Chapter 61: The Feaster

The choking black smoke had risen, and the fire was roaring, licking through the vermilion lacquer giant wood and spreading all the way.

"We must hurry down or we will be burned alive." Lin Shouxi said immediately.

Below, the evil spirits continued to crawl upwards despite the fire, and the solid walls had been torn through countless holes, and in the cracks, soft tentacles poked out of them, like swaying aquatic plants on the stone walls, and the fire rolled over them, and the weeping screams swirled endlessly.

There are too many evil spirits, even if they fall downstairs with the help of the red rope magic weapon, it will be difficult for them to find a foothold, and the next thing they will face is still an endless fight!

Just as they were hesitating to counteract, Xiao He was the most sharp-eyed, she pointed to the back of the palace and said, "The fog there has dissipated!" ”

The white fog that had permeated the palace had dissipated, and sure enough, it was a huge courtyard, which was not very beautiful, and there were only a few ordinary flowers and trees planted in it, and there was a small stone table in the middle, which looked like a meeting place.

The evil spirits have not yet invaded the courtyard, this is the life that fate has opened for them.

There was no room for hesitation, Chu Yingchan immediately made a decision, and immediately untied the red hair rope, one end was wrapped around the cornice, and the other end hung towards the back of the building, and the red rope continued to lengthen and extend downward.

The ground was filled with evil spirits, so they decided to use the red rope to descend to the second floor first, and then use their true qi to leap into the courtyard behind.

Chu Yingchan took the lead and took the lead in sliding down the red rope, Xiao He and Lin Shouxi followed closely, they held their breath to prevent inhaling the high temperature, the black smoke in the sky was mixed with the stench of burning evil spirits in the fire, and the purgatory-like scene inside was faintly visible in the gaps.

I don't know what provoked their anger, they also fought in the building, fragments flew in the firelight, powerful evil spirits either tore at the bodies of weak evil spirits, or fixed them with wrist thorns, sucking some kind of liquid like brain marrow, the burning building was full of stumps and corpses of evil spirits, Rao was like this, and the evil spirits in the rear still flocked in.

They seem to be fighting over something......

Chu Yingchan, Xiao He, and Lin Shouxi jumped to the second floor one after another, and the evil spirits that tried to stop them were all cut into corpses by them, and the three of them fell smoothly into the courtyard that might not have been affected, and after standing firmly, they looked back, and the building was basically wrapped in flames, and the sky was black and smoky.

Chu Yingchan took back the red rope, dusted off the stained ash on the rope, and closed the gate of the courtyard.

She leaned against the door and closed her eyes, her white dress was still dusty, and her eyebrows were pale without powder.

This courtyard is safe for the time being, but it is also like a birdcage surrounded on three sides, they are trapped here, and they have found the peace they have not seen for a long time, but once something kills here, they really have no way out.

Chu Yingchan untied the red rope again and threw it into the sky, although the rules of the Divine Domain were loose, the rope still couldn't connect with the outside world, as if a new force had appeared, blocking this place again.

God is drawing near to them......

"We might die here." Chu Yingchan calmly stated this fact.

"You Shenshan fairies, are you so easy to give up?" Xiao He said coldly.

"Only by being prepared for death can you go calmly." Chu Yingchan's words were also cold.

"Hypocrisy, I see that you obviously still have a bunch of obsessions, but you still have to pretend that you don't care and put life and death out of the way." Xiao He just didn't like her.

Chu Yingchan was silent for a moment, looking at Xiao He with beautiful eyes, "Don't you have any obsession?" ”

"My obsession is to fulfill my aunt's obsession." Xiao He subconsciously looked at the sky, as if there was a hovering blackbird there, and she said leisurely: "I thought I would be lonely to death, but ...... In short, even if I die like this, I don't feel any regrets. ”

Speaking of this, she felt that Lin Shouxi should give a little response, but for some reason, since entering the courtyard, Lin Shouxi has not said a word, she felt strange, looked over, and saw Lin Shouxi holding the stone table with one hand and pressing his temple with the other, looking left and right, not knowing what he was looking for.

"What's wrong with you?" Xiao He walked to his side, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his face.

Lin Shouxi hesitated for a moment and muttered, "This place ...... I seem to have been. ”

"Been here?" Xiao He was surprised and said, "The Divine Court has not been opened for three hundred years, how can you have ever been here?" Aren't you a year older than me this year? ”

"I don't know, I just feel familiar...... I came in a dream. ”

Lin Shouxi looked at the fog in front of him, his eyes were a little dull, as if he was possessed by a demon, he raised his hand and pointed ahead, the green tendons on his hand were beating.

"The ground there is very steep, up and down, there is a wooden man standing on the left, the wooden man's face is covered with a black cloth, and in front of it is a low wooden house, the door of the house is pasted with rune paper, the bamboo in front of the temple is very high, and white wildflowers grow below, and the upper end reaches a shallow water layer, and there are translucent shadows of youkai floating on it, and they often make long whale-like calls......"

He pointed to the fog and said, very specifically, as if he was reminiscing, and as if he could see through the fog.

Xiao He's heart was furious when she heard this, and she pulled Lin Shouxi's sleeve, "Are you really okay?" ”

Lin Shouxi came back to his senses slightly, he didn't know what was wrong with him, after coming here, he actually had a sense of sadness of returning to his old place.

"Maybe I'm so tired that I'm hallucinating." Lin Shouxi said.

Xiao He nodded, didn't ask more, and just let him be quiet.

"Although this is a divine court, it is not unusual for a courtyard to be laid out like this, you may have been to a similar place and left an impression." Chu Yingchan said.

"Perhaps." Lin Shouxi nodded.

The huge temple had become a raging fire, and if the building collapsed in the direction of the courtyard, they would have no escape. The fire had surrounded them, and the cries were still heard under the twilight sky, and they moved as far as they could in the direction of the fog in search of a safer place.

With their backs to the fog, they looked into the distance as they sorted out their injuries.

Xiao He stood beside Chu Yingchan, looking up at her with a delicate little face from time to time, the previous topic was not over, she asked again: "By the way, do you have any obsessions?" ”

Chu Yingchan held her hair and set the light gold hairpin back into the green silk, and said, "Why did I tell you? ”

"I don't want to say anything, how can I break it?" Xiao He said lightly: "Love to say it or not." ”

Chu Yingchan snorted, if she likes to say it or not, of course she doesn't say it.

Xiao He still didn't give up, and said, "Do you want me to force a confession?" ”

"Why do you care so much about such a thing?" Chu Yingchan shook her head lightly, not understanding this kind of life-and-death situation, where did she come from so much leisure.

"I just want to know." Xiao He said stubbornly.

She had a divine acolyte in her body, a spell from the gods that allowed them to say anything they wanted.

Chu Yingchan looked at the firelight, and said faintly after a while: "Shizun doesn't like me." ”

"Master?" Xiao He asked curiously: "Male or female? ”

"It's not that you don't like it." Chu Yingchan said softly: "Master...... Maybe I'm not good enough. ”

"How old did you get to see the gods?" Xiao He asked.

"Seventeen."

"Then your master is really insatiable." Xiao He shook his head and said.

Chu Yingchan didn't speak, just quietly looked at the fire in the distance, she gently pressed her hand on the sword, the snow crane flew like a firefly, the fire reflected her cheeks, for a while, she asked, "What kind of person do you think I am?" ”

Xiao He couldn't give an answer, she glanced at Lin Shouxi, and Lin Shouxi said very interestingly: "The bad woman who wants to kill us." ”

Xiao He nodded with satisfaction.

"Master said that I am a standard fairy in the eyes of the world, and I can meet the expectations of mortals for immortals, but I can't meet her expectations for me." Chu Yingchan spoke softly.

"What is your master's expectation of you?" Xiao He asked.

"Shizun didn't say."

“…… I think it's your master who is playing tricks on you. Xiao He pursed his lips and said.

"No, it's not." Chu Yingchan said stubbornly.

Knowing her obsession, Xiao He also lost a lot of interest, and the danger would not be reduced because of their more relaxed communication, on the contrary, the flames of the building were like awakened demons, burning more and more, and meeting the sky showing the color of dusk.

They absorb true qi, recover from their injuries, and prepare for the dangers that may arise next.

I don't know how long the flames burned, the pillars were all red, the structure of the building became more and more unstable, the burning wooden pillars fell one after another, but the magnificent building was not destroyed in the firelight, its main body was still standing steadily, the flames burned the palace as the skin, revealing the huge pale bones in it!

No wonder there is no load-bearing wood in this hall, it turns out that its real structure is the remains of this corpse hidden in the building!

It was a hill-like corpse, and the skeleton was mainly supported by a giant curved bone in the center, which resembled the cervical vertebrae of a human being, and with it as the center, countless sharp bones like scimitars sprouted horizontally, looking like an erect grotesque insect.

The giant building has not yet burned down, and the skeleton has not yet revealed its full true form.

There is not one in ten evil spirits, and the surviving evil spirits have pounced on this white giant bone, not even caring about the deadly flames, but each of them has their own magic to knock on the bone and suck the marrow, but this is the corpse of a god, where is it so easy to knock open? It's like they've gone back to the time when they were real larvae, using their toothed tongues to frustrate the algae attached to the rocks on the ocean floor.

The heat wave is like invisible magma, slowly lying down from a tall building, and the trees in the courtyard have begun to spontaneously combust, such a temperature is deadly for ordinary people, although they can resist it, but if they are in such a high temperature for a long time, even they will face the danger of coma.

Lin Shouxi's physique was different from ordinary people, and he could still resist, but Xiao He was obviously much more difficult, her thin lips were tightly closed, and her face was already flushed with a reddish color, like petals that gradually faded after detaching from the flowers.

Lin Shouxi looked at Chu Yingchan again, this fairy of the sacred mountain was dressed in white like snow, and her expression was quiet, like ice that could not be melted by fire.

"What are you looking at?" Xiao He raised his little hand and shook it in front of him.

Lin Shouxi looked at Chu Yingchan and said firmly: "You have a magic weapon to ward off the heat." ”

Chu Yingchan did not admit or deny it.

"Hand it over." Lin Shouxi spread out his hand and said straightforwardly.

Only then did Xiao He realize that he was caring about himself.

"You have controlled me by divine decree, and I have no power to resist, and now you want to take my things, how are you different from a bandit?" Chu Yingchan asked faintly.

"I'm from a demon family." Lin Shouxi didn't say any high-sounding words, in his heart, Xiao He's safety was the most important.

"I came from a Taoist family." Chu Yingchan said subconsciously.

"Yo, you're really the right guy." Xiao He was like this, but he couldn't help but sneer.

Lin Shouxi still spread her hands, Chu Yingchan couldn't resist, she gently picked her hand into her waist, the jade belt was hooked off by her fingers, the jade belt was hooked off, and the gauze skirt on the cover was removed by her, the light gauze-like dress was as soft as flowing water, and it was like a breeze coiled between her fingers, it seemed to be as thin as a cicada's wings, but in fact, it was layered dozens of times, all of which were precious things woven by silk.

The gauze skirt faded, Chu Yingchan only had a thin close-fitting white dress inside, the woman's face was proud, and her figure was also proud, under the graceful curve, the hanging hem covered the knees, falling straight down, and the smooth and slender thighs were like ice carvings, looming.

Xiao He looked at her, and his eyes couldn't help narrowing...... It's really a fairy who just wants to play and doesn't want to watch from afar.

Then, she quickly remembered Lin Shouxi's preference, and hurriedly turned her head sideways to examine him, Lin Shouxi really stared at the silver chain decorated on the Yuebai embroidered shoes without squinting, and noticed Xiao He's gaze, and he immediately explained.

"I'm just looking to see if she's still stealing the magic weapon."

"Less and Miss Ben's outfit." Xiao He didn't believe it at all.

Chu Yingchan waved her hand, and the light yarn flew out like a bird, becoming several times larger, covering in front of them, as if a big tree was sprinkled with shade, and the heat disappeared.

"In the future, we are not allowed to hide the magic treasure anymore, we should work together at this moment, and if there is such a thing again, I will never spare you." Lin Shouxi said coldly: "As a true disciple of the Daomen, why are you so narrow-minded? ”

"Like, we don't treat you badly, right?" Xiao He responded.

Chu Yingchan hummed without being salty, and said calmly: "You have the divine order, you are condescending, you have no fear, you can make a tolerant and generous posture, I am different." ”

"I didn't see you tolerant when you had the advantage." Xiao He has sharp teeth.

Chu Yingchan was silent, the will of the master often replaced her own will, and she could not tolerate willfulness when she made her choice.

Xiao He had the upper hand in the argument, and she also focused on the overall situation, and did not pursue the victory in words, after all, they had to work together next.

The light yarn shielded itself from the heat, and it shimmered in the flames, and the shimmer outlined the delicate patterns of its silk threads, almost transparent, and it was swayed by the air currents formed by the temperature difference, like a skirt swaying in the wind.

Xiao He stretched out his hand and temporarily blocked out the noisy sounds with the spiritual root of sound, and this small field fell into silence, giving people the illusion of being outside the world and watching the fire of the world.

Lin Shouxi looked at the twilight, looked at the building, looked at the bones in the building, and finally unconsciously fell on Xiao He's body.

Xiao He noticed his gaze and looked over as well, the young man's bloody cheeks were delicate and cold, and they were clearly lined by the firelight, like a knife-cut statue.

"Don't look at me with this kind of life and death eyes, don't worry, Miss Ben's foresight spirit root is very accurate." Xiao He patted his chest and said confidently.

Chu Yingchan glanced here, she saw the look in the girl's slightly red eyes, and sighed silently.

Lin Shouxi hugged her, Xiao He didn't resist, she pressed against his chest, and muttered softly: "Nian You have followed Miss Ben for so long and worked hard, this is a reward for you." ”

Lin Shouxi didn't speak, his hand wrapped around her thin wicker waist, and clamped it tightly.

Because there were outsiders, they couldn't do anything more out of the ordinary, they just hugged for a while and separated.

The heat was getting stronger and stronger, and the trees in the courtyard had burned to blackened charcoal, and even the skirt was gradually unable to lose its heat, and it was twisting in the air, as if it were about to be burned to ashes at any moment.

They are like people hanging on a lonely tree on a cliff at the moment, watching the tree gradually crumble, but they are powerless to stop it.

After a while, Xiao He couldn't help but look at Lin Shouxi's face from time to time, and every glance was regarded as the last.

"What do you always see me do?" Lin Shouxi touched his cheek, a little puzzled.

"I ......" Xiao He has always been arrogant, even if it was this time, he deliberately reversed the topic, "I'm looking to see if you have a peek at other people's Chu Fairy." ”

"I don't think it's too late for Xiao He, peek at what she's doing?" Lin Shouxi smiled.

"It's not that you exposed your habits in the Don't Say Building." Xiao He snorted lightly: "Now this little fairy is half-bare-legged, didn't he just poke your heart?" ”

Chu Yingchan's lips were tightly closed, and she stood with her sword in her arms, pretending not to hear anything.

"Don't say that the words in the building should not be true." Lin Shouxi said.

"Really? That's the voice of the heart, and it couldn't be more true! Xiao He's words are chiseled.

"In that case, is Xiao He's dream also true?" Lin Shouxi took advantage of the situation to fight back.

"Ah...... No, what a dream......" Xiao He hurriedly waved his hand.

"I didn't expect the seemingly innocent Xiao He to have such a dream."

"Don't say anything." Xiao He tried to interrupt in vain.

Lin Shouxi loves to see Xiao He's delicate appearance, at this moment they are in danger, they are helpless waiting for death to come, and the girl's slightly sad face has become the only light in the vast darkness.

"I almost forgot to ask Xiao He at that time, why did you deliberately provoke me? What is family law? And ......"

Xiao He rolled up his sleeves, revealing his white wrist, and Lin Shouxi shut up in amusement.

Xiao He looked back, but saw Chu Yingchan also looking here again, with a smile on her cheeks.

"What do you see? Again, include you in family law. Xiao He puffed out his cheeks and said.

The faint smile on Chu Yingchan's face quickly dispersed, not because of Xiao He's words, but because she knew that this magic robe was almost at its limit. It is unusual to be able to burn in the Divine Domain, even if this dress is a gift from her master when she was eighteen years old, it is not worthy of the scorching flames of the sky.

However, the evil spirits outside are probably almost killed by this flame, and when the white dress is burned away, they use their true qi to protect their bodies, and rush out of the palace in one go, without a chance of survival.

Syllable!

A loud noise suddenly came from the dusk, and Chu Yingchan's thoughts were suddenly interrupted.

"Is the building collapsing?" Lin Shouxi's expression was shocked.

"It's not." Chu Yingchan responded immediately, and her eyes fell to the sky.

The fire made them ignore the flash of thunder, but the rain that followed was impossible to ignore.

It was like the water of Wuzhu Lake poured into this place, and the torrential rain fell without warning, and they converged into a stream in the sky, washing the earth, but they could not extinguish the fire of the temple, and the fire continued to burn, as if it was about to burn through the sky.

The surrounding temperature dropped suddenly, Chu Yingchan took the initiative to remove the gauze skirt, and the wind was already mixed with coolness.

Xiao He suddenly felt that his prophecy might really come true, maybe there was really a god of fate in the dark who was watching over them, allowing them to meet life again and again in desperate situations.

Chu Yingchan hooked her fingers, the unfolded white gauze skirt quickly folded, wrapped it back on her body, wrapped the jade belt, tied her waist, she was also relieved, and immediately prepared to leave this land of right and wrong.

Only Lin Shouxi's face tightened.

Dead City, Pool of Evil, Fog Alley...... Whenever danger came, he always had a strong premonition in his heart, and now, his premonition was stronger than ever.

Rainstorm falling, dead ancient city......

Lin Shouxi felt that everything was so familiar.

He remembered the statue again, and Guanyin's compassionate smile made him creep.

"Did you hear that?" Lin Shouxi's ghost made a god speak.

Chu Yingchan frowned and shook her head.

Xiao He, who had the Spirit Root of Sound, listened intently for a while, and shook her head, she couldn't hear anything except the sound of rain, fire, and the cries of evil spirits.

Lin Shouxi said in a frighteningly calm tone: "He's here." ”

In the court of the gods, the wind was born out of thin air, its sound was so loud that it almost made people deaf, and in the hurricane, the flames still burned straight into the sky, and the rain still fell straight down, and the wind seemed to blow from another world.

But at this moment, Xiao He and Chu Yingchan both invariably had a sense of fear, which was not the condescending coercion of the gods, but the fear that arises spontaneously in the face of the ancient and the unknown.

The door to the courtyard was blown by the wind.

An invisible wind squeezed into the crack, slowly opening the huge gate, and soon, the door of the courtyard was completely open, and the still burning white bone palace appeared in view.

In the flames, the back wall of the palace had been burned through, and from this you could see the vestibule, where the crown of the throne had been burned to cold ashes, and the monarch in yellow stood behind the palace, like a man who had come from afar to feast.
