Chapter 6: Moonlight

"Didn't you notice that you woke up later than everyone else?" Wang Erguan asked.

Of course, Lin Shouxi found out, but he thought that it was because he fought a decisive battle with Mu Shijing and faced the evil spirit, leaving huge wounds on his body and mind, so he was in a coma for a long time...... Could there be any other reason?

"Why?" Lin Shouxi asked why.

Wang Erguan gave him an explanation as if pouring beans into a bamboo tube.

"The altar was on the edge of the cliff, and we were all called to the altar and fainted, but you don't know why we fell under the cliff. Before Yun Zhenren took us away, if it weren't for this Xiaohe girl poking her head out and taking a look at you and finding you, you would probably have been eaten clean by the worms in the mud by now. Wang Erguan said in a cynical tone.

Fell to the bottom of the cliff slope...... Could it be that some of his injuries were caused by falls?

"Is the cliff high?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"Not short." Wang Erguan said lightly.

Lin Shouxi felt more and more that it was a miracle that he could survive.

"Thank you Miss Xiaohe for saving your life." Lin Shouxi looked at Xiao He and said sincerely.

"Hmm...... Nothing. Xiao He shook his head slightly.

"How does Miss Xiao He know that I am below?" Lin Shouxi asked.

Xiao He closed his lips and thought for a while, and said, "I'm not sure, I just had an intuition at the time, so I went to take a look, but I didn't expect someone to really fall." ”

"I see." Lin Shouxi said sincerely: "If there is a chance in the future, Lin will repay the girl with a good life." ”

"After talking about it, why do you still have a posture of promising each other!" Wang Erguan said angrily.

Lin Shouxi didn't want to deal with him.

"Well, I'll talk about it later." Xiao He said softly.

She didn't seem to want to continue talking, closed her eyes, and began to meditate, her pale pink lips twitching, chanting the mantra.

The thin sunlight slid through the eaves and fell onto her hair, and her long white cloth-like hair was crystal clear.

Lin Shouxi also meditated.

At this moment, he couldn't practice, so he didn't force himself, just quietly recuperated from his injuries.

Thanks to his natural physique, if this injury were replaced by someone else, I am afraid that it would already be the first seven.

Lin Shouxi looked at the big tripod in the courtyard, looked at the slanting algae in the courtyard, looked at the classical cornices and the majestic kisses on it...... They are presented in a misty fog, giving people a sense of familiarity and strangeness.

When he was a child, he often sat alone on a bamboo chair under the eaves, picked a book at random, and sat for a day.

Because his martial arts cultivation has improved too quickly, even if he is holding a forbidden book in his hand, everyone will think that he is contemplating some heaven and earth truth.

In fact, he just had a cold face.

Lin Shouxi asked himself many times, and he felt that he loved the world.

The distinct four seasons, the fragrant flowers and plants, and the people who come and go, he can harvest a kind of Xinning from them. Of course, there are times when this tranquility is broken.

For example, when he was twelve years old, his brothers and sisters heard that Mu Shijing went to the Buddhist Gate, and after breaking his Zen heart countless times without saying a word, he felt that he had lost face in the Demon Gate, so they forced him to go to the Cihang Jingzhai to find a good place to find a place.

He kept himself clean and did not obey death.

The sisters of good deeds persuaded each other with good words: "Those pretty nuns have no grievances with you, you just go for a trip, what are you afraid of?" ”

"I also have no grievances with my senior sisters." He responded innocently and aggrieved.

"Now the rivers and lakes are discussing Namu Shijing, if this continues, the junior brother will be crushed again." The brothers and sisters were very anxious.

"Master said that the water is still and deep, and the cangwu taiyi can be developed, so why should we fight for a while......"

Everyone gathered around, and he blushed rarely, fled to the mountains and forests, and only came out trembling three days later.

When they saw their brothers and sisters again, everyone was very anxious. The three days of his disappearance frightened them, and they surrounded him, promising never to force him to do anything again.

Lin Shouxi looked at the eager crowd and said, "You don't have to care about me like this. ”

"What do you do if you don't care? You are the last hope of our Demon Gate. "Everyone says it as a matter of course.

"The last hope? Am I ......?"

"Who are you not? Senior brother, don't say such frustrating words again in the future. ”

I am the last hope of the Demon Gate......

Lin Shouxi looked in a trance.

He is considered by everyone to be the last hope, but when the torrent reaches him, he finds that he is far weaker than he imagined.

When Daomen besieged the Black Cliff, only a few people escaped, and the rest were almost captured by Daomen.

They may still be waiting for their little junior brother to save them.

Lin Shouxi felt his injured body and sighed unconsciously.

He can't do anything now.

"If you can't fix it, don't fix it hard, there's no point in pretending here."

Wang Erguan heard his sigh, and also sensed the problem he was facing now, and gloated.

Lin Shouxi looked at him indifferently.

Wang Erguan was stared at, and suddenly there was an illusion of a needle pushing his throat, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to move.

His gaze couldn't be more ordinary and calm, how could it be......

"You're right."

After a short silence, Lin Shouxi said so. He got up on his own and walked out of the courtyard.

It wasn't until he left that Wang Erguan touched his throat with palpitations.

Odd...... He's just a waste person who has been seriously injured and can't cultivate, how can I feel like this? It must have just been practiced and cultivated...... Wang Erguan, you will be the third young master in the future, you must not be so timid, any cat or dog can scare yourself.

He subconsciously glanced at Ji Luoyang and found that Ji Luoyang was also looking at him, with a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth.

"What are you laughing at? Don't let me fail to see that your true qi turnover is not smooth, and it is far worse than mine. Wang Erguan said proudly.

"Then try a fight?" Ji Luoyang's smile did not change.

Wang Erguan looked at him and always felt that he had something to rely on.

"Forget it, it's not good to explain to Yun Zhenren if you are crippled." Wang Erguan sat down stupidly, silently determined, and when his realm was higher and he could defeat him, he must teach him a hard lesson.

Ji Luoyang shook his head with a smile, he glanced at Xiao He, the true qi around the little girl was slowly flowing, there was nothing special.

……

Outside the courtyard, Lin Shouxi stood on the side of a secluded cliff and looked into the distance, his eyes could faintly see the dry lake in the distance beyond the fog.

The lake resembles a desolate gorge, too vast to be found, and a huge white mist rises from the lakebed, as if a dying beast is lurking beneath the silt to breathe.

The courtyard is located on the wall of the lake, which recedes at this moment, and its location is about the mountainside.

There are also strange snails attached to the stone walls here, and there are messy algae thorns, and the fishy smell keeps coming out of them.

Lin Shouxi wore a white Taoist robe, sat down on the edge of the cliff, and pondered for a long time.

After coming back to his senses slightly, he picked up a branch at random, although the true qi could not be circulated, but the heavy moves of the White Pupil and Black Phoenix Sword Sutra had already been engraved in his bones, he took the branch and gestured twice, and then suddenly remembered something.

Before, except for Luo Shu and Black Scales, he always felt that he was still missing something.

He finally remembered now that he still lacked a sword.

He clearly remembered that he was holding a sword in his hand before he fell unconscious, which was the famous sword 'death certificate' passed on to him by his master, where did this sword go? Was it also taken away by Yun Zhenren?

"So you're here."

In the middle of his thoughts, a girl's voice came from behind him.

Lin Shouxi turned around and saw Xiao He walking over with his skirt.

"How did you find me?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"I said, you have a special smell on your body." Xiao He pursed his lips and smiled.

"Is it the smell?" Lin Shouxi sniffed himself.

"No, it's just a feeling, huh...... I can't tell. Xiao He raised his hand to cover the wind that was blowing on his forehead.

Lin Shouxi thought to himself, maybe this is what the senior brother said, a woman's unique intuition that transcends the five senses.

He nodded, his eyes couldn't help but be attracted to her hair again, and the more he looked at it, the more beautiful he felt.

Under different lights, the white of the long hair was slightly different, but it was soft and delicate.

"What do you always look at my hair for?" Xiao He was a little embarrassed.

When Lin Shouxi first came to this world, he was afraid of leaving a rare and strange impression on the other party, so he lied without changing his face:

"I'm taller than you, and when I look down, I can only see your hair."

"Oh......"

Xiao He's eyebrows frowned slightly, as if she was displeased, she stared at Lin Shouxi, her lips moved, but she didn't speak.

"What's wrong? Anything else? Lin Shouxi looked at her appearance and asked.

The girl bit her lip and did not speak.

The cliff wind poured over the hem of her skirt, and the endless mist flowed between them, and the snow hair curled comfortably, and the cheeks in between, were pink and jade, and they were incomprehensibly soft.

After a long time, she stared at Lin Shouxi, plucked up the courage to ask, "Do you think I'm good-looking?" ”

Lin Shouxi was completely stunned, he was not a fool, he could more or less understand the sound of the strings here.

But they have only known each other for a day, even if Lang really has a concubine, it shouldn't be so straightforward, not to mention that although she is as beautiful as an elf, she really doesn't have more ideas.

Now that he is burdened with deep hatred and hatred, besieged between life and death, how can he have the leisure to think about unrealistic children's affection?

He just wants to practice well, practice swords, uncover the thick fog of this world, and cleanse the ghosts hidden in the darkness!

Not to mention...... He didn't know each other at all.

Are the little girls in this world so proactive? Or does she have other plans?

Lin Shouxi felt that she was alone, and there was nothing worth plotting except for the skin and the 'taste' in her mouth.

"Is this a difficult question? Why do you want to think about it for so long? The girl's thin neck was slightly slanted and asked.

"I just don't understand, why are you asking this." Lin Shouxi said.

"I ......," said the girl hesitantly, "it was my aunt who taught me to ask such questions." ”

"Auntie?"

"Well, that's all you need to say." Xiao He said.

Lin Shouxi saw that she had a tough attitude, and he was not too embarrassed to continue to twist, he didn't like to panic unnecessarily, and was ready to sincerely praise the other party's appearance, but as soon as he took a mouthful, a yin wind swept by their sides, making his beautiful words stuck in his throat.

"What are you doing here?" Yun Zhenren carried a wooden sword on his back and walked out of the fog on the edge of the cliff.

"We ......" Lin Shouxi was about to make up a reason.

"Alright, don't try to fool me." Yun Zhenren interrupted coldly, "Go back if you have nothing to do, I don't bother to care about your children's personal feelings, but if you dare to damage your virgin body, you will definitely die." ”

Lin Shouxi and Xiao He glanced at each other, answered 'Got it', and then returned to the courtyard with Yun Zhenren.

Wang Erguan and Ji Luoyang saw Yun Zhenren and got up and saluted together.

Yun Zhenren is here to check their cultivation results today.

He looked at Wang Erguan, Ji Luoyang, and Xiao He one after another, and they all nodded lightly, expressing satisfaction.

"It is worthy of being the disciple chosen by the Lord of the Town Guard, your entry speed is enough for most geniuses." Yun Zhenren said.

But when he came to Lin Shouxi, he frowned.

"Although you accidentally slipped off the altar, did the Lord Guardian forget to open your spiritual vein?" Yun Zhenren frowned.

"It's my injuries that are too severe." Lin Shouxi said.

"Hurt?"

Yun Zhenren put one hand on his shoulder, and his brow furrowed even tighter after a slight sensation.

"Aren't you in pain with such an injury?" Yun Zhenren asked.

"Pain." Lin Shouxi said.

Yun Zhenren stared at him for a while, and he suddenly had a desire to open his right eye, the desire was only fleeting, of course he would not open his eyes for a young man.

"Your perseverance is not bad, but it's a pity......," Yun Zhenren sighed indifferently, and said, "In this world, there are countless cultivators who have the same perseverance as you but are depressed, so you don't have to feel too pity." ”

"I'll take care of my injuries." Lin Shouxi said.

"Not necessarily." Yun Zhenren said lightly: "There are only three young ladies who can inherit divine power, if you are a waste, it just saves me the effort to pick someone among you." ”

Yun Zhenren no longer looked at Lin Shouxi, he looked at the other three and said:

"Practice well, I will evaluate you in three days, this assessment is very important, don't let me down."

Yun Zhenren disappeared again.

After a few more hours, an old woman walked in with a cane and put the lunch box she was carrying on the table.

The boys and girls who had been eating and drinking all day realized their hunger and hurriedly took their share and ate it.

After eating, it was getting dark very quickly.

Lin Shouxi sat on the corridor, spitting according to the method given to him by Luo Shu, and healed his injuries in an orderly manner.

Today's Wang Erguan was particularly excited, he didn't feel sleepy at all, and he also ran to the yard in a white robe at night, playing his family boxing over and over again, and the moves were vigorous.

Lin Shouxi looked at his boxing skills for a while, felt that there were many loopholes, and subconsciously shook his head.

Wang Erguan noticed his shaking of his head, thinking that he must have been hit by the words of a real person today, so at this moment, looking at my clever boxing skills, and thinking of his own bad situation, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

He originally thought that this young man was born so good-looking, there must be something special about it, maybe he was clumsy, but today Yun Zhenren has designated a 'waste person', and he has nothing to scruple about.

Although a real person only opens one eye, can he still see it?

With a psychological advantage, Wang Erguan instead had a kind of condescending generosity: "Brother Lin, life always needs to be difficult and tempered, don't be too disheartened, cheer up, maybe you can encounter some chances, when you recover, I will teach you a set of boxing techniques, which will be regarded as a meeting gift for this Pingshui meeting." ”

"No, you don't." Lin Shouxi felt as if he had misunderstood something again.

Wang Erguan's whimsical generosity disappeared without a trace, and after he muttered 'I don't know what to do', he hit a few sets of boxing techniques hard before resting contentedly for a while.

"Brother Lin, don't you feel uncomfortable wearing these ragged clothes?" Wang Erguan shook the Taoist clothes on his body and complained.

This is the clothes that Yun Zhenren uniformly issued to them.

"I think it fits perfectly." Lin Shouxi has no requirements for food and clothing since he was a child.

"Hmph, I think you're used to it." Wang Erguan showed his wealth with stitches, "When I was still at home, I used the best silk silk in Wangye City, which can be said to be invasive and difficult to approach. This kind of coarse cloth is not even worn by the subordinates of our family, and it looks like mourning clothes. ”

"Aren't you just mourning?" Lin Shouxi said calmly.

Wang Erguan's fat body was shocked, and the tragic situation of Wang Ji's death crashed into his mind like a nightmare, which frightened him, and the follow-up complaints were swallowed back into his bloated stomach.

He stared at Lin Shouxi angrily, and the mind to practice boxing was gone, he turned around silently and went back to his room.

Before entering the door, he couldn't help but sneer: "It's useless to think too much, go to bed early, and you can have a good dream if you're lucky." ”

The door slammed shut.

The rain had stopped, and the eaves were dripping with water, and Lin Shouxi raised his head and could see the moon.

There is also a moon in this world.

The moonlight is clear tonight, like a strand of fiber like a girl's hair.
