Chapter 68: I Came from the Coffin
Outside the snowy fairy tower, Bai Zhu, who was bullying the little qilin, saw Chu Yingchan walk out, she hurriedly abandoned the qilin and ran to her senior sister's side.
"Little Senior Sister ......"
Bai Zhu tugged at the sleeve of his senior sister's shirt, "Did the master say anything?" Senior sister, you also know that Shizun likes to scare people very much, don't take it to heart. ”
Chu Yingchan's footsteps stopped slightly, she looked at Bai Zhu, rubbed her hair, and said, "Don't worry, Shizun didn't say anything." ”
Bai Zhu will be skeptical.
The snow fell and fell into Chu Yingchan's hair, Bai Zhu looked at her senior sister with pity, and helped her pat some of the snow on her hair, the two walked through the snow courtyard, the footprints stretched to the outside of the arch, the flowers and trees were closed all night, the court was full of tranquility, and the only white deer ran deftly, screaming beside Chu Yingchan.
"Pear blossom." Bai Zhu shouted its name because the tattoos on its body resembled pear blossoms, so it got this name.
This fawn is a little taller than Bai Zhu, the antlers are fluffy, Bai Zhu likes to touch its horns very much, because it is Chu Yingchan's mount, so it has a good status in the garden.
The two of them walked through the garden without stopping, until they came to the outside of the building, and the sea of clouds outside the building was thicker, as if stretching snow-capped mountains.
"What did the master say?" Bai Zhu saw that his senior sister was always sullen and asked worriedly.
"It's nothing, Senior Sister wants to be alone." Chu Yingchan said softly.
Bai Zhu let out a weak sigh.
Chu Yingchan led the deer away.
She returned to her courtyard, set the deer in place, and then returned to the house, closed the door, and the paper window was shining with the crimson color of the candle flame, and the figure of the fairy Lingxiu was reflected on it, and the shadow trembled with the candlelight, and the gauze skirt was like water, and the water slipped from the jade, and the curves were exposed, and in the beauty that no one could see, the wider clothes closed the past. It's like winter is coming, the spring is gone, and the snow is covered.
Chu Yingchan stood in the crimson light shadow, her white clothes were elegant and elegant, and her unadorned wrists arranged the clothes she had removed, folded them one by one, and put them in the box.
Then she went out and sat down at the bottom of the stairs.
The lights in the room behind her had been extinguished by her, and she sat in the dark, pouring her wine and silently staring at the snow and ice all night.
That same night, Xiao He also lived in a small room outside the building, she faded red, sat in front of the mirror in a green dress, looked at the blurred face in the mirror, as if waiting for someone to comb her hair.
The night was long.
The morning light was faintly transparent, Chu Yingchan got up, and led the deer away from the garden.
She wanted to leave quietly, but how could Bai Zhu let her get her wish? Bai Zhu got up very early today, because he expected something and came to block Senior Sister.
"Senior sister, you're really leaving." Bai Zhu asked softly.
"Well, I'll go down the hill for a walk." Chu Yingchan said.
"Let's go...... Where are you going, and when are you coming back? Bai Zhu asked endlessly.
Chu Yingchan lowered her head and remembered Shizun's words yesterday, Shizun's words were very simple, just expressing his disappointment with her, let her leave the sect, the word leaving is very subtle, Shizun let her go, but he also confiscated her sect jade plate and expelled her.
Chu Yingchan couldn't answer Bai Zhu's question, so she had to say, "When I think I can come back, I will come back." ”
"What kind of answer is that?" Bai Zhu puffed up his face and muttered, "The ruthless little sister is going to leave poor Bai Zhu behind......"
"Wasn't Bai Zhu always afraid of his senior sister coming back? Now that I'm alone, I don't have to keep the lights, shouldn't I be happier? Chu Yingchan smiled slightly and asked.
"It's different, knowing that my senior sister is coming back, it's more fun to sneak around, but it's too boring now." Bai Zhu said seriously.
"Hmm...... Senior sister will come back, and next time I come back, if I see you playing secretly, I will definitely punish you. Chu Yingchan said.
"Really." Bai Zhu raised her head and pressed Liuhai who was blown by the wind with her hand, she looked at Chu Yingchan and said distrustfully: "But why didn't Senior Sister bring a magic weapon, this is a clean body." ”
"......" Chu Yingchan didn't know how to answer, and it just so happened that Xiao He, who was dressed in red, also came from the snow, and the girl's childish face was lined with ice and snow.
"Is Sister Wu leaving too?" Bai Zhu asked.
"Well, I'm going to take a look around Mount Kinabalu and think about something by the way." Xiao He said.
Bai Zhu sighed softly.
Xiao He looked at Chu Yingchan, who was walking with the deer, stopped in front of her, and asked, "How are you recovering from your injuries?" ”
"Okay." Chu Yingchan said lightly.
"Then don't go after you go down the mountain." Xiao He's tone was not good.
Xiao He's aggressive appearance made Bai Zhu stunned, although she knew that they were enemies, but Bai Zhu didn't want to see them fight, not to mention that now that Senior Sister is like this, she must not be Sister Xiao He's opponent.
"Okay." Chu Yingchan knew that she was worried about what happened in the Wu family, so she didn't refuse, and responded.
Xiao He's silver teeth bit lightly, she walked closer, staring at Chu Yingchan's eyes, and the anger on her little face quickly dissipated again - Chu Yingchan's depression was like a city wall, so she didn't have any desire to attack.
"Forget it, I won't take advantage of people's danger, and I'll settle accounts with you next time." Xiao He shook his head slightly, turned around, tightened his placket, and walked down the mountain.
Chu Yingchan led the deer and wanted to go.
Bai Zhu felt even more distressed, she held her face and said: "Shizun is really, since that fairy lantern is so unimportant, why should it be so solemn, and the senior sister is obviously in danger for the sake of the teacher, and her life is almost gone, but Shizun ...... Hmph, the master is good or bad.
The voice fell.
"Is it bad to be a teacher?"
The fairy sound pierced through the wind and snow, and scared Bai Zhu into a spirit.
Bai Zhu turned around and looked around, there was a graceful snow shadow in the snow, the snow shadow was dressed in a white fur, and it was obviously dignified and elegant, but it still gave people the feeling of a snow fox standing on the hillside and smiling.
It is the master.
The master's posture is blurred, like a projection, very hazy.
Bai Zhu and Chu Yingchan saluted together.
"Did you drink last night?" Shizun asked Chu Yingchan.
"Yes." Chu Yingchan responded.
"Going down the mountain without a sword?" Shizun asked again.
"After going down the mountain, Yingchan will look for another sword." Chu Yingchan said.
Shizun walked slowly from the snow and said coldly, "Who are you stubborn with?" ”
Chu Yingchan didn't answer.
Shizun opened his hand, and there was a sound of exploding whips in the air, and a black light flew in, condensing in Shizun's palm. It was a flat, narrow, black iron ruler.
Chu Yingchan's face changed slightly, and Bai Zhu was so frightened that his mouth was half open.
"Turn around." Shizun stared at Chu Yingchan and said sternly.
Chu Yingchan stood in the snow, pursed her lips, the hand in her sleeve clenched, she closed her eyes after hesitating, turned around, and turned her back to Shizun.
"Does the master want to punish Yingchan?" Chu Yingchan lowered her head and pulled several locks of green silk behind her ears, her figure was straight, but her posture was weak and weak.
Bai Zhu wanted to intercede for her senior sister, but she was not brave enough to see the iron ruler of her master, and she couldn't help rubbing her palms, so frightened that she didn't dare to move forward.
The master was silent.
Chu Yingchan's body trembled slightly, if she was punished like this in front of her junior sister, it would be tantamount to naked humiliation, she was not disobedient, but she became more and more disheartened.
But the imaginary punishment did not come, a moment later, Bai Zhu pulled her sleeve, Chu Yingchan came back to her senses, she turned her head, only to find that Shizun had disappeared into the wind and snow, and the thin black iron ruler with the length of a sword was hanging behind her at some point, like a sword.
Chu Yingchan held the black ruler, her eyes slid across the ruler, and she saw two words written on it.
Bai Zhu stood on tiptoe to look, Chu Yingchan had already spoken, "Twenty." ”
"Twenty? What twenty? Bai Zhu asked curiously.
"Today is my twentieth birthday." Chu Yingchan opened her mouth, and there was no sadness or joy in her words.
Bai Zhu was stunned in place, she snapped her fingers and muttered, "It seems to be yes, today is Senior Sister Chu Chu's birthday......
"Don't you remember your sister's birthday?" Chu Yingchan asked faintly.
"Hmm...... Bai Zhu has a bad memory, there are more than 300 days a year, where can I remember clearly. Bai Zhu scratched his hair and said apologetically.
Chu Yingchan shook her head slightly.
Bai Zhu plucked up his courage and asked rhetorically: "Does the senior sister remember Bai Zhu?" ”
"May 20." Chu Yingchan blurted out.
Bai Zhu was silent for a while, and then apologized to his senior sister in a low voice, saying that he would definitely remember his senior sister's birthday in the future.
Chu Yingchan picked up the iron ruler, symbolically patted her head, and then led the deer into the sea of clouds and down the mountain.
……
Bai Zhu was stunned on the snow for a long time, and the little unicorn screamed duckly, as if to comfort her, she rubbed the unicorn's head, saying that she would be a kind Bai Zhu in the future and not bully it.
After playing with the little unicorn for a while, she ran into the fairy building and dared to see Shizun, wanting to secretly ask Sister Wu Youhe if the big brother could come back.
At this moment, the master is sitting on the top of the cloud tower and looking into the distance.
The fairy building is made of a small jasper, the scenery seen at the top of it is vast, the world is only brilliant smoke and red sun at sunrise and sunset, and the snow day is boundless white, such as being in a deep dream.
A slender ancient sword buzzed in her right hand and her ears were ringing, and she didn't know what to say.
There are no windows on all sides of the ancient building, and the wind is very strong, and when Bai Zhu comes, he only dares to lie on the ground on all fours, for fear that he will be swept away by the strong wind.
"Disciple to meet Master." Bai Zhu said this, showing that he was very polite, not that he couldn't fight the wind.
Shizun nodded and said, "You can step aside." ”
"Hmm...... Bai Zhu didn't ask anything. Bai Zhu said distressedly.
"I am not omniscient, and I have not yet figured out many things myself, so how can I answer them?" Shizun said.
"But Shizun is so powerful, how can he not know anything?" Bai Zhu said sincerely.
"I ...... Isn't it amazing? The master seemed to be talking to himself.
"Of course Shizun is powerful, the most powerful in the world!" The clever Bai Zhu will not let go of the opportunity to praise the master in person.
"Oh? How powerful is that? Shizun narrowed his eyes and rubbed the fox fur on his knees, as if he was teasing Bai Zhu.
Bai Zhu pondered for a while and gave a few answers, such as like a mountain, like the sea, like the sun, like the moon, listening to the master's murderous intent, Bai Zhu knew that something was wrong, and couldn't help but think of what the master had said to him in the past, and blurted out:
"There are five white wishes that are so powerful!"
Before the words fell, the wind suddenly became stronger, and water poured into Xiao Bai Zhu's mouth, Bai Zhu screamed for a while, unable to make a sound, and then was blown up by the strong wind, directly out of the building, she waved her arms in panic, but could not find balance, fortunately the mercy of the master's subordinates fell smoothly on the snow.
The little unicorn stood in the snow, duck and duck barked twice, Bai Zhu was ashamed, pinched his little fist and hammered its forehead, "Don't laugh at Bai Zhu!" ”
On the immortal tower, the master is still looking at the fairy snow in Yunshan. She didn't lie to Bai Zhu, she calculated the cause and effect line behind Lin Shouxi, and the answer she got was even more confusing than the snow in front of her.
She couldn't even be sure if Lin Shouxi was still alive.
But if you face the legendary god in yellow, you should be dead.
Monarch in Yellow......
According to legend, this is the third of the two shadows of the primordial and the fourth of the three evil gods of the deep sea, is this being the first to wake up? And what about the rest......
These primeval gods were once kings of the sky, earth, and sea, and they all ruled this world baptized by countless floods and lava, but the new king came to the old king but may not die, they are still alive in this world, and they don't know when they will set off another catastrophe that will destroy the world.
And the world ......
Among all human beings, there are only two cultivators who can be comparable to the primeval level from ancient times to the present, one is the ancestor who has mastered all the spells in the world, and the other is the emperor of the Holy Soil Temple, but the ancestor has long since died, and what he left behind is only a huge and complex Dharma body with only one thought, and the emperor of the Holy Soil Hall has long fallen into a deep sleep, and he cannot be awakened once in a hundred years.
If the catastrophe really comes, will the cultivators' efforts over the years be able to eliminate it?
Shizun sighed lightly, she supported her elbows, her body was buried in the cloud chair, she wrapped her clothes tightly, closed her eyes, the wind blew, the fox fur covering her legs slipped down, the thighs between the white fur were revealed, the slender and elastic legs were overlapped, and the charming arc was warped, Shizun opened one eye, looked at the fox fur that fell to the ground, and was too lazy to pick it up, fell asleep for a while, and fell asleep quietly.
……
……
Somewhere nameless.
The sky was dull and gloomy.
Like the blade of a god splitting the mountain, the pitch-black mountain cracked in the middle, and a slightly winding mountain path squeezed out of it, and many iron-brown trees grew between the mountains, and their branches stretched out to cover the crack, making the mountain appear to be one.
So the sound of ruts rolling across the ground at high speed seemed to come from the mountain.
It was a convoy, the carriages were wrapped in black iron sheets and covered with black cloth, and the horses pulling the carts were also black, and the people driving the carriages on horseback were also dressed in black, only the silver decoration on the belts showed their identity.
At this moment, the carriage was running wildly at an unusual speed, and the man with a mountain face was at the head, and in front of the carriage behind him sat a little girl with a sword, they seemed to be father and daughter, the man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, but the little girl was delicate, and their faces were covered with gloom.
There were two carriages beside them, and these tall horses were the best horses, but at the moment they were tired and panting, and the rhythm of the horses' hooves was visibly chaotic.
"Daddy, hurry, hurry up...... That thing is coming up! The little girl cried out loudly, her eyes shining with fear.
The man was silent, he pressed his hand on the horse, and he was a little shorter, as if trying to reduce the resistance of the wind, and the groom who followed him turned pale, and they wanted to turn back but did not dare, because it was not a man who was chasing them, but a head...... Ghost.
The so-called ghosts jumped back and forth on the cliffs, chasing the carriages, and seemed to be more at ease than the horses.
"Corpses, don't want those corpses, throw them down!" The man in the lead suddenly shouted.
"But, but ......"
"The great plan of the Lord is important, but the task cannot be completed here, it is important to save the life, and the corpse will be transported next time and a new one will be completed." The man made a quick decision.
The girl answered, quickly got into the back of the carriage, pulled out the dagger on her waist, stabbed it into the keyhole-like position, and with a twist, the iron door opened, and the wind rushed in, blowing her directly into the carriage.
She gritted her teeth and got up against the wind, lifted the coffin, which was heavier than her own, and pushed it out of the carriage.
After removing several coffins, she jumped into the other two carriages and pushed the other coffins down as she could.
The wooden coffins slammed open on the ground, and corpses rolled out and barricade down the road.
The carriage was suddenly lighter, and it was much faster.
The little girl turned around, but saw no more ghosts, and the ghosts seemed to have been shaken off, and it seemed that the two-legged ghosts could not outrun the four-legged horses...... Just as everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the sound of a knock suddenly sounded, like a knock on the door.
- Someone is banging on the carriage!
The little girl turned back tremblingly, almost so frightened that she fell out of the carriage!
I saw a figure sitting in the carriage at some point, the person was obviously facing her, but his face turned straight and grinned.
In an instant, the frightened cries of the maiden, the neighing of the horses, and the toppling of the chariot sounded almost simultaneously, and the troika could not move any further, and the coachman fell, and the maiden also fell to the ground, looking at the ghost creature sitting in the carriage, and was terrified.
The ghost creature grinned so much that he clapped his hands and said leisurely, "What? An hour ago, weren't you very imposing? Why are you so scared now? Gee...... You guys are escorting the babies, why did you throw them all away, and you didn't stick to it at all. ”
Three grooms and a maiden sat on the ground, their bodies limp and no one dared to answer.
An hour ago, they rested in a tea shop in the suburbs, and met a gangster, who teased the little girl a few words, and was beaten by her father by the neck and on the ground, and the splash was beaten so that his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and before leaving, he shouted that I will definitely come back to marry you as a wife, which made the store laugh.
I never thought that after they set off, this scoundrel really followed, and he turned into a ghost, faster than the horses. They could never have imagined that the seemingly waste-like man they met in the tea shop was actually such a terrifying monster.
The carriage had collapsed on its side, but the monster was still sitting cross-legged, smiling and steady.
There was already a horseman kneeling on the ground and began to beg for mercy, saying that he had eyes and did not know Taishan, and begged Daxian to let it go, the monster glanced at him, and with a flick of his fingers, the horseman's eyebrows were instantly pierced, and he fell to the ground screaming.
"Uncle Chen......" The girl was so frightened that tears flowed out.
"It's damn it's not a little bit of a solar term." The ghost creature blew on his fingers, and his black nails were slender.
He looked at the little girl again and said, "How is it?" Isn't this trick powerful, do you want to learn it? Hey, weren't you disgusted when you looked at me before, why do you have this expression now? Tsk, did you change your mind? Come, call the husband to listen, and I will forgive you for your mistakes if you call it well. ”
The little girl is only fifteen years old this year, and out of rebellion and willfulness, she has to go out with her father to bet on this dart, although this area is not peaceful, but I have never heard of a terrible ghost haunt, let alone I thought that I would be bumped into by myself.
The ghost thing still laughed at her, "Come on, say, are you shy?" Or is it ...... You don't believe me, huh? ”
Where did the little girl dare to speak, because she could clearly see that in the mouth of this ghost creature was a sharp red tooth - this is a man-eating ghost!
She was so frightened that she kept moving backwards, and her heart was almost jumping out of her chest.
"Hey, the girl now, looking at the thin skin and tender meat, is it so difficult to deceive?" The ghost sighed, its lizard-like tongue sticking out, licking its cheek.
"You...... What the hell are you? The man reluctantly drew his knife and aimed it at him.
The ghost didn't look at him, but just asked: "Master, I finally woke up and was beaten by you in the teahouse, and I lost the adult, I won't let you go, but if you want your daughter to live, it's best to cooperate." ”
"Let my daughter go, I promise you everything!" The man said categorically.
"Oh? Is it? The ghost smiled and asked, "Do you want to give everything?" ”
"What do you want?" The man has seen some of the world in the end, and he is calm.
"Then hand over the real stuff you're escorting." The ghost said lightly.
"What are you talking about?" The flesh on the man's face trembled: "We are a coffin, how can there be anything real......"
"Ho-ho-ho, it's just a coffin?" The ghost creature said coldly: "You can't fool you, if it weren't for that thing, I wouldn't have woken up." ”
The man didn't say a word, but the hand holding the knife trembled.
The ghost glanced at him, "Don't say anything, then I'll cut off your daughter's hands and feet in front of you, and eat it bite by bite." ”
The ghost creature was resolute, her neck grew suddenly, her cheeks became sharp, and her mouth was wide open, and it stretched out directly in front of the little girl, who was so frightened that she screamed miserably, she turned her head and cried and screamed, "Help...... Daddy, help, hand that thing over...... Hand it over, and we'll run ......"
The man's face was already pale, but he still didn't speak, he looked at his daughter and said sorry.
If you hand it over, the whole village will be slaughtered.
The daughter was completely desperate and cried, the blood mouth opened wider and wider, and the fishy hot air spewed out, and the sharp teeth could bite off her body directly as long as they suddenly closed, and swallow it in one gulp.
At this moment, another footstep came from behind, very soft, but interrupted the slaughter that was about to begin.
"Who?"
The ghost retracted its head sharply, sat upright, and looked behind it.
A young man in black clothes walked from the mountain road, with sword eyebrows and thin lips, black hair and shawl, and a cold face.
The ghost thing turned its head, very puzzled...... This mountain road is extremely long, there is no one along the way, and even a ghost is only himself, where did this young man come from?
It was the little girl who recognized him first, "You...... It's you! You really are alive! ”
When she had collected the body she had bought, she had seen this young man, the young man was extremely handsome, his body was strong, and his muscles were like water, which was enough to make people fall in love at first sight, the only regret was that he was no longer breathing, as if he were a corpse.
What impressed her even more was that the young man also had a sword by his side, and the sword was very protective of the lord and would not be touched by others.
"Oh...... Crawled out of the coffin, it seems that you are also a living dead, and the road is really narrow. ”
The ghost thing's stretched eyebrows expanded, he looked at the sword in the young man's hand, and sneered: "It seems that it is still a practicing family, so let's beat you with a tooth sacrifice today." ”
As he spoke, the ghost creature went from sitting cross-legged to standing upright, and it stretched out its arms, twisting softly, and thin scales began to grow on its arms.
Seeing this scene, the man holding the knife was shocked, "Dragonborn...... You're a Dragonborn...... You escaped from that prison! You've really escaped! ”
"Heh, it's rare and weird." The ghost said lazily.
That being said, he was extremely proud of who he was as a Dragonborn, even if there might only be a drop of blood in his body.
The slender ghost creature jumped up from the carriage and pounced on the seemingly weak boy like lightning.
Everyone thought that the boy was going to be torn to pieces quickly, after all, how many pounds and taels can a corpse have?
The ghost thinks so, too.
But as he approached, he saw that the young man was not at all afraid, but raised his left hand, bent his five fingers, and spat out three words lightly; "Dragonclaw."
