Luo Chu'e pulled her fingers and turned around, and the white-clothed fairy who was slightly lifted fell to the ground, she snorted lightly, her body did not feel much discomfort, but she felt a trace of warmth when her hand touched the red mark on her eyebrows.

Lin Shouxi's bet was just to delay time, but he didn't expect Luo Chu'e to make such a decision.

"No!" Lin Shouxi said immediately.

He has been doing arithmetic since he was a child, and he has mastered the use of abacus when other children are still counting with their fingers.

Thirty days...... Lin Shouxi didn't need to calculate carefully to know that as long as Chu Yingchan had a trace of desire, no matter how small this desire was, it would swell into an unimaginable behemoth after thirty days.

Wrong...... It won't take more than thirty days, or even half a month, for Chu Yingchan to be devoured by the fission desire in this red seal and lose all her senses!

As long as the expansion of desire cannot be stopped, this is an impossible bet to win, if Chu Yingchan blindly holds on, it is very likely to end up in a god-like end.

"It's not up to you."

Luo Chu'e smiled and walked to the throne, her dark hair flowing through the breath of the netherworld, and her long skirt was full of dragons and phoenixes, "The gambling contract has been made, there is no regret, don't think I'm bullying you, it's just the mercy of this seat that I am willing to bet with you, remember, you are not outsiders who belong here, and I don't need to follow any rules when I treat you." ”

Luo Chu'e sat back on the throne, her legs folded, and the goddess, who had already fallen, looked down at them and said lightly: "Don't look at me with such eyes, it's not a virtue to take revenge...... Well, well, the bet begins, and if she dies because of it, it's your responsibility, after all, it's yours to make the deal. ”

Luo Chu'e looked at the pair of masters and apprentices, as if she remembered something extremely happy, and giggled, she hadn't been so happy for a long time, as if someone who had seen the sea for the first time had picked up the first shell.

"This seal is transformed by the law of the Great Dao of the Immortal Country, Only I can go down, only I can solve it, you can surrender to me at any time and beg for mercy, the key to surrender is on you, let it be stained with forbidden blood...... Of course, whether to spare you or not depends on the mood of this seat that day. Luo Chu'e didn't bother to say anything, she flicked her sleeves and gently covered her thighs.

She spoke to herself, as if a little girl had a wonderful idea and was eager to share it, she didn't need to listen to anyone, she was the queen of the place, and she could let her heart pile up the sand she wanted.

"Okay, in the next month, you will be placed under house arrest, you don't need to worry too much about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and you will be rewarded for showing me your master-apprentice drama."

Luo Chu'e pointed at her fingertips.

The ring on her ring finger was inlaid with a little golden fire, and the flame glowed brightly with her thoughts, and the space was swept by the light, vibrating with layers of ripples.

After Lin Shouxi and Chu Yingchan disappeared, the pride and enchantment on Luo Chu'e's face were also washed away by the cold firelight of the palace, and became indifferent and blurred, her fingers gently stroked the complicated old text on the dark brown thin socks, and the ancient words were like hesitation attracted by bait, flying around her fingertips, like a string of butterflies.

"Did I smell it wrong, why did I perceive it...... The smell of other women? Luo Chu'e played with the ancient words lightly, frowned, and muttered to herself.

……

The immortal city is surrounded by a whole circle of black city walls, with Luo Chu'e's palace as the boundary, its front is the abode of the soul, and the back is the purgatory Jedi seen before, except for the palace of the king, it is difficult to see normal buildings here, and the same is true of the house under house arrest Lin Shouxi and Chu Yingchan.

It is constructed like a waterwheel, but it is much larger than a normal waterwheel. It rotated slowly and evenly, and it took exactly twelve hours for each turn—the world was isolated, there were no sun, moon or stars, but time was unified with the outside world.

The interior of this watermill is spacious and inhabitable, and the dwellings are divided into twelve pieces next to each other, and eleven of them are used for felons.

Lin Shouxi and Chu Yingchan were locked up in the only empty room.

The watermill cell was in the middle of a ring of tall buildings, and at the door of it stood a wooden-looking man, whose mind was crossed with a thin line, and a bell was tied to the thin line, and he was in the doorway like a butler, and when someone walked by, his mind was alarmed, and the bell tied to it made a sound.

The butler didn't move, there was a red circle under his feet, which was proof of binding, and there were hundreds of circles like this painted here, and they were changing directions all the time, and if someone strayed into it, they would be bound. In addition, there is a guard standing on the surrounding circular black building, and he is holding a knife in his arms, which is not so much a knife as a knife style, a knife style practiced to the extreme! There were nine more like him, lurking in the shadows, staring at the watermill tower, and many kite-like birds flying above them.

Everything outside the watermill prison is locked, no one can get out, no one can enter.

This is Luo Chu'e's house arrest for them.

Lin Shouxi watched all this from the window, every corner of his eyes seemed to be stared at, leaving no gap, Chu Yingchan sat opposite him.

The fairy in white sat quietly, her black ruler across the table, her hands obediently on her thighs, she also looked out the window, silent and silent.

The bet has begun, the gears of time are spinning all the time, and there is not much left for them.

"Are you alright?" Lin Shouxi looked back from the window.

"I don't feel anything yet." Chu Yingchan rubbed her eyebrows with her fingers and said.

Except for one more eyebrow mark, this fairy is no different from usual, she is as cold as frost, rather than a autumn lake, like a natural fairy. It's just that this kind of quiet and flawless temperament is just whitewashing, and they all know in their hearts that in a few days, she will be captured by the red seal.

The growth of that fear is terrifying in numbers alone, and it is by no means something that the human spiritual will can overcome.

"Do you have any ideas?" Chu Yingchan asked.

"Well, the way is nothing more than those ......" Lin Shouxi began to analyze with her one by one:

"Desires multiply, and if you don't have any desires for your own children, there's no point in doubling them."

"It can't be." Chu Yingchan's head shook.

As long as you are human, you will definitely have a desire, and this desire does not matter the depth, and after thirty days, it will become meaningless and huge.

"Doesn't the Dao Sect have a spell of pure heart and tranquility that can temporarily and completely suppress desires?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"Yes, but the Daomen does not cultivate the ruthless Tao of the absolute heart, the so-called pure heart and tranquility are like meditation, it only makes people forget about other things temporarily, and it will not change anything." Chu Yingchan explained.

"What about the curse?" Lin Shouxi continued to ask: "This slaarity seal is a curse mark, is there a way to crack it?" ”

After the red seal was planted in the center of her eyebrows, Chu Yingchan was looking for a way to crack it, and when Lin Shouxi asked, she just shook her head lightly and said, "I tried to untie it, but it is like a tightly entangled wire, I can't find the end of the rope, I can't find the solution, and I can't even shake it." ”

"Is it like a divine order?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"Hmm......" Chu Yingchan groaned slightly, but nodded.

She had also tried countless times to unlock the divine servant order in her body, but she was like a straw stalk and locked it, and it was in vain in the face of the impregnable seal.

The two glanced at each other, and they both had the same idea - to fight poison with poison.

The Divine Servant Order is a divine seal created by the God of Guarding, and the Slaanesh Curse is a divine technique created by Luo Chu'e, and they appeared on Chu Yingchan's body at the same time, and I don't know who has more control over her body.

The two tried it.

Lin Shouxi and Chu Yingchan soon discovered that what the divine servant order could control was mainly Chu Yingchan's body, which could make her body bow down, but it could not make her willing, but the curse of slaunder was different, this was a technique of attacking the heart.

They don't seem to interfere with river water.

Before betting with Luo Chu'e, Lin Shouxi expected that she would have extraneous branches, but the Divine Servant Order was the biggest secret and hole card between him and Chu Yingchan, and if it lost its effectiveness, it would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to them.

"Don't be disappointed, at least until your consciousness is swallowed up, I can use the Divine Acolyte to make you fall into a real coma, and the heart without the role of consciousness is a real iron wall, even Slaanesh may not be able to penetrate." Lin Shouxi's thoughts flew around, thinking of countermeasures.

This method may be effective, but even if it works, it will only quench a momentary thirst, and once Chu Yingchan's consciousness recovers slightly, it will still be eaten by the spell.

As long as Luo Chu'e's statement is not wrong, this kind of spell is a demon that eats people and does not spit out bones, compared to it, the pill refined by Lin Shouxi is like maintaining health when swallowed into the body.

"Well, if there is no way to retreat, you can just make a decision." Chu Yingchan said.

Lin Shouxi listened to her firm and gentle words, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he said: "They all blame me, if it weren't for me to make extraneous branches in the theater of the drama girl, we would have strayed into this place at all." ”

"Why do you say that...... As you said, we are just pawns of the people behind the scenes, just like in the witch family at the beginning, no matter what happens in the middle, we will end up in the realm of the gods. It's not something we can change. Chu Yingchan said softly.

"Can God really determine some kind of future?" Lin Shouxi asked.

In his understanding, the future should be an inevitable and uncertain surface, rather than a specific point.

"I don't know, but ...... The first head of Yunkong Mountain is trying this. Chu Yingchan said.

"How to try?"

"The first master imagined a self - a self that was so strong that it was invincible, so perfect that it was incomparable, and he fixed this self in the future, so that Xiuzhen is no longer a story of his past self slowly growing and becoming stronger, but a certain future constantly emerging to his body. The first one has eliminated all distractions, retreated into Qingliang Mansion, and has not eaten, drunk or slept for thirty years, but it is said that during this time, his realm has been rising...... That is, he is arriving at the imaginary future that he has determined. Chu Yingchan said one of the secrets of Yunkong Mountain.

"It's amazing." Lin Shouxi was stunned for a moment, and only came back to his senses after a while.

The first time he heard this story, Lin Shouxi felt wonderful, but when he thought about it, he felt a chill down his spine, if the future could really be finalized by God with great power, then what kind of desperate world should the cultivator live in?

"Don't be afraid, there is no unbreakable cage in this world, even if it is as strong as Luo Chu'e, you are afraid of this ordinary black ruler, isn't it?" Chu Yingchan saw the look of loss on his face, smiled slightly, and said.

"Hmm."

Lin Shouxi nodded, he closed his eyes, recalling the details of getting along with Luo Chu'e.

Luo Chu'e is the master of this immortal country, whether it is the gray mist giant beast outside the city wall or all the souls inside the city wall, it seems that she has been held between the palms, their attack seems to have touched a certain wall of law, and Luo Chu'e is completely ineffective, except for when facing this black ring ruler and the Luo Shu in his body, this fallen goddess is almost perfect.

This Luo Chu'e is like the manifestation of the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal City, she is the female monarch of a country here, but she must also abide by her own rules, even for the native-born assassins, she has a tolerant side.

If the black ring ruler represents the rules that do not belong here, then what does Vena represent?

Isn't it a mind that doesn't belong to this world?

Well...... It shouldn't be that simple.

Lin Shouxi ran the Luo Shu Mental Method, which helped him to breathe out the true qi around him, and on the surface, the wind and waves were calm, like a river slowly flowing through his body, and he couldn't see anything unusual.

It was this ordinary mental method that made him miraculously stand up under Luo Chu'e's coercion.

"I really didn't expect that the son of God, who was once known as the Holy Maiden of the Divine Wall and the Iron Sword in the ancient books, would fall into this underworld and become such a witch." Chu Yingchan sighed softly, her words full of disappointment and incomprehension.

"The Holy Maiden of the Divine Wall and the Iron Sword?"

"Hmmm......"

Chu Yingchan probably told him some stories about Luo Chu'e, among the only remaining stories about her, she was so holy and beautiful, as if the light itself, and later ...... What's going on?

"Shi Yirao has pure true immortal blood, she is very similar to Luo Chu'e, she is her descendant, my mother also said that as the head of the seven goddesses of the Holy Land Temple, she is most likely to become the next saint of the temple." Chu Yingchan said everything she knew, and she felt more and more strange about fate.

Of course, it doesn't make sense to say that now, they have to think of a way to win the bet.

Lin Shouxi and Chu Yingchan discussed again and thought about several strategies, but they were all rejected one by one.

Gradually, they stopped talking, because they all had a realization in their hearts - the best way to win the bet was to defeat Luo Chu'e before Chu Yingchan could not control the curse seal.

This is the easiest and most difficult way, and may even be the only way.

They sat across from each other, looking at each other's familiar faces, and they both felt a little unreal from the silence and silence.

"If there is really no way, I will choose to do my best to save your life, I hope Fairy Chu understands." Lin Shouxi was silent for a long time, and his face was as solemn as iron.

"Hmm." Chu Yingchan lowered her head in response, she didn't go to see Lin Shouxi, and said softly: "If there is a gaffe at that time, please ...... Excuse me. ”

There was no ambiguity in their words, only solemnity and guilt.

After the two of them finished speaking, they were silent, and the silence in the room seemed to freeze.

Suddenly, the red mark on Chu Yingchan's eyebrows flickered.

Luo Chu'e made the rules of the gambling contract, and if they violated the rules, the red seal would flash to warn.

Lin Shouxi and Chu Yingchan quickly understood that their identities should be master and apprentice, but their conversations and wording were very different from this identity.

"Apprentice, you have been cultivating for more than ten years, but you have been stuck in the Xuanzi Realm, not taking half a step forward, you are talented, but you don't want to forge ahead, but you can ...... Knowing what to do? Chu Yingchan's voice was suddenly sharp, as cold as a sword.

"Yes, the disciple knows his mistake." Lin Shouxi said respectfully.

The crisp voice sounded in the house, and Chu Yingchan picked up the ring ruler and slapped a few times in Lin Shouxi's palm, showing the prestige of the teacher.

The red mark no longer flashes.

They breathed a sigh of relief, but they felt even more tired...... In addition to trying to defeat Luo Chu'e, he had to be distracted and laborious to disguise his master and apprentice, and perfunctory the red seal.

As soon as the spell stopped flickering, there was a knock on the door.

Knock knock knock......

There were twelve rooms in the huge waterwheel-like building, and the knock on the door came from a neighbor.

"Disciple, go and see." Lin Shouxi frowned slightly and got up.

Between the rooms was a heavy and huge black wooden plank, the wooden board was shaped like an iron sheet, extremely hard, Lin Shouxi opened an iron window, through a narrow iron railing, he vaguely saw the room next door.

"Hello, new neighbor."

In the next room, the girl's lively voice suddenly sounded, "Look here, look here!" Below! ”

Lin Shouxi looked down and saw a very small girl.

She looks the same size as Bai Zhu, with a slender and slender body, but she has taken off her childishness, with a girl's unique sense of youth, she took the initiative to retreat a distance in order to let Lin Shouxi see more clearly.

"Hmm...... Hello. Lin Shouxi replied bluntly.

"New friend, the house you live in is not very auspicious, I have lived here for almost two hundred years, I can't move, but the neighbor is like a rabbit, so far it has changed thirty-two terms, I hope you can stay longer."

"Promise your good words." Lin Shouxi didn't expect that this little guy would be more than two hundred years old.

"I heard you're from outside?" The little girl asked mysteriously.

"Who did you listen to?"

"It doesn't matter who you listen to...... Well, in other words, you've passed through that realm of candle smoke, how about it? See anything interesting? The little girl asked excitedly.

"Candle Smoke Realm?" Lin Shouxi looked puzzled.

"That's right, it's the place where the gray mist is shrouded, didn't you come from the Black Emperor's Temple?" The little girl blinked.

"Yes."

"That's right." The little girl clapped her hands and said, "Tell me what you have encountered." ”

After Lin Shouxi hesitated, he roughly described what he had seen and heard.

"Oh, so you blew out the candle of fear...... "The little girl thought for a moment."

"The Candle of Fear?"

"Well, the seven candles in the Black Emperor Temple symbolize the seven emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love and hatred, and if you blow out the corresponding candles, the corresponding scene will appear in the gray mist. You have blown away fear, and what you have seen should be something terrifying......" said the little girl, who knew it well.

Lin Shouxi suddenly realized.

Born from the heart, the scene outside the Black Emperor's temple was manifested by the Seven Emotions Divine Candle, and it was the drama girl who blew the candle at that time, so those scenes should be transformed by the fear in the drama girl's heart...... No wonder she said without thinking about it that it is natural for people to be afraid of giant things, and it seems that she has suffered accordingly.

In general, falling into fear becomes more fearful, and then being consumed by the gray fog in a vicious cycle.

Fortunately, it was not one person who broke into the gray mist, and his golden eyes happened to break the deadlock.

"You know this place well?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"Of course." The little girl patted her head and said, "I'm a big celebrity here, you can ask me if you don't understand anything." ”

"Why are you helping me?" Lin Shouxi was a little vigilant.

"Because we have a common enemy." The little girl smiled like a flower, but she didn't explain too much, but said, "Come, I'll first show you to meet the inmates in this building." ”
