So, I heard you’ve been wondering what are the 3000 rules of Gusu Lan Sect?
See that wall? It’s the Lan Sect’s Wall of Discipline that appeared for 2 seconds in MDZS Episode 2. Some very diligent soul on Weibo actuallywent to read the texts carved on that Wall. Probably with a magnifying glass. No joke. Like, seriously,no joke.
Here goes all the rules that she managed to read out - translated hopefully not horrendously by Tumblr user my-otp-list.

Do not fight without permission
Do not commit acts of promiscuity

Bonus - An actual rule that was added by Lan Qiren after WWX and LWJ got together:
“Do not get near Wei Ying”
No, I’m not kidding.
