Chapter 154

The dim red light of the lantern hit the man in black, illuminating his livid face. He made a sound, but his lips did not move, as if the lantern was speaking.

His words were short, and his dull voice was full of vicissitudes, like a gray-haired old man playing a piano older than him.

Lin Shouxi was frozen in the darkness of the corridor, his body stiffened. He was careful enough, but he still didn't feel any aura. Either the opponent's realm was much higher than him, or the opponent was not human at all.

The heart that stopped for half a beat expanded and beat in the chest cavity again, and the blood was supplied to the body. In an instant, his body tensed up like a leopard about to hunt, ready to meet the enemy.

But he also knew that the moment he was seen, it might be too late.

The huge building can be seen behind Hei Ying, and the room that belongs to him has almost turned to Mao Shi, the night is about to pass, and his efforts are about to come to naught.

Lin Shouxi exhaled slowly, and pressed the hand in his sleeve on Zhan Gong hidden in the black cloak without leaving any traces. The solid killing intent had gathered in the sheath, and it would burst out like a thunder dragon when it was unsheathed. roar.

Sombra moved first.

He walked down from between the two lanterns, raised his right hand while walking, but instead of drawing a knife, he lifted a tongueless silver bell, which he handed to Lin Shouxi.

Lin Shouxi didn't know why, but he took it over without making a fuss.

Then, the shadow man did not launch any attack, but walked backwards and disappeared into the corridor.

Lin Shouxi stared at the silver bell in his hand, only to see the word 'soul' engraved on it.Soon, he understood Sombra's intentions.

After a while, the slight footsteps that disappeared before sounded again behind him.

"Why are you here?"

A questioning voice came from behind, and the voice was also monotonous and boring.

Lin Shouxi turned his head to the side, and saw that there was also a man in black standing behind him, his attire was exactly the same as that of just now.He spread his hands towards Lin Shouxi.

Lin Shouxi's face was cold, and imitating the man in black before, he put Hun Lingping in his hands, turned and left.

"you have not answer my question yet."

In the darkness, as the shadows passed by, the voice of the man in black sounded dryly again.

Lin Shouxi stopped, and said in the same hoarse and dry voice, "There are mice hiding here."

After finishing speaking, he disappeared into the darkness at a leisurely pace.

The man in black watched him leave without making any further movements.

Although the road ahead was tortuous, there were no accidents. Lin Shouxi walked in the direction to the right, and finally walked out of this intricate maze of giant buildings.

After leaving the giant building, when the cold wind from outside poured into his cloak, he still had an unreal feeling, and his tense body was still trembling slightly.

The one who stood under the lantern earlier was a real killer, but Lin Shouxi came by coincidence, just in time for their handover, the man in black mistakenly thought that he was here to hand over the work, and handed the bell to him, and the real handover later When the worker came, he thought he was the killer who had stood on guard all night, and took over the bell. He became the bearer of the soul bell, but he miraculously left the giant building by virtue of this opportunity.

This was too much of a coincidence, Lin Shouxi even felt that this was Luo Chu'e deliberately arranging a play to tease her. Could it be that Luo Chu'e wanted him to escape from prison in order to lure that Mr. Gong?

These speculations are meaningless, even if he is really caught in a chess game, he still has to complete his plan step by step.

After leaving the giant building, Lin Shouxi kept walking, wrapped in a black cloak, turned to the right, and walked into the dark and narrow long street.

"Only by becoming a member of the Immortal Nation can you accommodate yourself into the rules. In this case, if Luo Chu'e wants to break the contract again, she will definitely be backlashed by the Immortal Nation's rules, so no matter what, you must first obtain the approval of this Nation , otherwise even if you win the bet, it will be useless, Luo Chu'e can still play with you at will."

Zhuo He's exhortation in the building rang in his ears again.

"How do you become an immortal countryman?"

"It's very simple, look at this... This is a soul card. Every subject of the Immortal Kingdom has a soul card. The name of the master is engraved on the soul card. When the master dies, the name on the soul card will disappear. You want What to do is to grab two soul cards that are strong enough, kill the owner of the soul card, and engrave your name... on it."

Zhuo He took out his soul card and waved it in front of Lin Shouxi. Lin Shouxi clearly remembered that it was an oval plate made of iron, and the characters on it were like ghost paintings.

"By the way, we have already selected the people to kill for you. They are two vicious ghosts. They are the executioners under Luo Chu'e. Their crimes are heinous and their soul cards are very strong. They all live in the ghosts west of the Undead City. Lin Li, how to find them specifically, um... listen to me slowly."

At the intersection of the street, Lin Shouxi stopped. He recalled what Zhuo He said, and then walked towards the west without stopping.

He went to kill.

……

same day.

After Lu Yushen visited the Immortal Tower, Mu Shijing went down the mountain non-stop. If she relied on herself, it would take at least seven days to reach the Yaosha Tower, but she borrowed Bai Zhu's cloud conch.

Bai Zhu originally wanted to take this opportunity to sign a friendship contract with her as a teacher and sister, so that Sister Mu would promise not to bully her before lending Yunluo out, but when Bai Zhu heard that something might happen to the Yaosha Tower, the kind Bai Zhu also agreed. Regardless of the contract, he quickly taught her how to use Yunluo, and only told her to bring Yunluo back.

The full name of Yunluo is Desolate Ancient Cloud Swallowing Demon. Thousands of years ago, Yunkong Mountain was cloudless, and there was no rain for a long time. The mountains and rivers were dry, and the vegetation withered, so Yunkong Mountain got its name.Later, the first head teacher and the first head entered the deep mansion in the mountains, met a cloud-swallowing demon, and finally killed him after seven days of fierce fighting. The cloud spewed out from the corpse of the demon, and it did not stop for three years. After the cloud was exhausted, All the people discovered that it was actually a magic conch, and the immortals teamed up to refine its corpse and made it into today's cloud conch magic weapon.

This powerful demon that once occupied the sacred mountain has now been refined into a precious flying weapon. The cloud conch traveled eastward, leaving a long and thin line of clouds in the sky as it passed.

On the way to Yaosha Tower, the words Lu Yushen said still echoed in her heart.

"Who the hell am I? My name is Lu Yushen. I originally wanted to name it Yushen, but my mentor didn't like this name, so I changed it to Yu. You may not believe it, but a hundred years ago, My mentor predicted your arrival, and she also gave me a task, which is to take you or Lin Shouxi as an apprentice, but it's a pity that I'm so ignorant that I can't get into your eyes."

Lu Yushen smiled self-deprecatingly, and his words were light and calm, but they stirred up huge waves in Mu Shijing's heart.

The arrival of her and Lin Shouxi was predicted a hundred years ago?How is this possible?Even the master can't do it... Could it be that the mysterious mentor has the spiritual root of foresight, or that the person behind Lu Yushen is a god at all!
Of course, there is also a possibility that Lu Yushen was lying to her at all. She just wanted to make up a reason for her embarrassment by forcibly accepting her apprentice that day. After all, the mentor she mentioned was extremely vague, without a name, without an image, more like what she imagined. from.

But no matter what, Lu Yushen gave her a few genuine magic weapons.

The first is a windbreaker. The windbreaker is not a dress, but a shapeless wind. It is so thin that it can be hidden in the palm of your hand. After crushing, the wind will wrap her body like a dress, allowing her to achieve a short-term levitation.

The second one is the well gate, which is a magic weapon in the shape of a seal, with a "well" pattern chiseled on it, pressing it on the mountain will temporarily open a road for her to pass through the thick mountain wall .

The third piece is the empty ring, which is a storage ring. It is said that there are countless priceless treasures hidden in the ring, but Lu Yushen told her not to open it for now, and then activate it when she is desperate, otherwise there will be Bad things happen.

Although Mu Shijing had never heard of these three artifacts, but judging from their appearance, they were extremely impressive, and Lu Yushen really gave them to her so generously.

She wanted to thank Lu Yushen, but Lu Yushen only said that all this was arranged by her mentor.

"Did your mentor arrange anything else?" Mu Shijing asked.

"The teacher said, it is up to the sky to plan things, and it is up to people to make things happen. Even if it is a god, the game set up is by no means a chessboard, but a thin iron wire. The chosen person walks on the steel wire. into the abyss, but they themselves don't know it." Lu Yushen said.

"Have I walked on the iron wire of fate?" Mu Shijing asked again.

"It's up to God to plan things, and only God knows. In short, you need to go all out, and any chance of luck may destroy you forever." Lu Yushen warned.

Mu Shijing nodded seriously, she had a much better impression of this female fairy teacher in a golden crown and white robe.

After Lu Yushen finished his instructions, he did not leave immediately, but did not give up and said: "If it is possible, I still hope that Miss Mu will think about it and join my sect. Although my realm is far behind the landlord, I am better at it. Teach people."

"No." Mu Shijing refused again.

"Why?" Lu Yushen was very curious, what kind of charm beyond the realm did the host have.

"I'm afraid that I have worshiped you as my teacher. I don't care if I will be beaten by the master together with you. Master Lu Xian has high morals, so I'm afraid I can't afford to lose this person." Mu Shijing said with a smile.

"Why don't you..." Lu Yushen's indifferent expression quickly darkened, "Who told you?"

"What do you think?" Mu Shijing asked back, she thought to herself that Fairy Lu is really both good and bad, smart and stupid, how else could she know about this except for Master telling her?

Lu Yushen thought, at that time, only her three new apprentices were the only ones who heard the sound. She thought that the disciples must have betrayed the master and revealed their secrets, and she was going back to punish them.

The two parted ways in the snow.

Mu Shijing put away the three magic weapons, and flew through the sky on the snail.

Yunluo's speed did not disappoint. Today, two days later, she left the bustling holy mountain and came to the wilderness. There is still a day's journey away from the Yaosha tower, but in this dirty wasteland, she has already felt Endless rotten evil spirit.

She asked Yunluo to absorb the nearby clouds, and then chose a dilapidated old ruin with broken walls to rest for a while. While meditating and adjusting her breath, she heard rumbling noises coming from outside.

Leaping up the ancient pagoda and looking forward, Mu Shijing was taken aback. What was rolling in front of him was a group of monster beasts.

The death certificate was unsheathed, Mu Shijing put his toes on the top of the tower, and immediately assumed a posture to meet the enemy.

But the monster beasts didn't see her at all. They ran around in a panic, as if they were escaping from something.

Mu Shijing had an ominous premonition.

These monsters are nothing more than remnant soldiers and defeated generals, worse than those in Baixueling, the devil's lair. Mu Shijing spotted the monster holding the remnant flag, and his figure flew down, stepped on the head of the beast under it, and grabbed the monster He picked up the broken armor and swung it to the ground.

The monster fell into the mud, the flag was broken, and it didn't know what was being attacked, and it was frightened and only begged for mercy.

"Answer me a few questions."

Mu Shijing said coldly, she picked up the flag, unfolded it, and saw the word 'fate' written on it.

The monster crawled up and down, seeing a fairy in white clothes, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Fairy, spare my life, Fairy, spare my life..."

Mu Shijing frowned slightly when she heard the noisy begging for mercy. She was holding a death certificate and wanted to force a confession directly, but she saw a monster rolling and crawling down the back of the beast beside her. This monster seemed to have read a book. Articulation is much clearer.

"Is the fairy from the sacred mountain?" the monster asked eagerly.

Mu Shijing hummed.

"That's great... As expected of the sacred mountain, the little ones have not rushed to the sacred mountain to report, the immortal master already knew about the changes in the Yaosha tower, and came ahead of time." The monster was overjoyed.

"The change in the demon tower?" Mu Shijing was taken aback.

"Yes... There was a big change in the Yaosha Pagoda, the little ones escaped by chance, and wanted to risk their lives to report the matter to Shenshan, so as to drive away the tigers and wolves." The monster said incoherently.

Mu Shijing didn't bother to worry about its wording, she quickly asked: "What happened, tell me quickly."

"There is a catastrophe in the demon tower. The black and purple evil star rises in the veins of the earth, hides the sun and the moon, and covers the sky. The destiny will be destroyed..."

"Speak human!" Mu Shijing interrupted coldly.

She was annoyed in her heart, thinking that these days, both Master and Lu Yushen were talking to her incomprehensible mysterious words one by one, which made her confused, so let them forget it. The little monster also said this enigmatic words.

"Yes Yes Yes……"

The monster immediately recapitulated in concise words, "The tower of demons we once believed in turned out not to be a mountain, but the stump of the devil! The stump of the demon awakened, and its black and purple eyes rose like stars, covering the earth, replacing The original sun, moon and stars have been lost, and the demon kings and generals in the Yaosha Tower were all polluted by demons, lost consciousness, and became marionettes. Once the destiny of the Yaosha Tower is also swallowed, the monsters will wake up completely!"

Mu Shijing's heart trembled wildly.

She guessed that something might have happened to the Yaosha Tower, but she didn't expect it to be such a major event!

That Xiaohe...

Yes, destiny, she heard from Chu Yingchan that Xiaohe is the destiny of Yaosha Pagoda.

"What does it mean that the destiny is about to be swallowed? Where is the destiny you are talking about? Is she okay?" Mu Shijing asked quickly.

"Destiny... Destiny is Your Highness. She was injured and hid. However, although the Yaosha Tower is big, it is already the territory of demons. Even if His Highness is powerful, I am afraid it will be difficult to hide for too long. If Your Highness she..." The little demon's voice trembled, and he didn't dare to speak any more.

Wu Youhe is regarded as the princess of the Yaosha Pagoda. She is a human being, but after inheriting the inheritance of the 'White Phoenix', she accidentally bears the fate of all the demons. It is the destiny that the high priest said.If she dies, the entire Yaozu may enter a path of eternal doom.

The devil wakes up...

Mu Shijing's heart sank, she didn't need to think about it, she knew how terrifying this kind of thing that had lived for so many years was.

Is Xiaohe alone now, or with Lin Shouxi?
It's useless to think too much, the Shenshou Mountain closest to here has to fly non-stop all day long, and it's obviously too late to rely on the power of the Shenshou Mountain, so she can only go to the Yaosha Tower to find out in person.

"Is there anything else you want to say?" Mu Shijing asked.

The little demon thought for a while, and began to chatter about how terrifying the demon was. When it finished speaking and raised its head, the fairy in the white skirt of Shenshan had long since disappeared. When it looked up, it only saw a faint, straight Cloud trail leading to the Demon Tower.

……

The ghost forest is said to be a forest, but it is actually a patch of jagged tower buildings. This is the place of pleasure in the undead kingdom, and the undead spirits like to come here to fool around.

Although this place is not as prosperous as the world, there are all kinds of buildings. In the honeycomb-like buildings, there are many succubi poking their heads out, holding silk silk and waving at him with soft voices. There is no sky here, and their skins are also strangely white.

Lin Shouxi covered his face with a cloth, only two holes were carved out, his footsteps looked chic and casual, like a person who went to get drunk.

There are countless souls in the Immortal Kingdom dressed in strange clothes, so his attire did not attract anyone's attention.

He came to the central building, which was made up of countless suspended wooden buildings. It looked like a stick insect. It is said that Luo Chu'e personally supervised the construction. He just heard from passers-by that the design of this tower The original intention is the head dragon...

Lin Shouxi walked into this building that looked like a dragon but not a dragon, like a bug but not a bug.

The first floor is the casino, which is full of gamblers, and the second floor is where treasures are bought and sold. Only when you win enough chips on the first floor, can you have a chance to go to the second floor... The person he wants to kill is on the second floor. building.

Zhuo He had already told him the rules of the casino, and repeatedly told him not to use Qianshu.

Lin Shouxi didn't know a thousand tricks. He used to rely on calculations when playing chess with others. His calculation power was so strong that people suspected that he was cheating, which almost attracted the boss of the casino.

The gambling process went smoothly. It only took Lin Shouxi half an hour to get the qualification to go to the second floor, but soon, unexpected problems came.

"Please take off your mask."

The soul guarding the corridor said with a smile.

"Take off the mask?" Lin Shouxi said in a hoarse voice, "Why don't I remember this rule here?"

"Well, it didn't exist in the past, but today it does, because there are distinguished guests in the building today."

"VIP?"

"Well, I heard that it is a brand-new real immortal soul who has only recently arrived in the Immortal Kingdom. His soul has not suffered from the samsara of purgatory and is pure and beautiful. It is said that he has been selected by His Majesty the Goddess and must be carefully cultivated." The soul said with a smile.

"I see."

Lin Shouxi nodded, but still didn't intend to show his true colors.

"Please trouble the guest to take off the mask... In the past, it didn't matter if something happened in the building. If something big happened today, His Majesty the Goddess will punish us, and we will suffer from that purgatory again." Soul said: "Please forgive me."

"I will understand."

Lin Shouxi didn't understand the method of disguise, but he immediately had an idea, he paused, and said, "Why don't you guess first, who I am."

"guest……"

This stumped him, he thought for a while, and said: "There are too many distinguished guests in the building, and the voices of the guests are a little strange. I really can't remember which distinguished guest it is..."

Just as he was thinking tremblingly, for fear of offending others, Lin Shouxi took off his mask suddenly.

Soul immediately showed a look of shock, he wanted to speak, but saw Lin Shouxi made a silent gesture, Soul seemed to understand something, nodded frequently, and got out of the way.

The people queuing at the back didn't know what happened, but they saw the black-clothed boy in front with his back turned to them, walking upstairs with a surprised and respectful look on his soul.

Soon, Soul's surprise turned into complacency, he thought to himself, so this is the new young master, he is indeed more beautiful than the legends, he came here in low clothes today, he must be low-key by nature, he doesn't want to disturb others.

Fortunately, I was clever and did not offend this future noble son.

But soon after, Soul was dumbfounded, because the real son came.

When he came, many ghosts floated behind, making a commotion, surrounded by the young man in white clothes, his jade-like face was indifferent.

Since this is the young master, who was the one who just went up?

Soul wanted to report this matter to the past, but there were too many people, his low status, how could he squeeze into the wall, after a while of pushing and shouting, the young man in white had already gone up to the second floor.

Lin Shouxi didn't care about any distinguished guests, he just wanted to kill people.

The person he wanted to kill was a pair of brothers. The elder brother was a butcher, and the younger brother was a cook. Their knife skills were very good, and they were trained when they slaughtered people for Luo Chu'e.

Lin Shouxi swayed on the second floor for a while, taking advantage of the commotion from the young master, sneaked behind the curtain and disappeared into the shadows.

Because of the young master's arrival, Lin Shouxi's murder went much smoother than expected.

The cook is cooking in the back, and the ingredients are unique food in the underworld. It is said that after eating, it can make the soul more condensed. When Lin Shouxi was standing at the door, he heard the cook's complaints inside.

He complained that his elder brother could go to drink with the young master, and his martial arts were not inferior to his elder brother, but he wanted to cook in this dark place.

He couldn't wait to finish frying the dishes, let the hunchbacked boy take them, and then he was going to go upstairs to drink with them and see the honor of the nobleman.

He was so distracted by his desire to see the noble young master that when the murderous aura surged behind him, he didn't realize that this chef who killed people like fresh food was very capable, but he didn't expect it to happen. The sword from the back pierced through the neck with a blow, killing him instantly.

He found the cook's soul card, and the disappearing name on it proved that he was completely dead. Such a corpse would be thrown back into the purgatory blood pool to become nourishment, and he would be resurrected again by chance.

Lin Shouxi didn't expect that the process of killing would be so smooth. Of course, this was also due to the young master, otherwise the cook would never have been so careless.

The cook's force was not enough in front of him, but he was afraid that if he failed to kill the enemy with one move, he would make a noise and cause trouble.

Lin Shouxi got the jade card and immediately wrote his name.

He wrote the word 'Lin', and then stopped. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he didn't write 'Shou', but followed the strokes, making up 'Lin' into 'Chu' .

Chu, Ying, Chan...

Lin Shouxi finished writing stroke by stroke, and only put it away after confirming that there was no mistake in any word.

He hid in the room and waited quietly for his brother to come back from drinking.

The butcher never returned.

After Lin Shouxi finished writing Chu Yingchan's name, he became surprisingly patient. He didn't act rashly, but quietly hid in the darkness that was hard to detect with the naked eye, quietly waiting for the start of the hunt.

The corpse with its neck cut off lay beside him, and he turned a blind eye to the horrific death.

Time passed slowly.

Lin Shouxi, who was listening intently, could hear the noise and commotion outside gradually fading away.

The banquet seemed to be over, he heard footsteps coming downstairs, and then someone came.

The footsteps were heavy and disorderly, and it was the butcher, who was walking towards here while asking himself where his brother had gone and why he didn't see him at the banquet.

From the sound of footsteps, it could be heard that the butcher was very drunk. This was a good timing, as long as his hand was steady enough, he would definitely be killed.

The accident happened again.

The butcher's footsteps stopped—someone stopped him.

A warm voice sounded outside.

"Is today's dish made by your younger brother? I didn't expect to be able to eat such delicacies here. It's a rare blessing. Why didn't my younger brother honor me at the banquet?"

"Master...why are you here? My younger brother is usually a rough guy. I don't know if he stumbled or lost his way. He didn't even give you face. When I see him later, I will definitely criticize him severely for you. He, I hope you will forgive me."

The butcher said in trepidation, and was about to quicken his pace and walk towards the back kitchen.

But the son stopped him again.

"and many more."

"What else do you want, sir?"

"I... really want to smell the murderous aura. It's very faint and beautiful, like plum blossoms falling on the snow."

The young master's tone was intoxicated, while he was talking, he walked towards the back kitchen and said: "You wait for me here, this young master will go and look for you."

The butcher wanted to say a few words of politeness, but the young master had already walked there slowly.

The smell of blood became stronger and stronger, and the smile on the son's face became stronger and stronger:
"Hmm... As expected of the No. 1 floor of the Forest of Ghosts, there are indeed monsters hiding there. It's interesting."

The butcher was confused, and he watched helplessly as the son opened the curtain and walked in.

Lin Shouxi, who was hiding in the dark, was also surprised when he saw the person coming.

He knows this young man!
It was none other than the eldest son of the Wu family who was killed by Xiaohe himself!
