Lin Shouxi came to his new room.

The new room, though cramped, was devoid of the pungent musty smell, and the soaking wooden cabinets and creaky beds he sat on were generally satisfied.

In the quiet night, Lin Shouxi thought about what happened during the day.

Yun Zhenren and the realm division they talked about, the demon killing courtyard and the tall and thick white wall on the side, the selected sword scriptures and swords, and the weird heart demons entwined by chains......

In the past, he had always thought that the so-called inner demon was an obsession with the deterioration of his heart, and he never thought that this thing could evolve into a physical ghost.

'Do I have demons too......

Lin Shouxi pressed his chest and thought.

His injuries had healed, his true qi was running unhindered in his body, and his realm had returned to its peak, but he also knew that instead of being ignored by Yun Zhenren, he was suspected, so he didn't rush to test his realm to prevent being seen by the eyes of the dark.

A few days later may be the best chance to clear the demon turbidity.

Without further thought, he took out the Sword Sutra from his bosom.

Each teenager who took the Sword Sutra had only three days to recite them.

He spread the sword sutra on his lap, but his gaze was not glued to the page, but spread out a little dazedly.

He began to recall all the sword scriptures he had read today.

It was impossible to memorize all the sword scriptures from memory, but after reading dozens of sword scriptures, he sorted out a vein from them, a vein in which the swordsmanship of the witch family would never deviate from its sect.

The hundreds of sword scriptures in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion are all derived from this vein.

If he had enough time, he could even follow this vein and reverse deduce all the sword scripture tips of the Wu family.

But he didn't have time.

Lin Shouxi briefly recalled, his fingers gently swiping in his sleeve.

Someone's coming.

It was still a silent pace, and the girl in the snow-haired blue dress was like moonlight flowing through the cracks, she was covered with a black cloak, and she appeared in front of her unconsciously, with a smile on her cheeks.

She came to learn the remaining three forms.

"Is anyone peeking?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"Senior brother, don't worry, I was very careful when I came."

Xiao He took off her black cloak, stood on tiptoe and hung it on the window, she turned around dexterously, picked up the book on Lin Shouxi's lap, glanced at the cover, and frowned lightly.

"Standing Armor Sword Imperial Technique? What do you think of this kind of thing? ”

"Because the book was relatively new, I picked it." Lin Shouxi said.

"Of course it's new, because no one knows how to practice it, and this kind of defensive swordsmanship is not welcome." Xiao He said.

"Master entrusted the sect to me, of course I want to live as well as possible." Lin Shouxi said seriously.

"Defending doesn't end well." Xiao He said: "The best defensive technique is always to kill the enemy. ”

"It's okay, it's all picked, it's a waste if you don't practice." Lin Shouxi said with a light smile.

"Hmph, then you can practice your turtle defense technique, don't listen to your junior sister, see you on the road to Huangquan."

Xiao He's words were mean, but a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.

She sat down beside him as always, and healed his true qi.

After the healing, Lin Shouxi began to teach Xiao He the Sword Sutra Heart Method.

The two communicated in voices that only each other could hear clearly, Lin Shouxi simulated sword gestures with his fingers, and Xiao He listened attentively.

By the time the lecture was finished, it was already three watches in the night.

Xiao He let out a long sigh of relief, satisfied. She bowed and thanked her brother.

Lin Shouxi nodded and said, "It's so late tonight, junior sister, don't go back, we might as well stay here......"

"What?" Xiao He was taken aback and interrupted: "Although I understand that Senior Brother wants to revitalize the heart of the master, but this ...... Won't it be faster? ”

Lin Shouxi was silent for a while before continuing: "We might as well stay here and review the first nine styles." ”

“……”

"No need, junior sister remembers it clearly."

Xiao He ran out in shame.

Lin Shouxi only slept for two hours before waking up.

When he pushed the door open, a number of young men in gray and brown clothes had gathered in the courtyard.

Vice Courtyard Sun stood in front of them, although he was far shorter than them, but his demonic temperament could be perceived through the crowd.

Lin Shouxi, Xiao He, Ji Luoyang, and Wang Erguan went out one after another and integrated into the queue.

"Senior brother, why is your face a little white?" Xiao He asked.

Lin Shouxi touched his cheek, he did feel a little weak today, but he didn't take it too seriously.

"Maybe I didn't have a good rest." He said.

Xiao He showed a guilty look.

The disciples of the Demon Slaying Courtyard were all wearing dark clothes, and their white Taoist robes were dazzling in them, and Deputy Courtyard Sun called an old woman and gave them a black dress to change into.

It's a great outfit for action and fighting.

The Demon Slaying Academy is not strict, except for the morning training organized by the Sun Vice Academy every morning, the rest of the time is practiced by themselves, and the disciples can compete with each other, but they must obtain the consent of the other party, and no one is allowed to die.

Lin Shouxi originally wanted to find a few disciples to ask for more information, but these disciples were quite unkind to a few of their strange disciples, especially after Deputy Yuan Sun gave them a set of black clothes, many disciples looked at them with jealousy and hatred.

Black symbolizes nobility in the Demon Killing Courtyard, and only the top three masters on the Demon Killing List are worthy of wearing.

After knowing this, Lin Shouxi immediately realized that Deputy Yuan Sun gave them this set of clothes, not because he valued them very much, but because he wanted them to become the real target of public criticism.

Sure enough, their names soon appeared on the demon killing list.

Most of the disciples in the Demon Slaying Academy are teenagers and girls under the age of eighteen, and although they have all tempered their killer skills, in terms of realm alone, many of them have not yet succeeded in condensing pills.

Lin Shouxi also understood more and more the meaning of 'lucky person' in Yun Zhen's mouth.

Ten days of hard work surpassed his years of penance, which was something that most ordinary cultivators could not understand and accept.

On the new demon killing list, the names of Wang Erguan and Ji Luoyang appeared in the fourth and fifth respectively, Xiao He's name appeared in the seventh, and Lin Shouxi's name appeared in the seventeenth.

There were 30 people in the hospital.

"Are you happy with this ranking?"

When Lin Shouxi was looking at the list, a young man in gray came to his side and asked coldly.

"Not satisfied." Lin Shouxi shook his head.

"I know you're all the Chosen One, and you're all arrogant, but this ranking is pretty good for you." The young man said: "The sixteen people before you have all succeeded in condensing pills, and among those who have not condensed pills, Vice Yuan Sun has given you the highest position, of course, you may not be worthy of it." ”

Lin Shouxi did not speak.

He wasn't dissatisfied with his ranking, he just felt that Xiao He's ranking shouldn't be so low.

He was about to turn to leave, but the gray-clothed young man slashed his sword and stopped in front of him.

"As long as you want, the demon killing list can be rewritten anytime and anywhere." The gray-clothed young man stared at him with cold eyes, "I'm thirteen. Seventeen, as long as you win me, you are thirteen. This is the rule of the hospital. ”

"I'm not seventeen, my name is Lin Shouxi." Lin Shouxi replied.

The gray-clothed young man was stunned, and then, the coldness in his eyes turned into anger.

The disciples in the Demon Killing Courtyard are all slaves bought by the Wu family from some remote towns, and the Wu family raised them from a young age, among which those who can practice are sent to the Demon Killing Academy to hone their training, and those who cannot practice are reduced to slaves.

But even if they come to the Demon Killing Courtyard, they are still slaves.

Slaves don't have names, their rankings on the Demon Slaying Charts are their names, and only after they get in the top three or get a higher position will they get their own name.

Lin Shouxi's words had a strong sense of ridicule in the ears of the gray-clothed young man.

"Here, you're Seventeen!" The gray-clothed young man said fiercely.

"Okay."

Lin Shouxi felt that there was no problem in following the customs, so he nodded and bypassed the interception of the gray-clothed young man and went elsewhere.

The gray-clothed young man looked at his departing back and frowned, only feeling that even gods would occasionally be blind, otherwise how could he pick such a coward?

Lin Shouxi took a walk around the Demon Killing Courtyard.

There are three places for practice in the courtyard, one is a place for meditation, a huge mouthless Buddha is placed in the middle, a number of iron tree spirits are used as live targets to help train swordsmanship, a headless thousand-handed Buddha is placed in the middle, and an ice cellar is placed on the ice, and there are iron piles, knife mountains and other things on the ice to help train footwork, and the Buddha with split eyes is placed in the middle.

On the way, Lin Shouxi encountered several difficulties, most of which were ranked lower than him.

At the Demon Slayer Academy, many people see it as a shame to challenge those who rank lower than themselves.

Lin Shouxi didn't agree.

Wang Erguan and Ji Luoyang had a hot fight with others.

Wang Erguan has the highest realm, he has no rules to fight, and he relies on his majestic true qi to fight hard, but it is such a Wang Baquan that has really repelled many challengers.

Ji Luoyang's martial arts cultivation is extremely high, and those who challenge him have not tasted any sweetness.

Xiao He didn't show up all day.

After cultivating this morning, she locked herself in the house and practiced the 'Snow Flowing Cloud Sword Sutra'. Of course, the disciples of the Demon Slaying Academy would think that this was a timid and weak girl, and there were already many people waiting for her to go out and seize her seventh position.

Lin Shouxi walked around the Demon Killing Courtyard, and after memorizing all the roads and terrain, he prepared to return to the house to retreat.

Someone blocked the door to his room.

The blocker was dressed in brown clothes and held a sword in his arms.

"I'm the ninth on the demon killing list, you can call me Xiao Jiu." "They always feel ashamed to challenge the lower rankers, and I never think that arrogance often kills people, especially those like us who are destined to be with the sword for life," said the young man in brown. ”

Lin Shouxi looked at him quietly, waiting for him to finish.

The brown-clothed young man looked at him and continued, "In the real life-and-death struggle, the realm is not a very important thing. You are good-looking, and I will not think that you are an embroidered pillow because of this, come to fight, if you don't, I will stand at the door and not leave. ”

The young man who called himself Xiao Jiu said loudly.

In the Demon Killing Courtyard, many people gathered and looked at them with interest, and many people began to coax, and their words were not lacking in humiliation.

Lin Shouxi listened to those words that ridiculed and insulted him, and there was no turmoil in his heart.

He didn't accept their challenge before, because he always felt that someone was staring at him, and that person might be Vice President Sun or Yun Zhenren.

They never let go of their doubts about themselves.

But now, he suddenly realized that retreating would only increase their suspicions.

"Okay, I agree." Lin Shouxi looked at Xiao Jiu calmly and said.

Xiao Jiu was slightly stunned, then he laughed, and after he looked around at everyone, he moved his gaze back to Lin Shouxi's face.

"I have one more condition." Xiao Jiu intensified.

"Say."

"If I win, you must take off your black garment and give it to me in public."

Xiao Jiu grinned, he knew that the other party had ridden the tiger hard, if he refused at this moment, he would definitely suffer countless abuses and white eyes, but if he agreed, he would have to bear even more humiliation later.

To Xiao Jiu's surprise, Lin Shouxi simply thought about it and agreed.

"What if you lose?" Lin Shouxi also asked.

"What do you want?"

Xiao Jiu felt that he was pretending to be clumsy to save face, if as expected, now the other party should make an extremely unreasonable request to bluff him, trying to scare him away.

But Xiao Jiu guessed wrong.

"If you lose, don't disturb my cultivation in the future." Lin Shouxi said an extremely simple request.

"Are you serious?" Xiao Jiu thought he had misheard.

Lin Shouxi snorted.

"You've been wandering around all day, where do you have the appearance of cultivation?" Xiao Jiu asked.

"You don't understand." Lin Shouxi would not explain to him.

This sentence made Xiao Jiu angry, he took a step, and the green bricks under his feet were slightly shattered, "You are looking for ...... death"

At this time, Wang Erguan and Ji Luoyang also gathered, Wang Erguan was extremely excited, he raised his arm and opened his voice and shouted: "Brother Lin, Brother Luoyang and I have beaten a lot of people today, you and we are so good that you come out of the same courtyard, don't be embarrassed." ”

Ji Luoyang's expression was calm, he stared at Lin Shouxi, as if he was looking for some clues.

The crowd made a way, and Lin Shouxi and Xiao Jiu came to the open space in the center, and the two stood opposite each other, like bows and crossbows. The moment the tension of the killing intent expanded, a discordant tone suddenly sounded.

It was the sound of the door opening.

"What are you arguing about?"

Xiao He's door was closed for a day, but at this moment it was open, the girl stood at the door, the green skirt had been changed into a tight-fitting black suit, she was petite and slender, with good curves, the duanjing when she first saw her was gone, and her slightly cold eyebrows and eyes revealed a heroic spirit that could not be hidden.

The moment she appeared, the Demon Killing Courtyard seemed to be frightened by her and fell silent.

Xiao He walked to Lin Shouxi's side in full view of everyone, and looked up at him with a small face, as if asking.

Lin Shouxi briefly explained to her what had happened.

Xiao He looked at the provocative brown-clothed young man and said coldly: "You are not worthy." ”

"What did you say?" Xiao Jiu let go of the hand holding the sword and stood solemnly.

"I said, you don't deserve to fight my senior brother."

Xiao He rubbed her eyes, her words were lazy, she raised her head slightly, looked at the brown-clothed young man who was much taller than herself, and suddenly said:

"I'll do it for my brother."
