Record of the Missing Sect Master Chapter 7 part1

Translated by Spearpoint Translations

I had a tough time with this section. I feel like entire sentences don't make sense. Why did I pick a mystery? (I love the main couple, that's why)

I am getting later but it's still not midnight.

The Suzhou Wang family is not a Jianghu faction.

Or it used to be, it is no longer now.

Since Ye You heard that his shixiong is the School Master of the Supreme Duo Sect, he found that he could not remember the people, and he could not remember these Jianghu factions. He could only sit obediently in the horse-drawn carriage and wait for his shixiong to throw feed(inform him)(1). Fortunately, although Wenren Heng had a belly full of evil tricks, on the surface he still had to maintain effort, not to mention the target was his shidi, naturally he was willing to dispel his confusion.

“The exact period I have only heard other people speak about,” Wenren Heng said. “About 20 years ago, there emerged a Demon Head(evil person)(2) from the Jianghu. For the purpose of acquiring a rare book of martial arts, he slaughtered three aristocratic families in a row. The eldest son of Lord Wang was with another family master, his friend, that day, by coincidence, was present at the scene. Together they died under the palm of the Demon Head. The righteous [sects] were enraged, and together they eliminated the Demon Head. This was called the Jianghu's "Slaughter Demon" incident. The Wang family also participated in the action. After the completion of the revenge, they gradually withdrew from the Jianghu. These years have passed with them aloof from world affairs and are calm and stable.”

Ye You asked: “It is the former enemy who allowed Lord Wang to go down with Lantern Extinguishing Poison?”

Wenren Heng glanced at him very gently. Using a kind of “missing memory, it's okay, shixiong dearly loves you” tone to inform him that as a matter of fact it's a current important point. He stated: “Lantern Extinguishing Poison, was precisely in those years that Demon Head's famed poison. Once the Demon Head died, Lantern Extinguishing Poison disappeared without a trace.”

Ye You: “…”

Wenren Heng personally poured him a cup of tea and added: “So at this moment for Lantern Extinguishing Poison to repeat in the Jianghu, things will be noisy and people will be upset.”

Ye You bowed his head and drank tea, and didn't want to look at him.

Wenren Heng's lips twitched, but it was quickly restrained, explaining: “It is said that in those years' “Slaughter Demon” incident, many people died. No one hopes that the Demon Head has a later generation or for there to emerge another Demon Head, so recently those rushing toward the Wang family that are Jianghu people is not small. You must remember to follow me well, don't make trouble.”

Ye You was very sincere: “En.”

Wenren Heng looked at him and knew that he was in the inn that night. His shidi must have heard that he mentioned the Demonic Sect. Now, unexpectedly he does not take the opportunity to ask a sentence about the evil factions, and see whether or not he can sneakily inquire about the news, and then lead the conversation to the Demonic Sect. He feared he wanted to, in private, find an opportunity to investigate himself.

Fine, in any case the Demonic Sect's people cannot immediately come and search for their Sect Master. But sooner or later, it's just a matter of time. He at this moment can delay it one day by one day.

Ye You saw him silent, didn't want the topic to end, and continued to ask: “How is old Wang's manner?”

Wenren Heng said: “He is very good natured, I have never heard of any great hatred.”

Ye You is very meaningful: “This is a bit strange.”

Wenreng Heng nodded.

An ordinary revenge that one would like to make things big, still wouldn't be foolishly choosing Lantern Extinguishing Poison. This can cause shocks in the whole Jianghu, it is the so-called two fist loses to four hands(3). One can precisely declare revenge, and have to fear that people will use any method to find out where they are.

But if it is simply for fame, it does not make sense. In hand is grasped the Lantern Extinguishing Poison, how can one be famous, and also take great pains to secretly go to Wang family and murder an elderly person?

The other party does this, as if it was intended to lead people to the past.

However, no matter what, this matter will be handled by someone. Wenren Heng does not care. He only wants to find Divine Doctor Ji as soon as possible, and find out what exactly was the matter with the weak internal strength and amnesia of his shidi.

Contrary to Wenren Heng, Ye You's interest in this matter is particularly large.

Because this is the first time since he lost his memory, he has reacted to something. Although the weak tingling in the heart only appeared for a moment, it is enough to attract his attention.

He has a feeling that this Lantern Extinguishing Poison must have a deep involvement with him.

He turned the only memory in his head.

Lantern Extinguishing Poison, taken from “the death of a person is like a lantern extinguishing.” it simply used as a poison drug, the power is not great. But use a lantern to extinguish and strike the body, the internal organs and bones will rot, and die miserably. Even a great Daoist immortal can't save them, it's terrible.

But a poison that has disappeared for twenty years, why did he know so clearly?

Is this also something that everyone knows?

Ye You asked: “Shixiong, how are the people who are struck with Lantern Extinguishing Poison?”

Wenren Heng said: “Reportedly, they die very wretchedly."

Ye You preserved: “How wretchedly?”

Wenren Heng shook his head. It was 20 years ago. Moreover, the dust had already settled. He was not interested in checking this. He said, “I'm not clear, why?”

“It's just a little curious.” Ye You answered, thinking that not everyone knows, he really has something to do with the Lantern Extinguishing Poison, either knowing some inner story, or there is Lantern Extinguishing Poison in his hand. To wade through this matter, would he find something useful?

He suddenly looked forward to it.

1)I think this is actually modern phrase lol? 投喂 Tóu wèi means to throw feed, like you would at animals, such as giving food to goldfish or to baby chicks. But with a person the thrown thing can be other things, like money or information. Wenren Heng giving food to a little baby chick Ye You is the cutest image to me. >3<

2)When I Google, it says 魔头 mótóu literally Demon + Head means someone Buddhism points to as an enemy who destroys the religious practice. It refers to an extremely fiendish person.

3) two fist loses to four hands – a saying that means "you can't beat everyone" In order to revenge on one person using such a poison, the user should know that they will anger the entire Jianghu and can't possibly fight everyone off if they chose to use such a flashy method that will put a target on their back
