Chapter 35: Real Name
After quietly watching the sunset for a while, Lin Shouxi got up and asked, "Can I go out for a walk?" ”
"You want to escape?" Xiao Qi asked.
"I can't escape." Lin Shouxi said.
Xiao Qi nodded after hesitation and said, "Yun Zhenren did say that there is no need to restrict your freedom, but you had better not have unrealistic thoughts, tonight is the night of choosing a divine servant, the Wu family is heavily guarded, and you can't escape." ”
Lin Shouxi snorted, he pushed open the dusty wooden door, folded his hands on his sleeves, and walked into the afterglow of the remnant sun.
The orange-red high light stirred the dust of the sky, locked the four fields at dusk, and the sky and the earth were quiet under the evening sun, and it was not obvious that there was a great chaos.
He walked slowly, Xiao Qi followed him, pacing with him, his eyes kept staring at him all the time.
"How long have I been asleep?" Lin Shouxi asked.
"Two days." Xiao Qi said.
"How is Xiao He?" Lin Shouxi asked.
"Miss Xiao He's injury is not light, but after all, she is the future servant of the Wu family, the head of the family personally gave her a purple gold pill, and now Miss Xiao He's injury has healed, you don't have to worry too much." Xiao Qi said.
"That's good."
The last trace of doubt in Lin Shouxi's eyes disappeared.
"Heh, but what does it have to do with you when she's injured?"
Xiao Qi looked at his indifferent appearance, and anger rose in his heart, "After tonight, she is the god servant of the Wu family, I heard that the eldest prince has appointed her, although you are good-looking, but the eldest prince is the real immortal, after Xiao He becomes the god of the eldest prince, I will not think about you anymore." ”
"You tried your best to save her, but in the end you could only become a stranger, and your road is still Huangquan Road!"
Xiao Qi's words were not all sarcasm, but also with a hint of gritted hatred.
Lin Shouxi seemed to have lost his expression, and the dim light roamed on his cheeks, but it couldn't stir up the slightest ripple of emotion.
"Can you tell me about the three young ladies of the Wu family?" Lin Shouxi asked.
Out of pity for the dying person, Xiao Qi did not refuse, he gave Lin Shouxi a general description of the situation of the three sons and daughters of the Wu family.
"The third lady can rarely be seen, so many years, I have only seen once, she looks average, but she always feels that she is so beautiful that the country and the city, I heard that she often asks some people about her beauty, if the people answer that she is not satisfied, she will die a miserable death." Xiao Qi gritted his teeth and said.
"You seem to hate her, did you have a friend who died at her hands?" Lin Shouxi asked.
"We almost died at her hands!"
"Huh?"
"Two days ago, the stone gate opened a little late, and we were almost all killed by dragon corpses...... Do you know what Yun Zhenren is going to do? ”
Xiao Qi sneered and asked himself: "The strings of the third lady's magic instrument are loose, let Yun Zhenren help with the tuning." ”
"Is it delayed because of such a trivial matter?" Lin Shouxi also felt a little ridiculous.
"yes, a string almost killed us all."
Xiao Qi was so angry that his words trembled: "The most angry thing is that the third lady didn't care about it afterwards, and even said that the Demon Killing Courtyard is all minions, and it doesn't matter if they die, just change another batch." ”
Lin Shouxi was silent.
Xiao Qi calmed down and continued: "The second son's cultivation talent is good, but he is extravagant, he likes to collect all kinds of treasures, and he has to wear different clothes every day, he is tired of dirty, so he will never come to a place like the Demon Killing Courtyard." As for the eldest prince......"
"The eldest prince must be the reincarnation of an immortal!"
Xiao Qi said firmly, and his eyes involuntarily showed a look of yearning.
"Why?" Lin Shouxi asked.
"The eldest prince is not only handsome, British and beautiful, but more importantly, he is the greatest genius of the Wu family in three hundred years, legend has it that he has been practicing since his mother's womb, and when he was born, his hand was sealed with a mysterious seal, and he held a colorful fetal bead in his mouth." The look of admiration on Xiao Qi's face was difficult to hide.
"The eldest prince is not only extremely high in cultivation, but also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, he even said that although the Wu family is big, it is just a small cage in the world. One day, he will go to the ancestral mountain, worship the ancestral hall, and become a fellow of the patriarch. ”
Xiao Qi sighed: "He is also very good to his subordinates. Although he is arrogant, he is never arrogant, what is such a person who is not an immortal? When you see the eldest prince, you should be ashamed of yourself. ”
Lin Shouxi was noncommittal, and asked again: "Does the Wu family only have three heirs?" Does the head of the family have no other children? ”
"I heard that there was another birth, and it was that baby who caused the turmoil more than ten years ago, and finally ...... The baby was pecked to death by a demon bird that had escaped from the witch family. ”
Xiao Qi said: "But the Wu family is not allowed to mention this matter, I am just a minion, and I can't tell you more." ”
Lin Shouxi nodded.
There can only be three descendants of the Wu family's gods, so when there are already three children, the fourth will inevitably become the target of public criticism, and it is very likely that he will be killed.
Coincidentally, there are also four priests.
"Thank you for telling me this." Lin Shouxi thanked him.
"Don't thank me. There is nothing wrong with having a meal of meat before the prisoner is killed, answering some of your questions, and making you die a blinding death. Xiao Qi said lightly.
The crimson sunset gradually sank into the distant mountains, and the brocade-like glow still floated on the horizon, making its last passionate burn.
The night like water swallowed unstoppably.
Lin Shouxi unconsciously walked under the white wall.
The battle with the dragon corpse looked very fierce, and many of the blood stains on the walls had not yet been wiped away, and many people were building high ladders to repair some of the damage. The nearby courtyard walls were also much destroyed, and the brick slabs on the ground were covered with cobweb-like cracks.
Xiao Qi also looked at the white wall, he looked at the stone door that was locked by spells, and it was still hard to imagine how they pushed it open at that time.
Suddenly, a group of teenagers and girls ran over from the Demon Killing Courtyard.
Xiao Qi was taken aback, "What are you going to do?" ”
Almost all the survivors of the Demon Killing Courtyard have inherited the kindness of Lin Shouxi and Xiao He.
Lin Shouxi looked at the person who came, and finally showed a smile.
The young men led by Ah Shi stopped in front of Lin Shouxi, and Xiao Qi strode forward and stopped in front of Lin Shouxi, "He is not from our Demon Killing Courtyard now, he is the one who went to the Night Pavilion." ”
"I know, we're just here to express it...... Gratitude. ”
Ah Shi said seriously, and the young people and girls who followed nodded their heads one after another, most of them had said bad things about Lin Shouxi and expressed their disdain for him, but they were all happy and convinced of him at the moment, they came together after hearing that Lin Shouxi was beaten into the Night Pavilion, and it was the last time they saw him.
Xiao Qi looked at their sad and generous looks, and also got out of the way, just said, "Don't delay too much." ”
Lin Shouxi looked at them and said, "I have received your wishes, keep the things for yourself, there is no need to give me a dead man." ”
"Dead people?" Ah Eleven was shocked, "Did you really give up......"
"Yun Zhenren said that I will definitely die."
"But we always feel that you must have a way." Ah Shi said solemnly: "Because it's you, there must be a way." ”
"I've let you down, I can't help it." Lin Shouxi said.
The boys and girls looked at each other and whispered, and they didn't want to accept this fact.
"Lin Shouxi!"
Ah Shi's eyes were sincere, "I have discussed privately with Twelve and Thirteen, no matter what you do, we are willing to help you, although we are slaves, but slaves are also righteous, our lives are saved by you, and you should be yours!" ”
Lin Shouxi looked at Ah Shi and smiled, "I'm very moved. ”
Ah Shi stared at him, his eyes flickering, still expecting something.
Lin Shouxi shook his head, "My realm has been sealed, I can't do anything, you go back and rest." ”
The anticipation in Ah Shi's eyes turned into disappointment, and the other disciples behind him were also depressed when they heard this.
The gifts they had prepared failed to deliver, so they lined up to salute Lin Shouxi and thank him, and Lin Shouxi stood quietly, listening to them finish each thank-you.
Twenty-nine also survived, he limped to Lin Shouxi, and wanted to kneel, but was helped up by him.
Xiao Qi watched this scene from the sidelines, a little jealous, as if a pack of wolves were watching the old king go on an expedition.
Everyone gradually left, the night was cooler, the thin moon hung coldly in the long sky, and a beam of light fell on his black clothes, as if frost had been applied to him.
"Let's go."
After all the disciples left, Xiao Qi said, "The Wu family has been standing here for three hundred years, even the dragon corpse has not been able to break through this white wall, even if you have something special, it is not a big deal for the entire Wu family." ”
"Hmm."
Lin Shouxi glanced at the sky when he left, and said, "There will be heavy rain tonight." ”
"Tonight, the moon and stars are sparse, and there are no clouds, how can there be rain?" Xiao Qi shook his head, "I think you're really crazy." ”
He returned to the Pavilion and entered the dilapidated thatched house, closing his eyes and recuperating.
Time kept passing, and Xiao Qi became more and more at ease.
In the blink of an eye, the moon passed in the middle of the sky.
"The ritual of the selection of the priest should have ended, everything seems to be going well, nothing has happened." Xiao Qi said.
"Hmm."
"Xiao He should have become the god servant of the eldest prince, she will soon be impressed by the demeanor of the eldest prince, and completely forget about you, a cheap senior brother."
Xiao Qi sneered impatiently, he was disgusted with the indifferent look on Lin Shouxi's face, and he wanted to smash this hypocritical expression: "You are a good person, and you are also beautiful, but you are still too far away from a real immortal like the eldest prince, you ...... Resign yourself to your fate. ”
The sky outside suddenly darkened.
It was a dark cloud coming in.
Xiao Qi poked his head out to look and found that the sky above was already cloudy, and after a few lightning and thunder, the raindrops fell down, and in a blink of an eye, it was already surging.
Xiao Qi listened to the noisy rain, was stunned, and asked, "Do you still look at the sky?" ”
"I understand a little."
"Can this rain change anything?" Xiao Qi asked.
Lin Shouxi didn't answer.
He sat by the window, watching the night silently.
He had waited for a heavy rain, but it was only rain, and this was not a place of long-term drought, and there was no need for rain.
No one knows what he is still waiting for.
Xiao Qi felt that he was just waiting for death, and he just wanted to maintain this indifference before death and walk decently, which may be his only pride in the end.
He sighed, and stopped mocking, waiting with him for the dawn.
The Night Pavilion was in the extremely remote location of the Wu family, and all night, they could only hear the noisy rain and the endless thunder.
No matter how long the night is, it will pass.
Dawn.
Yun Zhenren arrived as scheduled.
He resembles a ghost, and his cheeks are white like a ghost.
"It's on its way." Xiao Qi patted him on the shoulder and said.
Lin Shouxi looked at Yun Zhenren.
Yun Zhenren stretched out his hand, but instead of pulling out the wooden sword, he took out a silver-cast card.
"This is your god card." Yun Zhenren said.
Divine Attendant Cards?!
How could you give Lin Shouxi a god card? Xiao Qi froze in place.
He quickly understood, and hurriedly asked, "Who died?" Ji Luoyang is still Wang Erguan......"
"None of them." Yun Zhenren said.
"Could that be Xiao ......" Xiao Qi was shocked and speechless.
Yun Zhenren glanced at him, and he was so frightened that he immediately silenced.
Lin Shouxi took the god card, "Thank you for the real person." ”
Yun Zhenren asked, "You already knew?" ”
Lin Shouxi didn't answer.
Yun Zhenren sighed and said, "From now on, you will be the eldest lady's divine servant." ”
"Miss? Where did the eldest lady of the Wu family come from? "Xiao Qi is very confused.
Lin Shouxi didn't pay attention to Xiao Qi's crazy muttering, he hummed, put down the god card, and asked:
"Her real name?"
"Wu Youhe."
