Chapter 117: Meet in the Boudoir
Walking down the barren mountain, the rocks beneath your feet became smooth and flat, the lake full of gentle moonlight rippled, and the clear, invisible wind blew endlessly, but the clouds in the sky were undisturbed and hung silently.
Compared to the barren mountains and scorched earth outside, this ordinary night scene is tantamount to a fairyland.
Mu Shijing walked down the naturally formed mountain road, his eyes glancing at the tall buildings in the distance from time to time, his frowning brows softened by the wind.
"Is this the Wu family?" Mu Shijing felt wonderful.
"Hmm."
Lin Shouxi originally thought that he was not far away from the Wu family, but he didn't expect that by accident, he would actually return here, and when the big lake high-rise crashed into sight, he recognized it for a long time before he was sure that it was real.
The parched lake bed has been replaced by water, the ancient courtyards on the cliffs have been submerged again, and a large number of birds have migrated elsewhere, leaving only a few dozen to wander.
Lin Shouxi walked down the mountain road and told Mu Shijing about the past.
Mu Shijing also remembered the scene when he first woke up, when a lot of birds and birds flew inexplicably on the five-flower hall in Tibetan Snake Village, and there was a ghost vulture among them, and now I think it may be the Wu family escaped.
She listened to Lin Shouxi's narration, from waking up to see Xiao He and Yun Zhenren, to later fighting side by side with Xiao He to kill Yun Zhenren, swords, blood, fighting, and the rain that lasted for a month, they all became flickering lights and shadows in this memory.
Along the lake came to the witch's house.
The door of the Wu family is locked, the iron chain has rusted, I don't know how long it has not been opened, the flag hanging outside the door has also been washed by the rain and turned white, no one has changed it to a new one, the treasures in the treasure house have been looted, and I entered the Wu family over the wall, everything that can be touched is very familiar, but there is no one here.
Many of them died in the rainstorm, and the rest moved to the walls of the gods after the catastrophe.
The day of the inheritance of the town guard has passed, and the family that was born for this purpose has lost the meaning of existence.
"She's the eldest lady here?" Mu Shijing asked.
"Hmm."
"Then this is your home."
"I'm alone, what kind of home is it?"
Without the influence of the gods, the seasons here are normal, and when you walk through the long street, you can hear the sound of falling leaves.
Lin Shouxi looked at everything he was familiar with, and his eyes were still the picture of the battle here back then.
The dilapidated house was unrepaired, and there was still a tombstone in front of the main hall, Lin Shouxi walked past the ruin-like Wu family, silent, and the girl with only thin socks next to him looked left and right, and did not know what he was looking for.
"Instead of touching the scene here, it's better to find your wife, she may be here now." Mu Shijing said with a smile.
Lin Shouxi looked at the desolate Wu family and smiled, "How is it possible." ”
"Sincerity is spirituality." Mu Shijing was very interested, she folded her hands behind her back, and said, "Take me to her boudoir to have a look." ”
"No." Lin Shouxi refused.
"Why?"
"The cave house between me and Xiao He is a pure land, how can you let this demon girl be defiled?" Lin Shouxi said with a smile.
Mu Shijing snorted lightly, but she didn't quarrel with him, she stopped for a moment, looked at the darkness in front of her, and her expression became extremely alert.
"What's wrong?" Lin Shouxi frowned.
Mu Shijing's perception is much stronger than his, she can perceive many things that she can't perceive, and seeing Mu Shijing retracting his smile without warning at this moment, Lin Shouxi is inevitably a little nervous.
The girl stood still for a while, looked ahead, and whispered, "There are ghosts." ”
"Ghosts?"
"Hmmm......"
"Where the hell?" Lin Shouxi was also on guard.
Mu Shijing turned his head like a clockwork doll, staring at Lin Shouxi with slightly dull eyes, and then quickly reached out and knocked a chestnut on his forehead, "Stingy ghost!" ”
Lin Shouxi was stunned for a moment before he realized that he had been tricked, he shook his head, and didn't bother to fight back, just said: "You really don't have a long memory at all." ”
"Memory? This is a familiar place, people go to empty buildings, dead like a cemetery, there will be no more problems. Mu Shijing said nonchalantly.
The words fell.
A terrible roar came from a distance, and the knife slashed through the sky above the Wu family, shaking them all over their bodies and trembling in their hearts. After the first scream, more and more terrible voices followed, terrible and painful, as if some evil spirit was gnawing at its own kind.
"It's ......"
Lin Shouxi looked in the direction of the Demon Killing Courtyard.
Pond of Evil.
The sound comes from the pool of evil!
There are countless monsters sealed in the evil pool, although he killed a number of them in the past, but the evil pool is so big, even Yun Zhenren in the immortal realm is unwilling to get involved in it, and now that the town guard is dead, the monsters in the evil pool want to be even more rampant...... That filthy land of dragon corpses and evil spirits hides some strange creatures.
"Let's go, let's see." Lin Shouxi said.
Mu Shijing touched his lips, there was always an illusion that this monster was called by himself...... Could it be that he really has some calamity?
Crossing the long street, past the empty demon killing courtyard, a tall and thick white wall appeared in front of them, this wall itself is also a kind of magic circle, the stone bricks on the top of it are engraved with inscriptions, evil turbidity is close to death, even flying monsters can not cross.
Generally speaking, the high walls used for defense have a similar design of the magic circle, so even when the dragon corpse breaks through the wall, it does not flutter its wings and flies over, but crashes into the wall.
The stone gate was closed, and they didn't have a way to open it, and they didn't dare to rush over the high wall, so they came to the nearby tall building and looked down.
"These buildings are all built to kill the monsters in the evil pool, although they were badly damaged when killing the red pupil dragon corpse, they should still be usable."
Lin Shouxi climbed the tall building and immediately went to find the weapon hidden on the upper floor.
Mu Shijing deftly climbed out of the window and came to the roof, the line of perception extended downward, leaning into the white wall, and a group of black demon shadows instantly poured into consciousness.
Without the monthly slaying of evil spirits, the filth and filth in it began to gather rampantly and grow wildly, and now it has become a trend.
Although they are not powerful, when they gather together, the dense shadows that move like a rash growing on the earth can't help but make people's scalps tense and shiver.
But eliminating the demon defense path is a matter within the Daomen, and Mu Shijing has no reason to retreat.
"Are you ready?"
Mu Shijing stood on the roof of the building and asked.
Lin Shouxi's response came from inside the building.
He had removed his dusty weapon, and the iron boring poked out of the window and aimed it at the pool of evil. This is a weapon made of pig iron, ancient and cold, it looks like a firearm in the old world, but its surface is full of square characters, it should be a great talisman master who has opened it up, Lin Shouxi groped for a while, and roughly understood its usage.
When the weapon was launched, the six runes at the entrance of the cave shot out light, condensing a ball of light without temperature, Lin Shouxi launched it according to the direction reported by Mu Shijing, and the ball of light shot out, dragging out a long and dazzling flame tail, and smashed into the pool.
"Thirteen, nine, forty, five, seventy-nine, thirty."
Mu Shijing uses numbers to represent directions.
When the words fell, a white light lit up in the corresponding position, blasting the condensed demon turbidity into a splash of silt like a devastating devastation, and the demonic roar and screams became more and more terrible, and they fled in fright within the wall, not knowing where the catastrophe came from.
Mu Shijing's words were understated, as if he was just pointing out people to play chess, and from time to time he had to ridicule Lin Shouxi a few words, ridiculing him for not shooting accurately.
"Why don't you come?"
Lin Shouxi couldn't stand the girl's ridicule.
"How can a military advisor personally put on armor and go into battle? Strategizing in the account is the real chic. Mu Shijing said, "Hmm...... Go down a bit. ”
Lin Shouxi was alone controlling such a huge weapon, his muscles were a little painful, he didn't have Mu Shijing's perception, he could only rely on her command, and finally, when the paper talisman was about to run out, he finally heard Mu Shijing say: "The last one." ”
She jumped lightly from the top of the building, stepping on the body of the leaning out of the tall building, her movements gracefully, the cannon body was lowered by her, and the fire of the rune was also deflected, throwing a pleasing arc in the air, accurately hitting a puddle of twisted demonic turbidity, blasting it into mud.
The fire was extinguished, and the girl stood at the tip of the weapon, turned around, and the evening breeze blew, and the black dress flew.
Lin Shouxi looked away.
The riots in the Evil Pool have been temporarily eliminated, and the source of the riots is just a group of demons gathered around the wall, which is not worth mentioning, and it can even be said that it is only a one-sided massacre.
"Well done."
Mu Shijing's head was slightly tilted, smiling and complimenting, she was about to walk along the iron cylinder into the window, but the smile was fixed on her face again, she turned her head sharply, and looked at the evil pool with a sharp gaze.
"Something......" she said.
Lin Shouxi thought she was still scary, but this time, Mu Shijing's expression was scary.
"What do you see?" Lin Shouxi asked.
Mu Shijing's expression quickly faded, "It seems that I was wrong." ”
"What the hell?" Lin Shouxi's curiosity was aroused.
This time, Mu Shijing didn't have an appetite for him, she said coldly: "I just ...... It's as if I saw a person. ”
"How can there be anyone in the pool?" Lin Shouxi shook his head, and then his expression was shocked, "Could it be ......?"
"It's not your wife." Mu Shijing knew what he was thinking, "That thing is very evil, and it will be gone in a flash...... Maybe I'm looking at it wrong. ”
Lin Shouxi looked towards the evil pool, the screams of the evil pool were gone, it was dark, and nothing could be seen.
Pond ...... Yes...... Person?
……
After getting off the tall building, Lin Shouxi and Mu Shijing went to the Demon Killing Courtyard to rest for a while.
Cham Palace emitted light.
Lin Shouxi was pleasantly surprised at first, but he soon discovered that it was not Xiao Yu who contacted him, but Zhan Gong who was close to the Sword Pavilion where he had stayed, and he had a feeling. Surprise turned into loss.
"Why do you always have such a big emotional fluctuation when you see it glowing?" Mu Shijing asked.
She had noticed the anomaly as early as when she was in White Snow Ridge.
"You're wrong." Lin Shouxi flatly denied it.
"Don't try to lie to me, I can feel it." Mu Shijing was suspicious: "You shouldn't have raised some little wife in the sword, right?" ”
"What do you want?"
For a little girl like Xiao Yu, Lin Shouxi felt that no matter how much he was a beast, he would not be able to give birth to other emotions other than master and apprentice.
"There must be ghosts." Mu Shijing narrowed his eyes and said firmly.
Lin Shouxi didn't want to talk to her, and was secretly vigilant in his heart, he must not teach Xiaoyu to look like a demon girl like Mu Shijing.
"Where will you sleep tonight?" Mu Shijing asked.
Originally, when he was in the barren mountains and mountains, it was difficult to find a broken temple, but now looking at the countless empty buildings, Mu Shijing has a feeling that he loves countless concubines and doesn't know who to turn over.
"Just find a room to rest for the night, and we'll continue our journey tomorrow morning." Lin Shouxi said.
"Stay two more days?" Mu Shijing asked.
"A building without people is just an empty building, what is there to treat, so as not to delay the business." Lin Shouxi said.
Mu Shijing nodded and said, "I want to sleep in Xiao He's house." ”
"No, that's our wedding room, how can we let you get there first?" Of course, Lin Shouxi would not agree.
"Well, let's play a game."
"What game?"
"I'll guess which room is Xiao He's, and if I guess, let me live in it, how about it?"
"What if you can't guess?"
"If you can't guess, you'll be at your disposal." Mu Shijing pulled a lock of hair behind his ear, looked sideways, and smiled lightly on his red lips.
Lin Shouxi didn't know where her confidence was, what she wanted to guess was not the building, but the room, there were hundreds of rooms in the Wu family, and it didn't look any different to the naked eye, how could she guess?
He agreed to Mu Shijing's game.
Mu Shijing's eyes revealed a strange look.
Mu Shijing was not angry, she stood next to a tree, her eyes swept over the dark high-rise building, raised her hand, her fingertips crossed the void, moved somewhere, and stayed still.
"There." She said.
"You mean that building?" Lin Shouxi asked.
"No, it's the one behind it." Mu Shijing said firmly.
"How do you know?" Lin Shouxi asked in surprise.
"Because I perceive it, and there's ...... there. Light. Mu Shijing said softly.
The light in her mouth is not symbolic, but candlelight.
Bypassing the high-rise building in front of him, there was really candlelight in the field of vision, the entire Wu family was dark, only there was a light on, and that was where Xiao He's boudoir was! Lin Shouxi stood on the street, his whole body seemed to freeze, he stared there blankly, and blinked vigorously several times to confirm that he was not mistaken.
Mu Shijing obviously inadvertently noticed the candle flame, so he made a temporary decision to make this bet with Lin Shouxi.
But when he entered the Wu family before, Xiao He's boudoir was still dark, why did it suddenly become brighter?
Was it because the demon killing movement in the evil pool was too big before, and the girl who was sleeping woke up?
Yes, if Xiao He wants to go north, he will definitely go home first......
At this moment, complicated feelings surged into his chest, and Lin Shouxi hesitated in place, feeling a sense of homesickness.
"So what are you waiting for?" Mu Shijing pushed him, "If you don't see your wife again, she will fly away." ”
Lin Shouxi's thoughts were pulled back by Mu Shijing's cold words, and he walked forward quickly and ran towards the building.
When Lin Shouxi ran downstairs, he suddenly remembered something, turned around, and saw Mu Shijing walking here unhurriedly, her hands behind her back, her eyes narrowed, and the corners of her lips smiled.
"Okay, if I'm right, I'm going to sleep there tonight."
"But ......"
Lin Shouxi found that he had fallen into the trap again, and he reunited with Xiao He after a long absence, but he was followed by a frighteningly beautiful young girl, and he also asked Xiao He to let her room out......
Everyone else is newlywed, how is his departure different from going to the land of Shura purgatory?
"What's the matter, if you make a contract, you won't regret it." Mu Shijing slowly walked past him and stepped on the spiral staircase, "Let's go, go upstairs, let's meet ...... Miss Xiaohe. ”
Lin Shouxi followed her with mixed feelings, always feeling that something was going to happen.
"Want to explain our relationship?" Mu Shijing lowered his voice and asked.
"We are not afraid of shadows, if there is anything to explain, let's just say that we are friends." Lin Shouxi pretended to be calm, but his heart was beating hard, he didn't dare to tell Mu Shijing that the words he used to describe her in front of Xiao He were 'five big and three coarse'.
"It's useless to admit your innocence, you have to believe it from other girls, the word friend can be near or far, it's too ambiguous." Mu Shijing is kind and seductive.
"What do you want?" Lin Shouxi asked.
"In this way, we will recognize my sister and brother, and with blood as a guarantee, she will not suspect anything." Mu Shijing proposed.
"Why not brother and sister?" Lin Shouxi bargained. He doesn't call this demon girl sister of the same age.
"Don't you want to?" Mu Shijing asked.
Lin Shouxi was still hesitating.
Mu Shijing showed a touching expression, her hand pressed her flat lower abdomen, and said: "When you died in the city, you tricked me with a scheme, pressed me in front of the Guanyin platform, went to my Taoist skirt, and took away my innocence...... I, I don't hate it anymore, but although you have a new love, even if you are tired of me, you shouldn't abandon the baby in my womb, this, this is your own flesh and blood......"
"Sister Mu!" Lin Shouxi cut the railway.
"That's good." Mu Shijing immediately smiled, stretched out his hand and rubbed his hair, "I'll listen to it again?" ”
"Sister...... Sister. ”
"Be clear."
"Sister Shijing......"
Lin Shouxi swallowed this breath for the sake of the beauty of meeting Xiao He.
Mu Shijing was also very happy to see that this old enemy was forced to reluctantly recognize herself as a leader, she grabbed his hand and walked upstairs quickly, "Hurry up, I'm going to see my brother and sister." ”
Xiao He's boudoir was on the roof of the building, and along the way, Lin Shouxi was forced to call his sister dozens of times.
Finally arrived at the door.
Mu Shijing also quieted down, she felt that this moment was beautiful, so she didn't tease Lin Shouxi to spoil the scenery.
Lin Shouxi knocked on the door.
There was no response from inside the door.
He frowned, knocked a few more times, the candlelight in the room was warm, but there was still no response.
This is...... What's wrong?
Lin Shouxi pushed the door open.
Ink painting screens, red lacquer tables, pen, ink and paper inkstones, carved wooden beds, fine bamboo curtains...... Everything in the room is still the same as before, warm and nostalgic, but the girl who used to have snowy hair and red dress is gone, only the candle is burning on the table.
Since there is no one, who lit the candle?
"There's someone down there." Mu Shijing said.
"Below?" Lin Shouxi realized that the two rooms were connected.
Is Xiao He in his room?
He took apart the floor and jumped down, and before his feet hit the ground, something jumped up in the darkness behind him, and with a shout, he struck him with a hammer on the back of his head.
Lin Shouxi used the scabbard of the Zhan Palace.
Then he heard the sound of something falling to the ground and the exclamation of the little girl.
"Who are you? How did you end up here? ”
Mu Shijing also jumped down, looked at the cute girl who fell to the ground, and asked.
Lin Shouxi also had doubts, this little girl looked as big as Xiaoyu, her face was pink and very beautiful and lovely, although she had never seen it, but it gave him an inexplicable sense of intimacy. This is...... Are the Wu family's artifacts refined?
The little girl was frightened when the sneak attack failed, she listened to the sister's questioning, and said timidly:
"The little senior sister warned Bai Zhu not to tell her name to strangers."
