I will bury the gods

Chapter 147
Luo Chu'e twitched her fingers and turned around, and the white-clothed fairy who was slightly lifted landed on her heels. She hummed softly, and she didn't feel much discomfort in her body, but she felt a little warmth when she touched the red mark between her eyebrows.

Lin Shouxi's bet was just to delay time, but he never expected that Luo Chu'e would make such a decision.

"No!" Lin Shouxi said immediately.

He has been good at counting since he was a child. When other children were still counting with their fingers, he had already mastered the method of using the abacus.

30 days... Lin Shouxi knows without careful calculation that as long as Chu Yingchan has a little desire, no matter how small the desire is, it will expand into an unimaginable behemoth after 30 days.

No... In less than 30 days, or even half a month, Chu Yingchan would be swallowed by the fissioned desire in this red seal, and lose all reason!
As long as the expansion of desire cannot be stopped, this is a bet that cannot be won. If Chu Yingchan insists on insisting, it is very likely that she will end up completely destroyed.

"It's never up to you."

Luo Chu'e walked towards the throne with a smile, her black hair fluttering with a ghostly breath, and her long skirt curled around the floor, "The bet has been made and cannot be reversed. Don't think that I am bullying you. I am willing to bet with you." It’s just the kindness of this seat, remember, you are outsiders who do not belong here, and I don’t need to follow any rules when treating you.”

Luo Chu'e sat back on the throne, with her legs crossed, and the fallen goddess looked down at them, and said calmly, "Don't look at me with such eyes, it's not a virtue to repay kindness and revenge... Hey, okay, bet The appointment has begun, and if she dies because of her weak will, it is also your responsibility, after all, this agreement was proposed by you."

Looking at the pair of master and apprentice, Luo Chu'e giggled as if remembering something extremely happy. She hadn't been this happy for a long time, as if someone who saw the sea for the first time picked up the first shell.

"This seal is formed by the Dao Law of the Immortal Kingdom. Only I can lay it down, and only I can undo it. You can surrender to me at any time and beg for mercy. The key to surrender is on you, let it be stained with forbidden blood...Of course Whether I will forgive you or not depends on my mood that day." Luo Chu'e was too lazy to say anything, she flicked her sleeves and gently covered her thighs.

She talked to herself, as if a little girl had thought of a wonderful inspiration and couldn't wait to share it with others. She didn't need to listen to anyone's opinion. She was the queen here, and she could make as much sand as she wanted .

"Okay, in the next month, you will be under house arrest. You don't need to worry too much about food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. It's reward to show me your master-apprentice drama."

Luo Chu'e pointed her fingertips.

The ring on the ring finger is inlaid with a little golden fire, and the flame emits bright light according to her thoughts, and the space is swept by the light, shaking out layers of ripples.

After Lin Shouxi and Chu Yingchan disappeared, the pride and coquettishness on Luo Chu'e's face were also washed away by the cold firelight of the palace, and she became indifferent and blurred. Like fishes attracted by bait, they flew around her fingertips like clusters of butterflies.

"Did I smell it wrong? Why did I perceive... the smell of other women?" Luo Chu'e frivolously played with the ancient characters, frowned, and said to herself.

……

The Undead City is surrounded by a whole circle of black walls, with Luo Chu'e's palace as the boundary. In front of it is the residence of souls, and behind it is the Jedi of Purgatory that we saw earlier. Except for the palace, it is difficult to see normal people here. The same is true for the houses of Lin Shouxi and Chu Yingchan under house arrest.

Its structure is similar to that of a waterwheel, but it is much larger than ordinary waterwheels.It rotates slowly and at a constant speed, and it takes exactly twelve hours for each rotation. This world is isolated from the world, without the sun, moon, and stars, but time is unified with the outside world.

The interior space of this huge waterwheel building is spacious, and it is a place for people to live in. The residences are divided into 12 yuan, which are adjacent to each other, and eleven of them are used to detain repeat offenders.

Lin Shouxi and Chu Yingchan were locked in the only vacant room.

This watermill cell is located in the middle of a ring of high-rise buildings. At its door stands a very dull-looking man. There is a thin line in this man's mind, and a bell is tied to the thin line. He stands at the door like a butler. When someone walks by, his mind is disturbed, and the bell tied inside will make a sound.

The butler didn't move at all. There was a red circle under his feet, which was the proof of the ground binding. There are hundreds of circles like this, and they are changing directions all the time. tied up.In addition, there is a guard standing on the surrounding ring-shaped black building. He is holding a knife in his arms. This is not so much a knife as it is a knife style, which has been practiced to the extreme!There are nine more people like him, they are lurking in the dark, staring at the waterwheel building, while many kite-like birds are flying in the sky above them.

Everything outside the waterwheel prison was locked up, no one could leave or enter.

This is Luo Chu'e's house arrest for them.

Lin Shouxi watched all this from the window, every corner he looked at seemed to be stared at, leaving no gaps, and Chu Yingchan was sitting opposite him.

The fairy in white was sitting quietly, with the black ruler lying across the table, and her hands neatly placed on her lap. She also looked out the window, silently.

The bet has already begun, and the gears of time keep turning, and there is not much left for them.

"Are you okay?" Lin Shouxi looked back from the window.

"I don't feel anything yet." Chu Yingchan rubbed the center of her brows with her fingers and said.

Except for an extra brow mark, this fairy is no different from usual, she is as cold as ice, as Ningruo Qiuhu, as if she was born a fairy.It's just that this peaceful and flawless temperament is just a whitewash for peace, and they all know in their hearts that within a few days, she will be captured by the red seal.

The growth of that kind of fear is extremely terrifying just by showing it in numbers, and it is definitely not something that human spiritual will can overcome.

"Do you have any ideas?" Chu Yingchan asked.

"Well, there are only a few ways..." Lin Shouxi began to analyze with her one by one:

"Desires are multiplied. If you don't have any sexual desires for children, then doubling them is meaningless."

"This is impossible." Chu Yingchan shook her head.

As long as you are a person, you must have desires. This desire has nothing to do with depth. After 30 days, it will become meaningless and huge.

"Doesn't Taoism have a mantra that can completely suppress desires?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"Yes, but the Taoist sect does not cultivate the ruthless way of relentless mind and nature. The so-called pure heart and tranquil mind is like meditation. It just makes people forget other things temporarily, and it will not change anything." Chu Yingchan explained.

"What about breaking the curse?" Lin Shouxi continued to ask: "The seal of Slaanesh is a curse seal. Is there a way to break it?"

After the red seal was planted between the eyebrows, Chu Yingchan was looking for a way to break it. At this time when Lin Shouxi asked, she just shook her head slightly and said, "I tried to untie it, but it seems like a tight ball. The wires are so tightly entangled that I can't find the end and the end of the rope, I can't find a solution, I can't even shake it."

"Is it like God's Order?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"Hmm..." Chu Yingchan pondered for a while, but nodded.

She also tried countless times to unlock the God's Attendance Order in her body, but it was like twisting the lock with a grass stalk, in vain in front of the impregnable seal.

The two looked at each other, and both had the same thought - to fight poison with fire.

The Order of God's Attendance is a divine seal created by the Guardian God, and the Curse of Slaanesh is a magical technique created by Luo Chu'e. They appeared on Chu Yingchan's body at the same time. It is unknown who has more control over her body.

The two tried it out.

Lin Shouxi and Chu Yingchan soon discovered that what the Divine Attendant Order can control is mainly Chu Yingchan's body. It can make her body bend down, but it can't make her willing, but the Curse of Slaanesh is different. surgery.

They seem to be the same as the river.

Before betting against Luo Chu'e, Lin Shouxi expected that she would have troubles, but the God's order is the biggest secret and trump card between him and Chu Yingchan, if it loses its effectiveness, it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to them.

"Don't be disappointed, at least before your consciousness is swallowed up, I can use God's order to make you fall into a real coma. A heart without consciousness is a real fortress. Even Slaanesh may not be able to break through." Lin Shouxi thought Flying around, thinking about countermeasures.

This method may be effective, but even if it is effective, it is only a temporary thirst quencher. Once Chu Yingchan regains consciousness a little, she will still be backlashed by the spell.

As long as Luo Chu'e's statement is correct, this kind of spell is a demon that eats people without spitting out bones. Compared with it, swallowing the elixir refined by Lin Shouxi is like keeping in good health.

"Well, if it's time to retreat, it's up to you to decide." Chu Yingchan said.

Listening to her firm and gentle words, Lin Shouxi felt a little uncomfortable. He said, "If I didn't want to make extra troubles in the showgirl's theater, we wouldn't have strayed into this place at all."

"Why do you need to say this... As you said, we are just the pawns of the people behind the scenes. Just like in the Wu family, no matter what happens in the middle, we will end up in the realm of the gods. This is not something we can change. Yes." Chu Yingchan comforted softly.

"Can God really determine a certain future?" Lin Shouxi asked.

In his cognition, the future should be an inevitable and uncertain surface, not a specific point.

"I don't know, but... the head teacher of Yunkong Mountain is trying this." Chu Yingchan said.

"How to try?"

"The head teacher imagined a self—a self that is so strong that it is invincible and perfect that it cannot be matched. He solidified this self in the future. Therefore, cultivation is no longer a story of the past self growing and becoming stronger. , but a definite future is constantly emerging to his body. The head teacher has eliminated all interference, retreated into the Qingliang Mansion, and has not eaten, drank or slept for 30 years, but it is said that during this period, his realm has been rising... In other words, he is arriving at the future that he has determined and imagined." Chu Yingchan talked about a big secret of Yunkong Mountain.

"It's really amazing." Lin Shouxi was startled, and it took a while for him to come back to his senses.

Hearing this story for the first time, Lin Shouxi felt miraculous, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt chills down his spine. If the future can really be determined by the mighty power of God, then what kind of hopeless world should a cultivator live in?
"Don't be afraid, there is no cage that cannot be broken in this world, even if it is as strong as Luo Chu'e, it is still afraid of this ordinary black ruler, isn't it?" Chu Yingchan saw the look of disappointment on his face, Slightly smiled and said.

"Ah."

Lin Shouxi nodded, and he closed his eyes, recalling the details of getting along with Luo Chu'e.

Luo Chu'e is the master of this undead country. Whether it is the gray mist monster outside the city wall or all the souls inside the city wall, she seems to be in the palm of her hand. Their attacks seem to have touched a certain law The wall has no effect on Luo Chu'e, except when facing the black ruler and Luo Shu in his body, this fallen goddess is almost perfect.

This Luo Chu'e is like the manifestation of the Heavenly Way in the Immortal City. She is the queen of a country here, but she must abide by her own rules. Even for the native assassins, she has a tolerant side.

If the black ruler represents rules that do not belong here, then what does Luo Shu represent?

Doesn't it belong to the mind of this world?
Hmm...it shouldn't be that simple.

Lin Shouxi was running Luoshu's mental method, which helped him breathe out the true energy around him. On the surface, it was calm, like a river flowing slowly through his body, and he couldn't see anything unusual.

It was this ordinary mentality that made him miraculously stand up under Luo Chu'e's coercion.

"I really didn't expect that the god son who was once hailed as the saint of the god wall and the iron sword in the ancient books would be reduced to this dark place and become such a witch." Chu Yingchan sighed softly, and the words revealed Disappointed and puzzled.

"The Holy Maiden of the Wall of God and the Iron Sword?"

"Um……"

Chu Yingchan probably told him some stories about Luo Chu'e. In the only remaining stories about her, she was so holy and beautiful, like the light itself. Then... what happened?

"Shi Yirao possesses the pure blood of a true immortal. She is very similar to Luo Chu'e, and she is her descendant. My mother also said that as the head of the seven goddesses of the Holy Land Temple, she is the most likely to become the head of the temple. The next saint." Chu Yingchan said everything she knew, feeling more and more strange and mysterious about fate.

Of course, it doesn't make sense to say this now, they have to think of a way to win the bet.

Lin Shouxi and Chu Yingchan discussed again and considered several strategies, but they were rejected one by one.

Gradually, they stopped talking, because they all had a clear understanding in their hearts - the best way to win the bet was to defeat Luo Chu'e before Chu Yingchan could no longer control the curse seal.

This is the easiest way and the hardest way, maybe even the only way.

Sitting opposite each other like this, looking at the familiar faces, they all felt a little unreal from the silence and quietness.

"If there is really no other way, I will choose to try my best to save your life. I hope Fairy Chu understands." Lin Shouxi was silent for a long time, his face as serious as iron.

"En." Chu Yingchan bowed her head and answered, she did not look at Lin Shouxi, and said softly: "If you lose your composure then, please... forgive me."

There is no ambiguity in their words, only solemnity and guilt.

After the two of them finished speaking, they didn't make a sound, and the silence in the room seemed to freeze.

Suddenly, the red mark between Chu Yingchan's eyebrows flickered.

Luo Chu'e made a betting agreement and rules, and if they violated the rules, the red seal would flash to warn them.

Lin Shouxi and Chu Yingchan soon realized that their identities should be masters and apprentices, but their conversations and wording were quite different from this identity.

"Disciple, you have practiced Taoism for more than ten years, but you have been stuck in the Xuanzi Realm, and you haven't taken half a step forward. You are very talented, but you don't want to make progress, but...you know your mistake?" Chu Yingchan's voice was sharp and sharp, Cold as a sword.

"Yes, disciple knows his mistake." Lin Shouxi said respectfully.

A clear voice sounded in the room, Chu Yingchan took up the ruler and hit Lin Shouxi's palm a few times, showing his prestige.

The red seal no longer flashes.

They breathed a sigh of relief, but felt even more tired... In addition to trying every means to defeat Luo Chu'e, they actually had to spend all their time trying to pretend to be a master and apprentice, so as to perfunctory the red seal.

Just as the curse seal stopped flashing, there was a knock on the door.

dong dong dong...

There are a total of twelve rooms in this waterwheel-like giant building, and the knock on the door came from a neighbor.

"Disciple, go and have a look." Lin Shouxi frowned slightly and stood up.

There are thick and huge black wooden boards between the rooms. The boards are shaped like iron sheets and are extremely hard. Lin Shouxi opened an iron window, and through a layer of narrow iron railings, he vaguely saw the room next door.

"La la la la - hello, new neighbor."

In the next room, the girl's lively voice suddenly sounded, "Look here, look here! Below!"

Lin Shouxi lowered his head following the sound, and saw a very small girl.

She looked to be about the same size as Bai Zhu, with a slender body, but she had lost her childishness, with a sense of youth unique to a girl. In order to let Lin Shouxi see more clearly, she took the initiative to step back for a certain distance.

"Hmm... hello." Lin Shouxi replied bluntly.

"New friends, the house you live in is not very auspicious. I have lived here for almost 200 years. I am unshakable, but the neighbors are like rabbits. It has been 32 so far. I hope you can stay longer. "

"Accept your good words." Lin Shouxi didn't expect this little guy to be over 200 years old.

"I heard you came from outside?" the little girl asked mysteriously.

"Who did you hear?"

"It doesn't matter who you listen to... Well, that is to say, you have passed through the land of candle smoke, how are you doing? Did you see anything interesting?" The little girl asked excitedly.

"A realm of candle smoke?" Lin Shouxi looked puzzled.

"That's right, it's the place shrouded in gray fog. Didn't you all come from the Temple of the Black Emperor?" The little girl blinked.

"Yes."

"That's right." The little girl clapped her hands and said, "Tell me quickly, what happened to you."

After Lin Shouxi hesitated, he gave a rough description of what he saw and heard.

"Oh, it turns out that what you blew out was the candle of fear..." The little girl was thoughtful.

"Candle of Fear?"

"Well, the seven candles in the Temple of the Black Emperor symbolize the seven emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, love, evil, and desire. Blow out the corresponding candles, and the corresponding scene will appear in the gray fog. What you blow out is fear, what you see It should be something terrifying..." The little girl spoke plausibly, obviously understanding this very well.

Lin Shouxi suddenly realized.

From the heart, the scene outside the Temple of the Black Emperor was manifested by the candle of the Seven Emotions. At that time, the actress was blowing the candle, so those scenes should be the result of the fear in the actress' heart... No wonder she also thought She didn't want to say that it is natural for people to be afraid of giants, and it seems that she has had a corresponding experience.

Generally speaking, if you fall into fear, you will become more fearful, and then you will be swallowed by gray fog in a vicious circle.

Fortunately, it was not alone who broke into the gray mist, and his golden pupil happened to break the deadlock.

"You know this place well?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"Of course." The little girl patted her forehead and said, "I'm a big celebrity here, you can ask me for anything you don't understand."

"Why did you help me?" Lin Shouxi was a little wary.

"Because we have a common enemy." The little girl smiled like a flower, but she didn't explain too much, she just said: "Come on, let me introduce you to the inmates in this building who have great powers."
