Chapter Forty-Six: Book Sword Enmity
In the old world, the hundred-footed white-bearded headless fish and the hundred-scaled, hundred-eyed four-legged snake came out with a book, opening the era of cultivation, and the battle of the demon path also came from this.
The Daomen believed that Xiuzhen was an irreversible destiny and should be done according to the heavens, while the Demon Gate believed that it was a means of invasion by the evil gods, a deception, and should be abolished.
The two factions fought for sixty years.
Luo Shu was obtained by the Demon Gate, and it was something that the Daomen wanted to fight for, and the master gave it to himself before he died, and he swore that he would keep it with his life.
On the first day he came to this world, he found that Vena was missing.
He always suspected that Yun Zhenren took it, and in order to confirm the matter, he even deceived Vice President Sun, saying that his cultivation secret book was in Yun Zhenren's hands, and at that time he hoped that Vice President Sun could be greedy and go to test it to help him confirm the whereabouts of Luo Shu, but there was no news after that.
Now that he thinks about it, if Yun Zhenren really took the Luo Shu, or is interested in it, there is no need to hide it at all, he can stuff the mantra stone into his hand and ask what is going on.
But Yun Zhenren didn't do anything.
Vena Shu and Hetu are books that record the secret books of cultivation, and unlike ordinary secret books, those who have a spiritual vein only need to touch it to obtain a complete and subtle set of methods for exhaling true qi.
Master also commented on this matter, saying that it still takes decades of hard work to forge the body and refine the bones, but since the Hetuluo book came out of the water, such an immortal thing as Xiuzhen can only touch the pages of the book, which is too easy, so it is not normal, and the person who wrote the book is afraid that they will not be able to learn and practice! The day when all the people become immortals is the time when the demons invade.
Now after seeing the means of people pouring divine turbidity into beasts in order to cultivate demons, Lin Shouxi is a little more convinced of his master's words.
He must retrieve Vena.
Lin Shouxi stared at Wang Erguan, the coldness in his eyes did not retreat, staring at this little fat man in shock.
"Vena? What Vena? What are you talking about? ”
Wang Erguan shook his head and waved his hand, indicating that he had no idea.
But he is a person who can't hide his emotions, and when this question suddenly comes up, the panic in his eyes is as obvious as the flickering candle flame in a dark room.
Lin Shouxi didn't explain the origin of the name 'Luoshu' for him, just stared at Wang Erguan and continued:
"That's the secret you said in the Pool, isn't it? When you were in the ancient court, in order to win over Ji Luoyang, you secretly shared Luo Shu with him, so on the first night, Ji Luoyang obviously competed with you, but then you suddenly became friends, this is a secret between the two of you, right? ”
"You, what the hell are you talking nonsense?" Wang Erguan gritted his teeth and asked sternly.
Lin Shouxi closed his eyes, and he continued to deduce from his guess......
He and the Zhan Gong Sword were both found under the cliff, and it stands to reason that after Yun Zhenren came to the altar and scooped him up from the bottom of the cliff from the unconscious, they would have absolutely no chance to steal under Yun Zhenren's nose.
Therefore, the matter of stealing Luo Shu should have happened before Yun Zhenren arrived, and he should still be on the altar at that time!
Before, he only knew that he had fallen from the altar, but it was Xiao He who poked his head out and took a look and found him. But why is he the only one under the altar of more than ten teenagers and girls?
Now that I think about it, there was one more thing that was missing - someone pushed him off the altar!
"It turned out that I didn't accidentally fall, but was pushed down." Lin Shouxi ignored Wang Erguan's pretending to be crazy and stupid, and said quietly, "Who did it?" You? Ji Luoyang? Still is...... Your dead brother Wang Ji? ”
Wang Erguan's face became more and more pale, and the children could see that Lin Shouxi had guessed it again.
In the ancient court, he was glared at by Lin Shouxi, who was seriously injured and had not recovered, at that time he was very frightened, at this time Lin Shouxi returned to his peak, Wang Erguan was forced to look at him, only to feel as if he was staring at a pool of blue pool water, and at any time a monster would jump out and drag it into the pool and hang it.
The fear overwhelmed him, he stepped back, his heel hit the foot of the table, his body shook, and he subconsciously blurted out: "I didn't do it!" ”
"Who are you not?" Lin Shouxi approached step by step, and continued, "No one can protect you for a lifetime, this is thousands of miles away from the Wang family, your family can't help you, and after the Great Ceremony of the Gods, Yun Zhenren will also abandon you like a shoe, and the gods are just slaves in the final analysis, and no one will care about your life or death." ”
Wang Erguan swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice: "Lin Shouxi! You don't think you can scare me with just a few words......"
Wang Erguan wanted to be strong, but he couldn't, he couldn't help but recall the cynicism he had about Lin Shouxi in the past, and now it seems that he was dancing on the tip of a knife at that time......
There really isn't a good person in this shabby place of poor mountains and bad waters!
Lin Shouxi didn't pay attention to what he said at all, and after figuring it out a little, many problems were solved.
"The sooner you wake up, the higher your cultivation should be, I am seriously injured and will not heal, Xiao He self-styled cultivation, among the rest of the people, your talent is the best among them." Lin Shouxi looked at Wang Erguan and asked, "How long do you want to hide?" ”
"I said it wasn't me!" Wang Erguan yelled.
"So what happened then?" Lin Shouxi asked.
Wang Erguan's lips were tightly closed, his body trembled, and finally he said coldly: "Hmph, I, Wang Erguan, am not a big fool, a person with secrets, after the secret is said, it is worthless, so it is easier to die, if I want to save my life, I should not say anything." ”
"Well, you're smart." Lin Shouxi nodded and said.
Wang Erguan nodded proudly.
Even in such a desperate situation, he still felt quite happy when he heard someone praise him.
"I can never blame the past." Lin Shouxi said suddenly.
"Want to deceive people again?" Wang Erguan said, "I'm not Xiao He, I won't be deceived by your beauty, you look honest, but in fact, there are many lies, and ghosts don't believe it!" ”
Lin Shouxi was surprised, thinking that this little fat man was quite accurate in seeing people......
"I'm serious." Lin Shouxi said: "I have only one condition. ”
"What?" Wang Erguan asked subconsciously.
"Give me back the Vena book." Lin Shouxi stretched out his hand.
He had roughly guessed the scene on the altar that day, that someone should have woken up first, and saw a young man and girl who were unconscious all over the ground, and that person had a bad idea, planning to collect money and kill people and throw their bodies, and his face was outstanding among the crowd, attracting envy and hatred, so he bore the brunt of being thrown off the cliff.
After he was thrown down, another disciple happened to wake up, and the act of killing and throwing corpses was interrupted, so he became the only victim.
Of course, this is just conjecture, if Wang Erguan doesn't want to say, he will never know what happened that day.
The murderer may be Wang Erguan, maybe Ji Luoyang, or someone who has died...... This is not important for the time being, the top priority is to let Vena Shu fall into the pocket.
"I won't hold a grudge against you for stealing, on the contrary, I will be grateful to you for keeping it for me for so long, you have won over Ji Luoyang with Luoshu, you can use it to win me over again, you should have learned the mental method on Luoshu, and that book is no longer valuable to you. You don't have to pay anything, and I'm a grateful person. ”
In order to convince Wang Erguan that he knew how to repay this matter, Lin Shouxi gave an example:
"When I knew that Xiao He saved me, I taught her swordsmanship, taught her martial arts, and protected her everywhere when she was in the pool of evil, you should see it. At that time, Xiao Heke hadn't shown his true face and identity, and I wasn't greedy for anything...... I'm a good person. ”
Lin Shouxi's words were calm, sounding reasonable.
Wang Erguan was shaken, and he stared at Lin Shouxi with a change in expression.
"I'm telling the truth, please believe me, I don't hold anyone accountable for harming me, I just want that book." Lin Shouxi said sincerely: "It doesn't matter if it's lost, at least tell me where it was lost, and I will still thank you." ”
Lin Shouxi always stared at his eyes, the sense of oppression continued, and every word of Lin Shouxi was like a weight added to the scale.
In these stormy times, an extra friendship is always a guarantee, even if it is false.
Lin Shouxi does seem to be a person who can be trusted......
"What are you waiting for?" Lin Shouxi asked.
In the end, Wang Erguan sat on the chair in a dejected manner, and muttered softly in his heart: "It turns out that the book is called Luo Shu......"
This is a disguised admission.
Lin Shouxi also breathed a sigh of relief.
Previously, he keenly captured the idea of 'falling off the cliff', but speculation was just speculation, and he questioned Wang Erguan with this to just bluff him, he never thought that this little fat man was so uncomposed, and he was directly frightened to show his feet.
"Can you give it to me?" Lin Shouxi asked.
Wang Erguan raised his head, he looked at this calm and handsome face, and suddenly a fire burned in his heart, it was a flame mixed with anger and jealousy, he swooped up from his chair, and said with wide eyes:
"Lin Shouxi, do you really think you're smart, do you really think you can guess anything? I'm telling you, you're wrong! You're thinking one thing wrong! ”
Wang Erguan's face was crazy, he was suppressed by Lin Shouxi everywhere, extremely aggrieved, at this moment he couldn't bear it, and planned to point out the mistakes in his conjecture, so as to absorb his meager self-esteem and gain a sense of satisfaction from it!
But it also means that he has to tell the truth.
Lin Shouxi knew that he was impulsive, and he had to catch this impulse as well.
"How could my conjecture be wrong?" Lin Shouxi pretended to be arrogant to provoke him.
"Wrong is wrong! Lin Shouxi, you also have stupid times! Wang Erguan laughed, he took a deep breath, and said, "Actually, that day......"
Halfway through the words, footsteps rang out inopportunely.
The door suddenly opened.
The second son walked in, dressed in colorful and luxurious robes.
Lin Shouxi had already hidden in the shadows behind the wardrobe in time, and all the breath was gone.
The second son came at an inopportune time......
Wang Erguan quickly calmed down, he hurriedly saluted, and asked, "Childe, why did you suddenly ......?"
The second son hurriedly waved his hand, his expression was flustered, "Save me, save me, save me...... He's going to kill me......"
"Who's going to kill you?" Wang Erguan immediately asked: "Shouldn't Miss Xiaohe kill again?" ”
Apart from Xiao He, who else would kill the second son?
He was afraid that the second son's mouth would pop out of the mouth, 'It's Lin Shouxi who wants to kill me', which is just a hell of a life, and he will be scared to death directly.
The second son didn't say Lin Shouxi, but his words were still very scary:
"Yun Zhenren! It's Yun Zhenren who wants to kill me! ”
……
Wang Erguan soothed his emotions.
"Yun Zhenren wants to kill you?" Wang Erguan was puzzled.
"That's right!"
"That'...... Why is Childe still alive? Wang Erguan said curiously: "Did the son show his mastery and escape?" ”
"Nope! He let me go! The second son said tremblingly.
"Let you go? Yun Zhenren wants to kill me, how can he let you go? Wang Erguan was even more confused.
"What do you mean? You wish I was dead, did you? The second son was furious.
"......" Wang Erguan sighed: "I didn't mean that. ”
The stupid little fat man in front of Lin Shouxi is as clever as a resourceful military advisor in front of the second son.
Wang Erguan asked the second son to sit down, poured him a glass of water, calmed him down, and then asked slowly, "What happened?" Childe told me slowly, don't be in a hurry. ”
The second son dipped his fingers in some water, rubbed his temples, eased his nerves, and told him what had happened.
There is nothing special about the whole thing.
The second son was appreciating antiques in his house, Yun Zhenren knocked on the door and came in, chatted with him for a while, talked about the old family master and the eldest son, and then comforted him a few words, persuading him to work hard, and not to lose his mind in the future, and then Yun Zhenren left.
"This ...... Any questions? Wang Erguan was confused.
He didn't find anything strange about the process, and he almost fell asleep because the whole narrative was so boring.
"You don't understand!" The second son said mysteriously: "Yun Zhenren has never taken the initiative to come to me before!" ”
Except for the eldest prince and the head of the family, there is no one in the entire Wu family who can be looked up to by Yun Zhenren.
"Hmm...... The head of the family and the eldest prince are dead, you are the only son of this generation, Yun Zhenren is looking for you...... Nothing surprising, right? Wang Erguan pondered.
"No!" The second son said, "He wants to kill me!" I could feel that he had been talking to me for so long, and he had been hesitant to do it! I can feel it...... I almost died! ”
"......" Wang Er cared and thought, Yun Zhenren is easier to kill you than to kill a chicken, why hesitate?
"That's right! I also feel that Yun Zhenren has been cursed. The second son said solemnly.
"How could Yun Zhenren be cursed?" The more Wang Erguan listened, the more outrageous he felt, "He was cursed and he didn't know it, but let you see it?" ”
"The authorities are obsessed!" The second prince was firm in his thoughts, and he said in fear: "I also saw a cyan imp poking its head out from behind his shoulder...... But I didn't dare tell him. ”
Wang Erguan felt that the second son was crazy.
The death of the head of the family and the eldest son is a dark cloud that the wind cannot blow, it covers the top of his head, and becomes a shadow that the second son can never get out, and in such a shadow, he is quickly driven crazy.
But the second prince wanted to convince Wang Erguan.
He kept chanting that Yun Zhenren was going to kill him, and the fear in his eyes was like ink that kept blurring, getting dirtier and dirtier.
Lin Shouxi, who was hiding in the shadows, was also a little impatient.
The eldest son, the second son, and the third lady, each one is more stupid than the other, and giving birth to Xiao He is afraid that it will take all the luck of the Wu family.
Just as Lin Shouxi was trying to find a way to leave quietly, the second son shouted again:
"That's right! Sword! Yun Zhenren changed a sword, he didn't carry that wooden sword! He wanted to stab me to death! ”
"......" Wang Erguan didn't know what to say.
"He wants to kill me!!" The second son shouted heartbreakingly.
"Childe is tired, I'll help you go to rest." Wang Erguan sighed and raised his palm, as if trying to stun him.
The Succession Ceremony was about to begin, and he just wanted to get through it quickly.
Before the knife fell, the cabinet behind him suddenly exploded, Lin Shouxi didn't know what to stimulate, swept out of the door, turned into a black line, and quickly disappeared into the rain.
"You...... Someone in your house? The second son was furious: "You want to harm me? ”
Wang Erguan slashed down with his sword, and the second son fainted.
He looked out the door, looked in the direction where Lin Shouxi disappeared, and muttered, "Why are you crazy?" ”
Wang Erguan felt that the second son was going crazy, but the second son's seemingly crazy words gave Lin Shouxi an extremely important revelation.
When the second son mentioned the 'sword', a detail flashed through his mind, and a chill swelled up.
He remembered the origin of this sword recorded in the Sword Pavilion......
Lin Shouxi quickly jumped off the tall building, stepped on the stone slab, bent his knees, and his figure split the rain line, and swept to Xiao He's downstairs in a blink of an eye.
He rushed upstairs as fast as he could, the footsteps alarmed Xiao He, who had just fallen asleep, Xiao He sat up from the couch, rubbed his eyes, and before he could reprimand anything, the door opened, Lin Shouxi flashed into the house, quickly closed the door, and his eyes met Xiao He's sleepy eyes.
"What do you want to do in my room in the middle of the night? Could it be that he was ready to commit the following crimes? Xiao He folded his arms on his chest, stared at him faintly, and said, "I knew you were a hypocrisy!" ”
If it was usual, Lin Shouxi would definitely sneer back, but at this moment, he didn't have the leisure to do so.
"That sword was brought into the Wu family by Yun Zhenren!" Lin Shouxi said.
"What sword?" Xiao He didn't wake up, and he was still a little confused.
"Blood-snatching sword! In the records of the Sword Pavilion, the blood-snatching sword was brought into the Wu family by Yun Zhenren! Lin Shouxi repeated.
Although the window was closed, the drizzle outside seemed to pour into my eyes, turning into a cold mist flowing in my heart.
Xiao He was stunned, and then, she quickly figured out the joints, and the hand pressed on her thigh was pinched tightly, and the precious fabric was wrinkled.
"Blood...... Bloodthirsty ......," she murmured softly.
There is a blood demon hidden in the sword, which can suck the blood of people.
Isn't the so-called blood-snatching the meaning of stealing people's blood?
Immortals like Yun Zhenren have endured in the Wu family for a hundred years, how can they really just repay a favor?
Outside the window, thunder lit up.
At the moment when the sky and the earth were clear, Lin Shouxi and Xiao He looked out together.
The lightning flashed, but they still saw it...... A figure was reflected on the wooden lattice door!
The thunder came belatedly.
Yun Zhenren has arrived outside the door.
