Yun Zhenren looked at the white wall and talked about what he saw in the pool.

He followed the traces of the dragon's corpse to find the ice field, and there was indeed a dark river under the ice field, and he dived into the dark river and successfully came to the stone chamber.

The arrangement in the stone chamber was as Lin Shouxi described, with corpse bones hanging in the middle, covered with gray mist, and the remnants of the headless evil spirit that had been bitten by the dragon corpse were also swept back to the stone chamber by the undercurrent.

At the end of the stone chamber there is a small groove, and there are many dots on the stone in the groove, like traces sucked out by a suction cup.

But the evil spirit was gone.

"If you're not lying, then the evil spirit should have woken up, and it left the pool of evil and disappeared." Yun Zhenren's words were full of melancholy.

Lin Shouxi and Xiao He glanced at each other, both a little puzzled.

According to the stone wall, it takes twenty bones for the evil spirit to come back to life, but ......

"Let's hope it went somewhere else along the river."

Yun Zhenren was so tired that he didn't bother to think about it, closed his eyes, and turned his back.

Lin Shouxi's expression froze - a cyan imp was lying on Yun Zhenren's back, grinning at him, revealing a cruel smile.

The cyan ghost flashed away, and even made him feel that this was just an illusion caused by his recent trance, and he wanted to open his mouth to remind Yun Zhenren, but Yun Zhenren walked out of the courtyard in a blink of an eye and disappeared into the drizzle.

"I'm a little worried." Xiao He said.

"Hmm."

Lin Shouxi nodded, it was no accident that the evil spirit appeared in the evil pool, maybe it was also related to the inheritance of the god of guarding.

Following the imminent ceremony of the gods, the divine court is about to open, but the undercurrent is still turbulent, and the monsters hidden in it are far from revealing their true faces.

According to Xiao He's judgment, the grade of that evil spirit is definitely not low, and it may even be a small evil god......

They didn't have a clue and left the Demon Slayer Courtyard together.

"By the way, I've always had a doubt." Lin Shouxi spoke.

"What?"

"How the hell did we get here?"

Lin Shouxi asked: "The god of the town guard opened the altar before he died, but how do you know that you will be pulled by the altar to the witch family?" ”

Xiao He looked at Lin Shouxi, and also showed a puzzled look, "You really don't know?" ”

"......" Lin Shouxi shook his head.

"For I have worshipped the image of the god of the town."

Xiao He explained: "The god of town guarding is not just pulling people, huh...... All gods don't pick random people, and generally speaking, they only call their own believers. I am the fourth lady of the Wu family, and my aunt has long told me that there will be this day, so I worshiped the statue of Lord Zhenshou when I was a child. ”

Xiao He's eyes rolled and looked at Lin Shouxi intently, "What?" Haven't you worshipped? There's no need to hide anything in front of me. ”

The idol of the town keeper?

Lin Shouxi didn't have any impression that in the past sect, he only worshipped the black phoenix.

Wait a minute......

He suddenly remembered the god in the dead city.

Could it be that?

Is it the god of the witch family's guards......

At this thought, there seemed to be a flash of thunder and lightning in his mind, illuminating his thoughts in an instant.

'On the idol of the god of the guard, there are two sword marks. ’

The words that Yun Zhenren had said reappeared faintly in his mind, and he once again remembered the Zhan Palace in the Sword Pavilion, and his thoughts froze, and he finally grasped the key.

Those two sword marks, could it be that he and Mu Shijing did it......

On that night of the rainstorm, they killed the god of the witch family's town guard!

But how could it be in their strength......

Was it the power suppressed by the god of the town when he tried to come to the new world?

Or is someone else in the dark making a move?

He didn't get an answer for the time being.

"What are you thinking?" Xiao He stretched out his hand and shook it in front of him.

"Nothing." Lin Shouxi said: "I really can't remember what gods I worshipped. ”

"Hmph, you don't remember anything." Xiao He expressed dissatisfaction with his forgetfulness.

"Why did Wang Erguan and Ji Luoyang never talk about it?" Lin Shouxi asked again.

"Hey, is my priest really a pig's brain? Or do you really know nothing? ”

Xiao He was angry, she crossed her arms around her chest, looked Lin Shouxi up and down, and said, "If you weren't born like a dog, I would have suspected that you were not from this world." ”

Lin Shouxi was stunned, he smiled gently, and asked, "Do you think I'm an immortal outside the sky?" ”

"Less gibberish." Xiao He scoffed.

Xiao He pursed his lips and got down to business: "The evil god is one of the biggest enemies of our human race, and worshipping the evil god is absolutely not allowed, only some evil sects will do it in private, and delusionally want to release the god they believe in from the seal of the sea." ”

"Therefore, Wang Erguan and Ji Luoyang will never admit that they have worshiped the evil god, because this matter itself is enough to execute them." Xiao He explained seriously.

"The god of the guard is an evil god?" Lin Shouxi was a little surprised.

"Of course not." Xiao He said: "According to the records of the ancestor of the Wu family, the god of the town guard was once the lord of the earth who ruled one side, and he killed countless evil spirits, and was one of the upright ancient gods. ”

"Then why ......"

"Ugly."

Xiao He knew what he was going to ask, "Although it is not very good to talk about the gods, the statue of the god of the town guard is indeed like a stump, and it is difficult to explain it, similar to the evil god, and the god of the town guard does not seem to be recorded in the scroll of manifestation, so the people of the sacred mountain will mistakenly think that this is the evil god." ”

"I see." Lin Shouxi felt a little funny, he said: "Even if it is a righteous god, it will be mistaken for an extraterritorial demon because of its appearance, so if the extraterritorial demon is born beautiful, will it be worshiped as a god?" ”

"......" Xiao He looked at him with distrust, "You can't really be a demon, right?" ”

"It's too embarrassing for an extraterritorial demon to be a priest of a fourteen-year-old girl." Lin Shouxi smiled and shook his head.

"What's a shame on being my godservant?" Xiao He's expression was sharp, and he went to pinch his ears again, "You explain it to me clearly!" ”

The two walked away along the rain street, and in the demon killing courtyard behind, the disciples cautiously poked their heads out, looked at their distant backs, and lowered their voices, you and I communicated sentence by sentence.

"The eldest lady seems to be very fierce, will Lin Gongzi be ...... in the future?"

"You know what, Miss will only be so fierce to those close to you."

"Yes, after going through so much, it's time for them to achieve positive results......

"But Miss is only fourteen years old."

"It's normal to get married at the age of fourteen......

"yes, they're really good-looking."

These words would not have been heard by Xiao He in the past, but at this moment, she is no longer suppressing the realm, and with the spiritual root of sound, she can naturally hear them clearly.

Her pretty face was slightly red, and the hand that pulled Lin Shouxi's ears was also loosened, her soft hands were twisted in front of her, the girl's chin was lowered, her eyelashes were drooping, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

The two walked casually in the Wu family like this, and in the eyes of others, they were a couple who fell in love for the first time.

Mourning can be heard in the rain alley.

Lin Shouxi listened to the music and looked at the snow-haired shawl girl beside him, and his heartbeat inevitably accelerated.

He is fifteen years old this year, and he is also the age when the flesh and blood are just beginning to fall in love, although he thinks that eros is a meaningless thing, but it should be okay to experience it...... There is nothing wrong with the young Muse, let alone a girl who has experienced life and death together?

Is this kind of affection that has never been felt before......

No, the situation on all sides is not yet clear, and this is not the time to think about it.

Lin Shouxi took a deep breath and felt that such a self was not like himself, and a true cultivator should be as clear as ice and the sky was not shocked...... Well, it must be the Hehuan Sect that I practiced in the past that is causing trouble, and I already know that I don't practice it......

What's more, she didn't know about the Heartless Curse yet.

What would she be like if she knew...... Lin Shouxi didn't dare to think about it.

Xiao He's footsteps stopped.

Lin Shouxi followed.

The music is far away, and there is no one around the rainy alley, only the young girls and the bamboo umbrellas they support.

Xiao He raised his head and stood on tiptoe slightly, as if asking for something.

"What's wrong?" Lin Shouxi was stunned.

"......" Xiao He's broken red lips seemed to open and close, her nose moved slightly, her tiptoes fell, and she said, "It's nothing, I just think that you are getting better and better." ”

"Really?"

"Hmm......" Xiao He was really a little angry: "You elm head, you should knock the wooden fish every day!" ”

After speaking, Xiao He walked forward quickly.

Lin Shouxi realized that he seemed to be missing something.

He hurriedly followed.

The moment of silence seemed to be an illusion, Xiao He's hands in front of her hung back to her side, she looked ahead, and her expression returned to tranquility.

Before they knew it, they had come to the door of the Wu family's hall again.

In front of the wordless stone stele, Xiao He stopped.

"This is my mother's tombstone and mine, they both thought I was dead." Xiao He said.

"In the future, my tombstone will be erected here." Lin Shouxi remedied Fang Cai's mistake in time.

Xiao He snorted lightly and said, "You are my personal servant, of course, you must not leave an inch." ”

Lin Shouxi looked at the stone painting above.

He had already paid attention to the stone painting.

In the painting, the pale dragon spreads its wings, and the people below it bow their heads.

"You don't even know it, do you?" Xiao He sighed.

"I know, it's a dragon......" Mr. Lin said.

"......" Xiao He looked at him helplessly, and patiently explained: "This is recorded in the scroll of manifestation, the most powerful dragon in the primeval period, according to legend, in the era when the evil god was not born, it was the only master of heaven and earth, the king of ten thousand dragons, the condensation of all laws, and the immeasurable god. We don't know his real name, but he just means that he is pale. ”

"Pale ......" Lin Shouxi asked, "Since it is such an unshakable existence, where did it go later?" ”

"Went under Fuso."

"Fuso?"

Lin Shouxi has heard of this name, this is a sacred tree recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas, and it is said that it is 2,000 zhang high and more than 2,000 feet long.

Could it be that Fuso is not just a legend, but a real sacred tree in this world?

"Well, Fuso is an ancient sacred tree, legend has it that it is the beginning of all things, the only origin of the world, it is said that the Pale King was later trapped under Fuso by the nameless force, day and night gnawing on the roots of the Fuso tree, trying to get out of it, its scale armor gradually turned black, polluted the earth, its blood seeped out of the soil, and merged into a poisonous spring......"

Xiao He said about the distant past, and his words were leisurely, "But these are just widely circulated stories, what happened in the primeval period, where did the Pale King go, where did Fusang go, where did the dragon corpse come from, and who sealed the evil god...... These are still unsolved puzzles. ”

Heaven and earth are incomparably far away, and the place they are in is only a hidden corner of the vast world.

Lin Shouxi looked at the huge stone wall and looked at the giant dragon that the human ancestors knelt down, and also felt a slight sense of powerlessness.

The two left the mural, walked to the back of the main hall.

There are two pure black side halls at the back of the main hall, and there is a well in front of the hall, and the well is engraved with the word 'town guard'.

In the middle of the two wells stands a big ding, the big ding is flat and stable, and the light is silent.

"What is such a copper tripod for?"

Lin Shouxi looked at the big tripod in front of the hall and asked, "There seems to be such a tripod in the ancient court."

"This is the alchemy furnace."

Xiao He explained: "Pills such as the Jade Liquid Pill are refined based on this. ”

"Alchemy? Is there a dedicated alchemist? ”

"You don't need an alchemist, you can try it yourself, open the furnace, and then press your hand here to run the internal strength method."

The corners of Xiao He's lips were raised, and he said with a smile: "Of course, alchemy is very skillful, and people like you who have never practiced it are likely to fail." ”

"It's funny." Lin Shouxi said.

"It won't be interesting when you refine the Waste Pill again and again." Xiao He sneered lightly.

Lin Shouxi really wanted to try it.

He approached the furnace, the shape of this furnace is similar to that in the ancient court, all of them are large copper furnaces with cloud and thunder patterns, three legs, three beast mouths, hollowed out on eight sides, and one of them is pitch black.

Xiao He walked up to him and taught him how to use the Ding furnace hand in hand.

Xiao He condensed a grain of spark on his fingertips with his true qi, and shot into the furnace between the bullets, and the chamber suddenly brightened.

"Hold your hands here." Xiao He pointed to a dragon head and said.

Lin Shouxi held the dragon head in his hand.

In an instant, a wonderful force hooked the furnace with his body, the temperature of the furnace was rising, the temperature of his body was gradually rising, closing his eyes, his consciousness was a picture of a raging fire, in the center of the flame, there seemed to be a grain of true yuan waiting to be condensed.

"Don't you need to pour in herbs?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"Alchemy is not alchemy. Dan is taken in the stone, the copper furnace in the Dan itself is a precious magic stone, you think about your familiar mind, the Dan furnace runs, the flame will be like a blade to cut off the stone chips, wrap your heart true meaning, condense into a true Dan. ”

Xiao He is like a good teacher, giving careful guidance.

Lin Shouxi has high talent and high understanding, and he can understand it at one point.

Familiar Mind......

He silently recited the key to the heart method and entered it into the Dan furnace, and the raging fire in the Dan furnace began to beat, burning more and more.

Xiao He showed a different color, and then sank his face angrily, as if he was deeply dissatisfied with his extremely high talent.

If it goes on like this, how can I justifiably call him a stupid person in the future?

The black pill reversed, and the true air flowed all over his body, and he felt that he was in the bright light of fire, taking the red fire essence as a seed and piecing it together into a circle.

Rumble!

Like a blazing fire, the red and white flame suddenly rose in the furnace, and then went out.

Then, one of the beast's heads opened its mouth.

Xiao He took out an empty porcelain bottle out of nowhere, handed it to the mouth of the copper beast, and only heard a few clicks, and several small pills rolled out of it and slid into the porcelain bottle.

Xiao He took a look and found that these pills were in good condition.

She took one out and tried to make a few mockery of it, but she couldn't find any fault.

"Well, it's really good to be like this for the first time, and it deserves to be my divine servant...... What kind of pill are you refining? ”

Xiao He asked, pushing a pill to his lips, wanting to taste it.

"I want to be a happy pill." Lin Shouxi said.

Xiao He screamed, quickly retrieved the pill from between his lips, and threw it into the porcelain bottle.

She exasperated, "Are you serious or are you bluffing me?" ”

"Of course it's serious, it's the way I'm most sure of it." Lin Shouxi said calmly.

After listening to this, Xiao He felt that his body was indeed warmer...... Do you have such a reaction just by taking a sip?

"You still want to test me?" Xiao He asked.

"You're going to eat it yourself." Lin Shouxi shirked his responsibility.

"You ......" Xiao He said angrily: "What if I accidentally ate it just now?" ”

"I have the antidote."

"You still refine antidotes?"

"Nope."

"......" Xiao He was smart and clever, and quickly understood that this thing didn't seem to need to be specially refined for antidotes......

"You...... You really deserve to be born in the Evil Path. Xiao He handed the porcelain bottle back to him, "You can keep this thing for yourself, and if you encounter a female enemy in the future, you can feed her two grains." ”

"Female Nemesis......

Lin Shouxi caught the porcelain vase, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I won't see it in the future." ”

Xiao He immediately cast a suspicious gaze.

Lin Shouxi knew what she was thinking, and explained: "Don't think nonsense, although my old enemy is a little girl, she is born with five big and three thick, and she is far less beautiful than the eldest lady." ”

"Who cares about her looks?" Xiao He looked at him contemptuously and said, "You don't think I like you, do you?" ”

"......" Lin Shouxi smiled, put away the pill, and his expression suddenly calmed down.

"What's wrong?" Xiao He noticed his abnormality.

Lin Shouxi stared at her pale pupils, and her emotions were suppressed by the solemn color in her tone, "Xiao He, you tell me the truth, in the picture you foresaw, is that person me?" ”

"Huh?"

Xiao He then remembered that the whole world seemed to know that the foresight of Linggen was just a lie, but Lin Shouxi didn't know it yet!

At that time, he was locked up in the Night Pavilion......

Lin Shouxi waited quietly for her answer.

Xiao He looked at his delicate cheeks, but her eyes moved away like an electric shock, her already pale pupils suddenly became foggy, lost focus, mixed emotions poured in her heart, her red lips seemed to open and closed, after a long time, she cut her hair before continuing:

"Hmm...... It's you. ”

Since he doesn't know yet, let's continue to hide it from him...... So stupid, you deserve to be deceived by me......

The air between the two seemed to start flowing again.

Lin Shouxi asked, "Then what are you minding?" ”

"Ah......h

Xiao He couldn't stand the other party's menacing offensive, and was asked again at once, although she was delicate and arrogant on weekdays, but she had lived in the mountains for a long time, she hadn't even seen a serious living person, and she didn't have any experience in these.

This is not martial arts, you can see the moves, and she unknowingly fell behind.

Xiao He took a deep breath and asked rhetorically with the same momentum: "Are you going to succumb to fate like this?" ”

"Huh?"

This time it was Lin Shouxi's turn to be stunned.

Xiao He immediately regained her aura, she raised her head with her chest straight, patted Lin Shouxi's shoulder, and said: "Fate should be the traces of our walking, not the road imposed on us by some nameless thing, no matter how beautiful the established life is, it is also a shackle, we must break it and disobey it, this is the proof that we were born as a human being!" ”

"You...... Got it? Xiao He asked seriously.

Lin Shouxi nodded as if he didn't understand.

He was a little desperate, and he couldn't imagine what kind of life he would live with this arrogant little girl in the future.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about that."

Xiao He said, "I'll take you to the Wu family's secret room first." ”

"The witch's secret room?"

"Hmm." Xiao He's slightly red cheeks quickly turned cold, she calmed down, and said, "I'll show you why the Wu family raises so many birds and birds, and then let you know what it is—human cultivation of demons." ”
