Chapter 63: The Successor Scholar

He wanted to call her name, but memories were just memories, he was like a stranger in another world, unable to open his mouth.

When did this happen, and why are there such memories?

Lin Shouxi couldn't figure it out.

Mu Shijing's tender mouth opened and shouted brother, and his words were so immature that it was heartbreaking.

Brother? Is she her long-lost sister?

Lin Shouxi's doubts were quickly denied.

The shadows shaking in the courtyard became faster and faster, and time passed at a high speed, and he saw himself and Mu Shijing standing on both sides, holding wooden swords, as if they were competing in martial arts. They have immature faces, full attention, and a cute look of seriousness.

The wooden swords quickly collided together, and the moves were beyond imagination, and when they were separated again, the two stood back in place, the swords facing the midline of their bodies, not trembling at all, as if no one had moved. It's just that their posture has changed from relative to opposite.

A kind old man walked out, he announced something, and then, Lin Shouxi lowered his head and changed his name to Sister Girl, the girl's smile was shallow, and her tense body relaxed.

Lin Shouxi vaguely felt that there were still many shadows in this courtyard, but he couldn't see it, he could only see the old man.

The old man seemed to be his teacher, and he showed him some swordsmanship with a smile, and Lin Shouxi listened, his eyes wandered.

"Why are you so absent-minded? Are you very unconvinced to lose to that girl? The old man asked.

"No...... I just think that the swordsmanship taught by my grandfather is too simple, and it is not exquisite at all. Lin Shouxi was honest with a little resentment in his words.

The swordsmanship taught by the old man is the most basic action such as slashing and stabbing, and there is no difficulty at all, and it even makes people wonder if the old man has ever learned swordsmanship.

"Grandpa was very powerful when he was young." The old man smiled and said, answering the question.

"You've said that a hundred times." Lin Shouxi said helplessly.

"Grandpa originally wanted to teach you some kung fu at the bottom of the box, but you are so absent-minded, and it is in vain to practice it." The old man looked at him meaningfully and asked, "You...... Is there any confusion? ”

"Yes." Lin Shouxi immediately nodded and asked, "I want to know where this is, and do I want to live here forever?" Can I get out? ”

"Here...... This is the inside of the corpse of an evil demon god, there are many enemies outside, you are still young, and you will be eaten if you go out rashly. The old man said earnestly: "If you are eaten, then all the hard work we have put into it over the years will also be eaten together." ”

"But I don't think I'm anything special, and I don't think I can do anything." Lin Shouxi said unconfidently.

"It doesn't matter, you just need to cultivate step by step, you are still young, and there is still a lot of time." The old man was full of confidence in him.

"But the body I've been refining for so long doesn't seem to have any effect, my body is just a little stronger than ordinary people." Lin Shouxi said.

"Ordinary people? Have you ever seen ordinary people? ”

"Grandpa, aunt, uncle...... Aren't you ordinary people? Lin Shouxi looked at the shadows in the courtyard with blurred faces and said.

The old man laughed, not knowing how to answer.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Seeing that the young man was a little lost, the old man stopped laughing, comforted him, and then said: "Don't be sad, when you become a little cultivator, I will teach you my true mastery dragon snatcher." ”

"Dragon wrestler? It doesn't sound great. Lin Shouxi had already said it as tactfully as possible.

"Don't worry, it's very powerful, this is the fusion of all the mastery in the old man's life."

"But why haven't I ever seen my grandfather use it?"

After Lin Shouxi finished asking, he realized that his question was very stupid.

The gray-haired old man stood there, his body slightly rickety, he showed a hearty smile, and a pair of sleeves fluttered in the wind, and it was empty.

The picture after that was very fast, if he looked at the lanterns, Lin Shouxi only saw himself and the young Mu Shijing sitting on the roof, looking at the sky, and he realized that this seemingly simple courtyard was hidden in the mystery.

The sky outside the courtyard was shallow streams, like swaying water, he could clearly see the soft and soothing ripples of the water, the whole courtyard seemed to be wrapped in a thin wall of water, which refracted a mysterious shallow light, and there were many translucent hazy giants swimming outside the water, some of them looked like long-necked fish waving their fins slowly, some like barramundi waving their crescent fins, and some like whales, taking into account the huge and gentle bodies undulating under the sun and starry sky......

They feel like they're in an underwater world, looking up at the blue sky made up of the sea.

Lin Shouxi vaguely knew that they were some kind of soul, the guardian of this courtyard.

They sat silently, looking up at the sky, as if many years had passed.

Before you know it, the day of separation has arrived.

On the day of separation, Lin Shouxi and Mu Shijing were standing on both sides of the scene, and the elongated bamboo shadows cast a clear line between them.

Today they are fifteen years old, and this is their last battle, and after this battle, the priority is ordered, and the young and the old are clearly distinguished.

The boy and girl held their swords, their arms tense and their muscles tense, both of them taking this battle very seriously.

The battle began, and the swords collided together as they had done for more than ten years, but the sound of the wooden swords was interrupted by the elders, and the grandfather told them that they were leaving early.

"Where are we going?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"A distant place, where you will be separated." The old man said, "It's not safe to be watched here, we're too old to bless you anymore, you have to leave." But don't be afraid, I'll come and take you home myself. ”

"What about you?" The girl asked.

"We're not afraid of them, we're just afraid of your presence being discovered." The old man said.

"But didn't Grandpa say it's not safe outside?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"It's not safe outside, so it's okay to go to a safe outside."

"How's it safe?"

"Where no one can beat you, it's safe." The old man said seriously.

Lin Shouxi nodded as if he didn't understand, he always felt that there were many people standing in the courtyard, they were all his teachers, but now, he could only see one old man.

"How long will it take us to get there?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"For a long, long time." The old man sighed lightly, "We don't have a key, so we can only walk there with the corpse of a demon god that runs through the two realms...... Don't worry, this may be just a dream time for you, and when you wake up, you will forget most of it. ”

The old man didn't seem to have time to explain more, he looked at Lin Shouxi, his sleeves fluttering in the wind, "It's late today, next time we meet, I'll teach you the dragon snatcher." ”

His words were light, as if tomorrow they would meet again.

Lin Shouxi nodded in agreement.

He left with the girl, in front of the door, the girl asked, how to calculate this competition, he said, next time we meet, let's compare, the two lightly high-fived, and made a promise that it is not heavy or light.

They walked forward, as silent as they had been for years.

Suddenly, Mu Shijing sped up her steps and walked in front of Lin Shouxi, she turned her back, her white wrist stretched out to the back of her neck, lifted her long black and soft hair, and put it on her chest, revealing the entire elegant and straight back.

Lin Shouxi didn't look at the girl's new tender and smooth skin, but stared at the location of her butterfly bones, where there were two striking scars.

"Remember it." She said.

……

Lin Shouxi opened his eyes vaguely, he obviously seemed to have had a long dream, waking up from the dream was just a blink of an eye, and the law of time seemed to have failed in him.

But the Succession God Ceremony has been opened, and the third lady is the first to swallow that power.

Then, the stupid woman grabbed her throat and made a feeble sound of the wind rubbing against her throat, and then, she trembled violently, as if all her bones were vibrating, and the epidermis of her skin gave birth to scales, which quickly covered her like a mutated monster, and she screamed in pain, the sound no longer sounded like a human being, and then, countless spikes drilled out of her body, tearing her apart.

The Great Ceremony of Succession originally needed the Chosen One of Heaven to share the pain for it, but they didn't, so this weak body was instantly crushed by the divine power.

The second son looked at his sister's death, but his expression was blank, he felt that he was unprecedentedly awake, but unfortunately it was too late to wake up, he was about to face death, this pain made him completely numb, he gave birth to desperate thoughts, swallowed the power in one gulp, like swallowing gold.

No matter how precious gold is, it can be fatal to swallow.

The ghost awoke in his body, and he let out a painful, short throat sound, and his rich clothes were comically colorful, and he died quickly, ending his life in a state of confusion.

Xiao He looked at their tragic situation, death was approaching, she couldn't help but feel afraid, she was a little sad, she looked at Lin Shouxi, knowing that he would soon find out that he had deceived him, there was no prophecy at all, she was going to die soon, or would she become such a terrible monster...... The lie is going to be self-defeating.

She hoped that Lin Shouxi could pass out and not see what happened next, but when she looked over there, she found that the young man was standing up again.

The way he stood up was very strange, not like the skeletal muscles supporting him, but more like the many silk threads wrapped around his body, which lifted his body, he was obviously still conscious, opened his hand, and Zhan Gong flew into his palm, and was held by him.

Lin Shouxi looked at the back of the yellow-clothed man with a cold gaze.

The yellow-robed monarch seemed to sense something, and turned back slowly, his pale mask obscuring all his expression, but the howling wind around him became sharper, which seemed to subtly express the change in the god's mood.

Chu Yingchan looked behind Lin Shouxi, and then was shocked.

At some point, a figure appeared behind the boy, an old man with gray hair, his body was thin, his skin was full of wrinkles, his arms were broken, and his long sleeves fluttered in the wind like flagsβ€”almost exactly the same as in his dream, but he seemed to be older.

The most striking thing was that there were two sword marks on the old man's neck, which cut off his neck bone, making it almost impossible for his entire neck to be fixed to his body.

So the kind smile also seemed mad.

Chu Yingchan didn't know who he was, but she inexplicably remembered the stone tablet on the mirror lake and thought of the prophecy written on the stone tablet:

"And the lake will rise to the sky, and the ancient warden will awaken in its eternal sleep, and for the past thousand years it has tended over the land, removing all filth and letting the flames burn into the netherworld...... The legacy will not be broken, and when the heart burns again, it will choose a new king for the earth. ”

She remembered the torrential rain and fire of this divine realm......

The lake has risen to the sky, and the heart has burned again!

The old man stood behind the young man, staring at him, obviously explaining his last words, but his laughter was extremely hearty, as if he was still old and strong.

"It's time to pass on your mastery at the bottom of the box."
