pitiful state.

## Synopsis

In the aftermath of the forehead ribbon incident, Lan Wangji was unusually distressed, perplexing Wei Wuxian. While Wei Wuxian puzzled over this, Jiang Cheng scolded him that Lan Wangji clearly hated him.

The juniors watch Wei Wuxian pace, noting his excitement and happy expression.

Suddenly, Wei Wuxian stops, hearing the sound of a man's footsteps. He turns around to see a tall, dignified figure... that happens to be missing a head.

Observing the headless Fierce Corpse, he notes the torn fragments of Qiankun bags by its feet. The body parts of the Demonic Left Arm have pieced themselves together.

The corpse feels its missing head and slams a fist into a tree. Wei Wuxian orders the juniors to put out the fire and scatter, as the corpse can seek out their yang energy.

Wei Wuxian throws a pebble to draw the corpse back towards himself. He warns the juniors not to run fast, as the corpse can notice the breeze.

## Divergence from the Novel

The manhua omits that Lan Wangji was so distressed after the forehead ribbon incident that he left the competition. While Wei Wuxian puzzled over this, Jiang Cheng scolded him that Lan Wangji clearly hated him.

In the novel, Wei Wuxian identified the Fierce Corpse as their assembled body parts by recognizing the burial robes found on the torso in the Yueyang Chang Clan's cemetery. In the manhua, the corpse is naked.

The manhua cuts Wei Wuxian's tutoring of the boys in what type of creature it is, and why he can talk loudly without the headless corpse hearing him.

Accompanying You to Sleep: Lan Wangji

* Cover (CN)
* Cover (JP)

"**Accompanying You to Sleep: Lan Wangji**" is an extra, ASMR-style episode from Season 1 of the audio drama.

## Synopsis

Presumably sometime after their marriage, Lan Wangji discovers an intoxicated Wei Wuxian lying on their floor. He helps Wei Wuxian remove his clothes and lies him across their bed.

He offers to talk more quietly for Wei Wuxian, and pours him tea to sober up, before cleaning his face. Lan Wangji promises to help him next time, before insisting on bathing Wei Wuxian. He helps him wash, places medicine on his injuries, and requests that he not endanger himself again.

As it is nine in the evening, Lan Wangji tells Wei Wuxian to rest, but he decides to massage him first. Afterwards, he attempts to grade papers, but as Wei Wuxian finds the candle too bright, decides to do it tomorrow. He kisses Wei Wuxian.

Wei Wuxian requests a story, but Lan Wangji says that he does not know how to tell stories. He suggests that he can read Buddhist Scriptures instead, to which Wei Wuxian evidently replies that his head would hurt more in that case.

Lan Wangji asks if Wei Wuxian is sure he wants to be like this, and then says that he can stay like this for the rest of the night. The episode ends with the sound of breathing as they fall asleep.

## Synopsis

Lan Wangji strikes himself unconscious, and Wei Wuxian must use his own teeth to remove the forehead ribbon from his wrists. He chides himself for his disrespect of Lan Wangji.

The next morning, everyone prepares to depart the inn. Wei Wuxian seizes the chance to speak with Jin Ling while Lan Wangji keeps Fairy away.

Wei Wuxian advises Jin Ling to listen to Jiang Cheng and avoid night-hunting alone, as he is only a junior. Jin Ling retorts that his uncles became famous young, too, and that even Wei Wuxian was around his age when he killed the Xuanwu of Slaughter.

Confused, Wei Wuxian replies that Lan Wangji killed it, and Jin Ling jeers at their relationship. He adds that he knows the meaning of the Gusu Lan Clan's forehead ribbon, to Wei Wuxian's confusion.

Before leaving, Jin Ling asks if Wei Wuxian is "Wei Ying," to which Wei Wuxian replies by asking if Jin Ling thinks they are similar. In response, Jin Ling calls Fairy and leaves for Lanling, as he is too afraid of Jiang Cheng to return to Lotus Pier just yet.
