Chapter Seventy-One: Meet the Cat
When the night had faded and the thin light spilled into the narrow room, Lin Shouxi reflected on the fact that he had wasted a night's time, and then he brought the wooden plank by the window, closed it on the earthen window, blocked the light, and pretended that the night had not passed.
Regarding the cry for help at the end of the book, he only thought it was funny - the author of this book stepped on the nine heavens in the book, fought all the gods, refined the stars, slaved the road, and burned the sky and boiled the sea, but in reality, he wanted to write the distress letter in the form of a hidden poem in the book, which was funny.
Lin Shouxi didn't take this call for help too seriously, after all, according to Chen Ning, this book is almost a household name in the Three Realms Village, and such an obvious hidden poem will not be discovered by anyone, and the person who wants to write this book has already been saved.
He put the book aside, meditated, and the purple qi pill swirled smoothly in his body, continuously absorbing the true qi, removing the turnips and preserving the essence, and turning it into use.
Except for the shattered black scales, there were almost no other injuries on his body.
Lin Shouxi is now in the Xuanzi Realm, and there is a hidden sign of golden light swallowing purple qi, with the white pupil and black phoenix sword sutra truly reaching the first level, his control of 'water' is far beyond the scope of the Xuanzi realm, and the dragon snatcher taught by the old man - not so much this is a technique, but some kind of instinct that he has long forgotten, but suddenly awakened.
The black and green ghost things in the previous first-line gorge were by no means weak, but the demon was one foot high and one foot high, and this dragon snatcher seemed to be mediocre, but the suppressive power of the descendants of the dragon clan was amazing.
The White Pupil Black Phoenix Sword Sutra and the Dragon Snatcher are both powerful and mysterious martial arts, but he always feels that he still lacks a unique technique for him.
After the true qi had been running for a few weeks, it happened that Chen Ning came to knock on the door and invited him out to eat together.
"Huh? Is Childe reading this book too? Chen Ning looked at the books beside the bed and asked.
"No, I just flipped through it." Lin Shouxi said.
"That's right, a real immortal like Childe should be scornful of such books." Chen Ning said firmly.
Lin Shouxi was noncommittal, and just went out with her.
Rice is not eaten here, but the bowl is filled with cocoon-like plants in the field, which is said to be one of the gifts of the sacred mulberry tree, and eating it will prolong life.
Chen Ning's father thanked him for saving his life, saying that he was also quite influential in the Three Realms Village, and if the son was in need, he would just tell him.
Lin Shouxi was not pretending to be polite, he directly explained his intentions: "I want to meet the people in the sacred mountain of Xian Village." ”
"The master of the evil slayer division......
"Slay the Evil Division?"
Lin Shouxi had heard of this name, as the name suggests, it was sent by Shenshan to kill demons and eliminate demons.
"Well, although we are outside the city, in order to prevent the breeding of evil god worship organizations, almost all villages and towns outside the city have people who kill evil gods as a control." The man explained.
Lin Shouxi nodded, expressing understanding, thinking that a family like the Wu family should have been secretly covered by the guards, so they became a fish that slipped through the net outside the control of the Divine Mountain.
It is conceivable that there are many such fish in the vast wasteland, and some of them may worship evil gods and plot how to revive them.
"How do I meet the people of the Evil Slayer?" Lin Shouxi asked.
"You don't need to see him, someone like Childe, he will come and take the initiative to find you." Chen Ning said with a smile.
"When will it come?" Lin Shouxi asked.
Before the words fell, a gray dress appeared at the door.
Lin Shouxi finished eating the food in the dishes and chopsticks before getting up and walking out.
Through the bright light, Lin Shouxi saw this huge village more clearly, the village looked like nothing special, ending with the giant tree, houses, trees, rivers, roads, mounds, everything was arranged in a scattered line, until the towering city wall cut off everything.
The only thing that makes people feel strange is that it is obviously broad daylight, but the fairy village is still shrouded in darkness, and you can only vaguely see the situation inside.
This time, Lin Shouxi quickly found the reason for the dimness of Xiancun - the lamp.
Lamps are hung from house to house in Xiancun, and it stands to reason that lamps should be used for lighting, but the lights here go the opposite way, they absorb all the light that shines into Xiancun, so that Xiancun is always shrouded in mysterious darkness.
Unless he used the realm of the Xuanzi Realm, his gaze would not be able to escape the blockade of these black lights.
Are the people of Xiancun doing something unseemly...... Lin Shouxi became alert.
The path they traveled in the fairy village twisted and turned, and eventually, the man in gray led him to a mansion. The Evil Slayer Division is worthy of being the minister of the Divine Mountain, even if he comes to such a poor mountain and bad water place, the house he lives in is still more spacious and beautiful than ordinary people.
The gray-clothed man stopped at the door, bypassing the shadow wall, two maids in colorful clothes ushered in, bowed and saluted, one of the maids led Lin Shouxi to the door, took out a key, inserted the lock hole, turned a few times and the door opened, behind the door was a courtyard, the yard was lit with lights, and dozens of rare and exotic stamens were opened under the light.
The maid stopped there.
Lin Shouxi walked through the flower path alone, lifted the curtain and entered the house, a woman in a gorgeous robe stood behind the curtain, stared at him coldly, and asked, "You are the newcomer from the Three Realms Village?" ”
"Yes." Lin Shouxi looked at this woman, she was born beautiful, but for some reason she gave people an uncomfortable feeling.
"Before entering the house, Childe has to answer a few questions." The woman said.
Lin Shouxi thought it was another question to explore his identity, but the woman slowly spoke and asked, "How many corners are there in the stone lamps at the door?" How many flowers are there on the clothes of those two maids? How many turns did the key turn when you opened the door? How many flowers are there in the garden? ”
"Six, sixty-four, two, five, eighteen." Lin Shouxi replied quickly.
The woman's pupils showed a different color.
"Childe is worthy of being a cultivator, and his memory is amazing."
"Can I go in?" Lin Shouxi asked.
"Hmm...... And one last question. ”
The corners of the woman's lips curled and she laughed, "Childe sees me as a man or a woman?" ”
Lin Shouxi didn't answer, he looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, and finally knew where his uncomfortable feeling came from.
The woman covered her lips and laughed stupidly, she stepped out of the way and saluted, "Childe, please come in." ”
Waiting for him in the room is a young man with a handsome face, the young man's black hair and shawl are white like snow, the red spots on his eyebrows are as small as pinprick, but he is also eye-catching and gorgeous, he is waving a curl, seeing Lin Shouxi come in, he hung up his pen, and a pair of clear eyes stared at the black-clothed young man in front of him, with a smile.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time."
The white-clothed young man smiled and introduced himself: "My name is Zhong Wushi, I am from Shenshou Mountain, one of the three sacred mountains, I am the master of the evil slaying division here, looking at Lin Gongzi's outfit, he should also be from the sacred mountain." ”
"Well, I'm from Yunkong Mountain." Lin Shouxi said.
"Cloud Sky Mountain...... No wonder. The white-clothed man who claimed to be Zhong Wushi lowered his head in contemplation and asked, "Who are you a disciple?" ”
"Chu Yingchan, Chu Fairy." Lin Shouxi didn't know anyone else, so he casually reported Chu Yingchan's name, although Shenshou Mountain and Yunkong Mountain are both sacred mountains, but as the saying goes, the next mountain is like a separate mountain, and Zhong Wushi can't tell it clearly.
Sure enough, Zhong Wushi showed a sudden expression, smiled and said a few words, 'Long admiration, long admiration', and then asked: "Yunkong Mountain is more than 100,000 miles away from here, how could Gongzi come here as a disciple of Yunkong Mountain?" ”
"It's a long story......"
Lin Shouxi frowned, as if he still had lingering palpitations about the past experience, he muttered: "There is a family on the wasteland that believes in evil gods and wants to cause chaos, I was ordered by my master to go to destroy their conspiracy, who expected that the flood would break out, although I escaped with the turtle breath technique, there was no danger of my life, but it was difficult to stop the water, drifted with the tide, and woke up here after waking up." ”
"I see," Zhong Wushi sighed, "It'......s really dangerous on the wasteland, even if it's as expensive as an immortal, you don't want to set foot on it." ”
After sighing, Zhong Wushi asked, "Do you want to go back?" ”
"Of course." Lin Shouxi said.
"I want to go back too." Zhong Wushi said helplessly.
"Isn't your term of office at the end of the Demon Slayer?" Lin Shouxi asked.
"Nope! It should have ended a year ago. Zhong Wushi's expression flickered.
Lin Shouxi felt a little wrong, "No one came to take over your shift?" ”
"The people who took over my class can't get in, and I can't get out." Zhong Wuchang sighed, his expression was gloomy, he looked at Lin Shouxi, and said, "Tell you the truth...... The sacred mountain is in the south, if you want to go to the sacred mountain, you must pass through the Three Realms mountain range behind the Three Realms Village, although this mountain range is high and difficult, but it is by no means an insurmountable realm, but ......"
Zhong Wushi closed his eyes and said in an incredible tone:
"But a year ago, the mountain was sealed."
……
The Three Realms Mountain is steep and straight, the section is like a mirror, there are no miscellaneous trees, the goshawk is difficult to cross, like a heavy sword, starting from the mortal world, straight into the sky.
Lin Shouxi came to the top of the mountain alone and saw the distant mountains of the Three Realms Mountain, it was already noon.
The Three Realms Mountains are by no means lush. Like other mountains in the wasteland, the soil here is so polluted that only a few plants such as the iron tree can take root, and the long drought and lack of rain make the mountains almost a patchwork of barren gravel, but in such a desolate mountain, it is filled with a thick fog, it is like an illusory river flowing through the riverbed, a vast soup, but not a drop of water can moisten the soil.
Fog, fog again......
Lin Shouxi felt a headache when he saw the fog, as if they were the real entanglements of grievances.
According to Zhong Wushi, these fogs are extremely strange, and people enter them and keep moving forward, but they will come out of the place where they entered.
Lin Shouxi tried it in the spirit of seeking truth and pragmatism, and found that it was indeed the case...... This is similar to the fog of the Divine Domain.
The Three Realms Mountain is a natural hazard on which the Three Realms Village depends, with large lakes on both sides, and it is also unrealistic to take a detour.
Lin Shouxi was not surprised that he had an accident.
On the contrary, he calmed down more, according to his experience, the white mist represented ominous, and there might be something big about this Three Realms Village...... He didn't want to solve any big problems, he just wanted to settle down in the torrent and see Xiao He safely.
But this mountain has been sealed for a year, how did you get here?
Lin Shouxi couldn't figure it out.
On the way down the mountain, the Zhangong Sword suddenly flashed with a faint light...... Is this little girl here again?
He put his hand on his sword.
Soon, the sword tower and the girl I saw yesterday reappeared in the field of vision.
"Good morning."
Today, the little girl changed into a water-green skirt, her hair was carefully groomed, decorated with a small fine blonde comb, she beckoned, and said hello to Lin Shouxi in the air.
"Isn't it noon?" Lin Shouxi thought that there was a time difference between them.
"Hmm...... When I wake up, when is morning. The little girl said with a heartfelt voice.
"That'...... Good morning. Lin Shouxi had no way to refute.
"Eh, my brother's spirit doesn't seem to be very good." She was keenly acute.
"Well, I read a book all night last night." Lin Shouxi didn't sleep all night, and climbed a big mountain again, somewhat tired.
"Brother works hard."
"It's okay......"
"My brother is so humble."
“……”
The little girl blinked, she thought of herself who liked to read idle books all day long, and admired this brother who had never met even more, although she had not known her for a long time, and had not said a few words, but the little girl had a natural affection for him.
"I wanted to say a few more words to you yesterday, but I was caught by my father and mother halfway through, and I was punished for copying the door rules......" The little girl was very aggrieved, she just wanted to simply close it tightly, Rao is so, and my father and mother have to make it difficult for themselves, "I don't know if I am biological." ”
"They're for your good." Lin Shouxi didn't have any juniors and sisters, and he didn't know how to teach children.
For such words, the little girl's ears are going to hear the cocoon, if her parents tell her, she will definitely show an impatient look, but she has been bored at home for too long, she is not allowed to go out of the house, and she faces the same group of faces every day, so she has great curiosity and tolerance for this ghost brother who suddenly broke in.
"yes, I see." The girl chick nodded like a peck and said, "I sneaked here, and I'm going to take the monthly exam at home later, huh...... It's about competing with other people. ”
Lin Shouxi felt that he should say something encouraging, so he said, "Well, pay attention to safety." ”
......The girl was finally a little unhappy, she put her little face on her face, pressed her little hands on her chest, and said, "What are you talking about?" Although I'm lazy, I'm very good, I learn chess for a month, and the husband who taught me is not my opponent, and after three months of learning swords, the guards at home can't beat me. ”
The girl looked proud, her mouth was slightly upturned, and she said: "Last night, my father blamed me for being too unenterprising, saying that they wouldn't let me go in today's monthly test, hmph, who wants others to let me......"
Lin Shouxi had already vaguely seen what would happen to her later, and he decided to pretend to be absent later, and he wouldn't touch it no matter how the sword flickered, after all, he was not good at comforting the little girl with a crying nose.
The girl didn't care about his coldness, she finally caught a stranger, as if she had endless words:
"By the way, brother, do you know how to do swordsmanship?"
"Learned a little."
"Then when I grow up and can leave the house alone, I'll come to my brother to compete, okay?" The girl began to run wild.
"Okay." Lin Shouxi has always painted flatbread neatly and neatly, without the slightest hesitation.
"Okay, that's a deal!" The girl smiled, her pretty eyes crooked.
"It's a deal." Lin Shouxi said this, but he only took it as a coaxing child, and did not take it seriously.
"Are you on your way?" The little girl noticed that the white shadow was moving, and asked curiously.
"Well, on the descent." Lin Shouxi said.
The little girl looked surprised...... Descending the mountain so early in the morning, does he live on a high mountain? According to Master, nine out of ten people who like to live on the mountains are immortals, could it be that this brother is also an immortal?
Although this is just a guess with no reason, but a child is just a child, and even if it is an unrealistic conjecture, once it appears, she will try to prove its truth.
Well...... His tone is cold, and his voice is good, which is very much in line with the characteristics of an immortal...... I must have met an immortal by accident!
Seeing that she was silent, Lin Shouxi thought that she was just thinking about things, and she couldn't think of what kind of thoughts the little girl was tumbling in her heart at the moment.
She wanted to ask a few more words, but there was a knock on the door from the sword tower, and she quickly let go of a hand.
"I'm going to kill all sides!"
The little girl said happily, waved her hand, quickly said goodbye to Lin Shouxi, and got up to leave.
The picture cuts off.
Lin Shouxi went down the Three Realms Mountain, ready to temporarily return to the village to discuss the long term, and on the way back, Lin Shouxi suddenly saw a big tree on the opposite side, and the trunk of the big tree was white, which was very eye-catching.
He immediately remembered the Tibetan poem.
Under the camphor tree...... Help me.
It can't be the tree, right?
Lin Shouxi didn't care about the life or death of Lord Yuxian, and although the white camphor tree could be seen, it was far away from him, so he didn't bother to climb the mountain again to find out.
Lin Shouxi turned his head and continued to walk in the direction of the Three Realms Village.
As he walked, he couldn't help but think of the end of the book that had been broken yesterday, and his steps became slower and slower.
It was just when the hero and his favorite woman had been separated for many years, and they were about to meet, although the hero was in the days of separation, and he was quite disdainful of it, but the bridge of the lover's meeting was always beautiful, and he couldn't help but think of Xiao He and empathize.
"Forget it, let's go check it out." Lin Shouxi finally stopped and turned his head.
Finally turned over the rocks and arrived under the white camphor tree, but Lin Shouxi didn't see the slightest figure...... It seems that he was rescued by someone else.
Just as he was about to leave, a girl's whimpering voice sounded in his ears - it was the meow of a cat.
Lin Shouxi frowned, he turned around, his eyes swept over the withered weeds under the white camphor tree, and finally froze somewhere, he leaned down, lifted the grass, and found that there was a hole there, the hole was not deep or shallow, and there was a beautiful three-flowered cat lying inside, the cat had four hooves stepping on the snow, but one of the feet was clamped by an iron clip, and it was difficult to move.
"You...... Is it the Fish Fairy? ”
When the three-flowered cat heard the human voice, its languishing eyes immediately opened, and it opened its mouth, but it made a human voice:
"Meow - is anyone finally here...... This heavenly girl patrols the territory, accidentally conspired by the gangsters, and was robbed here, you quickly unlock this heavenly lock for me, the deity reads that you have saved the driver, and you will be rewarded later! ”
