I will bury the gods

Chapter 135 The Night of First Snow
"invitation?"

The Goddess of Pity held a letter between her jade fingers painted with Koudan. The letter was pasted with gold on red paper and sealed with pearls and jade. It was extremely gorgeous.

Lin Shouxi's eyes were not attracted by this invitation, but looked at her waist. A simple and elegant pear-colored flower brocade belt was wrapped around her waist, revealing a delicate and delicate beauty. The beauty of the slender waist, what is more eye-catching is the sword.

The whole body of the scabbard was pitch black, and the pattern was as simple as the face on a bronze tripod. He vaguely felt that if the sword was pulled out, what he would see was not the bright sword, but a handful of angry burning flames.

"What is the purpose of the Holy Soil Hall?"

Chu Yingchan was not in a hurry to accept the invitation, she knew that it would be a big deal for the seven goddesses to invite them personally.

The Goddess of Pity covered her lips with her jade fingers, and smiled softly: "Forgive me, I have no comment for now, but I can assure you that this is a rare event in a century, and only those who are destined to witness it can be witnessed, and the two are one of them. "

Like the Sanshen Mountain, the Holy Soil Hall is also a holy place for cultivators all over the world, but Chu Yingchan doesn't have a good impression of the seven Chengjing goddesses. Their temperaments are too extreme, and they are hardly human.

After hesitating, Chu Yingchan still took the letter. She opened the envelope, but it was empty.

"When the time is right, the date for the appointment will appear in this letter. At that time, you can go to the temple according to the date stated in the letter. I will wait for you two in the temple." The goddess of pity explained their confusion .

"What if you don't come?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"You will come." The Goddess Chui Lian was extremely confident in her fragility.

"How many people have received this letter?" Chu Yingchan asked.

"No more than ten people," said the Goddess Chui Lian.

"ten people?"

This number is far smaller than what Chu Yingchan imagined. There are far more than ten immortals in the realm of human and gods in this world. Why was this letter sent to them?

"It's inconvenient to say more about the remaining concubines, I hope the two guests can understand."

The goddess of pity held up the white gauze under the fence with one hand, and put her other hand on her waist, blessing her body politely. This goddess has a very high level, but she has no pretensions. Instead, she looks like a girl picking lotus in a boat.

"The letter has been delivered to the two of you. It is inconvenient for me to stay for a long time, so I will leave for the time being." The Goddess Chui Lian pursed her lips and smiled, and then she left.

But she didn't retreat immediately, but leaned down, picked up a handful of ice and snow with both hands, and held them together.White mist floated out of her palm, and when her hands bloomed like lotus flowers, there was a solid ice crystal in her palm, and a freshly withered full petal was wrapped in the center of the ice crystal.

"What are you doing?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"Flowers are just blooming, they are blown by the wind and snow, withered sadly, and shattered in the dust. Youth cannot last forever, and the rainbow is fleeting. When you see it... don't you feel pity?" The goddess of pity held the ice crystal petals in her arms My heart trembled slightly.

"do not think so."

Lin Shouxi and Chu Yingchan said in unison.

Goddess Chui Lian's expression became even sadder. She stood up lightly, turned around, and drifted into the boundless wind and snow.
"The two are also clear and flawless people. You must be more careful when you go to the East. If you die on the way, I will feel sorry for you."

I don't know if these words were a blessing or a curse, the voice disappeared and people disappeared.

This was an inexplicable encounter. Chu Yingchan looked at the letter for a while, and handed it to Lin Shouxi. After repeated inspections, Lin Shouxi couldn't find anything unusual, so she put it in her arms.

"If I remember correctly, her name should be Su Hexue." Chu Yingchan said, "She is also from Patriarch Mountain, so in a sense, she and Shi Yirao are the same teacher and sister."

"Su and Xue..." Lin Shouxi read the name softly, and asked, "Are all the seven goddesses in the Holy Soil Hall like this?"

"Well...they are all sick." Chu Yingchan said.

"Is it caused by the swords at their waists?"

"Yes, it is said that there were seven great immortal demons in the prehistoric period. They were not ordinary demons. They fed on the seven emotions of all spirits and shuttled in the 'Twilight Sea' that symbolized the Illusory God Realm. The emperor personally captured them and used them The divine power grinds it into dust and seals it in the sword. Although the person holding the sword can use the sword to obtain the immortal power of ancient inheritance, they still have to pay the price for it. Emotional extremes are just their means of countermeasures. If you don’t care, what can we criticize?”

Chu Yingchan narrated the legend of the origin of the seven swords, but seeing that Lin Shouxi did not twitch his brows because of the confusion, she asked, "What's wrong?"

"I don't think that sword looks like a human thing." Lin Shouxi said.

"Excalibur is not an ordinary product in the world." Chu Yingchan was puzzled.

Lin Shouxi couldn't explain his intuition clearly, he didn't think too much, when he turned around, those poor children had already run away and disappeared, Chu Yingchan also went to eat something with Lin Shouxi, it was dark and snowy, if they were out of the wilderness They will definitely find a place to rest, but the Shenshan area is a holy place, and there are few evil spirits, so they didn't delay and rushed on the snowy night.

The front is the territory of Chu State.

Human dynasties like the Chu State are not uncommon, but most of the monarchs of the dynasties are immortals with extremely high realms, so they are said to be dynasties, but they are more like giants living with thousands of people.

The streets in Chu State are straight, and the neighborhoods and alleys are very orderly. Although it is night, when Lin Shouxi steps here, he can still feel its richness and tranquility.

Chu Yingchan also told him the story of her father and mother. Her mother was the subjugated princess of the Chu State. Her father was also the son of a wealthy family. After the country was destroyed and the family died, she suffered a lot. Her mother shared the same goals with him and practiced exercises together. , to win over the forces, decades later, they worked together to break into the royal palace, avenged their shame, and pulled back the broken flag of Chu State again.

"It is said that there is Master's help in this, but there are rules in the sacred mountain. The immortals on the mountain are not allowed to get involved in the royal family's private grievances, so my mother never mentioned it." Chu Yingchan walked on the street, slowing down a bit. In the footsteps, the Chu country was also brushed by fresh snow, and it was covered with snow.

"Why don't you stay here?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"Because I have lived here since I was a child, I am too familiar with the palaces, streets, and houses here, and I can't get a sense of novelty when I walk around. Of course, I want to go to other places to have a look." Chu Yingchan said.

"Is it because you dislike your mother too much?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"Not entirely." Chu Yingchan said, "Maybe I...rebelled."

"I can't see it." Lin Shouxi said with a smile, and then asked: "There is nothing special about you meeting your master Xue Ye. What do you like about her?"

"Does liking need a reason?" Chu Yingchan asked back.

Lin Shouxi couldn't answer.

The two fell silent again, each having their own concerns.

On the way, Lin Shouxi closed his eyes and continued to practice the Ding Shu in the cold snowy day. Perhaps it was because the Qingguang Ding Ding already swallowed the wind and snow, and when it was snowing, his progress was also multiplied with half the effort.

Lin Shouxi's cauldron technique has basically been completed. Now, as long as he introduces the heart method of Hehuanzong into the inner cauldron, Hehuansan can be directly conceived in the inner cauldron. Of course, he dare not do this.

Lin Shouxi also tried other mental methods. He infused the Heart Sutra of the Wu Family into the inner cauldron to obtain a white pill. The Dragon Capturing Hands have no specific written inheritance, so they couldn't put it into the inner cauldron, and when he tried to input the Baitong Black Phoenix Sword Sutra, his body gave out a violent alarm sound, as if a fire phoenix would come from him the next moment. Resuscitated in the body, smashed the inner cauldron together with the qi pill.

After coming to this world, it was difficult for Lin Shouxi to have time to calm down and practice, so even though he had completed the cauldron technique, he didn't have many kinds of mental techniques for alchemy. At the same time, it is equivalent to newly mastering a refining method of elixir.

The new snow is just beginning to fall, and the waning moon is in the sky. At midnight, Chu State is shrouded in a hazy phantom.

They hadn't stopped on the road, and they were all tired by now. They walked across the ice bridge on the snow and entered a courtyard to rest for a while.

"What are you cultivating?" Chu Yingchan looked at the flow of true energy around him and asked.

Lin Shouxi was stared at by the white fairy's clear gaze, and for a moment he was too embarrassed to say the name of the exercise. He took out the ancient scroll and handed it to Chu Yingchan for her to read by herself.

Chu Yingchan took it, opened the title page, fixed her eyes on it, and read out softly: "Yin Yang Alchemy Cauldron Acacia Good Fortune Art..."

"Why, do you want to say that this is a crooked way that monks despise?" Lin Shouxi didn't wait for her to speak, and said this first. Back in the Dragon Palace, Mu Shijing ridiculed his secret book many times, and shouted He is the head of the Demon Cult.

"No."

Chu Yingchan shook her head lightly, and unexpectedly gave a negative answer.

She was sitting upright in the snow pavilion, flipping the ancient scrolls which were not thick with her fingers, and said calmly: "Where do the real magic skills come from in the world? Many of them are just the words of a family that excludes dissidents. Kind and peaceful, no matter what you practice, you will not do things that hurt the world, and I think this is... very interesting."

"interesting?"

On the contrary, Lin Shouxi was stunned by what Chu Yingchan said. After getting along with Mu Shijing for a long time, now he is really flattered to face this fairy in white.

"Yes."

Chu Yingchan, who was dressed in bright clothes, was sitting in the red pavilion, flipping through the scrolls, with ethereal charm in her elegant and beautiful eyes, she said: "This is something that most people have to go through, but for some reason, people are obsessed with it. However, it is secretive and secretive, avoiding it like a snake and scorpion, as if this is a taboo that should never be mentioned. People too."

Chu Yingchan spoke slowly, her words were calm and gentle, as if the April wind dispelled the coldness of the snowy night.

"Master is wise." Lin Shouxi couldn't help saying.The master is sincerely convinced by this voice.

"It's also this year's travel that made me think about many things. The more I think about it, the farther away I am from the horns, and my heart is tolerant." Chu Yingchan said softly.

Lin Shouxi nodded, feeling that her heart was wider than that of Xiaohe and Mu Shijing, of course, the fact is also true...

Chu Yingchan stopped flipping through the ancient scrolls, raised her head, looked at Lin Shouxi again, and asked:
"In these years, you have also suffered a lot of criticism, right?"

"Me." Lin Shouxi thought for a while, and said, "It's okay. I used to rarely leave home, and there are like-minded people in the door, and the most criticism comes from Xiaohe and Mu Shijing."

"Mu Shijing..." Chu Yingchan didn't know whether this was her senior sister or her senior sister, "What kind of person is she?"

Chu Yingchan originally thought that Mu Shijing was a very good person, but Master Ye's punishment changed her opinion. She rarely saw Master beat him so hard. Compared with her, Master's attitude towards her It can be described as gentle.

"You'll understand after spending some time with her." It was difficult for Lin Shouxi to comment on Mu Shijing.

Chu Yingchan nodded, and continued to read the book with her head down. The book was mainly about the refining of the cauldron, so Lin Shouxi did not stop her. Is a poor man.

When turning to the last page, Chu Yingchan saw the last words. The author said that he didn't want to go into details about Hehuan, but he still mentioned that if a cultivator has some special hobbies, Hehuan can be used as an excuse. Cited, will get twice the result with half the effort.

Curious in Chu Yingchan's heart, she looked at Lin Shouxi again with her long, clear eyes. She pointed at that sentence and asked softly, "Do you have any?"

"I..." Lin Shouxi never thought that this holy and pure fairy in white would ask such a question.

"Isn't it okay to ask?" Chu Yingchan said.

"What do you think?" Lin Shouxi asked back.

"I don't think there's anything shameful about it. On the contrary, I think it's a gift from the gods." Chu Yingchan said seriously.

"Gift?" Lin Shouxi was surprised.

"That's right, this is your own happiness. You can feel it, but others can't. It won't hurt you. Besides giving you pleasure, it can also make your practice more effective. Isn't this a gift from the gods? "Chu Yingchan's words are sincere and touching, which makes people feel like hearing a bell.

"You're right." Lin Shouxi couldn't refute, and even wanted to say 'disciple has enlightened'.

"Then..." Chu Yingchan pulled a few strands of blue hair behind her ears, and stopped talking.

"Do you have any?" Lin Shouxi asked back.

"I..." Chu Yingchan hung her neck in meditation for a while, but shook her head, "I don't seem to be favored by the gods."

"Then I'm also an abandoned baby of the gods." Lin Shouxi still didn't want to suffer.

Chu Yingchan smiled quietly, picked up the ancient scroll with both hands, and returned it without asking any more questions.

No more snow fell.

After resting for about half a stick of incense, they set off again, passed the ice bridge to the opposite bank, and continued on their way.

The territory of Shenshan is very vast. Their figures are obviously fast, but the road in front of them still has no end in sight. According to Chu Yingchan, they will not be able to see the city wall to the east until the morning of the day after tomorrow.

"By the way, there are two senior sisters and senior brothers in the Daomen Xianlou, where are they?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"They..." Chu Yingchan thought for a while, and said, "Second senior sister and senior brother are both in the Western Wilderness, guarding an ancient land facing the sky and yellow sand every day. Although I have only met them once, They're all good people."

Lin Shouxi nodded.

A few hours later, it was dawn.

They drank a cup of morning tea together, took a rest for a while, and went on the road again. Lin Shouxi looked at the woman in white beside him... It was his own business to find Xiaohe, but he felt a little guilty for letting her work hard with him. .

At noon, they saw Mount Shenshou in the distance.

Shenshou Mountain is about the same size as Yunkong Mountain, and they both stand towering, reaching high into the sky, but Shenshou Mountain is more solitary and has more sub-peaks.It is not as rich in Qionglouyuyu as Yunkong Mountain. At a glance, Shenshou Mountain is full of simple bamboo and wood buildings, returning to the original, almost blending with the mountains and forests.

"Are you familiar with this area?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"Not familiar." Chu Yingchan shook her head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Shouxi hesitated and said, "I want to find someone."

"Looking for someone? Do you have any friends here?" Chu Yingchan asked.

"Well, she's a seven or eight-year-old girl." Lin Shouxi added after finishing speaking, "We met by accident."

Chu Yingchan nodded, and continued to ask: "What else do you know, you can tell me, although I am not familiar with this place, but my mother lived here for a long time, she may be able to help you. "

"I only know her nickname, um... she also has a very powerful mother." Lin Shouxi said.

"Is that all?"

"Ah."

"If there are only these, I'm afraid it won't be easy to find." Chu Yingchan apologized slightly.

"I'll try my best to find it. If it doesn't work, then...it's okay."

Lin Shouxi believes that Xiaoyu's parents should be safe and sound, even if they can't be found for a while, but there is no place in life where they don't meet, and the years will be long, and when she grows up, there will always be a time to meet each other, but I don't know, at that time , Will she still remember this master who only taught her for six or seven days?

In front of Shenshou Mountain, the streets are bustling with people coming and going. It is hard to imagine that such a place was once trampled by the giant feet of the Cangbi King, and was once razed to thousands of miles of ruins, and the ground was full of bones.

Lin Shouxi looked far away, imagining the scene of the Cangbi King tearing up the high wall, and he couldn't help but think of the three-flowered cat, and his mind was in a trance.

Chu Yingchan saw that he was a little absent-minded, so she invited him to practice swordsmanship again.

Lin Shouxi was also quite curious about the magical techniques of Taoism. This is Mu Shijing's most commonly used fingering and swordsmanship, which once made him breathless in the dead city.

He wanted to seek a solution through Chu Yingchan.

Similarly, Chu Yingchan also used him to find a way to break the witch family's swordsmanship, in case of emergency. Although she does not regard Xiaohe as an enemy, but Xiaohe is a girl who always likes to provoke. If she is really annoyed by provocation, she will Well there is a way to counter it.

Neither of them knew the other's intentions, they just regarded it as a pure swordsmanship discussion.

At sunset, they stopped in a small city within the walls, preparing to have a good night's rest, and they would leave the city tomorrow morning, heading east all the way without stopping.

They chose a small inn, booked two rooms, and planned to stay.

When they got downstairs, Chu Yingchan and Lin Shouxi stopped together.

Like yesterday, they saw a beautiful fairy in a white dress again.

But this time the one who came was not a goddess holding a sword of sin, but...

"Mother, why are you here?" Chu Yingchan asked suspiciously.
