I will bury the gods

Chapter 137
Leaving the inn and walking out of the high city, the shriveled wind blows the fallen leaves, mixed with a few pieces of snow flying down from the towers.

Lin Shouxi stood outside the city, took out a map to confirm the route, and then set off with Chu Yingchan.

There are no verdant forests and continuous grasses in the wilderness. They stepped on the dirty and sour land. The black forest in front of them was like hard hair growing out of the mud, but the earth could not bear the cold wind day by day. Mo, these 'black hair' are desolate and sparse, as if they will sink into the mud at any time.

In the sky, half-haired vultures were flying and circling, their hoarse cries leaking to the ground, as if admonishing passers-by not to move forward.

There are two completely different eras inside and outside the city. One is the era when civilization and magic flourished, and the other is the barbaric era before slash-and-burn farming. The weirdness of the world reveals the mystery of the Creator. Lin Shouxi often feels that Chu Yingchan It is more suitable to live in his past world.

"Why are you so absent-minded today? Are you still thinking about that little sister named Xiaoyu?" Chu Yingchan noticed her strange look and asked.

"no."

Lin Shouxi shook his head. Although he missed Xiaoyu, what lingered in his mind was more the green skirt in his dream last night. He believed that the dream was illusory, but after waking up, he always felt that this person was in a divine state. The ghost seems to be hiding in a corner and watching him, lingering.

"If you feel unwell, it's better to return as soon as possible. Xiaohe is cleaning up at the Yaosha Pagoda. If you go early, she might still be in seclusion. It's not bad for a day or two. Don't make any mistakes." Chu Yingchan Concerned.

"Perhaps it's because of the timidity of being close to the hometown and restlessness." Lin Shouxi said with a self-deprecating smile.

"Aren't you timid to be close to home..." Chu Yingchan nodded lightly, and then asked: "When you see Xiaohe, have you decided what to say to her?"

"Well... not yet." Lin Shouxi shook his head and said, "If you deliberately prepare, you will lose your heart."

"That's right." Chu Yingchan said.

Lin Shouxi thought about her words, pondered for a moment, but then said:

"At that time, I used the 'unintentional curse' to deceive Xiaohe, and Xiaohe should have cared about it. When we meet, the first thing I say would be to ask her 'Are you still angry with me', what do you think?"

"..." Chu Yingchan pursed her lips, "Aren't you trying to be sincere?"

"That's what I really think... Well, anyway, just in case." Lin Shouxi said seriously.

He felt that what Chu Yingchan said made sense, and when we met, if he was really too stupid to say a word, Xiaohe would definitely make fun of him in the long days to come.

"Xiaohe should not be angry anymore. She has not been angry for a long time. I could see it before leaving Wu's house." Chu Yingchan said.

She always remembers the snowy weather of those months. The girl with white hair and red cloak leaned against the window to watch the snow every day, her eyes were full of sadness, and she would only wake up when footsteps sounded behind her. Turning their heads, neither Chu Yingchan nor Bai Zhu could bear to see her disappointed expression, so they were cautious even when walking.

"Of course I know that Xiaohe is not angry with me anymore, I just think it will be touched if I ask this way."

Lin Shouxi murmured and opened his mouth. He could even imagine the picture of Xiaohe crying and shaking his head, hugging himself tightly, and his heart beat violently.

"Okay, you used this method to plot against Miss Xiaohe, aren't you afraid that I will sue you?" Chu Yingchan also changed her gentle tone, revealing a sense of reproach.

"I believe in Master." Lin Shouxi said.

Chu Yingchan lowered her head and didn't speak, but when her sakura-colored lips moved again, the conversation changed, "I think this sentence is not bad, but Xiaohe might have forgotten about the Wuxin curse, you are here Bringing up old things at such a critical moment, I am afraid that I will be imprisoned by this matter for the rest of my life."

"It's still your thoughtfulness." Lin Shouxi nodded, thinking it made sense.

"Hmm...how about saying, 'Xiaohe, I found you'?" Chu Yingchan also made a suggestion.

"Xun is a good use of the word." Lin Shouxi praised, and then said: "But isn't this too hypocritical?"

The two discussed it.

In this situation, the master and the apprentice are in harmony, but if Xiaohe is present, he may be able to chase them from the east of the city to the west of the city.

Passing through the black forest, stepping over several rough-built scaffoldings, and climbing up a black mountain, there is a bottomless rift in front of which is filled with gray mist all the year round. Lin Shouxi found a road according to the instructions on the map. Steep mountain road, along the edge of the mountain.

This black mountain was as steep as if it had been split by an axe, and it was difficult for a flying eagle to get a foothold. Except for life like antelopes and snow leopards, almost all other creatures were destined to fall into the abyss.

"These unreasonable mountains and valleys are considered to be the relics left by the battles of the gods in ancient times. Legend has it that there was no distinction between gods and demons at that time. They fought between the heavens and the earth. The winners would split the valleys as coffins, and the losers would sleep forever. Under the ground, the body is eaten away by the earth, and gradually decays into a ghost with condensed resentment." Chu Yingchan looked at the rift valley and said.

"Where did the gods come from?" Lin Shouxi couldn't imagine how the world bred these monsters that could destroy the world itself.

"I don't know, but there is a real supernatural scroll in the Holy Land Temple. Some people call it the 'Book of Answers', and some call it the 'Page of Truth'. It is said that it contains the truth of the ages. It was placed in the most eye-catching position of the Holy Land Hall, but it has never been stolen in these years." Chu Yingchan said.

"why?"

"Because not to mention reading, even if an ordinary fairy just touches it, he will lose all sound reason in an instant, and become a living corpse that babbles all day long. Legend has it that a great monk who was in the realm of gods tried to read. He When I read to the second page, I cut out my pupils, chewed and swallowed it, and then laughed like crazy until I died of exhaustion."

"Is this book so evil?"

"No, it's not evil. God said that the truth is chaos. If you want to understand chaos, you must first integrate with chaos."

"chaos……"

Lin Shouxi was also very curious about what was recorded in that scroll that could turn a great monk in the realm of gods into crazy walking corpses.

"Other than the emperor and the seven goddesses of purification, are there other people in the holy soil hall?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"Of course." Chu Yingchan said, "Sacred Soil Palace is like a royal palace, and there are various official positions in it. The requirements for these official positions are very high. Even the guards of a small building are at least in Yuan Chi Realm...Of course. , the realm is not the most stringent, the most stringent is the blood."

"Bloodline?"

"Well, those who can enter the holy soil hall must have the pure blood of the 'immortal comer' flowing in their bodies."

"The fairy comer..."

When he was in Chaoyun Pavilion, the old man told Lin Shouxi the story of the immortals and the earth-born. It is said that the first human beings are divided into superior and inferior, and a small number of people are immortals. Associating with the earth-born, for a long time, the earth-born are lowly, slaves driven by real immortals.

Since the millennium, the patriarchs have practiced heaven and earth without discrimination, and only the Holy Land Temple, known as the place where the gods live, still strictly enforces this rule.

"Well, the Seven Goddesses and others are all descendants of true immortals. No matter how humble and courteous they are, they are still defiant in their bones. I... don't like them." Chu Yingchan said.

Lin Shouxi couldn't help but think of the eldest son and Zhao Ge who are known as the reincarnation of the real immortal, and nodded in agreement, "I don't like it either."

In fact, although true immortals have self-righteous superior bloodlines, they do not have much advantage over the top geniuses of human beings, but they like to attribute this to 'bloodline contamination'.

Walking along the narrow mountain road, Chu Yingchan walked in front. Although she was as tall and strong as a swallow, she still walked very carefully.

The wind in the mountains was strong, and the cold wind blew in front of her face, blowing her long hair wildly and covering Lin Shouxi's cheeks for a while. Chu Yingchan was a little embarrassed, and untied a red ribbon tied around her wrist, and handed it to Lin Shouxi. Lin Shouxi, ask him to tie up his hair.

Lin Shouxi took the headband hesitantly, put his hands around Chu Yingchan's fluttering long hair, and grabbed it into a bunch indecently.

"How?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"Well... just fasten it tight." Chu Yingchan said.

Lin Shouxi wanted to tie a bow, but the wind in the mountain was too strong. After thinking about it, Lin Shouxi chose to tie a knot. Chu Yingchan didn't care, and thanked her softly.

The tied long hair is no longer flying around, it is more like a whip, swinging with the wind, falling on the waist and buttocks of the fairy in white, Lin Shouxi can't help but think of the scene of crawling forward with Mu Shijing in the underground palace, even though he He is used to being calm, but he is still a teenager, so he is unavoidably cautious, and he involuntarily slows down his steps, keeping a proper distance from Chu Yingchan.

The obstacle of the mountain road is not only narrow, the rock is like a living thing, countless black stalagmites rush out from the ground and between the rock walls, blocking the front, if you want to walk, you need to split these black stalagmites.

The black ruler was slender, and it was hard to cut the stalagmites that were several people high along the road. Lin Shouxi handed Zhan Gong over and lent it to her.

"Your master is really serious. You didn't even give you a really good sword when you went out to kill demons and demons." Lin Shouxi shook his head and said.

"The sword is a weapon of a gentleman. Now I am wearing a sinful body, so I am not qualified to wear it." Chu Yingchan lowered her neck and said softly.

"You've done a good job." Lin Shouxi said.

Although he has always had some grievances about the Wu family, from the perspective of being a teacher and an apprentice, Lin Shouxi really doesn't think she has anything to criticize.

"We are going to the vicinity of Yaosha Pagoda to quell a small commotion. It doesn't matter even if you don't have a sword in your hand. The book says that as long as the sword's heart is clear, flying leaves and picking flowers can be swords." Chu Yingchan said.

"Even the great god who split the chaos was born with a divine weapon, and picking flowers from leaves is just a beautiful fantasy." Lin Shouxi said.

"The great god who splits the chaos?" Chu Yingchan showed doubts.

"Well... that's a legend in our hometown." Lin Shouxi said perfunctorily.

Splitting the stalagmites blocking the road and walking all the way up, the gray fog in the rift valley is getting thinner and thinner. When you climb to the high place, the sky and the earth appear broad in your vision, and flocks of black birds fly towards the east, as if they are guiding the way.

Looking around, there were countless mountains, rivers and swamps in front of them, and it might be difficult to find a place to rest their feet. Fortunately, Chu Miao was thoughtful and bought two cloth tents for them yesterday. These cloth tents looked no bigger than umbrellas, but they could be opened. A space to accommodate them overnight.

Finally crossing this high gorge, they rested for a while on a lifeless strange rock beach.

"Give it back to you, it's really a good sword." Chu Yingchan handed it back to Zhan Gong.

Zhan Gong heard the praise and uttered a clear sound.Chu Yingchan got Zhan Gong's approval so easily.

Chu Yingchan was a little surprised when she found out that it was the master's saber. She had heard of the divine sword named Zhan Palace in the fairy tower, but she had never seen it before. She didn't know it until recently. It turned out that this sword was given to Mu Shijing.

Chu Yingchan bit her lower lip and lowered her eyelashes, somewhat jealous, but she also understood that compared to her, Master should prefer a lively girl like Mu Shijing.

Lin Shouxi took Zhan Gong, took out a bottle of water from the bag, and handed it over. Chu Yingchan took the special porcelain bottle and took a sip. The porcelain bottle was handed to Lin Shouxi to let him recover his true energy. Lin Shouxi took a pill and wanted to return the porcelain bottle. Chu Yingchan wanted to give this bottle of jade liquid pill to him to eat on the way, but Lin Shouxi insisted on returning it to her. .

With the lessons learned from the underground palace, Lin Shouxi didn't dare to put two bottles of Yuye Dan on his body anymore, and Chu Yingchan thought that he was a little sensitive to the pills.

Lin Shouxi put Zhan Gong behind his back again.

When the sword was mentioned, Lin Shouxi immediately thought of what Grandpa Zhenshou had told him, and asked, "Do you know the whereabouts of the Excalibur of the Zhu Clan?"

"Excalibur of the Clan?" Chu Yingchan was slightly surprised, "Why would you ask this?"

"I saw the murals of the Excalibur of the Executioners and the Sword of Absurdity on the wall, and I was a little curious." Lin Shouxi made up a reason casually.

"The history of these two divine swords is longer than that of human beings. They are existences that the ancient gods fear, but like many ancient gods, their whereabouts have long been unknown. Not to mention me, even Shizunying Clues." Chu Yingchan said.

"Is that so..." Lin Shouxi got the expected answer.

Chu Yingchan looked at this handsome young man seriously, always feeling that he was harboring a real secret.

"If you really want to look for it, I will try my best to help you find the information later. I believe that as long as something still exists in the world, there will always be clues to follow, even if it is a divine sword." Chu Yingchan stared at him with clear eyes, Say.

Listening to her firm yet gentle words, Lin Shouxi was momentarily at a loss for what to say.

"You don't have to be so nice," he said.

Chu Yingchan was slightly stunned, and also showed confusion, "You are my only apprentice, so it's only natural to treat you well."

"Master is too obedient." Lin Shouxi said.

"Good?" When Chu Yingchan heard this word, she always felt like a junior. She frowned, feeling a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but put her words in a cold voice, "You released the order to serve the gods, look at me Be good or not."

"But I haven't used the order to serve the gods."

Lin Shouxi claimed to be a gentleman. At the same time, he was a little afraid that Chu Yingchan would really sue Xiaohe. After all, he always insisted on the purpose: never do anything wrong to Xiaohe.

"If you tie a rope to a bad dog, and the dog is tied to a person, you can only shake your head and beg for mercy, pretending to be kind, and the same is true for people." Chu Yingchan said.

"Why do you consider yourself a bad dog?" Lin Shouxi asked in surprise.

"For example! I'm just making an example."

Chu Yingchan was really annoyed. She explained earnestly that she wanted to prove that she was not as good as he imagined, but was taken advantage of by his words. She was annoyed and ashamed. She felt that she needed to maintain the dignity of the teacher, so she ordered Picking up the black ruler, she tapped Lin Shouxi's head with the wide side. Her voice was terrifying, but when it landed on his head, her hand softened. It was just a light touch, compared to Xiaohe's ear pulling and Mu Shijing's chestnut. , It's like a spring breeze.

Lin Shouxi gently separated the iron ruler, and looked at Chu Yingchan for a while, but Chu Yingchan took the initiative to look away.

After resting for a while, they got up together and continued on their way.

They talked occasionally on the way, and they asked about the history of Mount Shen. Lin Shouxi’s questions were too big, and Chu Yingchan couldn’t answer them very well. She couldn’t help but feel guilty. She only wanted to read more books and become a qualified teacher when she went back.

When they reached a valley, they stopped at the same time.

A forked road appeared before them.

"What's the matter, there is only one road on the map, why are there two?" Lin Shouxi checked the map repeatedly, feeling puzzled.

Chu Yingchan didn't know either. She looked at the road ahead. The two roads were separated by high mountains. The road on the left was desolate and rugged and covered by turbid sand. There are the melodious calls of birds.

"Which way to go?" Chu Yingchan asked.

……

"Is there no problem with his choice? Will it not destroy the plan?"

After Lin Shouxi and Chu Yingchan walked into the valley, outside the valley, two figures quietly emerged, standing on a rock without warning.

The two figures are a young man in a white robe and a young girl in a costume. The young man's face is covered with powder, his face is like white wax, but his lips are red and his teeth are white, his starry eyes and sword eyebrows are handsome. The young girl is wearing a patchwork colorful robe. , with a string of masks of different colors hanging around her waist, she wore heavy makeup. Although the makeup couldn't hide her beauty, it also created a weird beauty.

They have been waiting here for a long time, just waiting for the arrival of Lin Shouxi and Chu Yingchan.

"There is a choice in the world, and you think you have made the choice."

The girl in costume jumped down from the stone. She shook the colorful flags on her back, cleared her throat, and spoke slowly, her steps were graceful, and her voice was melodious.

"Don't worry, go and report to your employer. The next girl Lu has been arranged, and there will be no mistakes... Besides, when have I made a mistake in these years? I am very worried. Oh hard work."

The girl smiled, her head was tilted cutely, but it was tilted into an angle that humans can't do at all, her smile continued, her lips and the corners of her eyes seemed to be reddened by this smile, she looked towards the valley , quietly said:
"The well-prepared show is about to start."
