"Wei Ying, stop the corpses!"

Jiang YanLi fell to the ground.

Standing behind her back, the corpse raised its sword again. Suddenly, a sword glare sliced off half of its body!

Lan WangJi landed amid the plaza, catching Bichen which he summoned back. Wei WuXian and Jiang Cheng could finally hurry over. They couldn’t even manage to thank Lan WangJi. Jiang Cheng first picked up Jiang YanLi, while Lan WangJi stopped Wei WuXian.

Seizing his collar, he dragged Wei WuXian in front of him, his voice hard, “Wei Ying! Stop the corpses!”

At the moment, Wei WuXian couldn’t care about anything else. Reflected in his eyes wasn’t Lan WangJi’s face, much less the veins of blood within Lan WangJi’s eyes or the redness that surrounded his eyes. He only wanted to see if Jiang YanLi was fine. With red eyes, he pushed him away and rushed to the ground. With the push, Lan WangJi staggered a bit, and gazed at him after he steadied himself. Before he could do anything else, he suddenly heard another scream of help in the distance. He suppressed whatever was in his eyes and went to provide assistance.

In the ritual or practical dimension, Sufism has many practices. They follow the five pillars of Islam but its most known form of practice is the Whirling of the Dervishes as a form of dhikr (remembrance of God). Dhikr applies to all Muslims, however, Sufis express dhikr through ceremonies that can include the whirling/dancing. The practice includes “individuals turning in circles, and the overall dance proceeds in a semicircle, symbolizing movement away from God, followed by movement back to God at the end of the arc when the dancers come near the Sufi master, or pir. Thus, the circular movement is symbolic of the cycle of creation” (Johnson). Another key ritual is the Sufi pilgrimage (on top of Hajj) to Sufi saints’ graves, which is also common in mainstream Islam.
