Chapter Fifty-Six: A Thousand Years
The island of God's Domain.
This statue of Guanyin is much larger than the one in the dead city, and she has not yet been completely carved, and she is trapped in the mountain, as if she has supported the entire mountain with a thousand hands, and it is so big that it has lost its real feeling.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao He noticed his strangeness, and also looked back, she was also shocked by the colossus behind her.
Fortunately, the Guanyin in this heavenly standing looked like a dead thing, otherwise she could have crushed them to death as long as she raised her foot slightly.
Lin Shouxi couldn't explain his fear of the Guanyin statue to Xiao He, his mind stabilized a little, and asked, "Do you have such a statue here?" ”
"Yes...... I haven't seen it. Xiao He thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "This looks like a certain primeval true immortal." ”
As she spoke, she clasped her hands together and wanted to salute God, but Lin Shouxi held her hands and shook her head, "You said that you can't worship God casually. ”
"If you look like this, you can't be an evil god, right?" Xiao He said.
"You can't be pretty." Lin Shouxi said helplessly: "It's better to be safe." ”
"Well, that's right." Xiao He listened to him.
Crossing the trellis, the two continued to walk forward.
Looking down from the top of the hill earlier, they saw the Divine Court in the center from a distance, there was only one way to the Divine Court, and the rest of the place was shrouded in thick fog. There are triple turrets on the road.
Lin Shouxi and Xiao He came to the first door, and there were two words in front of the door: Don't look.
Don't look at what is indecent.
There is also a plaque hanging in the middle of the wooden carved dragon pillars on both sides, on which the rules are written.
Those who pass through this door need to cover each other's eyes with their hands, and do not look at the things in the building, and those who violate them will die.
The rules are simple and easy to do.
Lin Shouxi and Xiao He stretched out their hands and covered each other's eyes, Lin Shouxi was taller than Xiao He, so Xiao He needed to raise his hand, looking a little difficult.
"Or do you want to change your position?" Lin Shouxi asked.
Xiao He was puzzled, Lin Shouxi walked behind her and covered her eyes from behind, Xiao He needed to raise his hand higher and press back to suppress his eyes.
"Isn't that more tiring!" Xiao He said angrily.
Having said that, in this position, she leaned slightly against Lin Shouxi's strong chest, which gave her a sense of security, so she just complained and didn't say anything, and the two of them entered the door one after the other, walking neatly.
They felt that the surroundings were suddenly dark, and the sound of rustling sounded from time to time, as if someone was pointing at them and commenting on them.
When a person closes his eyes and walks a section of the road on flat ground, he will feel a strong sense of uneasiness after a few steps, let alone here.
Lin Shouxi and Xiao He were inevitably a little nervous, they didn't know where they were, and they didn't dare to open their eyes, there seemed to be ghosts lurking in the darkness around them, they were erratic, whispering strange words that they couldn't understand, and they couldn't be sure if the bricks under their feet were stable, if they stepped on the air or stepped on something sticky......
Just as he was thinking, a voice spoke: "Open your eyes." ”
The voice sounded like that of an old man, steady and peaceful, and the simple words were very convincing.
Xiao He had a desire to open his eyes, but Lin Shouxi pressed his hand tighter, he knew that this should be a means of confusion, so as to remind Xiao He.
Lin Shouxi silently recited the mantra of purifying his heart, getting rid of distracting thoughts, he and Xiao He walked for a while, the sound in his ears weakened, and the light shone through his fingers again, shining on his eyelids - they should have walked out.
Is it as simple as that...... Lin Shouxi wanted to open his eyes, but his toes were painful, and it was Xiao He stepping on him with his heels.
Lin Shouxi snorted painfully and came back to his senses, but found that the surroundings were still dark, and the whispers in his ears had never stopped.
"What's wrong with you? Why do you suddenly stand still? Xiao He asked in a low voice.
"I just didn't move?" Lin Shouxi asked in surprise.
"Why else am I stepping on your feet?" Xiao He said angrily.
Lin Shouxi was terrified in his heart, it turned out that what he had just felt was just an illusion, if it weren't for Xiao He's reminder, he almost let go of his hand!
"I see." Lin Shouxi said immediately.
"Got what?"
"One of us will always be awake, it could be you or me, and if one of us falls into the maze, the other will pull him out." Lin Shouxi said seriously: "This is a test of trust between us. ”
Xiao He nodded knowingly, thinking deeply.
Surveyed this point, the problem of the building is almost solved, they all maintain full trust in each other, no matter what kind of hallucination, the two of them have communicated again and again and decided, the only problem, in the second half of the line, the footsteps of the two are slightly disordered, Xiao He's shoes were almost stepped on, which makes the tacit understanding between them seem to be a fly in the ointment.
Finally walked out of the Beshio Building, the two let go of their hands, and the light shining on them was particularly cordial.
Lin Shouxi and Xiao He's cheeks both had red marks covered by each other's hands.
At the moment when he walked out of the building, Lin Shouxi vaguely heard someone talking behind him, and his words were sad: "You are finally here." ”
He turned around to see that the building was pitch black and there was no one in sight, and that sentence seemed to be just a lost illusion.
"It's not bad."
Xiao He obviously didn't hear anything, she praised it, and then pointed to her shoes, the shoes were stepped on by Lin Shouxi, and the tender white little feet were exposed, "Be careful in the future, you know?" ”
"I'll put it on for you."
Lin Shouxi took a look, skillfully picked her up, put her on the turtle on the side, he grabbed her little feet, took off her black cloth soft-soled shoes, the girl's body was slightly stiff, the beautiful arches of the feet were stretched, and the pink and white crystal toes were curled up, looking a little clumsy, he flattened the fabric of the heel and put it on for her again.
"Do you have any stockings here?" Lin Shouxi couldn't help but ask.
"......" Xiao He bit his lip and stared at him, "Imperial unloading? Is it to defend against evil demons like you? ”
As if he was in a word, Lin Shouxi was speechless.
"Hey, don't touch my feet......"
After a while, Xiao He suddenly shouted: "You go away, I'll come by myself!" ”
finally helped Xiao He put on his shoes, but Xiao He's face was still puffed up.
Then they entered the second gate.
Don't listen to the name of the door.
This time it's the ears that I have to cover.
"I don't know what kind of test it will be inside." Lin Shouxi was a little worried.
He probably understood the purpose of these gates, they were used to increase the tacit understanding between the gods and their masters, so that they could become true partners, but why did the god of the guard do this? Is it in charge of marriage?
Lin Shouxi became more and more curious.
"Don't worry, I have a magic method." Xiao He's sound spiritual root is full of confidence in Don't listen to the building.
Lin Shouxi also remembered the scene when he killed the fake Yun Zhenren in the evil pool, and couldn't help but ask, "What kind of spell is your control of the voice?" ”
Lin Shouxi also believed in foreseeing the spiritual root.
Xiao He thought about it, and Zhen Zhen said: "This is a Taoist method that is beyond the five elements of magic, called 'Crow Killing', legend has it that there is a fairy standing upstairs, tired of the noise of the roof crows, cast this spell, so that the world is silent......"
She said it well, and Lin Shouxi had no reason to doubt it.
Sure enough, the second building passed smoothly with the help of Xiao He, but the two were idle and bored along the way, so they touched each other's ears, Lin Shouxi was nothing, Xiao He's delicate ears were quite sensitive, and they were very hot all the way, and their small earlobes were as red as rubies.
"Don't look at indecent things, don't listen to indecent people...... Where is this not to see or listen, this is simply indecent manners! Xiao He was indignant.
After the Don't Listen Building is the last building, Don't Speak Building.
Don't say that there are only two words outside the building: don't say.
The building is a three-eaves building, the volley corridor connects the two lofts on the top of the double eaves, the pillars are straight, the roof tiles are black, it looks very ancient, if it weren't for Lin Shouxi to confirm that he was in the other world, he would think that he had strayed into a palace that had been reduced to ruins.
Lin Shouxi touched the pillars of the building, and there was not a trace of dust on them.
Xiao He stood straight, she was holding the sword on her back, her arms were wrapped around her chest, looking at this majestic building with a look of disdain, after the first two buildings, her red ears had not yet recovered, and at this moment she looked at the sign in front of the building, the girl's slender eyebrows frowned tighter, and only one rule was written, that is...... Hand in hand.
What kind of broken building is this? That's not how the relationship between the priest and the master is cultivated, right?
Xiao He felt desperate, and she became more and more convinced that the god of calm must be a matchmaker......
If it is a matchmaker, what will be the inheritance? Help people match, watch people get married, and then get cultivation from it?
Xiao He suddenly lost a lot of interest.
She glanced at Lin Shouxi, and when she saw Lin Shouxi's vivid appearance, she was ashamed and angry, kicked him lightly, and asked, "You seem to be very happy?" ”
Lin Shouxi explained: "Although these three buildings have ups and downs, there is no danger, which shows that what awaits us is not a demon, which is of course something to be happy about." ”
"Oh...... So you're thinking about this. ”
Xiao He nodded, said: "That's a little reasonable, but the god of the town guard is the god, according to the head of the Wu family to describe the scene in the dream, when the town guard is at the peak, sweeping away the evil is like stepping on ants, many lawless demons are not vulnerable under his hands, he lives at the bottom of Wuzhu Lake, dominates a mountain and river for thousands of years, the best time, Wuzhu Lake can see groups of unalienated fish, which is rare. ”
After finishing speaking, Xiao He paused, and his cheeks were filled with doubt, "I just don't know why such a powerful god is not recorded in the Manifestation Scroll." ”
"Could it be because it's changed?" Lin Shouxi asked.
"Well, it's possible." Xiao He pinched his jaw and said, "The little cliff lizard jumping into the sea may also turn into a terrifying dragon, and the town guard will manifest thousands of people, and the real body may also be in the scroll of manifestation, but we don't know." ”
"I've often heard you talk about the scroll of the Manifestation, that thing...... What is it? Lin Shouxi couldn't help but ask.
"This is the handwritten book of the 'Emperor' of the Temple."
Xiao He looked Lin Shouxi up and down, and said distressedly: "Which foreign heavenly demon are you?" Can you do some preparation before you come and get to know our customs here! ”
Xiao He couldn't help but hurt him, and was speechless about his stupid question.
"Definitely." Lin Shouxi smiled and said, "Our hometown is too remote, and we can't compare to Xiaohe's erudition and knowledge. ”
"Well, what a strange place you have in your hometown." Xiao He agreed.
"In the future, I will take Xiao He to go shopping, although it is remote, it is extremely beautiful." Lin Shouxi looked into her eyes and said seriously.
Xiao He looked elsewhere and replied casually: "Hmm...... Okay. ”
She didn't know what she was thinking, and looking upset, she calmly spread her hands and said, "Don't talk nonsense, let's go up." ”
It wasn't the first time they had held hands, but most of the past hand-in-hand holding had happened in dangerous moments, and now it was the first time that they had been so calm.
Lin Shouxi took her hand and squeezed it gently.
Xiao He's hands are boneless, she is naturally cold, so her little hands are also cold, her hands are much smaller than Lin Shouxi, but they are white and slender, her nails are crystal clear, with a faint flesh color, and there is a curved little moon in it.
Lin Shouxi's is carved like jade, with distinct bone joints, and a cocoon formed by holding a sword for a long time in the palm of his palm, but it is not rough, but has the warmth of a scholar.
The two held hands, and their expressions looked natural.
But in the final analysis, they are all just unemployed, fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys and girls, and now they are just their first acquaintance and first love, how can they really be unwavering?
Lin Shouxi gently squeezed her hand, Xiao He rubbed his palm, most of the scars on Lin Shouxi's palm were healed, but she still remembered his various experiences of protecting herself, and couldn't help but reflect on whether she was not so good to him so rudely.
It's getting darker and darker around.
The two of them walked in fear.
Soon, the first question arose before their eyes:
"What was the first secret book of your practice?"
'The Hundred Demon Sutra. ’
'Acacia. ’
Both of them were stunned after answering.
Don't say it.
They couldn't speak, but as the problem arose, the voices of the two of them were uncontrollably spoken, and then, they were surprised to find that they could actually hear each other's hearts!
Xiao He was overjoyed in his heart, thinking that his voice spirit root could also make the voice unable to convey his body, so that he could only listen to his secrets without revealing himself.
But her caution was soon shattered.
"Your favorite color."
'Black. ’
'White. ’
She activated the Spirit Root of Sound, but she still heard it...... She quickly understood that at this moment they were holding hands, not to mention that Lou should have tied them together, since they were one, even if they couldn't reach their bodies, they could be heard by each other.
After answering, Xiao He was silent for a while, and then remedied it with his heart, "I like black, I just like black, and it has nothing to do with you." ”
Lin Shouxi, who was dressed in black and had black hair, also responded: "I like white and it has nothing to do with your hair. ”
Soon, the two people who wanted to cover up were calmed by the question of splitting their heads and covering their faces:
"Your favorite person."
They don't want to answer, but they can't control their voices.
After giving the answer that they expected from each other, each of them spoke as if nothing had happened, as if the question did not exist.
Xiao He was aggrieved...... What kind of broken place is this, is such a place really worthy of such an ancient and solemn building?
Lou is a dead thing, he doesn't care about their emotions, Xiao He is still scolding the gods in his heart, and the problem has come with revenge:
"What do you like most about the other person?"
'Gentle, honest. Xiao He's heart answered. She scolded Lin Shouxi for lying all day long, but deep down she felt that he was sincere, which ...... How will you face him in the future?
Xiao He was entangled, but he heard Lin Shouxi also give a concise answer:
'Foot. ’
“???” Xiao He was shocked, and said angrily in his heart: "You really stepped on my shoes on purpose just now!" Foot...... I think you're trying to die! ”
Lin Shouxi was silent and pretended to be dead.
Xiao He's perception of this so-called righteous god is getting worse and worse, and she even has a little doubt that the little god servant of unknown origin Lin Shouxi next to her will be the incarnation of the god, and he will become a god servant to tease himself, these buildings are all done by him......
Well, if that's the case, it's okay, but no matter what kind of demon he is afterwards, he must beat him up afterwards.
Then, after a few more painless questions, Xiao He just relaxed a little, and an almost killer question came over:
"Your most memorable dream."
Lin Shouxi recounted the dream of the snowfield, he walked alone through the snow where the little ghost knelt on the monument, and saw a huge black shadow pierced by a sword full of patina, Shura on top and the abyss below.
And Xiao He ......
She lowered her head and hid her cheeks in her hair, but her little hands were hard to hide the warmth.
Sure enough, she recounted the dream she had in the cave earlier:
'I was wearing a red gold embroidered skirt, sitting on the edge of the couch, the embroidered shoes were taken off and placed beside the bed, my calves were slightly shaking, Lin Shouxi pushed the door in, the red hijab was lifted, I pretended not to be shy and stared at him, and asked him what he came to Miss Ben for, we fought for a while, I deliberately provoked him, he pressed me on his lap and punished me with family law, his hands were at first like a shower in the thunder of July, and then became more and more gentle, like the wind that wakes up a hundred flowers in April and May, and the heat rose up to my earlobes and thin neck, and he searched along my spine, Touching the knot on the jade belt ......'
"Don't listen, don't listen, don't listen! Dreams are all reversed! ”
Xiao He yelled, but he couldn't interrupt his heart.
Lin Shouxi looked at her with a smile, and wanted to rub the snow-haired girl into her arms and make her dream come true.
Throughout the whole process, Lin Shouxi basically listened to Xiao He retell her dream, and the content of the dream showed an indescribable passion, even Lin Shouxi was speechless for a while. Xiao He was completely desperate, she could only keep blaming this on the half bottle of pills.
Finally walked out of the Beyan Building, and Xiao He almost sat on the ground limply.
She was so upset that she felt that she was so embarrassed that she couldn't lift her head...... Where the hell is this, I might as well go back to the snowy mountains, although it is cold there, but the monsters have their evil written on their faces, and there are no such sinister people's hearts.
Lin Shouxi was a little broken and broken...... Anyway, it's a shame to be embarrassed, and you can rely on this to tease this arrogant girl in the future.
Especially this dream......
Xiao He sat on the ground, his eyes drooping to the ground, and he was silent.
She sat for a while, and became even more annoyed, thinking to herself that Lin Shouxi, a big fool, didn't he know how to reach out and help himself up?
She raised her head, intending to remind him, but saw Lin Shouxi looking ahead in a daze, already distracted.
Xiao He followed his line of sight and was also stunned.
In front of it is not an old palace at all, a deserted ruin, on the contrary, a beautiful and luxurious building...... The building is far larger than when looking at the top of the mountain, this is a whole piece of divine residence, the trees in front of the divine residence are towering, the branches and leaves are like gold, the phantom bird hangs down the colorful long feathers and overlooks, the antique temple wall is inlaid with colored glazed windows, it is not only abrupt, but seems to be reflected in the rainbow of the royal palace.
The lantern bearer stopped in front of the hall, hung the lantern in his hand on the door wall, and for a while, all the lights in the building were lit one after another, and the whole hall supported by red lacquered wooden pillars was lit, showing a magnificent posture.
In front of the hall is a large circular pool, the long corridor on the pool is tortuous, the fluttering light gauze mist, the lights of the whole building are poured into it, the brilliance is blended, the lotus jade petals are swaying in the light, white and bright, she looks at this scene, and is distracted for a long time...... It was a beauty she had never seen before.
Wonderland is nothing more than that, right?
When Xiao He was stupid, Lin Shouxi passed his hands under her arms and picked her up like a kitten.
Xiao He came back to her senses, and she asked softly, "Here...... What is it? ”
"The royal palace." Lin Shouxi said firmly: "That is what you call it, the Divine Court." ”
The gate of the court opened, and the door was not as tall as it was intended for humans, and the lantern-bearers stood inside, glanced back at them, and disappeared into the night.
Lin Shouxi looked at the palace door, and a nameless sadness welled up in his heart, as if the people in the palace had been waiting for him for a thousand years.
