I will bury the gods

Chapter 136 Tsing Yi Falls into a Dream

It was Chu Miao who came.

Chu Miao was sitting by the window, the hot tea in front of her was misty in the winter, she was sitting dignifiedly, her upper and lower skirts were all white, her waist girdle was gold woven and embroidered, luxurious and graceful.

Chu Miao raised her head and saw Chu Yingchan as well. She showed a surprised expression, as if she did not expect to see her daughter here.

"Yingchan, why are you here? What a coincidence..."

"Stop pretending." Chu Yingchan said ruthlessly: "There is no such thing as a coincidence in the world. Do you think I am still a little girl who you can coax?"

mother……

Lin Shouxi listened to this title, looked at this fairy with eternal beauty, and never thought that he would meet this empress of Chu here.

The 300 years have not left a trace on her beautiful face. Unlike the graceful and arrogant mother in front of the world, she is gentle and compassionate in front of her daughter, and her eyes are as quiet as pools of water. Gentle and warm light.

What should this be called?Master's mother, is she Master's wife...

Lin Shouxi's knowledge was briefly stuck in a bottleneck.

Chu Yingchan sat down in front of her, and Lin Shouxi sat beside her. Chu Miao glanced at Lin Shouxi nonchalantly, with a look of scrutiny in her eyes.

Chu Miao beckoned, and brought up two cups of tea that had been prepared, and placed them safely in front of them.

"Is this Yingchan's new apprentice?" Chu Miao asked.

"Ah."

"I heard that he became very famous in Shengyun Pavilion, which made Lu Yushen very unhappy, um...is his name Lin Shouxi?"

"Ah."

"You are so good-looking. You are indeed the one my daughter likes."

"Ok?"

Chu Yingchan and Lin Shouxi looked at her at the same time.

Chu Miao knew she had made a slip of the tongue, she covered her lips with her fingers, and smiled apologetically, thinking in her heart: What are you pretending to be, it is rumored everywhere in Shenshan that you are a fiancé couple, even mother knows.

She came to the east of the city wall today, just to see who is the young man who can be admired by her daughter.

Lin Shouxi was dressed in black clothes with a right lapel, thin and simple, but his beauty far exceeded Chu Miao's expectations. Chu Miao had lived for more than 300 years and met countless immortal sons, but he was the first See you once.

No wonder her daughter rejected so many marriage proposals... Chu Miao understood her all of a sudden.

The fact that Chu Yingchan is Lin Shouxi's fiancée was spread because Shuang Sisi misunderstood the meaning of Lin Shouxi's words. The rest of the disciples had already discussed it in an uproar, and it was almost written into the Shenshan Mandarin Duck Book. Only this couple Unaware.

"I mean, as expected of my daughter's favorite apprentice." Chu Miao took good care of her daughter's shyness.

Chu Yingchan always felt that her mother's eyes were strange today, so she didn't ask any more questions, she covered her drooping temples with one hand, and picked up the teacup like a flower with the other hand, put it to her lips and took a sip.

The fragrance of the tea is rich, bitter at first taste, sweet aftertaste, Chu Yingchan took a sip and realized that this is a good tea specially provided by the Chu Palace, not owned by this shop, she frowned slightly, and couldn't help cursing her mother's superfluity.

Normally, Chu Yingchan would say something to her mother coldly, and then find a reason to leave alone, telling her not to follow her, but now that her new apprentice is by her side, she will restrain her self-willedness in getting along with her mother After a few minutes, I sat obediently and sipped tea.

In Chu Miao's eyes, this move has a special charm: to establish a virtuous image in front of her future husband.

She was even more curious about who this Lin Shouxi was, who could make such a cold and cold fairy daughter... Even, Chu Miao felt a little jealous.

With preconceived ideas, Chu Miao felt that something was wrong when she saw their every move, the strangeness between them became a disguise, the restraint became shyness, and the taciturnity became tacit understanding.

Chu Miao chatted with her daughter for a while, and asked about the new sect, she answered them one by one.

"Mother, it's good if you have something to say, you don't have to beat around the bush." ​​Chu Yingchan said.

"It's nothing, just to see my daughter."

Chu Miao was in a good mood when she saw that her marriage was settled, with a smile on her lips all the time.

Chu Yingchan was really uncomfortable, and wanted to get up and leave, but Lin Shouxi spoke. He was humble and polite:

"Disciple Lin Shouxi has met Queen Chu."

Chu Miao nodded, she was very satisfied with the young man's appearance and bones, she even imagined that in the future he and Yingchan would go out together and call her mother-in-law.

"Ah."

"Disciple wants to ask Empress Chu for something." Lin Shouxi cut to the chase.

Did you think about sending your mother-in-law before you passed the door... Chu Miao did not rush to agree, but said: "You are Yingchan's apprentice, if there is anything I can do, I will help."

Chu Yingchan also remembered what she said earlier about finding someone. She didn't expect that as soon as she promised to ask her mother for help, her mother would come to her door on her own initiative.

"I know a little girl. Her home is near Shenshou Mountain. Her mother should be related to Shenshou Mountain Zhanxie. I don't know..."

"Oh, Zhanxie Division." Chu Miao immediately said: "Shenshou Mountain Zhanxie Division has many disciples of the Chu family, and I am also old with the current leader of Zhanxie Division. If you want to find someone, you can be regarded as finding the right person How old is that friend of yours and what's his name?"

Chu Miao was very enthusiastic, and she also wanted to make a good impression on her future son-in-law.

"Her name is Xiaoyu, she should be seven years old this year." Lin Shouxi said.

……

"Small... language?"

Chu Miao showed a surprised expression. She stared at Lin Shouxi and asked, "When did you know each other?"

"This year."

Seeing Chu Miao's strange expression, Lin Shouxi thought she knew something, and his heart tightened.

"This year..."

Chu Miao thought for a while about the families she knew. There were quite a few families with seven-year-old girls, but the one named Xiaoyu...she didn't remember much.

"How did you know a seven-year-old girl?"

Chu Miao showed a look of vigilance. She had inquired about Lin Shouxi's age when she came here. She was 16 years old... 16 years old minus seven years is nine years old. Fortunately, this should not be an illegitimate daughter, so what is she?Long lost sister?

"In short, we just met by chance." Lin Shouxi had a hard time explaining.

"What's her last name?"

"do not know."

"Apart from name and age, do you know anything else? For example, her family background, appearance, or...the relationship with you." Chu Miao continued to ask.

"She is my apprentice." Lin Shouxi didn't hide it.

"Disciple?"

Both Chu Miao and Chu Yingchan showed surprise, they didn't know when he cheated the little apprentice.

"Does my daughter have any grandchildren?"

It turned out to be related... Chu Miao listened to Lin Shouxi more seriously.

"Her dress is quite similar to Bai Zhu's, um... There is also a sword tower in her house. By the way, I have seen her mother." Lin Shouxi tried hard to recall.

"What does her mother look like?"

It is not surprising that many wealthy families have a special building for storing swords, but if you know the parents' appearance, it should not be difficult to find them.

"Her mother..."

In the Dragon Palace, when Lin Shouxi and Mu Shijing worked together to build the Hetu Luoshu and fell into trouble, Xiaoyu's mother spoke through the ancient sword and dragged them out of the abyss of Heluo.

Before that, he had seen that woman more than once.

A woman who can give birth to a cute girl like Xiaoyu is naturally a magnificent fairy, but when Lin Shouxi wanted to describe her appearance, his mind suddenly became confused.

——as if a transparent hand climbed out of his internal organs, and his fingertips pierced into his brain like a knife piercing tofu, and erased something lightly. When he came back to his senses, his impression of the goddess was only What was left was the green skirt that fluttered like a soul streamer and the bottomless eyes that were light glass in color.

"what happened to you?"

Chu Miaoyu stretched out her fingers and pointed at the center of his brows. Lin Shouxi straightened his back as soon as he noticed the coldness penetrating his body. When he looked at Chu Miao again, it was like waking up from a big dream, and cold sweat broke out in his back.

"I... can't remember." Lin Shouxi said.

Chu Miao also sensed something was wrong, she knew that this young man was hiding a secret that could not be revealed for the time being, so she didn't ask any more questions.

"If it's just these clues, I'm afraid it won't be too easy to find." Chu Miao said.

"Mother always brags about her hands and eyes, so why is she showing cowardice when things come to an end?" Chu Yingchan asked.

"I..." Chu Miao could not let her daughter look down on her no matter what, "Don't worry, as long as she is from the vicinity of the sacred mountain, even if she digs three feet, I will help you find it."

"It's time for the empress." Lin Shouxi rubbed his temples, feeling lingering fear.

Chu Yingchan was also very curious about this 'Xiaoyu', she didn't know who she was, who could make Lin Shouxi so interested.

Afterwards they chatted for a while, Chu Miao sipped her tea, murmured a 'small language' from time to time, she seemed to care more about this little girl than Lin Shouxi.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Chu Yingchan asked.

"It's nothing, I just remembered a childhood playmate." Chu Miao said.

In this world, it seems that she is the only one who knows Gong Yu's name.

When mentioning Xiaoyu, the first thing she thought of was of course the past 300 years ago. At that time, Xiaoyu was about seven years old. Doting on her daughter was only a symbolic punishment every time. At that time, Xiaoyu was running around the family wearing a cloak with crocodiles all day long, looking like a little devil in the world.

The memories of childhood are still in front of my eyes, and the grievances and grievances at that time seem to be nothing more than petty troubles, but after many years, it is more unforgettable than the bloody night when the country was restored.

In the blink of an eye, 300 years have passed.

Oh, by the way, Xiaoyu also seems to be struggling to find a master... 300 years ago, Xiaoyu was unable to find a master, and 300 years later, her disciple and grandson were unable to find an apprentice named Xiaoyu... Could there be such a coincidence?

"Mother, you probably don't have the ability to find it, so you're trying to save face here." Chu Yingchan said with a smile, interrupting Chu Miao's thoughts.

Chu Miao raised her eyebrows, she knew that this was her daughter's way of provoking her, but she still couldn't help but feel annoyed, thinking that you turned your elbow outside before you even got through the door with him?This is too outrageous!

"Don't worry, if I can't find this Xiaoyu, I will pay you a Xiaoyu." Chu Miao said.

"Pay one?" Chu Yingchan didn't understand.

"Hmm, you'll know when the time comes."

Chu Miao made a fool of herself, it's just a small talk in her mouth, I'm afraid it can no longer be called a 'small talk'.Chu Miao planned to tell Gong Yu about this when she saw Gong Yu next time.

……

Late at night.

Chu Miao invited them to drink tea and have a meal. After dinner, she told her daughter many matters. Chu Yingchan was already tired of hearing these clichés, so she just perfunctory them symbolically.

Lin Shouxi was much more polite. He listened carefully to Chu Miao's words, nodding his head in response from time to time, making the Empress of Chu very happy. He wished he could write a marriage letter with a stroke of his pen.

"Mother, it's getting late, and there are no extra guest rooms here, you..." Chu Yingchan hesitated to speak.

"Does my daughter want my mother to share a room with you? Yes, after you were seven years old, mother hasn't slept with you in her arms." Chu Miao pretended to be ignorant.

Chu Yingchan bit her lip and glanced at Lin Shouxi, wondering if she should show her temper.

"Okay, mother won't bother you anymore." Chu Miao smiled knowingly and stopped pretending to be confused.

Thanks to Lin Shouxi's help, she was satisfied with spending so much time with her daughter today, so she exchanged a few casual greetings and waved goodbye to them.

"The queen is a very good person, no wonder she gave birth to a daughter like you." Lin Shouxi said sincerely.

"Ah."

Chu Yingchan nodded, taking it as a compliment to her.

Let's go upstairs together.

Their rooms were next to each other, separated only by a not-so-thick wooden wall. After arriving in their respective rooms, they checked their luggage, showered and changed their clothes, and prepared for leaving the city tomorrow morning.

From here to the demon tower is a precipitous place full of evil spirits. That land is even called the rotting soil of demons. It is a well-known cursed place, and even birds are unwilling to fly over it.

It is a forbidden place for humans, but it is a paradise for monsters.

After bathing and changing, Chu Yingchan put on a brand-new white dress, and Lin Shouxi also put on a brand-new black dress. They closed the windows together and lay on a slightly crude wooden bed with their backs against the wall.

There are three paintings on the wall, which are the blessings of the gods, the forgiveness of sins, and the relief of disasters. The gods in the paintings are like elephants, and their bodies are as huge as hills. The backs of the gods and men are full of golden spears, halberds and swords. They overlooked the world, their faces protruding from the thunderclouds like the faces of lions.

In the two different rooms, their movements were surprisingly consistent. Without the cover of this wooden wall, they should be back to back now.

The sky outside the window was getting darker and darker, and gradually, the stars also disappeared.

Lin Shouxi lay down for a while, when sleepiness suddenly hit him, and he leaned against the wall like this, and fell into a deep sleep.

Lin Shouxi was dreaming again.

This time he didn't dream of the snowfield and the palace, but Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu in the dream is sitting in a wooden pavilion, with eyelashes hanging down, immature and well-behaved, there are thick books piled up in the wooden pavilion, she is holding a book, flipping through it seriously and quickly, while pressing a booklet , holding a pen, taking notes carefully.

Lin Shouxi watched this scene quietly, feeling an unspeakable tranquility and warmth. He held his breath and did not dare to make a sound, letting time pass by quietly.

He realized it was a dream, but he didn't want to wake it up.

I do not know how long it has been.

Suddenly, Lin Shouxi's expression turned serious.

He caught a glimpse of an 'excess'.

He could only helplessly see a blue shadow appearing behind Xiaoyu, it was a green skirt fluttering in the air, the material of the green skirt was clear but almost illusory, a white, translucent body floated out of the blue skirt, with blue silk Flowing... Her appearance is like flowers blooming in the void, layer upon layer, silently, without the slightest weight.

ghost.

She is like a ghost that suddenly appeared in this wooden pavilion.

She floated behind Xiaoyu, watching her quietly.

Lin Shouxi thought it was a day and night dream, so he didn't take it seriously.

At a certain moment, the ghost in the floating green skirt opened its arms, as if it wanted to give Xiaoyu a hug. never existed.

Next, this scene was repeated in many different scenes. In these scenes, Xiaoyu was almost alone, and her mother turned into a ghost floating behind her, quietly guarding her growth.

Is this... a dream or reality?

Lin Shouxi was a little unclear.

He stared at the ghost in the green dress, as if he wanted to find out some secrets. Just as Lin Shouxi was concentrating on it, the green dress turned his head faintly and smiled vaguely at him.

"What did you see?" the woman in the green skirt asked softly.

Lin Shouxi couldn't answer.

In the dream, he was like a cloud-like ghost, and the woman's slender gaze turned into a gust of wind, tearing him clean in an instant, turning him into a collapsing vortex, and annihilated in an instant.

Xiaoyu sat in the wooden pavilion and stopped writing. She looked at the empty darkness behind her, as if she was looking for something, and suddenly shed tears.

"Mother...Master...is it you?"

The girl asked soft questions to the silent night, but she never waited for an answer.

Lin Shouxi woke up from the dream.

It was daylight.

Light streamed from the window, illuminating the end of his couch.

Lin Shouxi got up from the couch, touched his unscathed body, and recalled the previous dream, with lingering fears in his heart.He felt that in the vast world, there was also a pair of invisible eyes peeping behind him.

He took a deep breath, turned around, but was stunned... His intuition did not deceive him, someone was really watching him by the bed.

It was Chu Yingchan in a white dress.

"Why are you here?" Lin Shouxi was dissatisfied with her trespassing on the room.

"I'm worried about you." Chu Yingchan said.

"Worried about me? What can I do?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"It's almost noon now, and I saw that you were still awake, so I came to take a look." Chu Yingchan explained.

"Is it noon..."

Lin Shouxi was startled, he let out a breath, his mind was in a trance, "I just... had a very strange dream."

"Could it be that you are too tired." Chu Yingchan reached out and touched his forehead, and said.

"Maybe." Lin Shouxi shook his head and said, "In short... a little uneasy."

Chu Yingchan didn't know what to comfort her, and in the end she just said softly, "Master is here."

Lin Shouxi's heartstrings moved slightly, but he remained silent. He left the couch and put on his clothes, looked at the closed window, and said, "It's time to go."

Today is the day to leave the city.
