I will bury the gods

Chapter 306 The Road to Chang'an
The light shines through the half-covered windows of the bamboo curtains, and cuts square spots of light on the table. A withered camellia flower is inserted in the white-glazed porcelain vase, and fine smoke and dust are flying around the flower, like the dead soul of a butterfly.

Lin Shouxi stared into Mu Shijing's eyes.

Like an ice arrow piercing his heart, the smile on Lin Shouxi's face quickly faded, and he immediately thought of one thing.

When he was very young, his senior brothers and sisters once made a list of baby relatives for him. At that time, the senior brothers and sisters made a list of hundreds of people, but they couldn't find a real match. At this time, a senior sister asked if he could go to Marriage with the Daoist sect, coincidentally, the Daoist sect also had a similar idea, and they were also drafting a marriage letter. Later, the new Daoist sect master took office and stopped the marriage.

In other words, this marriage letter...

"Yeah, I've been engaged since I was a child, with a bastard." The cold light in Mu Shijing's eyes had faded, and she said contemptuously, "Fortunately, Master was wise enough to prevent this marriage, otherwise... Marrying such a person, I dare not even think about it."

Mu Shijing really didn't dare to think about it.

If she really got married, wouldn't she be bullied by Lin Shouxi in the morning, by her junior sister Chu Yingchan at noon, secretly practiced and betrayed by the death certificate, and Xiaohe would arrest her to write a shameful manuscript when she returned home at night? The life of a man... Isn't that what Abi Hell is all about?And would that kind of thing really make you happy? Hearing from Xiaohe, it turned out that the real purpose of being together is to let the other party enter you. Isn't this equivalent to stabbing someone with a sword, how can you be comfortable?Or is love inherently traumatic?
Wait, what am I thinking again, this girl is 19 years old this year, why is she still like a cardamom girl who doesn't know much about the world... Mu Shijing gritted his teeth, and quickly smashed all the ideas that came up into pieces.

In the past, Mu Shijing would subconsciously blame Master for these things, thinking that Master did not give her a good education in this regard. Now, she has reconciled with Master from the bottom of her heart, because she feels that Master may I don't understand these either.

After all, this marriage letter was just an episode when she was four or five years old. The past of her death suddenly appeared in front of her, and it would always bring some inexplicable stinging pain. Jing quickly calmed down.

It's just that when the corner of the marriage letter touched her fingertips, she could still feel a little heat, like the aftermath of a flame after it had burned out.

Facing Mu Shijing's cynicism, Lin Shouxi just smiled, squatted down, and asked softly, "Can I read this marriage letter?"

"No."

Mu Shijing bent his fingers, took the marriage letter back into his arms, and said, "It's an exception for me to let you come to the boudoir for a stroll, but you still want to make an inch of it? How can you let you see something as personal as a marriage letter?" gone?"

"I just want to see which bastard has the guts to covet Miss Mu." Lin Shouxi said softly.

"What do you have to do with me? Don't meddle in other people's business." Mu Shijing gritted his silver teeth lightly, gathered the marriage certificate, put the rest of the items back into the wooden box, and pushed them back under the bed.

When he turned his head, Mu Shijing saw that Lin Shouxi was still looking at him.

Her heart moved, she thought about it, and said: "Okay, if you really want to see it, then... In short, when this girl is in a better mood, I will show it to you."

Lin Shouxi smiled and didn't ask any more questions.

Mu Shijing originally wanted to open the marriage letter and read it, but Lin Shouxi was by her side, so she always felt uncomfortable, so she temporarily put it in her bosom, thinking to take it out quietly to have a look when no one was around late at night.

The marriage letter was placed close to the chest, but it always seemed to be covering a thin piece of charcoal fire, burning that place like a flaming mountain.

Of course, this is just an illusion in the final analysis, and she doesn't know what she cares about.

Later, he was going to see his senior brothers and sisters, and this attire was suspected of surrendering to the enemy, so Mu Shijing temporarily expelled Lin Shouxi and changed clothes in the room.

Lin Shouxi waited at the door for a while.

The door rang.

Like a hole in heaven, the Son of God, which symbolizes holiness and pure white, walks towards the world.

The girl's slightly pointed pear-colored flat shoes were the first to bury the threshold, and then, the curve of the delicate calf was also revealed. The calf was wrapped in thin stockings of ice silk to resist evil, purifying the original coquettishness into holiness, and the holy intention was upward. The extension is blocked by a snow-white cotton skirt, the white skirt is pure color, only the corners of the skirt are painted with flowers and cranes, the girl is well-developed, slender and fit, beautiful and graceful, with a faint smile on her mouth, and brilliance in her eyes, A head of black hair was pulled into an elegant bun, exposing the snow-white back of the neck, and on the dark cloud-like hair was a small nine-tailed phoenix golden crown, which was not only unobtrusive, but also added a little bit of charm to her. Inviolable nobility.

In the blink of an eye, Mu Shijing was a different person.

Lin Shouxi, who was used to beauties, also froze in place, shocked by this thrilling beauty, speechless for a moment.

She doesn't seem to have stepped out of this elegant hut, but more like she has stepped down from the throne on the snow mountain.

At the same time, Lin Shouxi also wondered whether Mu Shijing's personality changed with the color of her clothes. After changing this clothes, she suddenly became more gentle and peaceful. flaw.

Mu Shijing was walking in the snow, and noticed Lin Shouxi's eyes from time to time. She smiled slightly and asked, "Which one do you think looks better?"

Lin Shouxi could see the provocation in the depths of her eyes. Although his heart trembled because of Mu Shijing's indescribable beauty, he sneered and said, "Miss Mu is indeed so beautiful, she can be regarded as the second most beautiful in the world."

"The most beautiful is a holy Bodhisattva?" Mu Shijing thought that he was protecting his shortcomings again.

"It's me." Lin Shouxi said calmly.

"Shameless!"

Mu Shijing's chest rose and fell, and she clenched her fists in her sleeves. If she hadn't been in a Taoist sect, she would have used her fists and feet to reason.

The Taoist saint came back, and the Taoist disciples who had experienced the great turmoil were overjoyed, and they came to see the saint.

When they saw Lin Shouxi following him and seeing him in plain white clothes, they couldn't help thinking about it.

"This is Lin Shouxi, the descendant of the Demon Sect. He used to be my enemy and was defeated by me. He finally turned his back on the dark and turned to the light. He joined the Dao Sect and was trained by me to become a good Dao Sect disciple. From now on, when you see him, don't worry about it." I'm scared." Mu Shijing said softly to the disciples who surrounded him.

Lin Shouxi didn't want to embarrass her in front of everyone, so she chose to remain silent.

When getting along with Chu Chu, Lin Shouxi already understood that all the vanity earned in front of others will eventually be repaid in other ways behind others.

The fact that Lin Shouxi worshiped the head of the Taoist sect as his teacher has long been known in the world, but the disciples pretended not to know, and shouted that the saint is mighty, which made Mu Shijing very proud.The disciples asked her about the master's movements again, but Mu Shijing was vague, saying that the master was going to handle important things now.

Thinking of this, Mu Shijing and Lin Shouxi both thought of the sudden sword that came when the gate of the other world was opened, and worried in their hearts, but worry was useless. They could only choose to believe in Master, and believed that she could save the day.

Lin Shouxi quietly left to find his senior brothers and sisters.

But when the maid led him to the residence of his brothers and sisters, Lin Shouxi only saw a row of empty houses. The servant who was cleaning the room told him that these people left last night. They said, "Although Taoism is good, it is not my hometown." , so he left quietly and went back to the magic gate.

Lin Shouxi didn't feel disappointed either. In his heart, senior brothers and sisters were just like this kind of people. He wandered alone in the Taoist gate for a while, and when he walked through a magnificent wooden hall, the Zhan Palace at his waist suddenly shone brightly. Consonance, pushed the door open and entered.

This is the ancestral hall of Taoism, which records the portraits of the ancestors since the establishment of Taoism.

The portrait of Gong Yu is placed in the center.

She is the only female sect master in the history of the Taoist sect.

In the painting, the master's white skirt and fence are like a cloud of confusing fog. No matter how dexterous the brush is, it will appear clumsy when depicting the real beauty of heaven and man. People can't imagine, Mu Shijingruo standing beside her at this moment really looks like a mother and daughter.

Then, Lin Shouxi discovered that there was a painting next to the portrait of the master.

There is no specific person in this painting, only a dark silhouette, and under the silhouette, there is also the seal of the sect master, which proves that it is the handwriting of the master.

Lin Shouxi knew at the first sight that this should be the master of the legendary master, but he didn't understand why the master didn't draw a full portrait, but only a black shadow. This black shadow... looks familiar, It seems to have seen it somewhere.

"It's quite similar to the painting."

Behind him, the girl's cold voice came.

Lin Shouxi looked back and saw Mu Shijing standing at the gate of the Patriarch Hall.

He didn't know that in Mu Shijing's line of sight, his back and the figure in the painting almost overlapped.

"Like? What look like?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"I said, this master's painting is quite similar." Mu Shijing smiled softly and fooled him.

Lin Shouxi nodded, but always felt that she was hiding something.

Mu Shijing walked slowly to his side, looked at the portrait, and said, "Speaking of which, it's been more than 300 years, and Master doesn't seem to have ever thought of getting married."

"Master is such a goddess, it is reasonable not to seek a Taoist couple." Lin Shouxi said.

"Is it?"

But Mu Shijing shook his head and said, "I think it has something to do with Master's master."

"Is that so... If that's the case, how entangled is the marriage between the master and her master, and they can never forget it for hundreds of years." Lin Shouxi sighed.

"It doesn't necessarily need a deep entanglement. Sometimes, a short but good memory is enough to remember for a lifetime." Mu Shijing said.

"Maybe." Lin Shouxi said.

"Heh, I heard that you told your apprentice that only what is not solid will be washed away by time. You said this. How come you yourself are shaken?" Mu Shijing asked with a smile.

Lin Shouxi laughed at himself. He looked at the portrait and said, "Even if time cannot wash away, the people and things that have passed away will never come back. Doesn't the eternal memory add to the sadness?"

Mu Shijing wanted to say a few words, but she gave up after opening her mouth. There was a playful smile on her lips. She rummaged through the cabinet and found something, handed it to Lin Shouxi, and said, "Yes, master and master It's really regrettable, so how about coming to burn incense for my master?"

Mu Shijing handed the incense to the past.

Lin Shouxi didn't think much about it, and felt that it should be done, so he took the incense, lit it, and after three salutes, inserted it into the incense altar.

Seeing this scene, Mu Shijing pursed his red lips tightly, for fear of laughing out loud.

She also went to burn a few sticks of incense.

After leaving the Patriarch Hall, the two of them had a complete rest, refreshed, and finally set off towards Chang'an.

They prepared a car, which was pulled by a strong dragon horse, and the speed was very fast.

The wheels spun fast, and the carriage bumped away.

On the road.

Mu Shijing opened the curtain, looked at the scene flying back, and suddenly said:
"The dead are like husbands, never to return. The master has lived alone in the world for hundreds of years. How lonely. As her disciple and grandson, you should think about it for the master."

"What are you talking nonsense about?" Lin Shouxi frowned.

"Don't pretend you don't understand." Mu Shijing said, "You have been alone with Master for so long, do you really feel nothing?"

Lin Shouxi didn't answer immediately.

It would be a lie to say that there is no feeling at all. Back then, when he was sheltering from the rain in the temple, the proud and hot body of the master plunged into his arms, and when he hugged him tightly, he could not forget the burning and full feeling. To jump out of the chest, not to mention the few unintentional peeps and the lesson he dared to teach the ancestor.

but……

But he knew that the reason why Shizu condoned his teaching to her was because Shizu missed her master.He may be somewhat similar to her master, but in the end it is just a substitute, a tool for the master to recall his childhood.

And him?He couldn't tell what he was thinking, but on the rough road of fleeing south, his life and death with his master was bound to make him remember his whole life. He didn't care about the "use" of him by his master, but felt more pity .

If Mu Shijing knew what he was thinking at the moment, he would definitely go over and call him a fool.

"Why don't you talk? If you don't talk, it means you have it? Tsk tsk, you really want to be my master, you are really ambitious." Mu Shijing crossed his arms and looked at him coldly.

"Aren't you looking for a master yourself?" Lin Shouxi asked back.

"Let me just say it casually, you really dare to think about it." Mu Shijing pursed his mouth and said meaningfully: "Xiaoyu will definitely turn bad if she falls into your hands, maybe she will be another girl at that time." What about someone like Master."

"How is it possible?" Lin Shouxi shook his head, not paying attention.

Xiaoyu has indeed been a lot of unruly and willful recently, but he feels that he is not to blame, and it is probably caused by Xiaohe.Besides, he has also met Xiaoyu's mother, her mother who is wearing a green dress looks like a very indifferent to demure fairy from the outside, so where can the daughter born of such a fairy go?

"Don't believe me?" Mu Shijing looked at Lin Shouxi's face with great interest, and sneered as if seeing through the world.

Lin Shouxi didn't like her confident smile, so he stopped answering her question, but launched a counterattack: "By the way, I said earlier that only weak things will be destroyed by time, so, after a hundred years, if Mu Girl recalling the past, what else will she remember?"

The wind blew the curtains, and the light came in from the outside, hitting the cheeks of the saint in white dress, her dimples were like paper soaked in water, showing translucence, and the beautiful blue veins were clearly visible.

She pulled her hair swaying in the breeze behind her ears, and instead of looking into Lin Shouxi's eyes, she looked out the window.

Long Mala's car drove quickly across a mountain road. The road was paved with small stones and was very bumpy. There were withered trees and jagged rocks on both sides. I don't know what is so good about this scenery, but it made Mu Shijing concentrate for so long.

"I will still remember you, remember everything about you." Mu Shijing turned her head around at some point, her face was half in the light, half in the shadow, and there was a bit of charm in her cold eyes.

Lin Shouxi asked casually, but he didn't expect to get such an answer. For a moment, his back straightened involuntarily.

"Why...why?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"Because I hold grudges." Mu Shijing tilted his head and blinked. On his pure white and beautiful face, the smile on his red lips was so charming that people couldn't tell whether she was joking or saying something. truth.

"Me too." Lin Shouxi said so.

"What are you too?" Mu Shijing's smile faded, and she asked coldly, "Do you remember me or do you also hold grudges?"

"Guess?" Lin Shouxi said with a smile.

"Boring." Mu Shijing turned cold and turned his head to the side.

The nearby scenery is in a hurry, and the distant scenery is faltering.

A stream of white snow ran past her eyes.

She was looking at the scenery in the light outside the window, and Lin Shouxi was looking at her in the shadows inside the car.

Outside the window, the sky is high and the earth is far away, so vast that it seems that it would take a lifetime to walk.

The cold wind was like a knife, as if trying to carve her cheeks in vain, the cold air squeezed into the gaps in the skirt, and swam around her, the bright red marriage letter was hot against her chest.

Mu Shijing doesn't know how many people and things she will remember hundreds of years later, but she believes that she will always remember this moment, and it will last forever with her life.

She couldn't help but think of the story in Zhu Shenlu again. At the beginning of the story, the male protagonist and another girl shared weal and woe and had a relationship. He hesitated, and finally, a sentence from a villain and witch inspired him-you are so timid, you dare not do anything?
The male protagonist has an epiphany, and finally got what he wanted after some twists and turns, and returned home with both beauty. Of course, this is not the main thing. The most important thing is that the karmic cycle of retribution is not good. He was also tamed by him, and completely sank in the singing and dancing every night.

When she first saw this, Mu Shijing even laughed at it. Now that she has gone through so many things, she suddenly realizes that the reality seems to be more absurd than the story. Marriage like Master is entangled, as for myself...

She is not a character in the book, how could she be as shameful as the witch in the book?
Of course, now is not the time to think about these things.

A destroyed locust forest came into view.

Neither of them joked anymore.

It was as cold inside as it was outside.

The dragon horse neighed and stopped.

Mu Shijing took off the delicate golden nine-tailed phoenix crown, and put it aside. At the same time, she fastened the death certificate to the iron buckle on her waist, and got out of the car with her hand on the hilt of the sword.

The weather is fine and cloudy.

Lin Shouxi and Mu Shijing stood side by side on the official road.

The ancient city of Chang'an stood in front of them, majestic like fate.
